1 Using Messages

This chapter gives you general information and helpful tips about error messages. This chapter covers the following topics:

- Locating Message Documentation

- Accuracy of Messages

- Message Format

- Recognizing Variable Text in Messages

- Message Stacks

- Contacting Oracle Support Services

- Oracle Exception Messages

- Trace Files

- The Alert File

Locating Message Documentation

This section describes how to locate message documentation when given an error message.

Oracle error message documentation is only available in HTML. If you only have access to the Oracle Documentation CD, you can browse the error messages by range. Once you find the specific range, use your browser's "find in page" feature to locate the specific message. When connected to the Internet, you can search for a specific error message using the error message search feature of the Oracle online documentation.

Oracle Database Messages

These messages are generated by the Oracle Database when running any Oracle program. This manual documents messages that are common across Oracle products and tools.

Product Specific Messages

These messages are specific to one product and are documented in manuals for that product. For example, if you are working with Oracle Enterprise Manager, you would need to refer to the messages contained in the Oracle Enterprise Manager Messages Manual.

Operating System-Specific Messages

These messages are specific to one operating system. A range of message code numbers are reserved for each operating system. For example, the range ORA-07500 to ORA-07999 is reserved for DEC VAX/VMS messages; these messages are listed in the appropriate operating system-specific documentation.

The prefix of the message indicates where to find information about the message. For example, some messages in this manual have the prefix "ORA". If you encounter a message without a prefix, first check the manuals for the release of Oracle you are using, then check this manual.

Accuracy of Messages

The accuracy of the messages in this manual is our primary concern. Occasionally, an enhancement to a message is not incorporated into the Oracle software. Should you encounter a message generated on your system that differs from the message in this book, be assured the improved message text is usually incorporated in the next release of the software. If you should encounter a discrepancy, then please contact us using the information contained in the Reader Comment Form at the front of this manual.

Message Format

All messages displayed are prefixed by text that indicates which program issued the message. For example, the prefix "ORA" shows that the message was generated by the Oracle products. The location of messages in this book depends on the prefix of the message.

All messages are listed in order by the message code number. To look up a message, use the message code number.

Recognizing Variable Text in Messages

To help you find and fix errors, Oracle embeds object names, numbers, and character strings in some messages. These embedded variables are represented by string, number, or character, as appropriate. For example:

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (number) exceeded

The preceding message might actually appear as follows:

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (50) exceeded

Message Stacks

Occasionally, you may see a message stack. This is simply a series of related messages issued at different levels of Oracle.

The following message stack is a generic example:

ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.VALUE_ERR", line 1
ORA-06512: at line 1

The following message stack is a VAX/VMS example:

ORA-01034: Oracle not available
ORA-07625: smsget: $MGBLSC failure
%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHSEC, no such (global) section

In this example, notice that the message at the bottom of the stack is issued by the VMS operating system. Seeing the messages at each level in the system may help you trace the originating event. For example, in this case, Oracle may not be available simply because it has not been started, and consequently there is no system global area (SGA). If you need the help of Oracle Support Services, then be sure to report all the messages in the stack.

Contacting Oracle Support Services

Some messages recommend contacting Oracle Support Services to report a problem. When you contact Oracle Support Services, please have the following information available:

- The hardware, operating system, and release number of the operating system on which Oracle is running

- The complete release number of the Oracle Database (for example, release 9.2.0.1.0 or release 9.0.1.1.2)

- All Oracle programs (with version numbers) in use when the error occurred. For example, SQL*Net V2.0 or SQL*Forms V3.0

- If you encountered one or more error codes or messages, then the exact code numbers and message text, in the order they appeared

- The problem severity, according to the following codes:

1 = Program not usable. Critical impact on operations.

2 = Program usable. Operations severely restricted.

3 = Program usable with limited functions. Not critical to overall operations.

4 = Problem circumvented by customer. Minimal effect, if any, on operations.

You will also be expected to provide the following:

- Your name

- The name of your organization

- Your Oracle Support ID Number

- Your telephone number

Oracle Exception Messages

Oracle's extensive self-checking helps detect internal errors. Oracle uses the following catchall message for Oracle internal exceptions:

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [number], [number], [], [], [], []

An actual message might appear as follows:

ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [1042], [3], [upilam], [], [], []

The message text can be followed by up to six arguments, which indicate the origin and attributes of the error. The first argument is the internal error number. Other arguments are various numbers, names, and character strings. Empty brackets may be ignored.

In addition to being returned to the user, internal errors are also written to the Alert file along with additional information about the event causing the message. The Alert file also lists any trace files that may have been generated because of an internal error. See the following sections for descriptions of the trace and alert files.

If you receive an ORA-00600 message, report it to Oracle Support Services.

Trace Files

A trace file is created each time an Oracle instance starts or an unexpected event occurs in a user process or background process. The name of the trace file includes the instance name, the process name, and the Oracle process number. The file extension or file type is usually TRC, and, if different, is noted in your operating system-specific Oracle documentation. The contents of the trace file may include dumps of the system global area, process global area, supervisor stack, and registers.

Two initialization parameters are used to specify the location of the trace files.

- The BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter specifies the location of trace files created by the Oracle background processes PMON, DBWR, LGWR, and SMON.

- The USER_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter specifies the location of trace files created by user processes such as SQL*Loader or Pro*C.

The Alert file also describes the location of trace files generated when internal errors occur. See the next section for a description of the Alert file.

You may need to format the trace file before using it to diagnose problems. To format a trace file, use the DUMPFMT utility, which is available on most systems and is described in your operating system-specific Oracle documentation. Oracle Support Services may ask you for a formatted trace file to help solve a problem.

See Also:
Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for more information about trace files

The Alert File

The Alert file is a log file that records information about internal errors and administrative activities, such as backups. When an internal error occurs, the message is sent to the terminal screen as well as written to the Alert file. Oracle also writes additional information about internal errors to the Alert file, such as the location and name of any trace files generated because of the error.

The name of the Alert file is operating system-specific. The location of the Alert file is the same as the location of the background process trace files. This location is specified by the BACKGROUND_DUMP_DEST initialization parameter. For more information, see your Oracle operating system-specific documentation.

If your system uses an operator's console, some messages from Oracle may appear on the console. All important messages are written to the Alert file as well as the operator's console. Because non-Oracle messages also appear on this console, the Alert file is a better record for tracing all Oracle administrative activity and errors than the console log.

The Alert file also records information about administrative activities, such as backups and archiving online redo log files.

2 ORA-00000 to ORA-00832

ORA-00000: normal, successful completion

Cause: Normal exit.

Action: None.

ORA-00001: unique constraint (string.string) violated

Cause: An UPDATE or INSERT statement attempted to insert a duplicate key. For Trusted Oracle configured in DBMS MAC mode, you may see this message if a duplicate entry exists at a different level.

Action: Either remove the unique restriction or do not insert the key.

ORA-00017: session requested to set trace event

Cause: The current session was requested to set a trace event by another session.

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

ORA-00018: maximum number of sessions exceeded

Cause: All session state objects are in use.

Action: Increase the value of the SESSIONS initialization parameter.

ORA-00019: maximum number of session licenses exceeded

Cause: All licenses are in use.

Action: Increase the value of the LICENSE MAX SESSIONS initialization parameter.

ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (string) exceeded

Cause: All process state objects are in use.

Action: Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter.

ORA-00021: session attached to some other process; cannot switch session

Cause: The user session is currently used by others.

Action: Do not switch to a session attached to some other process.

ORA-00022: invalid session ID; access denied

Cause: Either the session specified does not exist or the caller does not have the privilege to access it.

Action: Specify a valid session ID that you have privilege to access, that is either you own it or you have the CHANGE_USER privilege.

ORA-00023: session references process private memory; cannot detach session

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

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

ORA-00024: logins from more than one process not allowed in single-process mode

Cause: Trying to login more than once from different processes for ORACLE started in single-process mode.

Action: Logoff from the other process.

ORA-00025: failed to allocate string

Cause: Out of memory.

Action: Restart with larger sga heap.

ORA-00026: missing or invalid session ID

Cause: Missing or invalid session ID string for ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION.

Action: Retry with a valid session ID.

ORA-00027: cannot kill current session

Cause: Attempted to use ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION to kill the current session.

Action: None.

ORA-00028: your session has been killed

Cause: A privileged user has killed your session and you are no longer logged on to the database.

Action: Login again if you wish to continue working.

ORA-00029: session is not a user session

Cause: The session ID specified in an ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION command was not a user session (for example, recursive, etc.).

Action: Retry with a user session ID.

ORA-00030: User session ID does not exist.

Cause: The user session ID no longer exists, probably because the session was logged out.

Action: Use a valid session ID.

ORA-00031: session marked for kill

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

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

ORA-00032: invalid session migration password

Cause: The session migration password specified in a session creation call was invalid (probably too long).

Action: Retry with a valid password (less than 30 chars).

ORA-00033: current session has empty migration password

Cause: An attempt was made to detach or clone the current session and it has an empty migration password. This is not allowed.

Action: Create the session with a non-empty migration password.

ORA-00034: cannot string in current PL/SQL session

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a commit or rollback from a PL/SQL object (procedure, function, package) in a session that has this disabled (by "alter session disable commit in procedure")

Action: Enable commits from PL/SQL in this session, or do not attempt to use commit or rollback in PL/SQL when they are disabled in the current session.

ORA-00036: maximum number of recursive SQL levels (string) exceeded

Cause: An attempt was made to go more than the specified number of recursive SQL levels.

Action: Remove the recursive SQL, possibly a recursive trigger.

ORA-00037: cannot switch to a session belonging to a different server group

Cause: An attempt was made to switch to a session in a different server group. This is not allowed.

Action: Make sure the server switches to a session that belongs to its server group.

ORA-00038: Cannot create session: server group belongs to another user

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

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

ORA-00040: active time limit exceeded - call aborted

Cause: The Resource Manager SWITCH_TIME limit was exceeded.

Action: Reduce the complexity of the update or query, or contact your database administrator for more information.

ORA-00041: active time limit exceeded - session terminated

Cause: The Resource Manager SWITCH_TIME limit was exceeded.

Action: Reduce the complexity of the update or query, or contact your database administrator for more information.

ORA-00042: Unknown Service name string

Cause: An attempt was made to use an invalid application service.

Action: Use a valid service name from SERVICE$ or add a new service using the DBMS_SERVICE package.

ORA-00050: operating system error occurred while obtaining an enqueue

Cause: Could not obtain the operating system resources necessary to cover an oracle enqueue. This is normally the result of an operating system user quota that is too low.

Action: Look up the operating system error in your system documentation and perform the needed action.

ORA-00051: timeout occurred while waiting for a resource

Cause: Usually due to a dead instance.

Action: Check for any dead, unrecovered instances and recover them.

ORA-00052: maximum number of enqueue resources (string) exceeded

Cause: Ran out of enqueue resources.

Action: Increase the value of the ENQUEUE_RESOURCES initialization parameter.

ORA-00053: maximum number of enqueues exceeded

Cause: Ran out of enqueue state objects.

Action: Increase the value of the ENQUEUES initialization parameter.

ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified

Cause: Resource interested is busy.

Action: Retry if necessary.

ORA-00055: maximum number of DML locks exceeded

Cause: Ran out of DML lock state objects.

Action: Increase the value of the DML_LOCKS initialization parameter and warm start.

ORA-00056: DDL lock on object "string.string" is already held in an incompatible mode

Cause: An attempt was made to acquire a DDL lock that is already locked.

Action: This happens if you attempt to drop a table that has parse locks on it.

ORA-00057: maximum number of temporary table locks exceeded

Cause: The number of temporary tables equals or exceeds the number of temporary table locks. Temporary tables are often created by large sorts.

Action: Increase the value of the TEMPORARY_TABLE_LOCKS initialization parameter and warm start.

ORA-00058: DB_BLOCK_SIZE must be string to mount this database (not string)

Cause: DB_BLOCK_SIZE initialization parameter is wrong for the database being mounted. It does not match the value used to create the database.

Action: Fix the value of the DB_BLOCK_SIZE parameter or mount a database that matches the value.

ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

Cause: The value of the DB_FILES initialization parameter was exceeded.

Action: Increase the value of the DB_FILES parameter and warm start.

ORA-00060: deadlock detected while waiting for resource

Cause: Transactions deadlocked one another while waiting for resources.

