ORA-29861: domain index is marked LOADING/FAILED/UNUSABLE ctxsys.drvdml.auto_sync_index
I am running Oracle 11gR1 patchset 12 on Windows.
It is Standard Edition Oracle in a two node RAC configuration.
Every now and then I am getting an “ORA-29861” error and I can’t figure out why?
It happened again last night at a time when the system is the least encumbered, further I can say that there is no DDL taking place against any of my CTX indexes.
The table operation that caused this latest error was a simple update against a single table that has two Text indexes. One index is for an SYS.XMLTYPE column and it is set to sync every 15 minutes via “ctxsys.drvdml.auto_sync_index”.
