Solution
It work with idle timeout for the session and PMON process is cleaning the session according to idle timeout session and write message in alert log file.
You can ignore this message.
You can see its mode is KILL SOFT — mean PMON is cleaning the session. If its KILL HARD then someone manually kill the session in Oracle 12c.
Yeah got this after upgrading to 19c. But checking the profiles, I don’t see any IDLE TIME settings that could have done the KILL SESSION. So why is the KILL SOFT still happening? 😦 Would be nice to know if there is a view that can provide more details on the sessions killed 😦
