that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.

ORA-00023
ORA-00023, 00000, “session references process private memory; cannot detach session”

Cause: An attempt was made to detach the current session when it contains
references to process private memory.

Action: A session may contain references to process memory (PGA) if it has
an open network connection, a very large context area, or operating
system privileges. To allow the detach, it may be necessary to
close the session’s database links and/or cursors. Detaching a
session with operating system privileges is always disallowed.

ORA-00031, 00000, “session marked for kill”

Cause: The session specified in an ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command
cannot be killed immediately (because it is rolling back or blocked
on a network operation), but it has been marked for kill. This
means it will be killed as soon as possible after its current
uninterruptable operation is done.

Action: No action is required for the session to be killed, but further
executions of the ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command on this session
may cause the session to be killed sooner.

ORA-00038, 00000, “Cannot create session: server group belongs to another user”

Cause: An attempt was made to create a non-migratable session in a server
group that is owned by a different user.

Action: A server group is owned by the first user who logs into a server
in the server group in non-migratable mode. All subsequent
non-migratable mode logins must be made by the user who owns
the server group. To have a different user login in non-migratable
mode, the ownership of the server group will have to be changed.
This can be done by logging off all current sessions and detaching
from all existing servers in the server group and then having the
new user login to become the new owner.

ORA-00155
ORA-00155, 00000, “cannot perform work outside of global transaction”

Cause: The application tried to perform some work on either an Oracle
7.3 server or an Oracle8 server with local transactions disabled
while outside of a global transaction.

Action: Check if the application is connected to an Oracle 7.3 server. The
Transaction monitor must not return a NULL XID on an AX_REG call
when the resource manager is Oracle 7.3. If the application is
connected to an Oracle8 server, either set nolocal=f in the
xa_open string or start a global transaction prior to attempting
the work.

Cause: This message reports the name file involved in other messages.

Action: See associated error messages for a description of the problem.

ORA-00203
ORA-00203, 00000, “using the wrong control files”

Cause: The mount ID in the control file is not the same as the
mount ID in the control file used by the first instance to
mount this database. The control files are for the same database
but they are not the same files. Most likely one instance is using
a backup control file.

Action: Check that the correct control files were specified.

ORA-00204
ORA-00204, 00000, “error in reading (block %s, # blocks %s) of control file”

Cause: A disk I/O failure was detected on reading the control file.

Action: Check if the disk is online, if it is not, bring it online and try
a warm start again. If it is online, then you need to recover
the disk.

Cause: A disk I/O failure was detected on writing the control file.

Action: Check if the disk is online, if it is not, bring it online and try
// a warm start again. If it is online, then you need to
recover the disk.

ORA-00207
ORA-00207, 00000, “control files are not for the same database”

Cause: The database ID in the control file is not the same as the
database ID in the control file used by the first instance to
mount this database. Most likely one of the mounts used the wrong
control file or there are two databases with the same name.

Action: Check that the control file is for the correct database and is
not an old version.

ORA-00208
ORA-00208, 00000, “number of control file names exceeds limit of %s”

Cause: An attempt was made to use more control files than Oracle supports.

Action: Shut down Oracle. Reduce the number of control files specified in
the CONTROL_FILES parameter in the initialization parameter
file, and restart Oracle. Delete usused files.

ORA-00209
ORA-00209, 00000, “control file blocksize mismatch, check alert log for more info”

Cause: The block size in the control file header does not match the
size specified in the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter.

Action: Look at the alert log for more information.

ORA-00210

Action: Find and install the correct control file.

ORA-00212
ORA-00212, 00000, “block size %s below minimum required size of %s bytes”

Cause: The block size specified was too small. Space for the
// system overhead is required.

Action: Specify a larger block size and retry the operation.

ORA-00213
ORA-00213, 00000, “cannot reuse control file; old file size %s, %s required”

Cause: To reuse a control file, it must be the same size as
// the one previously used.

Action: Either do not specify REUSE, or specify a matching combination of
MAXDATAFILES, MAXLOGFILES, MAXLOGMEMBERS, MAXLOGHISTORY, and
MAXINSTANCES clauses in the CREATE DATABASE or CREATE CONTROLFILE
statement.

ORA-00214
ORA-00214, 00000, “control file ‘%s’ version %s inconsistent with file ‘%s’ version %s”

Cause: An inconsistent set of control files, datafiles/logfiles, and redo
files was used.

Action: Use a consistant set of control files, datafiles/logfiles, and redo
log files. That is, all the files must be for the same database
and from the same time period.

ORA-00215
ORA-00215, 00000, “must be at least one control file”

Cause: No control file is specified or the control file specified does
not exist.

Action: Specify at least one valid control file and retry the operation.

ORA-00216
ORA-00216, 00000, “control file could not be resized for migration from 8.0.2″

Cause: The control file created by release 8.0.2 was missing some record
types. These record types are automatically added by resizing
the control file during mount. The resize has failed.

Action: Look in the alert log for the reason that the resize has failed.
If indicated in the alert log, give the control file more space.
Otherwise, use the CREATE CONTROLFILE script dumped to the trace
file to create a new control file.

ORA-00217
ORA-00217, 00000, “control file could not be resized for new record types”

Cause: The control file was missing some new record types supported
by this release. These record types are automatically added
by resizing the contol file during mount. The resize has failed.

Action: Look in the alert log for the reason that the resize has failed.
If indicated in the alert log, give the control file more space.
Otherwise, use the CREATE CONTROLFILE script dumped to the trace
file to create a new control file.

ORA-00218
ORA-00218, 00000, “block size %s of control file ‘%s’ does not match DB_BLOCK_SIZE (%s)”

Cause: The block size as stored in the control file header is
different from the value of the initialization parameter
DB_BLOCK_SIZE. This might be due to an incorrect setting of
DB_BLOCK_SIZE, or else might indicate that the control file has
either been corrupted or belongs to a different database.

Action: Restore a good copy of the control file. If the control file is
known to be clean set the DB_BLOCK_SIZE to match control file
headers block size value.

ORA-00219
ORA-00219, 00000, “required control file size (%s logical blocks) exceeds maximum allowable size (%s logical blocks)”

Cause: An invocation of CREATE DATABASE or CREATE CONTROLFILE
was executed specifying a combination of parameters that would
require the control file size in blocks to exceed the maximum
allowable value.

Action: In the case of CREATE DATABASE or CREATE CONTROLFILE, use a
different combination of MAXDATAFILES, MAXLOGFILES, MAXLOGMEMBERS,
MAXLOGHISTORY, and MAXINSTANCES clauses.

ORA-00220
ORA-00220, 00000, “control file not mounted by first instance, check alert log for more info”

Cause: The specified control file has a different mount ID than the
other control files that are being mounted. This means that
the first instance to mount the database did not use this
control file.

Action: Find and install the correct control file.

ORA-00221
ORA-00221, 00000, “error on write to control file”

Cause: An error occurred when writing to one or more of the control files.

Action: See accompanying messages.

ORA-00222
ORA-00222, 00000, “operation would reuse name of a currently mounted control file”

Cause: The filename supplied as a parameter to the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP
CONTROLFILE command or to cfileSetSnapshotName matches the
name of the specified currently mounted control file.

Action: Retry the operation with a different filename.

ORA-00223
ORA-00223, 00000, “convert file is invalid or incorrect version”

Cause: An Oracle7 to Oracle8 convert file contains invalid data
or was created with an different version of the migration utility.
This error can also be caused by incorrect ORACLE_HOME environment
variable when ALTER DATABASE CONVERT command is issued.

Action: Use a correct version of the convert file or regenerate it with
the migration utility. Make sure that the migration utility is the
same version as the Oracle8 RDBMS executable and that the
ORACLE_HOME environment variable is properly set.

ORA-00224
ORA-00224, 00000, “control file resize attempted with illegal record type (%s)”

Cause: An attempt was made to expand or shrink the control file by calling
cfileResizeSection using an invalid value for the RECORD_TYPE
parameter.

Action: Use a value for the RECORD_TYPE parameter that specifies a
valid record type other than type 0 (valid range is 1-16).

ORA-00225
ORA-00225, 00000, “expected size %s of control file differs from actual size %s”

Cause: The expected size of the control file as stored in its
header was different than the actual operating system file size.
// This usually indicates that the control file was corrupted.

Action: Restore a good copy of the control file.

ORA-00226
ORA-00226, 00000, “operation disallowed while alternate control file open”

Cause: The attempted operation could not be executed at this time because
this process had an alternate control file open for fixed table
access.

Action: Retry the operation after calling cfileUseCurrent.

ORA-00227
ORA-00227, 00000, “corrupt block detected in control file: (block %s, # blocks %s)”

Cause: A block header corruption or checksum error was detected on reading
the control file.

Action: Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE or RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP
CONTROLFILE command.

ORA-00228
ORA-00228, 00000, “length of alternate control file name exceeds maximum of %s”

Cause: The specified filename, which was supplied as a parameter
to cfileSetSnapshotName or cfileUseCopy, exceeds the maximum
filename length for this operating system.

Action: Retry the operation with a shorter filename.

ORA-00229
ORA-00229, 00000, “operation disallowed: already hold snapshot control file enqueue”

Cause: The attempted operation cannot be executed at this time because
this process currently holds the snapshot control file enqueue.

Action: Retry the operation after calling cfileUseCurrent to release the
snapshot control file enqueue.

ORA-00230
ORA-00230, 00000, “operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable”

Cause: The attempted operation cannot be executed at this time because
another process currently holds the snapshot control file enqueue.

Action: Retry the operation after the concurrent operation that is holding
the snapshot control file enqueue terminates.

ORA-00231
ORA-00231, 00000, “snapshot control file has not been named”

Cause: During an invocation of cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot or cfileUseSnapshot
it was detected that no filename for the snapshot control file had
previously been specified.

Action: Specify a name for the snapshot control file by calling
cfileSetSnapshotName.

ORA-00232
ORA-00232, 00000, “snapshot control file is nonexistent, corrupt, or unreadable”

Cause: The snapshot control file was found to be nonexistent, corrupt,
or unreadable during an invocation of cfileUseSnapshot.

Action: Call cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot again (or for the first time).

ORA-00233
ORA-00233, 00000, “copy control file is corrupt or unreadable”

Cause: The specified copy control file was found to be corrupt or
unreadable during an invocation of cfileUseCopy.

Action: Before retrying cfileUseCopy, use the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP
CONTROLFILE command and specify the same filename that was
specified for cfileUseCopy.

ORA-00234
ORA-00234, 00000, “error in identifying or opening snapshot or copy control file”

Cause: A snapshot or copy control file of the specified name
// could not be found or opened during an invocation of
cfileUseSnapshot, cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot, or cfileUseCopy.

Action: Re-create the snapshot or copy control file using
cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot or ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE,
respectively.

ORA-00235
ORA-00235, 00000, “control file read without a lock inconsistent due to concurrent update”

Cause: Concurrent update activity on a control file caused a process
// to read inconsistent information from the control file
without a lock.

Action: Retry the operation.

ORA-00236
ORA-00236, 00000, “snapshot operation disallowed: mounted control file is a backup”

Cause: Attempting to invoke cfileSetSnapshotName, cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot,
or cfileUseSnapshot when the currently mounted control file is a
backup control file.

Action: Mount a current control file and retry the operation.

ORA-00237
ORA-00237, 00000, “snapshot operation disallowed: control file newly created”

Cause: An attempt to invoke cfileMakeAndUseSnapshot with a currently
mounted control file that was newly created with CREATE CONTROLFILE
was made.

Action: Mount a current control file and retry the operation.

ORA-00238
ORA-00238, 00000, “operation would reuse a filename that is part of the database”

Cause: The filename supplied as a parameter to the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP
CONTROLFILE command or to cfileSetSnapshotName matches the name of
a file that is currently part of the database.

Action: Retry the operation with a different filename.

ORA-00239
ORA-00239, 00000, “timeout waiting for control file enqueue: held by ‘%s’ for more than %s seconds”

Cause: The specified process waited the maximum allowed time for the control file enqueue.

Action: Restart the blocking instance indicated in the incident trace file
or reboot the blocking node.

ORA-00240
ORA-00240, 00000, “control file enqueue held for more than %s seconds”

Cause: The current process did not release the control file enqueue within
the maximum allowed time.

Action: Reissue any commands that failed and contact Oracle Support
Services with the incident information.

ORA-00250
ORA-00250, 00000, “archiver not started”

Cause: An attempt was made to stop automatic archiving, but the
archiver process was not running.

Action: No action required.

ORA-00251
ORA-00251, 00000, “LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST cannot be the same destination as string %s”

Cause: The destination specified by the LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST
parameter is the same as the destination specified by an ALTER
SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START TO command.

Action: Specify a different destination for parameter
LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST, or specify a different destination with the
ALTER SYSTEM command.

ORA-00252
ORA-00252, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is empty, cannot archive”

Cause: A log must be used for redo generation before it can be archived.
The specified redo log was not been used since it was introduced
to the database. However it is possible that instance death during
a log switch left the log empty.

Action: Empty logs do not need to be archived. Do not attempt to
archive the redo log file.

ORA-00253
ORA-00253, 00000, “character limit %s exceeded by archive destination string %s”

Cause: The destination specified by an ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START TO
command was too long.

Action: Retry the ALTER SYSTEM command using a string shorter than the
limit specified in the error message.

ORA-00254
ORA-00254, 00000, “error in archive control string ‘%s’”

Cause: The specified archive log location is invalid in the archive
command or the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST initialization parameter.

Action: Check the archive string used to make sure it refers to a valid
// online device.

ORA-00255
ORA-00255, 00000, “error archiving log %s of thread %s, sequence # %s”

Cause: An error occurred during archiving.

Action: Check the accompanying message stack for more detailed
information.
//
If the online log is corrupted,
then the log can be cleared using the UNARCHIVED option. This will
make any existing backups useless for recovery to any time after
the log was created, but will allow the database to generate redo.

ORA-00256
ORA-00256, 00000, “cannot translate archive destination string %s”

Cause: The destination specified by an ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START TO
command could not be translated.

Action: Check the accompanying message stack for more detailed information.
Then, retry the ALTER SYSTEM command using a different string.

ORA-00257
ORA-00257, 00000, “archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.”

Cause: The archiver process received an error while trying to archive
// a redo log. If the problem is not resolved soon, the database
// will stop executing transactions. The most likely cause of this
// message is the destination device is out of space to store the
// redo log file.

Action: Check archiver trace file for a detailed description
// of the problem. Also verify that the
// device specified in the initialization parameter
// ARCHIVE_LOG_DEST is set up properly for archiving.

ORA-00258
ORA-00258, 00000, “manual archiving in NOARCHIVELOG mode must identify log”

Cause: The database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode and a command to manually
archive a log did not specify the log explicitly by sequence
number, group number or filename.

Action: Specify log by filename, by group number or by thread and
sequence number.

ORA-00259
ORA-00259, 00000, “log %s of open instance %s (thread %s) is the current log, cannot archive”

Cause: An attempt was made to archive the current log of an open
thread. This is not allowed because the redo log file may
still be in use for the generation of redo entries.

Action: Force a log switch in the instance where the thread is open.
If no instances are open, open the database so that instance
recovery can recover the thread.

ORA-00260
ORA-00260, 00000, “cannot find online log sequence %s for thread %s”

Cause: The log sequence number supplied to the archival command does
not match any of the online logs for the thread. The log might
have been reused for another sequence number, it might have been
dropped, the sequence number might be greater than the current
log sequence number, or the thread might not have any logs.

Action: Check the ARCHIVE statement, then specify a valid log sequence
number. Specify a valid log sequence number.

ORA-00261
ORA-00261, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is being archived or modified”

Cause: The log is either being archived by another process or an
administrative command is modifying the log. Operations that
modify the log include clearing, adding a member, dropping a
member, renaming a member, and dropping the log.

Action: Wait for the current operation to complete and try again.

ORA-00262
ORA-00262, 00000, “current log %s of closed thread %s cannot switch”

Cause: The log cannot be cleared or manually archived because it is
the current log of a closed thread, and it is not possible to
switch logs so another log is current. All other logs for the
thread need to be archived, or cleared, and cannot be reused.

Action: Archive another log in the same thread first, or complete the
clearing. See attached errors for the reason the switch cannot
be completed.

ORA-00263
ORA-00263, 00000, “there are no logs that need archiving for thread %s”

Cause: An attempt was made to manually archive the unarchived logs in this
thread but no logs needed archiving.

Action: No action required.

ORA-00264
ORA-00264, 00000, “no recovery required”

Cause: An attempt was made to perform media recovery on files that do not need any type of recovery.

Action: Do not attempt to perform media recovery on the selected
files. Check to see that the filenames were entered properly.
If not, retry the command with the proper filenames.

ORA-00265
ORA-00265, 00000, “instance recovery required, cannot set ARCHIVELOG mode”

Cause: The database either crashed or was shutdown with the ABORT
option. Media recovery cannot be enabled because the online
logs may not be sufficient to recover the current datafiles.

Action: Open the database and then enter the SHUTDOWN command with the
NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option.

ORA-00266
ORA-00266, 00000, “name of archived log file needed”

Cause: During media recovery, the name of an archived redo log file
was requested, but no name was entered.

Action: Mount the correct redo log file and enter its name when it
is requested.

ORA-00267
ORA-00267, 00000, “name of archived log file not needed”

Cause: During media recovery, the name of an archived redo log file
was entered, but no name was requested.

Action: Continue media recovery, but do not enter a new log name.

ORA-00268
ORA-00268, 00000, “specified log file does not exist ‘%s’”

Cause: The given redo log file does not exist.

Action: Check the spelling and capitalization of the filename and
retry the command.

ORA-00269
ORA-00269, 00000, “specified log file is part of thread %s not %s”

Cause: The given redo log file is not part of the given thread

Action: Check that the thread of the redo log file matches the
thread on the command line. If not, use a redo log file
from the appropriate thread. Retry the command after
correcting the error.

ORA-00270
ORA-00270, 00000, “error creating archive log %s”

Cause: An error was encountered when either creating or opening
the destination file for archiving.

Action: Check that the archive destination is valid and that there
is sufficient space on the destination device.

ORA-00271
ORA-00271, 00000, “there are no logs that need archiving”

Cause: An attempt was made to archive the unarchived redo log
files manually, but there are no files that need to be archived.

Action: No action required.

ORA-00272
ORA-00272, 00000, “error writing archive log %s”

Cause: An I/O error occurred while archiving a redo log file.

Action: Check that the output device is still available and correct
any device errors that may have occurred. Also, make certain
that sufficient space for archiving is available on the
output device.

ORA-00273
ORA-00273, 00000, “media recovery of direct load data that was not logged”

Cause: A media recovery session encountered a table that was loaded
by the direct loader without logging any redo information. Some
or all of the blocks in this table are now marked as corrupt.

Action: The table must be dropped or truncated so that the corrupted
blocks can be reused. If a more recent backup of the file is
available, try to recover this file to eliminate this error.

ORA-00274
ORA-00274, 00000, “illegal recovery option %s”

Cause: An illegal option was specified for a recovery command.

Action: Correct the syntax and retry the command.

ORA-00275
ORA-00275, 00000, “media recovery has already been started”

Cause: An attempt was made to start a second media recovery operation
in the same session.

Action: Complete or cancel the first media recovery session or
start another session to perform media recovery.

ORA-00276
ORA-00276, 00000, “CHANGE keyword specified but no change number given”

Cause: The CHANGE keyword was specified on the command line, but
no change number was given.

Action: Retry the command using a valid change number after the CHANGE
keyword.

ORA-00277
ORA-00277, 00000, “illegal option to the UNTIL recovery flag %s”

Cause: Only CANCEL, CHANGE, CONSISTENT and TIME can be used with the
UNTIL keyword.

Action: Correct the syntax.

Cause: This message helps to locate the redo log file with the
specified change number requested by other messages.

Action: Use the information provided in this message to specify the
required archived redo log files for other errors.

ORA-00281
ORA-00281, 00000, “media recovery may not be performed using dispatcher”

Cause: An attempt was made to use a dispatcher process for media
recovery. Memory requirements disallow this recovery method.

Action: Connect to the instance via a dedicated server process to
perform media recovery.

ORA-00282
ORA-00282, 00000, “UPI %s call not supported, use ALTER DATABASE RECOVER”

Cause: The given UPI call is no longer supported.

Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE RECOVER command for all recovery actions.

Action: Enter the time enclosed in single quotation marks.

ORA-00286
ORA-00286, 00000, “no members available, or no member contains valid data”

Cause: None of the members of a redo log file group are available, or
the available members do not contain complete data.

Action: If a member is temporarily offline, attempt to make it available.
Make sure that the correct filenames are being used, especially
if the redo log file is being accessed from a remote location.

ORA-00287
ORA-00287, 00000, “specified change number %s not found in thread %s”

Cause: The given change number does not appear in any of the online
redo logs for the given thread.

Action: Check the statement to make certain a valid change number
is given. Perhaps try to use the NEXT option for archiving logs.

ORA-00288
ORA-00288, 00000, “to continue recovery type ALTER DATABASE RECOVER CONTINUE”

Cause: During media recovery, a new log is not required but the
continuation command is necessary to do a checkpoint and
report errors.

Action: Type ALTER DATABASE RECOVER CONTINUE and recovery will resume.

ORA-00289
ORA-00289, 00000, “suggestion : %s”

Cause: This message reports the next redo log filename that is needed,
according to the initialization parameters LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST and
LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT. This message assumes that LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST
and LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT are the same now as when the required redo
log file was archived.

Action: Consider using this filename for the next log needed for recovery.

ORA-00290
ORA-00290, 00000, “operating system archival error occurred. See error below”

Cause: While attempting to archive to a redo log file, the server
encountered an unexpected operating system error.

Action: Correct the operating system error given in the messages and
retry the operation. See also your operating system-specific
Oracle documentation.

ORA-00291
ORA-00291, 0000, “numeric value required for PARALLEL option”

Cause: A recovery command was specified incorrectly. The PARALLEL option
must be followed by a numeric argument that specifies the degree
of parallelism.

Action: Re-enter the command with a numeric argument specifying the
degree of parallelism desired.

ORA-00292
ORA-00292, 00000, “parallel recovery feature not installed”

Cause: A parallel recovery was requested when the parallel
recovery option is not installed.

Action: Delete the PARALLEL clause from the RECOVER command. Also,
delete the RECOVERY_PARALLELISM parameter in the initialization
file.

ORA-00293
ORA-00293, 00000, “control file out of sync with redo log”

Cause: The redo log file and control file are out of sync because a
non-current controle file was specified when the instance
was started.

Action: Retry the RECOVER command using the current control file, or retry
the RECOVER command using the USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE clause.

ORA-00294
ORA-00294, 00000, “invalid archivelog format specifier ‘%s’”

Cause: An invalid format specifier was found in the LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT
initialization parameter. The only characters permitted
following the % symbol are s, S, t, and T.

Action: Correct the initialization file and re-start the instance.

ORA-00295
ORA-00295, 00000, “datafile/tempfile number %s is invalid, must be between 1 and %s”

Cause: An invalid file number was specified.

Action: Specify a valid datafile or tempfile number
and retry the operation.

ORA-00296
ORA-00296, 00000, “maximum number of files (%s) exceeded for RECOVER DATAFILE LIST”

Cause: The RECOVER DATAFILE LIST command specified more datafiles than
are allowed by the DB_FILES initialization parameter.
This error occurs when doing recovery with Recovery Manager, and
the instance has been started with a DB_FILES parameter specifying
fewer datafiles than recovery manager needs to recover to satisfy
the user’s RECOVER command.

Action: Re-start the instance with a higher value for DB_FILES.

ORA-00297
ORA-00297, 00000, “must specify RECOVER DATAFILE LIST before RECOVER DATAFILE START”

Cause: The RECOVER DATAFILE START command was issued, but no RECOVER
DATAFILE LIST commands had been issued. This only happens when
doing recovery with Recovery Manager, and is an internal error in
Recovery Manager, because Recovery Manager should always issue
RECOVER DATAFILE LIST before RECOVER DATAFILE START.

Action: Contact customer support

ORA-00298
ORA-00298, 00000, “Missing or invalid attribute value”

Cause: A non-zero integer value is required when the following keyword
attributes are specified: TIMEOUT, EXPIRE, DELAY, NEXT

Action: Correct the syntax and retry the command.

ORA-00299
ORA-00299, 00000, “must use file-level media recovery on data file %s”

Cause: The control file does not contain an entry for this file, so
block media recovery cannot be done.

Action: Restore the data file and perform file-level media recovery.

ORA-00300
ORA-00300, 00000, “illegal redo log block size %s specified – exceeds limit of %s”

// maximum block size for the operating system.

Action: Create the redo log on a device with a smaller block size

ORA-00301
ORA-00301, 00000, “error in adding log file ‘%s’ – file cannot be created”

Cause: The creation of the redo log file failed

Action: Check: 1) there is enough storage space on the device
// 2) the name of the file is valid
// 3) the device is online
// 4) an IO error occurred
// Also, it is possible REUSE was specified on the command line and
a file of the incorrect size exists. Either do not specify REUSE
or use a file of the correct size.

ORA-00302
ORA-00302, 00000, “limit of %s logs exceeded”

Cause: The maximum number of redo log files has been exceeded.

Action: Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE command with a larger value
for MAXLOGFILES if the compatibility is lower than 10.2.0.
// Otherwise, allocate more storage space for the control file.

ORA-00303
ORA-00303, 00000, “cannot process Parallel Redo”

Cause: A redo log containing Parallel Redo has been detected.
The current Oracle release cannot process this format of redo.

Action: Use a later release that supports Parallel Redo.
to process this log.

ORA-00304
ORA-00304, 00000, “requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy”

Cause: An instance tried to start by using a value of the
initialization parameter INSTANCE_NUMBER that is already in use.

Action: Either
// a) specify another INSTANCE_NUMBER,
// b) shut down the running instance with this number
// c) wait for instance recovery to complete on the instance with
// this number.

ORA-00305
ORA-00305, 00000, “log %s of thread %s inconsistent; belongs to another database”

Cause: The database ID in the redo log file does not match the database
ID in the control file. This redo log file is not from the
current database.

Action: Specify the correct redo log file, then retry the operation.

ORA-00306
ORA-00306, 00000, “limit of %s instances in this database”

Cause: Starting this instance would exceed the maximum number
// of instances allowed for this database. This message occurs
// only with STARTUP shared and multiple instances.

Action: You cannot start more than the lower of
// a) port-specific limit as to the number of instances
// b) the number of instances specified at create-database time

ORA-00307
ORA-00307, 00000, “requested INSTANCE_NUMBER out of range, maximum is %s”

Cause: The initialization parameter INSTANCE_NUMBER specified a
number that was out of range.

