How to ix this ?

Many Thanks,

the main problem here is the "ORACLE error 3113"
(also called ORA-3113)
This means your program got disconnected from the database.
there might be many causes, first check the alert-log and any traces, escpecially for ORA-600 or ORA-7445
If there are no such errors you might have a problem on the network-layer.

Hi,
Lines from the alertlog and trc file.ORA-00601 ERROR

Cheers! Thanks

with this information you should contact Oracle Support.
after a short research I guess this is a bug,
but to be sure only Oracle Support can clarify this.

Do you use the latest patchset?
