If you convert decimal to Hexadecimal to ASCII:
P1 is just a repeat of the lock information, reading IV, mode 5
P2 is supposed to be an object_id for the IV lock, but yours actually reads
"SYNC"
P3 = 3
Which node is the process running on ? The IV is supposed to synchronising
library cache invalidation across instances.
Perhaps P3 = 3 is a large-scale function, perhaps it's saying that this
instance is waiting for instance 3 (which might be 4 depending on whether
Oracle is counting from 0 or 1 in this case).
One guess: do you see SGA resizes at the time this is happening - perhaps one
instance starts resizing and locks up the other instances as it does so.

Subject: Wait Event - enq: IV - contention
Trying to troubleshoot a stuck program. The program gets stuck at a particular
wait event 1 out of every 8 runs on an average. When the program completes, it
finishes in few minutes. When it is stuck, the P1, P2 values are always the
same. Can you please tell what the P1, P2, P3 values represent.
Current Wait Event enq: IV - contention
Current Wait Class Other
P1 type|mode 1230372869
P2 id1 1398361667
P3 id2 3
Object None
They are not OBJECT_IDs.
Version: Oracle database 11.2.0.4
RAC Database, 4 nodes.
Thanks for your help.
