Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Lock waits even though nothing in v$session.lockwait ... ?
It's probably because you haven't waited long enough for PMON to wake up. You can manually wake it up by go inyo svrmgrl, type oradebug wakeup [pmon pid as shown in ps -ef at OS level].
Let us know if it helps.
Can you also show us the relevant portion of your v$resource_limit?
