Hello all!
Last week I suddenly had several database connections being denied due “ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file”. This just a few hours a maintenance in this Database.
When investigating, realized there was TO MUCH traces like “$DBNAME_q00%.trc using several GBs.
As you know, those traces are from QMON (Queue Monitor) Background Process, usually related to Oracle Streams Advanced Queueing.
Oh! Also noticed that database was started with srvctl, as per usually recommended.
After some research I found MOS Note: ORA-00904 Reported by QMON When Starting Database With SRVCTL (Doc ID 1950142.1).
This situation seems to be a match to bug Bug 18680601/19995869. Regarding Doc:
– As solution, Oracle recommends apply merge of patches 19995869 and patch 18628216.
– As immediate action, the workaround is shutdown database and start with sqlplus instead of srvctl.
Check below one of my trace files to match to your situation.
Hope it helps.
Cheers!
