Oracle Error Description

EXP-00078: Error exporting metadata for index string. Index creation will be skipped

Reason for the Error EXP-00078: Error exporting metadata for index string. Index creation will be skipped

Domain indexes export private metadata via anonymous PL/SQL blocks prior to the CREATE INDEX statement. Export does this by calling the ODCIIndexGetMetadata method on the implementation type associated with the index. A problem occurred inside this routine. Because the metadata is considered an integral part of the index, the CREATE INDEX statement was not written to the dump file.
