Workaround question for "ORA-20001: Latest xml inventory is not loaded into table" error
Our account is running HP/UX Itanium Oracle Database Enterprise addition 19c. This past weekend, when we applied the Oracle 3rd Quarter patch to the database instances, we encountered an "ORA-20001: Latest xml inventory is not loaded into table" error. Upon further investigation, it was due to a "pipe read timeout". According to Oracle Document id 1602089.1, Solution for Symptom 23, the workaround is to add the following parameters to the init<instance name>.ora file, restart the database and run the datapatch.
*._bug27355984_xt_preproc_timeout=1000
*._enable_ptime_update_for_sys=TRUE
I did so, and the patch was able to be successfully applied to the database instance. My question is this. Can we keep these parameters in the init<instance name>.ora file or do they have to be removed and only used when this error is encountered?
