Drop invalid FPA objects after 11.5.10 upgrade if you are not using Project Portfolio Analysis

After applying maintenance pack patch 3480000 to an 11.5.9 instance, we had several invalid FPA views. Since Project Portfolio Analysis(FPA) is a new product introduced in 11.5.10 and we are not using it currently, as advised in metalink note 400964.1, we dropped the invalid FPA views.

After applying PJ_PF.M RUP4 patch 5644830, the following FPA objects are invalid:

SQL> select object_type,object_name from dba_objects
where object_name like 'FPA%'
and owner='APPS'
and status='INVALID' 2 3 4
5 /

I logged an SR with Oracle to find out how to fix them. This is what they said:

ACTION PLAN
============
Hi Vikram,
Are you using Oracle Project Portfollio Analysis? If not, then you can ignore the or drop the invalid objects (see Note 436956.1).

Thanks,
Glade


Hi Glade,

We are not using Project Portfolio Analysis. We are only interested in getting the invalids fixed. If we can drop them, it would bring down the invalid count and meet our requirement of having
zero invalids after this upgrade. However I am unable to access metalink note 436956.1. Maybe this is not yet released to general public. Please paste the contents of note 436956.1 for our reference.

HI Vikram,
Here is the Note:

Title: FPA Invalid Objects After Applying Projects RUP4 Patch 5644830

Goal

After applying Oracle Projects Family Pack M (11i.PJ_PF.M) Rollup 4 have three following FPA invalid objects :


Package Body FPA_MAIN_PROCESS_PVT
Package FPA_SCENARIO_PVT
Package Body FPA_SCENARIO_PVT FPA

These packages did not exist prior to applying these patches
Do not have Portfolio Analysis installed

Could these FPA invalid objects be dropped?

Hi Glade,

The Note refers to only 3 objects:

Package Body FPA_MAIN_PROCESS_PVT
Package FPA_SCENARIO_PVT
Package Body FPA_SCENARIO_PVT FPA

But we have 11 invalids, is it ok to drop all 11 ?
