Folks,  

Anyone know how to extract the DDL for recreating the default profile using dbms_metadata? The following works for all other profiles except the default one:  

SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('PROFILE',profile)

  FROM dba_profiles

 WHERE profile != 'DEFAULT';  

When running dbms_metadata against the default profile I get the following error:  

ERROR: ORA-31603: object "DEFAULT" of type PROFILE not found in schema "SYS"

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 628

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 1221

ORA-06512: at line 1  

I thought perhaps the default profile was created under a privileged user, but as you can see from the error, extracting even as "sys" I get this error.
