Instance crash?

Imagine these circumstances:
1. I make an update to one/multiple rows of a table, but do not commit
2. My instance crashes.
How does Oracle manage this? Please correct me if i am wrong
Below is what i have understood
1. SMON does the instance Recovery (Rolling Forward only) for below cases
     a)Uncommited transaction will be recovered if only dirty buffer is written to the datafile even not committed [ alter system checkpoint ]
     b)Uncommited transaction will be recovered if only Redo is generated or log switches occur, or the logs are archived [alter system switch
       logfile/alter system archive log current]
2. Uncommited transaction will be not be recovered if all above of these doesn't happen.Then SMON will do [ Rolling Forward + Rolling Backward ]

This is quite well explained here,

    thank you for so quick response.
    I don't understand what happened when the error appeared.
    The trace file is so difficult to read, I don't know what it want to show.
    Would you like to tell me what happened with simple language?

    Thanks for reply,
    My redo logs size is default 50mb.There is currently no load on the system since we are not using this environment for time being.The log switches are averaged to be 8 per day.I think Increasing the size of redo will further cause the problems since the archiver may again hold lock for more time.
    Since there is no dedicated connection between the nodes and storage ,So increasing the hardware and network configuration is only solution to this? Or I am still missing something...
    As far as configuration is considered i cannot add more resources to this environment.How can I solve this issue?

    Thanks for your answer....
    About it.. let me talk to you the following... I have experienced this crash in Windows XP in a development enviroment, and I think that in an enviroment more robust like Linux this problem woulbe be solved... but no... the same error with less frecuency but the same error...
    About Metalink... they told me....
    "...You should be able to log a bug with SUN. The JVM is a SUN product. From the error is looks like an issue with one
    of the JVM libraries. Once you submit the hs_err_pid28819.log file, SUN should b
    e able to search and find a match in there library regarding the issue...."
    But In SUN when I try to register the crash I read the following...
    " ...If the crash occurred while running a product developed by a company other than Sun, please report this issue to the vendor of that product. ..."
    So I don´t know what to do... Anybody HELP....

  • OC4J Instance crashes on Linux

    We have a standalone OC4J instance version 10.1.3.2 on Linux that we use to provide pdf print service for applications developed using APEX. Java version is 1.4.2. I have deployed the fop ear file to the instance, this is delivered with APEX. On several occasions, end users have reported that they can not open the pdf report. When I check the server, the OC4J instance is not running. There is nothing in the java logs or OC4J instance logs to indicate why the instance crashed. When I restart the OC4J instance, printing once again works. Has anyone else had stability problems with this product?
    Thanks,
    Don Morse

    Standalone OC4J runs quite stable on every platform.
    You should check the log files or the standard output (where you started OC4J). Also check the memory settings for the JDK. A common problem is that the JDK throws an OutOfMemoryException and won't respond anymore. You should also consider using JDK 1.5.0_x since it has a better memory management.
    If this doesn't help post the complete command line.

  • Database instance crashes when running expdp

    Hi,
    I have oracle 10.2.0.4 running on AIX.
    when i try to run expdp as below...
    expdp system/pwd directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR2 tables=TOAD_PLAN_TABLE dumpfile=test.dmp
    i get an error as..
    UDE-00008: operation generated ORACLE error 22303
    OCI-22303: type "SYS"."KU$_STATUS1020" not found
    and the database instance crashes.
    I tried increasing the shared_memory_pool, checking the read, write permissions on the directory. but every single time i run the expdp, the instance crashes.
    But when i try to run the exp for the same table, it runs fine.
    Can someone help me resolve this so i can use the expdp feature.
    Thanks.
    Philip.

    I could not find anything proper w.r.t the datapump failure.
    is there a package or something i need to install in the database for the expdp to work.
    or do i have to install any libraries for the datapump to work.
    Thanks.

  • Oracle instance crashed

    Oracle-Version: 9i R2 9.2.0.1.0.
    Hello !
    My oracle instance crashed and I found the following message in the log file :
    LGWR: terminating instance due to error 472
    Instance terminated by LGWR, pid = 1304
    I have not found any other messages and the ORA-00472 message says that the PMON process terminated with error.
    Did anybody have the same error ?
    I need to know why the instance crashed.
    I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
    Andreas

    The 472 is just the error issued when the Oracle background processes are signaled to terminate. It would appear log writer took an error and either notified the other background processes to terminate or it terminated and another backgroun process detected the problem, probably smon, and killed the rest of the system processes.
    Look in the bdump directory for the log writer trace file and see what it says. There may also be some entries in the alert log depending on exactly what happened.
    If the database fired back up without problem and the problem does not reoccur frequently then if might just be one of those things. However, if you can find the trace file and error messages for the problem cause then you should probably open an iTAR with Oracle support to find out he fix/work around.

