spurious threads

[Jeffrey Beckstrom]

We have had an ongoing problem for nearly 1.5 years now starting with 8.1.7.3.2.  If we patch the Oracle Apps 11i, a majority of the time, the oracle.exe process gets a runaway thread.  A thread exists in the oracle.exe but not in v$process/v$session.  Shutting down the database does not resolve the problem.  Only stopping the service will resolve it.    Two weeks ago implemented FND G/HRMS F in dev/test with production scheduled for this weekend.  Since then have noticed high thread counts.  Dev has topped out at 1000+, test is currently at 809 with only 50 v$process entries!!!!   Help.   Jeffrey Beckstrom Database Administrator Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority 1240 W. 6th Street Cleveland, Ohio 44113 (216) 781-4204