Action: Look at the trace file to see the transactions and resources involved. Retry if necessary.

ORA-00061: another instance has a different DML_LOCKS setting

Cause: The shared instance being started is using DML locks, and the running instances are not, or vice-versa.

Action: Ensure that all instances" INIT.ORA files specify the DML_LOCKS parameter as 0 or all as non-zero.

ORA-00062: DML full-table lock cannot be acquired; DML_LOCKS is 0

Cause: The instance was started with DML_LOCKS = 0, and the statement being executed needs a full-table lock (S, X, or SSX).

Action: Restart the instance with DML_LOCKS not equal to zero, and reexecute the statement.

ORA-00063: maximum number of log files exceeded string

Cause: The number of log files specificied exceeded the maximum number of log files supported in this release.

Action: Re-create the control file with the highest number of log files no greater than the maximum supported in this release.

ORA-00064: object is too large to allocate on this O/S (string,string)

Cause: An initialization parameter was set to a value that required allocating more contiguous space than can be allocated on this operating system.

Action: Reduce the value of the initialization parameter.

ORA-00065: initialization of FIXED_DATE failed

Cause: The FIXED_DATE string was not in date format yyyy-mm-dd:hh24:mi:ss.

Action: Make sure the initialization parameter is in the correct date format.

Action: Check that the correct control files were specified.

ORA-00204: error in reading (block string, # blocks string) of control file

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

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

ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info

Cause: The system could not find a control file of the specified name and size.

Action: Check that ALL control files are online and that they are the same files that the system created at cold start time.

ORA-00206: error in writing (block string, # blocks string) of control file

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

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

ORA-00207: control files are not for the same database

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

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

ORA-00208: number of control file names exceeds limit of string

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

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

ORA-00209: control file blocksize mismatch, check alert log for more info

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

Action: Look at the alert log for more information.

ORA-00210: cannot open the specified control file

Cause: Cannot open the control file.

Action: Check to make sure the control file exists and is not locked by some other program.

ORA-00211: control file does not match previous control files

Cause: A control file was specified that belongs to another database.

Action: Find and install the correct control file.

ORA-00212: block size string below minimum required size of string bytes

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

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

ORA-00213: cannot reuse control file; old file size string, string required

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

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

ORA-00214: control file "string" version string inconsistent with file "string" version string

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

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

ORA-00215: must be at least one control file

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

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

ORA-00216: control file could not be resized for migration from 8.0.2

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

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

ORA-00217: control file could not be resized for new record types

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

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

ORA-00218: block size string of control file "string" does not match DB_BLOCK_SIZE (string)

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

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

ORA-00219: required control file size (string logical blocks) exceeds maximum allowable size (string logical blocks)

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

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

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

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

Action: Find and install the correct control file.

ORA-00221: error on write to control file

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

Action: See accompanying messages.

ORA-00222: operation would reuse name of a currently mounted control file

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

Action: Retry the operation with a different filename.

ORA-00223: convert file is invalid or incorrect version

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

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

ORA-00224: control file resize attempted with illegal record type (string)

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

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

ORA-00225: expected size string of control file differs from actual size string

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

Action: Restore a good copy of the control file.

ORA-00226: operation disallowed while alternate control file open

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

Action: Retry the operation after calling cfileUseCurrent.

ORA-00227: corrupt block detected in control file: (block string, # blocks string)

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

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

ORA-00228: length of alternate control file name exceeds maximum of string

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

Action: Retry the operation with a shorter filename.

ORA-00229: operation disallowed: already hold snapshot control file enqueue

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

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

ORA-00230: operation disallowed: snapshot control file enqueue unavailable

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

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

ORA-00231: snapshot control file has not been named

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

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

ORA-00232: snapshot control file is nonexistent, corrupt, or unreadable

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

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

ORA-00233: copy control file is corrupt or unreadable

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

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

ORA-00234: error in identifying or opening snapshot or copy control file

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

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

ORA-00235: control file fixed table inconsistent due to concurrent update

Cause: Concurrent update activity on a control file caused a query on a control file fixed table to read inconsistent information.

Action: Retry the operation.

ORA-00236: snapshot operation disallowed: mounted control file is a backup

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

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

ORA-00237: snapshot operation disallowed: control file newly created

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

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

ORA-00238: operation would reuse a filename that is part of the database

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

Action: Retry the operation with a different filename.

ORA-00250: archiver not started

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

Action: No action required.

ORA-00251: LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST cannot be the same destination as string string

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

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

ORA-00252: log string of thread string is empty, cannot archive

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

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

ORA-00253: character limit string exceeded by archive destination string string

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

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

ORA-00254: error in archive control string "string"

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

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

ORA-00255: error archiving log string of thread string, sequence # string

Cause: An error occurred during archiving.

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

ORA-00256: cannot translate archive destination string string

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

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

ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.

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

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

ORA-00258: manual archiving in NOARCHIVELOG mode must identify log

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

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

ORA-00259: log string of open instance string (thread string) is the current log, cannot archive

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

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

ORA-00260: cannot find online log sequence string for thread string

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

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

ORA-00261: log string of thread string is being archived or modified

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

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

ORA-00262: current log string of closed thread string cannot switch

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

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

ORA-00263: there are no logs that need archiving for thread string

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

Action: No action required.

ORA-00264: no recovery required

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

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

ORA-00265: instance recovery required, cannot set ARCHIVELOG mode

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

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

ORA-00287: specified change number string not found in thread string

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

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

ORA-00288: to continue recovery type ALTER DATABASE RECOVER CONTINUE

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

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

ORA-00289: suggestion : string

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

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

ORA-00290: operating system archival error occurred. See error below

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

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

ORA-00291: numeric value required for PARALLEL option

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

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

ORA-00292: parallel recovery feature not installed

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

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

ORA-00293: control file out of sync with redo log

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

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

ORA-00294: invalid archivelog format specifier "string"

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

ORA-00295: datafile/tempfile number string is invalid, must be between 1 and string

Cause: An invalid file number was specified.

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

ORA-00296: maximum number of files (string) exceeded for RECOVER DATAFILE LIST

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

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

ORA-00297: must specify RECOVER DATAFILE LIST before RECOVER DATAFILE START

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

Action: Contact customer support

ORA-00298: Missing or invalid attribute value

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

Either do not specify REUSE or use a file of the correct size.

ORA-00302: limit of string logs exceeded

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

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

ORA-00303: cannot process Parallel Redo

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

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

ORA-00304: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy

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

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

ORA-00305: log string of thread string inconsistent; belongs to another database

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

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

ORA-00306: limit of string instances in this database

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

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

ORA-00307: requested INSTANCE_NUMBER out of range, maximum is string

Cause: An attempt to add a log found neither an existing file nor a size for creating the file.

Action: Specify a size for the log file.

ORA-00338: log string of thread string is more recent than control file

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

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

ORA-00339: archived log does not contain any redo

Cause: The archived log is not the correct log. It is a copy of a log file that has never been used for redo generation, or was an online log being prepared to be the current log.

Action: Specify a time after January 1st 1988.

ORA-00352: all logs for thread string need to be archived - cannot enable

Cause: Attempting to enable a thread with all logs needing to be archived, and media recovery has been enabled. There is no log that can be made the new current log for the thread.

Action: Archive a log for the thread or disable media recovery.

ORA-00353: log corruption near block string change string time string

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

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

ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header

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

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

ORA-00355: change numbers out of order

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

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

ORA-00356: inconsistent lengths in change description

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

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

ORA-00357: too many members specified for log file, the maximum is string

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

Action: Use fewer log file members.

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

ORA-00362: member is required to form a valid logfile in group string

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

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

ORA-00363: log is not the archived version

Cause: d by failing to list the current log of an enabled thread in a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

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

ORA-00364: cannot write header to new log member

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

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

ORA-00365: the specified log is not the correct next log

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

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

ORA-00366: log string of thread string, checksum error in the file header

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

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

ORA-00367: checksum error in log file header

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

Action: Find the correct file and try again.

ORA-00368: checksum error in redo log block

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

Action: Restore correct file or reset logs.

ORA-00369: Current log of thread string not useable and other log being cleared

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

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

ORA-00370: potential deadlock during kcbchange operation

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

Action: Treat as internal error. See error 600.

ORA-00371: not enough shared pool memory, should be atleast string bytes

Cause: Init.ora parameter shared_pool_size is too small

Action: Increase the parameter value

ORA-00372: file string cannot be modified at this time

Action: check the status of the file and its tablespace

ORA-00373: online log version string incompatible with ORACLE version string

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

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

ORA-00374: parameter db_block_size = string invalid ; must be a multiple of string in the range [string..string]

Cause: invalid value for db_block_size parameter

Action: adjust parameter and restart

ORA-00375: unable to get default db_block_size

Cause: the system was unable to determine the default db_block_size

Action: see accompanying system specific error. As a workaround, specify the blocksize in the INIT.ORA file.

ORA-00376: file string cannot be read at this time

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

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

ORA-00377: Frequent backups of file string causing write operation to stall

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

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

ORA-00378: buffer pools cannot be created as specified

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

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

ORA-00379: no free buffers available in buffer pool string for block size stringK

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

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

ORA-00380: cannot specify db_stringk_cache_size since stringK is the standard block size

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

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

ORA-00381: cannot use both new and old parameters for buffer cache size specification

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

Action: Use EITHER the old (pre-Oracle_8.2) parameters OR the new ones. Don"t specify both. If old size parameters are specified in the parameter file, you may want to replace them with new parameters since the new parameters can be modified dynamically and allow you to configure additional caches for additional block sizes. Cache advisory can only be enabled with the new cache parameters.

ORA-00382: %s not a valid block size, valid range [string..string]

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

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

ORA-00383: DEFAULT cache for blocksize string cannot be reduced to zero

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

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

ORA-00384: Insufficient memory to grow cache

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

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

ORA-00385: cannot enable Very Large Memory with new buffer cache parameters

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

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

ORA-00386: use_indirect_data_buffers not supported

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

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

ORA-00390: log string of thread string is being cleared, cannot become current log

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

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

ORA-00391: All threads must switch to new log format at the same time

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

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

ORA-00392: log string of thread string is being cleared, operation not allowed

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

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

ORA-00393: log string of thread string is needed for recovery of offline datafiles

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

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

ORA-00394: online log reused while attempting to archive it

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

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

ORA-00395: online logs for the clone database must be renamed

Cause: A clone database open forces logfile renaming to avoid overwriting the primary logfiles

Action: Rename the logfiles manually or using the log_file_name_convert initialization parameter

ORA-00396: error string required fallback to single-pass recovery

Cause: The indicated error caused two-pass instance or crash recovery to fail. Recovery was retried with an alternate (slower) method to avoid the error.

Action: Correct the cause of the indicated error (also recorded) so that future instance or crash recovery can succeed with the two-pass algorithm. This usually requires making more main memory available to the recovery process.

ORA-00397: instance recovery process terminated with error

Cause: The foreground process doing instance recovery died.

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

ORA-00398: abort thread recovery due to reconfiguration

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

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

ORA-00399: corrupt change description in redo log

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

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

ORA-00400: invalid release value string for parameter string

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

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

ORA-00401: the value for parameter string is not supported by this release

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

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

ORA-00402: database changes by release string cannot be used by release string

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

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

ORA-00403: %s (string) is not the same as other instances (string)

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

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

ORA-00404: Convert file not found: "string"

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

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

ORA-00405: compatibility type "string"

Cause: Reporting a type associated with another error.

Action: See accompanying error

ORA-00406: COMPATIBLE parameter needs to be string or greater

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

Action: Shutdown and startup with a higher compatibility setting.

ORA-00407: rolling upgrade from release string.string to string.string is not allowed

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

Cause: Object privileges or non-MAC system privileges were granted to the procedure.

Action: Only grant MAC privileges using the PROCEDURE clause.

ORA-01002: fetch out of sequence

Cause: This error means that a fetch has been attempted from a cursor which is no longer valid. Note that a PL/SQL cursor loop implicitly does fetches, and thus may also cause this error. There are a number of possible causes for this error, including: 1) Fetching from a cursor after the last row has been retrieved and the ORA-1403 error returned. 2) If the cursor has been opened with the FOR UPDATE clause, fetching after a COMMIT has been issued will return the error. 3) Rebinding any placeholders in the SQL statement, then issuing a fetch before reexecuting the statement.

