Alarm level
Major.
Description
The connection that this database process was logged onto has been dropped during call processing. The database could be a local or remote database.
The disconnection may be a result of network congestion, the network going down, the remote machine going down, or other reasons. The negative number in the reason field is the ORACLE error code. (See the ORACLE RDBMS Error Messages and Codes Manual for further information about this error.)
The process will try to respawn and reconnect to the database. However, if the problem is the network or remote machine, the process may not be able to reconnect without manual intervention. The service running on the channel will not be able to make any database requests until the problem is resolved.
Sometimes when the remote database connections are dropped, the dedicated server process on the remote machine may be orphaned. If too many such orphaned processes exist, the ORACLE server on the remote machine will become overloaded with defunct processes. At this point, the machine may not be able to connect to the remote database successfully. If this is the case, you probably need to restart the remote database to remove the defunct server processes.
Repair procedure
If the system stopped to generate this message, the database process has logged onto the database successfully since the error message was recorded. No action needs to be taken. If the error message continues to be generated, follow the repair procedure for DB010.
