In one of the recent database migration & upgrade activities, I have migrated an Oracle EBS database 11.2.0.4 to a new DB host and upgraded to 12.1.0.2. After migration and post upgrade, an utlrp.sql was ran to validate the 100k invalid objects in the database.

Weirdly, during the utlrp execution and when the INVALID objects count goes to 200, the INVALID objects counts started to increase again, and ultimately reaching the 100k number again. The utlrp was in kind of loop and never exited.

As a workaround, I have manually compiled all invalid objects and ran ultrp which ran successfully. I am yet to unlock the theory caused the situation.

Stay tuned for more updates on this post.