Action: 1) Do not issue a fetch statement after the last row has been retrieved - there are no more rows to fetch. 2) Do not issue a COMMIT inside a fetch loop for a cursor that has been opened FOR UPDATE. 3) Reexecute the statement after rebinding, then attempt to fetch again.

ORA-01010: invalid OCI operation

Cause: One of the following: 1) You attempted an invalid OCI operation. 2) You are using an Oracle client application linked with version 7.1 (or higher) libraries, the environment variable ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN is set to TRUE, and you attempted to connect to a version 7.0 (or lower) Oracle Server. 3) You are connected to a version 7.1 (or higher) Oracle Server, the initialization parameter DBLINK_ENCRYPT_LOGIN is set to TRUE, and you attempted to use a database link pointing to a version 7.0 (or lower) Oracle Server. 4) You are connected to a version 9.0.2(or higher) Oracle Server and you attempted to use a database link pointing to a version 9.0.1(or lower) Oracle Server for distributed autonomous transaction.

Action: For the above causes: 1) Do not use the invalid OCI operation. 2) If you do not wish to use encrypted connect passwords in your distributed database, set ORA_ENCRYPT_LOGIN to FALSE. If you wish to use encrypted connect passwords, you must upgrade all Oracle Servers to version 7.1 (or higher). 3) If you do not wish to use encrypted database links in your distributed database, set DBLINK_ENCRYPT_LOGIN to FALSE. If you wish to use encrypted database links, you must upgrade all Oracle Servers to version 7.1 (or higher). 4) Do not attempt distributed autonomous transaction on version 9.0.1(or lower) Oracle Server.

ORA-01123: cannot start online backup; media recovery not enabled

Cause: An attempt to start backup of an on-line tablespace failed because media recovery is not enabled.

Action: Enable media recovery and retry this operation.

ORA-01124: cannot recover data file string - file is in use or recovery

Cause: An attempt to do media recovery found that the file was not available for recovery. Either it is online and the database is open in some instance, or another process is curently doing media recovery on the file.

Action: Do not do media recovery.

ORA-01125: cannot disable media recovery - file string has online backup set

Cause: An attempt to disable media recovery found that an online backup is still in progress.

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

ORA-01126: database must be mounted in this instance and not open in any instance

Cause: Obvious

Cause: A file size was specified in the AS clause of ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE, and the size was smaller the the size needed

Action: Create the file with a larger size.

ORA-01137: data file string is still in the middle of going offline

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

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

ORA-01138: database must either be open in this instance or not at all

Cause: The requested operation can not be done when the database is mounted but not open in this instance, and another instance has the database open.

Action: Execute the operation in an open instance, open the datbase in this instance, or close the database in the other instances.

ORA-01139: RESETLOGS option only valid after an incomplete database recovery

Cause: The RESETLOGS option was given in ALTER DATABASE OPEN, but there has been no incomplete recovery session.

Action: Retry the ALTER DATABASE OPEN without specifying RESETLOGS

ORA-01140: cannot end online backup - all files are offline or readonly

Cause: All the files were found to be offline or readonly when attempting to end an online backup.

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

ORA-01141: error renaming data file string - new file "string" not found

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

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

ORA-01142: cannot end online backup - none of the files are in backup

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

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

ORA-01143: cannot disable media recovery - file string needs media recovery

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

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

ORA-01144: File size (string blocks) exceeds maximum of string blocks

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

Action: Specify a smaller size.

ORA-01145: offline immediate disallowed unless media recovery enabled

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

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

ORA-01146: cannot start online backup - file string is already in backup

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

Action: End the first backup before beginning another.

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

ORA-01151: use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed

Cause: Error 1172 occurred.

Action: This is additional information for error 1172.

ORA-01152: file string was not restored from a sufficiently old backup

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

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

ORA-01153: an incompatible media recovery is active

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

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

ORA-01154: database busy. Open, close, mount, and dismount not allowed now

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

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

ORA-01155: the database is being opened, closed, mounted or dismounted

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

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

ORA-01156: recovery in progress may need access to files

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

Action: Wait for recovery to complete.

ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file string - see DBWR trace file

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

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

ORA-01158: database string already mounted

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

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

ORA-01159: file is not from same database as previous files - wrong database id

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

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

ORA-01160: file is not a string

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

Action: Please double check the mentioned file.

ORA-01161: database name string in file header does not match given name of string

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

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

ORA-01162: block size string in file header does not match configured block sizes

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

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

ORA-01163: SIZE clause indicates string (blocks), but should match header string

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

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

ORA-01164: MAXLOGFILES may not exceed string

Cause: MAXLOGFILES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGFILES

ORA-01165: MAXDATAFILES may not exceed string

Cause: MAXDATAFILES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXDATAFILES

ORA-01166: file number string is larger than string (string)

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

Action: Increase the maximum specified on the command line.

ORA-01167: two files are the same file/group number or the same file

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

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

ORA-01168: physical block size string does not match size string of other members

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

Action: Use a physical device with matching block size.

ORA-01169: DATAFILE number 1 not found. Must be present

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

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

ORA-01170: file not found "string"

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

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

ORA-01171: datafile string going offline due to error advancing checkpoint

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

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

ORA-01172: recovery of thread string stuck at block string of file string

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

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

ORA-01173: data dictionary indicates missing data file from system tablespace

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

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

ORA-01174: DB_FILES is string buts needs to be string to be compatible

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

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

ORA-01175: data dictionary has more than the string files allowed by the instance

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

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

ORA-01176: data dictionary has more than the string files allowed by the controlfie

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

Action: Recreate the control file with a larger MAXDATAFILES.

ORA-01177: data file does not match dictionary - probably old incarnation

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

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

ORA-01178: file string created before last CREATE CONTROLFILE, cannot recreate

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

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

ORA-01179: file string does not exist

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

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

ORA-01180: can not create datafile 1

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

Action: Recover file from a backup or recreate database.

ORA-01181: file string created before last known RESETLOGS, cannot recreate

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

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

ORA-01182: cannot create database file string - file is in use or recovery

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

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

ORA-01183: cannot mount database in SHARED mode

Cause: Some other instance has the database mounted exclusive.

Action: Shutdown other instance then mount shared.

ORA-01184: logfile group string already exists

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

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

ORA-01185: logfile group number string is invalid

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

Action: Specify a correct logfile number.

ORA-01186: file string failed verification tests

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

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

ORA-01187: cannot read from file string because it failed verification tests

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

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

ORA-01188: Block size string in header does not match physical block size string

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

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

ORA-01189: file is from a different RESETLOGS than previous files

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

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

ORA-01190: control file or data file string is from before the last RESETLOGS

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

Action: Restore file from a more recent backup.

ORA-01191: file string is already offline - cannot do a normal offline

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

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

ORA-01192: must have at least one enabled thread

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

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

ORA-01193: file string is not the same file seen at start of recovery

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

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

ORA-01194: file string needs more recovery to be consistent

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

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

ORA-01195: online backup of file string needs more recovery to be consistent

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

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

ORA-01196: file string is inconsistent due to a failed media recovery session

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

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

ORA-01197: thread string only contains one log

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

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

ORA-01198: must specify size for log file if RESETLOGS

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

Action: Resubmit the command with the appropriate logfile size.

ORA-01199: file string is not in online backup mode

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

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

ORA-01200: actual file size of string is smaller than correct size of string blocks

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

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

ORA-01201: file string header failed to write correctly

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

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

ORA-01202: wrong incarnation of this file - wrong creation time

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

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

ORA-01203: wrong incarnation of this file - wrong creation SCN

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

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

ORA-01204: file number is string rather than string - wrong file

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

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

ORA-01205: not a data file - type number in header is string

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

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

ORA-01206: file is not part of this database - wrong database id

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

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

ORA-01207: file is more recent than control file - old control file

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

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

ORA-01208: data file is an old version - not accessing current version

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

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

ORA-01209: data file is from before the last RESETLOGS

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

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

ORA-01210: data file header is media corrupt

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

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

ORA-01211: Oracle7 data file is not from migration to Oracle8

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

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

ORA-01212: MAXLOGMEMBERS may not exceed string

Cause: MAXLOGMEMBERS specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGMEMBERS

ORA-01213: MAXINSTANCES may not exceed string

Cause: MAXINSTANCES specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXINSTANCES

ORA-01214: MAXLOGHISTORY may not exceed string

Cause: MAXLOGHISTORY specified on the command line too large.

Action: Resubmit the command with a smaller MAXLOGHISTORY

ORA-01215: enabled thread string is missing after CREATE CONTROLFILE

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

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

ORA-01216: thread string is expected to be disabled after CREATE CONTROLFILE

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

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

ORA-01217: logfile member belongs to a different logfile group

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

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

ORA-01218: logfile member is not from the same point-in-time

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

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

ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only

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

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

ORA-01220: file based sort illegal before database is open

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

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

ORA-01221: data file string is not the same file to a background process

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

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

ORA-01222: MAXINSTANCES of string requires MAXLOGFILES be at least string, not string

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

Action: Either reduce the MAXINSTANCES argument or increase MAXLOGFILES.

ORA-01223: RESETLOGS must be specified to set a new database name

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

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

ORA-01224: group number in header string does not match GROUP string

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

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

ORA-01225: thread number string is greater than MAXINSTANCES string

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

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

ORA-01226: file header of log member is inconsistent with other members

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

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

ORA-01227: log string is inconsistent with other logs

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

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

ORA-01228: SET DATABASE option required to install seed database

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

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

ORA-01229: data file string is inconsistent with logs

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

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

ORA-01230: cannot make read only - file string is offline

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

Action: Bring the file online and retry this command.

ORA-01231: cannot make read write - file string is offline

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

Action: Bring the file online and retry this command.

ORA-01232: cannot start online backup - file string is being made read-only

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

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

ORA-01233: file string is read only - cannot recover using backup control file

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

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

ORA-01234: cannot end backup of file string - file is in use or recovery

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

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

ORA-01235: END BACKUP failed for string file(s) and succeeded for string

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

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

ORA-01236: Error string occurred during initialization of file header access

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

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

ORA-01237: cannot extend datafile string

Cause: An operating system error occurred during the resize.

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

ORA-01238: cannot shrink datafile string

Cause: An operating system error occurred during the resize.

Action: The error is ignored, operation continues normally.

ORA-01239: database must be in ARCHIVELOG mode to use external cache

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

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

ORA-01240: too many data files to add in one command

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

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

ORA-01241: an external cache has died

Cause: The external cache may have been restarted.

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

ORA-01242: data file suffered media failure: database in NOARCHIVELOG mode

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

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

ORA-01243: system tablespace file suffered media failure

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

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

ORA-01244: unnamed datafile(s) added to control file by media recovery

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

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

ORA-01245: offline file string will be lost if RESETLOGS is done

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

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

ORA-01246: recovering files through TSPITR of tablespace string

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

Action: Restore more recent backups and recover them.

ORA-01247: database recovery through TSPITR of tablespace string

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

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

ORA-01248: file string was created in the future of incomplete recovery

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

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

ORA-01249: archiving not allowed in a clone database

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

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

ORA-01250: Error string occurred during termination of file header access

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

Action: The indicated error should be corrected.

ORA-01251: Unknown File Header Version read for file number string

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

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

ORA-01252: cannot prevent writes - file string in recovery manager backup

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

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

ORA-01253: cannot start online backup - file string in recovery manager backup

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

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

ORA-01254: cannot end online backup - file string in recovery manager backup

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

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

ORA-01255: cannot shutdown - file string in recovery manager backup

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

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

ORA-01256: error in locking database file string

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

Action: Determine which database instance legitimately owns the file.

ORA-01257: cannot reuse database file string, unknown file size

Cause: The size of the raw partion cannot be determined

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

ORA-01258: unable to delete temporary file string

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

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

ORA-01259: unable to delete datafile string

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

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

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

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

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

ORA-01261: Parameter string destination string cannot be translated

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

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

ORA-01262: Stat failed on a file destination directory

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

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

ORA-01263: Name given for file destination directory is invalid

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

Action: Use a different name.

ORA-01264: Unable to create string file name

Cause: Unable to create an Oracle managed file name.

Action: , if possible, and retry the command.

ORA-01265: Unable to delete string string

Cause: An error prevented the file from being deleted.

