Upon inspecting the database, you find that this isn’t due to any queries, but caused by SMON as it performs a parallel recovery after another DBA has killed a transaction that was performing less than optimally.
Captured in the alert log:
Parallel Transaction recovery caught exception 30319 Parallel Transaction recovery caught error 30319 Dead transaction 0x000a.05c.00003e84 recovered by 48 server(s)
to resolve the situation, update the fast_start_parallel_rollback parameter in the database to “low” so smon won’t spawn so many recovery processes and let the recovery complete.