Action: Change INSTANCE_NUMBER to a valid range and restart the
instance. The minimum value is one and the maximum value is
the lower of the operating system-specific maximum or
the MAXINSTANCES option specified in the CREATE DATABASE
statement. See also your operating system-specific Oracle
documentation.

ORA-00308
ORA-00308, 00000, “cannot open archived log ‘%s’”

Cause: The system cannot access a required archived redo log file.

ORA-00309, 00000, “log belongs to wrong database”

Cause: The system cannot access the archived redo log because it
belongs to another database.

Action: Specify the correct redo log file, then retry the operation.

ORA-00310
ORA-00310, 00000, “archived log contains sequence %s; sequence %s required”

Cause: The archived log is out of sequence, probably because it
is corrupted or the wrong redo log filename was specified

ORA-00311
ORA-00311, 00000, “cannot read header from archived log”

Cause: An I/O error occurred when attempting to read the log file header
from the specified archived redo log file.

Action: Other messages will accompany this message. See the
associated messages for the appropriate action to take.

ORA-00312
ORA-00312, 00000, “online log %s thread %s: ‘%s’”

Cause: This message reports the filename for details of another message.

Action: Other messages will accompany this message. See the
associated messages for the appropriate action to take.

ORA-00313

Cause: The archived log is corrupted or for another thread. Can not
use the log for applying redo.

Action: Find correct archived log.

ORA-00326
ORA-00326, 00000, “log begins at change %s, need earlier change %s”

Cause: The archived log supplied for recovery was generated after the
log that is needed. Can not yet use the log for applying redo.

Action: Find correct archived log.

ORA-00327
ORA-00327, 00000, “log %s of thread %s, physical size %s less than needed %s”

Cause: A log file has shrunk in size. This is likely
// to have been caused by operator or operating system error.

Action: Restore the log file from backup. If backup is not available,
// drop this log and re-create. If the database was shut down
// cleanly, no further action should be required; otherwise
// incomplete recovery may be required.

ORA-00328
ORA-00328, 00000, “archived log ends at change %s, need later change %s”

Cause: The archived log supplied for recovery was generated before the
log that is needed. Can not use the log for applying redo.

Action: Find correct archived log.

ORA-00329
ORA-00329, 00000, “archived log begins at change %s, need change %s”

Cause: The archived log is not the correct log. An earlier log is needed.

Action: Restore the correct log file.

ORA-00330
ORA-00330, 00000, “archived log ends at change %s, need change %s”

Cause: The archived log is not the correct log. A later log is needed.

Action: Restore the correct log file.

ORA-00331
ORA-00331, 00000, “log version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s”

Cause: The log was written by incompatible version of Oracle.

Action: Recover the database with the compatible software, shut it
// down cleanly, then restart with current software.

ORA-00332
ORA-00332, 00000, “archived log is too small – may be incompletely archived”

Cause: The log is smaller than the space allocated in it. May be the
result of a shutdown abort while it was being written by the
archiver.

Action: Get a complete version of this log and use it for recovery. There
should either be an online version of it or a copy that was
successfully archived.

ORA-00333
ORA-00333, 00000, “redo log read error block %s count %s”

Cause: An IO error occurred while reading the log described in the
accompanying error.

Action: Restore accessibility to file, or get another copy of the file.

Action: Specify a size for the log file.

ORA-00338
ORA-00338, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is more recent than control file”

Cause: The control file change sequence number in the log file is
greater than the number in the control file. This implies that
the wrong control file is being used. Note that repeatedly causing
this error can make it stop happening without correcting the real
problem. Every attempt to open the database will advance the
control file change sequence number until it is great enough.

Action: Use the current control file or do backup control file recovery to
make the control file current. Be sure to follow all restrictions
on doing a backup control file recovery.

ORA-00339
ORA-00339, 00000, “archived log does not contain any redo”

ORA-00342
ORA-00342, 00000, “archived log does not have expected resetlogs SCN %s”

Cause: Recovery was given a log that does not belong to current
incarnation or one of the parent incarnation. There should be
another log that contains the correct redo.

Action: Supply the correct log file.

ORA-00344
ORA-00344, 00000, “unable to re-create online log ‘%s’”

Cause: An I/O failure occurred when attempting to re-create an online as
part of either ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS or ALTER DATABASE
CLEAR LOGFILE command.

Action: Correct the file/device as indicated by accompanying errors.

ORA-00345
ORA-00345, 00000, “redo log write error block %s count %s”

Cause: An IO error has occurred while writing the log

Action: Correct the cause of the error, and then restart the system.
// If the log is lost, apply media/incomplete recovery.

// during normal multi-process operation.

Action: Shutdown abort and warmstart the database.

ORA-00349
ORA-00349, 00000, “failure obtaining block size for ‘%s’”

Cause: The operating system was unable to determine the blocksize
// for the given filename.

Action: Consult the accompanying error message, and correct the
// device or specify another filename.

ORA-00350
ORA-00350, 00000, “log %s of instance %s (thread %s) needs to be archived”

Cause: The command cannot be done because the log has not been archived,
and media recovery has been enabled.

Action: Archive the log or disable media recovery. If the command supports
an UNARCHIVED option then it can be used. However this may result
in making backups unuseable, and forcing the drop of some offline
files.

ORA-00351
ORA-00351, 00000, “recover-to time invalid”

Cause: The time specified in a recover-until statement must
// be after January 1st 1988.

ORA-00353, 00000, “log corruption near block %s change %s time %s”

Cause: Some type of redo log corruption has been discovered. This error
describes the location of the corruption. Accompanying errors
describe the type of corruption.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do incomplete
recovery up to the indicated change or time.

ORA-00354
ORA-00354, 00000, “corrupt redo log block header”

Cause: The block header on the redo block indicated by the accompanying
error, is not reasonable.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do time based
recovery up to the indicated time. If this happens when archiving,
archiving of the problem log can be skipped by clearing the log
with the UNARCHIVED option. This must be followed by a backup of
every datafile to insure recoverability of the database.

ORA-00355
ORA-00355, 00000, “change numbers out of order”

Cause: A change number found in the redo log is lower than a previously
encountered change number. The log is corrupted in some way. The
corruption may be at the earlier change or at this one.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do time based
recovery up to the indicated time.

ORA-00356
ORA-00356, 00000, “inconsistent lengths in change description”

Cause: A change record in the redo log contains lengths that do not add
up to a consistent value. The log is corrupted in some way.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do time based
recovery up to the indicated time.

ORA-00357
ORA-00357, 00000, “too many members specified for log file, the maximum is %s”

Cause: An add logfile or add logfile member command would result in a
log with too many members. The number of members is set when the
database is created.

Action: Use fewer log file members.

ORA-00358
ORA-00358, 00000, “Too many file members specified, the maximum is %s”

Cause: A create or alter statement specified too many members in a
parenthesised file list.

Action: Specify a number of file members that is within the port-defined
limit.

ORA-00359
ORA-00359, 00000, “logfile group %s does not exist”

Cause: An add logfile member or drop logfile request specified a logfile
group number that does not exist.

Action: Check the configuration of the log files and reissue the command.

ORA-00360
ORA-00360, 00000, “not a logfile member: %s”

Cause: A filename was given to drop logfile member that is not a
part of the database, or which is a data file.

Action: Supply a valid logfile member name.

ORA-00361
ORA-00361, 00000, “cannot remove last log member %s for group %s”

Cause: An attempt has been made to remove the last member of a log file
group.

Action: If desired, delete the entire log, by using DROP LOGFILE.

ORA-00362
ORA-00362, 00000, “member is required to form a valid logfile in group %s”

Cause: A request to drop a logfile member was denied because it would
remove data required to form a complete logfile.

Action: If desired, delete the entire log (after archiving if required),
by using DROP LOGFILE;

ORA-00363
ORA-00363, 00000, “log is not the archived version”

Cause: The log given to recovery is a backup of the online version from
the time it was the current log. The archived version of the log
would not be marked as end of thread. This error can also be
caused by failing to list the current log of an enabled thread
in a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

Action: Find the archived version of the log and supply its name. If this
is media recovery immediately following a CREATE CONTROLFILE, be
sure the current log for this thread was included.

ORA-00364
ORA-00364, 00000, “cannot write header to new log member”

Cause: An i/o error occurred when attempting to write the header to a
log member that is being added to an existing group.

Action: See accompanying errors. Fix problem or use another file.

ORA-00365
ORA-00365, 00000, “the specified log is not the correct next log”

Cause: The specified log failed to pass checks to ensure it corresponds
to the log that was just applied. This is probably the result
of using a log that was generated against a cold backup image
of the database.

Action: Find the log that was generated by this copy of the database
and give that filename to recovery.

ORA-00366
ORA-00366, 00000, “log %s of thread %s, checksum error in the file header”

Cause: The file header for the redo log contains a checksum that does
not match the value calculated from the file header as read from
disk. This means the file header is corrupted

Action: Find and install correct version of log or reset logs.

ORA-00367
ORA-00367, 00000, “checksum error in log file header”

Cause: The file header for the redo log contains a checksum that does
not match the value calculated from the file header as read from
disk. This means the file header is corrupted

Action: Find the correct file and try again.

ORA-00368
ORA-00368, 00000, “checksum error in redo log block”

Cause: The redo block indicated by the accompanying error, is not
vaild. It has a checksum that does not match the block contents.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do time based
recovery up to the indicated time. If this happens when archiving,
archiving of the problem log can be skipped by clearing the log
with the UNARCHIVED option. This must be followed by a backup of
every datafile to insure recoverability of the database.

Action: Restore correct file or reset logs.

ORA-00369
ORA-00369, 00000, “Current log of thread %s not useable and other log being cleared”

Cause: Attempt to open thread failed because it is necessary to switch
redo generation to another online log, but all the other logs are
being cleared or need to be archived before they can be used.

Action: If the ALTER DATABASE CLEAR LOGFILE command is still active then
wait for it to complete. Otherwise reissue the CLEAR command. If
there are other online logs for the thread, that are not being
cleared, then archive the logs.

ORA-00370
ORA-00370, 00000, “potential deadlock during kcbchange operation”

Cause: Error code used internally by software. Should never be reported

Action: Treat as internal error. See error 600.

ORA-00371
ORA-00371, 00000, “not enough shared pool memory, should be atleast %s bytes”

Cause: Init.ora parameter shared_pool_size is too small

Action: Increase the parameter value

ORA-00372
ORA-00372, 00000, “file %s cannot be modified at this time”

Cause: attempting to modify the contents of a file that cannot be
modified. The file is most likely part of a read only tablespace
but may be in the process of going offline, or the database may
be in the process of closing.

Action: check the status of the file and its tablespace

ORA-00373
ORA-00373, 00000, “online log version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s”

Cause: The online log was written by incompatible version of Oracle.
// Can occur when the log file was created by either a new or
// older version of Oracle.

Action: Recover the database with the compatible software, shut it
// down cleanly, then restart with current software.

ORA-00374
ORA-00374, 00000, “parameter db_block_size = %s invalid ; must be a multiple of %s in the range [%s..%s]”

Cause: invalid value for db_block_size parameter

Action: adjust parameter and restart

ORA-00375
ORA-00375, 00000, “Cannot allocate buffer cache state object”

Document: NO

Cause: No state obeject elements on freelist

Action: None.

ORA-00376
ORA-00376, 00000, “file %s cannot be read at this time”

Cause: attempting to read from a file that is not readable. Most likely
the file is offline.

Action: Check the state of the file. Bring it online

ORA-00377
ORA-00377, 00000, “Frequent backups of file %s causing write operation to stall”

Cause: Backups are occurring too frequently on this file. Each time a new
backup is started for a file, any writes which have been previously
issued (but not completed) have to be re-issued. If hot backups
are started very, very frequently, it is possible that some writes
will be re-issued repeatedly and never complete.

Action: Increase the interval between begin hot-backup commands for this
file.
//

ORA-00378
ORA-00378, 00000, “buffer pools cannot be created as specified”

Cause: Either the number of buffers or the number of lru latches is
too small to satisfy the specified buffer pool configuration.

Action: Either increase the number of buffers and/or number of lru latches
or configure smaller buffer pools.
//

ORA-00379
ORA-00379, 00000, “no free buffers available in buffer pool %s for block size %sK”

Cause: All buffers in the specified buffer pool for the specified block size
are in use and no free buffers are available.

Action: Increase the number of buffers in the specified pool for the specified
block size
//

ORA-00380
ORA-00380, 00000, “cannot specify db_%sk_cache_size since %sK is the standard block size”

Cause: User specified the parameter db_nk_cache_size (where n is one of
2,4,8,16,32), while the standard block size for this database is
equal to n Kbytes. This is illegal.

Action: Specify the standard block size cache using db_cache_size (DEFAULT
pool) (and db_recycle_cache_size, db_keep_cache_size if additional
buffer pools are required). Do NOT use the corresponding
db_nk_cache_size parameter for the standard block size.
//

ORA-00381
ORA-00381, 00000, “cannot use both new and old parameters for buffer cache size specification”

Cause: User specified one or more of { db_cache_size ,
db_recycle_cache_size, db_keep_cache_size,
db_nk_cache_size (where n is one of 2,4,8,16,32),
db_cache_advice } AND one or more of { db_block_buffers,
buffer_pool_keep , buffer_pool_recycle }. This is illegal.

Action: Use EITHER the old (pre-Oracle_8.2) parameters OR the new
ones. Don’t specify both. If old size parameters are specified in
the parameter file, you may want to replace them with new parameters
since the new parameters can be modified dynamically and allow
you to configure additional caches for additional block sizes.
Cache advisory can only be enabled with the new cache parameters.
//

ORA-00382
ORA-00382, 00000, “%s not a valid block size, valid range [%s..%s]”

Cause: User specified a value for db_nk_cache_size where n is one of
{2, 4, 8, 16, 32}, but nk is not a valid block size for this
platform.

Action: Remove corresponding parameter from the “init.ora” file and
restart the instance.

ORA-00383
ORA-00383, 00000, “DEFAULT cache for blocksize %s cannot be reduced to zero”

Cause: User attempted to reduce db_cache_size to zero, or attempted to
to reduce db_<n>K_cache_size to zero while there were still online
tablespaces with blocksize <n>K. Note that since the SYSTEM tablespace
cannot be taken offline, it is always illegal to set db_cache_size to zero.

Action: Offline any tablespaces with the corresponding blocksize and then
perform the operation again.

ORA-00384
ORA-00384, 00000, “Insufficient memory to grow cache”

Cause: The system could not allocate sufficient memory to grow the
cache to the specified size.

Action: Attempt a smaller increase in the value of the parameter.

ORA-00385
ORA-00385, 00000, “cannot enable Very Large Memory with new buffer cache parameters”

Cause: User specified one or more of { db_cache_size ,
db_recycle_cache_size, db_keep_cache_size,
db_nk_cache_size (where n is one of 2,4,8,16,32) }
AND use_indirect_data_buffers is set to TRUE. This is illegal.

Action: Very Large Memory can only be enabled with the old (pre-Oracle_8.2)
parameters.

ORA-00386
ORA-00386, 00000, “use_indirect_data_buffers not supported”

Cause: The system could not allocate sufficient memory to grow the
cache to the specified size.

Action: Attempt a smaller increase in the value of the parameter.
//

ORA-00390
ORA-00390, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is being cleared, cannot become current log”

Cause: An attempt to switch to a new online log for the redo thread
failed because no reusable log could be found. This log is being
cleared and will be useable when the clearing completes. The
command that began the clearing may have terminated without
completing the clearing.

Action: If the clear command is still executing then wait for its
completion. If it terminated then reissue the clear command, or
drop the log.

ORA-00391
ORA-00391, 00000, “All threads must switch to new log format at the same time”

Cause: An attempt to switch the current log of a single thread is not
allowed because the compatiblity requirements force a new log
format version number. When changing log formats, all threads
must switch to the new format at the same time.

Action: Open the database to cause the coordinated log switch. If that
is not possible then return to the same software version and
compatibility setting last used to open the database.

ORA-00392
ORA-00392, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is being cleared, operation not allowed”

Cause: An operation encountered this online log in the middle of being
cleared. The command that began the clearing may have terminated
without completing the clearing.

Action: If the clear command is still executing then wait for its
completion. If it terminated then reissue the clear command, or
drop the log.

ORA-00393
ORA-00393, 00000, “log %s of thread %s is needed for recovery of offline datafiles”

Cause: Log cannot be cleared because the redo in it is needed to recover
offline datafiles. It has not been archived so there is no
other copy available. If the log is cleared the tablespaces
containing the files will have to be dropped.

Action: Archive the log then repeat the clear command. If archiving is not
possible, and dropping the tablespaces is acceptible, then add the
clause UNRECOVERABLE DATAFILE at the end of the clear command.

ORA-00394
ORA-00394, 00000, “online log reused while attempting to archive it”

Cause: It has been detected that an online log that is being archived
has been reused

Action: Cannot archive the logfile anymore since it has been overwritten

ORA-00395
ORA-00395, 00000, “online logs for the clone database must be renamed”

Cause: A clone database open forces logfile renaming to avoid
overwriting the primary logfiles
*Action Rename the logfiles manually or using the log_file_name_convert
initialization parameter

ORA-00396
ORA-00396, 00000, “error %s required fallback to single-pass recovery”

Cause: The indicated error caused two-pass instance or
crash recovery to fail. Recovery was retried with an
alternate (slower) method to avoid the error.
*Action Correct the cause of the indicated error (also recorded)
so that future instance or crash recovery can succeed with the
two-pass algorithm. This usually requires making more main
memory available to the recovery process.

ORA-00397
ORA-00397, 00000, “instance recovery process terminated with error”

Cause: The foreground process doing instance recovery died.

Action: Check the foreground trace file for the cause of recovery failure.

ORA-00398
ORA-00398, 00000, “abort thread recovery due to reconfiguration”

Cause: Global enqueue service reconfiguration occurred during
instance/crash recovery.

Action: This is used internally, no action is required.

ORA-00399
ORA-00399, 0000, “corrupt change description in redo log”

Cause: A change vector in the redo log failed validation checks.

Action: Do recovery with a good version of the log or do time based
recovery up to the indicated time.

ORA-00400
ORA-00400, 00000, “invalid release value %s for parameter %s”

Cause: The release level given for the specified init parameter is
invalid.

Action: Correct the parameter value in the parameter file and retry.

ORA-00401
ORA-00401, 00000, “the value for parameter %s is not supported by this release”

Cause: The value specified cannot be supported by this release of
the software.

Action: Choose an appropriate value, or remove the parameter value to
use the default value.

ORA-00402
ORA-00402, 00000, “database changes by release %s cannot be used by release %s”

Cause: Changes have been made to the database that require a newer
software release or that violate the compatibility parameters.

Action: Use a version of the software that can understand the changes or
relax the compatibility requirements in the init file.

ORA-00403
ORA-00403, 00000, “%s (%s) is not the same as other instances (%s)”

Cause: Another instance has set the compatible or compatible no
recovery parameters differently than this instance.

Action: Change the parameters of the current instance to match other
instances already running.

ORA-00404
ORA-00404, 00000, “Convert file not found: ‘%s’”

Cause: The file used for converting the database from V7 to V8 could
not be found.

Action: Verify that the migration process has been started on this
database and that the convert filename is accessable.

ORA-00405
ORA-00405, 00000, “compatibility type \”%s\”"

Cause: Reporting a type associated with another error.

Action: See accompanying error

ORA-00406
ORA-00406, 00000, “COMPATIBLE parameter needs to be %s or greater”

Cause: The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is not high
enough to allow the operation. Allowing the command would make
the database incompatible with the release specified by the
current COMPATIBLE parameter.

Action: Shutdown and startup with a higher compatibility setting.

ORA-00407
ORA-00407, 00000, “rolling upgrade from release %s.%s to %s.%s is not allowed”

Cause: Another instance executing software at a different point release
already has the database mounted.

Action: Shutdown all instances then startup with the new software.

ORA-00408
ORA-00408, 00000, “parameter %s is set to TRUE”

Cause: Reporting the parameter that resulted in the compatibility error.

Action: Shutdown and startup with a higher compatibility setting.

ORA-00409
ORA-00409, 00000, “COMPATIBLE needs to be %s or higher to use AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT”

Cause: This is due to migrating from an older release of Oracle with
tablespaces created using AUTO SEGMENT SPACE MANAGEMENT.
To open the database, the COMPATIBLE parameter needs to
be set to the specified value.

Action: Shutdown and startup with the specified compatibility setting.

CREATE DATAFILE, and the size was smaller the the size needed

Action: Create the file with a larger size.

ORA-01137
ORA-01137, 00000, “data file %s is still in the middle of going offline”

Cause: It was not possible to get the lock for a file that is offline when
attempting to bring it online. The most likely cause is that the
lock is still held by the instance that is took it offline.

Action: Wait a bit and try to online the file again.

ORA-01138
ORA-01138, 00000, “database must either be open in this instance or not at all”

Cause: The requested operation can not be done when the database is

ORA-01141
ORA-01141, 00000, “error renaming data file %s – new file ‘%s’ not found”

Cause: An attempt to change a data file’s name in the control file
// failed because no file was found with the new name.

Action: Make sure that the data file has been properly renamed by the
// operating system and retry.

ORA-01142
ORA-01142, 00000, “cannot end online backup – none of the files are in backup”

Cause: None of the files were found to be in online backup when attempting
to end an online backup.

Action: None. Online backup does not need to be ended for this tablespace.

ORA-01143
ORA-01143, 00000, “cannot disable media recovery – file %s needs media recovery”

Cause: An attempt to disable media recovery found a file that needs media
recovery, thus media recovery cannot be disabled.

Action: Recover the offending file or drop the tablespace it belongs to
// and retry this command.

ORA-01144
ORA-01144, 00000, “File size (%s blocks) exceeds maximum of %s blocks”

Cause: Specified file size is larger than maximum allowable size value.

Action: Specify a smaller size.

ORA-01145
ORA-01145, 00000, “offline immediate disallowed unless media recovery enabled”

Cause: ALTER TABLESPACE … OFFLINE IMMEDIATE or ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE
… OFFLINE is only allowed if database is in ARCHIVELOG mode.

Action:Take tablespace offline normally or shutdown abort. Reconsider your
backup strategy. You could do this if you were archiving your logs.

ORA-01146
ORA-01146, 00000, “cannot start online backup – file %s is already in backup”

Cause: When starting an online backup it was noticed that an online backup
was already started for one of the data files.

Action:End the first backup before beginning another.

ORA-01147
ORA-01147, 00000, “SYSTEM tablespace file %s is offline”

Cause: A file belonging to the SYSTEM tablespace has been marked offline
// by the DBA. The database cannot be started until all SYSTEM
// tablespace files are online and openable.

Action: Bring the file online.

ORA-01148
ORA-01148, 00000, “cannot refresh file size for datafile %s”

Cause: An operating system or device error occurred when retrieving the
file’s size. The device on which the file resides may have been
offline.

Action: Restore access to the device.

ORA-01149
ORA-01149, 00000, “cannot shutdown – file %s has online backup set”

Cause: An attempt to shutdown normally found that an online backup is
still in progress.

Action: End the backup of the offending tablespace and retry this command.

ORA-01150
ORA-01150, 00000, “cannot prevent writes – file %s has online backup set”

Cause: An attempt to make a tablespace read only or offline normal found
that an online backup is still in progress. It will be necessary
to write the file header to end the backup, but that would not
be allowed if this command succeeded.

Action: End the backup of the offending tablespace and retry this command.

ORA-01151
ORA-01151, 00000, “use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed”

Cause: Error 1172 occurred.

Action: This is additional information for error 1172.

ORA-01152
ORA-01152, 00000, “file %s was not restored from a sufficiently old backup ”

Cause: An incomplete recovery session was started, but an insufficient
// number of logs were applied to make the database consistent. This
file is still in the future of the last log applied. The most
likely cause of this error is forgetting to restore the file
from a backup before doing incomplete recovery.

Action: Either apply more logs until the database is consistent or
// restore the database file from an older backup and repeat recovery.

ORA-01153
ORA-01153, 00000, “an incompatible media recovery is active”

Cause: Attempted to start an incompatible media recovery or open resetlogs
during media recovery or RMAN backup . Media recovery sessions
are incompatible if they attempt to recover the same data file.
Incomplete media recovery or open resetlogs is incompatible with
any media recovery. Backup or restore by RMAN is incompatible
with open resetlogs

Action: Complete or cancel the other media recovery session or RMAN backup

ORA-01154
ORA-01154, 00000, “database busy. Open, close, mount, and dismount not allowed now”

Cause: Some operation is in progress that expects the opened/mounted state
// of this instance to remain the same.

Action: Wait for the operation to complete then retry. If attempting to
// do a shutdown, SHUTDOWN ABORT will work. If this is a shutdown
of a standby database that is operating in NO DATA LOSS mode, you
must shutdown the primary database first.

ORA-01155
ORA-01155, 00000, “the database is being opened, closed, mounted or dismounted”

Cause: The requested operation needs the instance to be in a particular
// state but the state is being changed.

Action: Wait for the open, close, mount, or dismount to complete then
// retry the operation. If necessary, a SHUTDOWN ABORT will always
// work.

ORA-01156
ORA-01156, 00000, “recovery in progress may need access to files”

Cause: Either media recovery or instance recovery is in progress. It may
// need the files this operation is being applied to.

Action: Wait for recovery to complete.

ORA-01157
ORA-01157, 00000, “cannot identify/lock data file %s – see DBWR trace file”

Cause: The background process was either unable to find one of the data
files or failed to lock it because the file was already in use.
The database will prohibit access to this file but other files will
be unaffected. However the first instance to open the database will
need to access all online data files. Accompanying error from the
operating system describes why the file could not be identified.

Action: Have operating system make file available to database. Then either
open the database or do ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.

ORA-01158
ORA-01158, 00000, “database %s already mounted”

Cause: Another instance has a database by this name mounted.

Action: Find which instance is still running. Perhaps you have not lost
// the control files after all.

ORA-01159
ORA-01159, 00000, “file is not from same database as previous files – wrong database id”

Cause: Not all of the files specified in CREATE CONTROLFILE are from the
// same database. The database ID of this file does not match that
from the first file specified.

Action: Please double check the list of files provided to the CREATE

ORA-01160
ORA-01160, 00000, “file is not a %s”

Cause: The named file in the DATAFILE or LOGFILE section of the CREATE
// CONTROLFILE command does not appear to be as stated.

Action: Please double check the mentioned file.

ORA-01161
ORA-01161, 00000, “database name %s in file header does not match given name of %s”

Cause: The database name given at the command line does not match the
// database name found in the file header.

