    Restarting dead SNP, ORA-600

    Environment: Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 5.8. For some reason, my database is generating bunch of trace files that filled up my filesystem so I had to remove them.
    --------------------------------------------------------
    Alert log shows:

    Wed Apr 7 15:10:59 2004
    Restarting dead background process SNP3
    SNP3 started with pid=8
    Wed Apr 7 15:11:04 2004
    Errors in file /oracle/admin/h8cotrn/bdump/h8cotrn_snp3_17576.trc:
    ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [15419], [severe error during PL/SQL
    execution], [], [], [], [], [], []
    ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [77303], [], [], [], [], [], [],
    []
    ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [77303]

    Did some init.ora parameters get changed? Please advise.
    Thanks

    Nope, Looks like some PL/SQL program causes this problem. We have had this kind of problem while interacting with pro* COBOL.

    Check what programming was running at that time that failed.

    Hi Dharma,

    Actually from what I know, there is noone running anything. I bounced the database twice but the trace files continue.

    There might be some hidden jobs running by cron job of some sort??

    I would check - if it only happens at startup - if there are any database triggers attached.

    There is one job performing cbo_stats.gather_stats. I think this is a standard job. Is it creating excessive trace files, what do you think?

    SQL> select job,LOG_USER, WHAT, TOTAL_TIME, BROKEN from dba_jobs;

    JOB LOG_USER
    ---------- ------------------------------
    WHAT
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    TOTAL_TIME B
    ---------- -
    21 SYSTEM
    cbo_stats.gather_stats;
    47052 N

    your query shows it's broken, so that probably means it failed 16 times and has 16 trace files with it. Anything in the alert log to indicate why it's broken?

    Hm, the way I see the results of his query it indicates the job is NOT broken (BROKEN = 'N').

    Broken = N, does it mean not broken.

    Anyway the database is going crazy generating tracefiles every 1-2 min. Restarting dead background process SNP1

    Why is that job running, can we kill it?
