Re: ORA-600 after July PSU apply -- production down.

Yeah. Oracle Support directed me to apply the 170814 PSU on top of the 170718 one. Sadly that did not remediate anything. I've rolled back to the April PSU now and everything is again working happily..

Definitely something wrong with the July/August PSUs - possibly due to ODA interference?

Thanks for all the suggestions. If I get a final explanation out of Oracle Support, I'll post it here :)

Cheers,

Tony
