Problem while accessing object in remote database

Question

Hi All,
We have a procedure "UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS" created in the remote databse in the "apps" schema. The synonym for the procedure is created in the billing schema(present in the remote database). A dblink is created the local database through which we are tring to access the remote object "UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS".
Dblink script:
create public database link PRE_TO_CEL
connect to BILLING
identified by BILLING
using 'MAP1';
When trying to access the object from the local machine using the schema name.object_name it works fine:
SQL> DESC APPS.UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS@PRE_TO_CEL
PROCEDURE APPS.UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS@PRE_TO_CEL
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
IN_MOBILE VARCHAR2 IN
IN_SERVICE_CODE VARCHAR2 IN
IN_STATUS VARCHAR2 IN
OUT_ERROR_CODE NUMBER OUT
But when trying the access the same object using the synonym_name it gives the error:
SQL> DESC UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS@PRE_TO_CEL
ERROR:
ORA-04043: object APPS.UPDATE_CONV_DETAILS does not exist
Regards,
Kirti

Answer 1

You have two schema.
apps
billing
both reside in remote database.
there on procedure and on procedure u create one synonym and u want to access it.
ur remote database name is "map1"
on ur local database ur create one dblink to access remote database.
ORA-04043: object string does not exist
Cause: An object name was specified that was not recognized by the system. There are several possible causes:
- An invalid name for a table, view, sequence, procedure, function, package, or package body was entered. Since the system could not recognize the invalid name, it responded with the message that the named object does not exist.
- An attempt was made to rename an index or a cluster, or some other object that cannot be renamed.
Action: Check the spelling of the named object and rerun the code. (Valid names of tables, views, functions, etc. can be listed by querying the data dictionary.)
