EXP-00056: ORACLE error 19206 encountered
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully
Also the error ORA-600 [qmxtrGetInputOpn1] may occur.
Cause
XDB installation/dictionary built causes some of the underlying XML views to be INVALID. The error occurs when dbms_xmlgen tries to access one those invalid views.
Solution
- Upgrade to 10g where the issue is fixed.
Or:
- Remove XDB component, if you are not using it. The steps are described in:
Note 1292089.1 - Master Note for Oracle XML Database (XDB) Install / Deinstall
Note: A possible workaround is turning off query rewrite for XML operators by setting the following event:
SQL> alter system set events '19027 trace name context forever, level 1';
To disable the event at any time
SQL> alter system set events '19027 trace name context off';
