Changes

New Feature added to 19c. Client will trigger the server to test for OOB availability at connect time. If it fails the error is reported.
Cause

New feature in 19c client that will trigger the server to Auto test if Out of Bound breaks are allowed on the network.
This is on by default.

So when the 19c client connects to the server it will trigger the server to test OOB this is seen in the server side trace
nsaccept: Checking OOB Support

If the network underneath does not support the OOB the OOB check will fail. The connection will also fail.



Solution

The True solution in this case would be to resolve the underlying network inability to handle Out of Bound packets.
The network should support those in order to handle things like using a Control C to interrupt the communication between the client and server.


In the meantime you can use the following workarounds.

Option 1
To stop the initial OOB check you can use the parameter
5.2.8 DISABLE_OOB_AUTO
https://docs.oracle.com/en/datab ... vices-reference.pdf

Please note if you do require an OOB break later in the life of the connection it will likely also fail and cause a failure later in the life of the connection.
So not the best option.

Second option
DISABLE_OOB=ON in the SQLNET.ORA file on the server.
https://docs.oracle.com/en/datab ... vices-reference.pdf


This will turn off the OOB usage until you can resolve the underlying network inability to handle the packets.
Long term we prefer to keep OOB in use to allow things like a Control C to be able to function normally.
So it is best to only use this as a workaround and fix the true underlying network inability to handle the OOB packets.

Additional Note
While checking the network make sure it can also support the URG flag as that is also required by the Oracle software and from external reading often also prevented when the OOB packets are not allowed.
