Stefan,

Thanks for your time, I have checked the code and the exception handler
returns error message to calling environment, so it is not the case here.

Is there perhaps an exception handler involved that suppresses an error
raised when the procedure is called ?

Dear Experts,

Missed to mention the procedure is being called from Java.

Please suggest ways to zero to down on what could be causing this issue.

Thank you for your time and help on this.

Dear Experts,

one of the project teams is facing an issue, refcursor being returned
from database intermittently returns no rows when it should.

The error is not reproducible at will and happens infrequently,
sometimes we do not hit the problem for months, but at times it happens 3-4
times a day and things are back to normal after these failures. When it
starts to fail the team has to manually trigger the process to ensure it
completes, the procedure is part of batch job which returns few rows on
which another application acts.

The out variable sys_refcursor is having nocopy, this should not have
been used and I have already requested the team to remove nocopy.

I have requested the team to enable trace only on the query using below
method.

alter system set events
'
sql_trace[SQL: &m_sql_id ]
plan_stat=all_executions,
wait=true,
bind=true
'


I would like to hear if anyone has faced such an issue and is there any
method to trace and resolve the issue. The team is still on Oracle Database
release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64 bit on AIX.

Thanking you all for your time and help on this.

Regards,
Vijay Sehgal.
