Hi,

While doing a split partition operation, an exception with error code ORA-29489 ( error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXSPLITPARTITION routine) was logged. The sequence of steps is given below. As seen from the below sequence, in Step 4, an ORA-29489 error was logged in our exception table. Unfortunately there is no real time monitoring and we noticed this error only after a couple of days. Googling for more info about this error states that the action item is to verify if the routine has been coded properly and there is no additional info. Has any one encountered this error ? Is there a way to find out why this happened and what needs to be done to prevent it from happening again. Any pointers would be really helpful.

Note: However when the same step i.e Step 4 was re-run, it ran successfully.


--Step 1 Create table
CREATE TABLE test
(project_id number, project_name varchar2(1000), event_text clob, accum_text clob)
PARTITION BY RANGE (project_id)
(PARTITION pmax VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));

--Step 2 create preferences for context search
begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference ('skipJoinLexer1', 'BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('skipJoinLexer1', 'skipjoins', ';:.,()<>*"''#-');
ctx_ddl.create_preference ('TextDS', 'MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TextDS', 'COLUMNS', 'EVENT_TEXT, ACCUM_TEXT');

END;

--Step 3 create local domain indexe

create index TEST_IDX on test (event_text) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('lexer skipJoinLexer1 datastore TextDS') LOCAL;


--Step 4 - Failed Step
ALTER TABLE test split PARTITION pmax AT (2) INTO ( PARTITION p_1, PARTITION pmax)


Thanks,
Vijay

I don't know why you have this error but it seems logical to me to create the index AFTER splitting the partition or drop/make unusable the index (partition), split the partition and recreate/rebuild the index (partitions).

I am unable to reproduce the problem, even with adding some data, as shown below. Can you post a reproducible test case or a run of the code that you posted that shows that it errors on your system?

Thanks for your replies. The issue is we are unable to reproduce the error again in spite of multiple attempts Sad. As I mentioned in the original post, the same split partition operation that failed worked when it was done the next time. That is why was trying to get some "generic" pointers to see what could have caused this error

"I don't know why you have this error but it seems logical to me to create the index AFTER splitting the partition or drop/make unusable the index (partition), split the partition and recreate/rebuild the index (partitions)."

a. We cannot create the index after splitting the partition because creation of partitions is not a one step process in our application. For every record that is put into a Master table, we have to creation partitions in our Test table.

b. I tried the way you suggested . I made the main partition to be unusable and then split it . After split I noticed both the partitioned indexes i.e the main partition and the local index have been marked as usable even though I did not explicitly rebuild local indexes !!.

c. Also, can you please explain on why this is logical i.e we have to make the partition unusable, split it and then rebuild it.

--Step 1 - Create the table

CREATE TABLE test
(project_id number, project_name varchar2(1000), event_text clob, accum_text clob)
PARTITION BY RANGE (project_id)
(PARTITION pmax VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));

-- Step 2 create index ( Am skipping the lexer creation and data store steps)
create index TEST_IDX on test (event_text) indextype is ctxsys.context parameters ('lexer skipJoinLexer1 datastore TextDS') LOCAL;

--Step 3 - Made the main partition unusable

alter index test_idx modify partition pmax unusable;


--Step 4 - Splitting the partition

ALTER TABLE test split PARTITION pmax AT (2) INTO ( PARTITION p_1, PARTITION pmax)

--Step 5 -- Both indexes have been marked as usable!!!
select * from user_ind_partitions where index_name = 'TEST_IDX'