Action: Chance are good that the database name specified at the command
// line is incorrect. Resolve the descepency, and resubmit the command.
If you are attempting to change the database name, be sure to
use the SET DATABASE option.

ORA-01162
ORA-01162, 00000, “block size %s in file header does not match configured block sizes”

Cause: CREATE CONTROLFILE discovered that the block size for this file
is incompatible with any of the configured cache blocksizes in
the INIT.ORA file.

Action:Configure the appropriate cache for this block size using one of the
various (db_2k_cache_size, db_4k_cache_size, db_8k_cache_size,
db_16k_cache_size, db_32K_cache_size) parameters.

ORA-01163
ORA-01163, 00000, “SIZE clause indicates %s (blocks), but should match header %s”

Cause: The size specified in bytes in the SIZE clause of the CREATE
CONTROLFILE statement does not equate to the number of blocks
recorded in the header.

Action: Specify the correct filename and size ( in bytes ).

ORA-01164
ORA-01164, 00000, “MAXLOGFILES may not exceed %s”

Cause: MAXLOGFILES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGFILES

ORA-01165
ORA-01165, 00000, “MAXDATAFILES may not exceed %s”

Cause: MAXDATAFILES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXDATAFILES

ORA-01166
ORA-01166, 00000, “file number %s is larger than %s (%s)”

Cause: File mentioned in CREATE CONTROLFILE has a file number which is
larger than that specified for MAXDATAFILES or MAXLOGFILES.

Action: Increase the maximum specified on the command line.

ORA-01167
ORA-01167, 00000, “two files are the same file/group number or the same file”

Cause: There is an overlap of file numbers in the files specified on
// the command line or the same file is specified twice. If they are
not the exact same file then one is likely to be a backup of the
other. If they are two members of the same log they must be specified
together in a group file spec. This message will also appear if
the same control file appears more than once in the control_files
parameter in the init.ora file. If this happens, check for
additional error messages.

Action: Confirm that the file mentioned is not a repeat of a file already
// mentioned in the command. If they are different files then omit the
earlier backup. If they are members of the same log, insure they are
in the same group file specification. If this message appears because
of a duplicate control file, check the control_files parameter in the
init.ora file and see if a file is specified more than once.
If all files names appear to be unique, check to make sure that the
actual control files themselves are unique. For example, in UNIX
check for a symbolic or a hard link to another control file in the list.

ORA-01168
ORA-01168, 00000, “physical block size %s does not match size %s of other members”

Cause: The file is located on a device with a different physical block
size than the other members in the group

Action: Use a physical device with matching block size.

ORA-01169
ORA-01169, 00000, “DATAFILE number 1 not found. Must be present”

Cause: Datafile number 1 was not specified in a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

Action: Locate datafile number 1 and resubmit the CREATE CONTROLFILE
// command.

ORA-01170
ORA-01170, 00000, “file not found ‘%s’”

Cause: ALL datafiles and, if NORESETLOGS, ALL logfiles MUST be
// accessible by the process for CREATE CONTROLFILE.

Action: The file specified probably contains a typing error. Double
// check command and the existance of all files and then resubmit.

ORA-01171
ORA-01171, 00000, “datafile %s going offline due to error advancing checkpoint”

Cause: The checkpoint in the file header could not be advanced. See
accompanying errors for the reason. The datafile will be taken
offline the same as for a write error of a data block.

Action: See accompanying errors for details. Restore access to the file,
do media recovery, and bring it back online.

ORA-01172
ORA-01172, 00000, “recovery of thread %s stuck at block %s of file %s”

Cause: Crash recovery or instance recovery could not apply a change to a
block because it was not the next change. This can happen if the
block was corrupted and then repaired during recovery.

Action: Do a RECOVER DATAFILE for the file containing the block. If this
does not resolve the problem then restore the file from a backup
and recover it.

ORA-01173
ORA-01173, 00000, “data dictionary indicates missing data file from system tablespace”

Cause: Either the database has been recovered to a point in time in the
future of the control file or a datafile from the system tablespace was
omitted from the create control file command previously issued.

Action: For the former problem you need to recover the database from a
more recent control file. For the latter problem, simply recreate the
control file checking to be sure that you include all the datafiles in
the system tablespace.

ORA-01174
ORA-01174, 00000, “DB_FILES is %s buts needs to be %s to be compatible”

Cause: The maximum number of database files supported by this instance
is not the same as for the other instances. All instances must
be able to open all the files any instance can open.

Action: Change the value of the DB_FILES parameter to be compatible

ORA-01175
ORA-01175, 00000, “data dictionary has more than the %s files allowed by the instance”

Cause: The data dictionary is found to have more files than that which can
be supported by this instance.

Action: Shutdown the instance and restart with a larger number of db_files

ORA-01176
ORA-01176, 00000, “data dictionary has more than the %s files allowed by the controlfie”

Cause: After a CREATE CONTROLFILE, the data dictionary was found to have
more datafiles than that supported by the control file.

Action: Recreate the control file with a larger MAXDATAFILES.

ORA-01177
ORA-01177, 00000, “data file does not match dictionary – probably old incarnation”

Cause: When comparing the control file with the data dictionary after
a CREATE CONTROLFILE or OPEN RESETLOGS, it was noted that this
datafile was inconsistent with the dictionary. Most likely the
file is a backup of a file that was dropped from the database,
and the same file number was reused for a new file. It may also
be that an incomplete recovery stopped at a time when this file
number was used for another datafile.

Action: Do a CREATE CONTROLFILE with the correct file or none at all.

ORA-01178
ORA-01178, 00000, “file %s created before last CREATE CONTROLFILE, cannot recreate”

Cause: Attempted to use ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE to recreate a
datafile that existed at the last CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
The information needed to recreate the file was lost with the
control file that existed when the file was added to the database.

Action: Find a backup of the file, and recover it. Do incomplete recovery
to time before file was originally created.

ORA-01179
ORA-01179, 00000, “file %s does not exist”

Cause: During datafile recovery, a file was listed which was not part
for the database.

Action: Recheck the datafile name. Remember to use double quotes at the
SQLDBA command line and remember that the file name is translated in the
environment of the SQLDBA.

ORA-01180
ORA-01180, 00000, “can not create datafile 1″

Cause: Attempting to create datafile 1 using ALTER DATABASE CREATE
DATAFILE.

Action: Recover file from a backup or recreate database.

ORA-01181
ORA-01181, 00000, “file %s created before last known RESETLOGS, cannot recreate”

Cause: Attempted to use ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE to recreate a
datafile that existed before the last known RESETLOGS.

Action: Find a backup of the file, and recover it. Do incomplete recovery
to time before file was originally created.

ORA-01182
ORA-01182, 00000, “cannot create database file %s – file is in use or recovery”

Cause: Attempted to use ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE to recreate a
datafile that is online in an open instance or is being recovered.

Action: Close database in all instances and end all recovery sessions

ORA-01183
ORA-01183, 00000, “cannot mount database in SHARED mode”

Cause: Some other instance has the database mounted exclusive.

Action: Shutdown other instance then mount shared.

ORA-01184
ORA-01184, 00000, “logfile group %s already exists”

Cause: An ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE command specified a log number for
the new log which is already in use.

Action: Specify a different logfile number, or let the database choose
an unused value.

ORA-01185
ORA-01185, 00000, “logfile group number %s is invalid”

Cause: An ALTER DATABASE ADD LOGFILE command specified a log number for
the new log which is too large.

Action: Specify a correct logfile number.

ORA-01186
ORA-01186, 00000, “file %s failed verification tests”

Cause: The data file did not pass the checks to insure it is part of the
database. See the accompanying error messages for the reason the
verification failed.

Action: Make the correct file available to the database. Then, either open
the database, or execute ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.

ORA-01187
ORA-01187, 00000, “cannot read from file %s because it failed verification tests”

Cause: The data file did not pass the checks to insure it is part of the
database. Reads are not allowed until it is verified.

Action: Make the correct file available to the database. Then, either open
the database, or execute ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.

ORA-01188
ORA-01188, 00000, “Block size %s in header does not match physical block size %s”

Cause: A log file member given to CREATE CONTROLFILE is on a physical
device that has a different block size than the device originally
used to create the log.

Action: Move the file to a device with the correct block size or use the
RESETLOGS option to CREATE CONTROLFILE.

ORA-01189
ORA-01189, 00000, “file is from a different RESETLOGS than previous files”

Cause: In a CREATE CONTROLFILE command either this file or all previous
files were backups from before the last RESETLOGS. This may also
occur if this is a file that is offline and has been offline since
before the last RESETLOGS.

Action: If the file was taken offline normal before the last RESETLOGS,
and is still offline, omit it from the CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
Rename and online the file after the database is open. Otherwise
find the version of the mentioned file consistent with the rest
of the datafiles and resubmit the command.

ORA-01190
ORA-01190, 00000, “control file or data file %s is from before the last RESETLOGS”

Cause: Attempting to use a data file when the log reset information in
the file does not match the control file. Either the data file
or the control file is a backup that was made before the most
recent ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.

Action: Restore file from a more recent backup.

ORA-01191
ORA-01191, 00000, “file %s is already offline – cannot do a normal offline”

Cause: When attempting to do a normal tablespace offline it was discovered
that one of the files in the tablespace was already offline.

Action: Either bring the datafile online first, or use another tablespace
offline option.

ORA-01192
ORA-01192, 00000, “must have at least one enabled thread”

Cause: You must specify at least two logfiles from at least one thread
at the create contolfile command line.

Action: Find the missing logfiles and resubmit the command with the newly
found logfiles included in the command line.

ORA-01193
ORA-01193, 00000, “file %s is not the same file seen at start of recovery”

Cause: A different copy of the file was accessed the last time media
recovery looked at the file header. A backup of the file was
restored or the meaning of the file name changed during recovery.

Action:Ensure the correct file is available, then retry recovery.

ORA-01194
ORA-01194, 00000, “file %s needs more recovery to be consistent”

Cause: An incomplete recovery session was started, but an insufficient
// number of logs were applied to make the file consistent. The
reported file was not closed cleanly when it was last opened by
the database. It must be recovered to a time when it was not being
updated. The most likely cause of this error is forgetting to
restore the file from a backup before doing incomplete recovery.

Action: Either apply more logs until the file is consistent or restore
// the file from an older backup and repeat recovery.

ORA-01195
ORA-01195, 00000, “online backup of file %s needs more recovery to be consistent”

Cause: An incomplete recovery session was started, but an insufficient
// number of logs were applied to make the file consistent. The
reported file is an online backup which must be recovered to the
time the backup ended.

Action: Either apply more logs until the file is consistent or
// restore the database files from an older backup and repeat recovery.

ORA-01196
ORA-01196, 00000, “file %s is inconsistent due to a failed media recovery session”

Cause: The file was being recovered but the recovery did not terminate
normally. This left the file in an inconsistent state. No more
recovery was successfully completed on this file.

Action:Either apply more logs until the file is consistent or restore
// the backup again and repeat recovery.

ORA-01197
ORA-01197, 00000, “thread %s only contains one log”

Cause: During CREATE CONTROLFILE all threads represented in the logs
must be represented by at least two logs. A “last log” and a second
log. The named thread does not contain two such logs.

Action: Either find more logs from the named thread. Or use the
RESETLOGS option to CREATE CONTROLFILE.

ORA-01198
ORA-01198, 00000, “must specify size for log file if RESETLOGS”

Cause: File sizes must be given for all logfiles if doing a CREATE
CONTROLFILE with the RESETLOGS option.

Action: Resubmit the command with the appropriate logfile size.

ORA-01199
ORA-01199, 00000, “file %s is not in online backup mode”

Cause: Attempting to end an online backup for a file that is not in online
backup.

Action: Do not enter command since it is not needed.

ORA-01200
ORA-01200, 00000, “actual file size of %s is smaller than correct size of %s blocks”

Cause: The size of the file as returned by the operating system is smaller
than the size of the file as indicated in the file header and the
control file. Somehow the file has been truncated. Maybe it is the
result of a half completed copy.

Action: Restore a good copy of the data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01201
ORA-01201, 00000, “file %s header failed to write correctly”

Cause: An I/O error was reported for the file header. The error was
trapped and a second attempt will be made.

Action: The file probably will require recovery. Further error messages
will indicate what is needed.

ORA-01202
ORA-01202, 00000, “wrong incarnation of this file – wrong creation time”

Cause: The creation time in the file header is not the same as the
creation time in the control file. This is probably a copy of a
file that was dropped.

Action: Restore a current copy of the data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01203
ORA-01203, 00000, “wrong incarnation of this file – wrong creation SCN”

Cause: The creation SCN in the file header is not the same as the
creation SCN in the control file. This is probably a copy of a
file that was dropped.

Action: Restore a current copy of the data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01204
ORA-01204, 00000, “file number is %s rather than %s – wrong file”

Cause: The file number in the file header is not correct. This is probably
a restored backup of the wrong file, but from the same database.

Action: Restore a copy of the correct data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01205
ORA-01205, 00000, “not a data file – type number in header is %s”

Cause: The file type in the header is not correct for a data file. This
is probably a log file or control file. If the type is not a small
non-zero positive number then the header is corrupted.

Action: Restore a copy of the correct data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01206
ORA-01206, 00000, “file is not part of this database – wrong database id”

Cause: The database ID in the file header does not match the database id
in the control file. The file may be from a different database, or
it may not be a database file at all. If the database was rebuilt,
this may be a file from before the rebuild. Note that if you see
this error when the file is supposed to be plugged in from another
database via the Transportable Tablespace feature, it means the
database ID in the file header does not match the one expected.

Action: Restore a copy of the correct data file and do recovery as needed.

ORA-01207
ORA-01207, 00000, “file is more recent than control file – old control file”

Cause: The control file change sequence number in the data file is
greater than the number in the control file. This implies that
the wrong control file is being used. Note that repeatedly causing
this error can make it stop happening without correcting the real
problem. Every attempt to open the database will advance the
control file change sequence number until it is great enough.

Action: Use the current control file or do backup control file recovery to
make the control file current. Be sure to follow all restrictions
on doing a backup control file recovery.

ORA-01208
ORA-01208, 00000, “data file is an old version – not accessing current version”

Cause: The checkpoint in the file header is less recent than in the
control file. If opening a database that is already open by another
instance, or if another instance just brought this file online,
the file accessed by this instance is probably a different version.
Otherwise, a backup of the file probably was restored
while the file was in use.

Action: Make the correct file available to the database. Then, either open
the database, or execute ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.

ORA-01209
ORA-01209, 00000, “data file is from before the last RESETLOGS”

Cause: The reset log data in the file header does not match the
control file. If the database is closed or the file is offline,
the backup is old because it was taken before the last ALTER
DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS command. If opening a database that is
open already by another instance, or if another instance just
brought this file online, the file accessed by this instance is
probably a different version. Otherwise, a backup of the file
probably was restored while the file was in use.

Action: Make the correct file available to the database. Then, either open
the database, or execute ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DATAFILES.

ORA-01210
ORA-01210, 00000, “data file header is media corrupt”

Cause: The file header block is internally inconsistent. The beginning
of the block has a header with a checksum and other data for
insuring the consistancy of the block. It is possible that
the last disk write did not operate correctly. The most likely
problem is that this is not a datafile for any database.

Action: Have operating system make correct file available to database.
If the trace file dump indicates that only the checksum is wrong,
restore from a backup and do media recovery.

ORA-01211
ORA-01211, 00000, “Oracle7 data file is not from migration to Oracle8″

Cause: The file is not a copy of the file LAST used under Oracle7. This
datafile is either a backup taken from before the migration, or
the database was opened by Oracle7 after the migration utility was
run. When converting a database from Oracle7 to Oracle8, the migration
program MUST be the LAST utility to access the database under Oracle7.
Only the datafiles that were current when the migration was done
may be accessed by Oracle8.

Action: Have operating system make correct data file available to database,
or repeat the Oracle7 to Oracle8 migration. Make sure that
database is NOT opened after migration utility is run.

ORA-01212
ORA-01212, 00000, “MAXLOGMEMBERS may not exceed %s”

Cause: MAXLOGMEMBERS specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGMEMBERS

ORA-01213
ORA-01213, 00000, “MAXINSTANCES may not exceed %s”

Cause: MAXINSTANCES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXINSTANCES

ORA-01214
ORA-01214, 00000, “MAXLOGHISTORY may not exceed %s”

Cause: MAXLOGHISTORY specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGHISTORY

ORA-01215
ORA-01215, 00000, “enabled thread %s is missing after CREATE CONTROLFILE”

Cause: A CREATE CONTROLFILE statement was given which did not
list all the enabled threads for the database.

Action: Reissue the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, including all enabled
threads.

ORA-01216
ORA-01216, 00000, “thread %s is expected to be disabled after CREATE CONTROLFILE”

Cause: A thread that was given during CREATE CONTROLFILE is enabled, but
the datafiles indicate that it should be disabled. This is
probably because the logs supplied to the CREATE CONTROLFILE
are old (from before the disabling of the thread).

Action: This thread is not required to run the database. The CREATE
CONTROLFILE statement can be reissued without the problem thread,
and, if desired, the thread can be recreated after the database
is open.

ORA-01217
ORA-01217, 00000, “logfile member belongs to a different logfile group”

Cause: A member of a multiple-member logfile group specified in a
CREATE CONTROLFILE is not part of the same group as previous
members.

Action: Group together the correct members for the CREATE CONTROLFILE
command.

ORA-01218
ORA-01218, 00000, “logfile member is not from the same point-in-time”

Cause: A member of a multiple-member logfile group is from a different
point in time. One of the members specified may be an older
(backup) copy of the log.

Action: Find the correct version of the log, or leave it out of the
CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

ORA-01219
ORA-01219, 00000, “database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only”

Cause: A query was issued against an object not recognized as a fixed
table or fixed view before the database has been opened.

Action: Re-phrase the query to include only fixed objects, or open the
database.

ORA-01220
ORA-01220, 00000, “file based sort illegal before database is open”

Cause: A query issued against a fixed table or view required a temporary
segment for sorting before the database was open. Only in-memory
sorts are supported before the database is open.

Action: Re-phrase the query to avoid a large sort, increase the values
of the SORT_AREA_SIZE and/or SORT_AREA_RETAINED_SIZE
initialization parameters to enable the sort to be done in memory.

ORA-01221
ORA-01221, 00000, “data file %s is not the same file to a background process”

Cause: When the database writer opens the data file, it is accessing a
different physical file than the foreground doing the recovery.
The timestamp set in the file header by the foreground was not
found by the background. It may be that the background process
could not read the file at all.

Action: Look in the DBWR trace file for the error it recieved when
attempting to read the file header. Reconfigure the operating
system as needed to have the file name successfully access the
same file when opened by a background process.

ORA-01222
ORA-01222, 00000, “MAXINSTANCES of %s requires MAXLOGFILES be at least %s, not %s”

Cause: Attemping to create a database or control file that does not have
room for at least two logs per thread of redo. A thread of redo
must have two online logs in order to be enabled. It does not make
sense to allow more redo threads than can be supported by the logs.

Action: Either reduce the MAXINSTANCES argument or increase MAXLOGFILES.

ORA-01223
ORA-01223, 00000, “RESETLOGS must be specified to set a new database name”

Cause: The SET database name option was specified to CREATE CONTROLFILE,
but RESETLOGS was not specified. The database name can only be
changed when opening the database with RESETLOGS.

Action: Either add the RESETLOGS option or drop the SET option to
CREATE CONTROLFILE.

ORA-01224
ORA-01224, 00000, “group number in header %s does not match GROUP %s”

Cause: Group number specified at CREATE CONTROLFILE does not match the
group number stored in the header. Most likely the specification
is wrong.

Action: Omit the GROUP option or give the correct one.

ORA-01225
ORA-01225, 00000, “thread number %s is greater than MAXINSTANCES %s”

Cause: The log is for a thread greater than the MAXINSTANCES argument.

Action:Increase the value for MAXINSTANCES and resubmit the command.

ORA-01226
ORA-01226, 00000, “file header of log member is inconsistent with other members”

Cause: The log file member in the accompanying error is for the same group
as the previous members, but other fields in the header are
different. Either a file header is corrupted, or some file is a
member of a deleted log.

Action: Find the correct log member or omit this member from the command.

ORA-01227
ORA-01227, 00000, “log %s is inconsistent with other logs”

Cause: The log file in the accompanying error is inconsistent with the
contents of other logs given in the CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
Either a file header is corrupted, or some file is an old copy
rather than the current version. The problem may not be with the
log listed since all that can be detected is that there is an
inconsistancy. All log files listed in the command must be the
current versions of the online logs.

Action: Find the correct online logs or use the RESETLOGS option.

ORA-01228
ORA-01228, 00000, “SET DATABASE option required to install seed database”

Cause: The SET DATABASE option was not included in the CREATE CONTROLFILE
command when installing a seed database. The database does not have
a database ID because it is intended to be installed at multiple
sites, and each site needs to be a different database with its own
database id. Both the SET DATABASE and RESETLOGS options must be
specified to create the control file for this database.

Action: Resubmit command with the SET DATABASE and RESETLOGS options.

ORA-01229
ORA-01229, 00000, “data file %s is inconsistent with logs”

Cause: The data file in the accompanying error is inconsistent with the
contents of the logs given in the CREATE CONTROLFILE command.
The most likely cause is that one or more of the online logs
was missing from the command. It is also possible that one or
more of the logs is an old copy rather than the current version.
All online log files must be listed in the command and must be the
current versions of the online logs.

Action: Find the correct online logs or use the RESETLOGS option.

ORA-01230
ORA-01230, 00000, “cannot make read only – file %s is offline”

Cause: An attempt to make a tablespace read only found that one of its
files is offline.

Action: Bring the file online and retry this command.

ORA-01231
ORA-01231, 00000, “cannot make read write – file %s is offline”

Cause: An attempt to make a tablespace read write found that one of its
files is offline.

Action: Bring the file online and retry this command.

ORA-01232
ORA-01232, 00000, “cannot start online backup – file %s is being made read-only”

Cause: An attempt to start an online backup found that one of the files is
in transition to read-only mode.

Action: Wait for the transition to complete and then retry the command, if
this is an ALTER DATABASE BEGIN BACKUP command, or take the backup
without any begin or end commands, if this is an ALTER TABLESPACE
BEGIN BACKUP command.

ORA-01233
ORA-01233, 00000, “file %s is read only – cannot recover using backup control file”

Cause: An attempt to do media recovery using a backup control file found
that one of the files is marked read only. Read only files do not
normally need to be recovered, but recovery with a backup
control file must recover all online files.

Action: If the file really is read only, take it offline before the
recovery, and bring the read only tablespace online after the
database is open. If the file does need recovery use a control file
from the time the file was read-write. If the correct control file
is not available, use CREATE CONTROLFILE to make one.

ORA-01234
ORA-01234, 00000, “cannot end backup of file %s – file is in use or recovery”

Cause: Attempted to end an online backup of file when the file is busy.
Some operation such as recovery or rename may be active, or there
may still be some instance that has the database open with this
file online.

Action: If there is an instance with the database open then the backup
can be ended there by using the ALTER TABLESPACE command. Otherwise
wait for the completion of the other operation.

ORA-01235
ORA-01235, 00000, “END BACKUP failed for %s file(s) and succeeded for %s”

Cause: One or more of the files in an end backup command failed. Some other
files given in the same command may have succeeded.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for the reason the backups
could not be ended. Any files not listed in the error messages were
successful.

ORA-01236
ORA-01236, 00000, “Error %s occurred during initialization of file header access”

Cause: The indicated error occurred while doing initialization
processing of file headers.

Action: The error indicated should be corrected. An attempt is made to
recover from this error by using a slower access algorithm.

ORA-01237
ORA-01237, 00000, “cannot extend datafile %s”

Cause: An operating system error occurred during the resize.

Action: Fix the cause of the operating system error and retry the command.

ORA-01238
ORA-01238, 00000, “cannot shrink datafile %s”

Cause: An operating system error occurred during the resize.

Action: The error is ignored, operation continues normally.

ORA-01239
ORA-01239, 00000, “database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode to use external cache”

Cause: An online file uses an external cache, but the database is in
NOARCHIVELOG mode. Since an external cache may require media
recovery this can not be allowed.

Action: Change database to be in ARCHIVELOG mode or do not use an
external cache.

ORA-01240
ORA-01240, 00000, “too many data files to add in one command”

Cause: The command specifies adding more data files than can be done in
one command. It is necessary to fit all the file names into one
log entry, but that would make the entry too large.

Action: If this is a CREATE TABLESPACE command, create with fewer files
then add the other files later. If this is an ADD DATAFILE command,
break it up into multiple commands.

ORA-01241
ORA-01241, 00000, “an external cache has died”

Cause: The external cache may have been restarted.

Action: Take the file mentioned in the error stack offline, perform media
recovery, bring the file online, and retry the attempted
operation. You may also restart all instances to make sure
they access all data files through consistent external caches.

ORA-01242
ORA-01242, 00000, “data file suffered media failure: database in NOARCHIVELOG mode”

Cause: The database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode and a database file was
detected as inaccessible due to media failure.

Action: Restore accessibility to the file mentioned in the error stack
and restart the instance.

ORA-01243
ORA-01243, 00000, “system tablespace file suffered media failure”

Cause: A system tablespace file was detected as inaccessible due to
media failure.

Action: Restore accessibility to the file mentioned in the error stack
and restart the instance.

ORA-01244
ORA-01244, 00000, “unnamed datafile(s) added to control file by media recovery”

Cause: Media recovery with a backup control file or a control file that
was rebuilt, encountered the creation of a datafile that was not
in the control file. An entry has been added to the control file
for the new datafiles, but with the file name UNNAMEDnnnn, where
nnnn is the file number. Attached errors describe the file names
that were originally used to create the files.

Action: Rename the files to valid file names and resume recovery. If
necessary the command ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE may be used
to create a file suitable for recovery and do the rename. If the
file is not going to be recovered then take it offline with the
FOR DROP option.

ORA-01245
ORA-01245, 00000, “offline file %s will be lost if RESETLOGS is done”

Cause: Attempting to do an OPEN RESETLOGS with a file that will be lost
because it is offline. The file was not taken offline with the
FOR DROP option.

Action: Either bring the file online and recover it, or take it offline
with the FOR DROP option.

ORA-01246
ORA-01246, 00000, “recovering files through TSPITR of tablespace %s”

Cause: The files named in the accompanying errors are backups that were
made before a tablespace point in time recovery of this tablespace.
They cannot be recovered to a time after the point in time
recovery.

Action: Restore more recent backups and recover them.

ORA-01247
ORA-01247, 00000, “database recovery through TSPITR of tablespace %s”

Cause: Recovery of the whole database encountered redo indicating there
was a point in time recovery of the tablespace. The new version
of the files in the tablespace should be included in the recovery,
but that was not done.

