Hi
Bumped into this ugly Oracle issue during an add-on installation via SUM. And here is what worked for me and my way to troubleshoot:
1. Checked Update statisics from trx DBACOCKPIT (DB13) and realized it was failing and stated the same issue here as in logfiles for SUM (ORA-20003: Specified bug number (16470836) does not exist)
2. I downloaded the latest MOPatch, OPatch and SBP (SAP Bundle Patch) for Oracle.
3. I patched the system with the latest SBP (see below target version) and used the latest MOPatch and OPatch. Then started up the system and from DBACOCKPIT, violá, now the update statistics job works like a charm. I assume the previous SBP had a bug (?).
And for the record, I am on Oracle 11.2.0.4 and my SAP Bundle looked like this:
Current Version:
SAP Bundle Patch 11.2.0.4.3 - 201408 Patch level 1408
Target Version:
SAP Bundle Patch 11.2.0.4.4 - 201411 Patch level 1411
And after the patch I got rid of the ("ORA-20003: Specified bug number (16470836) does not exist)" issue. SUM is now also progressing and passed the issue in step "5.4 Checks" and Phase: PREP_SPACEALC/TABSPC_PREP.
Hope it helps to others.
Cheers //Pelle
