[b]desc table_name gets ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel[/b]

My installation running on Windows 2000 Oracle9i. When issue desc table_name i get ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel. I have set processes = 300 in parameter file.

The ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error is a generic error. The ORA-03113 error when connecting suggests that the connection was established, but lost later, like a timeout.
There are many possible causes for the ORA-03113 error. See MetaLink Note:17613.1 "ORA-03113":
For example, ORA-3113 could be signaled for any of these scenarios:
- Server machine crashed
- Your server process was killed at O/S level
- Network problems
- Oracle internal errors / aborts on the server
- Client incorrectly handling multiple connections
- etc.. etc.. etc.. - a lot of possible causes !!
It goes on to note that the ORA-03113 End-Of-File error often has additional messages:
It is common for this error to be accompanied by other errors such as:
- ORA-1041 internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
- ORA-3114 not connected to ORACLE
- ORA-1012 not logged on
To find more details, check for a trace file in your USER_DUMP_DEST and BACKGROUND_DMP_DEST directory.
Hope this helps . . .

  • Getting ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel error

    Hi,
    We are getting the following error while calling a Oracle stored Procedure from .NET interface.
    Getting ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel Process ID: 28954 Session ID: 466 Serial number: 9280
    Actually, The other procedures doesn't have this issue. We are witnessing this error only when we call a specific procedure which returns a data cursor. We have checked for any DBLINK involvement but couldn't find any. Please help us here to resolve this issue. Please let me know if you need any information further.

    end-of-file on communication channel
    Cause: The connection between Client and Server process was broken.
    Action: There was a communication error that requires further investigation. First, check for network problems and review the SQL*Net setup. Also, look in the alert.log file for any errors. Finally, test to see whether the server process is dead and whether a trace file was generated at failure time.

  • ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel while running utlrp.sql

    Hi All,
    I am getting ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel while running utlrp.sql.
    Actually I ran utlrp.sql before in my test database and terminated the session in middle after that when ever I am running utlrp.sql i am getting the above error.
    how to resolve the issue.
    Kiran

    Hi,
    Check as follows;
    select owner,object_name,object_type from dba_objects where object_name like
    'UTL%'The objects should only belong to SYS, if they do belong do some other user (example HR, etc). Drop objects belong to other users (not sys).
    Then connect as sys as sysdba and rerun the script utlrp.sql.
    You can also review Oracle Metalink Document: ORA-03113 Error When Executing Utlrp.sql: Doc ID: Note:413922.1

  • ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel ERROR

    After applying Database patch 3095277 to my 9.2.0.1.0 installation
    in order to update it to 9.2.0.4.0,I'm getting ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    ERRORS when attempting various tasks. This is a local installation running on a Windows XP Workstation.
    I've even tried creating a new test database but the result is the same.
    The reason for moving up to 9.2.0.4.0 is so I can start using Advanced Queuing, which I understand had problems in earlier releases.
    However before the update I could at least create the JMS queue tables without ERROR whereas now I get the following errors when attempting to create a queue table in SQL Plus from within Enterprise Manager Console.

    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
    I would be grateful of any pointers as to how to resolve this problem.
    Regards
    Gary.

    Chris, Thanks for the suggestion,
    I took a look in the trace log and found the following entries that point to a ORA-00600 as you mentioned earlier.
    This is only a test database so there's no great loss if
    I have to re create it, but in saying that I did create a new test02 from scratch and had the same problem.
    Is it posible something went wrong when applying the 9.2.0.4.0 patch ?.
    Regards
    Gary.

  • Convrtd to Invterval Part- ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

    Hi all,
    I had a table as Interval Partitioned. In order to create XML- Xpath indexes on it, I converted it to Range Partitioned table.
    I am able to create the XPATH indexes but I get the error: ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    - When I revert the code to Interval Partitioned without the XMLIndex, it works fine(although takes time as no XML Index)
    - When I convert table to non partitioned table, create the XML Index, it works fine.
    But I need the partitons, so when I create the partitioned table I get the error.
    CREATE TABLE INT_PART_TABLE
    DB_ID VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
    xML_mESSAGE SYS.XMLTYPE,
    LOAD_TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP(6)
    XMLTYPE xML_mESSAGE STORE AS BINARY XML
    PARTITION BY RANGE (LOAD_TIMESTAMP)
    PARTITION MAX VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2013-06-01 00:00:00')

    NOCACHE
    ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
    BEGIN

    END;

    end;
    create index INDX_XPATHS on "INT_PART_TABLE" (XML_MESSAGE) indextype is xdb.xmlindex
    parameters ('PARAM Indx_Par') local;
    Now if I execute the following statement in
    SELECT T.xML_mESSAGE
    FROM INT_PART_TABLE1 T
    WHERE XMLEXISTS (
    declare namespace abc="ABCD";
    declare namespacedef="DEFG";
    declare namespace xyz="XYZA";
    let $tt as xs:boolean := fn:exists($p/main/id = ("144283","9085802")])
    return if ($tt) then true()
    else ()'
    PASSING T.xML_mESSAGE AS "p");
    - Is there any other way of writing this Select statement, which may work?
    - Any other thing I need to take care of when defining the table and partitions script so that I don't get this error?

    Hi,
    I think it's time you give a clear (and working) test case so that we can safely try to reproduce the issue.
    What you've given so far has syntax error and name mismatch.
    So please :
    - database version (SELECT * FROM v$version)
    - complete sequence of DLLs
    - some sample XML documents (it doesn't have to be the real ones, but at least something realistic)
    Thanks in advance.
    declare namespace abc="ABCD";
    declare namespacedef="DEFG";
    declare namespace xyz="XYZA";
    let $tt as xs:boolean := fn:exists($p/main/id = ("144283","9085802")])
    return if ($tt) then true()
    else ()'Why all that stuff? You don't have to return a boolean.

    I would start by compareing the explain plan of both versions of the statement.
    Also by adding such a restriction you might change from an uncorrelated subquery to a correlated subquery. I'm not sure, because your code is hardly readably without formatting.
    In any case you seem to select again and again from the same table. Maybe you should find a way to optimize to query in terms of io (less table access). Then this problem could go away.

    We checked on the DB and the Oracle session that was doing the insert was open even after the extract failed with the above error.
    Any idea what could be causing this??
    Thanks

    Did you actually read the alert-log ??
    The problem is clear in there. Your datafiles are corrupted!!!
    While the database is trying to correct these, a lot of ORA-00600 and ORA-07445's are generated.
    Consult Oracle Support to get this resolved

  • Java Stored Proc - ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

    Help with error please.
    Running java stored procedure and getting
    end-of-file error. This error occurs after successful connection established.
    Simple function returns a java.util.String that is a coded version of the DATE parameter. Procedure does not use a connection object.
    Error message and description list below.
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    Cause: An unexpected end-of-file was processed on the communication channel. The problem could not be handled by the Net8, two task, software. This message could occur if the shadow two-task process associated with a Net8 connect has terminated abnormally, or if there is a physical failure of the interprocess communication vehicle, that is, the network or server machine went down.
    Action: If this message occurs during a connection attempt, check the setup files for the appropriate Net8 driver and confirm Net8 software is correctly installed on the server. If the message occurs after a connection is well established, and the error is not due to a physical failure, check if a trace file was generated on the server at failure time. Existence of a trace file may suggest an Oracle internal error that requires the assistance of customer support.
    I am currently looking into the trace file as suggested.
    Thanks

    I'm not 100% sure, but I'd suggest you to open SR in metalink. And send these trace files them for analyze

  • Simple Spatial Query caused ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

    I try to run a simple spatial query to find the ID's which inside the specified circle
    select n.ID,n.FEATURE_ID
    from NC_MANGROVE n
    where sdo_relate(n.shape,
         mdsys.sdo_geometry(2003,null,null,
         mdsys.sdo_elem_info_array(1,1003,4),
         mdsys.sdo_ordinate_array(848948,834940,848908,834980,848908,834900)),
         'mask=ANYINTERACT querytype=WINDOW')='TRUE';
    but it end up of ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    Then I try another query, which I think do the similar thing
    select n.ID,n.FEATURE_ID
    from NC_MANGROVE n
    where sdo_within_distance(n.shape,
         mdsys.sdo_geometry(2001,null,mdsys.sdo_point_type(848908,834900,null),null,null),
         'distance=40')='TRUE';
    but same error occurs.
    Is it the SQL*net configure problem. I am using Oracle 8.1.7 for both client and server.
    Please help
    Tommy

    Does SDO_FILETER Queries work fine? If so there is already reported bug and patch for that on Metalink site. Get all the patches for 8.17 spatial and install those.

  • ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel, Please help

    hello Seniors,
    i have strange situation, facing it for the first time.
    i m/s detail form and i am entering data. i successfully saved few records.
    i completed entering one more record and for a reason i left it unsaved.
    after lets say may be a minute or so, i got back to work and then tried to save the unsaved record
    displayed on screen. when i pressed save button i got error;
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
    leaving the form as is with this error displayed, i notice that i can very well use the db at server level
    by running other sqls, meaning other resources are functioning. even i tried to open the same application again
    leaving the erroneous form as is, and tried to enter in another form , it communicated well and saved without any errors.
    also there is one more errro along with this, when i query; says "Unable to perform query"
    ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
    and when exit the current form it quits the entire application and kills that particular session,
    but the db is still up and running with no errors.
    The Tnsping <hostname> is responding.
    i want to know while entring on a form, is there any time-out limit between the entry and saving point?
    or any other solution please help. vm thankful.

    i was testing entering into different forms of my application.
    what i notice that this problem persist with just one form i.e. my purchase order header-details form.
    whats happening is, it allows just the first or rather 1 record (incase if are in a query mode and select create record),
    saving the next or IInd record returns this error. God knows why..?
    can you please suggest any debugging technique to catch the theif?
    i have WNFI, POSt-FORM-COMMIT, KEY-COMMIT, PRE-COMMIT, PRE-FORM at form level
    at heade block i have ;
    PRE-INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE, PRE-RECORD,POST-QUERY, KEY-ENTQRY, ON-POPULTE-DET
    at detail blcok i have;
    PRE-INSERT,UPDATE,PRE-RECORD,POST-QUERY,WHEN-REMOVE-RECORD.
    sqlnet.ora, i have at 4 different dir;
    C:\orant\NET80\ADMIN & C:\orant\NET80\ADMIN\SAMPLE AND
    C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN & C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\SAMPLE
    I am not so good with Dba interface, so please suggest me which particular file should refer and
    where & what exactly should i look for..? as the file contains a comrehensive entries.
    thankyou once again.
