Hi, all
I'm working in Oracle 7.3.4 on Digital Unix 4.0.d. Hardware is AlphaServer
4100, 1 CPU 400 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 2 GB swap.
In a last few days we have a problem with the machine.
The main database processes are fine, but we have a lot of spawned processes
AFAIK, for every client connection, listener spawns one process "oracleedns" to handle the request. Most of those processes run fine, but some of them go "hay-wire". We cannot pinpoint the problem, different users, different parts of application run into this. And not all of them.
Those runaway processes leave large user-dump tracefiles ~100 MB, as oposed to ~10 kB for usual dumps. Naturally, it clogs up the disk.
Could someone sugest how to audit this problem and find a solution?
TYIA,
Bane.
