Oracle Error ORA-56718: Timeout occurred while setting resource plan

Oracle Error Message

ORA-56718: Timeout occurred while setting resource plan

Reason for the Error

A timeout occurred while waiting for one or more RAC instances to set the resource plan.

Solution

Since the resource plan may have actually been set successfully, first check the current resource plan for each instance by querying gv$rsrc_plan. If the resource plan was not successfully set on all instances, then retry the operation.
