Exporting and importing an Oracle SDE schema does not include public synonyms

Description

When exporting the SDE schema in Oracle, public synonyms are not present when the export file is imported in the target Oracle database.

Without the public synonyms, ArcGIS and SQL applications encounter errors when executing SQL, which reference ST_Geometry objects indicating the object does not exist.

Cause

Public synonyms are not owned by a schema, they are public. Therefore, when exporting the SDE schema, the public synonyms that were created by the SDE user to reference ST_Geometry objects are not exported by the Oracle export utility.
