Action: Make more space in the Recovery Area. For example, this can be done by
increasing the value of DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE.

ORA-38709: Recovery Area is not enabled.
Cause: An ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK ON command failed because the
Recovery Area was not enabled.
Action: Set DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to a location and retry.

ORA-38710: Flashback log version string is incompatible with ORACLE version
string.
Cause: The flashback database log file was rejected because it appeared to be
written by an incompatible version of Oracle.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38711: Corrupt flashback log block header: block string
Cause: A corrupt Flashback Database log file block header was read. More
information was dumped to the trace file.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

and mount the correct database.

ORA-38726: Flashback database logging is not on.
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command was tried but flashback database
logging has not been enabled.
Action: Flashback database logging must be enabled via the ALTER DATABASE
FLASHBACK ON command before a FLASHBACK DATABASE command can be
tried. If the database must be taken back in time then a restore and incomplete
recovery must be performed.

ORA-38727: FLASHBACK DATABASE requires a current control file.
Cause: The control file being used is a backup control file.
Action: FLASHBACK DATABASE cannot be used with a backup control file. If
the database must be taken back in time then a restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed.

ORA-38728: Cannot FLASHBACK DATABASE to the future.
Cause: An SCN or time stamp provided in a FLASHBACK DATABASE command
was in the future.
Action: Supply a proper SCN or time stamp and retry the command.

ORA-38729: Not enough flashback database log data to do FLASHBACK.

Cause: The version of the flashback database log file header was corrupt.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38732: Expected file size string does not match string.
Cause: The file size indicated in the control file did not match the file size
contained in the flashback log file header. The flashback database log file was
corrupt.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38733: Physical size string less than needed string.
Cause: A flashback database log file shrank in size. This was likely to have been
caused by operator or operating system error.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38734: Flashback log is inconsistent; belongs to another database.
Cause: The database ID in the flashback database log file did not match the
database ID in the control file.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38735: Wrong log number string in flashback log file header.
Cause: The log file number in the flashback database log file did not match the
control file.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38736: Wrong thread number string in flashback log file header.

performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38737: Expected sequence number string doesn”t match string
Cause: The flashback database log is corrupted or is an old version.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38738: Flashback log file is not current copy.
Cause: A check of flashback database log file header at database open found that
the flashback database log appeared to be an incorrectly restored backup.
Flashback database log files cannot be backed up and restored.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38739: Flashback log file is more recent than control file.
Cause: The control file change sequence number in the flashback database log file
was greater than the number in the control file. This implies that the wrong control
file was 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: FLASHBACK DATABASE can only be used with the current control file.
If it is not available, then a restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed
instead.

ORA-38740: Usable blocks value string is not valid.
Cause: A flashback database log file header contained a usable blocks value
greater than the file size. The flashback database log file file is corrupt.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38741: Formatted blocks value string is not valid.
Cause: The formatted blocks value in the flashback database log file was greater
than the file size. The flashback database log file was corrupt.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38742: Flashback log file has incorrect log reset status.
Cause: The flashback database log file header had log reset data that was different
than the control file. The log was probably an incorrectly restored backup.
Flashback database logs cannot be backed up.
Action: If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be
performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery
must be performed instead.

ORA-38743: Time/SCN is in the future of the database.
Cause: The Time/SCN provided in a FLASHBACK DATABASE command was in
the future of the database.
Action: Retry the command with a correct Time/SCN or RECOVER the database.

ORA-38744: file string is not the same file seen at start of flashback
Cause: A different copy of the file was accessed the last time FLASHBACK
DATABASE looked at the file header. A backup of the file was restored or the
meaning of the file name changed during FLASHBACK DATABASE.
Action: Ensure the correct file is available, then retry FLASHBACK DATABASE.

ORA-38746: error occurred while restoring data block (file# string, block# string)
Cause: An error occurred during a FLASHBACK DATABASE command. See
other errors on error stack.
Action: Investigate why the error occurred. It may be that the flashback database
log data is corrupt. If so, a restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed
instead.

ORA-38747: corrupt before image (file# string, block# string)
Cause: A corrupt data block before image was encountered during a
FLASHBACK DATABASE command.
Action: The flashback log data is probably corrupt. If so, a restore and an
incomplete recovery must be performed instead.

ORA-38748: cannot flashback data file string – file is in use or recovery
Cause: An attempt to do FLASHBACK DATABASE found that the file was not
available for recovery. Either it was online and the database was open in some
instance, or another process was currently doing media recovery or flashback on
the file.
Action: Do not do FLASHBACK DATABASE.

ORA-38749: A media recovery has been started.
Cause: An attempt was made to start a FLASHBACK DATABASE in the same
session as a media recovery.
Action: Complete or cancel the first media recovery session.

ORA-38750: FLASHBACK DATABASE may not be performed using a dispatcher.
Cause: An attempt was made to use a dispatcher process for FLASHBACK
DATABASE. Memory requirements disallow this recovery method.
Action: Connect to the instance via a dedicated server process to perform
FLASHBACK DATABASE.

ORA-38752: file string does not exist
Cause: During an RMAN FLASHBACK DATABASE conversation, a file was
listed which was not part of the database. The RMAN conversation was aborted.
Action: Retry the conversation with the appropriate file numbers.

ORA-38753: Cannot flashback data file string; no flashback log data.
Cause: An attempt to perform a FLASHBACK DATABASE failed because the file
does not have enough flashback log data to cover the time to flash back. Either the
file did not have flashback generation enabled for it, or had flashback generation
turned off for it some time during the time span of the flashback.
Action: The file cannot be flashed back. The file must be taken offline or the
tablespace dropped before continuing with the FLASHBACK DATABASE
command.

ORA-38754: FLASHBACK DATABASE not started; required redo log is not
available
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command did not start. A redo log needed
for the recovery part of FLASHBACK DATABASE could not be found or accessed.
Action: See trace files for details of the problem.

ORA-38755: Flashback is already turned on for this tablespace.
Cause: An attempt was made to turn on flashback database logging for a
tablespace that already has flashback turned on.
Action: No action required.

ORA-38756: Flashback is already turned off for this tablespace.
Cause: An attempt was made to turn off flashback database logging for a
tablespace that already has flashback off.
Action: No action required.

ORA-38757: Database must be mounted and not open to FLASHBACK.
Cause: An attempt to Flashback a database was made when the database was not
mounted or was already open.
Action: Mount the database and retry the FLASHBACK command.

ORA-38758: cannot flashback data file string; restored since last recovery
Cause: An attempt to do FLASHBACK DATABASE found that the file was
restored since the last standby recovery. The file cannot be flashed back.
Action: The file must be taken offline before continuing with the FLASHBACK
DATABASE command.

ORA-38759: Database must be mounted by only one instance and not open.
Cause: An attempt to turn on or off Flashback Database logging was made when
the database was open or mounted by more than one instance.
Action: Mount the database in only one instance and retry the command.

ORA-38760: This database instance failed to turn on flashback database
Cause: Database flashback is on but this instance failed to start generating
flashback data. Look in alert log for more specific errors.
Action: Correct the error or turn off database flashback.

ORA-38761: redo log sequence string in thread string, incarnation string could not
be accessed
Cause: A redo log needed for the recovery portion of FLASHBACK could not be
read or opened. The FLASHBACK operation failed.
Action: Restore the log and retry the FLASHBACK command.

ORA-38762: thread string redo log with scn string could not be found
Cause: A redo log needed for the recovery portion of FLASHBACK could not be
found. The FLASHBACK operation failed.
Action: Restore the log and retry the FLASHBACK command.

ORA-38763: flashback not started; enabled threads have changed
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command did not start. The set of enabled
threads changed during the time to flash back.
Action: The flashback cannot be performed. Perform a restore and an incomplete
recovery instead.

ORA-38764: flashback not started; datafile string enabled threads are different
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command did not start. The datafile was
restored from a backup taken when the enabled threads were different than at the
time of the flashback.
Action: The flashback cannot be performed. Perform a restore and an incomplete
recovery instead.

ORA-38765: Flashed back database cannot be opened read-only.
Cause: A complete recovery was performed after a database flashback but the
database was not opened for read-write access, or a FLASHBACK DATABASE
command failed.
Action: If a complete recovery was performed after a database flashback, open the
database for read-write access. If a FLASHBACK DATABASE command failed, fix
what caused the command to fail and retry the command, or recover and open the
database for read-write access.

ORA-38766: cannot flashback data file string; file resized smaller
Cause: An attempt to do FLASHBACK DATABASE found that the file was
shrunk during the time to flash back.
Action: The file cannot be flashed back. The file must be taken offline or the
tablespace dropped before continuing with the FLASHBACK DATABASE
command.

ORA-38767: flashback retention target parameter mismatch
Cause: The value of parameters DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET must
be same in all instances. All databases must have same flashback retention target
parameters.
Action: Check DB_FLASHBACK_RETENTION_TARGET values in all instances.

ORA-38768: resizing datafile string failed
Cause: An operating system error occurred when Flashback Database tried to
shrink (resize) a datafile. Flashback shrinks a file in order to undo the effects of a
file expand, for example, an autoextension of the file.
Action: Recover the database to return it to its previous state, or fix the cause of
the operating system error and retry the Flashback. If that is not possible, then the
file can be taken offline and the Flashback command retried. The file will have to
be restored from a backup and rolled forward.

ORA-38769: FLASHBACK DATABASE failed after modifying data.
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command failed after modifying the the
database. Look in the alert log for more information about the failure.
Action: Recover the database to return it to its previous state, or fix the cause of
the error and retry the Flashback.

ORA-38770: FLASHBACK DATABASE failed during recovery.
Cause: A FLASHBACK DATABASE command successfully restored the database
but failed during the recovery step. Look in the alert log for more information
about the failure.
Action: Fix the error and then recover the database to the same SCN or timestamp
used in the FLASHBACK DATABASE command.

ORA-38771: unnamed datafile(s) added to control file by flashback recovery
Cause: The recovery step of FLASHBACK DATABASE encountered the creation
of a datafile that could not be added to the control file. An entry has been added to
the control file for the new datafile, but with the file name UNNAMEDnnnn,
where nnnn is the file number. Related error messages provide the file names that
were originally used to create the files.
Action: Rename the file in the control file, or use the ALTER ALTER DATABASE
CREATE DATAFILE command to create a file suitable for recovery. If the file is not
going to be recovered, then take it offline with the FOR DROP option. The
recovery step of Flashback can be resumed by entering a RECOVERY command
with the same SCN or timestamp as used in the FLASHBACK DATABASE
command. For example, RECOVER AUTOMTAIC DATABASE UNTIL CHANGE
.

ORA-38772: cannot add datafile “string” – file could not be created
Cause: The recovery step of FLASHBACK DATABASE encountered the creation
of a datafile and could not recreate the file. The error from the creation attempt is
displayed in another message. The control file file entry for the file is
“UNNAMEDnnnnn”.
Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE statement to create the
file.

ORA-38773: cannot add data file “string” – file already part of database
Cause: The recovery step of FLASHBACK database encountered the creation of a
datafile and could not create the file because the file name is already in use in the
database. The control file file entry for the file is “UNNAMEDnnnnn”.
Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE statement to create the
file with a different name.

ORA-38774: cannot disable media recovery – flashback database is enabled
Cause: An attempt was made to disable media recovery while flashback database
was enabled.
Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK OFF statement to disable
flashback database, then disable media recovery.

ORA-38775: cannot disable flash recovery area – flashback database is enabled
Cause: An attempt was made to set DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to null while
flashback database was enabled. Flashback database requires DB_RECOVERY_
FILE_DEST to be set.
Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK OFF statement to disable
flashback database, then disable the flash recovery area.

ORA-38776: cannot begin flashback generation – flash recovery area is disabled
Cause: During a database mount, the RVWR process discovered that the flash
recovery area was disabled. DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST must have been set null
or removed from the INIT.ORA file while the database was unmounted.
Action: Flashback database requires the flash recovery area to be enabled. Either
enable the flash recovery area by setting the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST and DB_
RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE initialization parameters, or turn off flashback
database with the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK OFF command.

ORA-38777: database must not be started in any other instance.
Cause: A command was attempted that required the database to be mounted in
this instance and not started in any other instance. Standby database recovery
through a RESETLOGS and ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS require that
the database be started in only one instance if flashback database logging is
enabled.
Action: Ensure that the no other instances are started. Then retry the command.

ORA-38778: Restore point “string” already exists.
Cause: The restore point name of the CREATE RESTORE POINT command
already exists. A restore point name must be unique.
Action: Either use a different name or delete the existing restore point with the
same name.

ORA-38779: cannot create restore point – too many restore points.
Cause: The maximum number of restore points already have been created.
Action: Delete some existing restore point and retry the operation.

ORA-38780: Restore point “string” does not exist.
Cause: The restore point name of the DROP RESTORE POINT command does not
exist.
Action: No action required.

ORA-38781: cannot disable media recovery – have guaranteed restore points
Cause: An attempt was made to disable media recovery while there is at least one
guaranteed restore point.
Action: Drop all guaranteed restore points and then disable media recovery.

ORA-38782: cannot flashback database to non-guaranteed restore point “string”
Cause: An attempt was made to flashback database to a non-guaranteed restore
point while flashback database is off. You can only flashback a database to
guaranteed restore point when flashback database is not on.
Action: Consider picking a guaranteed restore point to flashback the database to,
if there is one.

ORA-38783: Instance recovery required.
Cause: An attempt was made to create a restore point when the database is in
mount mode but it was not shutdown cleanly before it was mounted. In order to
create a restore point when the database is mounted, the database must be
shutdown cleanly before it is mounted.
Action: Consider one of the following:
1. Create the restore point after opening the database.
2. Open the database, shut it down cleanly, mount the database, and retry creating
the restore point.

ORA-38784: Cannot create restore point “string”.
Cause: An attempt to create a restore point failed. See other errors on the error
stack for the specific reason.
Action: Fix the problem and retry.

ORA-38785: Media recovery must be enabled for guaranteed restore point.
Cause: Media recovery is not enabled. Media recovery must be enabled in order
to create a guaranteed restore point.
Action: Turn on media recovery with an ALTER DATABASE ARCHIVELOG
statement and then retry the command.

ORA-38786: Flash recovery area is not enabled.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform a command that requires Flash recovery
area to be enabled.
Action: Set DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to an appropriate location and retry.

ORA-38787: Creating the first guaranteed restore point requires mount mode when
flashback database is off.
Cause: While flashback database is not on, an attempt was made to create the first
guaranteed restore point while the database is open.
Action: Mount the database and retry.

ORA-38788: More standby database recovery is needed
Cause: An attempt was made to create a restore point or a guaranteed while a
physical standby database is not cleanly checkpointed.
Action: Perform more standby database recovery via managed standby database
recovery. Cancel managed recovery and retry the command.

ORA-38790: BEFORE must be specified with RESETLOGS
Cause: The FLASHBACK DATABASE command included the RESETLOGS
parameter but not the BEFORE parameter.
Action: Retry the command with TO BEFORE RESETLOGS.

ORA-38791: flashback did not start because file string was not in a valid incarnation
Cause: Flashback could not be started because a file was checkpointed or fuzzy at
a point where the file can neither be restored nor recovered to our restore target. In
order for a file to be brought to the restore target, the file has to be in one of the
incarnations along the ancestral path from the current incarnation to the restore
incarnation.
Action: Manually restore or recover the file to a point where it is in one of the
incarnations along the ancestral path from the current incarnation to the restore
incarnation.

ORA-38792: encountered unknown flashback record from release string
Cause: A Flashback Database logfile contains a record written by a future Oracle
release and is unknown by this release.
Action: The given release of Oracle must be installed in order to use these
flashback database log files.

ORA-38793: cannot FLASHBACK the database to a future SCN/time
Cause: The Flashback Database target SCN/timestamp is greater than the current
database SCN/timestamp and the database incarnation is not the last opened
incarnation.
Action: If the target SCN/timestamp is in the current incarnation or a child
incarnation whose branch point is after the current database SCN then RECOVER
DATABASE to the target SCN/time. If the target SCN/timestamp is in a child
incarnation whose branch point is prior to the current database SCN then
FLASHBACK DATABASE to before the branch point. Next use RMAN to reset the
database to the child incarnation. Finally, RECOVER DATABASE to the target
SCN/time.

ORA-38794: Flashback target time not in current incarnation
Cause: The Flashback Database target timestamp is not in the database”s current
incarnation or any of its ancestors.
Action: Use a different target timestamp or use RMAN to reset the database to the
appropriate incarnation.

ORA-38795: warning: FLASHBACK succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get
error below
Cause: Flashback Database 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 is that Flashback Database had to add a
file back to the control file but could not restore the file”s contents.
Action: If a backup is available, restore the backup, online the file, and recover the
database to the original flashback target scn or timestamp. If a backup is not
available, but the redo from the file creation to the target scn or timestamp is
available, then create the file using the ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE
command, bring the file online, and recover the database to the original flashback
target scn or timestamp.

ORA-38796: Not enough flashback database log data to undo FLASHBACK.
Cause: There was not enough flashback log data to undo the flashback so a
flashback was not started.
Action: It is still possible to get to the restore target by doing a flashback until the
resetlogs branch point of the restore target is reached. This can be done by
executing multiple “flashback to before resetlogs” commands, or by doing a
flashback to the exact time or SCN of the desired resetlogs branch point. Note that
this flashback cannot be undone should an error occur. The only option is to
complete the flashback.

ORA-38797: Full database recovery required after a database has been flashed back
Cause: An attempt was made to recover some datafiles or tablespaces of a
database after the database had been flashed back. In order to recover control file
and all datafiles correctly, full database recovery is required after a database has
been flashed back.
Action: Recover the whole database instead.

ORA-38798: Cannot perform partial database recovery
Cause: See other other messages on error stack for the cause.
Action: See other other messages on error stack for the action.

ORA-38850: an enabled thread missing from control file
Cause: A CREATE CONTROLFILE statement was given that did not list all the
enabled threads for the database.
Action: Reissue the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, including all enabled
threads.

