RE: exp full=y

Seems like you have two choices.

1. Ignore the dbms_utility errors then run the catalog/catproc/etc scripts after the import as if you were doing an upgrade (which, in effect, you are).

or 2) Import all non-oracle schemas individually.

Option 2 is cleaner but can be a lot more work since security has to be set up all over again. For a production environment, I would lean in this direction (actually, I would lean away from exp/imp and towards using a regular backup and renaming datafiles on the new machine unless there were other considerations). Option 1 should work fine.

Pressing on, I was able to hit a few toes.  I get the following
errors.  I neglected to mention I am moving from 8.1.7.2 to 8.1.7.4.

IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error 4042:
 "BEGIN  "
 "SYS.DBMS_UTILITY.EXEC_DDL_STATEMENT('GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_DEFER_QUERY TO D"
 "BA');"
 "COMMIT; END;"
IMP-00003: ORACLE error 4042 encountered
ORA-04042: procedure, function, package, or package body does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_SQL", line 824
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 32
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_UTILITY", line 409
ORA-06512: at line 2

All of the subsequent calls to DBMS_UTILITY get the same errors.  
So, what did I miss?  Where is this utility supposed to be created?