Action: If the tablespace should not be recovered, take its file offline
for drop. If it should be recovered, then restore or rename as
needed and restart the recovery.

ORA-01248
ORA-01248, 00000, “file %s was created in the future of incomplete recovery”

Cause: Attempting to do a RESETLOGS open with a file entry in the
control file that was originally created after the UNTIL time
of the incomplete recovery.
Allowing such an entry may hide the version of the file that
is needed at this time. The file number may be in use for
a different file which would be lost if the RESETLOGS was allowed.

Action: If more recovery is desired then apply redo until the creation
time of the file is reached. If the file is not wanted and the
same file number is not in use at the stop time of the recovery,
then the file can be taken offline with the FOR DROP option.
Otherwise a different control file is needed to allow the RESETLOGS.
Another backup can be restored and recovered, or a control file can
be created via CREATE CONTROLFILE.

ORA-01249
ORA-01249, 00000, “archiving not allowed in a clone database”

Cause: Attempting to archive an online redo log or enable archiving
for a clone database.

Action: Do not attempt to archive from a clone. The archive log destination
could easily be the same as the primary database destroying its
archived logs. If archiving is needed then recreate database as
not a clone.

ORA-01250
ORA-01250, 00000, “Error %s occurred during termination of file header access”

Cause: The indicated error occurred while terminating the
processing of file headers. The error was other than a write
error.

Action: The indicated error should be corrected.

ORA-01251
ORA-01251, 00000, “Unknown File Header Version read for file number %s”

Cause: Read of the file header returned a record but its version cannot
be identified. Either the header has been corrupted, or the file
is not a valid database file.

Action: Have the operating system make the correct file available to
the database, or recover the file.

ORA-01252
ORA-01252, 00000, “cannot prevent writes – file %s in recovery manager backup”

Cause: An attempt to make a tablespace read only or offline normal found
that a recovery manager proxy backup is in progress. If the file
is made offline or read-only, then the file header cannot be
updated when the backup is complete.

Action: Wait for the Recovery Manager backup to complete and retry this
command.

ORA-01253
ORA-01253, 00000, “cannot start online backup – file %s in recovery manager backup”

Cause: The specified file is being backed up by Recovery Manager.

Action: Wait for the Recovery Manager proxy backup to complete before
starting another backup.

ORA-01254
ORA-01254, 00000, “cannot end online backup – file %s in recovery manager backup”

Cause: The specified file is being backed up by Recovery Manager.

Action: Wait for the Recovery Manager proxy backup to complete. Recovery
Manager backup mode cannot be initiated or terminated manually.

ORA-01255
ORA-01255, 00000, “cannot shutdown – file %s in recovery manager backup”

Cause: An attempt to shutdown normally found that a Recovery Manager
backup is still in progress.

Action: Wait for the Recovery Manager proxy backup to complete and retry
this command.

ORA-01256
ORA-01256, 00000, “error in locking database file %s”

Cause: The file is in use by another database instance.

Action: Determine which database instance legitimately owns the file.

ORA-01257
ORA-01257, 00000, “cannot reuse database file %s, unknown file size”

Cause: The size of the raw partion cannot be determined

Action: Add the datafile/logfile by specifying the size parameter.

ORA-01258
ORA-01258, 00000, “unable to delete temporary file %s”

Cause: A DROP TABLESPACE INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES
or ALTER DATABASE TEMPFILE DROP INCLUDING DATAFILES
operation was not able to delete a temporary file in the
database.

Action: Subsequent errors describe the operating system error that
prevented the file deletion. Fix the problem, if possible, and
manually purge the file.

ORA-01259
ORA-01259, 00000, “unable to delete datafile %s”

Cause: A DROP TABLESPACE INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES operation
was not able to delete a datafile in the tablespace.

Action: Subsequent errors describe the operating system error that
prevented the file deletion. Fix the problem, if possible, and
manually purge the file.

ORA-01260
ORA-01260, 00000, “warning: END BACKUP succeeded but some files found not to be in backup mode”

Cause: END BACKUP completed successfully for all files that were in online
backup mode. However one or more modifiable files were found not
to be in online backup mode. Backup of those files (if it was done)
can be invalid and, if restored, can result in an inconsistent
database.

Action: Check the alert log for a list of the files that were found not
to be in backup mode. If there is a possibility that those files
have been modified during online backup, then replace their
backups with new ones.

ORA-01261
ORA-01261, 00000, “Parameter %s destination string cannot be translated”

Cause: The value for the specified parameter contained a destination
string that could not be translated.

Action: Use a valid destination string in the specified parameter.

ORA-01262
ORA-01262, 00000, “Stat failed on a file destination directory”

Cause: Unable to get information about an Oracle managed files
destination directory.

Action: Check the permissions on the directory or use a different
directory name.

ORA-01263
ORA-01263, 00000, “Name given for file destination directory is invalid”

Cause: The name given for an Oracle managed files destination
does not correspond to a directory.

Action: Use a different name.

ORA-01264
ORA-01264, 00000, “Unable to create %s file name”

Cause: Unable to create an Oracle managed file name.

Action: Check previous error messages for the reason Oracle
was unable to create the file name. Take corrective
action, if possible, and retry the command.

ORA-01265
ORA-01265, 00000, “Unable to delete %s %s”

Cause: An error prevented the file from being deleted.

Action: See the subsequent error messsages that describe the operating
system error that prevented the file from being deleted. If
possible, fix the problem and manually delete the file.

ORA-01266
ORA-01266, 00000, “Unable to create unique file name”

Cause: Unable to create a unique file name for an Oracle managed file.
Oracle tried several names but each file name was already in use
in the default destination directory for the file type.

Action: Retry the operation. If that fails, also, it may be
necessary to change the default destination directory for
the file type and then retry.

ORA-01267
ORA-01267, 00000, “Failure getting date/time”

Cause: Could not get date/time when trying to create unique
file name.

Action: Internal error – contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-01268
ORA-01268, 00000, “invalid TEMPFILE clause for alter of permanent TABLESPACE”

Cause: A TEMPFILE clause was specified for an ALTER TABLESPACE for
a permanent tablespace.

Action: Retry with a DATAFILE clause.

Cause: During ALTER or DROP ROLLBACK SEGMENT, the specified
// rollback segment name is unknown.

Action: Use the correct rollback segment name.

ORA-01535
ORA-01535, 00000, “rollback segment ‘%s’ already exists or given name has prefix _SYSSMU”

Cause: Specified rollback segment already exists or given name starts with
_SYSSMU.

Action: Use a different name. Note that _SYSSMU is an illegal prefix to
an RBU segment.

ORA-01536
ORA-01536, 00000, “space quota exceeded for tablespace ‘%s’”

Cause: The space quota for the segment owner in the tablespace has
been exhausted and the operation attempted the creation of a
new segment extent in the tablespace.

Action: Either drop unnecessary objects in the tablespace to reclaim
space or have a privileged user increase the quota on this
tablespace for the segment owner.

ORA-01537
ORA-01537, 00000, “cannot add file ‘%s’ – file already part of database”

Cause: During CREATE or ALTER TABLESPACE, a file being added is already
// part of the database.

Action: Use a different file name.

ORA-01538
ORA-01538, 00000, “failed to acquire any rollback segment”

Cause: Failed to acquire any rollback segment during startup in shared mode

Action: Startup in exclusive mode to create one more public segment or
// specify available private segments in the INIT.ORA parameter
// rollback_segments_required, then startup in shared mode

ORA-01539
ORA-01539, 00000, “tablespace ‘%s’ is not online”

Cause: Failed to either make a tablespace read only or offline because
it is not online. A tblespace must be online before it can
become read only or offline normal.

Action: Check the status of the tablespace. Use IMMEDIATE or TEMPORARY
options to force all files offline. Bring the tablespace online
before making it read only.

ORA-01540
ORA-01540, 00000, “tablespace ‘%s’ is not offline”

Cause: Failed to bring a tablespace online because it is not offline

Action: Check the status of the tablespace

ORA-01541
ORA-01541, 00000, “system tablespace cannot be brought offline; shut down if necessary”

Cause: Tried to allocate space in an offline tablespace

Action: Bring the tablespace online or create the object in other
tablespace

ORA-01543
ORA-01543, 00000, “tablespace ‘%s’ already exists”

Cause: Tried to create a tablespace which already exists

Action: Use a different name for the new tablespace

ORA-01544
ORA-01544, 00000, “cannot drop system rollback segment”

Cause: Tried to drop system rollback segment

Action: None

ORA-01545
ORA-01545, 00000, “rollback segment ‘%s’ specified not available”

Cause: Either:
1) An attempt was made to bring a rollback segment online that is
unavailable during startup; for example, the rollback segment
is in an offline tablespace.
2) An attempt was made to bring a rollback segment online that is
already online. This is because the rollback segment is
specified twice in the ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS parameter in the
initialization parameter file or the rollback segment is already
online by another instance.
3) An attempt was made to drop a rollback segment that is
currently online.
4) An attempt was made to alter a rollback segment that is
currently online to use unlimited extents.
5) An attempt was made to online a rollback segment that is
corrupted. This is because the rollback is specified in
_corrupted_rollback_segments parameter in initialization
parameter file.

Action: Either:
1) Make the rollback segment available; for example, bring an
offline tablespace online.
2) Remove the name from the ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS parameter if the name
is a duplicate or if another instance has already acquired the
rollback segment.
3) Bring the rollback segment offline first. This may involve
waiting for the active transactions to finish, or, if the
rollback segment needs recovery, discover which errors are
holding up the rolling back of the transactions and take
appropriate actions.
4) Same as 3).
5) Remove the name from the _corrupted_rollback_segments parameter.

ORA-01546
ORA-01546, 00000, “tablespace contains active rollback segment ‘%s’”

Cause: Tried to make a tablespace that contains active rollback segment(s)
// offline or read only

Action: Shutdown instances that use the active rollback segments in the
// tablespace and then make the tablespace offline or read only

ORA-01547
ORA-01547, 00000, “warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below”

Cause: Media recovery with one of the incomplete recovery options ended
// without error. However, if the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS command
were attempted now, it would fail with the specified error.
The most likely cause of this error is forgetting to restore one or
more datafiles from a sufficiently old backup before executing the
incomplete recovery.

Action: Rerun the incomplete media recovery using different datafile
backups, a different control file, or different stop criteria.

ORA-01548
ORA-01548, 00000, “active rollback segment ‘%s’ found, terminate dropping tablespace”

happen when attempting any data modification outside of the system
tablespace. Only the system rollback segment can be online in a
clone database.

Action: Create one or more private/public segment(s), shutdown and then
// startup again. May need to modify the INIT.ORA parameter
// rollback_segments to acquire private rollback segment. If this is
a clone database being used for tablspace point in time recovery
then this operation is not allowed. If the non-system tablespace
has AUTO segment space management, then create an undo tablespace.

specified.

Action: Specify a smaller MINEXTENTS value.

ORA-01571
ORA-01571, 00000, “redo version %s incompatible with ORACLE version %s”

Cause: This software version can not read the current redo logs, and
either crash recovery is required or there are offline database
files that need media recovery. If a file name is listed then
it needs media recovery.

Action: Shutdown and startup using the compatible software. Do any required
media recovery, and open the database. Shutdown and then startup
// using current software. If the file is going to be dropped then
take it offline with the DROP option to skip this check.

of process crash.

Action: Check the status of rollback segment in undo$ or dba_rollback_segs

ORA-01609
ORA-01609, 00000, “log %s is the current log for thread %s – cannot drop members”

Cause: A member of the current log for a thread cannot be dropped.

Action: If the thread is opened, request a log switch by the instance
that is using it. If it is not open, disable the thread, manually
archive the log, or clear it.

ORA-01610
ORA-01610, 00000, “recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done”

Cause: Either an earlier database recovery session specified BACKUP
CONTROLFILE, or the control file was recreated with the RESETLOGS
option, or the control file being used is a backup control file.
// After that only BACKUP CONTROLFILE recovery is allowed
and it must be followed by a log reset at the next database open.

Action: Perform recovery using the BACKUP CONTROFILE option.

ORA-01611
ORA-01611, 00000, “thread number %s is invalid – must be between 1 and %s”

Cause: A thread number in a command is greater than the number of threads
supported by the control file.

and/or checkpoint progress record sections of the control file.

ORA-01612
ORA-01612, 00000, “instance %s (thread %s) is already enabled”

Cause: An attempt was made to enable a thread that is already enabled.

Action: Either use this thread or enable another thread.

ORA-01613
ORA-01613, 00000, “instance %s (thread %s) only has %s logs – at least 2 logs required to enable.”

Cause: The thread cannot be enabled because it only has two online log
files associated with it.

Action: Add logs to the thread or pick another thread to enable

ORA-01614
ORA-01614, 00000, “instance %s (thread %s) is busy – cannot enable”

Cause: The mount enqueue for the thread could not be acquired when
attempting to enable the thread. This probably means that another
process has already started enabling this thread.

Action: Wait and try again, or find another thread to enable.

ORA-01615
ORA-01615, 00000, “instance %s (thread %s) is mounted – cannot disable”

Cause: Some instance, possibly this one, has allocated the thread for its
use. The thread can not be disabled while in use.

Action: Shut the instance down cleany using the thread.

ORA-01616
ORA-01616, 00000, “instance %s (thread %s) is open – cannot disable”

Cause: The thread is not closed. The last instance to use the thread died
leaving the thread open. A thread cannot be disabled until it is
closed. It is still required for crash or instance recovery.

Action: If the database is open, instance recovery should close the thread
soon – wait a few minutes. Otherwise open the database – crash
recovery will close the thread.

ORA-01617
ORA-01617, 00000, “cannot mount: %s is not a valid thread number”

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter “thread” is not between 1 and the
number of threads allowed by the control file.

Action: Shut down the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and
startup, or resize the thread record and/or checkpoint progress
record sections of the control file.

ORA-01618
ORA-01618, 00000, “redo thread %s is not enabled – cannot mount”

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter “thread” requests a thread that is not
enabled. A thread must be enabled before it can be mounted.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and startup
mounting a different thread. If the database is open in another
instance then the thread may be enabled.

ORA-01619
ORA-01619, 00000, “thread %s is mounted by another instance”

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter “thread” requests a thread that has been
mounted by another instance. Only one instance may use a thread.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and startup
mounting a different thread.

ORA-01620
ORA-01620, 00000, “no public threads are available for mounting”

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter “thread” is zero, its default value.
There are no threads which have been publicly enabled, and not
mounted.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter to a thread
which is privately enabled and not mounted. If the database is
open in another instance, then a thread may be publicly enabled.

ORA-01621
ORA-01621, 00000, “cannot rename member of current log if database is open”

Cause: This is a rename command for a member of the current log for
an open thread. If the database is open anywhere, the log may be
in use, so the rename cannot be done.

Action: Wait until the log is not current, or mount the database
exclusively.

ORA-01622
ORA-01622, 00000, “thread number must be specified – default not specific”

Cause: The thread was not specified when adding a log, and the currently
mounted thread was chosen by default at mount time. Since the
current thread was not specified explicitly the user cannot know
which thread the log will be added to.

Action: Explicitly specify the thread number either in the INIT.ORA
parameter “thread”, or in the add command.

ORA-01623
ORA-01623, 00000, “log %s is current log for instance %s (thread %s) – cannot drop”

Cause: A thread’s current log cannot be dropped even if the thread is
closed. A disabled thread usually does not have a current log,
but a half completed disable may need to be disabled again.

Action: If the database is not open then disable the thread. If the
database is open and an instance has the thread open, then the
instance can be requested to switch logs. If the database is
closed the log can be archived or cleared to force a switch.

ORA-01624
ORA-01624, 00000, “log %s needed for crash recovery of instance %s (thread %s)”

Cause: A log cannot be dropped or cleared until the thread’s checkpoint
has advanced out of the log.

Action: If the database is not open, then open it. Crash recovery will
advance the checkpoint. If the database is open force a global
checkpoint. If the log is corrupted so that the database cannot
be opened, it may be necessary to do incomplete recovery until
cancel at this log.

ORA-01625
ORA-01625, 00000, “rollback segment ‘%s’ does not belong to this instance”

Cause: Trying to shrink or take a rollback segment offline that does not

recovery_compatible parameter has been specified then set it
to the current software release.

ORA-01639
ORA-01639, 00000, ” instance %s has no thread assigned to it”

Cause: There is no mapping from instance to thread for this instance in
the control file.

Action:Make sure that this instance has a thread assigned to it by adding
logfiles to this instance or by starting the instance with an
existing thread which will automatically create a mapping.

ORA-01640
ORA-01640, 00000, “cannot make tablespace read only with active transactions”

Cause: Attempting to make a tablespace read only while there are active
transactions in the database. All transactions must commit or
rollback to insure that there is no undo for a tablespace before
it can be made read only. This includes in doubt distributed
transactions.

Action: Prevent any more transactions from being started. Putting the
database in restricted mode usually helps. If there are any in
doubt transactions they must also be resolved.

ORA-01641

Cause: Attempting to mount, recover or activate a standby database
without a standby control file.

Action: Create a standby control file before attempting to use the database
as a standby database.

ORA-01666
ORA-01666, 00000, “control file is for a standby database”

Cause: Attempting to mount, recover, or open a standby database without
the appropriate command option to designate a standby database.

Action: Use the standby option or appropriate commands, or mount with
the primary control file.

ORA-01667
ORA-01667, 00000, “cannot add any more tablespaces: limit of %s exceeded”

Cause: There is no more room in the control file for adding tablespaces.

Action: Resize the control file or drop other tablespaces.

ORA-01668
ORA-01668, 00000, “standby database requires DROP option for offline of data file”

Cause: Attempting to take a datafile offline in a standby database without
specifying the DROP option. Files that are offline in a standby
database are not recovered, and are likely to be unusable if
the standby is activated. Note that specifying DROP does not
prevent bringing the file online later.

Action: Specify the DROP option or leave the file online.

ORA-01669
ORA-01669, 00000, “standby database control file not consistent”

Cause: Attempting to activate a standby database with a control file that
has not been recovered to the same point as the data files. Most
likely the control file was just copied from the primary database
and has not been used for recovery.

Action: Recover the standby database until all the files are consistent.

ORA-01670
ORA-01670, 00000, “new datafile %s needed for standby database recovery”

Cause: Standby database recovery noticed that a file was added to the
primary database, but is not available on the standby.

Action: Either copy the file from the primary database or do an ALTER
DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE command on the standby to create a
file to recover.

ORA-01671
ORA-01671, 00000, “control file is a backup, cannot make a standby control file”

Cause: The currently mounted control file is a backup control file, and
attempting to create a control file for a standby database.

Action: Complete any needed recovery and open the database with the
resetlogs option.

ORA-01672
ORA-01672, 00000, “control file may be missing files or have extra ones”

Cause: Attempting to create a standby control file, but the control file
was either recently created via CREATE CONTROLFILE or an incomplete
recovery has been done. Thus the datafiles in the control file
and the ones in the data dictionary may not match.

Action: Open the database, then retry the operation.

ORA-01673
ORA-01673, 00000, “data file %s has not been identified”

Cause: This data file was not in the control file after an incomplete
recovery or CREATE CONTROLFILE. Since information from its
header is needed for standby database recovery, we can not
create a standby control file.

Action: Find the file and bring it online. If desired it may be taken
offline again. If you intend to drop this file, then taking it
offline with the DROP option will avoid this error.

ORA-01674
ORA-01674, 00000, “data file %s is an old incarnation rather than current file”

Cause: Recovery encountered redo that indicates this file was dropped
from the database and another file was added using the same file
number. This implies that a CREATE CONTROLFILE command was given
the old file which was dropped rather than the latest file.

Action: Rebuild the control file using CREATE CONTROLFILE, and give the
correct file.

ORA-01675
ORA-01675, 00000, “max_commit_propagation_delay inconsistent with other instances”

inconsistent with those in other instances.

Action: Make sure all instances have the same max_commit_propagation_delay.

ORA-01676
ORA-01676, 00000, “standby file name convert of ‘%s’ exceeds maximum length of %s”

Cause: When the given file name is converted to the name used for the
standby database, the converted name is bigger than the maximum
allowed file name.

Action: Change initialization parameter DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT or
LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT to convert to a valid file name.

ORA-01677
ORA-01677, 00000, “standby file name convert parameters differ from other instance”

Cause: The DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT or LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT
initialization parameters are not the same as in other instances
that already have the database mounted.

Action: Change initialization parameters DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT and
LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT to match other instances.

ORA-01678
ORA-01678, 00000, “parameter %s must be pairs of pattern and replacement strings”

Cause: The initialization parameter does not have even number of strings
for its value. The odd numbered strings are patterns to be found in
file names. The even numbered strings are used to replace the
corresponding patterns when found in file names.

Action:Specify even number of strings for the parameter, or omit the
parameter.

ORA-01679
ORA-01679, 00000, “database must be mounted EXCLUSIVE and not open to activate”

Cause: An attempt to activate a standby database was made when the
database was not mounted EXCLUSIVE or was already open.

Action: Mount the database EXCLUSIVE and retry the ACTIVATE command.

Cause: A LOB segment tried to extend past max extents.

Action: If maxextents for the tablespace is less than the the system
maximum, you can raise that. Otherwise, raise pctincrease for the
tablespace

ORA-01682
ORA-01682, 00000, “read-only DB cannot allocate temporary space in tablespace %s”

Cause: Temporary space (usually for sorting) could not be allocated in
either main storage or a tempfile. An attempt was made to
allocate the space from the tablespace named, but the database is
opened read-only. The database open requires a sort work space.

Action: Either allow sufficient workspace in main storage (SORT_AREA_SIZE
initialization parameter), or create a temporary tablespace before
making the database read-only. Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD TEMPFILE
statement to add temporary files to the temporary tablespace.

ORA-01683
ORA-01683, 00000, “unable to extend index %s.%s partition %s by %s in tablespace %s”

Cause: The number of files for a given tablespace has reached its maximum
value

Action: Resize existing files in the tablespace, or partition the objects
among multiple tablespaces, or move some objects to a different
tablespace.

ORA-01687
ORA-01687, 00000, “specified logging attribute for tablespace ‘%s’ is same as the existing”

Cause: Attempting to change the tablespace default logging attribute
(LOGGING or NOLOGGING) to be the same as the existing logging
attribute

Action: Change the specified logging attribute

ORA-01688

ORA-06561
ORA-06561, 00000, “given statement is not supported by package DBMS_SQL”

Cause: Attempting to parse an unsupported statement using procedure
PARSE provided by package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Only statements which begin with SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE,
LOCK, BEGIN, DECLARE or << (PL/SQL label delimiter) are supported.

ORA-06562
ORA-06562, 00000, “type of out argument must match type of column or bind variable”

Cause: Attempting to get the value of a column or
a bind variable by calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or
VARIABLE_VALUE of package DBMS_SQL but the type of
the given out argument where to place the value is different
from the type of the column or bind variable that was previously
defined by calling procedure DEFINE_COLUMN (for defining a column)
or BIND_VARIABLE (for binding a bind variable) of package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Pass in an out argument of the correct type when calling
procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE. The right
type is the type that was provided when defining the column or
binding the bind variable.

ORA-06563
ORA-06563, 00000, “top level procedure/function specified, cannot have subparts”

Cause: The name to be resolved was specified with three parts (a.b.c)
but the a.b part resolves to a top level procedure or function
(which don’t have nested procedures). This can also happen
with a two-part name, a.b, where a is a synonym for a top
level package or procedure.

Action: Specify a procedure/function within a package, or a top level
procedure/function.

ORA-06564
ORA-06564, 00000, “object %s does not exist”

procedure, function or package. This function can only be
used from pl/sql anonymous blocks.

Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06566
ORA-06566, 00000, “invalid number of rows specified”

Cause: An invalid number of rows was specified in a call to the
procedure DEFINE_COLUMN in the package DBMS_SQL. For a given
parsed statement in a given cursor, all columns must be
defined to have the same number of rows, so all the calls
to DEFINE_COLUMN must specify the same number of rows.

Action: Specify a number that matches that for previously defined
columns.

ORA-06567
ORA-06567, 00000, “invalid number of values specified”

Cause: An invalid number of values to be bound was specified in a
call to the procedure BIND_VARIABLE in the package DBMS_SQL.
In order to execute a given parsed statement in a given cursor,
the same number of values must have been bound for all bind
variables, so when EXECUTE is called, the latest calls to
BIND_VARIABLE must must have specified the same number of values
to be bound for all bind variables.

Action: Make sure that the same number of values have been bound for all
of the bind variables.

ORA-06568
ORA-06568, 00000, “obsolete ICD procedure called”

Cause: An obsolete ICD procedure was called by a PL/SQL program.
The PL/SQL program was probably written for an eralier release of
RDBMS.

Action: Make sure that all PL/SQL programs have been upgraded to the latest
release of the RDBMS. This can be accomplished by following
upgrade instructions in the README file, or by running
the catproc.sql script supplied with the RDBMS.

ORA-06569
ORA-06569, 00000, “Collection bound by bind_array contains no elements”

Cause: A collection with zero elements was bound to a bind variable
in a call to procedure BIND_ARRAY in the package DBMS_SQL.
In order to execute a bind of a collection, the collection must
contain at least one element. If no elements are present then
at execute time there will be no value for this bind and the
statement is meaningless.

Action: Fill the collection with the elements you want to bind and
try the bind call again.

ORA-06570
ORA-06570, 00000, “shared pool object does not exist, cannot be pinned/purged”

Cause: The specified shared pool shared cursor could not be found,
therefore it cannot be pinned/purged.

Action: Make sure that a correct shared cursor name is given. Names
are a string of the form ‘HHHHHHHH,SDDDDDDDDDD’ where the H’s
are an 8 digit hex number from the ‘address’ column of v$sqlarea,
and the D’s are a 1 to 10 digit decimal number with an optional
leading sign (from the ‘hash_value’ column)

Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06571
ORA-06571, 00000, “Function %s does not guarantee not to update database”

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function
that does not contain a pragma that prevents the database
from being updated.
* A SQL statement references a stand-alone, PL/SQL function
that contains an instruction to update the database.

Action: If the referenced function is a packaged, PL/SQL function:
Recreate the PL/SQL function with the required pragma; be
certain to include the ‘Write No Database State’ (WNDS)
argument in the argument list of the pragma.
If the referenced function is a stand-alone, PL/SQL function:
Do not use the function.

ORA-06572
ORA-06572, 00000, “Function %s has out arguments”

Cause: A SQL statement references either a packaged, or a stand-alone,
PL/SQL function that contains an OUT parameter in its argument
list. PL/SQL functions referenced by SQL statements must not
contain the OUT parameter.