ORA-38851: cannot mark the current instance (redo thread) as disabled
Cause: The standby switchover or failover operation failed because it needs to
mark the current instance (redo thread) as disabled.
Action: Shut down this instance and start up using a different instance name or
redo thread number and retry.

ORA-38852: cannot mark the current instance (redo thread) as disabled
Cause: The open resetlogs or standby activation operation failed because it must
use a different instance (redo thread) than the current instance (redo thread) to
open the database.
Action: Shut down this instance and start up using a different instance name or
redo thread number and retry.

ORA-38853: cannot mark instance string (redo thread string) as disabled
Cause: The standby switchover or failover operation failed because it needs to
mark an instance (redo thread) as disabled. That instance was up, which
prevented it from being disabled.
Action: Shut down the specified instance and retry this command.

ORA-38854: cannot mark instance string (redo thread string) as disabled
Cause: The open resetlogs or standby activation operation failed because it needs
to mark an instance (redo thread) as disabled. That instance was up, which
prevented it from being disabled.
Action: Shut down the specified instance and retry this command.

ORA-38855: cannot mark instance string (redo thread string) as enabled
Cause: The standby switchover or failover operation failed because it needs to
mark an instance (redo thread) as enabled. However, it had less than 2 online redo
logs, which prevented it from being enabled.
Action: Add more logfiles to the specified instance and retry the command.

there was a type with the same name but a different hashcode (and type
definition) on the target system. Tables in the transportable tablespace set that use
this object type cannot be created.
Action: Drop the object type and dependent objects from the target system if
possible and retry the operation.

ORA-39217: object type “string”.”string” typeid mismatch
Cause: An object type in a transportable tablespace set already exists on the target
system, but with a different typeid. The typeid could not be changed because the
type or a dependent type is used by an existing table. Tables in the transportable
tablespace set that use this object be created.
Action: Drop the object type and dependent objects from the target system if
possible and retry the operation.

ORA-39218: type check on object type “string”.”string” failed

conversion.

ORA-39766: invaid stream specified for column array conversion
Cause: A stream must be loaded and reset before used again in a
column-array-to-stream conversion. This error is issued if another stream has
subsequently been converted before the specified stream has been loaded, or if the
latest load of this stream returned OCI_ERROR.
Action: Don”t convert into a previous stream before it is loaded. Also, when load
stream returns OCI_ERROR, the stream must be loaded again to insure any
remaining information in the stream is loaded. The stream must be loaded even if
the last or only row was in error. There may be error information in the stream that
needs to be sent to the server.

ORA-39767: finish is not allowed when unloaded stream data exists
Cause: A direct path finish was attempted when at least one stream buffer has not
been completely loaded.
Action: All streams must be loaded after a column array to stream conversion
until load stream returns a status of OCI_SUCCESS or OCI_NO_DATA. The load
can then be finished.

ORA-39768: only one direct path context top level column array is allowed

Cause: Part of a row has been loaded, but it is not complete.
Action: Finish loading the current row when load stream returns OCI_ERROR or
OCI_NEED_DATA.

ORA-39771: stream must be loaded before its handle is freed
Cause: An attempt was made to free a stream handle after conversion but before
the stream was loaded.
Action: Load the stream until OCI_SUCCESS, OCI_NEED_DATA or OCI_NO_
DATA is returned before attempting to free the stream handle. If OCI_NEED_
DATA is returned, another stream must be loaded to complete last row.

ORA-39772: column array reset disallowed after OCI_CONTINUE or OCI_NEED_
DATA
Cause: An attempt was made to reset a column array when a row conversion is
still in progress.
Action: Complete the current row before reseting the column array. To ignore the
current row when conversion returned OCI_NEED_DATA, set the current column
flag to OCI_DIRPATH_COL_ERROR. This should be followed by a conversion,
which will undo and ignore the row. The column array(s) can then be reset.

ORA-39773: parse of metadata stream failed
Cause: An unexpected error occured while attempting to parse the metadata //
stream for a table being loaded.
Action: Call Oracle support.

ORA-39774: parse of metadata stream failed with the following error: string

DIRPATH_PARALLEL. This error will also be issued when loading any columns
that are stored as lobs (such as varrays and xml types).
Action: Do not use the parallel attribute when loading lob columns.

ORA-39779: type “string”.”string” not found or conversion to latest version is not
possible
Cause: Unable to import table data using the specified type. The type was
nonexistent in the database or the input type could not be converted to the existing
type. The reasons why a conversion was not possible are:
1. The version of the type in the database was greater than the version of the type
at export time because 1 or more attributes have been added or dropped from the
type.
2. If the type existed in the database prior to the import operation, then its internal
identifier may not match the internal identifier of the type from the export
database. The identifiers must match for an import to succeed.

How to replace disks in ASM

Example of script used for replacement ASM disks in database production:

1. Creating the disk with root user – run in one instance:
cd /etc/init.d
. /oracleasm createdisk ORADT1  /dev/mapper/ORADT1
./oracleasm scandisks
./oracleasm listdisks

2. After create disks, run scandisks in all instances and verify the new disk:
cd /etc/init.d
./oracleasm scandisks
./oracleasm listdisks

3. Add the disk in the Group. You need login on ASM database, on 11g version use grid user and login “as sysasm”:

Alter diskgroup ORADATA ADD DISK '/dev/oracleasm/disks/ORADT1' SIZE 204797 M REBALANCE POWER 5;

The rebalance power 5 is usually for production environment.

4. Wait the end of rebalance. See the query:
SELECT GROUP_NUMBER, OPERATION, STATE, POWER, EST_MINUTES FROM V$ASM_OPERATION;

 5. After the end of rebalance, drop the old disks:
Alter diskgroup ORADATA DROP DISK ORADISK_0001  rebalance power 5;

6. Wait until the rebalance finished watching the select below. You can clean disk only if goup_number is zero:
select name,group_number,path from v$asm_disk where group_number=0;

7. Clean Header ASM disks (required because of BUG that even after the drop claims that the disk is busy):
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/ORADISK_01 bs=1024 count=100

8. Delete definitely from ASM:
./oracleasm deletedisk /dev/mapper/ORADISK_01

Good Luck !

Action: Use the CHGDFN command to change the concat dimension to UNIQUE
and retry.

ORA-33218: (CINSERT04) %K is not a valid value for the workspace object
dimension. Values for this dimension can have at most number significant digits
after rounding to number decimal places.
Cause: The user attempted to insert a value that had too many digits into a
NUMBER dimension. For instance, the user might have tried to insert the value
99999 (5 digits) into a dimension with data type NUMBER(4).
Action: Use a smaller number for the dimension value, or define a new dimension
with a larger precision and replace the old dimension with the new one.

ORA-33219: (CINSERT05) %K cannot be added to workspace object because it is
already a value of the dependent UNIQUE concat dimension workspace object,
from leaf dimension workspace object.
Cause: A value cannot be added to a dimension if it conflicts with an existing
value in a unique concat dimension containing this dimension.
Action: The concat(s) causing the conflict could be CHGDFNed to NOT UNIQUE,
or either of the duplicate values could be renamed to make them UNIQUE.

ORA-33223: (CMOVE03) You cannot move a session-only dimension value.
Cause: The user named a SESSION dimension value in the MAINTAIN MOVE
command.
Action: Do not try to MAINTAIN MOVE session-only dimension values.

ORA-33247: (CRENAME03) %K is already a value of the dependent UNIQUE concat
dimension workspace object, from leaf dimension workspace object.
Cause: A value cannot be renamed in a dimension if the new value conflicts with
an existing value in a unique concat dimension containing this dimension.
Action: The concat(s) causing the conflict could be CHGDFNed to NOT UNIQUE,
or either of the duplicate values could be changed to make them UNIQUE.

ORA-33261: (DBERRLEN) Analytic workspace string extension number truncated at
number bytes while trying to read at number.
Cause: Either an internal error or a mistaken user has truncated the AW
Action: Export any data if possible and restore from backup

ORA-33262: (DBERR01) Analytic workspace string does not exist.
Cause: The analytic workspace requested does not seem to be in the current
database
Action: Check that you are in the correct schema and have access to the requested
AW.

ORA-33263: Could not create analytic workspace string
Cause: A serious error was encountered while trying to set up the tables for the
named analytic workspace. Possibilities include a tablespace that can”t be written
to, corrupted metadata about which AWs exist, bogus tables with names the code
expects to be able to use, or the remains of a partially removed AW.
Action: There should be another error on the error stack. Consult it to determine
what is causing the problem and remove that table.

ORA-33265: (DBERRBSZ) Analytic workspace string cannot be opened. Tablespace
blocksize number does not match database cache size number.
Cause: The blocksize of the containing tablespace didn”t match database cache
size.
Action: Change either size to make them consistent, or set olap_page_pool_size to
0 to allow automatic OLAP pool management when compatibility is greater than
10.2.

ORA-33267: (DBERRRLS) Analytic workspace string cannot be accessed because it
has fine-grained access control applied to it
Cause: An attempt was made to access the specified analytic workspace”s LOB
table. The OLAP option detected the table had fine-grained security applied to it.
The OLAP option requires full access to this table to operate correctly.
Action: Remove the fine-grained access control.

ORA-33269: while operating on “string”
Cause: Error is raised to inform user what object was being worked on when an
error occurred during the creation of an AW. It should always be signaled with
33263
Action: See error#33263

ORA-33270: (DBERR05) Analytic workspace string already exists.
Cause: The AW CREATE command was passed the name of an analytic
workspace that already exists
Action: Specify a different name.

ORA-33274: (DBERR07) Timed out while trying to lock analytic workspace string
for string.
Cause: A lock operation that was supposed to happen very quickly was taking
too long. It can be due to another session being stopped while holding that lock,
another session crashing while holding that lock, or an internal error.
Action: If another session is stopped, resume that session to let it release the lock.
If another session has crashed, wait for a few minutes while PMON or SMON
process is recovering that lock. Contact Oracle OLAP Support if none of the
situations above apply.

ORA-33278: (DBERR09) Analytic workspace string cannot be attached in RW or
EXCLUSIVE mode until the changes made and updated in MULTI mode are
committed or rolled back.
Cause: There are still changes to this analytic workspace that were updated and
not committed when the workspace was attached in MULTI mode.
Action: Either try attaching the workspace is RO or MULTI mode or commit or
roll back the transaction before trying to attach the workspace in RW or
EXCLUSIVE mode.

ORA-33280: (DBERR10) Analytic workspace string cannot be attached in MULTI
mode until the changes made and updated in RW or EXCLUSIVE mode are
committed or rolled back.
Cause: There are still changes to this analytic workspace that were updated and
not committed when the workspace was attached in RW or EXCLUSIVE mode.
Action: Either try attaching the workspace is RO, RW, or EXCLUSIVE mode or
commit or roll back the transaction before trying to attach the workspace in
MULTI mode.

ORA-33282: (DBERR11) Cannot wait for analytic workspace string to become
available since doing so would cause a deadlock.
Cause: Trying to wait for the workspace to become available caused a deadlock.
Action: Release an analytic workspace that some other user might be waiting for
before proceeding to attach this analytic workspace in this mode.

ORA-33284: (DBERR12) Analytic workspace string cannot be opened in MULTI
mode before converting it by the latest version of string.
Cause: The AW is stored in 9i format.
Action: Convert the AW to a later format

ORA-33288: (DBERR15) Another user has incompatible access to analytic workspace
string, and the wait timeout has expired.
Cause: An attempt to access an analytic workspace conflicted with another user”s
access, and the timeout specified has elapsed.
Action: Wait until the conflicting user is done.

ORA-33290: (DBERR17) Analytic workspace string cannot be attached in the mode
you requested because another user has it attached in an incompatible mode.
Cause: An attempt to access an analytic workspace conflicted with another user”s
access, and no timeout was specified
Action: Wait until the conflicting user is done.

ORA-33292: (DBERR18) insufficient permissions to access analytic workspace string
using the specified access mode.
Cause: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this analytic workspace in
the desired mode.
Action: Ask the owner of the schema or OLAP DBA to grant you sufficient
permissions to access the {SCHEMA}.AW${AWNAME} table (for example,
SCOTT.AW$FOO table).

ORA-33297: (DBERR22) Analytic workspace string cannot be opened because it was
last modified by an incompatible version of string.
Cause: The user attempted to attach an old OLAP Services analytic workspace
that cannot be converted by this version of OLAP Services.
Action: Either create a new analytic workspace or try using a version of OLAP
Services compatible with the one that created this analytic workspace.

ORA-33298: (AWUPG01) Analytic Workspace string is already in the newest format
allowed by the current compatibility setting
Cause: User ran the DBMS_AW.CONVERT procedure on an Analytic Workspace
that was created in or previously upgraded to the current compatibility mode.
Action: If upgrading the Analytic Workspace is necessary, upgrade the database
instance and then re-run DBMS_AW.CONVERT. If the new features offered by
upgrading the Analytic Workspace are not required, then no action is needed.

ORA-33302: (DBVALID01) SEVERE ERROR: Record number multiply used.
Cause: The AW VALIDATE command has detected an error in the structure of the
analytic workspace. This error will result in the corruption of one or more objects
Action: Export what you can of the analytic workspace.

ORA-33304: (DBVALID02) Note: Record number was allocated but not used. This
can result in wasted space.
Cause: This is a benign message. The AW VALIDATE command found an analytic
workspace has some inaccessible space.
Action: Either nothing, or export and recreate the analytic workspace

ORA-33305: (DBVALID06) Note: Record number was allocated but not used. This
can result in wasted space. (PS number)
Cause: This is a benign message. The AW VALIDATE command found an analytic
workspace has some inaccessible space.
Action: Either nothing, or export and recreate the analytic workspace

ORA-33306: (DBVALID03) The AW VALIDATE command cannot be used with
read-only analytic workspace string.
Cause: The AW VALIDATE command does not support read-only access.
Action: Attach the analytic workspace read/write and try again.

ORA-33308: (DBVALID04) SEVERE ERROR: Record number used but not allocated
Cause: The AW VALIDATE command has detected a problem that will result in
corruption of the analytic workspace. There is no corruption yet.
Action: Export and recreate the analytic workspace.

ORA-33309: (DBVALID05) SEVERE ERROR: Record number used but not allocated
(PS number)
Cause: The AW VALIDATE command has detected a problem that will result in
corruption of the analytic workspace. There is no corruption yet.
Action: Export and recreate the analytic workspace.

ORA-33313: (DELDENT05) workspace object cannot be deleted because it is the
target of an external partition of a partitioned variable.
Cause: User attempted to delete a variable, but some partitioned variable was
defined to use that variable as the target of one of its external partitions.
Action: DELETE the partitioned variable or CHGDFN DROP PARTITION the the
external partition from the partitioned variable, then delete the target variable.

ORA-33315: (XSDELDENTANON) You cannot delete workspace object while
looping over unnamed composite workspace object.
Cause: While looping over the named anonymous composite, an attempt was
made to delete an object which is dimensioned by it.
Action: Delete the object outside of a loop over the dimension.

ORA-33332: (DSSEXIST01) Use the AW command to establish a current analytic
workspace. Then start your current activity again.
Cause: There is no currently active analytic workspace. The command that
generated the error requires an active analytic workspace to operate on.
Action: Execute an AW ATTACH or AW CREATE command to establish an active
workspace.

ORA-33334: (DSSEXIST04) Analytic workspace string is not attached.
Cause: The specified analytic workspace is currently not attached to the session,
or the name is misspelled.
Action: Attach the analytic workspace with the AW ATTACH command, or
correct the spelling of the name .

ORA-33336: (DSSEXIST04A) Analytic workspace string is not attached.
Cause: The specified analytic workspace is currently not attached to the session,
or the name is misspelled.
Action: Attach the analytic workspace with the AW ATTACH command, or
correct the spelling of the name .

ORA-33338: (DSSEXIST05) You cannot specify the EXPTEMP analytic workspace.
Cause: The command requires a non-temporary analytic workspace to operate on.
Action: Specify an analytic workspace other than EXPTEMP.

ORA-33413: (EIFMAKEF01) You cannot export compressed composite workspace
object because one of its bases has limited status or a PERMIT READ
restriction.
Cause: Export of a compressed composite to an EIF file or lob failed because one
or more of the bases had some values that were not in the current status. This can
be caused either by a LIMIT command or a PERMIT READ restriction on the
dimension.
Action: Either set the base dimensions” statuses to ALL and remove their PERMIT
READ programs, or export using the NOAGGR keyword.

ORA-33425: (EIFMAKEF15) CAUTION: Exporting NTEXT objects using string for
the EIF file character set can cause loss of data. To preserve all NTEXT data,
export using the UTF8 character set for the EIF file.
Cause: The user exported an object with data type NTEXT, but the EIF file that
will result from the EXPORT command is not written in Unicode. Because no
non-Unicode file can represent all possible Unicode data, it is possible that some
data will be lost when converting from the Unicode NTEXT object to the EIF file.
The EIF file will be written in the character set indicated by the “nls_charset”
argument of the EXPORT command, or, if no such argument is present, in the
database character set.
Action: If the user is certain that the contents of the NTEXT object can be
represented in the specified character set, then no action is necessary. Otherwise,
the user can add “nls_charset “UTF8″” to the EXPORT command string. This will
result in the EIF file being written in UTF8 Unicode, which can represent all the
data contained in NTEXT objects.

ORA-33427: (EIFMAKEF16) CAUTION: NTEXT object workspace object will be
exported with type TEXT.
Cause: User attempted to export an object whose data type is NTEXT, but but the
EIFVERSION option indicates a version of Express / Oracle OLAP that does not
support the NTEXT data type. The object will be exported as a TEXT object
instead.
Action: No action needed.

ORA-33429: (EIFMAKEF17) CAUTION: NTEXT expression will be exported with
type TEXT.
Cause: User attempted to export an expression whose data type is NTEXT, but
but the EIFVERSION option indicates a version of Express / Oracle OLAP that
does not support the NTEXT data type. The expression will be exported as a TEXT
object instead.
Action: No action needed.

