Solaris 10
Oracle 10.2.0.3
RAC, 2 node
So, a non-privileged user (not sys, system, et alia) does secure shell to
the database and attempts to invoke sqlplus. The user supplies the correct
password and expects to see the sql prompt, the banner information, and
whatever environment has been set up for him.
(The user can attempt this from a regular client with the same results)
Instead, the user sees no activity on his terminal ...
<START SCREEN SIMULATION>
$sqlplus dba_jim
PASSWORD:
<END SCREEN SIMULATION>
Troubleshooting as reported by the other DBAs on the team. They include
rebuild the catalog and other basic activities (not immediately available to
me for this email).
We log in to the server as sys or system (as sysdba) and look at the
V$SESSION view. We see the session(s) for the user. Further, we look at
the V$PROCESS view and realize that there is no process associated with that
session!
Servers are DEDICATED (vice SHARED)
An SR has been filed. The system is in late development stages and
prototypes have been circulated about the user community. Anxiety mounts
and we cannot figure out why user sessions do not begin correctly.
Has anyone seen anything like this? We could sure use the help
Fond regards,
Gus
