I tried to restart a database and get the following error
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced

The following errors are reported in the alert log.
ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01406: fetched column value was truncated


Can anybody help me in sorting this one out, please.


Kind Regards

Type: PROBLEM
Status: PUBLISHED

Problem Description
-------------------

The application includes the following components:
- Tuxedo
- The instance is one node in a multimaster replication configuration or the
instance is a snapshot master site.

The instance crashes frequently and the alert log shows the following error
stream:

(1)
Error 604 trapped in 2PC on transaction 26.24.13218. Cleaning up.
Error stack returned to user:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02051: another session in same transaction failed
---> This is the first error

(2) 3-5 minutes later
Errors in file /bd/bback/A/trc/ora_13425_bback.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [10] [4160811208] [111404864] [0] [] []
---> Above error indicates that shadow process has dumped core

(3) shortly after error message (2)
Errors in file /bd/bback/A/trc/pmon_27252_bback.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [10] [4160700856] [2644007196] [0] [] []
---> Pmon tries to clean up the abended shadow process but fails; because it fails to
clean up the abended process, Pmon itself fails.

(4) - shortly after error message (3)
SNP3: terminating instance due to error 472
Instance terminated by SNP3, pid = 27295
Wed Feb 27 10:20:27 2002
---> When Pmon abends, by definition the instance will also abend.

In the trace files identified in the alert log the following stacks are observed:

sc_onstack: 000000009d98591c, sc_mask 0000000000000000
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [10] [4160700856] [2644007196] [0] [] []
----- Call Stack Trace -----

Solution Description
The first error is due to Bug 1984822:

BugTag: Support notes on Bug 1984822 - DDR info <BugDesc:1984822>
Affects: RDBMS (80-92)
Abstract: Concurrent execution on tightly coupled transaction branches
can cause logical corruption
Fixed-Releases: 8173 9013 9200
Tags: CORR XA
Details:
The branches in a tightly-coupled distributed transaction can erase
each other's work if executing in parallel leading to logical
corruption.
Workaround:
1. Serialize access to the branches.
or 2. Use loosely-coupled transactions.

Explanation
The errors ORA-604 ORA-02051, introduce a dynamic memory corruption into the SGA
which causes the shadow process to abend and generate the ORA-7445 error and
dump core.

Pmon wakes up and sees that there is a process that had crashed, and tries to
clean up after the abended process. In rolling back the failed transactons,
Pmon also encounters the memory corruption and is also unable to handle the
corruption causing Pmon to abend. Pmon failure then results in instance failure.
