Cause

A nonexistent or an invalid function name was specified as the Password Verification Function (PVF). This occurred when either of the following was true:

  • The current user executing the {CREATE|ALTER} PROFILE DDL did not have EXECUTE privilege granted on the PVF.
  • The PVF was either created as an invalid function or it was invalidated due to other dependencies on database objects.

Action

Use a valid function name. Depending on the error, either one of the following should be done:

  • If you need EXECUTE privileges on the PVF, please contact your database administrator.
  • If the PVF is in an INVALID state, please check DBA_ERRORS and DBA_OBJECTS view for more information.
