Hi Ben,

In the past, I have just selected everything from v$session where the sql_id = the one of interest. If it is your ERP, it may set the module or action elements of the v$session structure and show you at least what may be causing it. The machine in v$session may also be different than your ERP application servers.

If it started out of the blue, I have also seen it be due to a recent patchset, or custom developer install, so I would check that also.
