ORA-14118: 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: 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: 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: 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
13-82 Oracle Database Error Messages
specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be combined at
will
ORA-14122: 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: 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: 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: 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: only a
partitions
partition may be followed by an optional
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-14128: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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.
13-84 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-14135: 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.

descriptions; maximum number of subpartitions is 1048575.
Action: Reduce number of subpartitions to not exceed 1024K-1.
ORA-14159: 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: 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)
ORA-14161: subpartition number string: 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: subpartition “string”: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed
100

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: Cannot co-locate [sub]partition of string string with table [sub]partition
because string block size [string] does not match table block size [string]
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.

globally closed by the background process. Check other messages in the trace files
for more information.
Action: Bring the disk online for I/Os to get through.
ORA-15063: ASM discovered an insufficient number of disks for diskgroup “string”
Cause: ASM was unable to find a sufficient number of disks belonging to the
diskgroup to continue the operation.
Action: Check that the disks in the diskgroup are present and functioning, that
the owner of the ORACLE binary has read/write permission to the disks, and that
the ASM_DISKSTRING initialization parameter has been set correctly. Verify that
ASM discovers the appropriate disks by querying V$ASM_DISK from the ASM
instance.
ORA-15064: communication failure with ASM instance
Cause: There was a failure to communicate with the ASM instance, most likely
because the connection went down.
Action: Check the accompanying error messages for more information on the
reason for the failure. Note that database instances will always return this error
when the ASM instance is terminated abnormally.
ORA-15065: hash collision for diskgroup names “string” and “string”

ORA-15069: ASM file “string” not accessible; timed out waiting for lock
Cause: An attempt was made to access an ASM file, but the file is currently being
created, resized, or deleted and therefore cannot be accessed.
Action: No action required, or try again later, after the create or resize has
completed.
ORA-15070: maximum number of files string exceeded in diskgroup “string”
Cause: The diskgroup ran out of space.
Action: Delete some existing ASM files or create files in a new diskgroup.
ORA-15071: ASM disk “string” is already being dropped
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a disk from a diskgroup which was already
in the process of being dropped from the diskgroup. Alternatively, an attempt was
made to forcibly drop a disk from a diskgroup using the FORCE option which was
already being forcibly dropped from the diskgroup.
Action: Check the ASM disk name and FORCE option as specified in the
command.
ORA-15072: command requires at least string failure groups, discovered only string
Cause: An attempt was made to create either a normal redundancy diskgroup for
which fewer than two failure groups were both specified and discovered, or a high
redundancy diskgroup for which fewer than three failure groups were both
specified and discovered.
Action: Check the that the command does specify the required number of failure
groups, and that all of the specified disks are discovered by ASM. A query of the
V$ASM_DISK fixed view will show which disks are discovered by ASM.
ORA-15073: diskgroup string is mounted by another ASM instance
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a diskgroup that is still mounted
somewhere in the cluster by another instance.
Action: dismount the diskgroup from all nodes except the one performing the
drop diskgroup command.
ORA-15074: diskgroup string requires rebalance completion
13-118 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: An attempt was made to repeatedly add or drop disks from a diskgroup.
ASM could not perform the operation given the current state of the diskgroup.
Action: Manually invoke the ALTER DISKGROUP REBALANCE command and
allow the rebalance to run to completion. Alternatively, invoke the ALTER
DISKGROUP UNDROP DISKS command and allow the rebalance to run to
completion. After the rebalance has completed, retry the operation.
ORA-15075: disk(s) are not visible cluster-wide
Cause: An ALTER DISKGROUP ADD DISK command specified a disk that could
not be discovered by one or more nodes in a RAC cluster configuration.
Action: Determine which disks are causing the problem from the GV$OSM_DISK
fixed view. Check operating system permissions for the device and the storage
sub-system configuration on each node in a RAC cluster that cannot identify the
disk.
ORA-15076: Emulating I/O errors on the OSM disk
Cause: The disk to which the I/O request was issued is in an error emulation
mode.
Action: Bring the disk online for I/Os to get through.
ORA-15077: could not locate ASM instance serving a required diskgroup
Cause: The instance failed to perform the specified operation because it could not
locate a required ASM instance.
Action: Start an ASM instance and mount the required diskgroup.
ORA-15078: ASM diskgroup was forcibly dismounted
Cause: The diskgroup to which the I/O request was issued was forcibly
dismounted (with the ALTER DISKGROUP DISMOUNT FORCE command) so
that it could not be accessed.
Action: Mount the diskgroup to allow access again.
ORA-15079: ASM file is closed
Cause: The file to which the I/O request was issued was closed. This could have
been a consequence of the diskgroup being dismounted.

ORA-15096: lost disk write detected
Cause: A failure either by disk hardware or disk software caused a disk write to
to be lost, even though ASM received acknowledgement that the write completed.
Alternatively, a clustering hardware failure or a clustering software failure
resulted in an ASM instance believing that another ASM instance had crashed,
when in fact it was still active.
Action: The disk group is corrupt and cannot be recovered. The disk group must
be recreated, and its contents restored from backups.
ORA-15097: cannot SHUTDOWN ASM instance with connected RDBMS instance
Cause: A SHUTDOWN command was issued to an ASM instance that had one or
more connected RDBMS instances.
Action: Connect to each RDBMS instance and shut it down, and then reissue the
SHUTDOWN command to the ASM instance. Alternatively, use the SHUTDOWN
ABORT command. Note that issuing the SHUTDOWN ABORT command to an
ASM instance results in abormal termination of all RDBMS instances connected to
that ASM instance.

