Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> 7.3.2.3 Loading direct path and get ORA-3113 errors
Hey All,
I have a client who is running Sun Solaris 2.5 with a Oracle 7.3.2.3
database.
There seems to be an intermittent problem loading tables with SQL*Loader
in Direct Path mode. Sometimes it works, and sometimes we get an
ORA-3113 error which just means that we've disconnected from the
database somehow. The SQL*Loader job is being run from the server
machine itself. When I checked into this further, I found there is
always a new entry in the SQL*Net log which indicates the 3113 error was
caused by a TNS-12223 "Internal limit restriction exceeded". We don't
know which limit it means however. This is followed by a TNS-12540
error. These messages indicate there are too many concurrent TNS
connections and that we should try again later. The problem is that
there really are NOT many connections being made to the database at this
point in time, so I don't know why this is occurring.
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this situation. By the way, running the load in Conventional Path mode works fine ... just very, very slow.
Thanks for any information you might be able to share.
