process suddenly blowing out temp tablespace
I'm coming at this problem as the DBA, not the PS guy.
Running PS Financials on Oracle database 11.2.0.4 Std. Ed. 64bit; Oracle Linux 5
A daily process ("voucher matching") is suddenly failing with ORA-1652: unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace TEMP .
This first occurred on 1 April. At that time the TEMP ts was set for max size of 10 gb. I increased the max to 20 gb, with a 5gb increment.
Job ran successfully for a few days, then on 10 April failed again, with the TS grown to 20gb. It is also interesting that I have a daily job to record the sizes of all temp and data files, and the file had not grown at all from the time I increased the max, until this failure 10 days later. At this point we're scratching our heads, but the job runs when restarted, so no panic.
