    Can you post the relevant error numbers and messages from the error log? Also, are any trace files written? Are there any patterns you are seeing like it is happening during a load, during the execution of a certain procedure, etc..

    found dead multi-threaded server 'S000', pid = (10, 1)
    Tue Nov 28 08:30:59 2000
    DBW0: terminating instance due to error 472
    Instance terminated by DBW0, pid = 165

    this is the message of alert log.No i cannot see any perticular procedure causing that.how can i trace that any procedure is causing it ?there r so many users.most of the times

    isee-
    restarting dead background process snp0

    this is the last statement in alert log,after this statement i can see i cannot connect to sql*plus.so most often snp are not getting started.do u want anything more??

    If you have configured MTS, then increase maximum number of servers, and dispatches in INIT.ORA file.
    Monitor the background processes using a shell script.
    Is your SGA size less than available memory?

    What Version of Oracle, Patchsets, NT Service Packs?

    Update:
    I found quite a lot of hits on Metalink associated with this. There seems to be some known bugs on certain versions.

    On common piece of advice is to remove Dead Connection Detection from the sqlnet.ora file on the machine on which the instance is located:
    i.e. set:
    sqlnet.expire_time=0

    Are you getting any ORA-600 messages produced?

    hi everybody,
    I increased the no.of servers to 7 as tamil said but constantly this error message is coming in alertlog-
    skgpspawn failed:category = 27143, depinfo = 9261, op = spdcr, loc = skgpspawn
    failed to start multi-threaded server 'S006', oer=27143
    whats the problem???
    its oracle 8.1.5 on NT 4.0 service pack 5.ora-600 I also saw in alertlog some days before,how to get rid of it?
    any patches??

    another thing -if at server i connect by giving scott/tiger I see ora-12560 tns protocol adapter error.

    but if I issue scott/tiger@orcl its getting connected.this is happenning occasionally,if i restart for sometime the problem gets solved ,but again after sometime it comes.

    thanks for all help.any suggestion is most welcome.

    Well, I found this on a link about a very similar problem:


    The ORA-600:[729] error is likely caused by a bug which effects 8.1.5 where a shared server process can encounter an ORA-600:[729] error when a process using database links disconnects. The bug is fixed in 8.1.6 and included in the 8.1.5.1 patchset release. The 8.1.5.1.1 patchset release for NT is available for download from the Patches option on MetaLink Home.

    I've also noticed a couple of other links relating to SP5.

    The common suggestion though is to set:

    sqlnet.expire_time=0

    in the sqlnet.ora file on the server, and see if that helps. The other suggestion is to raise a TAR with Oracle - I think they will come up with quite a few hits relating to this. Although you will need the whole ORA-600 message and any associated trace files.

    let me tell u this is workgroup server ,so pl tell me whats the limits of workgroup server,can i use any patch to overcome this error.
    but first tell whats diff betwn workgroup and enterprise edition,i know partitioning,transportable tbsp,index organized tables are not supported here.except these features if there is any limits set .

    some other errors in alertlog-
    Errors in file E:\ORACLE\admin\ORTELAPP\bdump\ortelappSNP1.TRC:
    ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
    ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 20 bytes (callheap,heap mark)
    skgpspawn failed:category = 27143, depinfo = 9261, op = spdcr, loc = skgpspawn
    failed to start dispatcher 'D002' for network '(ADDRESS=(PARTIAL=YES)(PROTOCOL=TCP))', oer=27143

    Shortage of memory is your real problem.
    You should decrease the SGA size to 30-40% of RAM.
