SAP Note 365481 - Block corruptions

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/365481 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When encountering corrupt blocks with Oracle error messages such as ORA-01578 or ORA-00600, it can typically stem from underlying hardware or system issues rather than Oracle itself. Corruption typically cannot be fixed via Restore/Recovery methods, implying the need for alternative resolutions such as index recreation, particularly under 'nologging' conditions in BW systems. SAP Note 547464 and FAQ Note 540463 provide additional guidance on managing such corruptions, recommending full database checks per Note 23345, ensuring hardware integrity, and detailed documentation of remediation steps. Techniques involve identifying corrupt blocks, replacing files, or reorganizing tablespaces using tools like brspace.
