Hello,

I am running long-time (~2,5h) warehouse data load-up scripts, and they crash always with the same error:
CREATE TABLE DIMENSIONS.TMP01_T
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel 


The table DIMENSIONS.TMP01_T is created using CREATE TABLE AS SELECT.... statement.

The table DIMENSIONS.TMP01_T actually gets created in the database (with ~3million records). The next statement is
CREATE INDEX index_name1  ON  DIMENSIONS.TMP01_T ( KOMISO_GAVEJAS_KEY ) TABLESPACE &INDEX_SPACE;

It does not get executed. I assume Oracle crash somewhere in the middle of these two.

The warehouse data load-up scripts are run using sqlplus utility on the server PC.

The error is received on productional database where Redo logs are running. On test database where no redo logs are running it was not possible to repeat the error.

I post so many various details because if i try searching info on ORA-03113, i find smth like:

Copied from: http://www.dba-oracle.com/m_ora_03113_end_of_file_on_communications_channel.htm
For example, ORA-3113 could be signaled for any of these scenarios:

- Server machine crashed
- Your server process was killed at O/S level
- Network problems
- Oracle internal errors / aborts on the server
- Client incorrectly handling multiple connections
- etc.. etc.. etc.. - a lot of possible causes !!


How do I know which scenario is my case?

So far I have stiked out :
- Server machine crashed (not possible, databse continues to operate);
- Network problems (not possible, scripts were executed on server PC);
- Client incorrectly handling multiple connections (not sure about that, but scripts use one connection only).

Here is also the core dump log:

In your case the most likely is:

Oracle internal errors

You should call Oracle support.

But you must have a CSI (Client Support Identifier).

You have several options:
- Ask for the responsible person at your company to raise a service request at metalink.oracle.com.

- go to www.oracle.com/support and select your country.

That would not be an option in my company. There isn't a single responsible person here (a fact regularly proven on a Friday night) Very Happy

Check the corresponding trace file in bdump for details. Also see the alert log.

select name, value from v$parameter where name = 'background_dump_dest';

select 'alert_' || value || '.log' from v$parameter where name = 'db_name';
