Summary of Bugs Containing ORA-00600 [2662]

Bug 4453449
Abstract: Flashback to guaranteed restore point in orphan inc may result in ORA-600[3020]
Versions affected: 10.2.0.1
Fixed in versions: 10.2.0.2 & 11.0
Backportable: Yes

Symptoms:

The symptom of this bug include ORA-600[3020], ORA-600[2662] after flashback
database and ORA-600[flashback_validation] during flashback database.
There may also be other symptoms.

Details:
ORA-600[3020] / ORA-600 [2662] / ORA-600 [flashback_validation] can occur
after/during multiple flashback/recovery through multiple database resetlogs
without opening the database. There may also be other symptoms which appear as
recovery related corruption errors.
Workaround:
1. If you flashback a crashed primary database, follow flashback database with open
resetlogs. Alternatively, if you’d like to completely undo flashback database,
follow flashback database with recover database without shutting down the
instance first.
2. Restore backup and recover.
Patch details:
Currently there is no one-off patch available for any platform and versions.

Version affected : 10.2.0.X

Fixed in version : 11.0
Symptoms :
ORA-600[2662] after flashback database.

Bug 2998110
Abstract :ORA-600 [2662] LARGE QUERIES ON STANDBY WITH LOCALLY MANAGED TMP TBLSP
Version affected : 9.2.0.X 10.1.0.X
Fixed in version : 10.2
Symptoms :
The scn of the tempfiles is advanced but not on any other files
when the database is opened in read only mode.
Workaround :
1) Increase the sort_area_size to avoid sort on disk thus avoiding the use of the tempfiles
–OR–
2) After opening the database read only and BEFORE executing any queries
against the standby database, drop and recreate the tempfiles.
–OR–
3) If you are on 10.1 release you can set the following parameter:
_init_tempfile_on_open=TRUE
in your init.ora/spfile and bounce the database.
Setting this parameter will clear all tempfile bitmaps when the database is opened
so the database open may be take a little longer.
Patch details :
Currently there is no one-off patch available for any versions/platforms.
This bug is fixed in 10.2 and is not backportable to previous releases.
Note 356583.1 has been linked to this scenario.
Bug 3517013 (Unpublished)
Abstract :OPEN DB RESETLOG AFTER FLASHBACK DB FAILS ORA-600 [KCLCHKBLK_4], [1904]
Symptoms :
1) When restored the database from backup and did an incomplete recovery.
2) Opened the database with resetlogs.
3) After opening the database, you start getting following errors:
ORA-00600 [kclchkblk_4]
ORA-00600 [2662]
4) Stack trace is:- kclchkblk kcbzib kcbgcur ktfbhget ktftfcload
Cause :
1)
Error, ORA-600[KCLCHKBLK_4], is signaled because the SCN in a tempfile block
is too high. The same reason caused the ORA-600[2662]s in the alert logs.
2)
This issue is because the tempfiles may not get reinitialized during open
resetlogs.
Patch details :
Currently there is no one-off patch available for any versions/platforms.
Note 275902.1 has been linked to this scenario and solution
given under this note.

Many other bugs were filed with development for this issue.
Those bugs are not progressed due to
— Lack of response from the customers
— one-time occurances
— Vendor OS Problem