ORA-16018: cannot use string with LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n or DB_RECOVERY_
FILE_DEST
13-130 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: One of the following events caused an incompatibility: 1) Parameter LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST was in use when a LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10) parameter was encountered while fetching
initialization parameters. 2) An ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START TO
command was in effect when a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter was
encountered while fetching initialization parameters. 3) A LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_
n parameter was in use when an ALTER SYSTEM command was used to define a
value for either the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST
parameter. 4) Parameter DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST was in use when an attempt
was made to use an ALTER SYSTEM or ALTER SESSION command to define a
value for LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST.
Action: Eliminate any incompatible parameter definitions.
ORA-16019: cannot use string with LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_
DUPLEX_DEST
Cause: One of the following events caused an incompatibility: 1) Parameter LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST was in use when the
specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10) or DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
parameter was encountered while fetching initialization parameters. 2) Parameter
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST was in use when an
attempt was made to use an ALTER SYSTEM or ALTER SESSION command to
define a value for the specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n or DB_RECOVERY_
FILE_DEST parameter. 3) An ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG START TO
command was in effect when the specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter
was encountered while fetching initialization parameters. 4) An ALTER SYSTEM
ARCHIVE LOG START TO command was in effect when an attempt was made to
use an ALTER SYSTEM or ALTER SESSION command to define a value for the
specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
Action: Eliminate any incompatible parameter definitions.
ORA-16020: less destinations available than specified by LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_
SUCCEED_DEST
Cause: With automatic archiving enabled, the number of archive log destinations
that could be used for the database was less than the LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_
SUCCEED_DEST parameter value.
Action: Either adjust the settings of the log archive destination parameters, or
lower the value of LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST.
ORA-16021: session string destination cannot be the same as session string
destination
Cause: An attempt was made to change the first specified archive log parameter
using ALTER SESSION to have a destination value that duplicates the
session-level destination value of the second specified archive log parameter.
Action: Specify a different session destination value for one of the LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameters.
ORA-16022: LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST cannot be NULL because LOG_ARCHIVE_
DUPLEX_DEST is non-NULL
Cause: An attempt was made to change parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST to
NULL when parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST is non-NULL.
Action: Either set parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST to a non-NULL value, or set
parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST to a NULL value.
ORA-16023: system string destination cannot be the same as session string
destination
Cause: An attempt to change the first specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n =
1…10) parameter produced a destination that duplicates the session destination
value of the second specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter. This error can
occur when setting a non-NULL value with the ALTER SYSTEM command. Or,
this error can occur when setting a NULL value with ALTER SESSION command,
because then the associated system destination value may appear as a duplicate.
Action: Specify a different destination value for the first specified LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
ORA-16024: parameter string cannot be parsed
Cause: The value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10)
parameter could not be parsed. Common causes for this error are a misplaced
equal sign, an unrecognized attribute, or an attribute that is missing a required
value.
Action: Correct the value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
ORA-16025: parameter string contains repeated or conflicting attributes
Cause: The value for the specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10) parameter
contained either repeated attributes or attributes that conflicted with each other.
Action: Correct the value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
ORA-16026: parameter string contains an invalid attribute value
Cause: The value for the specified LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10) parameter
contained an attribute with an invalid value.
Action: Correct the value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
ORA-16027: parameter string is missing a destination option
Cause: The value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n (n = 1…10)
parameter failed to include a destination option. A destination option is specified
using either the LOCATION or SERVICE attrbute.
Action: Correct the value for the indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
ORA-16028: new string causes less destinations than LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_
SUCCEED_DEST requires
Cause: With automatic archiving enabled, an attempt was made to change the
indicated LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n or a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n
parameter (n = 1…10) to a value that reduces the number of archive log
destinations to less than the specified LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST
value.
Action: Either select different options for the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n or LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameters, or reduce the value for parameter LOG_
ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST.
ORA-16029: cannot change LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST, no archive log

Cause: An attempt was made to modify or query a disabled Data Guard object,
most likely a database. This error is also returned on an attempt to enable, modify,
or query a database that the broker has disabled because of a switchover or
failover operation. The broker disables its management of a database when it
detects that the database needs to be re-created. The broker also disables
management of a database that lags behind in terms of DRC Unique ID sequence
value. This value is updated after successful switchover and failover operations.
Action: If broker management of the database is disabled, enable it and reissue
the request.

the parameter value match, there is space on the device, and you have the right
permissions.
ORA-16573: attempt to change configuration file for an enabled broker
configuration
Cause: The Data Guard broker configuration file parameter was currently in use
because broker management of the configuration was enabled. The attempt to
alter that parameter was rejected.
Action: Disable the configuration and shut down the Data Guard broker before
changing this value. Be sure to rename the configuration file at the OS level to
match the new value before reenabling broker management of the configuration.
ORA-16574: switchover disallowed when required databases are offline

