...no access to the machine. Yes, it's an applications environment. ...this would be why I'm not expected to get much of anywhere. ...I did find out that it was a form out of the fulfillment piece. I guess fulfillment ran some ridiculously huge job last night that ran for 12 hours. My *guess* is that it was a tmp space issue. ....why the consultants aren't able to confirm this is beyond me. ...it's not really my problem either, but I thought that I might try this list and see if it rung a bell with anyone. ...this is, after all, my secret weapon!!! :-) -----Original Message----- From: VICTORIA_PIERCE@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:VICTORIA_PIERCE@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 2:07 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx; oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Oracle forms error... Some questions: Is your disk full? Do you have write permissions to that directory? Have there been recent changes in your server environment? Is this error message from Oracle Applications?

Another shot in the dark... I know next to nothing about forms but have been asked to see if I can't find possible causes for the following error: FRM-41839 Disk I/O error temporary record buffer file /var/tmp/DAACUaqCL.TMP ...anyone have a clue. I don't have anymore info than that. ...and I'm not really expected to find much but google returned nothing and I'm having problems with Metastink. ...oh yeah...I don't know if any of you remember my post about weird 1-2-3 minute waits in our apps environment (that has been outsourced). The general consensus here was a locking issue. Well......after 1 MONTH of 2 of our call centers being down, and heavy involvement from some Oracle experts (from oracle), the problem was apparently caused by the way our outsourcer was cloning the environment. No specific cause has yet to be given. .........isn't outsourcing great! Thanks for any help chris
