Dear list, I'm running into a strange problem on one of my dev databases.
First, the particulars: Dell Dual Pentium III 1 Gig Ram Oracle 8.1.6 The database in question is used for testing and development on a customized 3rd party app. This past week I've seen the app max out the number of processes by logging in with one of it's utilities until there were no processes left. This morning something a little different happened. The ORA-20 popped up again, but this time, there were not corresponding entries in v$session. Joining v$session and v$process returned only 31 rows, while there were actually 150 rows in v$process. Very strange. I then tried to use oradebug to get a processstate dump, and the first attempt completed very quickly, and no trace file was generated. e.g. SVMGR> oradebug setorapid 100 Windows thread id: 664, image: ORACLE.EXE SVRMGR> oradebug dump processstate 10 SVRMGR> . I then tried to use oradebug to get a processstate dump again with a different level, and that never did complete. SVMGR> oradebug setorapid 100 Windows thread id: 664, image: ORACLE.EXE SVRMGR> oradebug dump processstate 1 ... A subsequent attempt on another PID with a dump level of 10 did the same thing, it hung. At this point I bounced the database, which took a few minutes. Any ideas on how to go about troubleshooting this? I may run a periodic job to capture some v$process and v$session info for post mortem use, but a dump would be helpful to find out what the orphaned processes are.
