EXP-00008: ORACLE error 904 encountered
ORA-00904: "OLEVEL": invalid identifier
EXP-00000: Export terminated unsuccessfully


Changes

The patch for Bug 5872788 was installed to try and resolve the issue.

Cause

The problem is caused by installing the fix for Bug 5872788 but not having followed the post-installation instructions mentioned in the README of the patch.

The issue has been identified in Bug 7040430 which is closed as duplicate of Bug 5872788.

# Patch Special Instructions:
# ---------------------------
# Make sure all instances running under the ORACLE_HOME being patched
# are cleanly shutdown before installing this patch. Also ensure that
# the tool used to terminate the instance(s) has exited cleanly.
#
# cd rdbms/admin
# sqlplus as sysdba
# @catexp.sql
#
# If the Oracle inventory is not setup correctly this utility will
# fail. To check accessibility to the inventory you can use the
# command
