Symptoms

The following intermittent error messages are signaled by Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) 11g relative to a Data Server MYDB when executing a Session:

oracle.odi.jdbc.datasource.ConnectionTimeoutException: A login timeout occurred while connecting to the database

   or

java.sql.SQLException: IO Error: Socket read timed out

+ java.sql.SQLRecoverableException: IO Error: Socket read timed out

+ oracle.net.ns.NetException: Socket read timed out

The ODI processes fails with the two alternative error messages due to the JDBC driver not being able to successfully connect to the Oracle database on connection MYDB...

... or losing a previously established connection to the same Data Server.

Note the MYDB database alert file reports ORA-609, and "TNS-12637: Packet receive failed" errors, which are relevant to the ODI execution failures:
