I have a perplexing issue that I hope someone may have some ideas on.
 
We have a Windows2000 server using COM+ applications to connect to a 8.1.7.4 OPFS HP-UX database to process large amounts of EDI records.  There is no pattern, but on average 2 times a week, this application that is processing heavy EDI will error off with "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected and ORA-06512: at line 1 errors."  Note that these errors are showing up in the EDI load logs and are NOT generated in the database (8.1.7.4, HP-UX).  If I flush the shared_pool, and immediatly rerun the EDI load, the data will load correctly.  I cannot understand why flushing the shared_pool helps this and how to correct so our EDI processing does not error.  There are no shared_pool errors in the alert log (no 4031s, no 4030s). 
 
A few others on MetaLink have had similiar errors, but no resolution has been posted.
 
When this happens I am taking system state dumps and sending to Oracle.
 
So, in a nutshell, my EDI loading will stall (or error off with misc ora-6512s).  If I flush the shared_pool, it starts to process just fine.  Any ideas - besides just flushing the shared_pool often?
 
TIA.
