[Issue] ora-00600 : internal error code, arguments: [kkdogty01], [], []

Hello All,

During our daily health check , we found ora-00600 error in our alert.log

Error:

Errors in file /m02/oracle/db/tech_st/10.2.0/admin/PROD_server1/udump/prod_ora_8960.trc:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kkdogty01], [], [], [], [], [], [], []


Cause:

The error means that the function kkdogty got a null pointer instead of a proper pointer to the object OID.
If a Third Party tool is being used, bad connection can cause the error.
In our case, TOAD was used to run a SQL which produced the error.


Solution:

If a Third Party tool is used, stop all third party connections and
check if problem is reproducible from a SQL*Plus session.

If this error can be reproduced using SQLPLUS, then please log a Service Request
and upload the related trace files to Oracle Support Service for further analysis.
Otherwise, check configuration and usage of third party application.
