Description:
Yesterday around 3pm Oracle shutdown while some indexing jobs were running. When I looked into the alert log
"ORA-02097: parameter cannot be modified because specified value is invalid
Mon Jul 11 15:00:16 2011
Instance terminated by CKPT, pid = 25581"
I also looked into the some trace files from around that time and here is what I see:

[More:] It looks like there is some problem with the indexing. Some of the jobs ran, but nothing is running right now. I went to the batch queue to try to start it, but it says its already running. Any reason why this would have stalled?
Heres the error from that first indexing job in ABC01. This was at the end of the Log file: abc01_p_manage_07.00210 log file:

Oracle error: handle_connection
ORA-01034: Message 1034 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS,
***************************************************

Can't make pipe.

Resolution:
util a/8 shows that you have analyzed tables/indexes.

You need to follow KB 8192-3980 and correct this.

Output from util a/8:

This list should be empty
if not please use util a 9 to delete statistics

List of tables and indexes analyzed
=================================================
<etc.>

[From site:] the problem is gone now. Oracle did not shut down since I cleaned the statistics table.