Action: Recreate the PL/SQL function without the OUT parameter in the
argument list.

ORA-06573
ORA-06573, 00000, “Function %s modifies package state, cannot be used here”

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function that
does not contain a pragma containing the ‘Write no Package
State’ (WNPS).
* A SQL statement references a stand-alone, PL/SQL function
that modifies a package state. A stand-alone, PL/SQL function
referenced by a SQL statement cannot modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged, PL/SQL function: Recreate
the function and include a pragma containing the ‘Write no
Package State’ (WNPS).
If the function is a stand-alone, PL/SQL function: Delete
the function from the SQL statement.

ORA-06574
ORA-06574, 00000, “Function %s references package state, cannot execute remotely”

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A remote, packaged function or a remote-mapped, local,
packaged function that does not contain a pragma with the
‘Write no Package State’ (WNPS) and ‘Read no Package State’
(RNPS) arguments references a package state.
* A remote, stand-alone function or a remote-mapped, local,
stand-alone function contains a reference to a package
state (reads or writes a package variable).
Only local functions that are referenced in a SELECT list, VALUES
clause of an INSERT statement, or SET clause of an UPDATE
statement can modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged function: Recreate the function
and include a pragma containing the ‘Write no Package State’
(WNPS) and ‘Read no Package State’ (RNPS) arguments.
If the function is a stand-alone function: Do not call the
function.

ORA-06575
ORA-06575, 00000, “Package or function %s is in an invalid state”

Cause: A SQL statement references a PL/SQL function that is in an
invalid state. Oracle attempted to compile the function, but
detected errors.

Action: Check the SQL statement and the PL/SQL function for syntax
errors or incorrectly assigned, or missing, privileges for a
referenced object.

ORA-06576
ORA-06576, 00000, “not a valid function or procedure name”

Cause: Could not find a function (if an INTO clause was present) or
a procedure (if the statement did not have an INTO clause) to
call.

Action: Change the statement to invoke a function or procedure

Action: Change the argument to a bind variable

ORA-06578
ORA-06578, 00000, “output parameter cannot be a duplicate bind”

Cause: The bind variable corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter
for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a
CALL statement cannot be a duplicate bind variable.

Action: Change the bind variable to be unique

ORA-06579
ORA-06579, 00000, ” Bind variable not big enough to hold the output value”

Cause: The bind variable specified by the user is not large enough to
hold the output returned by the function or a procedure.

Action: Specify a bind variable of larger size.

ORA-06580
ORA-06580, 00000, “Hash Join ran out of memory while keeping large rows in memory”

Cause: Hash Join reserves 3 slots (each slot size = DB_BLOCK_SIZE *
HASH_JOIN_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT) for a row. If a row is larger than
that, this error will be raised.

Action: Increase HASH_JOIN_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT so that each joined row
fits in a slot. HASH_AREA_SIZE may also need to be increaed.

ORA-06592
ORA-06592, 00000, “CASE not found while executing CASE statement”

Cause: A CASE statement must either list all possible cases or have an
else clause.

Action: Add all missing cases or an else clause.

you can get this error if your username in the secondary database
is invalid (has not been created). Third,
// you can get this error if the username/password combination
// specified in the connect string of the database link definition
// is invalid (either not created or has an invalid password).

Action: In the first case, ensure that the secondary database contains
// a username (and password, if you are using database authentication)
identical to the one you are using in the primary
database. In general, you should always use operating system
// authentication in Trusted ORACLE (see the Trusted ORACLE RDBMS
// Guide to Security Features for more information about the
advantages of OS authentication).
// In the second case, ensure that your username in the
secondary database has been created.
// In the third case, ensure that the username specified in the

ORA-12500
ORA-12500, 00000, “TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process”

Cause: The process of starting up a dedicated server process failed.
The executable could not be found or the environment may be set up
incorrectly.

Action: Turn on tracing at the ADMIN level and reexecute the operation.
Verify that the ORACLE Server executable is present and has execute
permissions enabled. Ensure that the ORACLE environment is specified
correctly in LISTENER.ORA. The Oracle Protocol Adapter that is being
called may not be installed on the local hard drive. Please check that
the correct Protocol Adapter are successfully linked.
If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12502
ORA-12502, 00000, “TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client”

Cause: No CONNECT_DATA was passed to the listener.

Action: Check that the service name resolved from TNSNAMES.ORA has
the CONNECT_DATA component of the connect descriptor.

ORA-12504
ORA-12504, 00000, “TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA”

Cause: The listener was not configured with a default service and
SERVICE_NAME was missing from the CONNECT_DATA received by the listener.

Action: Possible solutions are:
– Configure DEFAULT_SERVICE parameter in LISTENER.ORA with a valid service
name. Reload the listener parameter file using reload [<listener_name>].
This should be done by the LISTENER administrator.
– If using a service name, Check that the connect descriptor corresponding
to the service name in TNSNAMES.ORA has a SERVICE_NAME or SID component
in the CONNECT_DATA.

ORA-12505
ORA-12505, 00000, “TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor”

Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
specified a SID for an instance (usually a database instance) that either
has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been
statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition
such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance
has registered with the listener.

Action:
– Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
– Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing:
lsnrctl services <listener name>
– Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies
an instance known by the listener.
– Check for an event in the listener.log file.

ORA-12508
ORA-12508, 00000, “TNS:listener could not resolve the COMMAND given”

Cause: The COMMAND given to listener is not supported.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

Comment: Check the COMMAND given to listener. This error is probably
caused by incompatible Oracle Net or Net8 versions.
Do not include in error manual.

ORA-12509
ORA-12509, 00000, “TNS:listener failed to redirect client to service handler”

Cause: The dispatcher terminated unexpectedly

Action: Attempt to connect again and if the same error occurs,
contact the DBA to check the state of the dispatchers for this SID.
If the problem persists, turn on tracing in the listener to determine
the TNS error caused by the redirect.

ORA-12510
ORA-12510, 00000, “TNS:database temporarily lacks resources to handle the request”

Cause: The dispatchers appear to be busy handling other requests.

Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, ask
the DBA to increase the number of dispatchers and/or dispatchers’ limit on
number of connections/sessions that they can accept.

ORA-12511
ORA-12511, 00000, “TNS:service handler found but it is not accepting connections”

Cause: The dispatchers notified the listener that they temporarily
do not accept new connections.

Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, contact the DBA
to check the state of the dispatchers and/or ask him to increase the number
of dispatchers.

ORA-12513
ORA-12513, 00000, “TNS:service handler found but it has registered for a different protocol”

Cause: The dispatchers registered for this service are connected to
the listener by way of a different network protocol than that of the client.

Action: Contact the DBA to register a dispatcher on your protocol.

ORA-12514
ORA-12514, 00000, “TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor”

Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
specified a service name for a service (usually a database service)
that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has
not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary
condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database
instance has registered with the listener.

Action:
– Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
– Check which services are currently known by the listener by executing:
lsnrctl services <listener name>
– Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the
net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.
– If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that
the service name specified is a service known by the listener.
– Check for an event in the listener.log file.

ORA-12515
ORA-12515, 00000, “TNS:listener could not find a handler for this presentation”

Cause: None of the listener’s known service handlers are registered
as supporting the presentation protocol required by the connecting client.

Action: Check that the destination service is configured to accept the
presentation protocol.

ORA-12516
ORA-12516, 00000, “TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack”

Cause: None of the known and available service handlers for the given
SERVICE_NAME support the client’s protocol stack: transport, session,
and presentation protocols.

Action: Check to make sure that the service handlers (e.g. dispatchers)
for the given SERVICE_NAME are registered with the listener, are accepting
connections, and that they are properly configured to support the desired
protocols.

ORA-12518
ORA-12518, 00000, “TNS:listener could not hand off client connection”

Cause: The process of handing off a client connection to another process
failed.

Action: Turn on listener tracing and re-execute the operation. Verify
that the listener and database instance are properly configured for
direct handoff. If problem persists, call Oracle Support.

Comment: The problem can be worked around by configuring dispatcher(s)
to specifically handle the desired presentation(s), and connecting
directly to the dispatcher, bypassing the listener.

ORA-12519
ORA-12519, 00000, “TNS:no appropriate service handler found”

Cause: The listener could not find any available service handlers that
are appropriate for the client connection.

Action: Run “lsnrctl services” to ensure that the instance(s) have
registered with the listener, and are accepting connections.

ORA-12520
ORA-12520, 00000, “TNS:listener could not find available handler for requested type of server”

Cause: None of the known and available service handlers for requested type
of server (dedicated or shared) are appropriate for the client connection.

Action: Run “lsnrctl services” to ensure that the instance(s) have
registered with the listener and that the appropriate handlers are
accepting connections.

ORA-12521
ORA-12521, 00000, “TNS:listener does not currently know of instance requested in connect descriptor”

Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a
database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener
specified in addition to the service name an instance name for an instance
(usually a database instance) that either has not yet dynamically registered
with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener.
This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started,
but before the database instance has registered with the listener.

Action:
– Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
– Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing:
lsnrctl services <listener name>
– Check that the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor specifies
an instance name known by the listener.
– Check for an event in the listener.log file.

ORA-12522
ORA-12522, 00000, “TNS:listener could not find available instance with given INSTANCE_ROLE”

Cause: There are not any available and appropriate database instances
registered with the listener, that are part of the service identified by
SERVICE_NAME given in the connect descriptor and that have the specified
INSTANCE_ROLE (and INSTANCE_NAME, if specified).

Action: Check to make sure that the INSTANCE_ROLE specified is correct.
Run “lsnrctl services” to ensure that the instance(s) have registered with
the listener and that they are ready to accept connections.

ORA-12523
ORA-12523, 00000, “TNS:listener could not find instance appropriate for the client connection”

Cause: The listener could not find any available (database) instances,
that are appropriate for the client connection.

Action: Run “lsnrctl services” to ensure that the instance(s) are
registered with the listener, and have status READY.

ORA-12524
ORA-12524, 00000, “TNS:listener could not resolve HANDLER_NAME given in connect descriptor”

Cause: The HANDLER_NAME in the CONNECT_DATA was not found in the listener’s
tables for the specified SERVICE_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME.

Action: Check to make sure that the HANDLER_NAME specified is correct.

Comment: This error will be returned if the database instance and/or its
service handlers have not been registered with the listener or they have
been registered for different service; the instance may need to be started.

ORA-12525
ORA-12525, 00000, “TNS:listener has not received client’s request in time allowed”

Cause: The listener disconnected the client because the client failed to
provide the necessary connect information within the allowed time interval.
This may be a result of network or system delays; or this may indicate that a
malicious client is trying to cause a Denial of Service attack on the
listener.

Action: If the error occurred because of a slow network or system,
reconfigure INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT to a larger value. If a malicious
client is suspected, use the address in listener.log to identify the
source and restrict access. Turn on tracing for more information.

Comment: The logged address in listener.ora may not be reliable as it
can be forged at the lower networking layers (e.g. in the case of TCP/IP).

ORA-12526
ORA-12526, 00000, “TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are in restricted mode”

Cause: Database instances supporting the service requested by the client
were in restricted mode. The Listener does not allow connections to
instances in restricted mode. This condition may be temporary, such as
during periods when database administration is performed.

Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, then contact
the database administrator to change the mode of the instance,
if appropriate.

ORA-12527
ORA-12527, 00000, “TNS:listener: all instances are in restricted mode or blocking new connections”

Cause: All appropriate database instances supporting the service requested
by the client reported that they either were in restricted mode or were
blocking the new connections. The Listener does not allow connections to
such instances. This condition may be temporary, such as at instance
startup.

Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, then contact the
database administrator to check the status of the instances.

ORA-12528
ORA-12528, 00000, “TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections”

Cause: All instances supporting the service requested by the client
reported that they were blocking the new connections. This condition may be
temporary, such as at instance startup.

Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, then contact the
administrator to check the status of the instances.

ORA-12529
ORA-12529, 00000, “TNS:connect request rejected based on current filtering rules”

Cause: Connection Manager and its listener were configured with filtering
rules specifying that the connect request be rejected.

Action: If this connect request should be allowed, then contact the
administrator to modify the filtering rules.

ORA-12531
ORA-12531, 00000, “TNS:cannot allocate memory”

Cause: Sufficient memory could not be allocated to perform the desired
activity.

Action: Either free some resource for TNS, or add more memory to the
machine. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.

ORA-12532
ORA-12532, 00000, “TNS:invalid argument”

Cause: An internal function received an invalid parameter.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn
on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact
Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12533
ORA-12533, 00000, “TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters”

Cause: An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified. In
some cases, this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the
protocol transport.

Action: Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified
protocol. Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of
TNSNAMES.ORA. Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the
Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.
Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer (such as DECnet object
names) are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are
misspelled.

ORA-12534
ORA-12534, 00000, “TNS:operation not supported”

Cause: An internal function received a request to perform an
operation that is not supported (on this machine).

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn
on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact
Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12535
ORA-12535, 00000, “TNS:operation timed out”

period.

Action: Look at the documentation on the secondary errors for possible
remedy. See SQLNET.LOG to find secondary error if not provided explicitly.
Turn on tracing to gather more information.

ORA-12536
ORA-12536, 00000, “TNS:operation would block”

Cause: An internal operation did not commence because to do so would
block the current process and the user has requested that operations be
non-blocking.

Action: None needed; this is an information message.

ORA-12537
ORA-12537, 00000, “TNS:connection closed”

Cause: “End of file” condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.

Action: None needed; this is an information message.

ORA-12538
ORA-12538, 00000, “TNS:no such protocol adapter”

Cause: The protocol adapter requested (by way of the “(PROTOCOL=..)”
keyword-value pair in a TNS address) is unknown. If the supplied address
is typographically correct then the protocol adapter is not installed.

Action: Install the protocol adapter or correct typographically error,
as appropriate. Note: if the supplied address was derived from
resolving the service name, check the address in the appropriate file
(TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA or SQLNET.ORA).

ORA-12539
ORA-12539, 00000, “TNS:buffer over- or under-flow”

Cause: Buffer too small for incoming data or too large for outgoing data.

Action: This restriction (which is associated with CONNECT DATA) is not
normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and
reexecute the operation; contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12540

CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement contained RECOVERABLE or
UNRECOVERABLE clause which is illegal

Action: Remove offending clause. Use LOGGING or NOLOGGING instead.

ORA-14113
ORA-14113, 00000, “partitioned table cannot have column with LOB datatype”

Cause: User tried to create a partitioned table with a LOB datatype
or tried to add a LOB datatype column to a partitioned table.

Action: LOB data types are not supported with partitioned tables.
Create table without LOB column or change table to not
partitioned. If adding column, do not use LOB datatype.
If modifying attributes of a column to change data type to
LOB, it has to be a non partitioned table.

ORA-14114
ORA-14114, 00000, “partitioned table cannot have column with object, REF, nested table, array datatype”

Cause: User tried to create a partitioned table with a object datatype
(object, REF, nested table, array)
or tried to add a object datatype column to a partitioned table.

Action: object data types are not supported with partitioned tables.
Create table without object column or change table to not
partitioned. If adding column, do not use object datatypes.
If modifying attributes of a column to change data type to
object, it has to be a non partitioned table.

ORA-14115
ORA-14115, 00000, “partition bound of partition number %s is too long”

Cause: Length of linear key representation of a high bound of the
partition whose number (partitions are numbered starting with 1)
is displayed in this message exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring
its length within legal limit.

ORA-14116
ORA-14116, 00000, “partition bound of partition \”%s\” is too long”

Cause: Length of linear key representation of a high bound of the
partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is
displayed in this message exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring
its length within legal limit.

ORA-14117
ORA-14117, 00000, “partition resides in offlined tablespace”

Cause: User attempted an operation requiring that we access data
in a partition which resides in a tablespace which was
taken offline. Such operations include trying to drop a
tablespace of a table which has indices defined on it or
is referenced by a constraint.

Action: Bring tablespace online before attempting the operation.

ORA-14118
ORA-14118, 00000, “CHECK constraint mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION”

Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the
ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement have CHECK constraint
defined on them.

Action: Ensure that the two tables do not have CHECK constraint
defined on any column

ORA-14119
ORA-14119, 00000, “specified partition bound is too long”

Cause: Length of a linear key representation of a high bound of a table
partition being added or along which an existing table or
index partition is being split exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring
its length within legal limit.

ORA-14120
ORA-14120, 00000, “incompletely specified partition bound for a DATE column”

Cause: An attempt was made to use a date expression whose format
does not fully (i.e. day, month, and year (including century))
specify a date as a partition bound for a DATE column.
The format may have been specified explicitly (using
TO_DATE() function) or implicitly (NLS_DATE_FORMAT).

Action: Ensure that date format used in a partition bound for a
DATE column supports complete specification of a date
(i.e. day, month, and year (including century)).
If NLS_DATE_FORMAT does not support complete
(i.e. including the century) specification of the year,
use TO_DATE() (e.g. TO_DATE(’01-01-1999′, ‘MM-DD-YYYY’)
to fully express the desired date.

ORA-14121
ORA-14121, 00000, “MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES may not be combined with other operations”

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine
MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES with some other operation
(e.g. ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal

Action: Ensure that MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES is the sole
operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement;
operations other than those dealing with partitions,
default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or
specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be
combined at will

ORA-14122
ORA-14122, 00000, “only one REVERSE or NOREVERSE clause may be specified”

Cause: Both REVERSE and NOREVERSE were specified in CREATE INDEX
statement.

Action: Remove all but one of the REVERSE or NOREVERSE clauses and
reissue the statement.

ORA-14123
ORA-14123, 00000, “duplicate NOREVERSE clause”

Cause: NOREVERSE was specified more than once in ALTER INDEX statement.

Action: Remove all but one of the NOREVERSE clauses and reissue
the statement.

ORA-14124
ORA-14124, 00000, “duplicate REVERSE clause”

Cause: REVERSE was specified more than once in ALTER INDEX or
CREATE INDEX statements.

Action: Remove all but one of the REVERSE clauses and reissue
the statement.

ORA-14125
ORA-14125, 00000, “REVERSE/NOREVERSE may not be specified in this context”

Cause: REVERSE/NOREVERSE clause is not allowed in this context.

Action: Remove offending clause. REVERSE may be specified as an
attribute of an index (not of an individual partition, if
creating a partitioned index) in CREATE INDEX statement
and ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement.
NOREVERSE may be specified only in ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement.

ORA-14126
ORA-14126, 00000, “only a <parallel clause> may follow description(s) of resulting partitions”

Cause: Descriptions of partition(s) resulting from splitting of a
table or index partition may be followed by an optional
<parallel clause> which applies to the entire statement and
which, in turn, may not be followed by any other clause.

Action: Ensure that all partition attributes appear within the
parenthesized list of descriptions of resulting partitions in
ALTER TABLE/INDEX SPLIT PARTITION statement.

ORA-14127
ORA-14127, 00000, “illegal index-partition-extended table name syntax”

Document: NO

Cause: Index partition may be specified using IND_PARTITION()
// or IND_PARTITION(<part#>).
Internal user attempted to specify an index partition name.

Action: Modify statement to refer to an index partition using its number

ORA-14128
ORA-14128, 00000, “FOREIGN KEY constraint mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION”

Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the
ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement have different FOREIGN KEY
constraints.

Action: Ensure that the two tables do not have FOREIGN KEY constraints
defined on any column or disable all FOREIGN KEY constraints
on both tables. Then retry the operation.

ORA-14129
ORA-14129, 00000, “INCLUDING INDEXES must be specified as tables have enabled UNIQUE constraints”

Cause: Matching UNIQUE constraints in both table are enabled and validated
but INCLUDING INDEXES is not specified in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION|SUBPARTITION command.

Action: Disable currently enabled matching UNIQUE constraints on both
tables or ensure that INCLUDING INDEXES option is used.

ORA-14130
ORA-14130, 00000, “UNIQUE constraints mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION”

Cause: One of the tables named in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
command has a UNIQUE constraint for which no matching (vis-a-vis
// key columns) constraint is defined on the other table or
// a matching constraint is defined on the other table, but it
// differs from that defined on the first table vis-a-vis being
// enabled and/or validated.

Action: Ensure that for every UNIQUE constraint defined on one of the
// tables named in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement there
// is a matching (vis-a-vis key columns and being enabled and/or
// validated) UNIQUE constraint defined on the other table.
// If UNIQUE constrains are enabled, UNIQUE constraints on the
// partitioned table should be enforced using local indexes.

ORA-14131
ORA-14131, 00000, “enabled UNIQUE constraint exists on one of the tables”

Cause: One of the tables referenced in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION|SUBPARTITION statement has enabled UNIQUE constraint(s)
defined on it, which prevents EXCHANGE from proceeding.

Action: Disable constraints defined on tables referenced in the
ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION statement and
retry the statement.

ORA-14132
ORA-14132, 00000, “table cannot be used in EXCHANGE”

Cause: An attempt was made to issue an ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION |
SUBPARTITION command, but the non-partitioned table cannot be used
in the EXCHANGE because one or more of the following apply:
– it is a typed table
– it is a temporary table
– it contains ADT columns
– it contains nested-table columns
– it contains REF columns
– it contains array columns
– it is an index-organized table
– it contains LOB columns
– it is a nested table
– it is created with row dependency and the partitioned table is not
– it is created without row dependency and the partitioned table is

Action: Make sure the non-partitioned table does not violate any
of the above restrictions for the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION |
SUBPARTITION command.

ORA-14133
ORA-14133, 00000, “ALTER TABLE MOVE cannot be combined with other operations”

Cause: An attempt was made to combine an ALTER TABLE MOVE statement
// with another operation, such as MODIFY.

Action: Make sure that MOVE is the only operation specified in ALTER TABLE
// statement;

ORA-14134
ORA-14134, 00000, “indexes cannot use both DESC and REVERSE”

Cause: An attempt was made to make a reverse index with some index
columns marked DESC.

Action: Do not use DESC in reverse indexes. The rule-based optimizer can
scan indexes backwards, which allows a normal reverse index to
simulate a reverse index with columns marked DESC.

ORA-14135
ORA-14135, 00000, “a LOB column cannot serve as a partitioning column”

Cause: An attempt was made to specify a column of type BLOB or CLOB as a
partitioning or subpartitioning column.

Action: Ensure that no partitioning or subpartitioning column is of type
BLOB or CLOB.

ORA-14136
ORA-14136, 00000, “ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE restricted by fine-grained security”

Cause: User doing exchange does not have full table access due to VPD
policies.

Action: Grant exempt priviliges to this user.

ORA-14137
ORA-14137, 00000, “Table in partially dropped state, submit DROP TABLE PURGE”

Cause: An attempt was made to access a partitioned table in a partially
dropped state.

Action: Submit DROP TABLE <table> PURGE to drop the table.

ORA-14138
ORA-14138, 00000, “An unexpected error encountered during drop table operation”

Cause: Drop table encountered an unexpected error.

Action: a. Submit drop table <table&gt purge, or
b. If the situation described in the next error on the stack
// can be corrected, do so.
c. Contact Oracle Support.

ORA-14139
ORA-14139, 00000, “table %s.%s is already in read-only mode”

Cause: an attempt was made to set a read-only table in read-only mode

Action: this DDL can only be executed on a read/write table

ORA-14140
ORA-14140, 00000, “table %s.%s is already in read/write mode”

Cause: an attempt was made to set a read/write table in read/write mode

Action: this DDL can only be executed on a read-only table

ORA-14141
ORA-14141, 00000, “ALTER INDEX VISIBLE|INVISIBLE may not be combined with other operations”

Cause: ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine a VISIBLE|INVISIBLE
operation with some other operation which is illegal

Action: Ensure that VISIBLE|INVISIBLE operation is the sole operation
specified in ALTER INDEX statement

ORA-14142
ORA-14142, 00000, “ALTER INDEX VISIBLE|INVISIBLE may not be used with certain types of index”

Cause: Using the ALTER INDEX VISIBLE|INVISIBLE statement on certain types
of indexes (IOT-TOP, Cluster indexes) is illegal.

Action: Remove the option VISIBLE|INVISIBLE.

ORA-14143
ORA-14143, 00000, “CREATE INDEX INVISIBLE may not be used with this type of index”

Cause: Certain types of indexes (IOT-TOP, Cluster indexes) cannot
be created invisible.

Action: Remove the option INVISIBLE

ORA-14144
ORA-14144, 00000, “arguments to tbl$or$idx$part$num must not be bind variables”

Document: NO

Cause: Second, third or fourth argument to tbl$or$idx$part$num was found
to be a bind variable and not an integer constant.

Action: Ensure that the argument passed to tbl$or$idx$part$num
is an integer constant and not a bind variable.

ORA-14150
ORA-14150, 00000, “missing SUBPARTITION keyword”

Cause: keyword SUBPARTITION missing

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14151
ORA-14151, 00000, “invalid table partitioning method”

Cause: Invalid partitioning method was specified in CREATE TABLE
statement. A table may be partitioned by RANGE, HASH, LIST, SYSTEM, or
Composite Range-Hash/List/Range (R+H/L/R).

Action: Specify one of valid partitioning methods

ORA-14152
ORA-14152, 00000, “invalid number of partitions specified in PARTITIONS clause”

Cause: number-of-partitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or
CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of partitions
outside of legal range (1-1048575)

Action: Specify a number between 1 and 1024K-1 in the
number-of-partitions clause

ORA-14153
ORA-14153, 00000, “only one of STORE IN or <partition-description> clause may be specified”

Cause: both STORE IN and <partition-description> clauses were specified
in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX command

Action: Remove one of offending clauses

ORA-14154
ORA-14154, 00000, “only one of STORE IN or <subpartition-description> clause may be specified”

Cause: both STORE IN and <subpartition-description> clauses were
specified in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX, or ALTER TABLE ADD|SPLIT
PARTITION or ALTER TABLE MERGE PARTITIONS command for
a Composite Range partitioned object

Action: Remove one of offending clauses

ORA-14155
ORA-14155, 00000, “missing PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword”

Cause: expect either PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword but none was
supplied

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14156
ORA-14156, 00000, “invalid number of subpartitions specified in [SUBPARTITIONS | SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE] clause”

Cause: number-of-subpartitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or
CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of subpartitions
outside of legal range (1-1048575)

Action: Specify a number between 1 and 1024K-1 in the
number-of-subpartitions clause

ORA-14157
ORA-14157, 00000, “invalid subpartition name”

Cause: a subpartition name of the form <identifier> is expected
but not present.

Action: enter an appropriate subpartition name.

ORA-14158
ORA-14158, 00000, “too many subpartition descriptions”

Cause: CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX contained too many subpartition
descriptions; maximum number of subpartitions is 1048575.

Action: Reduce number of subpartitions to not exceed 1024K-1.