ORA-33443: (ESDREAD14) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
analytic workspace string is not attached.
Cause: A program used an analytic workspace name in a qualified object name.
The named analytic workspace is not attached at program run time.
Action: No action necessary. The program will be automatically recompiled. It is
likely that the recompile will fail with an appropriate exception code, in which
case the signaled condition should be corrected and the program re-run.

ORA-33445: (ESDREAD15) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
workspace object and workspace object, which were not partition-dependent
when the code was compiled, are now partition-dependent.
Cause: Two variables are “partition-dependent” if they share any external
partition target variables, or if one is the target of an external partition of the other.
If object names referred to non-partition-dependent variables at compile time but
refer to partition-dependent variables in the run-time context, the OLAP DML
program, formula, or model will be automatically recompiled.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33447: (ESDREAD16) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
workspace object and workspace object, which were partition-dependent when
the code was compiled, are now not partition-dependent.
Cause: Two variables are “partition-dependent” if they share any external
partition target variables, or if one is the target of an external partition of the other.
If object names referred to partition-dependent variables at compile time but refer
to non-partition-dependent variables in the run-time context, the OLAP DML
program, formula, or model will be automatically recompiled.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33448: (ESDREAD04) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number now has string data, whereas it had string data when the code was
compiled.
Cause: The datatype of the specified variable has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33449: (ESDREAD17) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
the partition method or partition dimension of number has changed since it was
compiled.
Cause: The partitioning method (LIST, RANGE, or CONCAT) or the partition
dimension of the partition template is sufficiently different from what it was when
the code was compiled that the code must be recompiled.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33450: (ESDREAD05) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number now has more or fewer dimensions than it had when the code was
compiled.
Cause: The dimensionality of the specified object has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33452: (ESDREAD06) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number is now dimensioned by workspace object. It was dimensioned by
workspace object when the code was compiled.
Cause: The dimensionality of the specified object has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33454: (ESDREAD07) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number is now string workspace object, whereas it was string workspace object
when the code was compiled.
Cause: The specified object has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33456: (ESDREAD08) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number is a(n) string, which string did not expect to find in a compiled program.
Cause: The type of the specified object has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33458: (ESDREAD09) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number is now type string, whereas it was type string when the code was
compiled.
Cause: The type of the specified object has changed.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33460: (ESDREAD10) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
object workspace object is not in analytic workspace string.
Cause: The specified object is not in the same analytic workspace it was in when
the compiled object was compiled.
Action: None needed.

ORA-33462: (ESDREAD10A) Discarding compiled code for workspace object
because object number is not in analytic workspace string.
Cause: The specified object was not in the same analytic workspace it was when
the compiled object was compiled
Action: None needed.

ORA-33468: (ESDREAD13) Discarding compiled code for workspace object because
number is no longer a surrogate of dimension workspace object.
Cause: When the compiled code was saved, the specified object was a surrogate
of a certain dimension. Now the specified object is a surrogate of a different
dimension.
Action: No action needed; program automatically recompiles.

ORA-33557: (MAINTCHK01) You cannot string values of dimension workspace
object during a loop over it.
Cause: User tried to insert or delete a value of the specified dimension while some
loop over that dimension was active. The loop could be an explicit FOR or
ACROSS loop, or a natural expression evaluation or OLAP_TABLE loop. Also, it
could be a loop over the dimension itself or over a derived dimension (like a
composite or partition template) or dimension alias that includes it. The insert or
delete could be explicitly caused by the MAINTAIN command. It is also possible
that the user attempted to assign a value to a variable or partition dimensioned by
a composite during a loop over that composite using a qualified data reference
(QDR), and that the exception was generated by the engine”s attempt to insert a
new position in the composite to hold the new value.
Action: Move the dimension maintenance or QDR-based variable assignment
outside the dimension loop.

ORA-33558: (LOCKCHECK01) The status or contents of the workspace object
dimension cannot be changed while the LOCK_LANGUAGE_DIMS option is
set to value.
Cause: A LIMIT or MAINTAIN was attempted on the named language dimension
while the boolean option LOCK_LANGUAGE_DIMS was set to YES.
Action: SET LOCK_LANGUAGE_DIMS to NO and retry the MAINTAIN or
LIMIT.

ORA-33625: (FRASSIGN02) You cannot use the APPEND keyword with concat
dimension workspace object.
Cause: User used the APPEND keyword on a CONCAT target in a FILEREAD,
SQL FETCH or SQL SELECT command.
Action: APPENDing a value to one of the CONCATs leaves automatically
appends to the CONCAT.

ORA-33883: (MAKEDCL36) You cannot use the string attribute when you define an
EXTERNAL partition with an existing target.
Cause: User gave the TEMPORARY keyword in the definition of an external
partition whose target variable was previously defined.
Action: Any storage characteristics of the external partition are determined by the
target variable. These attributes should be set when the target is defined, not when
the external partition is defined.

ORA-33911: (MAKEDCL29) You cannot define a string in analytic workspace string
because it has not been upgraded to version string.
Cause: User attempted to define an object that requires a certain compatibility
setting in an AW that has not been upgraded to that compatibility level.
Action: Make sure that the database is running in the appropriate compatibility
mode, and upgrade the AW.

ORA-33918: (MAKEDCL33) You cannot define a surrogate of dimension workspace
object because it is a string.
Cause: Not all kinds of dimensions can have surrogates. The user attempted to
define a surrogate of a prohibited kind of dimension.
Action: Do not attempt to define a surrogate on this dimension.

ORA-33920: (MAKEDCL34) The string SURROGATE must have one of the
following data types: ID, NTEXT, TEXT, NUMBER, or INTEGER.
Cause: The user attempted to define a surrogate without specifying a valid data
type.
Action: Specify the data type (ID, NTEXT, TEXT, NUMBER, or INTEGER) in the
definition of the surrogate.

ORA-33922: (MAKEDCL35) You cannot define a surrogate of dimension workspace
object because it is a time dimension.
Cause: The user attempted to define a surrogate on a dimension that has type
DAY, WEEK, MONTH, or YEAR.
Action: Do not attempt to define a surrogate on this dimension.

ORA-33998: (MODCOMP12) You cannot use both workspace object and workspace
object as model dimensions, because workspace object is a surrogate of
workspace object.
Cause: The user attempted to include both a dimension and its surrogate in the
DIMENSION statement of a model.
Action: Use either the dimension or the surrogate in the DIMENSION statement
of the model, but not both.

ORA-34000: (MODCOMP13) You cannot use both workspace object and workspace
object as model dimensions, because they are both surrogates of dimension
workspace object.
Cause: The user attempted to include two dimension surrogates of the same
dimension in the DIMENSION statement of a model.
Action: Use either of the two surrogates in the DIMENSION statement of the
model, but not both.

ORA-34001: (MODCOMP14) Concat leaf dimension workspace object already is
used in a DIMENSION statement, either explicitly or as a leaf of another concat
dimension.
Cause: Either two concat dimensions which share a common leaf dimension, or a
concat and one of its leaves where both specified in the DIMENSION statement(s).
Action: Do not specify overlapping concat dimensions, or any leaves of specified
concat dimensions.

ORA-34019: (MSCGADD03) workspace object is not a LIST PARTITION
TEMPLATE.
Cause: User attempted to MAINTAINT ADD or DELETE a list value from a
RANGE or CONCAT partition template.
Action: Partitioning in a RANGE or CONCAT partition template cannot be
changed using the MAINTAIN command.

ORA-34021: (MSCGADD04) You must specify a partition when maintaining
PARTITION TEMPLATE workspace object.
Cause: User attempted to MAINTAINT ADD or DELETE a list value from a LIST
partition template, but didn”t specify which partition to add to or delete from.
Action: Specify the partition: maintain (template) add to partition (partitionname)
(values) or maintain (template) delete from partition (partitionname) (values)

ORA-34059: (MSEXECUT12) You cannot delete non session-only dimension values
from unique concat dimension workspace object.
Cause: The user tried to apply MAINTAIN DELETE to a non-SESSION value.
Action: Only use MAINTAIN DELETE to remove SESSION values from a concat
dimension.

ORA-34061: (MSEXECUT11) Session-only values cannot be added to non-unique
concat dimension workspace object, or any of its base dimensions.
Cause: Only UNIQUE concat dimensions can have custom member values.
Action: Use the CHGDFN command to change the concat dimension to UNIQUE
and retry.

ORA-34141: (MXCGPUT00) You cannot use the ASSIGN keyword with
DIMENSION workspace object.
Cause: User used the ASSIGN keyword on a DIMENSION target in a FILEREAD,
SQL FETCH or SQL SELECT command.
Action: To create a new dimension value in a FILEREAD, SQL FETCH or SQL
SELECT command, use the APPEND keyword.

ORA-34143: (MXCGPUT02) You cannot assign values to SURROGATE workspace
object because it is type INTEGER.
Cause: The user attempted to assign a value to a dimension surrogate whose data
type is INTEGER. INTEGER surrogates, like INTEGER dimensions, cannot have
values assigned to them. They can only be referenced by position.
Action: Do not attempt to assign values to an INTEGER surrogate. Values will
automatically appear and disappear from the INTEGER surrogate as positions are
added to or removed from the underlying dimension.

ORA-34145: (MXCGPUT03) You cannot use the APPEND keyword with
SURROGATE workspace object.
Cause: User used the APPEND keyword on a SURROGATE target in a
FILEREAD, SQL FETCH or SQL SELECT command.
Action: To assign a value to a SURROGATE in a FILEREAD, SQL FETCH or SQL
SELECT command, use the ASSIGN keyword.

ORA-34164: (MXCGVAR01) A dimension used to define a local string variable
cannot be located. Execution cannot continue.
Cause: A local relation or valueset has become invalid, most probably because an
object used by the currently executing program has been deleted.
Action: This is an internal error that should be referred to Oracle technical
support.

ORA-34177: (MXCHGDCL19) number cannot be deleted because one or more
partitioned variables instantiate it.
Cause: User attempted to CHGDFN DELETE a partition template, but some
partitioned variable had data in the partition specified for deletion.
Action: Drop the partitions that are causing the problem, then retry.

ORA-34179: (MXCHGDCL20) workspace object is not a PARTITION TEMPLATE.
Cause: User specified an object that is not a partition template where a partition
template is required.
Action: Supply the name of a partition template.

ORA-34181: (MXCHGDCL21) workspace object is not a partitioned VARIABLE.
Cause: User specified an object that is not a partitioned variable in a place where a
partitioned variable is required.
Action: Supply the name of a partitioned variable.

ORA-34183: (MXCHGDCL22) Partition number already exists.
Cause: User attempted to ADD a partition that already existed to a partitioned
variable.
Action: None required – the partition already exists.

ORA-34210: (MXCHGDCL18) You cannot change workspace object to a dimension
composite because one or more surrogates has been defined for it.
Cause: The user attempted to redefine a conjoint dimension as a composite, but
the conjoint has one or more surrogates defined. A dimension that has surrogates
cannot be redefined as a composite.
Action: Either delete all surrogates for the dimension, or do not attempt to
redefine the dimension as a composite.

ORA-34243: (MXDCL11) You can only use the string keyword when defining a
COMPOSITE.
Cause: User supplied the COMPRESSED keyword when defining an object that
was not a COMPOSITE.
Action: If the intent is to create a compressed composite, make sure that the object
type is COMPOSITE. Otherwise, remove the COMPRESSED keyword from the
command string and rerun.

ORA-34260: (MXDCL25) You cannot use number to dimension a string because it is,
or involves, a dimension composite. Use the composite”s bases instead.
Cause: The user attempted to use a COMPOSITE in the dimension list of an object
that does not allow for such dimensions.
Action: Use the base dimensions of the COMPOSITE in the dimension list.

ORA-34276: (MXDCL33) (Precision, Scale) arguments can only be used with a
NUMBER variable or dimension.
Cause: The user attempted to use NUMBER(Precision) or NUMBER(Precision,
Scale) as the datatype in a definition for some object other than a DIMENSION or
VARIABLE, such as a FORMULA or PROGRAM. This error can also be produced
in cases where a NUMBER data type is not allowed at all.
Action: Use the NUMBER type without specifying a precision or scale. If a
NUMBER data type is not allowed at all, this fix will only change the exception
message to something more specific.

ORA-34279: (MXDCL37) CONCAT can only be used when defining a DIMENSION.
Cause: The CONCAT keyword was used incorrectly.
Action: Retry the command without the CONCAT keyword.

ORA-34286: (MXDCL53) workspace object cannot be used in this context because it
is a string.
Cause: User specified a dimension composite, conjoint, or partition template in a
place where that kind of dimension is not allowed. For instance, a relation cannot
be dimensioned by a composite, and only a variable can dimensioned by a
partition template.
Action: Usually, the offending dimension can be replaced with its bases. For
instance, a relation cannot be dimensioned by a a composite of PRODUCT and
GEOG, but it can be dimensioned by both PRODUCT and GEOG instead.

ORA-34296: (MXDCL36) A NUMBER dimension must be defined with a fixed
precision and scale, using the form NUMBER(precision) or NUMBER(precision,
scale).
Cause: The user attempted to define a NUMBER dimension without specifying a
precision. The proper format for declaring a number dimension is
NUMBER(Precision) or NUMBER(Precision, Scale). NUMBER with no precision or
scale is not allowed.
Action: Use NUMBER(Precision) or NUMBER(Precision, Scale) to specify the
datatype of a NUMBER dimension.

ORA-34342: (MXDSS01) IMPORTANT: Analytic workspace string is read-only.
Therefore, you will not be able to use the UPDATE command to save changes to
it.
Cause: This is an informational message that reminds you that you may not save
changes to the specified analytic workspace.
Action: None, unless it was desired to save changes to the analytic workspace. In
that case, detach and reattach the analytic workspace read-write.

ORA-34344: (MXDSS03) Analytic workspace string is not attached.
Cause: The command attempted to operate on an analytic workspace that is not
currently attached, or the name of the analytic workspace is misspelled.
Action: Attach the analytic workspace or correct the spelling.

ORA-34346: (MXDSS04) The string analytic workspace cannot be detached.
Cause: The specified analytic workspace is an internal workspace and may not be
detached by the user.
Action: Specify a different analytic workspace to detach.

ORA-34348: (MXDSS05) string is used only for internal purposes and cannot be
accessed as an analytic workspace.
Cause: The command attempted to operate on an internal analytic workspace
used by the system.
Action: Specify a different analytic workspace.

ORA-34350: (MXDSS06) string is an open analytic workspace.
Cause: The specified analytic workspace is currently in use.
Action: The desired action requires an analytic workspace that is not currently in
use.

ORA-34357: (MXDSS10) string is not an alias of analytic workspace string.
Cause: User attempted to use AW UNALIAS on a non-existent alias.
Action: Make sure that the command specified the correct analytic workspace and
alias. The alias must have been assigned (using AW ALIAS) during the current
session and must not have been removed by a previous AW UNALIAS or AW
DETACH command.

ORA-34358: (MXDSS14) number other users reading
Cause: Used for AW LIST output formatting when %d > 1
Action: None

ORA-34359: (MXDSS11) string appears twice in the alias list.
Cause: User included the same name twice in the alias list of an AW ALIAS or
AW UNALIAS command.
Action: Remove the duplicate name and try again.

ORA-34360: (MXDSS15) number other users writing
Cause: Used for AW LIST output formatting when %d > 1
Action: None

only condition in the WHERE clause.

ORA-34719: (NLSCHARSET03) Character data loss in NTEXT/TEXT conversion
Cause: When character set conversion happens between TEXT and NTEXT either
implicitly or explicitly, some characters are lost due to no mapping characters in
the destination character set.
Action: Make sure all the characters can be mapped to destination character set or
set NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP to be FALSE. Note: This message is the OLAP
equivalent of ORA-12713.

ORA-34722: (NLSCHARSET05) CAUTION: Character data loss in character set
conversion from string to string
Cause: Some operation required a string to be converted into a different character
set, but the string contained characters that didn”t exist in the new character set.
Action: Choose different character sets.

ORA-34726: (NLSCHARSET06) CAUTION: String truncated during character set
conversion from string to string
Cause: Some operation required a string to be converted into a different character
set. The string required more bytes in the new encoding, and exceeded some byte
limit on its allowable length, causing some characters to be removed from the end
of the string.
Action: If the byte limit is due to using the ID datatype, consider using the CHAR
datatype instead. If the byte limit is due to the limit of 4000 bytes per line of CHAR
data, break the long line up into multiple lines.

ORA-34802: (OCI11) OLAP OCI operation caused ROLLBACK past an UPDATE of
an attached analytic workspace. Current operation canceled.
Cause: ROLLBACK past the UPDATE of one of the attached Analytic Workspaces

could not find the appropriately numbered extension file.
Action: Move the missing file into one of the searched directories.

ORA-35071: (QFHEAD06) EIF file string cannot be imported because analytic
workspace string has not been upgraded to version string.
Cause: User attempted to import from an EIF file that was created by a newer
version of the product into an AW that was created by a older version of the
product.
Action: Make sure that the compatibility mode parameter in the init.ora of the
importing instance specifies a version that is at least as high as the parameter was
in the exporting instance. Then, convert the AW to the latest storage format and
reexecute the import command. Alternatively, change the EIFVERSION option of
the exporting instance to a lower number, recreate the EIF file, and import the new
file.

ORA-35074: (QFHEAD02) EIF file string cannot be read by this version of string.
Cause: The EIF file was created with an internal version number indicating it may
contain objects that are not compatible with the current Oracle OLAP version, or
the EIF file is in an obsolete format.
Action: If possible, set EIFVERSION in the exporting instance to a lower number,
recreate the EIF file, and import the new file.

ORA-35076: (QFHEAD04) CAUTION: The textual data in EIF file string is encoded
in a character set that is not recognized by this version of string.
Cause: IMPORT could not recognize the character set specification in the EIF file.
Action: Check the imported text data. If it was not imported correctly, recreate the
EIF file with a character set supported by the current Oracle version.

ORA-35078: (QFHEAD05) An EIF extension file header for string is not in the
correct format.
Cause: An EIF extension file in multi-file IMPORT did not contain correct header
information.
Action: Check to be sure that EIFEXTENSIONPATH is set correctly and that all
the extension files for the current IMPORT were created by the same EXPORT
command as the main EIF file.

