See what actions are needed:
$ oerr ora 7445
07445, 00000, "exception encountered: core dump [% s] [% s] [% s] [% s] [% s] [% s]"
// * Cause: An operating system
// creation of a core file. This is an internal error.
// * Action: ORA-07445 Lookup tool
// (reference Note 7445.1)
// ORA-07445 error encountered.
//
// An Incident has been created
// Diagnostic Repository (ADR). When logging a service request, use
// the Incident Packaging Service (IPS) from the Support Workbench
// or the ADR Command Interpreter (ADRCI) to automatically package the
// relevant trace information (reference My Oracle Support Note 411.1).
The process, server or background, died as a result of an exception at the system level and a core dump was created. There is no single cause for the error.
This is an internal error, in case of which it is necessary to turn in support. In this particular case, it no longer makes sense, since 10g has long been out of support .
Further actions depend on where this error occurred and what preceded it. For starters, you can see the ALERT.LOG alarm log in the directory:
SQL> show parameter background_dump_dest NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------------------ background_dump_dest string /app/oracle/diag/rdbms/o10gr2/o10gr2/trace
Perhaps installing patches will help (an account on My Oracle Support is required):
