Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

We are using the Weblogic 12.1.1with Oracle Agile 9.3.3. After applying the hot fix, when we try to start the application we received the below error message

Please upgrade your admin data schema to 9.3.385.2

From the error it is clear that the admin data schema needs to be upgrade. That means the hot fix have Database component and that needs to run after the hot fix.

I found a Database script i.e. oracle_933HF30.sql and applied to upgrade the admin data schema.

Now the application comes online without any issues.

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [510], [0xnnnnnnnn], [threshold alerts latch], [], []

We have found below error in alert.log for Oracle Database version 10.2.0.4

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [510], [0x060030070], [threshold alerts latch], [], [], [], [], [] 

We never saw this error before and the only change that we applied on the server is OEM agent installation.

During the troubleshooting I found that these errors might occur after adding alerts for threshold values on tablespaces and faulty threshold/alert causing the MMON process to fail at the moment the thresholds were checked.

Find thresholds defined on the database
SQL>select dbms_server_alert.view_thresholds from dual;

I found many thresholds in the database and I have cleared all unnecessary thresholds. After removing the thresholds I didn’t see the error in the alert.log, it looks like the issue has been fixed.

I found that this is a known bug 5727166 and fixed in 10.2.0.5 and 11.2.0.1 and affected Oracle versions are 10.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.7 and the issue.

Hope this helps.