ORA-35095: (QFSVNS01) One or more imported values of fixed-width dimension
workspace object have been truncated.
Cause: The data in the EIF file was exported from a dimension with wider values
than the target dimension will accommodate.
Action: Change the definition of the target dimension, or check to be sure that
multiple values from the target dimension have not become identical during the
import process. This could cause data loss as data from later dimension values
overstores data imported earlier.

ORA-35180: (SNSYN103) The format of the OUTFILE command is: OUTFILE
[APPEND] {EOF | TRACEFILE | filename [NOCACHE] [NLS_CHARSET
name]}
Cause: The user specified incorrect syntax for the OUTFILE command.

the AGGREGATE command line
Action: Specify a legal variable instead

ORA-36157: (XSMXAGGRCOMMIT) To use the AUTOCOMMIT keyword, you
must also specify the AUTOUPDATE keyword.
Cause: The user specified AUTOCOMMIT but not AUTOUPDATE on the
AGGREGATE command line, which is illegal
Action: Either also specify AUTOUPDATE or don”t specify AUTOCOMMIT

ORA-36160: (XSMXAGGR04) You cannot use string on scalar VARIABLE workspace
object.
Cause: The user tried to run the AGGREGATE or AGGCOUNT command or
function on a scalar variable.
Action: Specify a dimensioned variable instead

ORA-36161: (XSAGGRRUVCV) Aggregation variable workspace object cannot have
itself as a COUNTVAR.
Cause: The user specified the same variable as both an aggregation variable and a
COUNTVAR
Action: Specify a different COUNTVAR

ORA-36162: (XSMXAGGR05) COUNTVAR variable workspace object must be of
type INTEGER, not string.
Cause: The user specified a non-INTEGER variable as a COUNTVAR for
aggregation
Action: Redefine the COUNTVAR to be an INTEGER

ORA-36163: (XSMXAGGR06) The AGGREGATE function cannot be run on more
than one variable at a time.
Cause: The user named several variables to be AGGREGATED within a call to the
AGGREGATE function.
Action: The AGGREGATE function should be used to produce a single numeric
value from aggregating a single variable. The AGGREGATE command can be
used to precompute aggregations of several different variables.

ORA-36164: (XSMXAGGR07) When using the COUNTVAR clause, the number of
variables to be aggregated (number) must match the number of COUNTVAR
variables (number).
Cause: The user specified a COUNTVAR clause to the AGGREGATE command,
but the number of COUNTVAR variables specified did not match the number of
variables to be aggregated
Action: Specify a separate COUNTVAR for each variable

ORA-36165: (XSAGGCNTPROP) Variable workspace object cannot have both an
AGGCOUNT and the $COUNTVAR property.
Cause: An attempt was made to add the $COUNTVAR property to a variable
which already had an AGGCOUNT, or vice versa.
Action: Delete the already existing $COUNTVAR property or AGGCOUNT first.

ORA-36166: (XSMXAGGR08) workspace object is not a VARIABLE.
Cause: An attempt was made to perform an AGGREGATE or other action on an
object which is not a variable.
Action: Specify a variable instead.

ORA-36167: (XSAGGRFORM) workspace object is an illegal AGGMAP for
aggregating a FORMULA.
Cause: The user attempted to aggregate a FORMULA using an AGGMAP that is
not valid for aggregating FORMULAs. The AGGMAP must specify
PRECOMPUTE(NA) for all relation lines and must not specify any caching.
Action: Correct the AGGMAP so it is legal for aggregating a FORMULA.

ORA-36168: (XSMXAGGR10) COUNTVAR variable workspace object must have the
same dimensionality as workspace object
Cause: The user specified a COUNTVAR variable which is missing at least one
dimension of the aggregation variable

dimensions as the aggregation variable

ORA-36170: (XSMXAGGR12) The data type of the WEIGHT workspace object must
be numeric or BOOLEAN, not string.
Cause: The user specified a WEIGHT variable or formula which wasn”t numeric
or boolean
Action: Specify a numerical or boolean weight instead

ORA-36174: (XSMXAGGR23) workspace object must be either a VARIABLE, a
RELATION or a FORMULA.
Cause: The user specified something that was not a variable, a relation or a
formula as a weight for AGGREGATE
Action: Specify a valid variable, relation or formula instead

ORA-36176: (XSMXAGGR25) Relation workspace object must be a one-dimensional
self-relation to be used as a weight for AGGREGATE.
Cause: The user specified an illegal relation as a weight. The relation might have
been multidimensional, not a self-relation, or not a relation over one of the bases of
the aggregation variable.
Action: Specify a valid self relation over one of the bases of the aggregation
variable.

ORA-36178: (XSAGGR01) To be used with AGGREGATE, AGGMAP workspace
object must be declared with the AGGMAP command.
Cause: The user used the ALLOCMAP command to define the AGGMAP, so the
AGGMAP can only be used with the ALLOCATE command, or the AGGMAP has
no contents attached to it.
Action: Use the AGGMAP command to define the AGGMAP.

ORA-36179: (XSNOAGM) No AGGMAP was specified for VARIABLE workspace
object.
Cause: The user used the AGGREGATE command without specifying an
AGGMAP on the command line, with a variable which had no $AGGMAP
property.
Action: Specify an AGGMAP on the AGGREGATE command line, or add the
$AGGMAP property to the variable in question.

ORA-36180: (XSAGGR08) AGGREGATE cannot function because there is a
permission clause associated with variable workspace object.
Cause: When using AGGREGATE, only simple permissions and permissions on
base dimensions are valid.
Action: Remove the permissions clause from the variable causing problems.

ORA-36181: A VARIABLE cannot have both the $AGGREGATE_FROM and
$AGGREGATE_FROMVAR properties applied to it.
Cause: The user attempted to add both the $AGGREGATE_FROM and
$AGGREGATE_FROMVAR properties to a single variable.
Action: Remove the existing property before applying the new one.

ORA-36182: (XSAGGR09) Could not locate a value for variable number in measure
dimension workspace object.
Cause: A measure dimension was supplied in the AGGMAP, but a position for
the variable was not found in it.

ORA-36185: (XSAGGR11) workspace object does not have any AGGCOUNT
information.
Cause: User attempted an operation (such as the AVERAGE aggregation operator
or the AGGCOUNT function) that requires a variable to have AGGCOUNT
information on a variable that does not.
Action: Define the variable using the WITH AGGCOUNT clause, or use the
CHGDFN ADD AGGCOUNT command to enable AGGCOUNT for the variable.

ORA-36188: (XSAGGR16) AGGREGATE read a value less than 1 out of
COUNTVAR variable workspace object. Either the values of the COUNTVAR
variable are stored improperly, or there is problem in AGGREGATE. If no one
has modified the values in this COUNTVAR, contact Oracle customer support.
Cause: Either someone improperly changed the COUNTVAR variable, or
AGGREGATE has an error.
Action: Set the COUNTVAR variable to NA before starting AGGREGATE. If you
previously set the COUNTVAR variable to NA, then contact Oracle OLAP
technical support.

ORA-36198: (XSAGGR33) The AGGREGATE operator string does not require a
weight, but ARGS variable workspace object specified workspace object as a
weight.
Cause: The ARGS variable specified a weight even though one is not needed.
Action: Modify the ARGS variable so that it does not specify a weight for that
operation.

ORA-36200: (XSAGGR34) AGGREGATE operator string requires a WEIGHTBY
clause, but ARGS variable workspace object did not specify one.
Cause: The given operator requires a WEIGHT specification, but the ARGS
variable did not supply one.
Action: Modify the ARGS variable to specify a weight for the operation.

ORA-36202: (XSAGOP01) “number” is not a valid aggregation operator.
Cause: An invalid string was provided for an aggregation operator.

ORA-36206: (XSAGOP04R) In AGGMAP workspace object, REMOPERATOR string
must be MIN, MAX, FIRST, LAST, HFIRST or HLAST.
Cause: An invalid REMOPERATOR was specified.
Action: Specify one of the legal operators.

ORA-36208: (XSAGOP05N) In AGGMAP workspace object, you can only specify
NAOPERATOR string with the PROPORTIONAL or EVEN operators, not
string.
Cause: The user specified an NAOPERATOR when you were not using
PROPORTIONAL or EVEN.
Action: Remove the NAOPERATOR clause from the RELATION line.

ORA-36210: (XSAGOP05R) In AGGMAP workspace object, you can only specify the
REMOPERATOR string with the PROPORTIONAL, EVEN, or HEVEN
operators, not string.
Cause: The user specified a REMOPERATOR without using PROPORTIONAL,
EVEN, or HEVEN.
Action: Remove the REMOPERATOR clause from the RELATION line.

ORA-36212: (XSAGOP06) In AGGMAP workspace object, you can only specify the
MIN, MAX, FLOOR, and CEILING arguments while using the
PROPORTIONAL operator, not string.
Cause: The user specified MIN, MAX, FLOOR, or CEILING when using an
operator other than PROPORTIONAL.
Action: Remove the incorrect argument from the RELATION line.

ORA-36220: (XSLPDSC01) All dimensions in LIST number are also in the IGNORE
clause.
Cause: One of the dimension lists in the dimension loop descriptor had no base
dimensions except those in the IGNORE list. This leaves no dimensions for
looping over.
Action: Fix the dimension loop descriptor.

ORA-36221: (XSLPDSC02) LIST number and LIST number have different base
dimensions.
Cause: The base dimensions of the dimension lists given in the loop descriptor do
not match.
Action: Ensure that each dimension list has the same set of looping base
dimensions. If necessary, use IGNORE within a lists to discard base dimensions
that should not be looped.

ORA-36222: (XSLPDSC03) duplicate IGNORE or DENSE information for dimension
workspace object
Cause: An IGNORE or DENSE list in a dimension loop descriptor included the
dimension twice, included two different valuesets of the dimension, or includes
the dimension and a valueset of the dimension.
Action: Only use the dimension or a valueset of the dimension once in an
IGNORE or DENSE list.

ORA-36223: (XSLPDSC04) object workspace object in IGNORE or DENSE list has
illegal type
Cause: An IGNORE or DENSE list in a dimension loop descriptor included and
object that was not a dimension or a valueset, was a conjoint dimension, or was a
dimensioned valueset.
Action: Only use simple dimensions and undimensioned valuesets in the
IGNORE or DENSE list.

ORA-36224: (XSLPDSC05) workspace object is not a loop dimension
Cause: An IGNORE or DENSE list in a dimension loop descriptor referenced a
dimension (or a valueset of a dimension) that was not a base dimension of the
loop dimension list.
Action: Remove the dimension or valueset from the IGNORE or DENSE list.

ORA-36258: (XSAGINFO00) When the AGGMAPINFO function is called,
workspace object must be an AGGMAP.
Cause: The AGGMAPINFO function was called with an object that is not an
AGGMAP.
Action: Modify the call to AGGMAPINFO to specify an AGGMAP object.

ORA-36260: (XSAGHIERPART00) Aggregating from partition %J to partition %J
over hierarchy workspace object creates an increase in sparsity.
Cause: In the partition creation / aggmap creation a situation developed such that
when aggregating over a particular dimension of the aggmap a partition boundary
was crossed such that the sparsity of the target partition included dimensions that
were not in the sparsity of the source partition. Since the process of aggregation
always densifies rather than sparsifying this is an extremely suboptimal design
and it is not supported by the aggregate system.
Action: Set up your partitioning such that for any partition boundary the source
and target partitions of the aggregation will always move towards denser
partitions. For any child (c) and any parent (p) where (c) and (p) are in different
partitions it must be the case that the parent partition contains no dimension in the
composite that the child partition does not contain in its composite.

ORA-36261: (XSAGPARTDEP00) Can not Aggregate PARTITION TEMPLATE %J
because the path of aggregation would recursively enter partition %J.
Cause: The partitioning scheme was such that while aggregating there exists a cell
(m) such that both one of its descendants and one of its ancestors are both in the
referenced partition, while (m) is in a different partition.
Action: Change the partitioning scheme.

ORA-36266: (XSCGMDLAGG00) Invalid context for the AGGREGATION function
Cause: The AGGREGATION function was used outside of the MODEL context.
Action: Use AGGREGATION only in a model.

ORA-36267: (XSCGMDLAGG09) workspace object has no dimensions, so it cannot
have a qualified data reference.
Cause: A dimension qualification was specified for a valueset with no
dimensions.
Action: Remove the qualification.

ORA-36268: (XSCGMDLAGG01) “string” is not a valid dimension value.
Cause: The AGGREGATION parameter list included a value that does not exist in
the MODEL dimension that contains the target of the AGGREGATION
Action: Specify only values from the appropriate MODEL dimension

ORA-36269: (XSCGMDLAGG10) “workspace object” does not exist or is not a
dimension.
Cause: A nonexistent or invalid object was specified as a QDR dimension.
Action: Specify existing dimensions only.

ORA-36270: (XSCGMDLAGG03) The parameter list for the AGGREGATION
function includes duplicate values.
Cause: One or more duplicate values appeared in the AGGREGATION parameter
list.
Action: Remove the duplication.

ORA-36271: (XSCGMDLAGG11) workspace object is not in the dimension list of
valueset workspace object.
Cause: A QDR dimension was specified that does not appear in the valueset”s
dimension list.

partition dimension of some RANGE or LIST partition template.
Action: It is not possible to rename values in such a dimension without deleting
all RANGE and LIST partition templates that are partitioned by it.

ORA-36685: (XSDPART23) Only CONCAT partition templates can be
subpartitioned.
Cause: User attempted to define a RANGE or LIST partition template with one or
more partitions dimensioned by another partition template.
Action: Use only regular dimensions and composites to dimension each partition
of the RANGE or LIST template.

Cause: When one resyncs an object that is dimensioned by a dimension map, the
dimension map is resynced automatically, dropping all changes. This cannot be
done, however, if the automatic resync of the dimension map might cause data in
an object that shares the dimension map to become NA.
Action: Resync both objects together. Alternatively, you can try to acquire the
other object (that will ensure that the dimensions map is locked in the latest
generation and will not be resynced when resyncing the first object), resync the
first object, and release the other object.

internal partition, which could not be locked for a while since it is locked by
another user
Action: Try to acquire this object later

ORA-37042: (XSACQUIRE_DEP_DEADLOCK) Cannot wait to acquire composite,
concat, dimension map, or internal partition workspace object since doing so
would cause a deadlock.
Cause: Some object required locking a composite, concat, dimension map, or
internal partition, which would cause a deadlock
Action: Release some other object that another user is waiting for and try to
acquire this object again.

ORA-37043: (XSACQUIRE_DEP_OLDGEN) Composite, concat, dimension map, or
internal partition workspace object cannot be locked since another user has
committed a new one already.
Cause: Some object required locking a composite, concat, dimension map, or
internal partition in the present generation, which is not possible since a newer
generation already exists.
Action: Try to acquire the main object with resync

ORA-37044: (XSACQUIRE_OLDGEN) Cannot acquire object workspace object
without resync.
Cause: Could not acquire the object without resync because another user has
committed a newer version of it already.

Cause: A request was made for advice for a relation with different dimensionality
from the output valueset.
Action: Request using objects that have the same dimensionality.

ORA-37086: %s is not a valueset
Cause: An operation was attempted that supports only valuesets as precompute
expressions in an aggmap, yet a different kind of precompute expression was
used.
Action: Replace this limit expression with an equivalent valueset and retry the
operation. General precompute expressions are deprecated.

ORA-37100: (XSUNCOMMITTED) You have one or more updated but uncommitted
analytic workspaces.
Cause: The user has attempted to shut down OLAP, but they have active analytic
workspaces whose changes have not been saved.
Action: Issue the commit command. —- 37101 – 37110 are reserved for partitioned
variables —-

ORA-37101: (XSVPART01) Partitioning information can only be given for variables
dimensioned by a PARTITION TEMPLATE.
Cause: User attempted to define or reference an AW object with the “all internal”
phrase or internal / external partition list, but the object was not a variable, was
not dimensioned by a partition template, or was an already existing target of an
external partition.
Action: Eliminate phrases specific to partitioned variables from the definition
string, or dimension the variable by a partition template.

ORA-37102: (XSVPART02) Invalid partition name string.
Cause: The user gave an invalid partition name. When defining a partitioned
variable, this message indicates that the partition name does not exist in the
partition template. In any other context, it indicates that the partitioned variable or
partition template does not have a partition with the given name.
Action: Supply a valid partition name.

ORA-37103: (XSVPART03) The dimensionality or datatype of workspace object does
not match the dimensionality or datatype of the partition.
Cause: User attempted to define a partitioned variable with an external partition,
but the target of the external partition had incorrect dimensionality or datatype.
Action: Pick a different target variable. The target variable must be dimensioned
by exactly the same dimensions, composites, and partition templates, in the same
order, as are specified in the partition template, and must have the exact same
datatype (including width, precision, and scale) as the partitioned variable itself.

ORA-37104: (XSVPART04) A partitioned variable must be dimensioned by a single
partition template only.
Cause: User attempted to define a partitioned variable with more than one
partition templates, or a partition template and one or more other dimensions, in
the dimension list.
Action: Use only a partition template in the dimension list of the variable. All
dimensions of the variable must be included in the definition of the partition
template.

ORA-37105: (XSVPART05) Only variables dimensioned by a CONCAT PARTITION
TEMPLATE can have string partitions.
Cause: User attempted to create an external partition on a partitioned variable,
but the variable was dimensioned by a RANGE or LIST partition template.
Action: Declare the partition INTERNAL instead of EXTERNAL, or use a
CONCAT partition template in place of the RANGE or LIST partition template.

ORA-37106: (XSVPART06) Invalid partition name number.
Cause: The user gave an invalid partition name.
Action: Supply a valid partition name.

