ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kttuser0()+272] [SIGFPE] [Integer divide by zero] [0x8949718] [] []

Posted by Sriram Sanka on February 18, 2013


Today, we were encountered with this internal error on One of our test environment.

On Our Database ,we have 2 temporary table-spaces with a Temporary table space group.
While we are performing Data pump Import (IMPDP) into another machine , The job was failed multiple times with following error on screen ….
Screen Error :

Processing object type DATABASE_EXPORT/SCHEMA/TYPE/TYPE_SPEC
ORA-39014: One or more workers have prematurely exited.
ORA-39029: worker 1 with process name “DW01” prematurely terminated
ORA-31672: Worker process DW01 died unexpectedly.

When I verified for the cause, on alert log,  found an Internal error only after Temporary tablespace creation ..

Alert log Content :

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE “TEMP_TWO” TEMPFILE ‘/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/*****/temp02.dbf’SIZE 844103680 AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 8192 MAXSIZE 32767M TABLESPACE GROUP TBS_GROUP EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1048576

Thread 1 advanced to log sequence 47 (LGWR switch)

Current log# 2 seq# 47 mem# 0: /u01/app/oracle/*****/*****/redo02.log

Sun Feb 17 13:18:32 PST 2013
Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/******/admin/******/bdump/*****_dw01_24538.trc:

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [kttuser0()+272] [SIGFPE] [Integer divide by zero] [0x8949718] [] []

Creating the temp tablespaces manually before IMPDP process will avoid such errors.

ORA-27102: out of memory” While Creating a Database

Posted by Sriram Sanka on September 24, 2012


Today ,While Installing Oracle V 10g Using DBCA On a 32 bit Linux machine with 16 GB of RAM,(allocated 5GB as SGA ) We were encountered with this Error and unable to go further.

[oracle@db ~]$ oerr ORA 27102
27102, 00000, “out of memory”
// *Cause: Out of memory
// *Action: Consult the trace file for details
[oracle@db ~]$

 

This is Because of  On 32 Bit version,It cannot allocate more than 4 GB of Memory  to a process Directly.For this either we need to upgrade to 64 bit and start the Installation or decrease the Memory total value.

So we decreased the total memory size to 2.5 GB and It went successful without any issues.

Read Oracle Meta link Document ID 430492.1  to get  More Information on this.

 

Happy reading 😉

Posted by Sriram Sanka on January 11, 2012


Recently we upgraded Our Development Database  from Oracle V10.2.0.1 to V10.2.0.5.
Today While I was  Compiling an Invalid procedure,

ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [ph2_cly out of
bounds in PH2POP.], [0], [1240], [], [], [], [], []
Encountered.

No clues available On “alert-log” file.
Verified with Oracle Support about it and found that its a Bug{Bug 10400244} on 10.2.0.5.
Oracle Meta-link Document [ID 1358114.1] Will give some clues about it.
Fixing errors other than this Internal error will resolved this issue.

“racgmain” Processes

Posted by Sriram Sanka on October 3, 2011


Some good Experience for Me today.Early in the Morning ……

One of Our RAC node  filled up with 100% CPU usage.As part of Investigation We found that this was because of  racgmain  Process.

It was filled-up with more than 250 racgmain process which are consuming  CPU a lot.Due this Our System got Very slow.

To avoid this, we should apply latest patch which is > 10.2.0.5 and CRS patch too.There was a temporary workaround for this ..you can see that in Metalink Doc ID 732086.1 and ID 6196746.8
