Solution:

The Oracle provided DBMS_MVIEW.explain_mview procedure was used to analyze each of the existing materialized views FAST REFRESH capabilities and write the results to the MV_CAPABILITIES_TABLE. Now using DBMS_MVIEW.explain_mview procedure I will analysis the possible reason why the materialized view cannot fast refresh.

SQL> EXEC dbms_mview.explain_mview('TX_FAIL_LOG_DAY_MV');

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> SELECT capability_name,

            possible,

            substr(msgtxt,1,60) AS msgtxt

           FROM mv_capabilities_table

          WHERE capability_name like '%FAST%'; 

 

CAPABILITY_NAME	POSSIBLE	MSGTXT
REFRESH_FAST	Y
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_INSERT	N	mv log does not have all necessary columns
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ONETAB_DML	N	see the reason why REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_INSERT is disabled
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ANY_DML	N	mv log does not have sequence #
REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ANY_DML	N	see the reason why REFRESH_FAST_AFTER_ONETAB_DML is disabled
REFRESH_FAST_PCT	Y

So you can see from the analysis that the log table does not have all the necessary columns. I have added the missing column.

SQL> ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG ON BIDATA.TX_FAIL_LOG_HOUR_MV ADD(CONTENTPROVIDERSERVICEID);

 

SQL> execute dbms_mview.refresh ('TX_FAIL_LOG_DAY_MV', 'f');

BEGIN DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH ('TX_FAIL_LOG_DAY_MV', 'f'); END;

Still we are getting the error because first we require a complete refresh. After the complete refresh fast refresh will work.
