ORA-02056: 2PC: k2lcom: bad two-phase command number rdonly from coord

Hi all,

So, you found this error?

Well, I received this in a client environment. After checking MOS ORA-02056: 2PC: K2gCheckGlobalCommit: Bad Two-phase Command Number 1 From Coord (Doc ID 2498134.1), which points to a known issue when dealing with committing transactions as per Bug 22016049 I noticed my problem could be different…

My real root cause is my transaction being done on a remote object and when checking on remote database I found pending distributed transactions.

For more informations about distributed transactions, please check: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/ds_txns.htm#ADMIN12211

So, if you getting this situation, before planning and applying the patch I suggest you:

• Check if your process is not working on remote databases.
• Check for any possible distributed remote transactions.

How? Easy check (on remote db):

select * from dba_2pc_pending;

I hope it helps!

PS NOTE: I just found this very good and complete post by Rodrigo Mufalani on the same topic: ORA-01591: lock held by in-doubt distributed transaction

Have a look for an Action Plan!
Cheers!
