Dear Sir,
I have created a materialized view with COMPLETE refresh on DEMAND and trying to refresh it and the status is showing as RUNNING without any end or termination to the refreshing. The view on which the MV is created has reference to tables from remote database.

I tried to create a table with the same query and the table got created without any errors which the MV is just in RUNNING status for ever.

How should i debug the issue further.

Thank you

You could start by seeing if the refresh is actually running or hanging. THis will list all sessions that are hanging, and why:
select username,event,seconds_in_wait from v$session where wait_class <> 'Idle';

It shows seconds_in_Wait as zero. This issues is still unresolved and need some help.

CTCOFF   SQL*Net message to client               0

I found now in USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS the job is already stopped within 35 min with error message as REASON="Job slave process was terminated" while the USER_SCHEDULER_JOBS was still showing RUNNING until now. Further I need to check the alert log to get more information on why did the job terminate.

Note that ERROR# and ADDITIONAL_INFO in USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS will give you some information as well as USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_LOG.

Check the database logs to see if there are any error messages or problems with the MV. This may help determine exactly what is happening to the MV during the update. Try running the query used to update the MV manually and see if any errors occur. If the query runs without errors, the problem may be MV related. Check to see if there are any locks on the tables used in the MV. This can cause a delay in query execution and a RUNNING status for the MV.

If there were some locks the waiting events (assuming there were correctly reported) would be different.

When i executed the same query to create a table, it is done in 45 min while i try to refresh the MV it just remains RUNNING. I found a way to avoid using database links by replicating those transactions in this same schema and by this way the MV is refreshing quickly in 5 min.