    Unfortunately that's a very good question.
    As OPMN is in the picture here, the first step may be to enable debug logging for OPMN in the chance that it may give you more information about why it thinks the process crashed.
    Generally speaking, when OPMN is restarting a process, it can be because it recognized that a managed process has dissapeared (ie JVM core dumped, etc.) or it can also be because the JVM didn't respond to any of OPMNs requests to let it know it was still alive. In which case OPMN will kill then restart the managed process. This can be caused by situations where the JVM has run out of memory, etc. and becomes unresponsive, leading to it eventually being detected as such and restarted.
    What you can do is to add the OPMN PM submodule to the OPMN debug logger.
    <opmn xmlns="http://www.oracle.com/ias-instance">
    <log path="$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs\opmn.log" comp="internal;ons;pm" rotation-s
    ize="1500000"/>
    <debug path="$ORACLE_HOME\opmn\logs\opmn.dbg" comp="internal;pm;ons" rotation-size="1500000"/>
    </opmn>
    That should then produce an opmn.dbg file in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs directory. It'll be very verbose, so you'll need to associate the restart times from the other log file to locate the relevant section of the file. Hopefully that may shed some light on what is happening, at least at the restart level.
    Usually if there are runtime exceptions such as OOM errors, etc. then those are dumped to stderr/stdout. Check the contents of the other log files in the opmn/logs directory of the form default_group~home~default_group~1.log to see if there is anything obvious in there.
    There has been reports of an issue with PermGen space usage -- that could be something you are running into under the covers. Try resizing the permgen space to be a little larger and see if the problem goes away -- that can be done in opmn.xml in the java > start-options section of the instance in question.
    See how any of that goes!

  • Instance crash on RAC will impact goldengate extract process?

    Dear All,
    DB Version: 11.2.0.3
    GG version: 11.2.0.1
    Could you please let me know, how gg works when a instance crashes in a RAC cluster. Will extract proess get abend or extract will continue to capture
    Thank you very much in advance
    Regards
    Mvk

    If GG is configured properly for the RAC, the GG manager should start extract on the living node and there should not be any data loss.
    Please refer to Oracle documentation on how to configure GG in RAC.

  • Instance crash during backup

    What should I one do when instance crashes during user-managed hot backup?
    Bounce the instance?
    Message was edited by:

    What should I one do when instance crashes during user-managed hot backup? well, you can try this...
    When u started user managed backup, I assume that you put tablespace in backup mode...
    ALTER TABLESPACE tablespace_name BEGIN BACKUP;
    Now you use o/s copy commands to copy the associated datafiles.
    and if instance crashes during hot backup...then the backup u made till then would be useless.
    when u restart the Instance, it wouldn't open the database because the tablespace (all associated datafiles) would be in Backup mode (header SCN frozen; inconsistent with control file)....so all you need is to take the tablespace (associated datafiles) out of backup mode by....
    ALTER DATABASE END BACKUP; --all datafiles which were in backup mode will come out of this mode.
    or
    ALTEAR DATABASE DATAFILE datafile_name END BACKUP; -- to get individual datafile out of backup mode....
    (how to check which datafiles are in backup mode???
    use a view called V$DATAFILE_HEADER....the value of column FUZZY would be YES for the datafiles in backup mode...)
    Now start the instance and open the database
    I hope it would work fine...
    Cheers

  • Difference between Instance Crash and Database Crash in Standalone and RAC?

    Literally, database crash means that the database itself is damaged in some way. A disk is no more. Data files are corrupted. Etc. The database itself thus causes the crash - and a database crash will also cause all database instances (RAC or single) for that database to crash too.
    An instance crash will therefore mean that the crash occurs in the instance due to an Oracle bug or similar. In other words a s/w error and not a database error. The database is still "fine", but the instance not. Instance crashes. However, any other instance on that same (RAC) database will still be fine as the database itself is unaffected by that s/w error in the crashed instance.
    If you mean something different, please enlighten us. Not all crashes are equal. {noformat};-){noformat}

  • Rman instance crash and disappear

    I have an rman instance in oracle 9
    the instance crash and disappear suddenly.
    I need to recover it by restarting the rman instance again.
    There is no any information in the log like alert log as I search
    before already.No any log information certainly.
    How can I set trace or debug for this instance
    So , next time ,it crash again ,I can have information to pass to support ??
    Any advice

    Any adviceWhat does it mean by "rman instance"? I believe you mean that your db got crashed and is terminated. If so, did you check for any process crash or something like that? If there is nothing reported in the alert log, I don't think that its possible that anyone over here would be able to tell why your instance got crashed? I can't think of anything that you can enable on the instance for this in a proactive manner. So just restart and see if it happens again.
