Last updated on FEBRUARY 01, 2022

Applies to:

Oracle Application Object Library - Version 11.5.9 to 11.5.10.2 [Release 11.5]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

 Running patch advisor (submitted request is AnalyzeSpecificPatches) from Oracle Applications Manager creates a java process Java_java_io_UnixFileSystem_delete which deletes the entire file system and hence completely destroying the instance. Everything under $APPL_TOP gets deleted and hence the entire system is lost.

The command $ strings -a core.22462 |grep Unix gives the following output:


aJava_java_io_UnixFileSystem_delete
Java_java_io_UnixFileSystem_delete
java/lang/StJava_java_io_UnixFileSystem_delete
