TTS will not be successful until the XDB error is resolved.

So we need to uninstall XDB and then again install XDB once tt is done.

Uinstalling XDB:

XDB Removal

The catnoqm.sql script drops XDB.

spool xdb_removal.log
set echo on;

connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate;
startup
@?/rdbms/admin/catnoqm.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
@?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

set pagesize 1000
col owner format a8
col object_name format a35

select owner, object_name, object_type, status
from dba_objects
where status = 'INVALID' and owner = 'SYS';

spool off;

Then again start the import.
