Raj, This reminds me of a similar situation I encountered several years ago, perhaps there will be something in it that will help... A 3rd party app was periodically committing only 2 of 3 changes that were required. The most likely explanation of the problem was that there was an unhandled exception and the app was issuing a commit regardless. This turned out to be the case. This also would explain your situation where the app fails, but the same command run manually works. If the debug mode of the app failed to reveal any new info, I was going to turn on events to dump out an error stack in case of an error on inserts. We put together a list of probable errors on an insert (privs, bad data, unable to extend, etc.) and could have placed these events in the init.ora. The syntax is "event = <error> trace name errorstack level 3" where error is the error number (1555 for Snapshot too old).
