Jeffrey, As an idea - does orakill let you kill the thread off? This may let you "workaround" the issue without restarting the service.
Bruce Reardon -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, 7 June 2002 6:05 This has now happened on 3 separeate boxes. This has happened while putting on an Oracle Applications patch or in the last case, after starting the concurrent managers for 11i with a lot of requests scheduled to compile all of the flex fields. In every instance, the thread id does not match anything in oracle. We notice that box is using 50-100% cpu even though nothing is running. Stop concurrent managers. Terminate web sessions. Exit all sqlplus sessions. Use pslist from sysinternals.com and it shows a running thread of oracle.exe using lots of user and kernal time. This thread id is not shown in v$session/process!!!! Oracle has not been of much help to date. Even after doing a shutdown immediate, cpu is still high and thread is running. Have to stop the service to get rid of it all. We had been on 8.1.7.1.5 but upgraded to 8.1.7.3.2 since minimum for our Oracle Apps patches was 8.1.7.2.x just went to the latest and greatest since know eventually would be required. Has anyone else seen anything like this.
