EXP-00085 warnings while doing full backup

exportoracle

During a full export of my Oracle 10.2.0.2 database, I encounter the following warnings

[...]

Export terminated successfully with warnings.

I looked for these three objects querying dba_objects with their object_id and it returns

  • ADV_SQLACCESS5150248
  • ADV_SQLACCESS9067727
  • ADV_SQLACCESS2676493

Are these warnings worrying?

How should I fix them and what is going on exactly?

I expect this is bug 5120780 fixed in 10.2.0.4 (a quick search on Metalink would have told you).
