that means you lost some object/access to some object when you did your move. That error
simply means "synonym is still here, but the object it points to is inaccessible". It
could be inaccessible due to a missing grant, or due to the object not being there.

You need to find out what synonym it is, query the data dictionary to figure out what
object it points to and figure out why you no longer have access to that object.

ops$tkyte@ORA920> create synonym s for t;
Synonym created.

ops$tkyte@ORA920> select * from s where rownum = 1;
