Spring Batch ORA-08177: can't serialize access for this transaction when running single job, SERIALIZED isolation level

Question

I am getting this exception with SERIALIZED isolation level on JobRepository in Spring Batch:

org.springframework.dao.CannotSerializeTransactionException: Pr         


        

Answer 1

From official doc - 4.3.1

The default isolation level for that method is SERIALIZABLE, which is quite aggressive: READ_COMMITTED would work just as well; READ_UNCOMMITTED would be fine if two processes are not likely to collide in this way. However, since a call to the create* method is quite short, it is unlikely that the SERIALIZED will cause problems, as long as the database platform supports it.
