We ran into the same issue (10.2.0.1) and support referred us to this note (284602.1). The note documents two solutions. We implemented solution one (rename ons.config), but the problem re-occurred 2 months later. Then we were told to implement both solutions. This was about 3 weeks ago, so we will wait and see if it occurs again.
