PowerProtect Data Manager 19.12 Oracle RMAN User Guide
Troubleshooting an issue on AIX with ddbmcon process not exiting
On AIX, due to an Oracle OCI library issue, the ddbmcon process does not exit after completing all operations, which can cause different types of symptoms. The following symptoms can occur:
- The ddbmcon process has a child process.
- The process ID is 1 for the parent process of the ddbmcon process.
- The process ID is not 1 for the parent process of the ddbmcon process and the debug log shows that the ddbmcon process finished all operations. However, the ddbmcon process does not exit.
These symptoms are caused by the Oracle bug 34372439, "OCI APPLICATION LOADING DLLS DYNAMICALLY HANGS".
As a workaround, contact Oracle to obtain the latest patch.
