Getting ORA-20002: 3825: Error '-4061-ORA-04061: Error from business event

Question

Hi,
I have defined custom subscription to the iRecruitment business event oracle.apps.per.api.assignment.update_apl_asg . In this custom subscription i am launching a custom workflow to send Notification about offer acceptance or Application Submission information.
The subscription package is in my custom schema. When i do transaction to invoke the subscription i am getting below error.
ORA-20002: 3825: Error '-4061 - ORA-04061: existing state of has been invalidated ORA-04061: existing state of package
"XXPJ.XXPJ_IREC_EXT_COMPONENTS_PK" has been invalidated ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package "XXPJ.PT in Package irc_party_swi Procedure
registered_user_application.
I need to bounce the Workflow services and Apache server to clear this error and functionality work for some time, again after doing 3-4 transaction i get the same error.
Any help on this appreciated.
Regards,
Ram

From error: "existing state of has been invalidated ORA-04061" It only can happen when current db session finds this package as INVALID. Now when which cases it can find ir INVALID:
1) One case is that: some other db session "really" compiled your current package. Please note: even if the status is VALID but other db session will see that as INVALID in first attempt and in second attempt, current db session will try to recompile that on-the-fly.
2) Or Some other db session compiled or altered dependent objects, I mean objects on which your current package is dependent on.
