RE: How to reproduce an ORA-7445?

Probably not much point at all because they're always going to ask for it to be reproduced with tracing on and as a DBA that provides tech support myself, I usually find myself in the same position. It's often very difficult if not impossible to troubleshoot a problem that can't be reproduced and on top of that, there is the issue of triage - how much time are you going to spend working on a problem that can't even be reproduced when you've got 10 other fires to fight. If it can't be reproduced, then chances are it won't be a problem again anyway so your time would be better spent elsewhere. Of course, if it does end up recurring, hopefully the next time you will have a better idea of what to look for and compare with the first occurrence to see what the exact conditions were that caused the problem - and each time you will hopefully get closer to being able to reproduce it.

So what's the point of filing an SR unless the problem is 100% reproducible? I'm not trying to be sarcastic, just pragmatic.