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected disabled, required resources prior to
performing an operation that needs those resources to be enabled.
Action: Enable all required resources and reissue the request.
ORA-16602: object must be disabled to perform this operation
Cause: An attempt was made to edit a database object that can only be done while
broker management of that database is disabled.
Action: Disable broker management of the database and reissue the request.
ORA-16603: Data Guard broker detected a mismatch in configuration ID
Cause: The Data Guard broker for this database detected a mismatch in
configuration Unique ID. This can occur if the original configuration was recreated
while this database was disconnected from the network or the same database was
added to two different broker configurations.
Action: Make sure the database belongs to only one broker configuration. Remove
the Data Guard broker configuration files and restart the broker.
ORA-16604: unable to describe template using package “string”
Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to execute the OnDescribe function in
the named package.
Action: Verify that the named package is loaded on the primary database. Also
verify that the OnDescribe function is in the package.
ORA-16605: unable to delete template, template is in use
Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to delete the template because the
template is still being used by one or more resources.
Action: Delete all resources using the template before deleting the template. You
cannot delete the database template.

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a warning status for one or more
databases.
Action: Locate the database(s) with a warning status and correct it.
ORA-16611: operation aborted at user request
Cause: The Data Guard broker aborted an operation at the user”s request.
Action: No action required.
ORA-16612: string value too long for attribute “string”
Cause: The string value for the named attribute is too long.
Action: Use a shorter string.
ORA-16613: initialization in progress for database
Cause: The database received a directive to change its initialization state or a
change in its configuration before it has completed initialization.
Action: Wait until the database has completed initialization before issuing
requests to modify run-time state or configuration.
ORA-16614: object has an ancestor that is disabled
Cause: A request to enable an object that has an ancestor that is disabled was
received by the broker. The broker has enabled management of the object to the
extent that it can, but cannot fully enable the object until its ancestor is enabled.
Action: Determine the ancestor object that is disabled and enable that ancestor
prior to enabling the child object.
ORA-16617: unknown object identifier specified in request
Cause: The Data Guard broker returned this error because the object identifier
specified in the request was invalid or unknown. For example, this error is
returned if an invalid or unknown database object identifier is specified in a
request that requires a database object identifier.
Action: Verify that a valid object identifier was specified in the request and then
reissue the request.
ORA-16618: response document of size “string” bytes is too large
Cause: The document response cannot be returned because the size of the
document is too large. This can occur when displaying the Data Guard broker log.
Action: View the broker log for the given database directly.
ORA-16619: health check timed out
Cause: This status is returned when the Data Guard broker could not reach a
standby database during a routine health check.
Action: This typically indicates a network problem where the standby database is
unable to respond to the primary database within a predefined time frame.
ORA-16620: one or more databases could not be contacted for a delete operation
Cause: The Data Guard broker could not reach one or more standby databases for
either a delete database operation or a delete broker configuration operation.
Action: This typically indicates a network problem where the standby database is
unable to respond to the primary database. In the event of this situation, examine
the primary database”s Data Guard broker log for to determine which standby
databases could not be reached. Then for each standby database not reached,
connect to that database and shut down the broker by setting the initialization
parameter, dg_broker_start, to false. After the broker has been shut down for the
standby database, locate the Data Guard broker configuration files from the
standby database”s dg_broker_config_file[1|2] parameter values and delete them.
ORA-16621: database name for ADD DATABASE must be unique
Cause: An attempt was made to add a database to the broker configuration that
already includes a database with the specified name. The database names must be
unique.
Action: Verify that you have specified a unique name for the new database you
wish to add. This can be done by checking that there is no database with the same
name. Also note that the database name must match the DB_UNIQUE_NAME
initialization parameter of the database.
13-170 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16622: two or more broker database objects resolve to one physical database
Cause: The Data Guard broker determined that there were multiple database
objects referring to the same physical database.
Action: Examine the details of all databases in the broker configuration and verify
that there are not two or more databases that indicate the same physical database.
If you detect this situation, remove and readd the erroneously defined database(s)
to resolve the ambiguity.
ORA-16623: stale DRC UID sequence number detected
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a stale sequence value during its
bootstrap or health check operations. The sequence value is changed each time a
switchover or failover operation completes successfully. A database that is
unavailable to participate in the switchover or failover operation will end up with
a stale sequence number. Should the database attempt to rejoin the broker
configuration, the broker will determine that the database missed a role change
and will disable its management of that database. The broker disables the database
since it may no longer be a viable standby database for the new primary database.
Action: Examine the broker configuration for databases that were disabled and
which may require re-creation..
ORA-16624: broker protocol version mismatch detected
Cause: The broker detected a network protocol version number mismatch. This
can happen if the databases in question are not at the same version of Oracle. The
broker will disable management of the databases that do not have the same
network protocol version number as the primary database.
Action: Examine the version of Oracle installed for all databases to make sure
they are identical. Once the Oracle versions are the same for all databases, reenable
the databases that had been disabled.
ORA-16625: cannot reach the database
Cause: The broker rejected an operation requested by the client when the
database required to execute that operation was not reachable from the database
where the request was made. If the request modifies the configuration, the request
must be processed by the copy of the broker running on an instance of the primary
database.
Action: Check your network connections between all of the databases in the
configuration. Alternatively, you can connect your client to a different database in
the Data Guard broker configuration and try your request again. If you are simply
