Select failed from V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS when called from a procedure

Question

Assuming the following user with these privileges granted:

-- create admin user on CDB
CREATE USER c##myadmin IDENTIFIED BY myadmin DEFAULT TABLESPACE system QUOTA UNLIMITED ON system ACCOUNT UNLOCK
/
-- allow access to all PDBs to the admin user
ALTER USER c##myadmin SET CONTAINER_DATA=ALL CONTAINER=CURRENT
/ 
-- grant needed permissions
GRANT DBA to c##myadmin                            ;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO c##myadmin                 ;
GRANT CREATE TABLE TO c##myadmin                   ;
GRANT EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE TO c##myadmin           ;
GRANT EXECUTE ON DBMS_LOGMNR TO c##myadmin         ;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$DATABASE TO c##myadmin          ;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGMNR_CONTENTS TO c##myadmin   ;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$ARCHIVED_LOG TO c##myadmin      ;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOG TO c##myadmin               ;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$LOGFILE TO c##myadmin           ;
GRANT RESOURCE, CONNECT TO c##myadmin              ;

Now, when I connected as my myadmin, I can run the following:

BEGIN 
  DECLARE v NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
  DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE(LogFileName=>'/path/to/archive/log/arc0000013.0001', Options=>DBMS_LOGMNR.new);
  DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR(StartScn=>23456789, EndScn=>23567890,  Options=>DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG+DBMS_LOGMNR.NO_ROWID_IN_STMT);
  select count(*) into v from v$logmnr_contents;
END;
END;
/

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

but when it created as a procedure it failed with insufficient privileges:

Create Or Replace Procedure Test AS
 v NUMBER:=0;
BEGIN
 DBMS_LOGMNR.ADD_LOGFILE(LogFileName=>'/path/to/archive/log/arc0000013.0001', Options=>DBMS_LOGMNR.new);
 DBMS_LOGMNR.START_LOGMNR(StartScn=>23456789, EndScn=>23567890,  Options=>DBMS_LOGMNR.DICT_FROM_ONLINE_CATALOG+DBMS_LOGMNR.NO_ROWID_IN_STMT); 
 Select Count(*) into v from v$logmnr_contents;
END;
/
Exec Test
/

Procedure Test compiled


Error starting at line 9 in command -
BEGIN Test; END;
Error report - 
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "C##MYADMIN.TEST", line 6
ORA-06512: at line 1
01031. 00000 -  "insufficient privileges"
*Cause:    An attempt was made to perform a database operation without
           the necessary privileges.
*Action:   Ask your database administrator or designated security
           administrator to grant you the necessary privileges

If I comment out the select the procedure succeeds.

Is there an additional privilege to enable it to run the select from a procedure?

Answer 1

V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS

V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS contains log history information. To query this view, you must have the LOGMINING privilege.

The LOGMINING privilege was granted to DBA role. When running an anonymous block, all your privileges granted through a role are effective. When running a stored procedure defined with the default definers rights option, privileges granted through a role are ignored. The LOGMINING privilege should be granted directly to your user:

grant logmining to c##myadmin;

Answer 2

You need the ability to REFERENCE the table/view in order to include in a precompiled ptogram.

For trial and error testing ONLY, you could grant ALL permissions. But, this is a serious security risk.
