What found dead shared server error mean?

Please, I found the error found dead shared server in my alert.log file and I need to know what cause this error?
If it is critical?
What I should look up?

There is a known issue with using heterogenous services routine and MTS. Kuljeet is correct. Most probably you are hitting bug 3243584. You may have to check with oracle support on this!

Found dead shared server errors keep appearing

I'm on Windows Server 2003 64-bit SP2

found dead shared server 'S004', pid = (24, 10)
Any idea what is causing this? I can find no references on metalink about this.
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I'm on 11.1.0.6.0.
Note 310177.1 lists 4 bugs that have been fixed prior to 11.1.0.6.0
Note 4739114.8 list is a bug fixed in 11.1.0.6.0
And the ORA-600/ORA-7445 Troubleshooter on Metalink unfortunately does not bring up anything other than the bug docs fixed prior to 11.1.0.6.0 (nor has 11g support yet).
Has anyone else experienced this?

"found dead shared server ... " errors occured in oracle alert log

Dear all,
I have found a error message in my oracle alert log which is "found dead shared server 's000, pid=(10,1)'". What's this mean? and this error will casue a core dump in ../cdump directory.
btw. Thanks the answers of antti.koskinen and yingkuan.

one more thing, my server is not configured as shared server mode, it is dedicated server mode. but I don't know why system inform me "found dead shared server..".

APEX error: Found dead shared server

Hi,
I frequently encounter an error when working with APEX. If I submit any change to APEX, fi a change on some page item, APEX asks me to whether I'd like to save the wwv_flow_accept URL. I then get a file save dialog. This doesn't happen all the time, but something like 2 out of 10 times I submit something.
Looking at the database logs, I see an entry in alert.log with this information:

Hi,
I took a bit of time to dig deeper into this issue. I came to the conclusion that there is a bug in Oracle XE:
If you connect to Oracle XE database using the EPG path and if you create a report that gets its data over a database link, the shared server processes used to connect to the database break.
What I did to produce this error:
I installed Oracle XE Universal Edition on a Windows XP system
I then updated APEX to the latest version 3.2
At the database I simply created a database link pointing to the same schema the APEX-application is running at. I tested the database link.
I then produced a simple test application with just one Report (I also tried a PPR-report with the same result) that displays orders with a query in line with this:
<pre>
select o.order_id, i.order_item_id, i.quantity, p.product_name, i.unit_price, i.unit_price * i.quantity amount
from demo_orders@ckh o, demo_order_items@ckh i, demo_product_info@ckh p
where o.order_id = i.order_id
and i.product_id = p.product_id
order by o.order_id, i.order_item_id
</pre>
When I ran this application, I was sometimes able to see the report without an error, sometimes a shared server process broke. You can watch the processes breaking by opening the admin/bdump directory and see how the database writes trace files for the shared server processes.
Interesting to see is that the error happens not only when you try to see the report. If you hit the edit page link while running the page or if you submit the page definition with the link query in it, the same is likely to happen. You can see this error happening when APEX offers you to download the call to wwv_flow or the f-procedure. The contents of this download then is:
<pre>IBMPC/WIN_NT-8.1.0</pre>
with some binary information in front of the message.
Another bug I'd like to add came up when I was lucky to see the report with the PPR-template. I tried pagination but this wouldn't work. Looking into this, I found the following link:
<pre>
javascript:html_PPR_Report_Page(this,'R2060428410112776','javascript:$a_report('2060428410112776','16','15','15');')
</pre>
To my understanding this can't work at all if you look a the apostrophes. So how to proceed with this???
This to me is a severe problem, as I wanted to utilize APEX as a frontend for a production database to report the contents. I was informed by Varad that a way around this is to use an Apache access to Oracle XE but as far as I'm informed, this forces me into a licenced version in order to be able to run mod_plsql.
I read about the mod_owa-approach, but the programmers state that this is not compatible with APEX. So my question is: Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed with this?
Thanks,
Jürgen

Found dead shared server

every day i found this message in the db log :
"Tue Mar 29 22:21:08 2005
found dead shared server 'S000', pid = (10, 5)
Wed Mar 30 13:51:58 2005
found dead shared server 'S000', pid = (10, 6)"
what do it means ??
it is danger for the databse ???

mrashid07 wrote:
In /bdump oracle only provide this information---
found dead shared server 'S000', pid = (17, 49)
How can I find out these processes (17, 49) which made the dead lock event??? There's no evidence from this message that the process was terminated due to a dead lock event.
Oracle also does not terminate a dead lock process - it raises a deadlock exception, allowing the process to catch this exception and re-act on it.
When Oracle does terminate a process, it will be due to some kind of fatal error. In which case there will be an ORA-0600 or similar error message in the alert log, together with a trace file reference (or cdmp ref) that contains the technical details as to what happened.
Dead shared servers are usually caused by an external process (or user) explicitly issuing a command to terminate the shared server process. E.g. killing the shared process at o/s level (using the o/s CLI), or via Oracle using the "+alter system kill session+" command.
You have not shown any evidence yet to the contrary - so the only conclusion that can be made thus far is that Oracle is not an issue here, but application code and/or users are.