attempting to determine the status of a particular database in the configuration,
you may connect your client to that database and get the current value of the
StatusReport property for that database.
ORA-16626: failed to enable specified object
Cause: The broker failed to enable management of an object (most likely a
standby database). You can expect to see this status when attempting to enable
broker management of a standby database that:
– cannot locate itself in the broker configuration file.
– fails to distinguish itself from two or more databases in the configuration file.
– determines it was not part of a change of primary database due to failover.
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 you have not created two or more databases with the same connect
identifier. That is, multiple databases in the broker configuration should not
indicate the same physical database.
– if you had performed a failover and have re-created your old primary database
(or a standby database that had to be 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: operation disallowed since no standby databases would remain to
support protection mode
Cause: This status is returned in the following situations:
– The broker rejects an attempt to change the configuration”s overall protection
mode since it could not find any online, enabled standby databases that support
the proposed protection mode.
– The broker rejects an attempt to enable the configuration if it determines there
are no online, enabled standby databases that support the overall protection mode.
– The broker rejects an attempt to disable or remove a database that, if disabled or
deleted, would result in no remaining standby databases that can support the
configuration”s overall protection mode.
– The broker rejects an attempt to set the configuration offline if doing so would
violate the configuration”s overall protection mode.
– The broker rejects an attempt to set a standby database offline if doing so would
violate the configuration”s overall protection mode.
– The broker rejects a switchover attempt if doing so would violate the
configuration”s overall protection mode.
– The broker returns this error during a health check.
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
configuration 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 configuration property setting that supports the overall
protection mode.
– For state change failures, confirm that at least one other standby database has a
LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the overall protection
mode. If setting the configuration OFFLINE you may have to downgrade the
protection mode setting to maximum performance beforehand.
– For switchover failures, confirm that at least one other standby database has a
LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the overall protection
mode. If your configuration contains a primary database and a single standby
database, ensure that the LogXptMode configuration property established for the
primary database supports the overall protection mode. After the switchover, the
old primary database will become the standby database and its LogXptMode
configuration property setting must support the overall protection mode.
13-172 Oracle Database Error Messages
– For health check error, confirm that at least one standby database has a
LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the current overall
protection mode.
ORA-16628: the broker protection mode is inconsistent with the database setting
Cause: The Data Guard broker protection mode saved in the broker”s
configuration file was inconsistent with the actual database setting.
Action: Reset the protection mode through the Data Guard broker.
ORA-16629: database reports a different protection level from the protection mode
Cause: The actual protection level supported by the standby database was
different from the protection mode set on the primary database. This was likely
caused by redo transport problems.
Action: Check the database alert logs and Data Guard broker logs for more
details. Check the redo transport status. Make sure at least one standby redo
transport is supporting the protection mode and that the network to the standby
database is working.
ORA-16630: that database property was deprecated
Cause: The property that was specified in the user operation was a deprecated
property.
Action: Check the broker documentation to identify a replacement property or
issue a SQL command to achieve the same result if no such replacement property
exists.
ORA-16631: operation requires shutdown of database/instance “string”
Cause: The Data Guard broker operation requires a shutdown of the database or
instance.
Action: If the client has not yet done so, please shutdown all Oracle instances for
the database.
ORA-16632: instance being added to database profile
Cause: The Data Guard broker determined that an instance has successfully
found its database profile within the broker configuration file, but yet lacks an
instance-specific profile. The broker automatically creates an instance-specific
profile and associates 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 in broker activity.
ORA-16633: the only instance of the database cannot be removed
Cause: The instance to be removed was the only instance of the corresponding
database that is known to the broker.
Action: Remove the corresponding database object from the broker configuration
instead of that individual instance object of the database.
ORA-16635: NetSlave connection was broken in the middle of a transmission
session
Cause: The Data Guard NetSlave process 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 (e.g. the broker configuration file) to
the remote database. This error implies the transmission has to be restarted from
the beginning.
Action: In most cases, no user action is required. The Data Guard broker always
tries to resend the data from the beginning. If the problem persists, the user will
eventually see this error reported. This will indicate there are some problems with
the network connection between broker managed databases. Further network
troubleshooting should be done to identify and address the actual problem.
ORA-16636: 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 you identify the
reason why the target standby database was unable to participate in the STOP
OBSERVER operation. You may correct the problem that is indicated by that
information and retry the operation. Alternatively, you may forcibly disable
Fast-Start Failover while connected to the primary database using the DISABLE
FAST_START FAILOVER FORCE command in the DGMGRL CLI. You can then
stop the observer regardless of the current state of the target standby database.
ORA-16637: an instance failed to access the Data Guard broker configuration
Cause: When an instance was started, the DMON process on the instance failed to
access the Data Guard broker configuration. This can happen if the DG_BROKER_
CONFIG_FILE1 and DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2 initialization parameters are
not set up correctly to point to the broker configuration files shared among all
instances.
Action: Set DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE1 and DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE2 to
the correct file specifications that point to the broker configuration files shared
among all instances. Bounce the DMON process by setting DG_BROKER_START
initialization parameter to FALSE and then to TRUE.
ORA-16638: could not get the instance status
Cause: The broker failed to check whether the given instance was alive or not.
