Remove OLAP From the Standard Edition database

OLAP is not an option available with standard edition database but it gets added in an invalid state when a database is created using one of the provided database templates (transaction processing database) with oracle. Although option get installed it remains in a invalid state.
Metalink note "How To Find Out If OLAP Is Being Used And How To Remove OLAP [Doc ID 739032.1]" could be used to verify if olap is installed and used. (being used in a standard edition system is unlikely). The remove steps listed in this metalink note cannot be run on standard edition as those files are not installed with standard edition.

There's another metalink that list "How to Remove OLAP From the Standard Edition database. [ID 1362752.1]" which is by dropping the OLAPSYS user and running utlrp afterwards. This will remove the OLAP Catalog option from the database but OLAP Analytic Workspace and Oracle OLAP API will remain in an invalid state.

Running the validate_ordim gives the following errors

From the output it seems that some of the spatial component related objects are invalid (since spatial option is off after the upgrade) thus oracle media that depends on it also becomes invalid. Remove the Oracle media component which also removes spatial component which is depends on media.

This will increase the number of invalid objects but these will be OLAP related objects and has no impact on the rest of the database operation.

SQL> select owner,object_type,count(*) from dba_objects where status='INVALID' group by owner,object_type;

It is possible to drop the olapsys user and also drop remaining public synonyms.

DROP USER OLAPSYS CASCADE;

select 'drop '||object_type||' '||substr(object_name,1,40) ||';' from dba_objects where status='INVALID';

===========================================================================

After this expdp/impdp could run into following error

ORA-39127: unexpected error from call to "SYS"."DBMS_CUBE_EXP"."INSTANCE_EXTENDED_INFO_EXP"

SQL> select PACKAGE,SCHEMA,class from exppkgact$ where (schema,package) not in (select owner,object_name from dba_objects where object_type='PACKAGE');

After this export will work as expected and there will no invalid objects nor any invalid database components
