Description:
The problem is triggered by the OCIServerAttach() OCI interface
returning ORA-12157 (or any other error) when the
TIBCO iProcess Engine seeks to create a new connection
to the database.

Following is an example message reported in the SWDIR/logs/sw_warn
log when attempting to connect to Oracle:-

2007/01/19 15:04:51(SPO:1:2086:1:unknown_swuser:/idl.c:7.131.1.3:5778): 1945-Database error: fil_get_conn() OCIServerAttach Failed (Statement ID - 0) (ORA-12157: TNS:internal network communication error)

The TIBCO iProcess Engine process sentinels processes
will restart the failed TIBCO iProcess Objects Server
if the problem occurs.

The problem could potentially occur on any release of the
TIBCO iProcess Engine not just the Oracle variant.

The issue will be resolved in the next maintenance release of
the TIBCO iProcess Engine.
Symptoms:

Cause:

The TIBCO iProcess Objects Server can crash if the TIBCO iProcess Engine encounters a problem establishing a connection to the database.
