SAP Note 84348 - Oracle deadlocks, ORA-00060

Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the occurrence of ORA-00060 errors indicating deadlocks during resource waits, primarily attributed to application-level programming flaws rather than Oracle itself. The issue arises when parallel scripts attempt to lock numerous records within the same database block, leading to space allocation failures for additional locks. This situation transforms row-level locks into block-level locks, potentially leading to deadlocks if locks are not managed efficiently. A careful examination of Oracle trace files can pinpoint the direct causes and the specific locked objects contributing to the deadlock. Recommendations include inspecting and potentially increasing the INITRANS parameter values for tables and indexes to alleviate block-level lock contention and adjusting transaction concurrency settings.