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

ORA-01266: Unable to create unique file name

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

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

ORA-01267: Failure getting date/time

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

Action: Internal error - contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-01268: invalid TEMPFILE clause for alter of permanent TABLESPACE

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

Action: Retry with a DATAFILE clause.

ORA-01269: Destination parameter string is too long

Cause: The value for DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST, DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_n or DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST parameter was too long.

Action: Replace the destination value for the specified parameter with a shorter character string.

ORA-01270: %s operation is not allowed if STANDBY_PRESERVES_NAMES is true

Cause: An operation that renames or adds/drops a file was attempted at a standby database and STANDBY_PRESERVES_NAMES is true.

Action: Set STANDBY_PRESERVES_NAMES false if the operation must be performed.

ORA-01271: Unable to create new file name for file string

Cause: During standby database recovery an error occurred when trying to create a new file name for the indicated file.

Action: Use the ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE command with a new unique name and then resume the standby database recovery.

ORA-01272: REUSE only allowed when a file name is provided.

Cause: The REUSE parameter was specified in a command without a file name.

Action: Either supply a file name or remove the REUSE parameter.

ORA-01273: STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT = AUTO needs COMPATIBLE = string or higher

Cause: Automated standby file management was disabled, so an added file

Action: Restart the instance with COMPATIBLE set to the correct release.

ORA-01274: cannot add datafile "string" - file could not be created

Cause: Automated standby file management was disabled, so an added file could not automatically be created on the standby. 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, or set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT to AUTO and restart standby recovery.

ORA-01275: Operation string is not allowed if standby file management is automatic.

Cause: An operation that renames, adds, or drops a file was attempted at a standby database and STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT was set to AUTO.

Action: Set STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT to MANUAL if the operation must be performed.

ORA-01276: Cannot add file string. File has an Oracle Managed Files file name.

Cause: An attempt was made to add to the database a datafile, log file, control file, snapshot control file, backup control file, datafile copy, control file copy or backuppiece with an Oracle Managed Files file name.

Action: Retry the operation with a new file name.

ORA-01277: file "string" already exists

Cause: An ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS "filename" command specified a file name which is already in use.

Action: Either specify a different file name, or add the REUSE parameter to the command to overwrite the existing file.

ORA-01278: error creating file "string"

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to create a trace file specified in the command ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE AS "filename".

Action: Check the error stack for more detailed information.

ORA-01279: db_files too large

Cause: db_files has been set too high to be supported by the system.

Action: Decrease the number of db_files.

ORA-01280: Fatal LogMiner Error.

Cause: An internal error has occurred inside LogMiner.

Action: none

ORA-01281: SCN range specified is invalid

Cause: StartSCN may be greater than EndSCN, or the SCN specified may be invalid.

Action: Specify a valid SCN range.

ORA-01282: date range specified is invalid

Cause: startTime may be greater than endTime. startTime or endTime may be greater than year 2110. startTime may be less than year 1988.

Action: Specify a valid date range.

ORA-01283: Options specified is invalid

Cause: The specified options parameter is invalid for the procedure.

Action: Specify valid Options parameter.

ORA-01284: file string cannot be opened

Cause: The file or directory may not exist or may be inaccessible. Pathname exceeds 256 characters.

Action: Ensure that the file and the directory exist and are accessible.

ORA-01285: error reading file string

Cause: The file or directory may not exist or is inaccessible.

Action: Specify valid file or directory. Make sure that file and directory are accessible.

ORA-01286: start interval required

Cause: Options were supplied which require a starting time or starting SCN

Action: Specify a starting interval (time or SCN).

ORA-01287: file string is from a different database incarnation

Cause: The logfile is produced by a different incarnation of the database.

Action: Add a logfile that is produced by the same incarnation.

ORA-01289: cannot add duplicate logfile string

Cause: The logfile specified has already been added to the list of logfiles.

Action: Specify a different logfile.

ORA-01290: cannot remove unlisted logfile string

Cause: The user attempted to remove a logfile that is not present in the list.

Action: Specify a valid logfile.

ORA-01291: missing logfile

Cause: Not all logfiles corresponding to the time or scn range specified have been added to the list.

Action: Check the v$logmnr_logs view to determine the missing scn range, and add the relevant logfiles.

ORA-01292: no log file has been specified for the current LogMiner session

Cause: No logfile has been specified for the LogMiner session.

Action: Specify atleast one log file.

ORA-01293: mounted database required for specified LogMiner options

Cause: Options were specified which required the database to be mounted

Action: Specify different options or mount the database.

ORA-01294: error occurred while processing information in dictionary file string, possible corruption

ORA-01544: cannot drop system rollback segment

Cause: Tried to drop system rollback segment

Action: None

ORA-01545: rollback segment "string" specified not available

Cause: Either: 1) An attempt was made to bring a rollback segment online that is unavailable during startup; for example, the rollback segment is in an offline tablespace. 2) An attempt was made to bring a rollback segment online that is already online. This is because the rollback segment is specified twice in the ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS parameter in the initialization parameter file or the rollback segment is already online by another instance. 3) An attempt was made to drop a rollback segment that is currently online. 4) An attempt was made to alter a rollback segment that is currently online to use unlimited extents. 5) An attempt was made to online a rollback segment that is corrupted. This is because the rollback is specified in _corrupted_rollback_segments parameter in initialization parameter file.

Action: Either: 1) Make the rollback segment available; for example, bring an offline tablespace online. 2) Remove the name from the ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS parameter if the name is a duplicate or if another instance has already acquired the rollback segment. 3) Bring the rollback segment offline first. This may involve waiting for the active transactions to finish, or, if the rollback segment needs recovery, discover which errors are holding up the rolling back of the transactions and take appropriate actions. 4) Same as 3). 5) Remove the name from the _corrupted_rollback_segments parameter.

ORA-01546: tablespace contains active rollback segment "string"

Cause: Tried to make a tablespace that contains active rollback segment(s) offline or read only

Action: Shutdown instances that use the active rollback segments in the tablespace and then make the tablespace offline or read only

ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below

Cause: Media recovery with one of the incomplete recovery options ended without error. However, if the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS command were attempted now, it would fail with the specified error. The most likely cause of this error is forgetting to restore one or more datafiles from a sufficiently old backup before executing the incomplete recovery.

Action: Rerun the incomplete media recovery using different datafile backups, a different control file, or different stop criteria.

Action: Recreate the database by specifying a larger file or more files.

ORA-01570: MINEXTENTS must be no larger than the string extents currently allocated

Cause: The number of extents allocated is smaller than the MINEXTENTS specified.

Action: Specify a smaller MINEXTENTS value.

ORA-01571: redo version string incompatible with ORACLE version string

Cause: This software version can not read the current redo logs, and either crash recovery is required or there are offline database files that need media recovery. If a file name is listed then it needs media recovery.

Action: Shutdown and startup using the compatible software. Do any required media recovery, and open the database. Shutdown and then startup using current software. If the file is going to be dropped then take it offline with the DROP option to skip this check.

ORA-01572: rollback segment "string" cannot be brought online, string extents exceeded

Cause: The number of extents in the rollback segment exceeds the hard limit. It cannot be brought online for writing.

Action: Drop and recreate the rollback segment.

ORA-01573: shutting down instance, no further change allowed

If timely repair is not possible, DBA should contact DBA at commit point if known or end user for correct outcome, or use heuristic default if given to issue a heuristic commit or abort command to finalize the local portion of the distributed transaction.

ORA-01592: error converting Version 7 rollback segment (string) to Oracle 8 format

Cause: Look at the accompanying internal error; Version 7 database may not have shutdown cleanly.

Action: Investigate the internal error; may have to reload the Version 7 database (from backup) and shutdown the database cleanly.

ORA-01593: rollback segment optimal size (string blks) is smaller than the computed initial size (string blks)

Cause: Specified OPTIMAL size is smaller than the cumulative size of the initial extents during create rollback segment.

Action: Specify a larger OPTIMAL size.

ORA-01594: attempt to wrap into rollback segment (string) extent (string) which is being freed

Cause: Undo generated to free a rollback segment extent is attempting to write into the same extent due to small extents and/or too many extents to free

Action: The rollback segment shrinking will be rollbacked by the system; increase the optimal size of the rollback segment.

ORA-01595: error freeing extent (string) of rollback segment (string))

Cause: Some error occurred while freeing inactive rollback segment extents.

Action: Check the status of rollback segment in undo$ or dba_rollback_segs

ORA-01609: log string is the current log for thread string - cannot drop members

Cause: A member of the current log for a thread cannot be dropped.

Action: If the thread is opened, request a log switch by the instance that is using it. If it is not open, disable the thread, manually archive the log, or clear it.

ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done

Cause: Either an earlier database recovery session specified BACKUP CONTROLFILE, or the control file was recreated with the RESETLOGS option, or the control file being used is a backup control file. After that only BACKUP CONTROLFILE recovery is allowed and it must be followed by a log reset at the next database open.

Action: Perform recovery using the BACKUP CONTROFILE option.

ORA-01611: thread number string is invalid - must be between 1 and string

Cause: A thread number in a command is greater than the number of threads supported by the control file.

Action: Use a thread number that is valid, or resize the thread record and/or checkpoint progress record sections of the control file.

ORA-01612: instance string (thread string) is already enabled

Cause: An attempt was made to enable a thread that is already enabled.

Action: Either use this thread or enable another thread.

ORA-01613: instance string (thread string) only has string logs - at least 2 logs required to enable.

Cause: The thread cannot be enabled because it only has two online log files associated with it.

Action: Add logs to the thread or pick another thread to enable

ORA-01614: instance string (thread string) is busy - cannot enable

Cause: The mount enqueue for the thread could not be acquired when attempting to enable the thread. This probably means that another process has already started enabling this thread.

Action: Wait and try again, or find another thread to enable.

ORA-01615: instance string (thread string) is mounted - cannot disable

Cause: Some instance, possibly this one, has allocated the thread for its use. The thread can not be disabled while in use.

Action: Shut the instance down cleany using the thread.

ORA-01616: instance string (thread string) is open - cannot disable

Cause: The thread is not closed. The last instance to use the thread died leaving the thread open. A thread cannot be disabled until it is closed. It is still required for crash or instance recovery.

Action: If the database is open, instance recovery should close the thread soon - wait a few minutes. Otherwise open the database - crash recovery will close the thread.

ORA-01617: cannot mount: string is not a valid thread number

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter "thread" is not between 1 and the number of threads allowed by the control file.

Action: Shut down the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and startup, or resize the thread record and/or checkpoint progress record sections of the control file.

ORA-01618: redo thread string is not enabled - cannot mount

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter "thread" requests a thread that is not enabled. A thread must be enabled before it can be mounted.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and startup mounting a different thread. If the database is open in another instance then the thread may be enabled.

ORA-01619: thread string is mounted by another instance

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter "thread" requests a thread that has been mounted by another instance. Only one instance may use a thread.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter and startup mounting a different thread.

ORA-01620: no public threads are available for mounting

Cause: The INIT.ORA parameter "thread" is zero, its default value. There are no threads which have been publicly enabled, and not mounted.

Action: Shutdown the instance, change the INIT.ORA parameter to a thread which is privately enabled and not mounted. If the database is open in another instance, then a thread may be publicly enabled.

ORA-01621: cannot rename member of current log if database is open

Cause: This is a rename command for a member of the current log for an open thread. If the database is open anywhere, the log may be in use, so the rename cannot be done.

Action: Wait until the log is not current, or mount the database exclusively.

ORA-01622: thread number must be specified - default not specific

Cause: The thread was not specified when adding a log, and the currently mounted thread was chosen by default at mount time. Since the current thread was not specified explicitly the user cannot know which thread the log will be added to.

Action: Explicitly specify the thread number either in the INIT.ORA parameter "thread", or in the add command.

ORA-01623: log string is current log for instance string (thread string) - cannot drop

Cause: A thread"s current log cannot be dropped even if the thread is closed. A disabled thread usually does not have a current log, but a half completed disable may need to be disabled again.

Action: If the database is not open then disable the thread. If the database is open and an instance has the thread open, then the instance can be requested to switch logs. If the database is closed the log can be archived or cleared to force a switch.

ORA-01624: log string needed for crash recovery of instance string (thread string)

Cause: A log cannot be dropped or cleared until the thread"s checkpoint has advanced out of the log.

