More information...

There was a package (call it "P") re-installed at 4:29pm.  There was a 
long-running (4hr) process ( call it "S1" ) running at that time that uses that 
package.  Should that have prevented us from installing a new version of the 
package?  It doesn't seem to have.

Then, other processes (call it "S2") - started after 4:29pm and that refer to 
"P" -- all seemed to start waiting indefinitely for the long-running process 
"S1".

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Matt

Subject: DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY library cache pin waits

Hi,

I have been asked what a process on Monday (2/24) timed out.

Going to DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY, I can see that the process in question 
spent all its time waiting for a library cache pin.

I can see a lot written on how to get more information about current library 
cache pin waits.  But does anyone know how to find out more about a library 
cache pin wait showing up only in ASH?

Thanks in advance!

Matt
