comment How to compare the database of a backup from another environment
You don't normally need luck when you are using export or the data pump, they are very reliable. Have you had previous errors in backup? What were they?

comment Compare content of databases in Oracle
are these databases supposed to be the same? Is this some variety of asynchronous replication? Or is only some of the data supposed to be the same in each database? And is the data numbers, CLOBS, XML?

comment What to do with those invalid JAVA CLASS object type objects in SYS prior to the upgrade the oracle db from 10g to 11g?
Then your next step is to remove and reinstall java. Or decide to do a fresh install of Oracle 11g and then do an import or data pump from the older version.I would add more but this expands the scope of the question beyond JAvA classes