ORA-14159
ORA-14159, 00000, “duplicate subpartition name”

Cause: Name of a subpartition of a table or index being created
is not unique

Action: rename subpartition(s) to ensure that their names are unique
among subpartitions of the table or index being created

ORA-14160
ORA-14160, 00000, “this physical attribute may not be specified for a table subpartition”

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical
attributes of a table subpartition; TABLESPACE is the only valid
option

Action: remove invalid option(s)

Comment: this error could have resulted from omission of a
terminating (right) parenthesis following the list of
subpartition descriptions

ORA-14161
ORA-14161, 00000, “subpartition number %s: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100″

Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a subpartition whose number
(subpartitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this
message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE
values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly,
default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn,
default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values at partition-level were not
specified, default values for the partitioned table or index
would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly,
system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the subpartition
does not exceed 100

ORA-14162
ORA-14162, 00000, “subpartition \”%s\”: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100″

Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a subpartition whose name
(explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this
message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE
values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly,
default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn,
default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values at partition-level were not
specified, default values for the partitioned table or index
would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly,
system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the subpartition
does not exceed 100

ORA-14163
ORA-14163, 00000, “subpartition number %s: INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value”

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS
for a subpartition whose number (subpartitions are numbered starting
with 1) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS
and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified
explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used.
If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at
partition-level were not specified, default values for the
partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were
also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or
derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or
index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS

ORA-14164
ORA-14164, 00000, “subpartition \”%s\”: INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value”

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS
for a subpartition whose name (explicitly specified by the user)
is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS
and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified
explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used.
If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at
partition-level were not specified, default values for the
partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were
also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or
derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or
index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS

ORA-14165

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine
MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES OF PARTITION with some other operation
(e.g. ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal

Action: Ensure that MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES is the sole
operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement;
operations other than those dealing with partitions,
default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or
specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be
combined at will

ORA-14166
ORA-14166, 00000, “missing INTO keyword”

Cause: keyword INTO missing

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14167
ORA-14167, 00000, “only one subpartition may be moved”

Cause: ALTER TABLE MOVE SUBPARTITION contained descriptions of more than
one subpartition to be moved

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one subpartition
to be moved and that it does not contain any commas

ORA-14168
ORA-14168, 00000, “only one subpartition may be modified”

Cause: ALTER TABLE|INDEX MODIFY SUBPARTITION contained descriptions of
more than one subpartition to be modified

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one subpartition
to be modified and that it does not contain any commas

ORA-14169
ORA-14169, 00000, “invalid ALTER TABLE MODIFY SUBPARTITION option”

Cause: An option other than PCTFREE, PCTUSED, INITRANS, MAXTRANS,
// STORAGE, was specified in an ALTER TABLE MODIFY SUBPARTITION
statement.

Action: Specify only legal options.

ORA-14170
ORA-14170, 00000, “cannot specify <partition-description> clause in CREATE TABLE|INDEX”

Cause: User requested to generate default partition description(s)
(possibly via PARTITIONS <number-of-partitions>) while at
the same time specified <partition-description> clause which
is illegal

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.

ORA-14171
ORA-14171, 00000, “cannot specify <subpartition-description> clause in CREATE|ALTER TABLE”

Cause: User requested to generate default subpartition description(s)
(possibly via SUBPARTITIONS) while at the same time specified
<subpartition-description> clause which is illegal

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.

ORA-14172

Cause: Name of the table to be EXCHANGED has to be followed
by [{INCLUDING|EXCLUDING} INDEX][{WITH|WITHOUT} VALIDATION]

Action: Ensure that no options besides INCLDING INDEX or EXCLUDING
INDEX are specified with ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE SUBPARTITION

ORA-14173
ORA-14173, 00000, “illegal subpartition-extended table name syntax”

Cause: Subpartition to be accessed may only be specified using its name.
User attempted to use a subpartition number or a bind variable.

Action: Modify statement to refer to a subpartition using its name

ORA-14174
ORA-14174, 00000, “only a <parallel clause> may follow COALESCE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION”

Cause: ALTER TABLE COALESCE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION may be followed by
an optional <parallel clause>. No partition/subpartition
attributes may be specified

Action: Ensure that no partition/subpartition attribute was specified.

ORA-14175
ORA-14175, 00000, “a subpartition maintenance operation may not be combined with other operations”

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine
a subpartition maintenance operation (e.g. MOVE SUBPARTITION)
with some other operation (e.g. MODIFY PARTITION ADD SUBPARTITION
or PCTFREE) which is illegal

Action: Ensure that a subpartition maintenance operation is the sole
operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement;
operations other than those dealing with subpartitions,
default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or
specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be
combined at will

ORA-14176
ORA-14176, 00000, “this attribute may not be specified for a hash partition”

Cause: An invalid option was encountered while parsing physical
attributes of a partition of an object partitioned using the
HASH method. The TABLESPACE option is the only valid
option for such partitions.

Action: Remove the invalid option(s).

ORA-14177
ORA-14177, 00000, “STORE-IN (Tablespace list) can only be specified for a LOCAL index on a Hash or Composite Range Hash table”

Cause: STORE-IN (Tablespace list) clause was used while creating a local
index on a range/list/composite range list partitioned table

Action: Do not use the STORE_IN (Tablespace list) clause while creating
a local index on range/list/composite range list partitioned table

ORA-14178
ORA-14178, 00000, “STORE IN (DEFAULT) clause is not supported for hash partitioned global indexes”

Cause: STORE IN (DEFAULT) is valid only for local indexes.

Action: a) Specify a tablespace list in place of DEFAULT, or b) Remove
STORE IN clause and specify tablespaces individually for each
index partition.

ORA-14183
ORA-14183, 00000, “TABLESPACE DEFAULT can be specified only for Composite LOCAL index”

Cause: User attempted to specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT for a partition of a Range/System/Hash
partitioned LOCAL index object, which is illegal.

Action: Replace TABLESPACE DEFAULT with TABLESPACE or remove it.

ORA-14184
ORA-14184, 00000, “cannot create an UNIQUE partitioned index on a SYSTEM partitioned table”

Document: NO

Cause: User attempted to create a UNIQUE partitioned index on a SYSTEM
partitioned table

Action: Remove UNIQUE keyword

ORA-14185
ORA-14185, 00000, “incorrect physical attribute specified for this index partition”

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical attributes
of a local index partition; valid options for Range or Composite Range
partitions are INITRANS, MAXTRANS, TABLESPACE, STORAGE, PCTFREE, PCTUSED,
LOGGING and TABLESPACE; but only TABLESPACE may be specified for Hash partitions
// STORE IN () is also disallowed for all but Composite Range partitions

Action: remove invalid option(s) from the list of physical attributes
of an index partition

ORA-14186
ORA-14186, 0000, “number of sub-partitions of LOCAL index must equal that of the underlying table”

Cause: User attempted to create a LOCAL partitioned index with a
number of sub-partitions which is different from that of the
underlying table.

Action: Correct the CREATE INDEX statement to specify a correct
number of sub-partitions

ORA-14187
ORA-14187, 0000, “partitioning method for LOCAL index is inconsistent with that of the underlying table”

Cause: User attempted to create a LOCAL partitioned index that is not equi-partitioned with
the underlying table. The partitioning types are mismatched.

Action: Correct the CREATE INDEX statement to ensure that the index partitionining
method is consistent with that of the base table

ORA-14188
ORA-14188, 0000, “sub-partitioning columns must form a subset of key columns of a UNIQUE index”

Cause: User attempted to create a UNIQUE partitioned index whose
sub-partitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns
which is illegal

Action: If the user, indeed, desired to create an index whose
subpartitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns,
it must be created as non-UNIQUE; otherwise, correct the
list of key and/or subpartitioning columns to ensure that the index’
subpartitioning columns form a subset of its key columns

ORA-14189
ORA-14189, 00000, “this physical attribute may not be specified for an index subpartition”

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical
attributes of an index subpartition; TABLESPACE is the only valid
option

Action: remove invalid option(s)

ORA-14190
ORA-14190, 00000, “only one ENABLE/DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT clause can be specified”

Cause: One of three possible actions caused the error:
1) ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT was specified more than once.
2) DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT was specified more than once.
3) Both ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT and DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT were
specified.

Action: Remove all but one of the ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT or DISABLE ROW
MOVEMENT clauses; then, reissue the command.

ORA-14191

for the given object as well as any tablespaces implicitly
assigned to partitions or subpartitions of the object being created
are all of the same block size.

ORA-14520
ORA-14520, 00000, “Tablespace %s block size [%s] does not match existing object block size [%s]”

Cause: A DDL statement was issued that would require a tablespace of a
block size different from the block size of the specified
partitioned object to be assigned either:
(1) As the object’s default tablespace (or one of the
object’s partition-level default tablespaces,
if composite partitioning is being used) OR

subpartition in one of the partition-level default
tablespaces of an existing composite partitioned
object. However, the partition-level default tablespace
block size does not match the block size of the partitioned object.

Action: Either
(1) Modify the partition-level default tablespace of the
appropriate partition of the partitioned
object to a tablespace of the same block size as the
object and then retry the DDL command, OR
(2) Ensure that tablespaces of the correct block size are
specified for all new subpartitions being
created.

ORA-14523
ORA-14523, 00000, “Cannot co-locate [sub]partition of %s %s with table [sub]partition because %s block size [%s] does not match table block size [%s]”

Cause: A DDL statement was issued that would require
a partition/subpartition of a local index/LOB column to
be co-located with the corresponding partition/subpartition
of the base table. However, this is not possible because
the block sizes of the table and the LOB column/local
index are different.

Action: Either
(1) Specify an object-level default tablespace (or
partition-level default tablespace for the
appropriate partition, if composite partitioning is
used) for the partitioned local index/LOB column
and then retry the DDL command, OR
(2) Ensure that tablespaces of the correct block size are
specified for all new partitions/subpartitions being
created.
Also ensure that neither of TABLESPACE DEFAULT and
STORE IN (DEFAULT) is specified for a local index whose
block size does not match that of the base table.

the broker configuration to ensure they are identical. Once all
of the datbases in the broker configuration are running the same
version of Oracle, reenable the standby databases that were
disabled.

ORA-16625
ORA-16625, 0000, “cannot reach the database”

Cause: The command could not be executed because the database required
to complete the command was not reachable from the database
where the command was issued. If the command modifies the
configuration, the command must be processed by the copy of the
broker running on an instance of the primary database.

Action: Check the network connections between all of the databases
in the configuration. Alternatively, connect to a different
database in the Data Guard broker configuration and retry the
command. If an attempt was made to determine the status of
a particular database in the configuration, connect to that
database and get the current value of the StatusReport property
for that database.

ORA-16626
ORA-16626, 0000, “failed to enable specified database”

Cause: This status was returned when attempting to enable a standby
database that:
– Could not locate itself in the broker configuration file.
– Failed to distinguish itself from two or more databases in
the configuration file.
– Determined it missed a role change within the configuration.

Action: To correct the problem, try one of these actions:
– Confirm that the host and SID names for the database exactly
match the values in the HOST_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME columns
of V$INSTANCE.
– Confirm that there are not two or more databases with the
same connect identifier. That is, multiple databases in the
broker configuration should not reach the same database.
– If a failover had been performed and the old primary database
has been re-created (or a standby database has been re-created),
make sure the Data Guard broker configuration files have been
removed for that database. Do NOT remove the configuration
files that are in use by the new primary database.

ORA-16627
ORA-16627, 0000, “operation disallowed since no standby databases would remain to support protection mode”

Cause: This status was returned because of one of the following:
– The broker rejected an attempt to change the overall
configuration protection mode since it could not find any
enabled standby databases that supported the proposed protection
mode.
– The broker rejected an attempt to enable the configuration
if it determined that there were no enabled standby databases
that supported the overall protection mode.
– The broker rejected an attempt to disable or remove a database
that, if disabled or deleted, would result in no remaining
standby databases that could support the overall configuration
protection mode.
– The broker rejected an attempt to switchover if doing so would
violate the overall configuration protection mode.
– Performing automatic health check if the broker determined that
no standby datbases supported the overall protection mode.

Action: - If changing the overall protection mode, confirm that at least
one standby database satisfies the new protection mode.
– For enable failures, confirm that at least one standby database
has a LogXptMode configurable property setting that supports
the current overall protection mode.
– For delete and disable failures, confirm that at least one
other standby database has a LogXptMode configurable property
setting that supports the overall protection mode.
– For switchover failures that occur when the configuration
is operating in maximum protection or maximum availability
mode, confirm that at least one other standby database has its
LogXptMode configurable property set to the value “SYNC”.
If the configuration contains a primary database and a single
standby database and is operating in either maximum protection
or maximum availability mode, ensure that the LogXptMode
configurable property of the primary database is set to the
value “SYNC”. Since the old primary database will become the
standby database after switchover completes, its LogXptMode
configurable property setting must support the configuration
protection mode.
– For health check error, confirm that at least one standby
database has a LogXptMode configurable property setting
that supports the current overall protection mode.

ORA-16628
ORA-16628, 00000, “broker protection mode inconsistent with the database setting”

Cause: The Data Guard broker protection mode saved in the broker
configuration file was inconsistent with the actual database
setting.

Action: Reset the protection mode through the Data Guard broker.

ORA-16629
ORA-16629, 00000, “database reports a different protection level from the protection mode”

Cause: The actual or current database protection level was different
from the configured protection mode. This typically is caused
by redo transport problems.

Action: Check the database alert logs and Data Guard broker logs
for more details. Also, check the redo transport status. Ensure
that one standby database supports the configured protection
mode and that the network to that standby database is working
properly.

ORA-16630
ORA-16630, 00000, “database property has been deprecated”

Cause: The property that was specified in the command was deprecated.

Action: Check the broker documentation to identify a replacement property
or SQL command for the deprecated property.

ORA-16631
ORA-16631, 00000, “operation requires shutdown of database or instance \”%s\”"

Cause: The Data Guard broker operation required a shutdown of the
database or instance.

Action: If database or instance has not been shutdown by the DGMGRL CLI
or Enterprise Manager, shutdown the database or instance
manually.

ORA-16632
ORA-16632, 00000, “instance being added to database profile”

Cause: The Data Guard broker determined that an instance
successfully found its database profile within the broker
configuration file, but lacked an instance-specific profile.
The broker automatically created an instance-specific
profile and associated the instance with its database profile.

Action: No user action is required. The broker will automatically
associate the instance with its database profile and incorporate
the instance into broker activity.

ORA-16633
ORA-16633, 00000, “the only instance of the database cannot be removed”

Cause: The instance to be removed was the only instance of the
corresponding database that was known to the broker.

Action: Remove the corresponding database object from the broker
configuration instead of the individual instance object of
the database.

ORA-16634
ORA-16634, 0000, “Event for Data Guard NetSlave tracing”

Document: NO

Cause: This is an Oracle internal event code. This event is used to
control trace output of the Data Guard NetSlave process. DO
NOT USE.

Action: N/A, this is an Oracle internal event code.

ORA-16635
ORA-16635, 0000, “network connection failed during transmission”

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a connection failure to a remote
database in the broker configuration. This failure happened
in the middle of a transmission session. A transmission session
usually requires more than one send operation for sending a large
amount of data (for example, the broker configuration file) to
the remote database.

Action: In most cases, no user action is required. The Data Guard broker
always tries to resend the data. This error will be reported if the
problem persists. This error indicates there are some problems
with the network connection between broker managed databases.
Further network troubleshooting should be done to identify and
correct the actual problem.

ORA-16636
ORA-16636, 0000, “fast-start failover target standby in error state, cannot stop observer”

Cause: A STOP OBSERVER operation could not be completed when fast-start
failover was enabled because the target standby database could
not participate in the STOP OBSERVER operation.

Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the
Data Guard broker log file for the primary database. This
information helps to identify the reason why the target standby
database was unable to participate in the STOP OBSERVER operation.
If the problem can be corrected by the information in the broker
log file, retry the operation. Alternatively, fast-start failover
may be forcibly disabled by connecting to the primary database
and issuing the DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER FORCE command from
the DGMGRL CLI. Once fast-start failover has been forcibly
disabled, the observer can be stopped regardless of the current
state of the target standby database.

ORA-16637
ORA-16637, 0000, “an instance failed to access the Data Guard broker configuration”

Cause: The broker could not access the broker configuration files on one
or more database instances. This can happen when the
DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameter values are
not to the same set of file locations for a RAC database.

Action: Shut off the broker by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization
parameter to false. Then set the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and
DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2 initialization parameters to file locations
that are shared by all instances of a RAC database. Finally,
restart the broker by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization
parameter to true.

ORA-16638
ORA-16638, 00000, “could not get the instance status”

Cause: The broker could not determine whether the specified instance was
running.

Action: See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
information. If the situation described in the next error in the
stack can be corrected, do so; otherwise, contact Oracle Support
Services.

ORA-16639
ORA-16639, 0000, “specified instance inactive or currently unavailable”

Cause: An attempt was made to perform an operation on an instance that
was not running or was unavailable.

Action: Ensure that the instance specified in the operation is running
and then retry the operation.

ORA-16640
ORA-16640, 00000, “CRS warns that multiple instances may still be running”

Cause: The broker failed to have CRS stop instance monitoring and
shut down all but one instance. CRS instance monitoring
did stop, but CRS may not have been able to shut down all but
one instance. The broker operation was canceled.

Action: Suspend CRS management of this database using
SRVCTL STOP DATABASE -D <NAME> -O NONE. Reissue the broker
request.

ORA-16641
ORA-16641, 0000, “failure to acquire broker configuration metadata lock”

Document: NO

Cause: This was an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16642
ORA-16642, 0000, “DB_UNIQUE_NAME mismatch”

Cause: The expected DB_UNIQUE_NAME value did not match the actual
DB_UNIQUE_NAME value for the database that the broker contacted
using the connect identifier that was associated with that
database.

Action: Verify that the connect identifier correctly connects to the
intended database. Verify that the name of the database the
broker expects to find by that connect identifier matches the
actual DB_UNIQUE_NAME for that database.

ORA-16643
ORA-16643, 0000, “unable to determine location of broker configuration files”

Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to determine the location of
its configuration files from the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2]
initialization parameters.

Action: Retry the operation and, if the error persists, contact Oracle
Support Services.

ORA-16644
ORA-16644, 0000, “apply instance not available”

Cause: The broker operation could not finish, because it requires
a running apply instance for the standby database, and either
there was no such instance designated for the standby database
or the designated apply instance was not currently available.

Action: Start the designated apply instance or wait until the broker
specifies an instance to be the apply instance and reissue the
command.

ORA-16645
ORA-16645, 0000, “unexpected new instance interrupted current operation”

Cause: A new instance unexpectedly joined the Data Guard configuration
at a point when the current operation may proceed only if the
set of known instances is not changing dynamically.

Action: Reissue the operation after the new instance has joined the
Data Guard configuration.

ORA-16646
ORA-16646, 0000, “fast-start failover is disabled”

Cause: The operation was not allowed because fast-start failover was
disabled.

Action: Enable fast-start failover and retry the operation.

ORA-16647
ORA-16647, 0000, “could not start more than one observer”

Cause: The observer could not start because there was another observer
already observing the Data Guard configuration for which
fast-start failover may have been enabled.

Action: Stop the running observer. Retry the operation.

ORA-16648
ORA-16648, 0000, “a new observer registered with identifier %s”

Cause: The observer was registered with the Data Guard broker and will
begin observing the Data Guard configuration for conditions that
warrant doing a fast-start failover.

Action: None

ORA-16649
ORA-16649, 0000, “possible failover to another database prevents this database being opened”

Cause: An attempt to open the database was made either when a failover
occurred or while fast-start failover was enabled and the
fast-start failover status could not be evaluated.

Action: Check if a failover did occur. If fast-start failover is enabled,
and a failover did not occur, ensure that connectivity
exists between this database and either the observer or the
target standby database. Then, try opening the database again.

ORA-16650
ORA-16650, 0000, “command incompatible when fast-start failover is enabled”

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that is not permitted when
fast-start failover is enabled. The command was not issued using
the Data Guard broker.

Action: The command must be issued using the Data Guard broker.

ORA-16651
ORA-16651, 0000, “requirements not met for enabling fast-start failover”

Cause: The attempt to enable fast-start failover could not be completed
because one or more requirements were not met:
– The Data Guard configuration must be in either MaxAvailability
or MaxPerformance protection mode.
– The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and
the fast-start failover target standby database must be
set to SYNC if the configuration protection mode is set to
MaxAvailability mode.
– The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and
the fast-start failover target standby database must be
set to ASYNC if the configuration protection mode is set to
MaxPerformance mode.
– The primary database and the fast-start failover target standby
database must both have flashback enabled.
– No valid target standby database was specified in the primary
database FastStartFailoverTarget property prior to the attempt
to enable fast-start failover, and more than one standby
database exists in the Data Guard configuration.

Action: Retry the command after correcting the issue:
– Set the Data Guard configuration to either MaxAvailability
or MaxPerformance protection mode.
– Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary
database and the fast-start failover target standby database
are set to SYNC if the configuration protection mode is set to
MaxAvailability.
– Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary
database and the fast-start failover target standby database
are set to ASYNC if the configuration protection mode is set to
MaxPerformance.
– Ensure that both the primary database and the fast-start failover
target standby database have flashback enabled.
– Set the primary database FastStartFailoverTarget property to
the DB_UNIQUE_NAME value of the desired target standby database
and the desired target standby database FastStartFailoverTarget
property to the DB_UNIQUE_NAME value of the primary database.

ORA-16652
ORA-16652, 0000, “fast-start failover target standby database is disabled”

Cause: The command to enable or disable fast-start failover could not be
completed because Data Guard broker management of the fast-start
failover target standby database is currently disabled.

Action: Enable broker management of the target standby database and
reissue the command. If an attempt was made to disable fast-start
failover when this error was reported, disable fast-start failover
forcibly using the DGMGRL DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER FORCE
command. Consult the documentation for more information.

ORA-16653
ORA-16653, 0000, “failed to reinstate database”

Cause: The Data Guard broker failed to reinstate the specified database
because the REINSTATE command failed or because the database is
already enabled.

Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the
primary database or the specified database Data Guard
broker log files. This information is helpful in determining
how to proceed.

ORA-16654
ORA-16654, 0000, “fast-start failover is enabled”

Cause: The attempted command was not allowed while fast-start failover
was enabled:
– The FastStartFailoverTarget property may not be modified.
– The LogXptMode property for either the primary database or the
fast-start failover target standby database may not be modified.
– The configuration’s protection mode may not be modified.
– Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover
target standby database may be disabled using the DGMGRL CLI
DISABLE command.
– Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover
target standby database may be removed using the DGMGRL CLI
REMOVE command.
– The FAILOVER IMMEDIATE command is not allowed.
– The DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter may not be
set to FALSE.

Action: Disable fast-start failover, using the FORCE option if required.
Then retry the attempted command.

ORA-16655
ORA-16655, 0000, “specified target standby database invalid”

Cause: The attempted command was not allowed because fast-start failover
was enabled for this Data Guard configuration and the target
standby database specified in the command differs from the standby
database that was indicated by the FastStartFailoverTarget property
associated with the current primary database.

Action: Retry the attempted command by specifying the standby database
that is indicated by the FastStartFailoverTarget property that is
associated with the current primary database. Alternatively,
fast-start failover may be disabled. Then retry the command
using the originally specified target standby database.

ORA-16656
ORA-16656, 0000, “Data Guard broker detected role change”

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a role during database startup or
health check.

Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the
Data Guard broker log files, one for the primary database and
one for each standby database in the Data Guard configuration. This
information is helpful in determining how best to proceed from
this failure.

ORA-16657
ORA-16657, 0000, “reinstatement of database in progress”

Cause: Reinstatement of this database was in progress.

Action: None

ORA-16658
ORA-16658, 0000, “unobserved fast-start failover configuration”

Cause: The fast-start failover configuration was currently unobserved
so failover was disallowed.

Action: Make sure the observer is running and has connectivity to both
the primary and the target standby databases. Otherwise, disable
fast-start failover to perform a failover in the absence of the
observer process.

ORA-16659
ORA-16659, 0000, “failover operation in progress”

Cause: A primary database that restarted contacted a standby database
that is being failed over to.

Action: Shut down the primary database and wait for failover to complete
on the standby database. Once failover is complete, restart the
old primary database. If the failover occurred due to fast-start
failover, restarting the primary database after failover is
complete allows it to be automatically reinstated as a standby
database to the new primary database.

ORA-16660
ORA-16660, 0000, “fast-start failover operation attempted in absence of a broker configuration”

Cause: An attempt was made to enable or disable fast-start failover when
connected to a standby database for which broker configuration
details are currently unavailable. For instance, the standby
database may currently require re-creation (or flashback
reinstantiation) before it may respond to broker client commands.

Action: 1) An attempt to enable or disable (non-FORCE) fast-start failover
at this standby database will be rejected until such time that the
broker configuration details have been made available to that
standby database from the primary database. This normally occurs
when the standby database is successfully re-created or flashed
back, and then reenabled at the primary database.
2) Use the FORCE option to override fast-start failover that
has been enabled at the standby database even when the broker
configuration details are currently unavailable to the standby
database. In this case, this status message is only a warning.
Note that fast-start failover is not formally disabled in the
broker configuration. The effect of this command issued under these
circumstances may or may not be permanent, depending upon when
the primary and standby databases regain full communication
between each other and if the state of fast-start failover has
been altered at the primary database in the meantime.

ORA-16661
ORA-16661, 00000, “the standby database needs to be reinstated”

Cause: A switchover or failover operation has caused this database to
require reinstatement.

Action: Use the DGMGRL REINSTATE DATABASE command or Enterprise Manager to
reinstate the database. If the target database has flashback
enabled and it has sufficient flashback logs, the database will
be reinstated as a standby database for the current primary
database.

ORA-16662
ORA-16662, 0000, “network timeout when contacting a database”

Cause: In response to the issued command, the Data Guard broker attempted
to contact a database in the Data Guard configuration. That
attempt failed because there was no response from that database
after the period of time specified by the NetTimeout property
for that database.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the details of the failure.
Fix the problem and try the command again.

ORA-16663
ORA-16663, 0000, “event to control broker actions in the development environment”

Document: NO

Cause: This is an Oracle internal event code. This event is used
to control the broker actions in the development environment.
DO NOT USE.

Action: N/A, this is an Oracle internal event code.

ORA-16664
ORA-16664, 0000, “unable to receive the result from a database”

Cause: During execution of a command, a database in the Data Guard
broker configuration failed to return a result.

Action: Check Data Guard broker logs for the details of the failure.
Fix any possible network problems and try the command again.

