A critical situation is defined as a problem with the installed equipment that severely affects service, traffic, or maintenance capabilities, and requires immediate corrective action. Critical situations affect service and/or system operation resulting in one or several of these situations:

  • A total system failure that results in loss of all transaction processing capability
  • Significant reduction in system capacity or traffic handling capability
  • Loss of the system’s ability to perform automatic system reconfiguration
  • Inability to restart a processor or the system
  • Corruption of system databases that requires service affecting corrective actions
  • Loss of access for maintenance or recovery operations
  • Loss of the system ability to provide any required critical or major trouble notification

Any other problem severely affecting service, capacity/traffic, billing, and maintenance capabilities may be defined as critical by prior discussion and agreement with Oracle.
