DB wrapper function not handling exceptions properly
There were oracle instabilities this morning and I see a few agents with components terminated. If I correctly understood the wrapper function, when there is a passable/temporary database exception it does not return data in the format that the timer wrapper (yes, a wrapper for the wrapped function :)) expects, which then fails to assign those values to tSpent, results.

Here is the long traceback from vocms0251 DBS3Upload:
