Just checking but you're not doing something along the lines of
begin
...
exception
when no_data_found then ....
when dup_val_on_index then ....
*when others then null;*
end;
Another thing you could do - particularly if the procedure is complex - is
to scatter several calls to a logger procedure in between the code. It
would look something like this:
create or replace procedure...
as
procedure log_msg (msg in varchar2)
is
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
insert into my_log_table (dt, text) values (sysdate, msg);
commit;
end;
begin
log_msg('Start procedure');
...
log_msg('Step 1');
...
log_msg('End procedure');
end;
/
This then gives you the ability to investigate when a user reports that the
procedure hasn't returned any data for him, based on the timestamp of when
it occurred.

William,
Thank you for taking out time and looking into this. You have all the
rights to be suspicious, after I have not shared the code and unfortunately
it is not possible for me to share the code.
The procedure has out parameters which are populated with error message
and code if there's any exception raised. The application ( Java ) logs
these into application log file. Whenever these problems are encountered we
do not see any error message logged.

Forgive me for being suspicious, but is the exception handler getting
called? Does it log anything? How does it return the error message? What
does the client app do with it?
I've seen a lot of exception handlers that looked as though they should
have worked but actually didn't.

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.
