The problem
In the middle of one day on one RAC database (3 nodes), "sb" procedure had output like:SQL> @sb Oracle version: 10.1.0.4.0 (10.1.0.4.0) Blocker Inst SID Serial [sec] Lock Type Module ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.

SQL>Previously mentioned DBA, was using mine solution for a long time without any problems and like in many situation before, submit a job like it was advised.
After some time when he checked blockers with "sb" procedure again, he was astonished that procedure produce the same output like before-like nothing happened. Without thinking why, he submit job again ... and later once again and after third submit that results no "unblocking", he came to me and ask for help.
The analyze part
Like in many situation like this, checking instance alert log file (this is RAC database) is the first step that DBA should do. It's content has at the end entries like:ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job 1241 ORA-00030: User session ID does not exist. ORA-06512: at line 1Checking of dba_jobs shows me that 2 jobs are trying to execute again and again to perform "kill session" for the session that doesn't exist!
Logical question was "How session doesn't exist if "sb" is still showing it? "
After checking, answer was very easy-because of bug in it's logic!
If you look in code of "sb" procedure, you'll find this part in definition of blocking session:
CURSOR c_w IS SELECT gvw.sid waiter_sid, gvw.inst_id waiter_inst_id FROM gv$lock gvb, gv$lock gvw, gv$session gvs WHERE (gvb.id1, gvb.id2) in ( SELECT id1, id2 FROM gv$lock WHERE request=0 INTERSECT SELECT id1, id2 FROM gv$lock WHERE lmode=0 ) AND gvb.id1=gvw.id1 AND gvb.id2=gvw.id2 AND gvb.request=0 AND gvw.lmode=0 AND gvb.sid=gvs.sid AND gvb.inst_id=gvs.inst_id ORDER BY gvb.CTIME desc ;All looks OK (and in fact it is!!) but in some real cases, like this one was, it was not properly used. Later in code I loop through that cursor without checking status column (that I do not have at all!) of that session and shows all sessions that are blocked by every cursor entry. So shortly, it was wrong because this cursors shows all sessions regardless their status (which can be "ACTIVE", "INACTIVE", "KILLED" etc.) and some of them might get STATUS = 'KILLED'!
Beside this there was a problem with waiters that are mixed because there was no blockers SID passed as an parameter. So this is why I completely removed c_w cursor and put all in one c_waiters which has two parameters:
CURSOR c_waiters (p_blocker_waiter_sid gv$lock.sid%TYPE, p_blockers_waiter_inst_id gv$lock.inst_id%TYPE) IS SELECT nvl(username,'Blocker ???') waiter_user, gvl.sid, gvs.serial# serial, gvl.inst_id, gvl.ctime , gvs.status STATUS, module, decode(gvl.request, 0, 'None', 1, 'NoLock', 2, 'Row-Share', 3, 'Row-Exclusive', 4, 'Share-Table', 5, 'Share-Row-Exclusive', 6, 'Exclusive', 'Nothing-' ) lock_req, action FROM gv$lock gvl, gv$session gvs WHERE gvl.request>0 AND gvl.sid=gvs.sid AND gvl.inst_id=gvs.inst_id AND gvs.blocking_session=p_blocker_waiter_sid AND gvl.inst_id=p_blockers_waiter_inst_id ORDER BY gvl.CTIME desc ;And this is exactly what happened in this case. First submitted job really killed that blocking session ("mark for kill") and other two hasn't find anything to kill so they were trying to execute and after some time gone to broken status after n retries.
To make more clear, let me show you the same situation with added STATUS field:
Blocker Inst SID Serial [sec] Lock Type Status Module ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ANAL 1 282 6661 7981 Transaction KILLED ZLSA 2 372 126 1128 Exclusive ACTIVE SLPE 2 368 48 6836 Exclusive ACTIVE DRI2 3 237 232 6727 Exclusive ACTIVE 2.

The second bug in sb procedure was that "kill statement" was always constructed from first blocker in list. And this was again wrong because this session may be killed and then this kill command would produce an error!
The solution
When I realize that, I rewrite a new sb procedure:/* --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Filename: check_bloking_session.prc CR/TR# : Purpose : Find blocking sessions and create release statements for RAC and non RAC environment Date : 08.07.2005.

Now when you run the sb procedure, the same situation will look like:

SQL>So it would construct kill statement for second blocker and skip first blocker which is "marked for kill". And now this is regular.
Kill "marked for kill"
If you look in oracle theory, "KILLED" status does not affect the work performed by the command, but it returns control back to the current session immediately, rather than waiting for confirmation of the kill. If the marked session persists for some time you may consider killing the process at the operating system level.So practically it was still running in Oracle and the only way to immediately kill this session was to perform from OS level command!
Just to remind you differences between DISCONNECT and KILL SESSION
- IMMEDIATE clause with KILL SESSION
instruct Oracle to roll back ongoing transactions, release all session locks, recover the entire session state, and return control to you immediately.
- IMMEDIATE clause with DISCONNECT SESSION
disconnects the session and recovers the entire session state immediately, without waiting for ongoing transactions to complete.
Be proactive

The end
If you get mail now for blocking session and all blocker sessions are killed, then you'll see output like this:Blocker Inst SID Serial [sec] Lock Type Status Module ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ANAL 1 282 6661 7981 Transaction KILLED ZLSA 2 372 126 1128 Exclusive ACTIVE SLPE 2 368 48 6836 Exclusive ACTIVE DRI2 3 237 232 6727 Exclusive ACTIVE 2.

For the end here is how this rewrite version produce result. Here is mail that you'll get in a case of blocking session:

Regards, Your auto DBA d.o.o. Zagreb, 21.05.2010 23:39:33As you see now you can see which row is causing block and statement that is blocked in waiter session-looks promising!
Keep in mind that these two procedures are called in two separate calls, so sometimes second call may shown no blocking records ... and they do not exists in second case call and was existing in first time call.
Cheers!
