I upgraded an Oracle RAC database from 12c to 19c. After a while, I identified that some jobs were having problems running. Therefore, I investigated and found out about the new default feature on the 19c client database that requires tests if Out of Bound breaks are allowed. Thus. Follow below the steps to handle this:
The first step was to check the alert.log, and the errors messages were as below:
opiodr aborting process unknown ospid (10883) as a result of ORA-609 2022-03-18T11:48:53.500198+01:00 …. ORA-00609: could not attach to incoming connection ORA-12637: Packet receive failed
I have also checked traces to understand more about the error, and this is what looked like:
…. Redo thread mounted by this instance: 1 Oracle process number: 89 Unix process pid: 10942, image: oracle@techdatabase1 *** 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167564+01:00 *** CLIENT ID:() 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167591+01:00 *** SERVICE NAME:() 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167600+01:00 *** MODULE NAME:() 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167608+01:00 *** ACTION NAME:() 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167615+01:00 *** CLIENT DRIVER:() 2022-03-18T11:49:06.167623+01:00 opiino: Attach failed due to ORA-12637
From now, you have two solutions: one that requires a network specialist and another that you can use as a workaround. The one that requires a network specialist is to contact them to solve the underlying network’s inability to handle Out of Bound packets. On the other hand, the other solution is DISABLE_OOB=ON in the SQLNET.ORA on the server and this solution follows below:
[oracle@techdatabasket admin]$ cat sqlnet.ora DISABLE_OOB=ON
