Barb, Every time I have run into this situation, I have used the following approach and it has always worked. I've never validated it in all cases, so take it with a grain of salt.
Redo is generated by block changes. Find the session that is generating the most # of block changes (v$sess_io.block_changes). Then trace back to the session info, sql, etc. Also check for tablespaces in hot backup mode. Daniel Barbara Baker wrote: > Hi, list.
