CAUSE

EXPDP was performed in the SOURCE database while a shadow index exists for a Text index, see example below:

SQL> -- Some time in the past, a shadow index was created for Text index called QUICK_TEXT in this
example:
SQL> connect ctxbug/ctxbug
Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "CTXBUG"
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.create_shadow_index('quick_text', 'replace lexer m_lexer language column lang
POPULATE');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL>
SQL> -- Before the EXPDP was run, these exist
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL>
SQL> select i.idx_id, u.username, i.idx_name, idx_option
2 from ctxsys.dr$index i, dba_users u
3 where u.username = 'CTXBUG'
4 and i.idx_owner# = u.user_id;

IDX_ID USERNAME IDX_NAME IDX_OPTION

---------- ------------ ------------------------- ----------
3349 CTXBUG QUICK_TEXT YA
3353 CTXBUG RIO$3349 BY

SOLUTION

Check index status or the existence of RIO$ at SOURCE before running EXPDP. If RIO$ objects exist, let the index recreation
finish, or drop the shadow index before running EXPDP:

SQL> connect ctxbug/ctxbug

Connected.
SQL> show user
USER is "CTXBUG"
SQL> exec ctx_ddl.drop_shadow_index('quick_text');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> connect / as sysdba

Connected.
SQL> select i.idx_id, u.username, i.idx_name, idx_option
2 from ctxsys.dr$index i, dba_users u
3 where u.username = 'CTXBUG'
4 and i.idx_owner# = u.user_id;

IDX_ID USERNAME IDX_NAME IDX_OPTION
