Dbms_logstdby.instantiate_table error

Question

Hi,
I'm getting the following error when trying to re-instantiate a table in a logical standby database:
SQL> exec dbms_logstdby.instantiate_table('<OWNER>',<TABLE>',<DB_LINK>');
BEGIN dbms_logstdby.instantiate_table('<OWNER>',<TABLE>',<DB_LINK>'); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31634: job already exists
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGSTDBY", line 577
ORA-06512: at line 1
it seems that when you instantiate a table this way, oracle creates a Datapump import job with the default name 'SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_NN' where NN is a number between 00 and 99. When I checked the dba_datapump_jobs table, there were 100 entries for import jobs, all with a state of NOT RUNNING and number 00 - 99. When I tried to attach to one of these using impdp, the session closes saying the job completed successfully. Is this a bug? If so does anyone know of a fix for this, or can I just delete the old entries from dba_datapump_jobs?

Thanks! the package is valid but this worked:
EXECUTE DBMS_LOGSTDBY.INSTANTIATE_TABLE ( SCHEMA_NAME => 'HR', TABLE_NAME => 'TABLE', DBLINK => 'link_to_pid3728p' );
I had other privileges problems
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-31631: privileges are required
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_LOGSTDBY", line 664
ORA-06512: at line 1
this is what the alert log says:
The value (30) of MAXTRANS parameter ignored.
kupprdp: master process DM00 started with pid=32, OS id=7626
to execute - SYS.KUPM$MCP.MAIN('SYS_IMPORT_TABLE_01', 'SYS', 'KUPC$C_1_20111121182352', 'KUPC$S_1_20111121182352', 0);
But i solved those problems doing this: "grant dba to hr;" "alter user hr default role dba;". I rolled that back after INSTANTIATE_TABLE .
Thanks a lot!!