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: 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: CRS warns that multiple instances may still be running
Cause: A broker operation was underway that required CRS to stop monitoring
the instances of this database and to shut down all but one instance. Although
instance monitoring has ceased, CRS cannot guarantee that only one instance
remains running. The broker operation was canceled.
Action: Suspend CRS management of this database using SRVCTL STOP
DATABASE -D
ORA-16641: failure to acquire broker configuration metadata lock
Cause: Internal error
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
13-174 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16642: 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 that the broker expects to find via
that connect identifier matches the actual db_unique_name for that database.
ORA-16643: 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: 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: 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: Fast-Start Failover is disabled
Cause: The operation was not allowed because Fast-Start Failover is disabled.
Action: Enable Fast-Start Failover and retry the operation.
ORA-16647: 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: a new observer registered with identifier string
Cause: The observer is 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: database will open after Data Guard broker has evaluated Fast-Start
Failover status
Cause: The database is being opened while Fast-Start failover is enabled. The
message indicates that the Data Guard broker will first determine if conditions are
suitable for opening; that is, a Fast-Start failover did not occur while the database
was unavailable.
Action: No action is normally required. The Data Guard broker will continue
opening the database after determining a Fast-Start failover did not occur. If there
is a chance that a Fast-Start Failover did occur, the database will remain in the
mounted state and will not open. In this case, check the target standby to see if a
role transition took place.
ORA-16650: command incompatible when Fast-Start Failover is enabled
Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command which is not permitted when
Fast-Start Failover is enabled. The command was not issued using the Data Guard
broker.
Action: The attempted command must be issued using the Data Guard broker.
ORA-16651: 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 have not been met:
– The Data Guard configuration must be in MaxAvailability protection mode.
– The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the Fast-Start
Failover target standby database must be SYNC.
– 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”s
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 attempted command after correcting the issue:
– Set the Data Guard configuration to MaxAvailability protection mode.
– Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the
Fast-Start Failover target standby database are SYNC.
– Ensure that both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby
database have flashback enabled.
– Set the primary database”s FastStartFailoverTarget property to the db_unique_
name value of the desired target standby database add the desired target standby
database”s FastStartFailoverTarget property to the db_unique_name value of the
primary database.
ORA-16652: 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 you are attempting to disable Fast-Start Failover when this error is
reported, you may opt to disable Fast-Start Failover with the FORCE option. See
the description for DGMGRL”s DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER [FORCE]
command for more information.
ORA-16653: 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”s and/or the specified database”s Data Guard broker log files. This
information will be helpful in determining how to proceed.
13-176 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16654: Fast-Start Failover is enabled
Cause: The attempted command was not allowed while Fast-Start Failover (FSFO)
was enabled:
– The FastStartFailoverTarget property may not be modified.
– The LogXptMode property for either the primary database or the FSFO target
standby database may not be modified.
– Neither the broker configuration or the FSFO target standby database may be
disabled using the DGMGRL CLI”s DISABLE command.
– Neither the broker configuration or the FSFO target standby database may be
removed using the DGMGRL CLI”s REMOVE command.
– The FAILOVER IMMEDIATE command is not allowed.
Action: Disable Fast-Start Failover, using the FORCE option if required. Then
retry the attempted command.
ORA-16655: 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, you may disable Fast-Start Failover. You
may then retry the command while specifying the originally specified target
standby database.
ORA-16656: higher DRC UID sequence number detected
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a higher sequence value during its
bootstrap or health check operations. The sequence value is changed each time
switchover or failover completes successfully.
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 will be helpful in determining
how best to proceed from this failure.
ORA-16657: reinstatement of database in progress
Cause: Reinstatement of this database was in progress.
Action: No action is necessary.
ORA-16658: 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
allow a failover in the absence of the observer process.
ORA-16659: failover operation in progress
Cause: A primary database that restarted contacted a standby database that is
being failed over to.
Action: Shutdown 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 will allow it to be automatically reinstated as a standby
database to the new primary database.
ORA-16660: FSFO 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”s DMON process from
the primary”s DMON process. This normally occurs when the standby database is
successfully re-created or flashed back, and then reenabled at the primary
database. 2) You may 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 FSFO 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 at a later point in time
and if the state of Fast-Start Failover had been altered at the primary database in
the meantime.
ORA-16661: the standby database needs to be reinstated
Cause: A switchover or failover operatione 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-16700: 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: generic resource guard request failed
Cause: Request to modify or query the resource failed.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the reason for the failure, and reissue
the request.
ORA-16702: generic resource guard warning
Cause: A request to modify or query the resource resulted in a warning.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the reason for the warning, and if
necessary reissue the request.
ORA-16703: cannot set property while the database is enabled
Cause: An attempt was made to change a database property while the database
was enabled.
13-178 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Disable broker management of the database first, then update the
property and reenable the database.
ORA-16704: 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: internal error in resource guard
Cause: Internal error
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16706: no resource guard is available
Cause: No resource guard is available to service the request.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

