RE: July PSU Issue

The password does not contain any special characters other than those allowed, so quotes are not needed. I can change other users to the same password, just not sys.

This is EE, not RAC, and using a password file.

Does the password being attempted contain any special characters? If yes, try enclosing the password in double quotes and see if the same error occurs or not?

Is the environment Standard Ed or EE? RAC or non-RAC? Password file in use or not?

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

Process ID: 15559

Session ID: 263 Serial number: 7056

In the alert log, I see:

ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [__intel_ssse3_rep_memcpy()+9660] [SIGSEGV] [ADDR:0x1C] [PC:0x6F3861C] [Address not mapped to object] []

I am trying to create an SR, but it keeps returning an error 504, so I can't get that done, either.

Has anyone run into this? Is there a fix or workaround? We have production patching scheduled for Saturday morning, so this is urgent.

This is 19c (19.12.0.0) on Red Hat 7.