ORA-16665
ORA-16665, 0000, “timeout waiting for the result from a database”

Cause: The Data Guard broker was forced to time out a network connection

ORA-16666
ORA-16666, 00000, “unable to initiate fast-start failover on a standby database”

Cause: The request to initiate a fast-start failover using
DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_FAILOVER was made to a standby database.
An application may only request that fast-start failover be
initiated by calling DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_FAILOVER on a primary
database.

Action: Call DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_FAILOVER on the primary database.

ORA-16667
ORA-16667, 00000, “request Data Guard broker client to reissue command”

Cause: The Data Guard broker operation required the same command be issued
again from the client.

Action: If DGMGRL or Enterprise Manager has not already done so,
reissue the same command to the Data Guard broker manually.

ORA-16668
ORA-16668, 0000, “operation invalid on fast-start failover target database”

Cause: The attempted command was not allowed on the fast-start failover
target standby database when fast-start failover is currently
enabled.

Action: Retry the attempted command on a database other than the fast-start
failover target standby database. Alternatively, disable
fast-start failover and reissue the same command to the
fast-start failover target standby database.

ORA-16700
ORA-16700, 00000, “the standby database has diverged from the primary database”

Cause: The primary database may have been flashed back or restored
from a backup set and then reopened with the RESETLOGS
option.

Action: Re-create the standby database from the primary database or
flash back the standby database to the same point the primary
database had been flashed back to.

ORA-16701
ORA-16701, 00000, “Data Guard broker command failed”

Cause: Command to modify or query the database failed.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the reason for the failure,
and reissue the command.

ORA-16702
ORA-16702, 00000, “Data Guard broker command warning”

Cause: A command to modify or query the database resulted in a warning.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the warning and, if
necessary, reissue the command.

ORA-16703
ORA-16703, 00000, “cannot set property while the database is enabled”

Cause: An attempt was made to change a database property while the
database was enabled.

Action: Disable the database first, update the property and then, reenable
the database.

ORA-16704
ORA-16704, 00000, “cannot modify a read-only property”

Cause: An attempt was made to change a read-only property.

Action: The property is controlled internally by the Data Guard broker
and cannot be modified.

ORA-16705
ORA-16705, 00000, “internal error in Data guard broker”

Document: NO

Cause: This was an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16706
ORA-16706, 00000, “no resource guard is available”

Cause: Resource guard was not available to service the request.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16707
ORA-16707, 00000, “the value of the property %s is invalid, valid values are %s”

Cause: An invalid property value was entered while broker management of
the database was disabled.

Action: Reset the property to a valid value.

ORA-16708
ORA-16708, 00000, “the state supplied to broker is invalid”

Cause: The state name specified was invalid for the database.

Action: Check the state name and reissue the request.

ORA-16709
ORA-16709, 00000, “standby archived log location settings conflict with database recovery area”

Cause: The StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation property was set
to USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, but the initialization
parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST did not specify a valid
destination.

Action: Use a value other than USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST for
StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation, or set up a valid
database recovery area by setting DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to
a valid destination.

ORA-16711
ORA-16711, 00000, “the resource guard index is out of bounds”

Document: NO

Cause: This was an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16712
ORA-16712, 00000, “the resource handle is invalid”

Document: NO

Cause: This was an internal error.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16713
ORA-16713, 00000, “the Data Guard broker command timed out”

Cause: The Data Guard broker timed out the command.

Action: Verify that the command is valid for the database and then
retry the command.

ORA-16714
ORA-16714, 0000, “the value of property %s is inconsistent with the database setting”

Cause: The value of the specified configuration property was inconsistent
with database in-memory settings or server parameter file
settings. This may be caused by changing an initialization
parameter that corresponds to a configuration property.

Action: Query the InconsistentProperties property on the database to
determine the which properties are set inconsistently. Reset the
properties to make them with the database settings.

ORA-16715
ORA-16715, 0000, “redo transport-related property %s of standby database \”%s\” is inconsistent”

Cause: The value of the specified redo transport-related configuration
property of the given standby database was inconsistent
with the primary database redo transport service setting. This
may be caused by changing an initialization parameter that
corresponds to a configuration property.

Action: Query the InconsistentLogXptProps property on the primary database
to determine which redo transport properties are set inconsistently
Reset the properties on the standby database to make them consistent
with the primary database redo transport settings.

ORA-16716
ORA-16716, 00000, “clearing parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST failed”

Cause: An attempt to clear the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter failed.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16717
ORA-16717, 00000, “clearing parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST failed”

Cause: An attempt to clear the LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameter failed.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16718
ORA-16718, 00000, “failed to locate database”

Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to locate the database in the
broker configuration.

Action: Add the database to the broker configuration and then reissue
the command.

ORA-16719
ORA-16719, 00000, “unable to query V$ARCHIVE_DEST fixed view”

Cause: The broker failed to query the V$ARCHIVE_DEST fixed view.”

Action: Test and clear the problem using SQL*Plus.

ORA-16720
ORA-16720, 00000, “no LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters available”

Cause: All LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters were in use.

Action: Clear one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters
so that broker can use them to setup the primary database
redo transport.

ORA-16721
ORA-16721, 00000, “unable to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters”

Cause: The broker was unable to set one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
initialization parameters.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert logs
for more details.

ORA-16722
ORA-16722, 00000, “unable to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n initialization parameters”

Cause: The broker was unable to set one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n
initialization parameters.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert logs
for more details.

ORA-16723
ORA-16723, 00000, “setting AlternateLocation property conflicts with the redo transport setting”

Cause: The standby database was not using standby redo logs, and
the redo transport service to the standby database is set to a
nonzero value for the ReopenSecs property and a value of zero for
the MaxFailure property. In this case, the redo transport service
will attempt to send redo data to the standby database
indefinitely and never switch to the alternate destination.

Action: Any one of the following actions will solve the problem:
– add standby redo logs to the standby database.
– set ReopenSecs property to zero.
– set MaxFailure property to a nonzero value.
After performing one of the above actions, reset the standby
database AlternateLocation property.

ORA-16725

view to see if the problem has been corrected, and retry the
operation.

ORA-16792
ORA-16792, 0000, “configurable property value is inconsistent with database setting”

Cause: The values of one or more configurable properties were
inconsistent with database in-memory settings or server parameter
file settings. This may happen by directly altering initialization
parameters instead of editing configurable property values using
Data Guard broker.

Action: Query the InconsistentProperties property on the database or check
the Data Guard broker log to find which properties are set
inconsistently. Reset these properties to make them consistent
with the database settings. Alternatively, enable the database
or the entire configuration to allow the configurable property
settings to be propagated to the initialization parameters.

ORA-16793
ORA-16793, 0000, “logical standby database guard is off”

Cause: The logical standby database guard was turned off.

and verify that Data Guard health check error or warning is
cleared.

ORA-16795
ORA-16795, 0000, “the standby database needs to be re-created”

Cause: A switchover or failover operation caused this database to
require re-creation. The database was marked for re-creation
because it was not a viable standby database for the new primary
database.

Until this error status is resolved for this database, information
about this database and the broker configuration to which it
belongs is unavailable to a broker client that is connected to
this database. Therefore, all commands directed by that client to
this database cannot be completed.

Action: Re-create (or flash back) the standby database. Connect to the
primary database in the broker configuration and reenable broker
management of that database. Once enabled, it is possible
to connect to that standby database and manage it with the broker.

Alternatively, many client commands that cannot be completed at
the standby database when in this error state can be completed
successfully when issued to the primary database. In this case,
simply reconnect to the primary database and retry the command.

ORA-16796
ORA-16796, 0000, “one or more properties could not be imported from the database”

Cause: The broker was unable to import property values for the database
being added to the broker configuration. This error indicates:
– The Oracle Net service name specified in DGMGRL CREATE
CONFIGURATION or ADD DATABASE command was not one that provides
access to the database being added.
– There were no instances running for the database being added.

Action: Remove the database from the configuration using the REMOVE
CONFIGURATION or REMOVE DATABASE command. Make sure that the
database to be added has at least one instance running and that the
Oracle Net service name provides access to the running instance.
Also check the broker log file for additional information.
Then, reissue the CREATE CONFIGURATION or ADD DATABASE command.

ORA-16797
ORA-16797, 0000, “database is not using a server parameter file”

Cause: The database was not using a server parameter file or the broker
was unable to access the server parameter file.

Action: Issue the CREATE SPFILE=’..’ FROM PFILE=’…’” command to create
a server parameter file and then restart the database to use it.

ORA-16798
ORA-16798, 0000, “unable to complete terminal recovery on the standby database”

Cause: Terminal recovery on the standby database failed during the
failover operation.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and the Oracle alert logs to see
more details on the reason for the failure.

ORA-16799
ORA-16799, 0000, “Redo Apply is not running”

Cause: Either the Data Guard broker metadata indicates that Redo Apply
was turned off, or the recovery process, MRP0, was not
running. As a result, Redo Apply-related properties could not be
set.

Action: Turn on Redo Apply through Data Guard broker and reissue the
command to set a Redo Apply-related property.

ORA-16800
ORA-16800, 00000, “redo transport service for a standby database incorrectly set to ALTERNATE”

Cause: The redo transport service for a standby database was set to
ALTERNATE when no other destination is set to alternate to this
destination.

Action: Reenable the standby database or the entire configuration to allow
the configuration property settings to be propagated to the
initialization parameters.

ORA-16801
ORA-16801, 0000, “redo transport-related property is inconsistent with database setting”

Cause: The values of one or more redo transport-related configuration
properties were inconsistent with database in-memory settings or
server parameter file settings. This may happen by directly
altering initialization parameters instead of editing configurable
property values using Data Guard broker.

Action: Query the InconsistentLogXptProps property on the primary database
or check the Data Guard broker log to find which properties are
set inconsistently. Reset these properties to make them consistent
with the database settings. Alternatively, enable the database
or the entire configuration to allow the configurable property
settings to be propagated to the initialization parameters.

ORA-16802
ORA-16802, 0000, “downgrading redo transport mode from SYNC disallowed”

Cause: An attempt was made to downgrade the redo transport mode
of a standby database from SYNC to ASYNC when the configuration
was in Maximum Protection or Maximum Availability mode and the
primary database was a RAC database. This was not disallowed
even though there may have been other standby databases with redo
transport modes set to SYNC to support the protection mode.

Action: Do one of the following if the redo transport mode of the standby
must be downgraded:
– Shut down all instances of the primary database and
restart one instance with the initialization parameter
CLUSTER_DATABASE set to FALSE. Downgrade the redo transport
mode of the standby database of interest. Then, shutdown the
instance, set the the CLUSTER_DATABASE initialization
parameter to TRUE, and restart all primary database instances.
– Downgrade the protection mode to Maximum Performance mode and
then, downgrade the redo transport mode of the standby database
of interest. Finally, upgrade the protection mode. This will
require a restart of all primary database instances if upgrading
to Maximum Protection mode.
Note that the above only works when there is at least one standby
database in the configuration that has its redo transport mode
set to SYNC.

ORA-16803
ORA-16803, 0000, “unable to query a database table or fixed view”

Cause: Failed to query a database table or fixed view. The database
may not be opened or mounted.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for more details.

ORA-16804
ORA-16804, 0000, “one or more configuration properties in metadata have invalid values”

Cause: Data Guard broker health check detected that one or more
configuration properties in the broker configuration had
invalid values. The property values were changed while
broker management of the database was disabled.

Action: Check Data Guard broker log for more details on which properties
have invalid values and reset them through the Data Guard broker.

ORA-16805
ORA-16805, 0000, “change of LogXptMode property violates overall protection mode”

Cause: The broker disallowed the attempt to change the LogXptMode
configurable property for the standby database because, if allowed,
the overall protection mode for the configuration would have been
violated.

Action: If the LogXptMode configuration property must be changed for the
specified standby database, first downgrade the overall
protection mode for the broker configuration. After that operation
has completed, the LogXptMode configuration property for the
standby database can be changed.

ORA-16806
ORA-16806, 0000, “supplemental logging is not turned on”

Cause: Supplemental logging was not turned on while there was a logical
standby database in the configuration. This could happen either
on the primary database or on the logical standby database that
was being switched over to be the primary database.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for more details. Issue the ALTER
DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE INDEX)
COLUMNS to add supplemental logging.

ORA-16807
ORA-16807, 0000, “unable to change database protection mode”

Cause: An attempt to issue the ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY TO MAXIMIZE

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and the Oracle log for more
information.

ORA-16808
ORA-16808, 0000, “primary database is not open”

Cause: A prior attempt to open the primary database was disallowed
because the fast-start failover status could not be evaluated. The
fast-start failover status has since been evaluated and the
database can now be opened.

Action: Open the database by issuing the SQL*Plus ALTER DATABASE OPEN
command.

ORA-16809

Data Guard broker expected them to be running upon.

Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16813
ORA-16813, 0000, “log apply service not running on apply instance %s recorded by the broker”

Cause: Log apply services were not running on the instance the
Data Guard broker expected them to be running upon.

Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16814
ORA-16814, 0000, “incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby database”

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected an incorrect redo transport
setting for a standby database AlternateLocation property.
The incorrect setting could be one of the following:
– The AlternateLocation property was empty, but the redo
transport to the standby database had an ALTERNATE setting.
– The AlternateLocation property was not empty and the redo
transport to the standby database had no ALTERNATE setting.
– The AlternateLocation property did not match the ALTERNATE
setting in the redo transport. The mismatch may include
service string, directory specification of the alternate
location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute.
– The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter corresponding to the
alternate location was not set to ALTERNATE.
– The flash recovery area was being used by the standby database
for archived logs, but the redo transport to the standby
database still had an ALTERNATE setting for the
AlternateLocation property.
Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of
the above cases caused the error.

Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.

ORA-16815
ORA-16815, 0000, “incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby database \”%s\”"

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected an incorrect redo transport
setting for a standby database AlternateLocation property.
The incorrect setting could be one of the following:
– The AlternateLocation property was empty, but the redo
transport to the standby database had an ALTERNATE setting.
– The AlternateLocation property was not empty and the redo
transport to the standby database had no ALTERNATE setting.
– The AlternateLocation property did not match the ALTERNATE
setting in the redo transport. The mismatch may include
service string, directory specification of the alternate
location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute.
– The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter corresponding to the
alternate location was not set to ALTERNATE.
– The flash recovery area was being used by the standby database
for archived logs, but the redo transport to the standby
database still had an ALTERNATE setting for the
AlternateLocation property.
Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of
the above cases caused the error.

Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.

ORA-16816
ORA-16816, 0000, “incorrect database role”

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that the specified database
had a database role that was different from the database role
recorded in the Data Guard configuration. This could be
the result of a failed switchover or failover operation, or
an out-of-band switchover or failover operation done to the
database.

Action: Manually fix the database to convert it to the appropriate
database role, then issue an ENABLE DATABASE command to reenable
the database.

ORA-16817
ORA-16817, 0000, “unsynchronized fast-start failover configuration”

Cause: The fast-start failover target standby database was not
synchronized with the primary database. As a result, a fast-start
failover could not happen automatically in case of a primary
database failure.

Action: Ensure that the fast-start failover target standby database is
running and that the primary database can ship redo data to it.
When the standby database has received all of the redo data from
the primary database, the primary and standby databases will then
be synchronized. The Data Guard configuration may then fail over
automatically to the standby database in the event of loss of the
primary database.

ORA-16818
ORA-16818, 0000, “fast-start failover suspended”

Cause: The primary database was intentionally shutdown. As a result,
a fast-start failover could not happen automatically.

Action: Start the primary database. This effectively restores the
ability to automatically perform a fast-start failover in the
event of a failure of the primary database.

ORA-16819
ORA-16819, 0000, “fast-start failover observer not started”

Cause: The observer for fast-start failover was not started. As a
result, fast-start failover could not happen in the case of
a primary database failure.

Action: Start the fast-start failover observer by using, for example, the
DGMGRL START OBSERVER command.

ORA-16820
ORA-16820, 0000, “fast-start failover observer is no longer observing this database”

Cause: A previously started observer was no longer actively observing this
database. A significant amount of time elapsed since this
database last heard from the observer.
Possible reasons were:
– The host where the observer was running was not available.
– The network connection between the observer and this database
was not available.
– The observer process was terminated unexpectedly.

Action: Check the reason why the observer cannot contact this database.
If the problem cannot be corrected, stop the current observer by
connecting to the Data Guard configuration and issue the DGMGRL
STOP OBSERVER command. Then, restart the observer on another
host. Finally, use the DGMGRL START OBSERVER command to start the
observer on the other host.

ORA-16821
ORA-16821, 0000, “logical standby database dictionary not yet loaded”

Cause: The logical standby database had not loaded the dictionary.
This status was detected by the broker health check mechanism.
Alternatively, this status may be returned when attempting to
switch or fail over to a logical standby database that had not
yet loaded its dictionary.

Action: Start SQL Apply on the logical standby database, if it is not
already running, and wait for it to reach the APPLYING state.

ORA-16822
ORA-16822, 0000, “new primary database not yet ready for standby database reinstatement”

Cause: The new primary database, as a result of a logical standby
database failover operation, had not fully completed the failover
operation. An attempt to reinstate a disabled standby database
could not be completed until failover completed on the new
primary database.

Action: Wait until the failover operation has completed on the new primary
database. Then retry the reinstate operation.

ORA-16823
ORA-16823, 0000, “redo transport mode is incompatible for current operation”

Cause: The redo transport mode of this database was incompatible for this
broker operation.

Action: Reset the LogXptMode database property for this database and
retry the broker operation.

ORA-16824
ORA-16824, 0000, “multiple warnings, including fast-start failover-related warnings, detected for the database”

Cause: The broker detected multiple warnings for the database.
At least one of these warnings may have prevented fast-start
failover from occurring.

Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database
specified.

ORA-16825
ORA-16825, 0000, “multiple errors or warnings, including fast-start failover-related errors or warnings, detected for the database”

Cause: The broker detected multiple errors or warnings for the
database. At least one of these errors or warnings
may have prevented a fast-start failover from occurring.

Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database
specified.

ORA-16826
ORA-16826, 0000, “apply service state is inconsistent with the DelayMins property”

Cause: This warning was caused by one of the following reasons:
– The apply service was started without specifying the real-time
apply option or without the NODELAY option when the DelayMins
property was set to zero.
– The apply service was started with the real-time apply option or
with the NODELAY option when the DelayMins property was set to
a value greater than zero.

Action: Reenable the standby database to allow the broker to restart
the apply service with the apply options that are consistent
with the specified value of the DelayMins property.

ORA-16827
ORA-16827, 0000, “Flashback Database is disabled”

Cause: The broker detected that the Flashback Database feature was
disabled. With Flashback Database disabled, the broker would not
be able to:
– reinstate a database that required reinstatement.
– convert a physical standby database to a snapshot standby
database.
– convert a snapshot standby database to a physical standby
database.
Flashback Database may been disabled manually with the ALTER
DATABASE FLASHBACK DATABASE OFF command or automatically by the
database in the event of an error.

Action: Check the database alert log to determine whether Flashback
Database was disabled due to errors and then correct the
problem. If Flashback Database had been manually disabled,
reenable Flashback Database with the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK
DATABASE ON command. If, after enabling Flashback Database,
the database still cannot be reinstated or converted, you must
re-create the database from a copy of the primary database.

ORA-16828
ORA-16828, 00000, “invalid value specified for REDO_TRANSPORT_USER initialization parameter”

Cause: An invalid value was specified for the REDO_TRANSPORT_USER
initialization parameter. The length of the user name exceeded
30 characters.

Action: Check the documentation and specify a new value for the
REDO_TRANSPORT_USER initialization parameter.

ORA-16829
ORA-16829, 0000, “fast-start failover configuration is lagging”

Cause: The fast-start failover target standby database was not
within the lag limit specified by the FastStartFailoverLagLimit
configuration property. As a result, a fast-start failover
could not happen in the event of a primary database failure.

Action: Ensure that the fast-start failover target standby database is
running and applying redo data and that the primary database
is successfully trasmitting redo data. If this condition persists
consider raising the value of the FastStartFailoverLagLimit
configuration property.

ORA-16830
ORA-16830, 0000, “primary isolated from fast-start failover partners longer than FastStartFailoverThreshold seconds: shutting down”

Cause: The primary database was isolated from both the observer and
target standby database for longer than the seconds specified
by the FastStartFailoverThreshold property. A fast-start failover
probably occurred. If the FastStartFailoverPmyShutdown
configuration property was set to TRUE, the broker will shut down
the primary database in this situation.

Action: Ensure one instance of this database is running and the database
is mounted on that instance so that the broker may reinstate
the old primary database.

ORA-16831
ORA-16831, 00000, “operation disallowed on this standby database type”

Cause: The Data Guard broker operation was disallowed on the standby
database type.

Action: Check the documentation for the correct standby database type
and reissue the Data Guard broker command to another standby
database that is of the correct standby database type.

ORA-19577
ORA-19577, 00000, “file %s is MISSING”

Cause: A COPYDATAFILECOPY, RESTOREDATAFILETO or PROXYRESTOREDATAFILE
function specified a file number but no output file name,
indicating that the output file name should be taken from
the control file. However, the control file entry for this
file indicates that it was created for a file that was present
in the data dictionary but not named during the last CREATE
CONTROLFILE statement, so the name in the control file cannot
be used for restoration.

Action: Either specify an output file name or issue a SQL RENAME command
to enter a valid name for this file in the control file.

ORA-19578
ORA-19578, 00000, “end of volume while duplexing to sequential files, backup piece incomplete”

Cause: An end of volume (EOV) condition was detected while duplexing to
sequential files, and this condition cannot be handled currently.

Action: Before retrying the backup, make sure the backup pieces will fit in
the volume, or disable duplexing.

ORA-19579
ORA-19579, 00000, “archived log record for %s not found”

Cause: No archived log record corresponding to input file could be
found in the control file.

Action: Specify a valid archived log file name and retry the operation.

ORA-19580
ORA-19580, 00000, “%s conversation not active”

Cause: A backup or restore operation was attempted before a conversation
was started.

Action: Start a conversation then retry the operation.

ORA-19581
ORA-19581, 00000, “no files have been named”

Cause: An attempt was made to proceed from the file naming phase to the
piece processing phase of a backup or restore conversation
before any files have been specified for backup or restore.

Action: Specify some files then retry the operation.

ORA-19582
ORA-19582, 00000, “archived log file header validation for %s failed”

Cause: Archived log file header is corrupt and could not be validated.

Action: Provide a valid archived log file and retry the operation.

ORA-19583
ORA-19583, 00000, “conversation terminated due to error”

Cause: An error occurred which forced the termination of the current
backup or restore conversation.

Action: There should be other error messages to help identify the cause
of the problem. Correct the error and begin another conversation.

ORA-19584
ORA-19584, 00000, “file %s already in use”

Cause: The indicated file, which was specified as the target for a copy,
restore, or delete operation is already in use by the database.

Action: Specify a different name and retry the operation.

ORA-19585
ORA-19585, 00000, “premature end of volume on piece %s”

Cause: While creating the indicated backup piece, an end-of-volume
condition was encountered before all of the backup set control
data was written to the backup piece. This is most likely a media
error, because the amount of backup set control data is very small
in relation to the total amount of data in a backup set.

Action: Retry the piece with a larger piece of output media.

ORA-19586
ORA-19586, 00000, “%s k-byte limit is too small to hold piece directory”

Cause: The user-specified limit of k-bytes per backup piece is not enough
to hold the backup set control data.

Action: Use the SETLIMIT procedure to increase the k-byte limit and
retry the operation.

ORA-19587
ORA-19587, 00000, “error occurred reading %s bytes at block number %s”

Cause: An error occurred while reading from a file.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint
the cause of the error. Correct the error then retry the
copy, backup, or restore operation.

ORA-19588
ORA-19588, 00000, “%s RECID %s STAMP %s is no longer valid”

Cause: The indicated record has been marked as deleted.
This indicates that the corresponding file has either been
overwritten by another copy or restore, or that the copy was
‘consumed’ by a SWITCHTOCOPY operation.

Action: If you know the name of the file you wish to copy, then
inspect it and then retry the copy specifying the new RECID.

ORA-19589
ORA-19589, 00000, “%s is not a snapshot or backup control file”

Cause: The control file that is the source for a backup or copy operation
is not a snapshot or backup control file.

Action: Specify the name of a snapshot or backup control file.

ORA-19590
ORA-19590, 00000, “conversation already active”

Cause: You tried to begin a backup or restore conversation, but another
conversation is already active in this session.

Action: Either continue the current conversation, or call BACKUPCANCEL or
RESTORECANCEL to end the current conversation before starting a
new one.

ORA-19591
ORA-19591, 00000, “backup aborted because job time exceeded duration time”

Cause: You tried to backup with duration option and the time provided
was not sufficient to complete the backup.

Action: Adjust the duration time and re-run the command. Or run the backup
command without duration option.

ORA-19592
ORA-19592, 00000, “wrong %s conversation type”

Cause: You attempted to specify a type of file to be backed-up or
restored, but the current conversation cannot process this type
of file. For example, you specified an archived log to be
included in a datafile backup set. The specified file will
not be included in the backup or restore operation.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19593
ORA-19593, 00000, “datafile number %s already included as %s”

Cause: This datafile is already specified for inclusion in this
backup or restore conversation.
A backup or restore conversation may process only
a single instance of a datafile.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19594
ORA-19594, 00000, “control file already included as %s”

Cause: The control file is already specified for inclusion in this backup
or restore conversation. A backup or restore conversation may
process only a single instance of the control file.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19595
ORA-19595, 00000, “archived log %s already included in backup conversation”

Cause: The indicated archived log has already been specified for inclusion
in this backup conversation.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19596
ORA-19596, 00000, “SPFILE already included”

Cause: The SPFILE is already specified for inclusion in this backup
or restore conversation. A backup or restore conversation may
process only a single instance of the SPFILE.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19597
ORA-19597, 00000, “file %s block size %s does not match set block size of %s”

Cause: A file was specified for inclusion in a backup set but it has
a logical block size different from the rest of the files in the
backup set. All files in a backup set must have the same logical
block size.

Action: Specify a file that has the same block size as the rest of the
files in the backup set. The conversation is still active and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19598
ORA-19598, 00000, “can not backup SPFILE because the instance was not started with SPFILE”

Cause: A backup command requested a backup of the SPFILE, but no SPFILE
was used to startup the instance.

Action: Create an SPFILE and re-start the instance using the SPFILE.

ORA-19599
ORA-19599, 00000, “block number %s is corrupt in %s %s”

Cause: A corrupt block was found in a control file, archived log, or
backup piece that
is being read for a backup or copy. Corruption shall not be
tolerated in control files, archived logs, or backup pieces.

