APPLIES TO:
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 9.2.0.1 to 12.2.0.1 [Release 9.2 to 12.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
SYMPTOMS
The following error is occurring in the alert.log right before the database crashes.
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [4194], [#], [#], [], [], [], [], []
This error indicates that a mismatch has been detected between redo records and rollback (undo) records.
ARGUMENTS:
Since we are adding a new undo record to our undo block, we would expect that the new record number is equal to the
maximum record number in the undo block plus one. Before Oracle can add a new undo record to the undo block it validates
that this is correct. If this validation fails, then an ORA-600 [4194] will be triggered.
CHANGES
This issue generally occurs when there is a power outage or hardware failure that initially crashes the database. On startup, the
database does the normal roll forward (redo) and then rollback (undo), this is where the error is generated on the rollback.
CAUSE
Bug 8240762 Abstract: Undo corruptions with ORA-600 [4193]/ORA-600 [4194] or ORA-600 [4137] after SHRINK
Details:
Undo corruption may be caused after a shrink and the same undo block may be used
for two different transactions causing several internal errors like:
ORA-600 [4193] / ORA-600 [4194] for new transactions
ORA-600 [4137] for a transaction rollback
This Bug is
This is critical - we are looking for all undo segments to be offline - System will always be online.
If any are 'PARTLY AVAILABLE' or 'NEEDS RECOVERY' - Please open an issue with Oracle Support or update the current SR.
There are many options from this moment and Oracle Support Analyst can offer different solutions for the bad undo segments.
8. SQL>shutdown immediate;
10. Modify the spfile with the new undo tablespace name
SQL> Alter system set undo_tablespace = '<new tablespace created in step 6>' scope=spfile;
The reason we create a new undo tablespace first is to use new undo segment numbers that are higher then the current
segments being used. This way when a transaction goes to do block clean-out the reference to that undo segment does not
exist and continues with the block clean-out.