ORA-37107: (XSVPART07) Attempt to write to non-existent partition of workspace
object.
Cause: Some action attempted to write data to a partitioned variable, but the
variable didn”t have a partition for that data. This can result from a partition
template that does not assign all possible dimension values to some subcube, or
from a partitioned variable that does not have a partition for one of the partitions
defined by the partition template.
Action: Make sure that the cell being written is assigned to some partition by the
partition template, and that the variable has an actual partition associated with the
partition of the template. Use the CHGDFN template DEFINE… command to
define new partitions within the template, and the CHGDFN variable ADD…
command to add new partitions to the variable. Alternatively, the
PARTWRITEERR can be set to false, in which case data being written to a
non-existent partition will be silently discarded.

ORA-37108: (XSVPART08) workspace object has an AGGCOUNT, but workspace
object does not.
Cause: An attempt was made to add a partition to a partitioned variable. Either
the partition was defined WITH AGGCOUNT and the partitioned variable was
not, or the partitioned variable was defined WITH AGGCOUNT and the partition
was not.
Action: Use CHGDFN ADD AGGCOUNT or CHGDFN DROP AGGCOUNT to
either add or remove an AGGCOUNT from either the partition or the partitioned
variable.

ORA-37111: Unable to load the OLAP API sharable library: (string)
Cause: This happens if: (1) the OLAP API sharable library is missing. (2) a
sharable library upon which the OLAP API sharable library depends is missing.
(3) the OLAP API sharable library is the wrong version.
Action: Ensure that Oracle is properly installed with the OLAP option. If the
RDBMS has been patched, review the patch log for errors. If the problem persists,
report it to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-37112: OLAP API requires Oracle 9.2 or later
Cause: The version of the OLAP API jar files that you used requires Oracle
version 9.2 or later.
Action: Ensure that the URL with which the JDBC connection was opened is
correct. If the RDBMS instance is running in compatibility mode for a version
older than 9.2, it must be upgraded to at least 9.2.0.0.0 to be used with this version
of the OLAP API.

ORA-37113: OLAP API initialization error: (string)
Cause: OLAP API initialization failed.
Action: Ensure that Oracle is properly installed with the OLAP option. If the
RDBMS has been patched, review the patch log for errors. If the problem persists,
report it to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-37114: OLAP API bootstrap error: (string)

Action: Ensure that Oracle is properly installed with the OLAP option. If the
RDBMS has been patched, review the patch log for errors. If the problem persists,
report it to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-37115: New OLAP API history is not allowed
Cause: If there are active OLAP API sessions, it is not allowed to start a new
OLAP API history by setting _olapi_history_retention parameter to true.
Action: Wait until all active OLAP API sessions terminate before resetting _olapi_
history_retention parameter to true.

ORA-37116: OLAP API table function error: (string)
Cause: OLAP API table function failed.
Action: Ensure that Oracle is properly installed with the OLAP option. If the
RDBMS has been patched, review the patch log for errors. If the problem persists,
report it to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-37117: olapi history retention has been disabled
Cause: Under certain circumstances, for example, when the database is read only,
olapi history retention is not possible because it requires updating persistent tables
from time to time. If olapi history retention has been disabled, setting _olapi_
history_retention parameter to true has no effect.
Action: Ensure that Oracle is properly installed with the OLAP option. If the
RDBMS has been patched, review the patch log for errors. If the problem persists,
report it to Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-37118: The OLAP API library was not preloaded.
Cause: In shared-server mode, the OLAP API library should be loaded during
process initialization to ensure that the C++ virtual table addresses are identical in
all shared-server processes. The OLAP API session was executing in a process in
which the library had not been loaded.
Action: Set option _XSOLAPI_LOAD_AT_PROCESS_START to SHARED_
SERVER or ALWAYS, restart the instance, and try again.

ORA-37119: Incompatible OLAP API library load address
Cause: The OLAP API session was executing in a process in which the OLAP API
sharable library was loaded which was at a different address than the process in
which the OLAP API session originated.
Action: Set option _XSOLAPI_LOAD_AT_PROCESS_START to ALWAYS, restart
the instance, and try again.

ORA-37120: MDX string is null
Cause: MDX parser received a null string for syntax analysis.
Action: Prepare a non-null and well-formed MDX query string and try again.

ORA-37121: AW Spreadsheet invalidated
Cause: While this cursor was open, a command was issued that changed the
underlying data to become inconsistent.
Action: Perform the query again, avoid performing dimension maintenance and
cache clears during spreadsheet processing.

ORA-37122: AW Session cache disabled
Cause: A SQL Spreadsheet was attempted while the AW Session cache was
disabled.
Action: Enable the session cache and perform the query again.

ORA-37126: (XSCCOMP01) The COMPRESSED COMPOSITE workspace object can
only be used as a base of a single variable.
Cause: The user attempted to DEFINE a variable dimensioned by a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE, but that COMPRESSED COMPOSITE is already
being used by another VARIABLE.
Action: Create a second COMPRESSED COMPOSITE for the second VARIABLE
or add a measure dimension to the first variable.

ORA-37127: (XSCCOMP02) The COMPRESSED COMPOSITE workspace object
must be last in the dimension list.
Cause: The user attempted to DEFINE a variable dimensioned by a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE, but gave a slower varying dimension in the
dimension list.
Action: Put the COMPRESSED COMPOSITE last in the dimension list when
defining the VARIABLE.

ORA-37128: (XSCCOMP03) It is not possible to PARTITION over a base of a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The user attempted to use a base of a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE as a
partitioning dimension.
Action: Choose a dense dimension as the partition base.

ORA-37129: (XSCCOMP04) Cannot aggregate over COMPRESSED COMPOSITE
workspace object using AGGMAP workspace object. All static MODEL
statements must precede all RELATION statements over the bases of the
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The AGGMAP was defined with a MODEL statement after a RELATION
statement over a base of the COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Action: Change the AGGMAP so that the MODEL statements appear before the
RELATION statements.

ORA-37130: (XSCCOMP05) Cannot aggregate over COMPRESSED COMPOSITE
workspace object using AGGMAP workspace object because you must specify
AGGINDEX OFF when there is a PRECOMPUTE clause on a RELATION over
base workspace object.
Cause: A PRECOMPUTE clause was specified in the AGGMAP for a RELATION
over a base of a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE, but AGGINDEX was ON
Action: Remove the PRECOMPUTE clause from the AGGMAP, or add
AGGINDEX OFF

ORA-37131: (XSCCOMP06) Cannot aggregate over COMPRESSED COMPOSITE
workspace object using AGGMAP workspace object because the OPERATOR
string is not supported for bases of a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The user specified an aggregation OPERATOR that is not supported by
COMPRESSED COMPOSITES.
Action: Use a MODEL for the calculation, or use an uncompressed COMPOSITE.

ORA-37132: (XSCCOMP07) Incremental aggregation over the dense DIMENSION
workspace object is not supported when aggregating a VARIABLE dimensioned
by a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The status of the specified dimension did not include all detail cells.
Action: Add all detail cells to the status of the dimension and reissue the
AGGREGATE command.

ORA-37133: (XSCCOMP08) You cannot write into an aggregated VARIABLE
dimensioned by a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE. Use the CLEAR
AGGREGATES command to reenable write access.
Cause: The user attempted to store a value into to a variable dimensioned by a
compressed composite, and the variable had previously been precomputed using
the AGGREGATE command. Once the AGGREGATE command is run on a
variable dimensioned by a compressed composite, it becomes read-only until the
computed values are removed with the CLEAR command.
Action: Run the CLEAR AGGREGATES command to remove the computed
values from the variable and then rerun the failed operation. Note that CLEAR
AGGREGATES will remove all the data computed during the last AGGREGATE
command on this variable.

ORA-37134: (XSCCOMP09) You cannot add new values to workspace object because
it includes positions for precomputed aggregate values.
Cause: The user attempted to create a new position in a compressed composite,
either directly (using MAINTAIN MERGE or MAINTAIN ADD) or by storing a
value into the variable dimensioned by the compressed composite. This is not
allowed when the variable has been precomputed using the AGGREGATE
command. Once the AGGREGATE command is run on a variable dimensioned by
a compressed composite, the compressed composite becomes read-only until the
computed values are removed with the CLEAR command.
Action: Run the CLEAR AGGREGATES command to remove the computed
values from the variable and then rerun the failed operation. Note that CLEAR
AGGREGATES will remove all the data computed during the last AGGREGATE
command on this variable.

ORA-37135: (XSCCOMP10) Cannot aggregate over COMPRESSED COMPOSITE
workspace object using AGGMAP workspace object. The RELATION statement
for dense dimension workspace object must precede RELATION statements
over the bases of the COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The user ran AGGREGATE on a variable dimensioned by a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE using an illegal AGGMAP. The AGGMAP contained
a RELATION statement over some base of the COMPRESSED COMPOSITE
followed by a RELATION over some other dimension of the variable.
Action: Change the order of the RELATION statements in the AGGMAP.

ORA-37136: (XSCCOMP11) Cannot ROLLUP dimension workspace object which is
a base of COMPRESSED COMPOSITE workspace object, use AGGREGATE
instead.
Cause: The user ran ROLLUP on a variable dimensioned by a COMPRESSED
COMPOSITE.
Action: Instead of using ROLLUP, generate an aggmap and use AGGREGATE

ORA-37137: (XSCCOMP12) You cannot CHGDFN workspace object because it is a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The user tried to CHGDFN a compressed composite
Action: If the change is desired then delete the old composite and create a new
one.

ORA-37138: (XSCCOMP13) You cannot delete values from workspace object because
it is an aggregated COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Cause: The user tried to MAINTAIN DELETE from an aggregated COMPRESSED
COMPOSITE.
Action: In order to perform this sort of maintenance the composite must first be
cleared. This can be done by running the CLEAR AGGREGATES command on the
variable dimensioning the composite. Note that this will remove all data
computed during the last AGGREGATE command.

ORA-37139: (XSCCOMP14) Cannot AGGREGATE workspace object using
AGGMAP workspace object because you can not AGGREGATE a variable
dimensioned by a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE using an AGGMAP with a
PROTECT clause.
Cause: The user tried to AGGREGATE a variable dimensioned by a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE with an AGGMAP that included a PROTECT clause.
Action: Modify the aggmap or create a new aggmap that does not include a
PROTECT clause and reaggregate.

ORA-37140: (XSCCOMP15) Cannot AGGREGATE partitioned variable workspace
object using AGGMAP workspace object because you cannot use the base of a
COMPRESSED COMPOSITE as a partition dimension.
Cause: The user tried to run aggregate on a partitioned variable with a partition
dimension that is a base of a COMPRESSED COMPOSITE.
Action: Repartition the data, drop the partition dimension from the aggmap, or
don”t use COMPRESSED COMPOSITES.

ORA-37141: (XSSQLMDQ01) Invalid host variable syntax for MDQUERY
procedure.
Cause: The schema and analytic workspace name for the MDQUERY cursor
declaration were incorrectly specified.
Action: Specify the schema and awname as a host variable name preceded by a
colon, or as a text literal string of the form “SCHEMA.AWNAME” or “*.*” (quotes
optional).

ORA-37142: (XSSQLMDQ02) Invalid host variable data type for MDQUERY
procedure: string expected.
Cause: The user specified a host variable that was not of the correct type.
Action: Choose a different host variable.

ORA-37143: (XSSQLMDQ03) string is not a valid analytic workspace name.
Cause: The user specified an analytic workspace name not qualified by a schema
name, or one or both components of the name exceed the maximum length
Action: Specify a schema-qualified analytic workspace name with components no
longer than 30 characters long.

ORA-37144: (MDQUERY01) string is not a valid metadata object type for
MDQUERY.
Cause: The user specified an unrecognized first argument to MDQUERY
Action: Specify a recognized object type (CUBE or DIMENSION)

ORA-37145: (XSTTS_PLAT) Cannot transport analytic workspace across platforms.
Cause: The user attempted to transport a tablespace containing an analytic
workspace from one platform to another.
Action: Use export/import to move an analytic workspace across platforms.

bind_array call again.

ORA-29251: Index1 is greater than Index2 in call to dbms_sql.bind_array
Cause: The value of index1 was greater than the value for index2 in the call to
bind_array. This is illegal since the elements of the table that will be bound are
those with indexes greater than or equal to index1 and less than or equal to
index2.
Action: Correct the value of the two indexes and try the call to again bind_array.

ORA-29252: collection does not contain elements at index locations in call to dbms_
sql.bind_array
Cause: The bound table does not contain elements at both index locations in call
to bind_array of dbms_sql. This is illegal. Both index locations must contain
elements. In other words tab.exists(index1) and tab.exists(index2) must both
return true.

ORA-30371: column cannot define a level in more than one dimension
Cause: A column was used in the definition of a level after it had already been
used to define a level in a different dimension.
Action: Reorganize dimension levels and hierarchies into a single dimension such
that no column is used to define levels in different dimensions. There is no limit on
the number of levels or hierarchies you can place in a dimension. A column can be
used to define any number of levels provided all such levels are in the same
dimension and provided no two levels contain identical sets of columns.

ORA-30372: fine grain access policy conflicts with materialized view
Cause: A fine grain access control procedure has applied a non-null policy to the
query for the materialized view.
Action: In order for the materialized view to work correctly, any fine grain access
control procedure in effect for the query must return a null policy when the
materialized view is being created or refreshed. This may be done by ensuring that
the usernames for the creator, owner, and invoker of refresh procedures for the
materialized view all receive a null policy by the user-written fine grain access
control procedures.

data. More specific information is not available.
Action: Try re-establishing a connection. You may need to restart whatever
program is at the other end of the socket that failed, or you may need to have
some problem on your network fixed.

ORA-30677: session is already connected to a debugger
Cause: An attempt to connect a session to a debugger could not proceed because
the session is already connected to some debugger.
Action: Either use the option to force a connection or first disconnect the session
from its existing debugger.

ORA-30678: too many open connections

by this session. The number of allowed connections varies as some may be in use
through other components which share the same pool of allowed connections.
Action: Retry after closing some other connection. The number of connections
supported is currently not adjustable.

ORA-30679: JDWP-based debugging not supported in this configuration
Cause: An attempt to open a debugging connection failed because this server
configuration cannot support the required asynchronous socket traffic detection.
Action: This feature will not work under this server configuration. Either the
feature is not supported on this platform at all, or is available only through use of
a protocol=tcp dispatcher in shared-server configurations. Please consult the
platform-specific documentation and “readme” material.

ORA-30680: debugger connection handshake failed
Cause: A problem occurred when trying to establish a debugger connection. This
might indicate that the port specified as the location of the debugger is actually
being used by some other type of application.
Action: Correct the host or port specifications if they are incorrect, and verify that
the debugger is properly waiting for a connection.

ORA-30685: package version is not compatible with Oracle version
Cause: The installed version of the package from which this error is raised is not
compatible with this release of Oracle.
Action: Install a compatible version of the package”s spec and body.

ORA-30686: no dispatcher accepted TCP/IP connection request
Cause: A connection had to be routed through a local socket rather than a
dispatcher. When this occurs, shared servers are less beneficial because the session
that owns the socket cannot relinquish the process until the socket is closed. The
most likely cause is that no dispatcher is configured for protocol=tcp.
Action: To improve the scalability of your configuration, configure a dispatcher
for protocol=tcp. To route these particular connections through a particular set of
dispatchers, you can specify presentation=kgas. However, if you haven”t done so,
any protocol=tcp dispatcher will be used.

ORA-30687: session terminated by debugger
Cause: Your program”s execution has been stopped by the debugger. This can
occur because of an explicit request to do so sent by the debugger, or because the
debugger disconnected without first telling Oracle to let your program continue to
run after the disconnection. To stop your program completely, Oracle needs to
fully terminate the process.
Action: This is in response to a debugger request; it is not an error. No action
required.

ORA-30688: maximum program calling depth exceeded
Cause: Your program contains a set of calls that are too deep to be handled. Only
transitions between the different execution engines (SQL, PL/SQL, and Java)
count in reaching this limit; calls within the same engine don”t count.
Action: Restructure your program so as to not call so deeply. Perhaps some
recursion can be replaced with iteration.

ORA-30689: improper value for ORA_DEBUG_JDWP
Cause: An improper value was used for ORA_DEBUG_JDWP when trying to
establish a connection to a debugger. The value either did not conform to the
format of ORA_DEBUG_JDWP or was too long.
Action: Correct the value for ORA_DEBUG_JDWP and try again.

ORA-32766: instr with negative offset: use varchar semantics on LOBs
Cause: The current varchar behavior is different. e.g. instr(“abcd”, “cd”, -2, 1)
returns 3, whereas instr(to_clob(“abcd”), “cd”, -2, 1) returns 0, (i.e. no match),
because the reverse search starts from offset -2, which points to “c” and moving
backward, i.e. “d” is ignored. This is symmetric to instr(“dcba”,”dc”,2,1), which
returns 0.
Action: ORACLE uses the same varchar semantics on LOBs (instr). Using the
same example, instr(to_clob(“abcd”), “cd”, -2, 1) will return 3 as in the varchar case.

Cause: The specified repeat interval contained conflicting clauses that made it
impossible to ever find a matching date, e.g.,
“FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=FEB;BYMONTHDAY=31”. Alternatively, the
scheduler reached its maximum number of attempts to try to find a valid
execution date. This occurs when theoretically there is a valid execution date far in
the future, but the scheduler took too many attempts to determine this date.
15-96 Oracle Database Error Messages

corresponds to the specified ROWID. The ROWID entry may have been
overwritten in the ROWID cache.
15-120 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Enlarge the Heterogeneous Services ROWID cache size by increasing the
value of the Heterogenous Services initialization parameter HS_ROWID_CACHE_
SIZE.

ORA-28505: cannot get non-Oracle system capabilities from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve capability information for the non-Oracle
system connected through a heterogeneous database link. This capability
information should be stored in data dictionary tables viewable with the HS_
CLASS_CAPS or HS_INST_CAPS data dictionary views.
Action: Contact the DBA to check the server data dictionary table named in the
error message. If table contents are incorrect, the DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server.

ORA-28506: parse error in data dictionary translation for string stored in string
Cause: A reference to an ORACLE data dictionary table or view name on a
heterogeneous database link to a non-Oracle system could not be translated. The
ORACLE data dictionary tables shown with view HS_CLASS_DD contain invalid
SQL for the data dictionary translation.
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor.

acceptable values

ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
Cause: Initialization of a database link to a non-Oracle system failed to connect to
the Heterogeneous Services agent process for this non-Oracle system.
Action: Check the Net8 service name definition in the following places: — the
USING clause of the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement — the
TNSNAMES.ORA file — the Oracle Names Server The following are possible
reasons for name mismatches: — The USING clause in the CREATE DATABASE
LINK statement has to match the service name defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file or in the Oracle Names Server. — The protocol-specific information in the
service name definition must match the protocol-specific definition of the
responding listener. — The SID= in the service name definition (in the
TNSNAMES.ORA file or in Oracle Names Server) must match the value in the
LISTENER.ORA file for the responding listener.

ORA-28510: heterogeneous database link initialization failed
Cause: Initialization of a heterogeneous database link to a non-Oracle system
failed due to an error identified by the agent for this non-Oracle system.
Action: Make sure the non-Oracle system is up and running and that all of the
environment and initialization values for the agent are set correctly.

ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=string

between the ORACLE server and the agent — the heterogeneous services remote
agent itself — the connection to the non-Oracle system This error occurred after
communication had been established successfully.
Action: Check for network problems and remote host crashes. The problem is
probably in the agent software. If so, contact a customer support representative of
the agent vendor.

ORA-28512: cannot get data dictionary translations from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve data dictionary translation information
for the non-Oracle system connected through a heterogeneous database link. This
data dictionary translation information should be stored in data dictionary tables
viewable with the HS_CLASS_DD or HS_INST_DD data dictionary views.
Action: Ask your DBA to check the server data dictionary table named in the
error message. If table contents are incorrect, the DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server.

ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
Cause: An internal error has occurred in the Oracle remote agent supporting a
heterogeneous database link.
Action: Make a note of how the error was produced and contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28514: heterogeneous database link initialization could not convert system
date
Cause: The system date was not retrievable.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server”s host machine and operating system are
operational. This error should not occur unless low level system functions are
failing.

ORA-28515: cannot get external object definitions from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve definitions of distributed external
procedures or remote libraries registered for the non-Oracle system instance,
probably because the underlying data dictionary table does not exist or is
malformed.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server”s Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory.

ORA-28518: data dictionary translation has illegal translation type
Cause: A data dictionary translation definition, either in the ORACLE server data
dictionary or in data dictionary content uploaded from a Heterogeneous Services
agent, specified an illegal translation type code. Legal values are “T” or “t” for
15-122 Oracle Database Error Messages
“translate”, “M” or “m” for “mimic”. Information on the exact data dictionary
translation causing the error is written to a trace (*.TRC) file for the ORACLE
instance and to the ORACLE instance”s alert log. This error occurs when a
Heterogeneous Services agent uploads data dictionary content to an ORACLE
server on the first connection from the server to the agent.
Action: Contact the customer support of the agent vendor.

ORA-28519: no heterogeneous data dictionary translations available
Cause: The ORACLE server”s data dictionary did not define data dictionary
translations for the connected non-Oracle system, and automatic self-registration
(data dictionary upload) was disabled.
Action: Ask a DBA to resolve this problem. The easiest solution is to enable
automatic self-registration by setting the ORACLE server”s HS_AUTO_REGISTER
initialization parameter to TRUE. An alternative is to load the Heterogeneous
Services data dictionary with information specific for the non-Oracle system by
executing a SQL script supplied by the agent vendor. If the script is run and the
error persists, contact the customer support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28520: error initializing heterogeneous data dictionary translations
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve data dictionary translations for the
non-Oracle system instance, probably because the underlying data dictionary table
does not exist or is formed incorrectly.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server”s Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory. If the connected agent, identified by FDS_CLASS_NAME, requires a
custom installation script for the ORACLE server, verify that the script has been
run. If both scripts were executed and the error persists, contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28521: no heterogeneous capability information available
Cause: The ORACLE server”s data dictionary did not contain capability
definitions for the connected non-Oracle system, and automatic self-registration
(data dictionary upload) was disabled.
Action: Ask a DBA to resolve this problem. The easiest resolution is to enable
automatic self-registration by setting the ORACLE server”s HS_AUTO_REGISTER
initialization parameter to TRUE. An alternative is to load the Heterogeneous
Services data dictionary with information specific for the non-Oracle system by
executing a SQL script supplied by the agent vendor. If the script is run and the
error persists, contact the customer support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28522: error initializing heterogeneous capabilities
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve capability definitions for the non-Oracle
system instance, probably because the underlying data dictionary table does not
exist or is formed incorrectly.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server”s Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory. If the connected agent, identified by FDS_CLASS_NAME, requires a
custom installation script for the ORACLE server, verify that the script has been
run. If both scripts were executed and the error persists, contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28523: ORACLE and heterogeneous agent are incompatible versions
Cause: An operation on a database link attempted to connect to a non-Oracle
system, but the ORACLE instance and the agent process for the non-Oracle system
are incompatible.
Action: Ask your DBA to confirm configuration of both the ORACLE instance
and the agent. Additional information on the version incompatibility is logged in
trace (*.TRC) files, the ORACLE instance and the agent, and in the ORACLE
instance”s alert log. Check the documentation for your agent to find out which
releases of the Oracle Server are supported.

ORA-28525: unable to create Heterogeneous Services error message text
Cause: Incorrect arguments were passed into the error message creation routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28526: invalid describe information returned to Heterogeneous Services
Cause: The Heterogeneous Services received invalid describe information for a
select list, bind list, or stored procedure from the Heterogeneous Services agent.
This indicates a problem with the Heterogeneous Services” non-Oracle system
agent.
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor.

ORA-28527: Heterogeneous Services datatype mapping error
Cause: Either an Oracle datatype could not be mapped to a non-Oracle datatype,
or a non-Oracle datatype could not be mapped to an Oracle datatype. These
mappings are defined as capability definitions in the ORACLE server”s data
dictionary.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server”s data dictionary has been initialized with
correct capability definitions for the connected FDS_CLASS_NAME and FDS_
INST_NAME. If table contents are incorrect, a DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server. If the error persists contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.

ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error
Cause: Either an Oracle datatype could not be converted to a non-Oracle
datatype, or a non-Oracle datatype could not be converted to an Oracle datatype.
The following are possible reasons for for the conversion failure: — overflow
problems (in the case of numbers) — length limitations (in the case of character
strings) — invalid values passed into the conversion routines
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor. If the problem is due to
size discrepancies between Oracle and the non-Oracle system, it may not be
possible to convert the value.

ORA-28529: invalid or missing parameter in Net8 service name definition
Cause: There was an invalid or missing Heterogeneous Services parameter in the
Net8 service name definition stored in either the TNSNAMES.ORA file or in the
Oracle Names Server.
Action: Ask your DBA to make sure the information in the Net8 service definition
is correct and complete. The correct information that should be included in the
Net8 service definition can be found in the agent”s documentation.

ORA-28530: Heterogeneous Services initialization error in NLS language ID
15-124 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: Heterogeneous Services was unable to initialize an NLS language ID. Both
the ORACLE server and the Heterogeneous Services agent for the connected
non-Oracle system must have language IDs.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28533: Heterogeneous Services coercion handling error
Cause: The Heterogeneous Services encountered an error in coercion handling.
The HS can, if the agent vendor so chooses, perform extra processing on SQL
statements that contain implicit coercions or that contain coercion functions such
as TO_CHAR, TO_NUMBER or TO_DATE. This functionality is controlled by
coercion-related capabilities. HS logic reports this error when it encounters an
error in one of these capability definitions.
Action: The capability table settings are controlled by the agent vendor and can be
modified by the DBA. Contact your DBA and agent vendor and get the correct set
of capabilities installed.

ORA-28534: Heterogeneous Services preprocessing error
Cause: One of the things that the Heterogeneous Services can do is to preprocess
parts of SQL statements that contain implicit coercions or calls to explicit coercion
functions like TO_CHAR TO_NUMBER or TO_DATE. For example, it could
convert a call to TO_DATE to a bind variable, pre-evaluate the TO_DATE function
call and pass the resulting value to the non-Oracle system as the bind value. This
behavior is controlled by some coercion related capabilities. If the capabilities are
set incorrectly, the HS could encounter errors when it attempts to do the
preprocessing. If it does then this error will be signaled.
Action: The capability table settings are controlled by the agent vendor and can be
modified by the DBA. Contact your DBA and agent vendor and get the correct set
of capabilities installed.

ORA-28535: invalid Heterogeneous Services context
Cause: A Heterogeneous Services agent”s driver module called an HS service
routine with an invalid HS context value. This probably is a logic error in the
driver.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support or your agent vendor.

ORA-28536: error in processing Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters
Cause: An error described by a subsequent error message prevented successful
processing of Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters from the ORACLE
server data dictionary.
Action: Check server data dictionary views HS_CLASS_INIT, HS_INST_INIT, and
HS_ALL_INITS. Look for conditions which could produce the error identified in
the error message immediately following this one.

ORA-28537: no more result sets
Cause: This error code is used internally within Oracle Transparent Gateway and
Heterogeneous Services code and should not be reported to a client program.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28538: result set not found
Cause: The client program tried fetching from a result set that is not open
anymore. Many gateways will, on execution of a stored procedure, automatically
close all result sets that were returned by any previously executed stored
procedure.

Action: Check the documentation for the gateway that you are using and see if it
will automatically close currently open result sets each time a stored procedure is
executed. Then check if your client program is doing anything that violates this
rule. If it is, fix your program. If it is not then contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28539: gateway does not support result sets
Cause: The client program tried executing a stored procedure that returns one or
more result sets through a gateway that does not have result set support.
Action: Check the documentation for the gateway that you are using and see if it
supports result sets returned from stored procedures. If it does not, then the only
way of accessing such stored procedures is to upgrade to a version of the gateway
that does support result sets (if such a version exists). If the gateway does have
result set support and you are still seeing this error then contact Oracle customer
support.

ORA-28540: internal result set error
Cause: A protocol error internal to Heterogeneous Services or Transparent
Gateway code has occurred.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28541: Error in HS init file on line number.
Cause: A syntax error occurred in the gateway initialization file.
Action: Check gateway init file to correct the syntax error. For further
information, check the error message in the gateway trace file.

ORA-28542: Error in reading HS init file
Cause: Reading the gateway init file generated an error.
Action: Check the gateway initialization file name to see that the gateway
initialization file acctually exists. Check the ifile parameter to see that it points to
the correct location.

ORA-28543: Error initializing apply connection to non-Oracle system
Cause: Attempt to initialize connection to non-Oracle for heterogeneous
replication failed.
Action: Check if the listener used to connect to the gateway is up and is correctly
configured. Make sure that the database link used has been configured correctly
and, if a tnsnames alias has been used in the database link definition, make sure
that the configuration of the entry in tnsnames.ora has been done correctly.

ORA-28544: connect to agent failed, probable Net8 administration error
Cause: Net8 reported a failure to make a RSLV connection or a protocol mode
error when the Oracle server attempted to establish communication with a
Heterogeneous Services agent or an external procedure agent. This usually is due
to an administration error in setting up Net8 service definitions in
TNSNAMES.ORA or LISTENER.ORA: A basic network connection is opened, but
it connects to a program which does not use the appropriate protocol. This often is
a sign that the connection goes to the wrong program.
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: — When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct service name or SID. — Check
LISTENER.ORA on the agent”s host machine to assure that the service name or
SID refers to the correct agent executable in its (PROGRAM=…) clause. — Confirm
in TNSNAMES.ORA or the equivalent service definition that sevice “extproc_
15-126 Oracle Database Error Messages
connection_data” does NOT contain (HS=), or that the service definition used by a
Heterogeneous Services database link DOES contain (HS=).

ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
Cause: An attempt to call an external procedure or to issue SQL to a non-Oracle
system on a Heterogeneous Services database link failed at connection
initialization. The error diagnosed by Net8 NCR software is reported separately.
Action: Refer to the Net8 NCRO error message. If this isn”t clear, check
connection administrative setup in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora for the service
associated with the Heterogeneous Services database link being used, or with
“extproc_connection_data” for an external procedure call.

ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
Cause: A failure occurred during initialization of a network connection from the
Oracle server to a second process: The connection was completed but a disconnect
occurred while trying to perform protocol-specific initialization, usually due to use
of different network protocols by opposite sides of the connection. This usually is
caused by incorrect Net8 administrative setup for database links or external
procedure calls. The most frequent specific causes are: — Database link setup for an
Oracle-to-Oracle connection instead connects to a Heterogeneous Services agent or
an external procedure agent. — Database link setup for a Heterogeneous Services
connection instead connects directly to an Oracle server. — The extproc_
connection_data definition in tnsnames.ora connects to an Oracle instance instead
of an external procedure agent. — Connect data for a Heterogeneous Services
database link, usually defined in tnsnames.ora, does not specify (HS=). — Connect
data for an Oracle-to-Oracle database link, usually defined in tnsnames.ora,
specifies (HS=).
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: — When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct service name or SID. — Check
LISTENER.ORA on the connection end point”s host machine to assure that this
service name or SID connects to the correct program. — Confirm in
TNSNAMES.ORA or the equivalent service definition that service “extproc_
connection_data” does NOT contain (HS=), or that the service definition used by a
Heterogeneous Services database link DOES contain (HS=).

ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
Cause: A failure occurred during initialization of a network connection from a
client process to the Oracle server: The connection was completed but a disconnect
occurred while trying to perform protocol-specific initialization, usually due to use
of different network protocols by opposite sides of the connection. This usually is
caused by incorrect Oracle Net administrative setup for database links or external
procedure calls. The most frequent specific causes are: — The connection uses a
connect string which refers to a Heterogeneous Services agent instead of an Oracle
server. — The connection uses a connect string which includes an (HS=)
specification.
Action: Check Oracle Net administration in the following ways: — When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the client connection
to the ORACLE server uses the correct service name or SID. — Check
LISTENER.ORA on the connection end point”s host machine to assure that this
service name or SID refers to the correct server. — Confirm in TNSNAMES.ORA or
the equivalent service definition that the connect string does NOT contain (HS=).

ORA-28550: pass-through SQL: cursor not found
Cause: A value passed to a pass-through SQL function or procedure call as a
cursor does not identify a currently open cursor.
Action: Use a cursor number returned by the pass-through SQL OPEN_CURSOR
call.

ORA-28551: pass-through SQL: SQL parse error
Cause: A non-Oracle system rejected text supplied as a pass-through SQL
statement.
Action: Ensure that the SQL supplied to the pass-through SQL PARSE call is legal
for the non-Oracle system.

ORA-28552: pass-through SQL: call flow error
Cause: A pass-through SQL function was called in an invalid order.
Action: Correct program flow by changing the order of API calls to match the
flow described in the manual.

ORA-28553: pass-through SQL: invalid bind-variable position
Cause: A pass-through SQL function referring to the position of a bind variable in
the currently-parsed SQL statement supplied an invalid bind-variable position.
Valid values are 1 through n, where n is the number of bind-variable place-holders
in the SQL text.
Action: Verify that the bind-variable position parameter is in the correct range to
represent a place-holder in the SQL text. Confirm that the SQL text uses the correct
syntax for a bind-variable place-holder, as required by the non-Oracle system.

ORA-28554: pass-through SQL: out of cursors
Cause: The maximum number of open cursors has been exceeded.
Action: Close open cursors by using the pass-through SQL CLOSE_CURSOR
function.

ORA-28555: pass-through SQL: required parameter missing or NULL
Cause: An attempt was made to pass a NULL value to a non-NULL parameter.
Action: Use a non-NULL value for the parameter.

ORA-28556: authorization insufficient to access table
Cause: A query attempted to access a table in the non-Oracle system that is either
privileged or has privileged columns.
Action: Contact the DBA for the non-Oracle system. The DBA can grant
permission to access the privileged table or columns.

ORA-28557: unknown string for database link to non-Oracle system
Cause: When attempting to connect to a non-Oracle system through a
Heterogeneous Services database link, the agent supporting this non-Oracle
system failed to return FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. ORACLE
requires these names to configure the heterogeneous database link.
Action: Contact the DBA to check setup of the connection and the Heterogeneous
Services agent.

ORA-28558: HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING undefined for non-Oracle system
Cause: A database link to a non-Oracle system had no HS_FDS_CONNECT_
STRING initialization parameter in the ORACLE server”s data dictionary for
Heterogeneous Services. Without this parameter, the connection could not be
completed.
15-128 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Contact your DBA to verify correct setup of an HS_FDS_CONNECT_
STRING entry in the ORACLE Heterogeneous Services data dictionary.

ORA-28559: FDS_CLASS_NAME is string, FDS_INST_NAME is string
Cause: An associated error was reported in another message, and this message
supplies supplementary information to assist diagnosis of that error. FDS_CLASS_
NAME and FDS_INST_NAME are used to access information in tables and views
of the ORACLE data dictionary that direct operation of Heterogeneous Services on
a database link to a non-Oracle data store.
Action: Use the FDS_CLASS_NAME and FDS_INST_NAME values to check
ORACLE data dictionary contents when necessary to diagnose the cause of the
associated error.

ORA-28560: error in configuration of agent process
Cause: An ORACLE server invoked a function not supported by the connected
agent (Heterogeneous Services or external procedures). The most probable cause is
incorrect Net8 setup, resulting in use of the wrong agent executable.
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: — When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct SID. — Check LISTENER.ORA on the agent”s
host machine to assure that this SID refers to the correct agent executable in its
(PROGRAM=…) clause.

ORA-28561: unable to set date format on non-Oracle system
Cause: Initialization of a Heterogeneous Services connection to set the date format
to be used on the connected non-Oracle system.
Action: If the Oracle data dictionary supplies a value for the HS_NLS_DATE_
FORMAT parameter, confirm that this value is formatted correctly by the rules of
the non-Oracle system. Also check for additional information in log and trace files
generated by the Heterogeneous Services agent.

ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
Cause: Initialization of a network connection to the extproc agent did not succeed.
This problem can be caused by network problems, incorrect listener configuration,
or incorrect transfer code.
Action: Check listener configuration in LISTENER.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA,
or check Oracle Names Server.

