RE: Database down

I discovered the trace file after restarting Oracle - so that process ID is no longer out there. I've also discovered that there is a specific patch for this problem, which appears not to have been applied. I will move forward with this, but would like to provide management with an explanation as to why we had problems now, after so many days of uptime.

Thanks for your help.

I don't suppose you've run ps -ef | grep 29937 yet, just out of curiousity, have you?

Just to follow up. I have the database backup. I am afraid however,
that the problem is still floating around.

Briefly, here is what occured:

I restarted Oracle because our application was unable to connect. I
could connect through svrmgrl, but a 'select sysdate from dual' just
hung. So I brought the database down, and recieved the memory segment error.

So we were having problems while the database was up. Here is a trace file dump that may be linked to the problem:

  PMON unable to acquire latch 80002060 modify parameter values     possible holder pid = 58 ospid=29937

• 2001.12.09.15.27.43.000

We added a third application server last week. Could that somehow be the source of these problems? This application has been running problem free for over 100 days.

Thanks for your input

Jeff
