Oracle chain results in "job slave process was terminated" for concurrent job execution
11:24 16 Nov 2012

Currently I have an Oracle chain defined with the following steps:

1) TRUE  
     START first,second,third  
2)  first COMPLETED AND second COMPLETED AND third COMPLETED  
    START A,B,C  
3)  A COMPLETED AND B COMPLETED AND C COMPLETED  
    END

first.sql:

create materialized view first_View  
nologging  
never refresh  
as  
select * from first

second.sql:

create materialized view second_View  
nologging  
never refresh  
as  
select * from second  

third.sql:

create materialized view third_View  
nologging  
never refresh  
as  
select * from third

The error I receive is this:

CHAIN_LOG_ID="4321", STEP_NAME="SECOND" REASON="Job slave process was terminated"

The box has 16 CPUs, so any insight as to why this is happening would be helpful.
