Not able to select the other schema objects mrtadata

Question

Hi,
My function returns the matadata of a table (xml format) in the current schema but unable return output of another schema objects. I have the privileges of export full database, import full database and select_catalog_role also.
It doesn't throw any error just throws empty xml.
my code is...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TUNER.F_DBEG3(V_Schema VARCHAR2, V_Table VARCHAR2)
RETURN XMLTYPE
AS
Handle NUMBER; --handle returned by OPEN
V_First_Part XMLTYPE;
V_Next_Part XMLTYPE;
V_Output_Total XMLTYPE;
V_Cnt NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('START THE PROGM');
Handle := DBMS_METADATA.OPEN('DATABASE_EXPORT');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Open the handle');
DBMS_METADATA.SET_COUNT(HANDLE, 1000);
DBMS_METADATA.set_filter (Handle, 'INCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', '=''TABLE''');
DBMS_METADATA.SET_FILTER(Handle,'NAME', V_Schema,'SCHEMA');
DBMS_METADATA.SET_FILTER(Handle,'NAME', V_Table,'TABLE');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Filter the required objects');
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Start the loop');
DECLARE
no_mvlog exception;
pragma exception_init( no_mvlog, -31608 );
BEGIN
V_First_Part := DBMS_METADATA.FETCH_XML(Handle);
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_mvlog THEN
EXIT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('No mv log');
END;
IF V_First_Part IS NOT NULL THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('First Count is '|| v_cnt);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Into the process ');
else
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Exit the loop ');
exit;
end if;
IF V_Cnt = 0 THEN
V_Output_Total := V_First_Part;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('track the metadata in xml form ');
ELSE
IF V_Cnt is not null and V_Cnt > 0 then
SELECT EXTRACT(V_First_Part, '/ROWSET/ROW') INTO V_Next_Part FROM DUAL;
SELECT APPENDCHILDXML(V_Output_Total,'/ROWSET',V_Next_Part) INTO V_Output_Total FROM DUAL;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('combining the child xml''s ');
END IF;
END IF;
V_Cnt := V_Cnt +1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' Last Count is '|| v_cnt);
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('converted into xml');
return v_output_TOTAL;
DBMS_METADATA.CLOSE(Handle);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND
THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (
-20001,
'Please check! ' || V_Table || ' not an object'
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
DECLARE
SQL_ERROR NUMBER := SQLCODE;
SQL_ERRMESS VARCHAR2 (250) := SUBSTR (SQLERRM, 1, 200);
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (SQL_ERROR || 'Message : ' || sql_errmess);
END;
END;
but when i use like below i got o/p.
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_XML('TABLE','ACT_RAP_T','EMACH') FROM DUAL;
Please tell me where iam wrong.
regards,
Madhavi.

Can you let me know is this problem for the components which are in containers only..
Yes, as Charles said, the problem is for grouping/ungrouping in containers.  If you find otherwise, please let us know.

This problem you will be looking for next iteration, so is it going to be Service Pack or some Hot Fix..
Is it possible for us to know the issues which will be looked for the next iteration so that we can know what are the issues current version has so that we have the good idea..
Correct, it will be for Fix Pack 1 (size between a Service Pack and a Hot Fix).
We don't have a list of issues.  I don't believe it's procedure to disseminate such information.  Usually we give the information on an individual issue basis.  For instance, this issue is slated for FP1.
