Env: 8.1.7 OPS, Solaris Job#100 is not running as scheduled(not even manually) because the job is locked by SID 10. I killed SID 10 yesterday but still the lock is not released. Also there is no OS process associated with this SID. SQL> SELECT sid, type, id1, id2 FROM v$lock WHERE type = 'JQ'; 2 3 SID TY ID1 ID2 ---------- -- ---------- ---------- 10 JQ 0 100 SQL> select sid,serial#,status,last_call_et,logon_time,process from v$session where sid=10; SID SERIAL# STATUS LAST_CALL_ET LOGON_TIME PROCESS ---------- ---------- -------- ------------ ----------------- --------- 10 163 KILLED 1203947 03/07/05 12:23:58 How to clear this lock, so that the job will run automatically as scheduled.
