Re: Warning - ignoring SIGALRM

Hi Yong,

But there should be relationship between OS signal mechanism and Oracle since Oracle calls setitimer() system call before waiting on a semaphore. Oracle process ignores SIGALRM signal when it receives it. is it the message in trace file whenever SIGALRM signal is received ?

regards..
