Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Temporary tablespace near 100% full, smon is not freeing up, Oracle 7.3.4.5 ----> URGENT
Dear all
on one of your most important oracle instance (with many surrounding instances), the temporary tablespace TEMPSORT01 got 100% full every month. SMON is not freeing it, the only solution was to restart the DB.
Today, the same situation, but it's the end of the day and we have time to do some analysis to get the cause of the problem. also, the users are aible to work at the moment at the usual performance. the aim is to free the temporary tablespace without restarting the whole instance.
In Metalink note 40758.1 there is a script to free the temp-tablespaces described, but this note is not accessible for me. Maybe someone can send it to me via mail or has a similar script for forcing smon in Oracle 7.3.4.5?
Please study the sqlquery and their output below - please contact me when you would like more scripts to be run.
Thanks a lot for your help!
