HI,

We have our production system running on Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.10).

We restarted our DB on Aug 14 2014. We notice that the no.of Process (in v$process and in OS) has gradually getting increased.

Today we noticed that the v$session has around 190 rows where as v$process has around 740 rows. In v$session there are ACTIVE , INACTIVE and SNIPED sessions.

We also noticed that there OS process owned by the Oracle user is around 740 which matches the v$process.

We have implemented DCD and want to know why Oracle has not done the cleanup of the process (in v$process and in OS).

Howdy, Stranger!
