STEP 1

Check the existence of the SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB

{rac1:tutu} $ sqlplus sys/<passwd>@rac-scan:1522/tutu.statcan.ca as sysdba

SQL> select name from gv$database;

NAME
---------
TUTU
TUTU

SQL> select status from gv$instance;

STATUS
------------
OPEN
OPEN

SQL>
select object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name like '%SYS$SERVICE_%';
STEP 2

Modify parameter job_queue_processes to 0 so that none of the AQ jobs start.

SQL> show parameter job;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
job_queue_processes integer 1000
SQL>
SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=0 scope=both sid='*';

System altered.

SQL> show parameter job;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
job_queue_processes integer 0
SQL>

STEP 3

Drop Table SYS.SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB

SQL> exec
dbms_aqadm.drop_queue_table(queue_table=>'SYS.SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB',force =>
TRUE);

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>
STEP 4

Check whether the table,SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB, dropped or not

SQL> col object_name for a30

SQL> select object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name like
'%SYS$SERVICE_%';

no rows selected

STEP 5

Recreate Queue tables

@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/execsvr.sql

SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/execsvr.sql

STEP 6

Check whether the table SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB, recreated or not

SQL> col object_name for a30

SQL> select object_name, object_type from dba_objects where object_name like
'%SYS$SERVICE_%';

OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE

AQ$_SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB_E QUEUE
SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_R RULE SET
SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_N RULE SET
SYS$SERVICE_METRICS QUEUE

17 rows selected.
STEP 7

Modify parameter job_queue_processes

SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=1000 scope=both sid='*';

System altered.
STEP 8

Check AQ table is getting populated or not.

SQL> select count(*), msg_state, queue from

AQ$SYS$SERVICE_METRICS_TAB group by msg_state,queue; 2

COUNT(*) MSG_STATE QUEUE

---------- ---------------- ------------------------------
1 READY SYS$SERVICE_METRICS
27 PROCESSED SYS$SERVICE_METRICS

SQL>

STEP 9

Make sure no invalid objects

SQL> select owner,object_name,status,object_type from all_objects WHERE

STATUS='INVALID';

no rows selected

SQL>

 Below is just to show what the job queue process was before the fix, you can see undeliverable
issues

SQL> show parameter job;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
job_queue_processes integer 1000
SQL> alter system set job_queue_processes=0 scope=both sid='*';

System altered.

SQL> show parameter job;

NAME TYPE VALUE

------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
job_queue_processes integer 0

Below is what it looks like after the fix.
