Summary :
The SAP Note describes sporadic ORA-1575 errors and provides solutions. ORA-1575, indicative of a timeout while waiting for an ST enqueue during space management operations, often results from heavy demand scenarios or large database fragmentation. The SMON process generates these errors particularly during database clean-up activities. Solutions include reorganizing large, fragmented databases, modifying the default storage clause of tablespaces like PSAPTEMP, and disabling automatic space reorganisation using specific event parameters in the init.ora to address persistence of the issue. Manual coalescing of tablespaces is also an option.
