I've gotten several private emails that demonstrate I didn't clearly explain the problem I'm having.
The package compiles fine once recompiled. It is my understanding that when an attempt is made to execute a procedure or function contained in the package, automated compiling should take place and the executor should be non the wiser. This is not what we are seeing. Instead the application receives the error:
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded ORA-04061: existing state of package body "PROJECT.PCKG_CHARGECODE" has been invalidated ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package body "PROJECT.PCKG_CHARGECODE" We have added an exception handler in the code to recompile the package with "execute immediate 'alter package xxxx compile';" that prevents the user from seeing the error but I would like to prevent this from being necessary in the first place.
Also, am I wrong in expecting the compilation to happen automatically?
This is a 10.2.0.4 database on RHEL 5 by the way.

Subject: source of package invalidation
We are seeing packages invalidated in our production database and I don't have a clue how to track down the actual cause.
I've taken a look at dba_dependencies and know the potential candidates for causing the invalidation but I'm looking to actually identify the chain of events that is causing this.
Is there an oracle event that can be set to generate a trace file for something like this?
Any other ideas on how to track this down?
Thanks!
Chris