Hi,
Are you using MTS feature? If yes,
Then as given in the site:
http://searchoracle.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid41_gci1018471,00.html
major issue I have seen with MTS is the dispatcher process getting abruptly killed. For some unknown reason the dispatcher process all of a sudden dies, killing the connected sessions. The following is an extract from the alert.log file for one such error:
Wed Sep 8 09:07:35 2004
Errors in file /u01/bdump/abc_d050_521.trc:
ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [00000001026BA2D4] [SIGSEGV] [Address
not mapped to object] [0x000000018] [] []
Wed Sep 8 09:07:45 2004
found dead dispatcher 'D050', pid = (667, 207)
The dead dispatcher process is restarted once pmon cleans the in-doubt sessions. The workaround for this issue is to turn off the DCD (dead connection detection) feature. Set SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0 in sqlnet.ora file. This issue occurred in v9.2.0.4 and v9.2.0.5 and Oracle is currently working to resolve the same.
I think you are not using MTS feature, otherwise you would have received errors
like above & trace file would have been generated & error.ORA-07445
If you are not using MTS feature,
set the initialization parameter shared_servers = 0. also make sure that the parameter dispatcher is not set (it has no default) to anything.

Found dead shared server 'S002', pid = (12, 37)

Whats up with that ? I got a client running a utility (Tora) against a 9.2.0.1 database, and every 30 seconds he get's disconnected, and this appears in the alert log
"found dead shared server 'S002', pid = (12, 37)"
.. Mind that this exact setup has worked flawlessly for at least 2 weeks, just begun doing it today... Only other thing going on is a massive insert operation, for wich i've had to add tablespaces to make room for... Should i restart the db ? shouldnt be neccesary, right ?

I recommend you to read completely this chapter:
Configuring Shared Servers
Proper configuration of shared servers can result in significant performance improvement.
This chapter contains the following topic:
Introduction to Shared Server Performance
Configuring the Number of Shared Servers
Introduction to Shared Server Performance
Using shared servers enables you to reduce the number of processes and the amount of memory consumed on the server machine. Shared servers are beneficial for systems where there are many OLTP users performing intermittent transactions.
Using shared servers rather than dedicated servers is also generally better for systems that have a high connection rate to the database. With shared servers, when a connect request is received, a dispatcher is already available to handle concurrent connection requests. With dedicated servers, on the other hand, a connection-specific dedicated server is sequentially initialized for each connection request.
Performance of certain database features can improve when a shared server architecture is used, and performance of certain database features can degrade slightly when a shared server architecture is used. For example, a session can be prevented from migrating to another shared server while parallel execution is active.
A session can remain nonmigratable even after a request from the client has been processed, because not all the user information has been stored in the UGA. If a server were to process the request from the client, then the part of the user state that was not stored in the UGA would be inaccessible. To avoid this, individual shared servers often need to remain bound to a user session.
Configuring the Number of Shared Servers
When using some features, you may need to configure more shared servers, because some servers might be bound to sessions for an excessive amount of time.
This section discusses how to reduce contention for processes used by Oracle's architecture:
Identifying Contention Using the Dispatcher-Specific Views
Reducing Contention for Dispatcher Processes
Reducing Contention for Shared Servers
Determining the Optimal Number of Dispatchers and Shared Servers

What does 500 internal server error mean and how do i fix it???

When I try and update my Producteev app it keeps telling me that I have a 500 internal server error! What does that mean and how do I fix it! I recently had to have my logic board replaced and my mac is only 3.5months old! I thought this thing wasn't suppose to be giving me problems like this!!! Please help!!!

500 errors in the HTTP cycle
Any client (e.g. your Web browser or our CheckUpDown robot) goes through the following cycle when it communicates with the Web server:
Obtain an IP address from the IP name of the site (the site URL without the leading 'http://'). This lookup (conversion of IP name to IP address) is provided by domain name servers (DNSs).
Open an IP socket connection to that IP address.
Write an HTTP data stream through that socket.
Receive an HTTP data stream back from the Web server in response. This data stream contains status codes whose values are determined by the HTTP protocol. Parse this data stream for status codes and other useful information.
This error occurs in the final step above when the client receives an HTTP status code that it recognises as '500'. Frank Vipond. September 2010.
Fixing 500 errors - general
This error can only be resolved by fixes to the Web server software. It is not a client-side problem. It is up to the operators of the Web server site to locate and analyse the logs which should give further information about the error.
Fixing 500 errors - CheckUpDown
Please contact us (email preferred) whenever you encounter 500 errors on your CheckUpDown account. We then have to liaise with your ISP and the vendor of the Web server software so they can trace the exact reason for the error. Correcting the error may require recoding program logic for the Web server software, which could take some time.

How large is your listener.log? This error stack occurs, when listener.log has grown too large on the Windows platform. You have to delete and recreate the file, do this in regular intervals.
