You don't reorganize sys objects directly. You change the allocation of sys objects to avoid problems with dbs of many thousands of objects AND object volatility, then you re-create the dictionary. The way to do it is explained in some prior messages here and in the file (search on sql.bsq) and a few other sites. Check with Metalink and Oracle support before going open season on it, though. It can be tricky and is only useful for dbs with a LOT of volatile objects. And TEST before doing this. It worked for me every single time I used it with Financials, Peoplesoft, SAP but it may not in your case. BTW, "support" will tell you up-front that it is not supported, but just ask them why is it their consulting group does it EVERY single time when THEY install Oracle apps and they'll open up.

Yuch!