Action: None. The copy or backup operation fails. Note that in the case of
a backup set, the conversation is still active and the piece may
be retried.

ORA-19600
ORA-19600, 00000, “input file is %s %s (%s)”

Cause: This message identifies the input file for a failed copy operation.
Both the file number and name (if the name has been determined)
are shown. For a datafile, the file number refers to the
datafile’s absolute file number as shown in the DBA_DATA_FILES
view.
For a datafile copy, the file number refers to the copy’s
control file record number as shown in the RECID column of the
V$DATAFILE_COPY view.
For an archived log, the file number refers to the log’s
control file record number as shown in the RECID column of the
V$ARCHIVED_LOG view.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19601
ORA-19601, 00000, “output file is %s %s (%s)”

Cause: This message identifies the output file for a failed copy
operation. The fields are as described in message 19600. When
creating a new datafile copy, its control file record number
may not have been determined when the message is printed. In
that case, the record number shown is zero.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19602
ORA-19602, 00000, “cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode”

Cause: You tried to copy or backup a file that was not closed cleanly,
and the database was in NOARCHIVELOG mode. This is not allowed
because when restored, the file will require redo application
before it is usable, and redo is not currently being saved
beyond the contents of the online redo logs.

Action: Take the tablespace offline clean or close the database and retry
the copy or backup.

ORA-19603
ORA-19603, 00000, “cannot backup or copy active file with KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option”

Cause: The user tried to copy or backup a file that was not closed cleanly,
with KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option. This is not allowed
because when restored, the file will require redo application
before it is usable, and redo will not be saved because of
KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option.

Action: Take the tablespace offline cleanly, or close the database and retry
the copy or backup.

ORA-19604
ORA-19604, 00000, “conversation file naming phase is over”

Cause: A call was made to specify a file to be backed up or restored after
the first backup piece has been processed.

Action: You cannot specify more files to be processed during a backup or
restore conversation after the first backup piece has been
processed. If more files must be specified, you must begin
a new conversation.

ORA-19605
ORA-19605, 00000, “input file name must be specified”

Cause: The input file name was not specified for a control file copy
operation.

Action: Specify an input file name and retry the operation.

ORA-19606
ORA-19606, 00000, “Cannot copy or restore to snapshot control file”

Cause: A control file copy or restore operation specified the name of the
snapshot control file as the output file. It is not permitted to
overwrite the snapshot control file in this manner. Other
methods are available to create the snapshot control file.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation. If this
is a restore, then the restore conversation remains active and
more files may be specified.

ORA-19607
ORA-19607, 00000, “%s is an active control file”

Cause: A control file copy, restore, or backup specified the name of a
control file named in the INIT.ORA file as the input or output file.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation. If this
is a backup or restore conversation, then the conversation remains
active and more files may be specified.

ORA-19608
ORA-19608, 00000, “%s is not a backup piece”

Cause: The specified file is not a backup piece produced by the
DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE package. Either the first block of the
backup piece is corrupt or this file is not a backup piece.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation.

ORA-19609
ORA-19609, 00000, “%s is from different backup set: stamp %s count %s”

Cause: The specified file is not from the backup set which is
currently being processed. It is part of a different backup set.
The identification of the set containing this piece is shown.

Action: Specify the correct backup piece and retry the operation.

ORA-19610
ORA-19610, 00000, “directory block %s is corrupt”

Cause: The indicated directory block failed checksum validation.
This backup piece is unusable.

Action: Supply another copy of the same backup piece, or terminate the
restore conversation.

ORA-19611
ORA-19611, 00000, “backup piece out of order. Expected %s but found %s”

Cause: This backup piece is out of sequence.

Action: Supply the correct backup piece.

ORA-19612
ORA-19612, 00000, “datafile %s not restored due to %s”

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because all of its data
blocks were not found in the backup piece.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and the current piece
must be re-processed. If the failure cannot be resolved by
re-processing the current piece, then the restore conversation
must be cancelled.

ORA-19613
ORA-19613, 00000, “datafile %s not found in backup set”

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because it is not in
this backup set. If the file number is zero, then this refers to
the control file.

Action: This message is issued when the directory from the first backup
piece is read and one or more files named for restoration were not
found. The restore conversation is still active, but no data
has been read and you must supply the first backup piece of
a backup set that contains all of the requested files.

ORA-19614
ORA-19614, 00000, “archived log thread %s sequence %s not found in backup set”

Cause: The indicated archived log file was named explicitly for
restoration but is not contained in this backup set.

Action: This message is issued when the directory from the first backup
piece is read and one or more files named for restoration were not
found. The restore conversation is still active, but no data
has been read and you must supply the first backup piece of
a backup set that contains all of the requested files.

ORA-19615
ORA-19615, 00000, “some files not found in backup set”

Cause: Some files that were specified for restoration were not found
in the backup set directory. Message 19613 or 19614 is issued
for each file that was not found.

Action: See the instructions for message 19613.

ORA-19616
ORA-19616, 00000, “output file name must be specified if database not mounted”

Cause: A datafile restore specified no target file name, but the
database is not mounted. The database must be mounted when no
target file name is specified, so that the target file name
can be obtained from the control file.

Action: The restore conversation remains active. If you wish to restore
datafiles without their target file names, then mount the database
before continuing. Otherwise, a target file name must be specified
on all datafile restoration calls.

ORA-19617
ORA-19617, 00000, “file %s contains different RESETLOGS data”

Cause: The indicated file contains RESETLOGS data which is different from
the archived log files which are already included in the backup
set. All archived log files in a backup set must have the same
RESETLOGS data.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and you may continue to
specify archived log files for inclusion in the backup set.

ORA-19618
ORA-19618, 00000, “cannot name files after RESTOREVALIDATE has been called”

Cause: A call was made to specify a file to restore from a backup set,
but a previous call to RESTOREVALIDATE has already been made.

Action: You must cancel and restart the conversation if you wish to
specify files to restore.

ORA-19619
ORA-19619, 00000, “cannot call RESTOREVALIDATE after files have been named”

Cause: RESTOREVALIDATE was called after some files had already been
specified for restoration.

Action: You must cancel and restart the conversation if you wish to
call RESTOREVALIDATE.

ORA-19620
ORA-19620, 00000, “%s is not of %s type”

Cause: When opening the file to be placed in a copy or backup set,
to be inspected, or used as the target for
an incremental restore, its header was not
recognized as a valid file header for a file of the indicated
type (datafile, archived log, or control file) belonging
to the current database.

Action: The indicated file cannot be processed. Ensure that the correct
files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.

ORA-19621
ORA-19621, 00000, “archived log range has already been specified”

Cause: A range of logs has already been specified. Only one SCN range
may be specified per conversation.

Action: The restore conversation remains active and more logs may be
specified by thread and sequence number, if desired.

ORA-19622
ORA-19622, 00000, “archived log thread %s sequence %s not restored due to %s”

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because all of its data
blocks were not found in the backup piece.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and the current piece
must be re-processed. If the failure cannot be resolved by
re-processing the current piece, then the restore conversation
must be cancelled.

ORA-19623
ORA-19623, 00000, “file %s is open”

Cause: A SWITCHTOCOPY operation specified a datafile copy whose parent
datafile is open.

Action: Take the owning tablespace offline or close the database, then
retry the operation.

ORA-19624
ORA-19624, 00000, “operation failed, retry possible”

Cause: A backup, restore or image copy operation failed with an I/O
error. If the source of the I/O error can be corrected, then
the operation may be retried.

Action: This message is used by recovery manager to decide whether or not
to retry the operation.

ORA-19625
ORA-19625, 00000, “error identifying file %s”

Cause: A file specified as input to a copy or backup operation, or as
the target for an incremental restore, could not be identified as
an Oracle file. An OS-specific error accompanies this error to
help pinpoint the problem.

Action: Specify an different file and retry the operation.

ORA-19626
ORA-19626, 00000, “backup set type is %s – can not be processed by this conversation”

Cause: The data in the backup set is not compatible with the current
conversation.

Action: Either supply the first piece from a backup set that matches
the current conversation or start a new restore conversation which
can process this backup set.

ORA-19627
ORA-19627, 00000, “cannot read backup pieces during control file application”

Cause: This is a control file restore conversation, which is using the
offline range information from one or more control files to update
datafile checkpoint data. Backup sets are not used during this
type of conversation.

Action: The conversation is still active and more control files may be
applied.

ORA-19628
ORA-19628, 00000, “invalid SCN range”

ORA-19629
ORA-19629, 00000, “no files in specified archived log SCN range”

Cause: This backup set contains no files in the specified range.

Action: Either supply a backup set that contains files in the correct
range or start a new conversation and specify a range which will
select some files from this backup set.

ORA-19630
ORA-19630, 00000, “end of volume encountered while copying backup piece”

Cause: While copying a backup piece from the OS native file system to an
output device, the output device encountered end-of-volume.

Action: The copy fails. This could happen if a tape was used which is
not large enough to hold the entire backup piece.

ORA-19631
ORA-19631, 00000, “archived log record contains no file name”

Cause: This archived log record represents a switch into an active log
that took place without archiving its prior contents. The prior
contents of the log file are lost.

Action: Specify the RECID of an archived log record that contains a file
name. Fixed view v$archived_log can be used to examine the
archived logs.

ORA-19632
ORA-19632, 00000, “file name not found in control file”

Cause: The name passed to GETFNO was not found in the control file.

Action: Supply a valid file name.

ORA-19633
ORA-19633, 00000, “control file record %s is out of sync with recovery catalog”

Cause: The control file record describing the file to be deleted in
a call to DELETEBACKUPPIECE, DELETEDATAFILECOPY, PROXYDELETE or
DELETEARCHIVEDLOG does not match the validation data supplied by
recovery manager.

Action: contact Oracle support

ORA-19634
ORA-19634, 00000, “file name required for this function”

Cause: The FNAME or HANDLE parameter was not specified for
DELETEPIECE, DELETEDATAFILECOPY, DELETEREDOLOG or PROXYDELETE.

Action: Specify the FNAME or HANDLE parameter when calling these functions.

ORA-19635
ORA-19635, 00000, “input and output file names are identical: %s”

Cause: Identical input and output file names were specified for a
datafile copy operation.

Action: Specify an output file name which is different from the input
file name.

ORA-19636
ORA-19636, 00000, “archived log thread %s sequence %s already included”

Cause: The indicated archived log has already been specified for inclusion
in this restore conversation. A restore conversation may process
only one copy of any archived log.

Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and
more files can be specified.

ORA-19637
ORA-19637, 00000, “BACKUPPIECECREATE requires file name when using DISK device”

Cause: The session device is currently allocated to disk, and so a file
name is required.

Action: Supply a file name and retry the operation.

ORA-19638
ORA-19638, 00000, “file %s is not current enough to apply this incremental backup”

Cause: The checkpoint of the target for this incremental backup
is less than the start of the incremental backup. If this backup
were applied, then any changes made between the datafile
checkpoint and the start of the incremental backup could be lost.

Action: Supply a backup set that can be applied and retry the operation.

ORA-19639
ORA-19639, 00000, “file %s is more current than this incremental backup”

Cause: The checkpoint of the target for this incremental backup is
greater than or equal to the checkpoint of the file in the
incremental backup set. This backup cannot advance the checkpoint
of the target file, so there is no point in applying it.

Action: Supply a backup set that can be applied and retry the operation.

ORA-19640
ORA-19640, 00000, “datafile checkpoint is SCN %s time %s”

Cause: This message identifies the datafile checkpoint for
a datafile that was too old to take an incremental backup from,
or the target of an incremental restore that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19641
ORA-19641, 00000, “backup datafile checkpoint is SCN %s time %s”

Cause: This message identifies the checkpoint of a datafile in an
incremental backup set that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19642
ORA-19642, 00000, “start SCN of incremental backup is %s”

Cause: This message identifies the starting SCN
of an incremental backup that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19643
ORA-19643, 00000, “datafile %s: incremental-start SCN is too recent”

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an
incremental datafile backup is greater than the datafile
checkpoint SCN, which could cause some blocks to be missed.

Action: Specify a smaller incremental-start SCN.

ORA-19644
ORA-19644, 00000, “datafile %s: incremental-start SCN is prior to RESETLOGS SCN %s”

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an
incremental datafile backup is less than the RESETLOGS SCN.

Action: Specify a larger incremental-start SCN.

ORA-19645
ORA-19645, 00000, “datafile %s: incremental-start SCN is prior to creation SCN %s”

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an
incremental datafile backup is less than the datafile’s
creation SCN.

Action: Specify a larger incremental-start SCN.

ORA-19646
ORA-19646, 00000, “cannot change size of datafile %s from %s to %s”

Cause: Restore needs to adjust the size of the file as indicated, but
the file size adjustment failed.

Action: Examine the other messages which should be present to indicate
the cause of the failure.

ORA-19647
ORA-19647, 00000, “non-zero LEVEL cannot be specified when INCREMENTAL is FALSE”

Cause: BACKUPSETDATAFILE was called with a non-zero backup_level
and a FALSE incremental indication.

Action: Either set incremental to TRUE or change backup_level to zero.

ORA-19648
ORA-19648, 00000, “datafile %s: incremental-start SCN equals checkpoint SCN”

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an
incremental datafile backup is equal to the
datafile’s checkpoint SCN. Since an incremental backup can only
be applied to a datafile whose checkpoint SCN is between the
backup set incremental-start SCN (inclusive) and the backup set
checkpoint SCN (exclusive), there is no datafile that this backup
set could ever be applied to.

Action: Specify a smaller incremental-start SCN.
//
NOTE that this message will usually only be encountered by the
user while taking an incremental backup with Recovery Manager.
Recovery Manager should intercept all usual cases of this error
and simply ignore the incremental backup for this file. So, if
you do encounter this error, please report it to Oracle Support.

ORA-19649
ORA-19649, 00000, “offline-range record RECID %s STAMP %s not found in file %s”

Cause: APPLYOFFLINERANGE was called with a RECID/STAMP which was not
found in the indicated control file. This probably means that the
specified control file is no longer the same control file that
Recovery Manager thinks it is.

Action: Specify the RECID/STAMP of a record that exists in the control file
copy.

ORA-19650
ORA-19650, 00000, “Offline-range record RECID %s STAMP %s in file %s has SCN %s”

Cause: This messages identifies the offline-clean SCN from the indicated
offline-range record in the indicated file.

Action: See other error message.

ORA-19651
ORA-19651, 00000, “cannot apply offline-range record to datafile %s: SCN mismatch”

Cause: APPLYOFFLINERANGE cannot apply an offline-range record to a
target datafile unless the datafile’s checkpoint SCN exactly
matches the offline-clean SCN in the specified offline-range
record.

Action: Specify an offline-range record whose offline-clean SCN matches
the target datafile’s checkpoint.

ORA-19652
ORA-19652, 00000, “cannot apply offline-range record to datafile %s: file is fuzzy”

Cause: The target datafile for an APPLYOFFLINERANGE call is fuzzy.

Action: Specify a target datafile that is closed cleanly.

ORA-19653
ORA-19653, 00000, “cannot switch to older file incarnation”

Cause: SWITCHTOCOPY was called with a datafile copy for a datafile that
was dropped prior to the time this control file was backed up.

Action: Restore and mount an earlier control file. It is acceptable to use
a control file that was backed up prior to the creation of the
specified datafile.

ORA-19654
ORA-19654, 00000, “must use backup control file to switch file incarnations”

Cause: This SWITCHTOCOPY operation is attempting to switch incarnations
of a datafile, but the currently mounted control file is not a
backup control file.

Action: Restore and mount a backup control file.

ORA-19655
ORA-19655, 00000, “cannot switch to incarnation with different RESETLOGS data”

Cause: This SWITCHTOCOPY operation is attempting to switch to a datafile
which comes from a different RESETLOGS version of the database.

Action: Either restore a backup control file that was taken from the same
database version as the target datafile copy, or switch to a
different datafile copy.

ORA-19656
ORA-19656, 00000, “cannot backup, copy, or delete online log %s”

Cause: The indicated log file is an active log. You can only backup,
copy, or delete archived logs.

Action: The indicated log file cannot be processed – select another file.

ORA-19657
ORA-19657, 00000, “cannot inspect current datafile %s”

Cause: The file being inspected is already part of the currently mounted
database.

Action: None – the file is already part of the database.

ORA-19658

Cause: The RESETLOGS data in the log file being inspected does not match
that in the currently mounted control file.

Action: The indicated file cannot be processed – inspect another file.

ORA-19659
ORA-19659, 00000, “incremental restore would advance file %s past RESETLOGS”

Cause: This incremental backup cannot be applied to the specified
datafile, because the datafile is from an earlier incarnation of
the database, and its checkpoint would be advanced too far to be
recoverable in the current incarnation of the database.

Action: This incremental cannot be applied to this datafile. If you wish
to recover the file to the RESETLOGS SCN so that the database
can be opened with the RESETLOGS option, then you must use redo-log
recovery, not incremental restore, to continue recovering this
file.

ORA-19660
ORA-19660, 00000, “some files in the backup set could not be verified”

Cause: A restore conversation was made to verify all the files in a backup
set, and the files which were printed in messages 19661 or 19662
could not be verified because corrupt blocks for those files were
found in the backup set.

level higher than the release level of the Oracle executable.
The string in square bracket is the name of the compatibility
type associated with the data.

Action: Upgrade Oracle and retry the operation.

ORA-19728
ORA-19728, 00000, “data object number conflict between table %s and partition %s in table %s”

Cause: The non-partitioned table has the same data object number as
one of the partitions in the partitioned table. One can not
exchange the table with the partition in this case.

Action: Use “alter table move partition” command to move the offending
partition, so that the partition will get a new data object
number. Retry the operation then.

ORA-19729
ORA-19729, 00000, “File %s is not the initial version of the plugged in datafile”

Cause: The file is not the initial version of the plugged in datafile.

Action: Use the correct initial version of the plugged in datafile.

ORA-19730
ORA-19730, 00000, “can not convert offline plugged-in datafile %s”

Cause: As part of making a tablespace read-write, we need to convert
datafiles that are plugged in read-only. The file must be
online.

Action: Online the datafile and retry the operation.

ORA-19731
ORA-19731, 00000, “cannot apply change to unverified plugged-in datafile %s”

Cause: Recovery was not able to verify the referred datafile according
to information in the control file. Before encountering this
change vector for this file, somehow recovery did not
encounter the file conversion redo that is supposed to verify
the file. This may happen due to corrupted or incorrect
control file used for media recovery.

Action: Use the correct control file and continue recovery.

ORA-19732
ORA-19732, 00000, “incorrect number of datafiles for tablespace %s”

Cause: The number of datafiles in the export file for the referred
tablespace is not the same as expected. This is most likely
caused by a user editing the export file.

Action: Use the correct export file and retry the operation.

ORA-19733
ORA-19733, 00000, “COMPATIBLE parameter needs to be %s or greater”

Cause: The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is not high
enough to allow the operation. Allowing the command would make
the database incompatible with the release specified by the
current COMPATIBLE parameter.

Action: Shutdown and startup with a higher compatibility setting.

ORA-19734
ORA-19734, 00000, “wrong creation SCN – control file expects converted plugged-in datafile”

Cause: When a tablespace is plugged into a database, the tablespace is
initially read-only. Oracle converts the header of the
plugged-in datafiles (assign them a new creation SCN) when
the tablespace is first made read-write. This error occurs
when the creation SCN in the file header is different from the
creation SCN in the control file, possibly because this is the
initial version of plugged-in datafile.

Action: Either restore the converted datafile or continue recovering the
datafile.

ORA-19735
ORA-19735, 00000, “wrong creation SCN – control file expects initial plugged-in datafile”

Cause: When a tablespace is plugged into a database, the tablespace is
initially read-only. Oracle converts the header of the
plugged-in datafiles (assign them a new creation SCN) when
the tablespace is first made read-write. This error occurs
when the creation SCN in the file header is different from the
creation SCN in the control file, possibly because this is the
converted datafile.

Action: Either restore the initial version of the plugged-in datafile, or
continue database recovery, which will recover the control file.

ORA-19736
ORA-19736, 00000, “can not plug a tablespace into a database using a different national character set”

Cause: Oracle does not support plugging a tablespace into a database
using a different national character set.

Action: Use import/export or unload/load to move data instead.

ORA-19737
ORA-19737, 00000, “simulate read-only database connection to execute sql query”

Document: NO

Cause: Set on RMAN foreground connections when archiver was hung.

Action: Turn off plsql/sql statistics collection, obtaining the temp
segment for sorting and grabbing the sequence number from disk.

Action: None, this is an informative message only.

ORA-19760
ORA-19760, 00000, “error starting change tracking”

Cause: Change tracking is enabled, but a problem was encountered while
enabling the change tracking subsystem in this instance.
The alert log and the trace file from the CTWR process will
contain more information about the error.

Action: Examine the trace and alert files. Correct the error if possible,
otherwise disable change tracking.

ORA-19761
ORA-19761, 00000, “block size %s is not valid for change tracking file”

Cause: While opening the specified change tracking file, it was found that
the file header did not contain a valid logical block size. This

ensure that all archived log file names are unique.

Action: Add the missing format elements to log_archive_format.

ORA-19906
ORA-19906, 00000, “recovery target incarnation changed during recovery”

Cause: While a media recovery was active, a new incarnation was detected
by the server due to inspection or cataloging of archived logs
or backup files.

Action: If you want recovery to use the new incarnation, restart recovery.
This is the most common action on a standby database when RESETLOGS
is done in primary. If you do not want recovery to use the new
incarnation,
change the recovery destination using RMAN’s RESET DATABASE
TO INCARNATION <incarnation#> command.
To see which incarnations are available for this target database,
query V$DATABASE_INCARNATION or use RMAN’s LIST INCARNATION
command.

ORA-19907
ORA-19907, 00000, “recovery time or SCN does not belong to recovered incarnation”

Cause: A point-in-time recovery to an SCN or time stamp prior to the last
RESETLOGS was requested.

taken during a period of time that has already been discarded by
a RESETLOGS operation, or Oracle cannot identify which database
incarnation the file belongs to. The alert log contains more
information.

Action: Restore a backup of this file that belongs to either the current
or a prior incarnation of the database. If you are using RMAN
to restore, RMAN will automatically select a correct backup.

ORA-19910
ORA-19910, 00000, “can not change recovery target incarnation in control file”

Cause: The RESET DATABASE TO INCARNATION command was used while the
database is open. This is not allowed.

Action: Close the database then re-issue the command.

ORA-19911
ORA-19911, 00000, “datafile %s contains future changes at the incarnation boundary”

Cause: The file did not hit end backup marker redo during recovery at
the incarnation boundary, hence may contain changes discarded
by new incarnation.

Action: Use older backup of the file and then re-issue the command.

ORA-19912
ORA-19912, 00000, “cannot recover to target incarnation %s”

Cause: The control file is not in the recovery path of the target
incarnation, and does not contain enough information as to how
to recover to the target incarnation.

Action: Restore the latest control file from the target incarnation and
retry.

ORA-19913
ORA-19913, 00000, “unable to decrypt backup”

Cause: A backup piece could not be decrypted. This message is accompanied

then supply the correct password using the RMAN SET DECRYPTION
command. If transparent restore was enabled for this backup,
then ensure that the database external security device is open.

ORA-19914
ORA-19914, 00000, “unable to encrypt backup”

Cause: RMAN could not create an encrypted backup. This message will
be accompanied by other messages that give more details about
why the encrypted backup could not be created. The most common
reason for this message is that you are trying to create a
backup that can be transparently decrypted, and the database
external security device is not open.

Action: If the external security device is not open, then open it.
If the external security device is not configured, then the
only type of encrypted backup that you can create is a
password-based backup.

ORA-19915

initialized; (2) the locator is for a BFILE and the routine
expects a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB locator; (3) the locator is for a
BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects a BFILE locator;
(4) trying to update the LOB in a trigger body — LOBs in
trigger bodies are read only; (5) the locator is for a
BFILE/BLOB and the routine expects a CLOB/NCLOB locator;
(6) the locator is for a CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects
a BFILE/BLOB locator;

Action: For (1), initialize the LOB locator by selecting into the locator
variable or by setting the LOB locator to empty. For (2),(3),
(5) and (6)pass the correct type of locator into the routine.
For (4), remove the trigger body code that updates the LOB value.

ORA-22276
ORA-22276, 00000, “invalid locator for LOB buffering”

Cause: There are several causes: (1) the locator was never enabled for
buffering (2) it is not an updated locator but is being used for
a write/flush operation

Action: For (1) enable the locator for buffering; (2) ensure that only
an updated locator is used for a LOB update operation

ORA-22277
ORA-22277, 00000, “cannot use two different locators to modify the same LOB”

Cause: LOB buffering is enabled and an attempt was made to modify the
LOB using two different LOB locators.

Action: When using LOB buffering, modify the LOB through one LOB
locator only.

ORA-22278
ORA-22278, 00000, “must update the LOB only through the LOB buffers”

Cause: LOB buffering is enabled for this LOB and there are buffers
for this LOB in the buffer pool. Thus, updating the LOB
through means other than the LOB buffers is not allowed.

Action: Update the LOB through the LOB buffers using the locator that
has LOB buffering enabled. If this operation is required,
buffers associated with this LOB should either be flushed as
necessary or buffering should be disabled. Once this is done,
reissue the command.

ORA-22279
ORA-22279, 00000, “cannot perform operation with LOB buffering enabled”

Cause: The operation attempted is not allowed when LOB buffering is
enabled.

as necessary, disable buffering on the input LOB locator and
reissue the command.

ORA-22280
ORA-22280, 00000, “no more buffers available for operation”

Cause: There are two causes: (1) All buffers in the buffer pool have been
used up by previous operations (2) Attempt to flush a LOB without
any previous buffered update operations.

Action: For (1), flush the LOB(s) through the locator that is
being used to update the LOB. For (2), write to the LOB through a
locator enabled for buffering before attempting to flush buffers.

ORA-22281
ORA-22281, 00000, “cannot perform operation with an updated locator”

Cause: The input locator has buffering enabled and was used to update
the LOB value through the LOB buffering subsystem. The
modified buffer has not been flushed since the write that was
performed by the the input locator; thus, the input locator is
considered an updated locator. Updated locators cannot be the
source of a copy operation. Only one locator per LOB may be used
to modify the LOB value through the LOB buffering subsystem.

Action: Depending on whether the modifications made through the input
locator to the LOB buffering subsystem should be written to
the server, either flush the buffer to write the modifications,
or, disable buffering on the locator to discard the
modifications. Then, reissue the command.

ORA-22282
ORA-22282, 00000, “non-contiguous append to a buffering enabled LOB not allowed”

Cause: The buffered write operation has an input offset value more
than one byte or character past the end of the LOB.
