SAP Note 583861 - UNIX: Errors due to Oracle executable

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/583861 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Various Oracle-related errors including "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel," "ORA-07497: cannot create trace file," and "ORA-12500: TNS:listener failure," indicate issues mainly associated with the connection to the database, parallel queries, and live database operations. These issues stem from incorrect or missing executable files in the Oracle $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. The resolution involves verifying and correcting the file presence, size, and permissions (specifically "-rwsr-s--x"), ensuring file ownership by ora and group dba, and potentially relinking the software using SAP Note 97953. Additionally, directory permissions should reflect "drwxr-xr-x," and attention should be paid to the file system’s support for the s-bit without setting NOSUID. Corrections might also require system tools like ipcs/ipcrm or a system reboot if shared memories are hanging or semaphores are misassigned.
