Job queue slave processes stopped
CAUSE:
ORA01089 is just a warning that the DB is being shut down.
If a job is about to be spawned when shutdown of database is in progress, you will see these errors in the alert log file and this is perfectly valid.
SOLUTION:
There is no harm at all because of this warning being logged to the alert.log The Error can be safely ignored as
the job coordinator process tried to spawn a job slave when the Shutdown was in progress.
One workaround that we can suggest is to set an underscore parameter
_JOB_QUEUE_INTERVAL=120 or greater value
The default value is 60 but when we change to 120 there are less chances of getting the above warnings in the
alert log file.
