I think the issue here is that the import is hanging on a call to this procedure, not on importing the procedure. If so I'd have thought an SR might be productive. cheers Niall On 6/28/07, Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx <Joel.Patterson@xxxxxxxxxxx > wrote: I do you import SYS objects if you cannot export them even with a full export?

Offhand, it seems your problem might be that you are importing SYS objects. At least that is where you say your import is hanging. But on the other hand you say that you are importing 4 users, so I'm confused. Are you doing a full import? I'm guessing you mean that you exported using 9i using the EXP utility (rather than imp utility). Assuming that you aren't trying to import the SYS objects, you might try exporting specific types of objects and then importing them. Maybe just tables to see if it completes. The name of the object sounds like maybe export is trying to reset some object after import. You might Google that name since it is pretty unique, and also check Metalink. Another trick is that you can take the export file and run it through the Unix "strings" command and get a text file that can be used to create the objects (ROWS=N). You may have to format for line length. But you could run that in SQL*Plus and it might run and if it didn't you might get a better idea of where the problem lies.
