RE: streams capture specify SCN without dbms_cature_adm.build

See below a note from Metalink, which doesn't use build. How To Setup One-Way SCHEMA Level Streams Replication (Doc ID 301431.1)

Worst case you can still setup Streams without build. If there were dictionary changes, you may see errors on a few tables, my suggestion is to rebuild/refresh only those tables. BTW, I'm not advocating building streams without build, I have seen more issues with it than successes. Unless the source database is too large that you aren't considering a fresh expdp, you'll save time going through that approach.

With 10.2.0.1, you are likely to hit some serious bugs, you may want to look into the following note for the recommended patches. Streams Specific Patches (Doc ID 437838.1)

Ujang,
As I read that thread bpolarsk is talking about determining if a data dictionary build has already been dumped to the redo stream to determine the furthest back in time you *could* create a new streams process from. This still requires a dictionary build to have happened at some point though. Streams needs the source dictionary for correct interpretation of the lcrs (and likely some other information as well).

according to bpolarsk, theoretically it is possible...

may be someone here had proved the theory?
