SmiLayerLog Error Terminate process due to unrecoverable error: 3006. (Main Thread)
An inconsistent or corrupted dictionary file "diccache.dat" is likely the cause.
Solution:
Stop the application server and manually kill the remaining Siebel application specific processes
eg.,
stop_server all
pkill siebmtsh
pkill siebproc
..
Remove $SIEBEL_HOME/bin/diccache.dat file. It will be re-generated during the application server startup
Start the application server
start_server all