Cause: An invalid property value was entered while broker management of the
database was disabled.
Action: Reset the value to a correct one.
ORA-16708: the state supplied to resource guard is invalid
Cause: The state name specified is invalid for the database.
Action: Check the state name and reissue the request.
ORA-16709: standby archived log location settings conflict with flash recovery area
Cause: The flash recovery area was already set up on the standby database for
storing incoming archived logs from the primary database. In this case, the
StandbyArchiveLocation and AlternateLocation properties should not be used for
setting up a standby archived log location. The Data Guard broker raised this error
because it detected one of the following: (1) the user attempted to use the
StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation properties to set up a standby
archived log location; (2) On the standby database, a local destination
corresponding to the StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation property was
still set up to store archived logs from the primary database.
Action: If you get this error when trying to set property StandbyArchiveLocation
or AlternateLocation (case (1) above), avoid setting these properties. If you get this
error after a broker health check (case (2) above), reenable the standby database to
clear the error.
ORA-16710: the resource guard is out of memory
Cause: The resource guard was unable to allocate memory while trying to service
a request.
Action: Disable broker management of the configuration, shut down Oracle,
increase SGA size, and restart.
ORA-16711: the resource guard index is out of bounds
Cause: Internal error

Cause: The resource guard timed out while servicing the request.
Action: Verify that the operation is valid for the database and then reissue the
request.
ORA-16714: the value of property string is inconsistent with the database setting
Cause: The value of the specified configuration property is 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 property InconsistentProperties on the database to determine the
inconsistent values. Reset the property to make it consistent with the database
setting.
ORA-16715: redo transport-related property string of standby database “string” is
inconsistent
Cause: The value of the specified redo transport-related configuration property of
the given standby database is inconsistent with the primary database”s redo
transport service setting. This may be caused by changing an initialization
parameter that corresponds to a configuration property.
Action: Query property InconsistentLogXptProps on the primary database to
determine the inconsistent values. Reset the property on the standby database to
make it consistent with the primary database”s redo transport setting.
ORA-16716: clearing parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST failed
Cause: An attempt to clear the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter failed.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16717: clearing parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST failed
Cause: An attempt to clear the LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameter
failed.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

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: setting AlternateLocation property conflicts with the redo transport
setting
Cause: The standby database is not using standby redo logs, and the redo
transport service to the standby database is set with a nonzero value of
ReopenSecs and a zero value of MaxFailure. In this case, the redo transport service
will retry the standby destination indefinitely and never switch to the alternate
destination.
Action: Any one of the following actions will solve the problem: (1) add standby
redo logs to the standby database; (2) set ReopenSecs property to zero; (3) set
MaxFailure property to a nonzero value. After executing one of the above actions,
reset the AlternateLocation property.
ORA-16724: the intended state for the database has been set to OFFLINE

Cause: There was an error stopping Redo Apply on a physical standby database.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert log for more details.
ORA-16775: target standby database in broker operation has potential data loss
Cause: The target standby database in the broker operation did not have all the
redo logs from the primary database. The switchover or protection mode upgrade
to maximum protection could not be performed.
Action: Query the SendQEntries monitorable property on the primary database to
see which redo logs are missing. Confirm that the redo transport service on the
primary database is functioning correctly by checking its status using the
StatusReport monitorable property. Perform log switches on the primary database
in order to activate the redo log gap fetching mechanism. Once all redo logs are
available on the target standby database, reissue the broker command.
ORA-16776: health check of the redo transport service failed
Cause: Due to some internal failure, the database resource guard could not
complete the health check of the redo transport service.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert log for more details.
ORA-16777: unable to find the destination entry of a standby database in
V$ARCHIVE_DEST
Cause: Either a destination was manually deleted or no entry was available for
Data Guard.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and the Oracle alert log for more details.
The redo transport service may need to be reset.
ORA-16778: redo transport error for one or more databases
Cause: The redo transport service was unable to send redo data to one or more
standby databases.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert log for more details.
Query the LogXptStatus property to see the errors.
ORA-16779: the destination parameter of a database is set incorrectly
Cause: The destination was defined in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n server
parameter file with incorrect syntax. The Data Guard broker failed to update the
destination when the redo transport was turned on.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log to see which database has the problem.
Fix the syntax error in the server parameter file or remove the entry from the
server parameter file. Check if the syntax of the redo transport-related properties
are correct.

ORA-16780: a database has exhausted its archived redo log storage quota
Cause: A database has exhausted its quota for storing archived redo logs.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log to see which database has the problem.
Remove some archived logs at the standby database or increase its quota.
ORA-16781: the status of redo transport service for a database is unknown
Cause: The redo transport service status to a standby database could not be
determined.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert log for more details.
ORA-16782: instance not open for read and write access
Cause: An instance was left in a mounted mode and was not open for read and
write access.
Action: Query the StatusReport property for more details. Open the instance
manually or by reenabling the database through the Data Guard broker.
ORA-16783: instance string not open for read and write access
Cause: The instance was left in a mounted mode and was not open for read and
write access.
Action: Open the instance manually or by reenabling the database through the
Data Guard broker.
ORA-16784: the database name in Dependency property is incorrect
Cause: The database name, which should be the value of the DB_UNIQUE_
NAME initialization parameter, specified in property Dependency is incorrect.
Action: Reset the Dependency property to the correct name of the database.
ORA-16785: the database is not in ARCHIVELOG mode
Cause: The database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, when it is either a primary
database or a standby database that is being switched over to be a primary
database.
Action: Reset the database to ARCHIVELOG mode by issuing ALTER
DATABASE ARCHIVELOG command.
ORA-16786: resource guard cannot access Data Guard broker metadata
Cause: The Data Guard broker configuration files did not exist or for some other
reason the resource guard could not access the Data Guard broker configuration
metadata.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for more details.
ORA-16788: unable to set one or more database configuration property values
Cause: This situation occurs when the database resource guard attempted to set
database configuration property values into the database by issuing “ALTER
SYSTEM” or “ALTER DATABASE” commands. Typical causes of this error are: a)
The values of redo transport-related properties have syntax errors; b) The Value of
LogArchiveTrace is out of range; c) Database initialization parameter STANDBY_
FILE_MANAGEMENT cannot be set to AUTO because the database compatability
is not set to 9.0.0.0.0 or higher.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log to see which property has the problem
and reset the property correctly.
ORA-16789: missing standby redo logs
Cause: Standby redo logs are missing and are needed for SYNC and ASYNC log
transport modes.
Action: Check the Data Guard documentation to see how to create standby redo
logs.
ORA-16790: the value of the configurable property is invalid
Cause: User entered an invalid property value.
Action: Reset the property to a correct value.
ORA-16791: unable to check the existence of the standby redo logs
Cause: The database may not be mounted, or the query of V$STANDBY_LOG
failed.
Action: Bring the database to the mounted state and then query V$STANDBY_
LOG to see if the problem has been corrected. Then retry the operation.
ORA-16792: configuration property value is inconsistent with database setting
Cause: The values of one or more configuration properties were inconsistent with
database in-memory settings or server parameter file settings. This may happen by
altering initialization parameters directly instead of altering property values using
Data Guard broker.
Action: Query property the InconsistentProperties 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 configuration property
settings to be propagated to to the initialization parameters.
ORA-16793: logical standby database guard is unexpectedly off
Cause: The logical standby database guard was unexpectedly turned off.
Action: Issue the ALTER DATABASE GUARD ALL command to turn the guard
on and verify that Data Guard health check error/warning is cleared.
ORA-16794: database guard is on for primary database
Cause: The database guard was turned on for the primary database.
Action: Issue the ALTER DATABASE GUARD NONE to turn off the guard and
verify that Data Guard health check error/warning is cleared.
ORA-16795: database resource guard detects that database re-creation is required
Cause: In the act of failover or switchover, the database resource guard may have
detected that re-creation of the database is necessary. This occurs when the
database resource guard recognizes a situation in which the database in question
cannot be 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. At this point you may connect to that standby database and resume
issuing client commands. 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.
13-188 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16796: 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 net-service-name specified in DGMGRL”s CREATE CONFIGURATION or
ADD DATABASE command is not one that provides access to the database being
added, or
– there are 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
net-service-name provides access to the running instance. Then reissue the
CREATE CONFIGURATION or ADD DATABASE command.
ORA-16797: database is not using a server parameter file
Cause: The database is not using a server parameter file or the resource guard was
unable to access the server parameter file.
Action: Issue CREATE SPFILE=”..” FROM PFILE=”…”” command to create a
server parameter file and then restart the database to use it.
ORA-16798: unable to complete terminal recovery on the standby database
Cause: Terminal recovery on the standby database failed during the failover
operation.
Action: Check Data Guard broker log and alert logs to see more details on the
reason of the failure.
ORA-16799: Redo Apply is offline
Cause: Either the Data Guard broker metadata indicates that Redo Apply is
turned off, or the recovery process, MRP0, is not running. In either of the cases,
Redo Apply-related properties cannot be set.
Action: Turn on Redo Apply through Data Guard broker and reissue the
command to set a Redo Apply-related property.
ORA-16800: redo transport service for a standby database incorrectly set to
ALTERNATE
Cause: The redo transport service for a standby database is currently set to
ALTERNATE when no other destination is set to alternate to this destination.
Action: Reset the database state to turn on redo transport again if necessary.
ORA-16801: 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 altering initialization parameters directly instead of
altering property values using Data Guard broker.
Action: Query property the InconsistentLogXptProps 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
configuration property settings to be propagated to to the initialization
parameters.
ORA-16802: 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 or ARCH when the configuration was in
Maximum Protection or Maximum Availability mode and the primary database
was a RAC database. This is not allowed, even if there are other standby databases
with log transport modes set to SYNC to support the data protection mode.
Action: You can do one of the following if you need to downgrade the redo
transport mode of the standby database: (1) Shut down all instances of the
primary database and restart one instance with initialization parameter
CLUSTER_DATABASE set to FALSE. Downgrade the redo transport mode,
shutdown the instance, and restart all instances with CLUSTER_DATABASE set to
TRUE. (2) Downgrade the protection mode to Maximum Performance mode first.
Then downgrade the redo transport mode, then upgrade the protection mode
again (which involves a shutdown and restart of the primary database). Note that
the above only works when there exists at least one more standby database in the
configuration that has the log transport mode set to SYNC.
ORA-16803: unable to query a database table or fixed view
Cause: Failed to query a database table or fixed view. The database may not be
open or mounted.
Action: Check Data Guard broker log for more details.
