I'm not sure there is, you can't tell from the *_objects views and if it's not there it's probably not anywhere.

I found the select query to find the table name.

select * from user_dependencies where type='VIEW' and reference_name='VIEW_NAME';

That's more specific than your original question implied. You asked about any object. (Well, the "any" was implied by not specifiying a particular object type). If you had asked how to find why a view was invalid, you would have gotten better help. But even at that, your question was about "when", not "why", and to that the answer remains the same. There is not built-in data dictionary view that tells when an object became invalid.

So which part is wrong for this thread? What are we supposed to ignore and what are we supposed to focus on?

You were the one who posted stuff that you said was in the wrong thread.
So maybe you should explain rather than just telling people to re-read.

DBMS_LOGMNR can show when object changed from valid to invalid.
Please post solution after your question has been answered.

DBMS_LOGMNR reports content of REDO log file which records all DML changes inside Oracle DB.
When a DB Object goes from valid to invalid it is because DML was applied to the metadata for that object.
So you need to use DBMS_LOGMNR to search when the object was changed. The TIMESTAMP when the object changed is included in the row data.

Quite often objects go invalid because DDL was applied to one of the objects referenced by that object, rather than a direct change to that object.
In fact the only way for an object to go invalid due to a direct change is if you run in code that doesn't compile.

I have no idea about this question. It was apps dba who came and asked me whether is there a way to find out when object became invalid.
I told him there is no way to find out when object became invalid.To clarify my doubt,I posted the query here.

What did you discover for yourself when you googled "dbms_logmnr"?

So why didn't you pose the question to the "apps dBA", or the application developers? Working these kinds of issues within the organization should be a two-way street.
