Re: Oracle8 - Solaris2.6 - core dump

Russell,
Oracle produces core dumps for most serious problems, these and the oracle message are logged in the alert file.
8040 and 8041 are notorious for this. Check out /opt/oracle8/admin/SID/bdump/alert_SID.log After upgrading to 80421 the number of core dumps has reduced significantly, from 10/day to 1 or zero. We even have a cron job to rm the core files every 15 min. This gave us time to review the error.
Recommend you upgrade asap.
David.