ORA-16804: 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”s configuration metadata have invalid values. The
property values have been changed while broker management of the database is
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: change of LogXptMode property violates overall protection mode
Cause: The standby database resource guard rejected the attempt to change the
LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database. The rejection was
necessary to avoid violating the overall protection mode for the configuration.
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, you will be able to
change the LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database.
ORA-16806: supplemental logging is not turned on
Cause: Supplemental logging was not turned on while there is a logical standby
database in the configuration. This could happen either on the primary or on the
logical standby database that is being switched over to be the primary database.
Action: Check 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: unable to change database protection mode
Cause: An attempt to issue the ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY TO
MAXIMIZE {PROTECTION | AVAILABILITY | PERFORMANCE} failed.
Action: Check the Oracle alert log and Data Guard broker log for more
information.
ORA-16808: unable to resolve the full path name
13-190 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: An attempt to resolve the full path name from a string failed.
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the full error stack. This likely the
result of an operating system error.
ORA-16809: multiple warnings detected for the database
Cause: The broker has detected multiple warnings for the database.
Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.
ORA-16810: multiple errors or warnings detected for the database
Cause: The broker detected multiple errors or warnings for the database.
Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.
ORA-16811: apply instance not recorded by the Data Guard broker
Cause: The broker has not registered an apply instance for a standby database.
Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.
ORA-16812: log apply service not running on apply instance recorded by the broker
Cause: Log apply services are not running on the apply instance the Data Guard
Broker expects them to be running upon.
Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.
ORA-16813: log apply service not running on apply instance string recorded by the
broker
Cause: Log apply services are not running on the apply instance the Data Guard
Broker expects them to be running upon.
Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.
ORA-16814: incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby
database
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that an incorrect redo transport setting
for a standby database”s AlternateLocation property. The incorrect setting could be
one of the following: one of the following: (1) the AlternateLocation property is
empty but the log transport to the standby database has an ALTERNATE setting;
(2) the AlternateLocation property is not empty but the log transport to the
standby database has no ALTERNATE setting; (3) the AlternateLocation property
does 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; (4) the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter
corresponding to the alternate location is not set to ALTERNATE; (5) the flash
recovery area is being used by the standby database for archived logs, but the redo
transport to the standby database still has an ALTERNATE setting for the
AlternateLocation. Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of the
above cases causes the error.
Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.
ORA-16815: incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby
database “string”
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that the redo transport setting for the
standby database regarding its AlternateLocation property value is incorrect. The
incorrect setting could be one of the following: (1) the AlternateLocation property
is empty but the log transport to the standby database has an ALTERNATE
setting; (2) the AlternateLocation property is not empty but the log transport to the
standby database has no ALTERNATE setting; (3) the AlternateLocation property
does 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; (4) the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter
corresponding to the alternate location is not set to ALTERNATE; (5) the flash
recovery area is being used by the standby database for archived logs, but the redo
transport to the standby database still has an ALTERNATE setting for the
AlternateLocation. Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of the
above cases causes the error.
Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.
ORA-16816: incorrect database role
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that this database object had a database
role that was different from the recorded database role 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 object.
ORA-16817: 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 logs to it. When the standby database has
received all of the redo logs from the primary database, the primary and standby
databases will then be synchronized. The Data Guard configuration may then
failover automatically to the standby database in the event of loss of the primary
database.
ORA-16818: Fast-Start Failover suspended
Cause: The primary database was intentionally shutdown. As a result, a Fast-Start
Failover could not happen automatically.
Action: Start up the primary database. This effectively restores the ability to
automatically do a Fast-Start Failover in the event of a failure of the primary
database.
ORA-16819: 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: 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 node where the observer was running was not available.
– The network connection between the observer and this database was not
available.
– 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
13-192 Oracle Database Error Messages
Guard configuration and issue the DGMGRL “STOP OBSERVER” command. Then
restart the observer on another node. You may use the DGMGRL “START
OBSERVER” command to start the observer on the other node.
ORA-16821: logical standby database dictionary not yet loaded
Cause: Logical standby apply had not finished loading the dictionary. This
warning is flagged by the broker”s health check mechanism. This error is also
flagged by failover and switchover if the target standby database has not loaded
its dictionary.
Action: Start SQL Apply on the logical standby database and wait for it to reach
the APPLYING state.
ORA-16822: new primary database not yet ready for standby database reinstatement
Cause: The new primary database, as a result of a logical failover operation, had
not fully completed the failover steps. Subsequent reinstatement operations could
not proceed until failover has completed on the new primary database.
Action: Wait until the completion of all failover steps on this new primary
database and then retry the reinstate operation.
ORA-16823: 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: Fast-Start Failover and other warnings detected for the database
Cause: The broker has detected multiple warnings for the database. At least one
of the detected warnings may prevent a Fast-Start Failover from occurring.
Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.
ORA-16825: Fast-Start Failover and other errors or warnings detected for the
database
Cause: The broker has detected multiple errors or warnings for the database. At
least one of the detected errors or warnings may prevent a Fast-Start Failover from
occurring.
Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.
ORA-16826: apply service state is inconsistent with the DelayMins property
Cause: This warning was caused by one of the following reasons:
1. Apply service was started without specifying the real time apply option or
without the NODELAY option while DelayMins is zero.
2. Apply service was started with the real-time apply option or with the
NODELAY option while DelayMins is 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.