ORA-28576: lost RPC connection to external procedure agent
Cause: of this error is abnormal termination of the invoked “C” routine. If this is
not the case, check for network problems. Correct the problem if you find it. If all
components appear to be normal but the problem persists, the problem could be
an internal logic error in the RPC transfer code. Contact your customer support
representative.
Action: First check the 3GL code you are invoking; the most likely

ORA-28577: argument string of external procedure string has unsupported datatype
string
Cause: While transferring external procedure arguments to the agent, an
unsupported datatype was detected.
Action: Check your documentation for the supported datatypes of external
procedure arguments.

ORA-28578: protocol error during callback from an external procedure
Cause: An internal protocol error occurred while trying to execute a callback to
the Oracle server from the user”s 3GL routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28579: network error during callback from external procedure agent
Cause: An internal network error occurred while trying to execute a callback to
the Oracle server from the user”s 3GL routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28580: recursive external procedures are not supported
Cause: A callback from within a user”s 3GL routine resulted in the invocation of
another external procedure.
Action: Make sure that the SQL code executed in a callback does not directly call
another external procedure, or indirectly results in another external procedure,
such as triggers calling external procedures, PL/SQL procedures calling external
procedures, etc.

ORA-28581: protocol error while executing recursive external procedure
Cause: An internal protocol error occurred while trying to execute an external
procedure resulting from a callback in another external procedure.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.

ORA-28582: a direct connection to this agent is not allowed
Cause: A user or a tool tried to establish a direct connection to either an external
procedure agent or a Heterogeneous Services agent, for example: “SVRMGR>
CONNECT SCOTT/TIGER@NETWORK_ALIAS”. This type of connection is not
allowed.
Action: When executing the CONNECT statement, make sure your database link
or network alias is not pointing to a Heterogeneous Option agent or an external
procedure agent.

ORA-28583: remote references are not permitted during agent callbacks
Cause: A Heterogeous Services agent issued a callback to the Oracle server which
attemted to to access a remote system. This is not supported.
Action: Make sure that SQL code issued by Heterogeneous Services agents does
not reference a database link.

ORA-28584: heterogeneous apply internal error
Cause: The apply slave process encountered an error while trying to apply
changes through a gateway to a non-Oracle system.
Action: Make sure that the apply database link is correctly configured and that
the gateway listener and the non-Oracle system are correctly set up and are up and
running. If everything is configured correctly and the problem still occurs, contact
Oracle customer support. errors 28590 – 28599 are reserved for the HS agent
control utility

be because it could not find its admin directory or because permissions on
directory were not correctly set.
Action: The agent control utility puts its parameter file in either the directory
pointed to by the environment variable AGTCTL_ADMIN or in the directory
pointed to by the environment variable TNS_ADMIN. Make sure that at least one
of these environment variables is set and that it points to a directory that the agent
has access to.

ORA-28592: agent control utility: agent SID not set
Cause: The agent needs to know the value of the AGENT_SID parameter before it
can process any commands. If it does not have a value for AGENT_SID then all
commands will fail.
Action: Issue the command SET AGENT_SID and then retry the
command that failed.

ORA-28593: agent control utility: command terminated with error
Cause: An error occurred during the processing of the command. There could be
several causes. A SET or an UNSET command could have been issued after the
agent was started. This is illegal. The user may have attempted to start two agents
with the same SID value or the user could have attempted to shutdown an agent
that is no longer running.
Action: If the user wishes to issue a SET or an UNSET command, he should make
sure the agent is shutdown first by issuing the SHUTDOWN command.

Cause: An invalid type of device limit was specified in a call to x$dbms_backup_
restore.setlimit.
Action: Use one of the documented limits: KBYTES, READRATE, or PARALLEL.

ORA-19561: %s requires a DISK channel
Cause: The attempted command requires that a DISK device channel be allocated
to the session, but a non-DISK device was found.
Action: Deallocate the current device and allocate a DISK channel, then then retry
the command.

ORA-19562: file string is empty
Cause: The indicated file, which is an archivelog, control file, or datafile was
found to be empty during a copy, backup, or scan] operation.
Action: Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup
operation.

ORA-19563: %s header validation failed for file string
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 (data file, archived
log, or control file) belonging to the current database.
Action: Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup
operation.

ORA-19564: error occurred writing string bytes at block number string
Cause: An error occurred while writing to a file.
Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the
cause of the error. Correct the error if possible, then retry the copy, backup, or
restore operation.

ORA-19565: BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES not enabled when duplexing to
sequential devices
Cause: An attempt was made to specify duplexing to sequential devices, but the
BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES initialization parameter was not enabled.
Action: Specify BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES=TRUE in the INIT.ORA file, or do
not specify duplexing to sequential devices.

ORA-19566: exceeded limit of string corrupt blocks for file string
Cause: The user specified limit of allowable corrupt blocks was exceeded while
reading the specified datafile for a datafile copy or backup.
Action: None. The copy or backup operation fails. The session trace file contains
detailed information about which blocks were corrupt.

ORA-19567: cannot shrink file string because it is being backed up or copied
Cause: An ALTER statement attempted to reduce the size of the indicated file
while the same file is being backed up or copied.
Action: Retry the resize after the backup or copy is complete.

ORA-19568: a device is already allocated to this session
Cause: A device cannot be allocated to a session if another device is already
allocated.
Action: Deallocate the current device

ORA-19569: no device is allocated to this session
Cause: An operation was attempted which requires a device to be allocated to the
current session, and there is no device allocated.
Action: Allocate a device then retry the operation.

ORA-19570: file number string is outside valid range of 1 through string
Cause: A file number used in a copy, backup, or restore operation is not valid for
the current database.
Action: Specify a valid file number.

ORA-19571: %s recid string stamp string not found in control file
Cause: The input file specified for a copy or backup operation could not be
opened because the record describing the file is not found in the control file.
Action: Specify a correct recid/stamp and retry the copy or backup.

ORA-19572: cannot process file string, file is being being resized
Cause: The input file specified for a copy or backup operation could not be
opened because the file is being resized.
Action: Wait for the resize to complete then retry the copy or backup.

ORA-19573: cannot obtain string enqueue for datafile string
Cause: The file access enqueue could not be obtained for a file specified in a
backup, copy or restore operation. If the enqueue type shown is “shared”, then the
file is the input file for a backup or copy. If the type is “exclusive”, then the file is
the output file for a datafile copy or restore which is attempting to overwrite the
currently active version of that file – in this case, the file must be offline or the
database must be closed. If the type is “read-only”, then you are attempting to back
up or copy this file while the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
Action: Wait until the conflicting operation is complete, then retry the copy or
backup. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, then all files being backed
up must be closed cleanly.

ORA-19574: output filename must be specified
Cause: This type of copy or restore requires an output file name.
Action: Specify an output filename and retry the copy.

ORA-19575: expected string blocks in file string, found string
Cause: During a backup, restore, copy, or scan operation, the indicated file did not
contain as many blocks as were indicated in the file header.
Action: The input copy or backup piece is probably corrupt. If another backup or
copy exists of the file that is being restored, then the corrupt file can be deleted
from the recovery catalog and the operation can be restarted.
14-6 Oracle Database Error Messages

ORA-19576: datafile string not defined in control file
Cause: The specified file number was not found in the control file.
Action: Specify a correct file number and retry the operation.

ORA-19577: file string is MISSING
Cause: A copyDataFileCopy, restoreDataFileTo or proxyRestoreDataFile function
specified a file number but no output file name, indicating that the output
filename 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 filename or issue a SQL RENAME command to
enter a valid name for this file in the control file.

ORA-19578: 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: archivelog record for string not found
Cause: No archived log record corresponding to input file could be found in the
control file.
Action: Specify a valid archivelog file name and retry the operation.

ORA-19580: %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: 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: archivelog file header validation for string failed
Cause: Archived log file header is corrupt and could not be validated.
Action: Provide a valid archivelog file and retry the operation.

ORA-19583: 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: file string 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: premature end of volume on piece string
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: %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: error occurred reading string bytes at block number string
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: %s recid string stamp string 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: %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: 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: 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: wrong string 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: datafile number string already included as string
14-8 Oracle Database Error Messages
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: control file already included as string
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: archivelog string already included in backup conversation
Cause: The indicated archivelog 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: 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: file string blocksize string does not match set blocksize of string
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: 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: block number string is corrupt in string string
Cause: A corrupt block was found in a control file, archivelog, or backup piece
that is being read for a backup or copy. Corruption shall not be tolerated in control
files, archivelogs, 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: input file is string string (string)
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: output file is string string (string)
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: 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: 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 .. UNRECOVEARABLE option.
Action: Take the tablespace offline cleanly, or close the database and retry the
copy or backup.

ORA-19604: 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: input filename 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: 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: %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.
14-10 Oracle Database Error Messages

ORA-19608: %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: %s is from different backup set: stamp string count string
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: directory block string 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: backup piece out of order. Expected string but found string
Cause: This backup piece is out of sequence.
Action: Supply the correct backup piece.

ORA-19612: datafile string not restored due to string
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: datafile string 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: archivelog thread string sequence string not found in backup set
Cause: The indicated archived log file was named explicitely 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: 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 unfound file.
Action: See the instructions for message 19613.

ORA-19616: output filename must be specified if database not mounted
Cause: A datafile restore specified no target filename, but the database is not
mounted. The database must be mounted when no target filename is specified, so
that the target filename can be obtained from the control file.
Action: The restore conversation remains active. If you wish to restore datafiles
without their target filenames, then mount the datbase before continuing.
Otherwise, a target filename must be specified on all datafile restoration calls.

ORA-19617: file string 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: 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: 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: %s is not of string 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 (data file, 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: archivelog 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: archivelog thread string sequence string not restored due to string
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: file string 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.
14-12 Oracle Database Error Messages

ORA-19624: 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: error identifying file string
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: backup set type is string – 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: 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: invalid SCN range
Cause: The starting SCN for restoreRedoLogRange is greater than the ending
SCN.
Action: Specify a starting SCN which is less than or equal to the ending SCN.

ORA-19629: no files in specified archivelog 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: end of volume encountered while copying backup piece
Cause: While copying a backup piece from the OS native filesystem 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: archivelog record contains no file name
Cause: This archivelog 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 archivelog record that contains a file name. Fixed
view v$archived_log can be used to examine the archived logs.

ORA-19632: file name not found in control file
Cause: The name passed to getFno was not found in the control file.
Action: Supply a valid filename.

ORA-19633: control file record string 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: filename 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: input and output filenames are identical: string
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: archivelog thread string sequence string already included
Cause: The indicated archivelog has already been specified for inclusion in this
restore conversation. A restore conversation may process only one copy of any
archivelog.
Action: No action required – the conversation is still active, and more files can be
specified.

ORA-19637: 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 filename and retry the operation.

ORA-19638: file string 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: file string 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: datafile checkpoint is SCN string time string
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: backup datafile checkpoint is SCN string time string
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: start SCN of incremental backup is string
14-14 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: This message identifies the starting SCN of an incremental backup that
could not be applied.
Action: See other error message.

ORA-19643: datafile string: 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: datafile string: incremental-start SCN is prior to resetlogs SCN string
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: datafile string: incremental-start SCN is prior to creation SCN string
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: cannot change size of datafile string from string to string
Cause: The indicated file was resized before this incremental backup was taken,
but the incremental backup failed to set the file to the new size.
Action: Examine the other messages which should be present to indicate the
cause of the failure.

ORA-19647: 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: datafile string: 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: offline-range record recid string stamp string not found in file string
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: Offline-range record recid string stamp string in file string has SCN
string
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: cannot apply offline-range record to datafile string: 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: cannot apply offline-range record to datafile string: file is fuzzy
Cause: The target datafile for an applyOfflineRange call is fuzzy.
Action: Specify a target datafile that is closed cleanly.

ORA-19653: 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: 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: 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: cannot backup, copy, or delete online log string
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: cannot inspect current datafile string
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: cannot inspect string – file is from different resetlogs
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: incremental restore would advance file string 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.
14-16 Oracle Database Error Messages
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

Action: Shutdown and startup with a higher compatibility setting.

ORA-19734: 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: 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
14-24 Oracle Database Error Messages

when recovery is ended before any logs from the desired incarnation have been
applied.
Action: Continue recovery.

ORA-19902: incarnation key string not found
Cause: The specified incarnation was not found in the control file.
Action: Resubmit request with known incarnation key. To see which incarnations
are available for this target database, query V$DATABASE_INCARNATION or
use RMAN”s LIST INCARNATION command.

ORA-19903: test recovery not allowed when recovering to new incarnation
Cause: Either a new incarnation was set using RMAN”s RESET DATABASE
command for a control file that was CURRENT, or the control file is from a prior
incarnation. As recovery to a new incarnation requires changing the control file,
test recovery is not allowed.
Action: Perform actual recovery or RESET DATABASE to incarnation that was
last opened using the control file to do test recovery.

ORA-19904: test recovery not allowed for datafile string
Cause: The specified datafile has been restored from a backup that was taken
before the last resetlogs. Recovering this datafile will require a file header update
that is incompatible with test recovery.
Action: Perform actual recovery.

ORA-19905: log_archive_format must contain %%s, %%t and %%r
Cause: log_archive_format is missing a mandatory format element. Starting with

%s(sequence), %t(thread), and %r(resetlogs id) to ensure that all archived log file
names are unique.
Action: Add the missing format elements to log_archive_format.

ORA-19906: 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
command. To see which incarnations are available for this target
database, query V$DATABASE_INCARNATION or use RMAN”s LIST
INCARNATION command.

ORA-19907: recovery time or SCN does not belong to recovered incarnation
Cause: A point-in-time recovery to an SCN or timestamp prior to the last resetlogs
was requested.
Action: Either change the specified recovery time/scn, or change the recovery
destination using RMAN”s RESET DATABASE command.

ORA-19908: datafile string has invalid checkpoint
Cause: The specified datafile has an invalid checkpoint.
Action: Restore the datafile from a backup.

ORA-19909: datafile string belongs to an orphan incarnation
Cause: Either the specified datafile was restored from a backup that was 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: 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: datafile string contains future changes at the incarnation boundary
14-32 Oracle Database Error Messages
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: cannot recover to target incarnation string
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: unable to decrypt backup
Cause: A backup piece could not be decrypted. This message is accompanied
with another message that indicates the name of the encrypted backup that could
not be restored. The reason could be either that an invalid password was entered,
or that, when using transparent decryption, the database external security device
is not open.
Action: If password-based restore was enabled for this backup, 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: 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: unable to encrypt pre-10.2 files
Cause: An RMAN encrypted backup was requested, but this backup includes one
or more archived logs that were generated by an older release of Oracle. These
archived logs cannot be encrypted.

ORA-22275: invalid LOB locator specified
Cause: There are several causes: (1) the LOB locator was never 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

ORA-22276: 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: 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: 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: cannot perform operation with LOB buffering enabled
Cause: The operation attempted is not allowed when LOB buffering is enabled.
Action: If the operation is required, LOB buffering should not be used. In this
case, flush buffers associated with the input LOB locator as necessary, disable
buffering on the input LOB locator and reissue the command.

ORA-22280: 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: 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: 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.
Action: Specify an input offset value which is exactly one character or byte greater
than the length of the LOB that you are attempting to update through a buffered
write operation.

ORA-22283: filename contains characters that refer to parent directory
Cause: Filename contains a path “../” which references a parent directory
Action: Ensure that the filename does not contain characters which reference a

Cause: Attempted to access a directory that does not exist, or attempted to access
a file in a directory that does not exist.
Action: Ensure that a system object corresponding to the specified directory exists
in the database dictionary, or make sure the name is correct.

ORA-22286: insufficient privileges on file or directory to perform string operation
Cause: The user does not have the necessary access privileges on the directory
alias and/or the file for the operation.
Action: Ask the database/system administrator to grant the required privileges
on the directory alias and/or the file.

ORA-22287: invalid or modified directory occurred during string operation
Cause: The directory alias used for the current operation is not valid if being
accessed for the first time, or has been modified by the DBA since the last access.
Action: If you are accessing this directory for the first time, provide a valid
directory name. If you have been already successful in opening a file under this
directory before this error occured, then close the file and retry the operation with
a valid directory alias as modified by your DBA. Oracle recommends that
directories should be modified only during quiescent periods.

ORA-22288: file or LOB operation string failed string
Cause: The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.
Action: See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that the necessary
privileges are set for the specified operation. If the error still persists, report the
error to the DBA.

ORA-22289: cannot perform string operation on an unopened file or LOB
Cause: The file or LOB is not open for the required operation to be performed.
Action: Precede the current operation with a successful open operation on the file
or LOB.

14-44 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Start a transaction before opening the LOB in read-write mode. Ways to
start a transaction include issuing a SQL DML or SELECT FOR UPDATE
command. Opening hte LOB in read-only mode does not require a transaction.

ORA-22293: LOB already opened in the same transaction
Cause: An attempt was made to open a LOB that already is open in this
transaction.
Action: Close the LOB before attempting to re-open it.

ORA-22294: cannot update a LOB opened in read-only mode
Cause: An attempt was made to write to or update a LOB opened in read-only

LOB and LONG columns in the same insert or update statement. You can bind
more than 4000 bytes of data to either a LONG column or one or more LOB
columns but not both.
Action: Bind more than 4000 bytes of data to either the LONG column or one or
more LOB columns but not both.

ORA-22296: invalid ALTER TABLE option for conversion of LONG datatype to LOB
Cause: An attempt was made to specify ALTER TABLE options which are
disallowed during conversion of LONG datatype to LOB. The only ALTER TABLE
options allowed during conversion of LONG datatype to LOB are the default
clause and LOB storage clause for the column being converted to LOB.
Action: Remove the disallowed options.

ORA-22297: warning: Open LOBs exist at transaction commit time
Cause: An attempt was made to commit a transaction with open LOBs at
transaction commit time.

statement is not the highest partition of the index.

