    ORA-02068: severe error from ORAMVS

    We have checked the status of listener and it's okay.
    ORAORD7, TNSG473 & G4G407 are okay.
    Still, we are encountering this problem when trying to connect to DB2.
    =============== =============== =============== ======
    Oracle7 Server Release 7.2.3.0.0 - Production Release
    With the distributed option
    PL/SQL Release 2.2.3.0.0 - Production

    SQL> desc tablev@oramvs
    ERROR:
    ORA-02068: following severe error from ORAMVS
    ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
    =============== =============== =============== ======
    We can do SQL Select in Oracle but not in ORAMVS.
    What could possibly be the problem in our ORACLE Gateway?
    How can we check where to look for the error details?


    thank you!

      ORAMVS is our Oracle in MVS(Multi Virtual Storage).
      Oracle in Mainframe. Our mainframe is OS/390.

      Our mainframe is using DB2.

      Background: We need this ORACLE-DB2 connection because we make view tables in oracle for DB2 base tables.

      thanks!

        thank you!
        may be useful

        the error messages succeeding the ORA-02068 will
        indicate the type/nature of problem that lead to the severe error.

        In addition, you may want to check the alert log of the remote
        database and the udump directory.

        As an aside, you can also close any existing db links before using a
        db link. Not a real issue with Oracle to Oracle, but a problem when
        dealing with other databases that will time out the connection -
        causing the next SQL on that db link to fail as Oracle attempts to
        re-use it. Executing the exact same SQL immediately again works as
        Oracle will create a brand new (and active) db link.

        Using this technique of closing a db link which has not been used for
        some time by that session (before using that link name again), can
        save you a lot of exception coding.
