Action Plan

The issue occurs because the DIA_CODEPATH table in the local schema has been corrupted.

  1. To solve the issue you need to run the queries provided below in the local schema and run analysis and snapshot again. 

    SQL QUERY

    drop table if exist TMP_CODEPATH;  

create table TMP_CODEPATH as  
select *  
  from DIA_CODEPATH;  

drop table DIA_CODEPATH;  

(* For below query minvalue can be fetched using select max(ID) + 1 from TMP_CODEPATH)  

create sequence DIA_CODEPATH_ID_SEQ   
increment by 1   
minvalue  <*minvalue from query provided above)  
start with < any value after minvalue>;  

create table DIA_CODEPATH  
            (  
             ID integer not null default (nextval('<local_schema>.DIA_CODEPATH_ID_SEQ'::regclass)),  
             JOBID integer not null,  
             METRICID integer not null,  
             PATHID integer not null,  
             OBJECTID integer null  
            );  

insert into DIA_CODEPATH  
      (ID, JOBID, METRICID, PATHID, OBJECTID)  
select ID, JOBID, METRICID, PATHID, OBJECTID  
  from TMP_CODEPATH;  

create index IXL_DIA_CODEPATH on DIA_CODEPATH (JOBID asc, PATHID asc);