ORA-14079: illegal option for a partition marked Index Unusable
Cause: ALTER INDEX MODIFY PARTITION statement against an index partition
marked Index Unusable contained STORAGE and/or DEALLOCATE SPACE
clauses which is illegal
Action: Ensure that only valid optins are specified

ORA-14080: partition cannot be split along the specified high bound
Cause: User attempted to split a partition along a bound which either collates
higher than that of the partition to be split or lower than that of a partition
immediately preceding the one to be split
Action: Ensure that the bound along which a partition is to be split collates lower
than that of the partition to be split and higher that that of a partition immediately
preceding the one to be split

ORA-14081: new partition name must differ from the old partition name
Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying
which is identical to the name of the partition being
renamed
Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any
(including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index

ORA-14082: new partition name must differ from that of any other partition of the
object
Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying
which is identical to the name of some existing partition of
the object
Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any
(including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index

ORA-14083: cannot drop the only partition of a partitioned table
Cause: A drop partition command is being executed when there is only one
partition in the table
Action: Ensure that there is at least one partition. Drop table to remove all
partitions

ORA-14084: you may specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT only for a LOCAL index
Cause: User attempted to specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT for an object other
than a LOCAL index, which is illegal.
Action: Reenter the statement without TABLESPACE DEFAULT clause.

ORA-14085: partitioned table cannot have column with LONG datatype
13-78 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: User tried to create a partitioned table with a LONG datatype or tried to
add a LONG datatype column to a partitioned table.
Action: LONG data types are not supported with partitioned tables. Create table
without LONG column or change table to not partitioned. If adding column, do
not use LONG datatype. If modifying attributes of a column to change data type
to LONG, it has to be a non partitioned table.

Action: Ensure that no options besides INCLDING INDEX or EXCLUDING
INDEX are specified with ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

ORA-14095: ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE requires a non-partitioned, non-clustered
table
Cause: The table in the EXCHANGE operation is either clustered or partitioned
Action: Ensure that the table with which the partition is being exchanged for is
not partitioned or clustered.

ORA-14096: tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION must have the same
number of columns
Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have different number of
columns
Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the
same type and size.

ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION
Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE
EXCHANGE PARTITION are of different type or size
Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the
same type and size.

ORA-14098: index mismatch for tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have indexes which are not
equivalent
Action: Ensure that the indexes for the two tables have indexes which follow this
rule For every non partitioned index for the non partitioned table, there has to be
an identical LOCAL index on the partitioned table and vice versa. By identical, the
column position, type and size have to be the same.

ORA-14099: all rows in table do not qualify for specified partition
Cause: There is at least one row in the non partitioned table which does not
qualify for the partition specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Action: Ensure that all the rows in the segment qualify for the partition. Perform
the alter table operation with the NO CHECKING option. Run ANALYZE table

more than once, or both LOGGING and NOLOGGING were specified.
Action: Remove all but one of the LOGGING or NOLOGGING clauses and
reissue the statement.

ORA-14103: LOGGING/NOLOGGING may not be combined with
RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE
Cause: A statement contained both [NO]LOGGING and [UN]RECOVERABLE
clauses which is disallowed.
Action: Remove one of the offending clauses. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being
deprecated in V8 and will be obsoleted in V9. To duplicate semantics of
UNRECOVERABLE clause, create an object with NOLOGGING option and then
ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause,
create an object with LOGGING option.

ORA-14104: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified for
partitioned tables/indices
Cause: CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement used to create a partitioned
table/index contained RECOVERABLE or UNRECOVERABLE clause which is
illegal
Action: Remove offending clause. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8

ORA-14107: partition specification is required for a partitioned object
Cause: parameter which supplies partition name is missing. This parameter is
optional for non-partitioned objects, but is required for partitioned objects.
Action: supply missing parameter

ORA-14108: illegal partition-extended table name syntax
Cause: Partition to be accessed may only be specified using its name. User
attempted to use a partition number or a bind variable.
Action: Modify statement to refer to a partition using its name

ORA-14109: partition-extended object names may only be used with tables
Cause: User attempted to use a partition-extended object name with an object
which is not a table.
Action: Avoid using partition-extended name syntax with objects which are not
tables

ORA-14110: partitioning column may not be of type ROWID
Cause: Partitioning column specified by the user was of type ROWID, which is
illegal.
Action: Ensure that no partitioning column is of type ROWID.

ORA-14111: creation of a GLOBAL partitioned index on clustered tables is not
supported
Cause: An attempt was made to create a GLOBAL partitioned index on a
clustered table which is currently illegal.
Action: Remove PARTITION BY RANGE/HASH clause along with any partition
descriptions to create a GLOBAL non-partitioned index on a clustered table

ORA-14112: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified for a
partition or subpartition
Cause: Description of a partition or subpartition found in CREATE
TABLE/INDEX statement contained RECOVERABLE or UNRECOVERABLE
clause which is illegal
Action: Remove offending clause. Use LOGGING or NOLOGGING instead.

ORA-14113: 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: 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: partition bound of partition number string 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: partition bound of partition “string” 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: 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: 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 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 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-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.

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”
Cause: There was a collision in the group name used for the diskgroup. The
diskgroup(s) cannot be mounted using colliding names.
Action: Use a different diskgroup name and also report to Oracle Support
Services the two diskgroup names which collided.

ORA-15066: offlining disk “string” may result in a data loss
Cause: Following I/O failures, the disks holding all copies of a data block were
attempted to be taken offline.

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.
Action: Make sure the diskgroup is mounted and the file is open.

ORA-15080: synchronous I/O operation to a disk failed
Cause: A synchronous I/O operation invoked on a disk has failed.
Action: Make sure that all the disks are operational.

Action: Make sure that all the disks are operational.

ORA-15082: ASM failed to communicate with database instance
Cause: There was a failure when ASM tried to communicate with a database
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 the ASM instances may return this error when a
database instance is terminated abnormally.

ORA-15083: failed to communicate with ASMB background process
Cause: A database instance failed to communicate with its ASMB background
process when attempting to access an ASM file.
Action: Check the alert log for more information on the reason for the failure.

ORA-15090: handle string is not a valid descriptor
Cause: The file handle was not valid in this session.
Action: Submit a handle obtained from a successful call to DBMS_
DISKGROUP.OPEN().

ORA-15091: operation incompatible with open handle in this session
Cause: The current session contained an open handle from the DBMS_
DISKGROUP PL/SQL package which precluded performing the command.

Cause: An ASM file creation or file resize operation exceeded the maximum file
size permitted by ASM.
Action: Use smaller files.

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-15100: invalid or missing diskgroup name
13-120 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The command did not specify a valid diskgroup name.
Action: Specify a valid diskgroup name.

numeric characters.
Action: Correct the file name specification.

ORA-15124: ASM file name “string” contains an invalid alias name
Cause: A file name was specified which did not contain a valid ASM alias name.
The ASM alias name, if present, follows immediately after the diskgroup name, in
place of the ASM file number. It must be preceeded by a slash, start with an
alphabetic character, and consist of up to 48 characters which are alphabetic,
numeric, or the characters “$”, “_”, “-“, or “#”. A space can separate two parts of an
alias name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.

ORA-15125: ASM file name “string” contains an invalid template name
Cause: A file name was specified to ASM which did not contain a valid template
name. The template name, if present, follows immediately after the ASM
incarnation number or the ASM alias name, if such is used in place of the ASM file
number. It must be enclosed in parenthesis, start with an alphabetic character, and
consist of up to 30 characters which are alphabetic, numeric, or the characters “$”
and “_”.
Action: Correct the file name specification.

ORA-15126: component within ASM file name “string” exceeds maximum length
Cause: The maximum identifier length of 30 characters was exceeded for the
diskgroup name, template name, or alias name field within the ASM file name.

ORA-15128: ASM file name “string” exceeds maximum length string
Cause: The maximum ASM file name length of 256 characters was exceeded for
the combination of diskgroup name, file number, template name, alias name plus
punctuation within the ASM file name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.

ORA-15129: entry “string” does not refer to a valid directory
Cause: The entry indicated did not refer to a directory. Attempt was made to
access the contents of this directory.
Action: Correct the error and try again.

ORA-15130: diskgroup “string” is being dismounted
Cause: The diskgroup is being dismounted by request or because an I/O error
was encountered that could not be handled by taking the disks offline. A disk
cannot be offlined whenever doing so could result in all copies of a redundant
extent being unavailable.
Action: Repair the hardware problem and re-mount the diskgroup. Refer to the
alert log to determine which disks have failed.

ORA-15131: block string of file string in diskgroup string could not be read

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.

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.

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
destinations
Cause: An attempt was made to change the LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_
DEST parameter when there are no archive log destinations.
Action: Define one or more log archive destinations using parameters LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST, LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST, or LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
(n = 1…10). Then, change the value of parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_
SUCCEED_DEST.

Action: Broker management of the primary database cannot be explicitly
disabled. Instead you must disable the entire broker configuration if you wish to
disable the primary database.

ORA-16548: object not enabled
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.

ORA-16549: invalid string
Cause: A request contained an invalid or NULL string value.
Action: Correct command parameters and retry.

ORA-16550: truncated result
Cause: A string property value was truncated due to insufficient buffer size.
Action: Specify a larger receive buffer.

ORA-16551: short string copied
Cause: A string property value that did not fill the receive buffer was placed in
the receive buffer.
Action: This is an informational message only. It is not an error.

ORA-16552: an error occurred when generating the CLIENT OPERATION table
Cause: An error occurred while Data Guard broker was generating the CLIENT
OPERATION table.
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 Customer Support.

Cause: The requested operation required that broker management of the Data
Guard configuration must be enabled.
Action: Enable the Data Guard configuration and reissue the request.

ORA-16570: operation requires restart of database “string”
Cause: The Data Guard broker operation required a database to be shutdown and
restarted.
Action: If DGMGRL or Enterprise Manager has not already done so, shutdown
the Oracle instance and then restart it.

ORA-16571: Data Guard configuration file creation failure
Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to create the configuration file on
permanent storage.
Action: Verify space, permissions and filename as indicated by the dg_broker_
config_file[1|2] parameters and retry.

ORA-16572: Data Guard configuration file not found
Cause: The Data Guard broker configuration file was either unavailable or did not
exist.
Action: Verify that the configuration file was successfully created. If the dg_
broker_config_file[1|2] parameter was changed, ensure the filename on disk and
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: Switchover failed because the primary database and/or the designated
standby database are offline.
Action: Check the states of the broker configuration, primary database and
standby database. Set their states to ONLINE if necessary.

ORA-16575: request terminated at broker discretion
Cause: This status is returned when the broker terminates a user- initiated
request. The broker will terminate all other current and pending requests when it
begins processing a failover request. These other requests are terminated with this
status.
Action: There is no action to be taken.

ORA-16576: failed to update Data Guard configuration file
Cause: A failure was encountered while the broker was updating the Data Guard
broker configuration file on permanent storage.
Action: Verify space, permissions and filename as indicated by the dg_broker_

Cause: The Data Guard broker process (DMON) that was expected to be running
on this instance was found to be missing by the Data Guard NetSlave (NSV*)
process(es).
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and DMON process trace file to
determine why the DMON process is missing.

ORA-16595: NetSlave process string failed to terminate
Cause: The specified NetSlave process did not terminate at the request of the Data
Guard broker.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16596: object not part of the Data Guard broker configuration
Cause: A request was made on a database object that is not in the Data Guard
broker configuration. The request cannot be completed.
Action: Reissue the request on a database object that is in the broker
configuration.

ORA-16597: Data Guard broker detects two or more primary databases
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected two or more primary databases in the
broker configuration and cannot continue.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16598: Data Guard broker detected a mismatch in configuration
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a significant mismatch in configuration
validation between two or more databases in the broker configuration. This can
occur when the primary database has a stale broker configuration file.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16599: Data Guard broker detected a stale configuration
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a stale configuration during initialization
for this database.
Action: The broker will automatically resolve this situation once the primary
database completes its initialization.

ORA-16600: failover operation can only be submitted at target database
Cause: This error is returned when a failover request specified a different
database than the database to which the client is currently connected.
Action: Explicitly connect to the database to which you wish to failover and
reissue the failover request.
13-168 Oracle Database Error Messages

ORA-16601: site contains required resources that are disabled
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.

ORA-16606: unable to find property “string”
Cause: The named property does not exist.
Action: Specify a valid property name and reissue the request.

ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a failure for one or more databases in the
Data Guard configuration.
Action: Locate the database(s) with a failure status and correct it.

ORA-16608: one or more databases have warnings
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 -O NONE. Then reissue the broker request.

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

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

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.

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

initialization parameters.
13-180 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Check the Data Guard broker log and Oracle alert logs for more details.

ORA-16722: 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: 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

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

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

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.

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.

Cause: d by incompatible Oracle Net or Net8 versions. Do not include in error
manual.
Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

ORA-12509: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 – 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: 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: 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: 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.

ORA-12519: 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: 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: 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 – 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: 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: 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: 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.

ORA-12525: 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.

ORA-12526: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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

See SQLNET.LOG to find secondary error if not provided explicitly. Turn on
tracing to gather more information.

ORA-12536: 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: TNS:connection closed
Cause: “End of file” condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
Action: None needed; this is an information message.

ORA-12538: 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-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
Cause: The address specified is not valid, or the program being connected to does
not exist.
Action: Ensure the ADDRESS parameters have been entered correctly; the most
likely incorrect parameter is the node name. Ensure that the executable for the
server exists (perhaps “oracle” is missing.) If the protocol is TCP/IP, edit the
TNSNAMES.ORA file to change the host name to a numeric IP address and try
again.

ORA-12546: TNS:permission denied
Cause: User has insufficient privileges to perform the requested operation.
Action: Acquire necessary privileges and try again.

Cause: The algorithm the server chose to use for encryption or data integrity was
not one of the choices acceptable to the client. This is either the result of an internal
error, of a network data transmission error, or of deliberate tampering with the
transmitted data.
Action: For further details, turn on tracing, re-execute the operation, and contact
Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12652: String truncated
Cause: Not enough memory was allocated for a string so it had to be truncated

Action: Look for sources of data corruption, perhaps including deliberate
tampering.

ORA-12657: No algorithms installed
Cause: The near side of the connection required the use of a service (either
encryption or checksumming) when no algorithms for that service were installed.
Action: Remove the “ON” requirement for that service.

ORA-12658: ANO service required but TNS version is incompatible
Cause: A client process that is running an earlier version of TNS attempted to
connect but the connection failed because the server process required that an ANO
service (authentication, encryption, etc.) be used.
Action: Relink the calling executable and retry the connection or eliminate the
requirement that the service be used on the server side.

ORA-12659: Error received from other process
Cause: An error was received by one or more services from the process on the
other side of the connection.
Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error(s). The error(s) is (are) not
returned directly because an error generated by a server may not make sense on
the client side and vice-versa.

ORA-12660: Encryption or crypto-checksumming parameters incompatible
Cause: One side of the connection specified “REQUIRED” for encryption or
crypto-checksumming, while the other side specified “REJECTED”.
Action: Change the “REQUIRED” side to “REQUESTED” if the you want
encryption or crypto-checksumming to be optional, or change the “REJECTED”
side to “ACCEPTED” if you do not want the service to be optional.

credentials needed to authenticate a database link.
Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

ORA-12663: Services required by client not available on the server
Cause: Service(s) that was (were) required by the client process were not available
on the server process.
Action: Configure the server with the services required by the client (best
solution) or delete the requirement from the configuration file of the client (least
secure).

ORA-12664: Services required by server not available on the client
Cause: Service(s) that was (were) required by the server process were not
available on the client process.
Action: Configure the client with the services required by the server (best

outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection

ORA-12668: Dedicated server: outbound protocol does not support proxies
Cause: The protocol specified to perform an externally-identified proxy
connection (database link) from a dedicated server does not support proxy
connections.
Action: Specify a protocol in the Oracle Net connect descriptor used for the
connection that does support externally-authenticated proxy connections. NOTE:
Because of a limitation in Oracle Net, the protocol used for the proxy connection
must the same as that used for the connection from the client to the server.

ORA-12669: Shared server: outbound protocol does not support proxies
Cause: The protocol specified to perform an externally-identified proxy
connection (database link) from a shared server does not support proxy
connections.
Action: Specify a protocol in the Oracle Net connect descriptor used for the
connection that does support externally-authenticated proxy connections. NOTE:
Because of a limitation in Oracle Net, the protocol used for the proxy connection
must the same as that used for the connection from the client to the server.

Cause: A connection was marked as being a proxy connection (database link)
from a shared server but no inbound context was present.
Action: This error should not normally be visible to the user. Contact Oracle
Customer Support.

ORA-12675: External user name not available yet
Cause: The authentication service in use was not able to return the external name
of a user of the ORACLE server because it is not available to the service yet.
Action: This is just an informational message and should not normally be visible
to the user. If the error does appear, contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12676: Server received internal error from client
Cause: The server process received an error from the client which indicated that
an internal Oracle Net native services error had occurred.
Action: Enable tracing on both processes and attempt to recreate the problem. If
the problem recurs, contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-12677: Authentication service not supported by database link
Cause: The authentication service used by the proxy process (database link) was
unable to find the adapter being used by the client in its list of authentication
mechanisms.
Action: Specify an authentication adapter that is shared by the client and the
server being used for the database link.

requires the next cardcode to resynchronize the card.
Action: Use one of the programs supplied by Security Dynamics to resynchronize
the SecurID card.

ORA-12683: encryption/crypto-checksumming: no Diffie-Hellman seed
Cause: The “sqlnet.crypto_seed” parameter is missing from the SQLNET.ORA
parameters file for Oracle Advanced Security.
Action: Add this line to SQLNET.ORA: sqlnet.crypto_seed = “randomly-chosen
text”

ORA-12684: encryption/crypto-checksumming: Diffie-Hellman seed too small
Cause: The “sqlnet.crypto_seed” parameter in the SQLNET.ORA parameter file
for Oracle Advanced Security is too small.
Action: Add more randomly-chosen text to it, perhaps using Network Manager.

ORA-12685: Native service required remotely but disabled locally
Cause: A native service is required by the remote process but native services have
been disabled locally.
Action: Enable native services locally or change the configuration parameters on
the remote host so that no native services are required.
