Last updated on MARCH 31, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle Net Services - Version 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2 [Release 11.2 to 12.1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When running several SQL*Loader jobs on 11.2.0.4 or higher, you notice that sometimes one of the jobs fails with following errors:

Record 592545: Rejected - Error on table MY_TAB.
ORA-12592: TNS: Bad Packet

SQL*Loader-604: Error occurred on an attempt to commit
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
Process ID: 16057148
Session ID: 3541 Serial number: 47955

SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
Specify SKIP=xx when continuing the load.


The alert logfile shows the following error:

...

The errors are occasional: if the load is re-run then it is likely that the sqlldr job now succeeds without errors.

Other possible errors:

ORA-25408: can not safely replay call
ORA-25402: transaction must roll back
ORA-12152: TNS:unable to send break message
ORA-12592  TNS: Bad Packet