Action: If the database is not open, then open it. Crash recovery will advance the checkpoint. If the database is open force a global checkpoint. If the log is corrupted so that the database cannot be opened, it may be necessary to do incomplete recovery until cancel at this log.

ORA-01625: rollback segment "string" does not belong to this instance

Cause: Trying to shrink or take a rollback segment offline that does not belong to this instance.

Action: none

ORA-01626: rollback segment number "string" cannot handle more transactions

Cause: Too many transactions in this segment.

Action: Choose a different rollback segment, or reduce the number of concurrent transactions.

ORA-01627: rollback segment number "string" is not online

Cause: Could have been taken offline before by DBA or cleaned up by SMON.

Action: Check the status of rollback segment in undo$ or dba_rollback_segs to make sure the rollback segment is actually online.

ORA-01628: max # extents (string) reached for rollback segment string

Cause: An attempt was made to extend a rollback segment that was already at the MAXEXTENTS value.

Action: If the value of the MAXEXTENTS storage parameter is less than the maximum allowed by the system, raise this value.

ORA-01629: max # extents (string) reached saving undo for tablespace string

Cause: Save undo for the offline tablespace at max extents

Action: Check the storage parameters for the system tablespace. The tablespace needs to be brought back online so the undo can be applied .

ORA-01630: max # extents (string) reached in temp segment in tablespace string

Cause: A temp segment tried to extend past max extents.

Action: If maxextents for the tablespace is less than the the system maximum, you can raise that. Otherwise, raise pctincrease for the tablespace

ORA-01631: max # extents (string) reached in table string.string

Cause: A table tried to extend past maxextents

Action: If maxextents is less than the system maximum, raise it. Otherwise, you must recreate with larger initial, next or pctincrease params

ORA-01632: max # extents (string) reached in index string.string

Cause: An index tried to extend past maxextents

Action: If maxextents is less than the system max, raise it. Otherwise, you must recreate with larger initial, next or pctincrease params.

ORA-01633: Real Application Clusters Option needed for this operation

Cause: System doesn"t have Real Application Clusters configured

Action: Obtain Real Application Clusters option

ORA-01634: rollback segment number "string" is about to go offline

Cause: The rollback segment specified was marked to go offline by DBA.

Action: Bring the rollback segment online first.

ORA-01635: rollback segment #string specified not available

Cause: (same as 1545)

Action: (same as 1545)

Cause: The instance is trying to online an already online RS

Action: none

ORA-01637: rollback segment "string" is being used by another instance (#string)

Cause: The instance is trying to online a RS already in use by another instance

Action: none

ORA-01638: parameter string does not allow ORACLE version string to mount cluster database

Cause: The recovery compatible parameter is set too low to allow this software version to mount in cluster database mode.

Action: Either use an earlier software release or advance the recovery_compatible parameter. If this happens when no recovery_compatible parameter has been specified then set it to the current software release.

ORA-01639: instance string has no thread assigned to it

Cause: There is no mapping from instance to thread for this instance in the control file.

Action: Make sure that this instance has a thread assigned to it by adding logfiles to this instance or by starting the instance with an existing thread which will automatically create a mapping.

ORA-01640: cannot make tablespace read only with active transactions

Cause: Attempting to make a tablespace read only while there are active transactions in the database. All transactions must commit or rollback to insure that there is no undo for a tablespace before it can be made read only. This includes in doubt distributed transactions.

Action: Prevent any more transactions from being started. Putting the database in restricted mode usually helps. If there are any in doubt transactions they must also be resolved.

ORA-01641: tablespace "string" is not online - cannot add data file

Cause: Attempting to add a datafile to a tablespace that has been set to read only or offline.

Action: Make the tablespace online and read write then add the datafile.

ORA-01642: begin backup not needed for read only tablespace "string"

Cause: Attempting to begin or end a backup for a tablespace that has been set to read only.

Action: Take the backup without any begin or end commands. The files are not being modified so the backup will be consistent.

ORA-01643: system tablespace can not be made read only

Cause: Attempting to set the system tablespace to read only. The system tablespace must remain read write for database operation.

Action: Leave system tablespace read write.

ORA-01644: tablespace "string" is already read only

Cause: Attempting to make tablespace read only that is already read only.

Action: Leave tablespace read only, or make read write then make read only again.

ORA-01645: previous attempt to make read write is half complete

Cause: A failure while making the tablespace read write left it read only, but the checkpoint was advanced. The tablespace will not be useable after a resetlogs if its files are offline.

Action: Repeat the command to make the tablespace read write.

ORA-01646: tablespace "string" is not read only - cannot make read write

Cause: Attempting to make a tablespace read write that is not read only. It may be either online or offline.

Action: Leave tablespace read write.

ORA-01647: tablespace "string" is read only, cannot allocate space in it

Cause: Tried to allocate space in a read only tablespace

Action: Create the object in another tablespace

ORA-01648: log string is the current log of disabled instance string (thread string)

Cause: An attempt to enable the thread failed after it was half completed. This log was left as the current log even though the thread is still disabled. Since a log switch cannot be done until the thread is enabled, the log can not be cleared or archived.

Action: Complete the thread enable by issuing the enable command again.

ORA-01649: operation not allowed with a backup control file

Cause: An attempt is being made to perform a command that does not make sense when the control file is a restored backup.

Action: Wait until after the database has been opened and try again.

ORA-01650: unable to extend rollback segment string by string in tablespace string

Cause: Failed to allocate an extent of the required number of blocks for a rollback segment in the tablespace.

ORA-01665: control file is not a standby control file

Cause: Attempting to mount, recover or activate a standby database without a standby control file.

Action: Create a standby control file before attempting to use the database as a standby database.

ORA-01666: control file is for a standby database

Cause: Attempting to mount, recover, or open a standby database without the appropriate command option to designate a standby database.

Action: Use the standby option or appropriate commands, or mount with the primary control file.

ORA-01667: cannot add any more tablespaces: limit of string exceeded

Cause: There is no more room in the control file for adding tablespaces.

Action: Resize the control file or drop other tablespaces.

ORA-01668: standby database requires DROP option for offline of data file

Cause: Attempting to take a datafile offline in a standby database without specifying the DROP option. Files that are offline in a standby database are not recovered, and are likely to be unusable if the standby is activated. Note that specifying DROP does not prevent bringing the file online later.

Action: Specify the DROP option or leave the file online.

ORA-01669: standby database control file not consistent

Cause: Attempting to activate a standby database with a control file that has not been recovered to the same point as the data files. Most likely the control file was just copied from the primary database and has not been used for recovery.

Action: Recover the standby database until all the files are consistent.

ORA-01670: new datafile string needed for standby database recovery

Cause: Standby database recovery noticed that a file was added to the primary database, but is not available on the standby.

Action: Either copy the file from the primary database or do an ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE command on the standby to create a file to recover.

ORA-01671: control file is a backup, cannot make a standby control file

Cause: The currently mounted control file is a backup control file, and attempting to create a control file for a standby database.

Action: Complete any needed recovery and open the database with the resetlogs option.

ORA-01672: control file may be missing files or have extra ones

Cause: Attempting to create a standby control file, but the control file was either recently created via CREATE CONTROLFILE or an incomplete recovery has been done. Thus the datafiles in the control file and the ones in the data dictionary may not match.

Action: Open the database, then retry the operation.

ORA-01673: data file string has not been identified

Cause: This data file was not in the control file after an incomplete recovery or CREATE CONTROLFILE. Since information from its header is needed for standby database recovery, we can not create a standby control file.

Action: Find the file and bring it online. If desired it may be taken offline again. If you intend to drop this file, then taking it offline with the DROP option will avoid this error.

ORA-01674: data file string is an old incarnation rather than current file

Cause: Recovery encountered redo that indicates this file was dropped from the database and another file was added using the same file number. This implies that a CREATE CONTROLFILE command was given the old file which was dropped rather than the latest file.

Action: Rebuild the control file using CREATE CONTROLFILE, and give the correct file.

ORA-01675: max_commit_propagation_delay inconsistent with other instances

Cause: The max_commit_propagation_delay INIT.ORA parameter is inconsistent with those in other instances.

Action: Make sure all instances have the same max_commit_propagation_delay.

ORA-01676: standby file name convert of "string" exceeds maximum length of string

Cause: When the given file name is converted to the name used for the standby database, the converted name is bigger than the maximum allowed file name.

Action: Change initialization parameter DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT or LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT to convert to a valid file name.

ORA-01677: standby file name convert parameters differ from other instance

Cause: The DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT or LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT initialization parameters are not the same as in other instances that already have the database mounted.

Action: Change initialization parameters DB_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_STANDBY_NAME_CONVERT to match other instances.

ORA-01678: parameter string must be pairs of pattern and replacement strings

Cause: The initialization parameter does not have even number of strings for its value. The odd numbered strings are patterns to be found in file names. The even numbered strings are used to replace the corresponding patterns when found in file names.

Action: Specify even number of strings for the parameter, or omit the parameter.

ORA-01679: database must be mounted EXCLUSIVE and not open to activate

Cause: An attempt to activate a standby database was made when the database was not mounted EXCLUSIVE or was already open.

Action: Mount the database EXCLUSIVE and retry the ACTIVATE command.

ORA-06558: buffer in dbms_pipe package is full. No more items allowed

Cause: The pipe buffer size has been exceeded.

Action: none

ORA-06559: wrong datatype requested, string, actual datatype is string

Cause: The sender put different datatype on the pipe than that being requested (package "dbms_pipe"). The numbers are: 6 - number, 9 - char, 12 - date.

Action: Check that the sender and receiver agree on the number and types of items placed on the pipe.

ORA-06560: pos, string, is negative or larger than the buffer size, string

Cause: Internal error from the dbms_pipe package.

Action: none

ORA-06561: given statement is not supported by package DBMS_SQL

Cause: Attempting to parse an unsupported statement using procedure PARSE provided by package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Only statements which begin with SELECT, DELETE, INSERT, UPDATE, LOCK, BEGIN, DECLARE or << (PL/SQL label delimiter) are supported.

ORA-06562: type of out argument must match type of column or bind variable

Cause: Attempting to get the value of a column or a bind variable by calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE of package DBMS_SQL but the type of the given out argument where to place the value is different from the type of the column or bind variable that was previously defined by calling procedure DEFINE_COLUMN (for defining a column) or BIND_VARIABLE (for binding a bind variable) of package DBMS_SQL.

Action: Pass in an out argument of the correct type when calling procedure COLUMN_VALUE or VARIABLE_VALUE. The right type is the type that was provided when defining the column or binding the bind variable.

ORA-06563: top level procedure/function specified, cannot have subparts

Cause: The name to be resolved was specified with three parts (a.b.c) but the a.b part resolves to a top level procedure or function (which don"t have nested procedures). This can also happen with a two-part name, a.b, where a is a synonym for a top level package or procedure.

Action: Specify a procedure/function within a package, or a top level procedure/function.

ORA-06564: object string does not exist

Cause: The named object could not be found. Either it does not exist or you do not have permission to access it.

Action: Create the object or get permission to access it.

ORA-06565: cannot execute string from within stored procedure

Cause: The named procedure cannot be executed from within a stored procedure, function or package. This function can only be used from pl/sql anonymous blocks.

Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06566: invalid number of rows specified

Cause: An invalid number of rows was specified in a call to the procedure DEFINE_COLUMN in the package DBMS_SQL. For a given parsed statement in a given cursor, all columns must be defined to have the same number of rows, so all the calls to DEFINE_COLUMN must specify the same number of rows.

Action: Specify a number that matches that for previously defined columns.

ORA-06567: invalid number of values specified

Cause: An invalid number of values to be bound was specified in a call to the procedure BIND_VARIABLE in the package DBMS_SQL. In order to execute a given parsed statement in a given cursor, the same number of values must have been bound for all bind variables, so when EXECUTE is called, the latest calls to BIND_VARIABLE must must have specified the same number of values to be bound for all bind variables.

Action: Make sure that the same number of values have been bound for all of the bind variables.

ORA-06568: obsolete ICD procedure called

Cause: An obsolete ICD procedure was called by a PL/SQL program. The PL/SQL program was probably written for an eralier release of RDBMS.

Action: Make sure that all PL/SQL programs have been upgraded to the latest release of the RDBMS. This can be accomplished by following upgrade instructions in the README file, or by running the catproc.sql script supplied with the RDBMS.

ORA-06569: Collection bound by bind_array contains no elements

Cause: A collection with zero elements was bound to a bind variable in a call to procedure BIND_ARRAY in the package DBMS_SQL. In order to execute a bind of a collection, the collection must contain at least one element. If no elements are present then at execute time there will be no value for this bind and the statement is meaningless.

Action: Fill the collection with the elements you want to bind and try the bind call again.

ORA-06570: shared pool object does not exist, cannot be pinned

Cause: The specified shared pool shared cursor could not be found, therefore it cannot be pinned.

Action: Remove the procedure from the calling stored procedure.

ORA-06571: Function string does not guarantee not to update database

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function that does not contain a pragma that prevents the database from being updated.

* A SQL statement references a stand-alone, PL/SQL function that contains an instruction to update the database.

Action: If the referenced function is a packaged, PL/SQL function: Recreate the PL/SQL function with the required pragma; be certain to include the "Write No Database State" (WNDS) argument in the argument list of the pragma. If the referenced function is a stand-alone, PL/SQL function: Do not use the function.

ORA-06572: Function string has out arguments

Cause: A SQL statement references either a packaged, or a stand-alone, PL/SQL function that contains an OUT parameter in its argument list. PL/SQL functions referenced by SQL statements must not contain the OUT parameter.

Action: Recreate the PL/SQL function without the OUT parameter in the argument list.

ORA-06573: Function string modifies package state, cannot be used here

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A SQL statement references a packaged, PL/SQL function that does not contain a pragma containing the "Write no Package State" (WNPS).

* A SQL statement references a stand-alone, PL/SQL function that modifies a package state. A stand-alone, PL/SQL function referenced by a SQL statement cannot modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged, PL/SQL function: Recreate the function and include a pragma containing the "Write no Package State" (WNPS). If the function is a stand-alone, PL/SQL function: Delete the function from the SQL statement.

ORA-06574: Function string references package state, cannot execute remotely

Cause: There are two possible causes for this message:
* A remote, packaged function or a remote-mapped, local, packaged function that does not contain a pragma with the "Write no Package State" (WNPS) and "Read no Package State" (RNPS) arguments references a package state.

* A remote, stand-alone function or a remote-mapped, local, stand-alone function contains a reference to a package state (reads or writes a package variable). Only local functions that are referenced in a SELECT list, VALUES clause of an INSERT statement, or SET clause of an UPDATE statement can modify a package state.

Action: If the function is a packaged function: Recreate the function and include a pragma containing the "Write no Package State" (WNPS) and "Read no Package State" (RNPS) arguments. If the function is a stand-alone function: Do not call the function.

ORA-06575: Package or function string is in an invalid state

Cause: A SQL statement references a PL/SQL function that is in an invalid state. Oracle attempted to compile the function, but detected errors.

Action: Check the SQL statement and the PL/SQL function for syntax errors or incorrectly assigned, or missing, privileges for a referenced object.

ORA-06576: not a valid function or procedure name

Cause: Could not find a function (if an INTO clause was present) or a procedure (if the statement did not have an INTO clause) to call.

Action: Change the statement to invoke a function or procedure

ORA-06577: output parameter not a bind variable

Cause: The argument corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement must be a bind variable.

Action: Change the argument to a bind variable

ORA-06578: output parameter cannot be a duplicate bind

Cause: The bind variable corresponding to an IN/OUT or OUT parameter for a function or a procedure or a function return value in a CALL statement cannot be a duplicate bind variable.

Action: Change the bind variable to be unique

ORA-06579: Bind variable not big enough to hold the output value

Cause: The bind variable specified by the user is not large enough to hold the output returned by the function or a procedure.

Action: Specify a bind variable of larger size.

ORA-06580: Hash Join ran out of memory while keeping large rows in memory

Cause: Hash Join reserves 3 slots (each slot size = DB_BLOCK_SIZE * HASH_JOIN_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT) for a row. If a row is larger than that, this error will be raised.

Action: Increase HASH_JOIN_MULTIBLOCK_IO_COUNT so that each joined row fits in a slot. HASH_AREA_SIZE may also need to be increaed.

ORA-06592: CASE not found while executing CASE statement

Cause: A CASE statement must either list all possible cases or have an else clause.

Action: Add all missing cases or an else clause.

ORA-06593: %s is not supported with natively compiled PL/SQL modules

Cause: Specified feature is not yet supported for natively compiled PL/SQL modules yet.

Action: Recompile the relevant PL/SQL modules in non-native mode by setting the parameter plsql_compiler_flags to INTERPRETED.

ORA-06595: REF CURSOR parameters are not supported in forwarded RPC calls

Cause: An attempt was made to make a forwarded RPC call with a REF CURSOR parameter.

Action: Either call the remote function directly (i.e., not by way of forwarding), or move the remote function to a database where it can be called directly.

ORA-06596: unsupported LOB operation in RPC call

Cause: An attempt was made to perform certain LOB operations (for example, deep copying of a temporary or abstract LOB on the client-side) while performing an RPC. This is not currently supported.

Action: Perform the LOB operation in question before starting the RPC; or perform those LOB operations which are not actually executed on the client-side, on the server-side.

ORA-12315: database link type is invalid for the ALTER DATABASE statement

Cause: The database link name you specified on the ALTER DATABASE statement is not an ROM: link. You must specify an ROM: link when using the ALTER DATABASE statement to mount or open a secondary database.

Action: Re-issue the ALTER DATABASE statement using a valid ROM: link to the database you want to mount or open. If a valid ROM: link does not exist, create one using the CREATE DATABASE LINK command. See the Trusted ORACLE RDBMS Guide to Security Features for more information about creating database links using the ROM: link type.

ORA-12316: syntax error in database link"s connect string

Cause: The connect string in the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement has a syntactical error.

Action: Drop the database link and recreate it using valid syntax. See the SQL Language Reference Manual for more information about the connect string portion of the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement.

ORA-12317: logon to database (link name string) denied

Cause: There are several possible causes for this error. First, you can get this error if your username (and password, if you are using database instead of operating system authentication) in the secondary database are not identical to your username (and password) in the primary database. Second, you can get this error if your username in the secondary database is invalid (has not been created). Third, you can get this error if the username/password combination specified in the connect string of the database link definition is invalid (either not created or has an invalid password).

Action: In the first case, ensure that the secondary database contains a username (and password, if you are using database authentication) identical to the one you are using in the primary database. In general, you should always use operating system authentication in Trusted ORACLE (see the Trusted ORACLE RDBMS Guide to Security Features for more information about the advantages of OS authentication). In the second case, ensure that your username in the secondary database has been created. In the third case, ensure that the username specified in the connect string has been created in the secondary database.

ORA-12318: database (link name string) is already mounted

Cause: You are attempting to mount a secondary database that has already been mounted by your instance.

Action: to mount it. To establish access, use the ALTER DATABASE <linkname> OPEN command to open the database.

ORA-12319: database (link name string) is already open

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 <listener name>

- Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.

- If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that the service name specified is a service known by the listener.

- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

ORA-12515: 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 <listener name>

- Check that the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance name known by the listener.

- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

ORA-12522: 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

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 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 <parallel clause> may follow description(s) of resulting partitions

Cause: Descriptions of partition(s) resulting from splitting of a table or index partition may be followed by an optional <parallel clause> which applies to the entire statement and which, in turn, may not be followed by any other clause.

Action: Ensure that all partition attributes appear within the parenthesized list of descriptions of resulting partitions in ALTER TABLE/INDEX SPLIT PARTITION statement.

ORA-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.

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.

Action: Ensure that no partitioning or subpartitioning column is of type BLOB or CLOB.

ORA-14136: ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE restricted by fine-grained security

Cause: User doing exchange does not have full table access due to VPD policies.

Action: Grant exempt priviliges to this user.

ORA-14137: Table in partially dropped state, submit DROP TABLE PURGE

Cause: An attempt was made to access a partitioned table in a partially dropped state.

Action: Submit DROP TABLE <table> PURGE to drop the table.

ORA-14138: An unexpected error encountered during drop table operation

Cause: Drop table encountered an unexpected error.

Action: a. Submit drop table <table> purge, or b. If the situation described in the next error on the stack can be corrected, do so. c. Contact Oracle Support.

ORA-14150: missing SUBPARTITION keyword

Cause: keyword SUBPARTITION missing

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14151: invalid table partitioning method

Cause: Invalid partitioning method was specified in CREATE TABLE statement. A table may be partitioned by RANGE, HASH, or Composite Range/Hash (R+H).

Action: Specify one of valid partitioning methods

ORA-14152: invalid number of partitions specified in PARTITIONS clause

Cause: number-of-partitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of partitions outside of legal range (1-1048575)

Action: Specify a number between 1 and 1024K-1 in the number-of-partitions clause

ORA-14153: only one of STORE IN or <partition-description> clause may be specified

Cause: both STORE IN and <partition-description> clauses were specified in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX command

Action: Remove one of offending clauses

ORA-14154: only one of STORE IN or <subpartition-description> clause may be specified

Cause: both STORE IN and <subpartition-description> clauses were specified in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX, or ALTER TABLE ADD|SPLIT PARTITION or ALTER TABLE MERGE PARTITIONS command for a Composite Range partitioned object

Action: Remove one of offending clauses

ORA-14155: missing PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword

Cause: expect either PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword but none was supplied

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14156: invalid number of subpartitions specified in [SUBPARTITIONS | SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE] clause

Cause: number-of-subpartitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of subpartitions outside of legal range (1-1048575)

Action: Specify a number between 1 and 1024K-1 in the number-of-subpartitions clause

ORA-14157: invalid subpartition name

Cause: a subpartition name of the form <identifier> is expected but not present.

Action: enter an appropriate subpartition name.

ORA-14158: too many subpartition descriptions

Cause: CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX contained too many subpartition descriptions; maximum number of subpartitions is 1048575.

Action: Reduce number of subpartitions to not exceed 1024K-1.

ORA-14159: duplicate subpartition name

Cause: Name of a subpartition of a table or index being created is not unique

Action: rename subpartition(s) to ensure that their names are unique among subpartitions of the table or index being created

ORA-14160: this physical attribute may not be specified for a table subpartition

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical attributes of a table subpartition; TABLESPACE is the only valid option

Action: remove invalid option(s)

ORA-14161: subpartition number string: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100

Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a subpartition whose number (subpartitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the subpartition does not exceed 100

ORA-14162: subpartition "string": sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100

Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a subpartition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the subpartition does not exceed 100

ORA-14163: subpartition number string: INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a subpartition whose number (subpartitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS

ORA-14164: subpartition "string": INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a subpartition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS

ORA-14165: MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES FOR PARTITION may not be combined with other operations

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES OF PARTITION with some other operation (e.g. ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal

Action: Ensure that MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES is the sole operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement; operations other than those dealing with partitions, default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be combined at will

ORA-14166: missing INTO keyword

Cause: keyword INTO missing

Action: supply missing keyword

ORA-14167: only one subpartition may be moved

Cause: ALTER TABLE MOVE SUBPARTITION contained descriptions of more than one subpartition to be moved

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one subpartition to be moved and that it does not contain any commas

ORA-14168: only one subpartition may be modified

Cause: ALTER TABLE|INDEX MODIFY SUBPARTITION contained descriptions of more than one subpartition to be modified

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one subpartition to be modified and that it does not contain any commas

ORA-14169: invalid ALTER TABLE MODIFY SUBPARTITION option

Cause: An option other than PCTFREE, PCTUSED, INITRANS, MAXTRANS, STORAGE, was specified in an ALTER TABLE MODIFY SUBPARTITION statement.

Action: Specify only legal options.

ORA-14170: cannot specify <partition-description> clause in CREATE TABLE|INDEX

Cause: User requested to generate default partition description(s) (possibly via PARTITIONS <number-of-partitions>) while at the same time specified <partition-description> clause which is illegal

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.

ORA-14171: cannot specify <subpartition-description> clause in CREATE|ALTER TABLE

Cause: User requested to generate default subpartition description(s) (possibly via SUBPARTITIONS) while at the same time specified <subpartition-description> clause which is illegal

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.

ORA-14172: invalid ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE SUBPARTITION option

Cause: Name of the table to be EXCHANGED has to be followed by [{INCLUDING|EXCLUDING} INDEX][{WITH|WITHOUT} VALIDATION]

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

ORA-14173: illegal subpartition-extended table name syntax

Cause: Subpartition to be accessed may only be specified using its name. User attempted to use a subpartition number or a bind variable.

Action: Modify statement to refer to a subpartition using its name

ORA-14174: only a <parallel clause> may follow COALESCE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION

Cause: ALTER TABLE COALESCE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION may be followed by an optional <parallel clause>. No partition/subpartition attributes may be specified

Action: Ensure that no partition/subpartition attribute was specified.

ORA-14175: a subpartition maintenance operation may not be combined with other operations

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine a subpartition maintenance operation (e.g. MOVE SUBPARTITION) with some other operation (e.g. MODIFY PARTITION ADD SUBPARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal

Action: Ensure that a subpartition maintenance operation is the sole operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement; operations other than those dealing with subpartitions, default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be combined at will

ORA-14176: this attribute may not be specified for a hash partition

Cause: An invalid option was encountered while parsing physical attributes of a partition of an object partitioned using the HASH method. The TABLESPACE option is the only valid option for such partitions.

Action: Remove the invalid option(s).

ORA-14177: STORE-IN (Tablespace list) can only be specified for a LOCAL index on a Hash or Composite Range Hash table

Cause: STORE-IN (Tablespace list) clause was used while creating a local index on a range/list/composite range list partitioned table

Action: Do not use the STORE_IN (Tablespace list) clause while creating a local index on range/list/composite range list partitioned table

ORA-14178: STORE IN (DEFAULT) clause is not supported for hash partitioned global indexes

Cause: STORE IN (DEFAULT) is valid only for local indexes.

Action: a) Specify a tablespace list in place of DEFAULT, or b) Remove STORE IN clause and specify tablespaces individually for each index partition.

ORA-14183: TABLESPACE DEFAULT can be specified only for Composite LOCAL index

Cause: User attempted to specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT for a partition of a Range/System/Hash partitioned LOCAL index object, which is illegal.

Action: Replace TABLESPACE DEFAULT with TABLESPACE <ts_name> or remove it.

ORA-14185: incorrect physical attribute specified for this index partition

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical attributes of a local index partition; valid options for Range or Composite Range partitions are INITRANS, MAXTRANS, TABLESPACE, STORAGE, PCTFREE, PCTUSED, LOGGING and TABLESPACE; but only TABLESPACE may be specified for Hash partitions STORE IN () is also disallowed for all but Composite Range partitions

Action: remove invalid option(s) from the list of physical attributes of an index partition

ORA-14186: number of sub-partitions of LOCAL index must equal that of the underlying table

Cause: User attempted to create a LOCAL partitioned index with a number of sub-partitions which is different from that of the underlying table.

Action: Correct the CREATE INDEX statement to specify a correct number of sub-partitions

ORA-14187: partitioning method for LOCAL index is inconsistent with that of the underlying table

Cause: User attempted to create a LOCAL partitioned index that is not equi-partitioned with the underlying table. The partitioning types are mismatched.

Action: Correct the CREATE INDEX statement to ensure that the index partitionining method is consistent with that of the base table

ORA-14188: sub-partitioning columns must form a subset of key columns of a UNIQUE index

Cause: User attempted to create a UNIQUE partitioned index whose sub-partitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns which is illegal

Action: If the user, indeed, desired to create an index whose subpartitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns, it must be created as non-UNIQUE; otherwise, correct the list of key and/or subpartitioning columns to ensure that the index" subpartitioning columns form a subset of its key columns

ORA-14189: this physical attribute may not be specified for an index subpartition

Cause: unexpected option was encountered while parsing physical attributes of an index subpartition; TABLESPACE is the only valid option

Action: remove invalid option(s)

ORA-14190: only one ENABLE/DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT clause can be specified

Cause: One of three possible actions caused the error: 1) ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT was specified more than once. 2) DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT was specified more than once. 3) Both ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT and DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT were specified.

Action: Remove all but one of the ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT or DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT clauses; then, reissue the command.

ORA-14191: ALLOCATE STORAGE may not be specified for Composite Range partitioned object

Cause: User specified ALLOCATE STORAGE clause in ALTER TABLE/ALTER INDEX statement issued against a range-partitioned index which is illegal.

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

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.

ORA-15095: reached maximum ASM file size (string GB)

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.

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.

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.

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.

- 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 <name> -O NONE. Then reissue the broker request.

ORA-16641: failure to acquire broker configuration metadata lock

Cause: Internal error

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16642: db_unique_name mismatch

Cause: The expected db_unique_name value did not match the actual db_unique_name value for the database that the broker contacted using the connect identifier that was associated with that database.

Action: Verify that the connect identifier correctly connects to the intended database. Verify that the name of the database that the broker expects to find via that connect identifier matches the actual db_unique_name for that database.

ORA-16643: unable to determine location of broker configuration files

Cause: The Data Guard broker was unable to determine the location of its configuration files from the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters.

Action: Retry the operation and if the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16644: apply instance not available

Cause: The broker operation could not finish, because it requires a running apply instance for the standby database, and either there was no such instance designated for the standby database or the designated apply instance was not currently available.

Action: Start the designated apply instance or wait until the broker specifies an instance to be the apply instance and reissue the command.

ORA-16645: unexpected new instance interrupted current operation

Cause: A new instance unexpectedly joined the Data Guard configuration at a point when the current operation may proceed only if the set of known instances is not changing dynamically.

Action: Reissue the operation after the new instance has joined the Data Guard configuration.

ORA-16646: Fast-Start Failover is disabled

Cause: The operation was not allowed because Fast-Start Failover is disabled.

Action: Enable Fast-Start Failover and retry the operation.

ORA-16647: could not start more than one observer

Cause: The observer could not start because there was another observer already observing the Data Guard configuration for which Fast-Start Failover may have been enabled.

Action: Stop the running observer. Retry the operation.

ORA-16648: a new observer registered with identifier string

Cause: The observer is registered with the Data Guard broker and will begin observing the Data Guard configuration for conditions that warrant doing a Fast-Start Failover.

Action: None

ORA-16649: database will open after Data Guard broker has evaluated Fast-Start Failover status

Cause: The database is being opened while Fast-Start failover is enabled. The message indicates that the Data Guard broker will first determine if conditions are suitable for opening; that is, a Fast-Start failover did not occur while the database was unavailable.

Action: No action is normally required. The Data Guard broker will continue opening the database after determining a Fast-Start failover did not occur. If there is a chance that a Fast-Start Failover did occur, the database will remain in the mounted state and will not open. In this case, check the target standby to see if a role transition took place.

ORA-16650: command incompatible when Fast-Start Failover is enabled

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command which is not permitted when Fast-Start Failover is enabled. The command was not issued using the Data Guard broker.

Action: The attempted command must be issued using the Data Guard broker.

ORA-16651: requirements not met for enabling Fast-Start Failover

Cause: The attempt to enable Fast-Start Failover could not be completed because one or more requirements have not been met:
- The Data Guard configuration must be in MaxAvailability protection mode.

- The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database must be SYNC.

- The primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database must both have flashback enabled.

- No valid target standby database was specified in the primary database"s FastStartFailoverTarget property prior to the attempt to enable Fast-Start Failover, and more than one standby database exists in the Data Guard configuration.

Action: Retry the attempted command after correcting the issue:
- Set the Data Guard configuration to MaxAvailability protection mode.

- Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database are SYNC.

- Ensure that both the primary database and the Fast-Start Failover target standby database have flashback enabled.

- Set the primary database"s FastStartFailoverTarget property to the db_unique_name value of the desired target standby database add the desired target standby database"s FastStartFailoverTarget property to the db_unique_name value of the primary database.

ORA-16652: Fast-Start Failover target standby database is disabled

Cause: The command to enable or disable Fast-Start Failover could not be completed because Data Guard broker management of the Fast-Start Failover target standby database is currently disabled.

Action: Enable broker management of the target standby database and reissue the command. If you are attempting to disable Fast-Start Failover when this error is reported, you may opt to disable Fast-Start Failover with the FORCE option. See the description for DGMGRL"s DISABLE FAST_START FAILOVER [FORCE] command for more information.

ORA-16653: failed to reinstate database

Cause: The Data Guard broker failed to reinstate the specified database because the REINSTATE command failed or because the database is already enabled.

Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the primary database"s and/or the specified database"s Data Guard broker log files. This information will be helpful in determining how to proceed.

ORA-16654: Fast-Start Failover is enabled

Cause: The attempted command was not allowed while Fast-Start Failover (FSFO) was enabled:
- The FastStartFailoverTarget property may not be modified.

- The LogXptMode property for either the primary database or the FSFO target standby database may not be modified.

- Neither the broker configuration or the FSFO target standby database may be disabled using the DGMGRL CLI"s DISABLE command.

- Neither the broker configuration or the FSFO target standby database may be removed using the DGMGRL CLI"s REMOVE command.

- The FAILOVER IMMEDIATE command is not allowed.

Action: Disable Fast-Start Failover, using the FORCE option if required. Then retry the attempted command.

ORA-16655: specified target standby database invalid

Cause: The attempted command was not allowed because Fast-Start Failover was enabled for this Data Guard configuration and the target standby database specified in the command differs from the standby database that was indicated by the FastStartFailoverTarget property associated with the current primary database.

Action: Retry the attempted command by specifying the standby database that is indicated by the FastStartFailoverTarget property that is associated with the current primary database. Alternatively, you may disable Fast-Start Failover. You may then retry the command while specifying the originally specified target standby database.

ORA-16656: higher DRC UID sequence number detected

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected a higher sequence value during its bootstrap or health check operations. The sequence value is changed each time switchover or failover completes successfully.

Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the Data Guard "broker log" files, one for the primary database and one for each standby database in the Data Guard configuration. This information will be helpful in determining how best to proceed from this failure.

ORA-16657: reinstatement of database in progress

Cause: Reinstatement of this database was in progress.

Action: No action is necessary.

ORA-16658: unobserved Fast-Start Failover configuration

Cause: The Fast-Start Failover configuration was currently unobserved so failover was disallowed.

Action: Make sure the observer is running and has connectivity to both the primary and the target standby databases. Otherwise, disable Fast-Start Failover to allow a failover in the absence of the observer process.

ORA-16659: failover operation in progress

Cause: A primary database that restarted contacted a standby database that is being failed over to.

Action: Shutdown the primary database and wait for failover to complete on the standby database. Once failover is complete, restart the old primary database. If the failover occurred due to Fast-Start Failover, restarting the primary database after failover is complete will allow it to be automatically reinstated as a standby database to the new primary database.

ORA-16660: FSFO operation attempted in absence of a broker configuration

Cause: An attempt was made to enable or disable Fast-Start Failover when connected to a standby database for which broker configuration details are currently unavailable. For instance, the standby database may currently require re-creation (or flashback reinstantiation) before it may respond to broker client commands.

Action: 1) An attempt to enable or disable (non-FORCE) Fast-Start Failover at this standby database will be rejected until such time that the broker configuration details have been made available to that standby database"s DMON process from the primary"s DMON process. This normally occurs when the standby database is successfully re-created or flashed back, and then reenabled at the primary database. 2) You may use the FORCE option to override Fast-Start Failover that has been enabled at the standby database even when the broker configuration details are currently unavailable to the standby database. In this case, this status message is only a warning. Note that FSFO is not formally disabled in the broker configuration. The effect of this command issued under these circumstances may or may not be permanent, depending upon when the primary and standby databases regain full communication between each other at a later point in time and if the state of Fast-Start Failover had been altered at the primary database in the meantime.

ORA-16661: the standby database needs to be reinstated

Cause: A switchover or failover operatione has caused this database to require reinstatement.

Action: Use the DGMGRL REINSTATE DATABASE command or Enterprise Manager to reinstate the database. If the target database has flashback enabled and it has sufficient flashback logs, the database will be reinstated as a standby database for the current primary database.

ORA-16700: the standby database has diverged from the primary database

Cause: The primary database may have been flashed back or restored from a backup set and then reopened with the RESETLOGS option.

Action: Re-create the standby database from the primary database or flash back the standby database to the same point the primary database had been flashed back to.

ORA-16701: generic resource guard request failed

Cause: Request to modify or query the resource failed.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the reason for the failure, and reissue the request.

ORA-16702: generic resource guard warning

Cause: A request to modify or query the resource resulted in a warning.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the reason for the warning, and if necessary reissue the request.

ORA-16703: cannot set property while the database is enabled

Cause: An attempt was made to change a database property while the database was enabled.

Action: Disable broker management of the database first, then update the property and reenable the database.

ORA-16704: cannot modify a read-only property

Cause: An attempt was made to change a read-only property.

Action: The property is controlled internally by the Data Guard broker and cannot be modified.

ORA-16705: internal error in resource guard

Cause: Internal error

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16706: no resource guard is available

Cause: No resource guard is available to service the request.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16707: the value of the property string is invalid, valid values are string

Cause: An invalid property value was entered while broker management of the database was disabled.

Action: Reset the value to a correct one.

ORA-16708: the state supplied to resource guard is invalid

Cause: The state name specified is invalid for the database.

Action: Check the state name and reissue the request.

ORA-16709: standby archived log location settings conflict with flash recovery area

Cause: The flash recovery area was already set up on the standby database for storing incoming archived logs from the primary database. In this case, the StandbyArchiveLocation and AlternateLocation properties should not be used for setting up a standby archived log location. The Data Guard broker raised this error because it detected one of the following: (1) the user attempted to use the StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation properties to set up a standby archived log location; (2) On the standby database, a local destination corresponding to the StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation property was still set up to store archived logs from the primary database.

Action: If you get this error when trying to set property StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation (case (1) above), avoid setting these properties. If you get this error after a broker health check (case (2) above), reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16710: the resource guard is out of memory

Cause: The resource guard was unable to allocate memory while trying to service a request.

Action: Disable broker management of the configuration, shut down Oracle, increase SGA size, and restart.

ORA-16711: the resource guard index is out of bounds

Cause: Internal error

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

ORA-16712: the resource handle is invalid

Cause: Internal error

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.

ORA-16796: one or more properties could not be imported from the database

Cause: The broker was unable to import property values for the database being added to the broker configuration. This error indicates:
- the net-service-name specified in DGMGRL"s CREATE CONFIGURATION or ADD DATABASE command is not one that provides access to the database being added, or

- there are no instances running for the database being added.

Action: Remove the database from the configuration using the REMOVE CONFIGURATION or REMOVE DATABASE command. Make sure that the database to be added has at least one instance running and that the net-service-name provides access to the running instance. Then reissue the CREATE CONFIGURATION or ADD DATABASE command.

ORA-16797: database is not using a server parameter file

Cause: The database is not using a server parameter file or the resource guard was unable to access the server parameter file.

Action: Issue CREATE SPFILE=".." FROM PFILE="..."" command to create a server parameter file and then restart the database to use it.

ORA-16798: unable to complete terminal recovery on the standby database

Cause: Terminal recovery on the standby database failed during the failover operation.

Action: Check Data Guard broker log and alert logs to see more details on the reason of the failure.

ORA-16799: Redo Apply is offline

Cause: Either the Data Guard broker metadata indicates that Redo Apply is turned off, or the recovery process, MRP0, is not running. In either of the cases, Redo Apply-related properties cannot be set.

Action: Turn on Redo Apply through Data Guard broker and reissue the command to set a Redo Apply-related property.

ORA-16800: redo transport service for a standby database incorrectly set to ALTERNATE

Cause: The redo transport service for a standby database is currently set to ALTERNATE when no other destination is set to alternate to this destination.

Action: Reset the database state to turn on redo transport again if necessary.

ORA-16801: redo transport-related property is inconsistent with database setting

Cause: The values of one or more redo transport-related configuration properties were inconsistent with database in-memory settings or server parameter file settings. This may happen by altering initialization parameters directly instead of altering property values using Data Guard broker.

Action: Query property the InconsistentLogXptProps on the primary database or check the Data Guard broker log to find which properties are set inconsistently. Reset these properties to make them consistent with the database settings. Alternatively, enable the database or the entire configuration to allow the configuration property settings to be propagated to to the initialization parameters.

ORA-16802: downgrading redo transport mode from SYNC disallowed

Cause: An attempt was made to downgrade the redo transport mode of a standby database from SYNC to ASYNC or ARCH when the configuration was in Maximum Protection or Maximum Availability mode and the primary database was a RAC database. This is not allowed, even if there are other standby databases with log transport modes set to SYNC to support the data protection mode.

Action: You can do one of the following if you need to downgrade the redo transport mode of the standby database: (1) Shut down all instances of the primary database and restart one instance with initialization parameter CLUSTER_DATABASE set to FALSE. Downgrade the redo transport mode, shutdown the instance, and restart all instances with CLUSTER_DATABASE set to TRUE. (2) Downgrade the protection mode to Maximum Performance mode first. Then downgrade the redo transport mode, then upgrade the protection mode again (which involves a shutdown and restart of the primary database). Note that the above only works when there exists at least one more standby database in the configuration that has the log transport mode set to SYNC.

ORA-16803: unable to query a database table or fixed view

Cause: Failed to query a database table or fixed view. The database may not be open or mounted.

Action: Check Data Guard broker log for more details.

ORA-16804: one or more configuration properties in metadata have invalid values

Cause: Data Guard broker health check detected that one or more configuration properties in the broker"s configuration metadata have invalid values. The property values have been changed while broker management of the database is disabled.

Action: Check Data Guard broker log for more details on which properties have invalid values and reset them through the Data Guard broker.

ORA-16805: change of LogXptMode property violates overall protection mode

Cause: The standby database resource guard rejected the attempt to change the LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database. The rejection was necessary to avoid violating the overall protection mode for the configuration.

Action: If the LogXptMode configuration property must be changed for the specified standby database, first downgrade the overall protection mode for the broker configuration. After that operation has completed, you will be able to change the LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database.

ORA-16806: supplemental logging is not turned on

Cause: Supplemental logging was not turned on while there is a logical standby database in the configuration. This could happen either on the primary or on the logical standby database that is being switched over to be the primary database.

Action: Check Data Guard broker log for more details. Issue the ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE INDEX) COLUMNS to add supplemental logging.

ORA-16807: unable to change database protection mode

Cause: An attempt to issue the ALTER DATABASE SET STANDBY TO MAXIMIZE {PROTECTION | AVAILABILITY | PERFORMANCE} failed.

Action: Check the Oracle alert log and Data Guard broker log for more information.

ORA-16808: unable to resolve the full path name

Cause: An attempt to resolve the full path name from a string failed.

Action: Check the Data Guard broker log for the full error stack. This likely the result of an operating system error.

ORA-16809: multiple warnings detected for the database

Cause: The broker has detected multiple warnings for the database.

Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.

ORA-16810: multiple errors or warnings detected for the database

Cause: The broker detected multiple errors or warnings for the database.

Action: Check the StatusReport monitorable property of the database specified.

ORA-16811: apply instance not recorded by the Data Guard broker

Cause: The broker has not registered an apply instance for a standby database.

Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16812: log apply service not running on apply instance recorded by the broker

Cause: Log apply services are not running on the apply instance the Data Guard Broker expects them to be running upon.

Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16813: log apply service not running on apply instance string recorded by the broker

Cause: Log apply services are not running on the apply instance the Data Guard Broker expects them to be running upon.

Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.

ORA-16814: incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby database

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that an incorrect redo transport setting for a standby database"s AlternateLocation property. The incorrect setting could be one of the following: one of the following: (1) the AlternateLocation property is empty but the log transport to the standby database has an ALTERNATE setting; (2) the AlternateLocation property is not empty but the log transport to the standby database has no ALTERNATE setting; (3) the AlternateLocation property does not match the ALTERNATE setting in the redo transport. The mismatch may include service string, directory specification of the alternate location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute; (4) the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter corresponding to the alternate location is not set to ALTERNATE; (5) the flash recovery area is being used by the standby database for archived logs, but the redo transport to the standby database still has an ALTERNATE setting for the AlternateLocation. Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of the above cases causes the error.

Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.

ORA-16815: incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby database "string"

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that the redo transport setting for the standby database regarding its AlternateLocation property value is incorrect. The incorrect setting could be one of the following: (1) the AlternateLocation property is empty but the log transport to the standby database has an ALTERNATE setting; (2) the AlternateLocation property is not empty but the log transport to the standby database has no ALTERNATE setting; (3) the AlternateLocation property does not match the ALTERNATE setting in the redo transport. The mismatch may include service string, directory specification of the alternate location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute; (4) the log_archive_dest_state_n parameter corresponding to the alternate location is not set to ALTERNATE; (5) the flash recovery area is being used by the standby database for archived logs, but the redo transport to the standby database still has an ALTERNATE setting for the AlternateLocation. Data Guard broker logs provide more details on which of the above cases causes the error.

Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.

ORA-16816: incorrect database role

Cause: The Data Guard broker detected that this database object had a database role that was different from the recorded database role in the Data Guard Configuration. This could be the result of a failed switchover or failover operation, or an out-of-band switchover or failover operation done to the database.

Action: Manually fix the database to convert it to the appropriate database role, then issue an ENABLE DATABASE command to reenable the database object.

ORA-16817: unsynchronized Fast-Start Failover configuration

Cause: The Fast-Start Failover target standby database was not synchronized with the primary database. As a result, a Fast-Start Failover could not happen automatically in case of a primary database failure.

Action: Ensure that the Fast-Start Failover target standby database is running and that the primary database can ship redo logs to it. When the standby database has received all of the redo logs from the primary database, the primary and standby databases will then be synchronized. The Data Guard configuration may then failover automatically to the standby database in the event of loss of the primary database.

ORA-16818: Fast-Start Failover suspended

Cause: The primary database was intentionally shutdown. As a result, a Fast-Start Failover could not happen automatically.

Action: Start up the primary database. This effectively restores the ability to automatically do a Fast-Start Failover in the event of a failure of the primary database.

ORA-16819: Fast-Start Failover observer not started

Cause: The observer for Fast-Start Failover was not started. As a result, Fast-Start Failover could not happen in the case of a primary database failure.

Action: Start the Fast-Start Failover observer by using, for example, the DGMGRL START OBSERVER command.

ORA-16820: Fast-Start Failover observer is no longer observing this database

Cause: A previously started observer was no longer actively observing this database. A significant amount of time elapsed since this database last heard from the observer. Possible reasons were:
- The node where the observer was running was not available.

- The network connection between the observer and this database was not available.

- Observer process was terminated unexpectedly.

Action: Check the reason why the observer cannot contact this database. If the problem cannot be corrected, stop the current observer by connecting to the Data 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Action: This incremental cannot be applied to this datafile. If you wish to recover the file to the resetlogs SCN so that the database can be opened with the RESETLOGS option, then you must use redo-log recovery, not incremental restore, to continue recovering this file.

ORA-19660: some files in the backup set could not be verified

Cause: A restore conversation was made to verify all the files in a backup set, and the files which were printed in messages 19661 or 19662 could not be verified because corrupt blocks for those files were found in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated files cannot be restored from this backup set.

ORA-19661: datafile string could not be verified

Cause: Some data blocks for the indicated datafile were corrupt in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated datafile cannot be restored from this backup set.

ORA-19662: archived log thread string sequence string could not be verified

Cause: Some data blocks for the indicated archived log were corrupt in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated archived log cannot be restored from this backup set.

ORA-19663: cannot apply current offline range to datafile string

Cause: An attempt was made to apply the current offline range to the specified datafile, but the datafile is either not current enough or is not at the correct SCN to apply the offline range.

Action: The datafile remains unchanged.

ORA-19664: file type: string, file name: string

Cause: This message is issued to identify the file which is the subject of an error.

Action: None - this is an informational message. There should be other Oracle messages explaining the cause of the error.

ORA-19665: size string in file header does not match actual file size of string

Cause: The size of the file as indicated in the file header does not match the true size of the file. The two differing sizes are shown in units of logical blocks.

Action: This file is not usable - it has most likely been truncated.

ORA-19666: cannot do incremental restore of the control file

Cause: The control file was included in an incremental restore conversation

Action: If you wish to restore the control file, you must do a full restore of the control file

ORA-19667: cannot do incremental restore of datafile string

Cause: The backup of the datafile is a full backup

Action: If you wish to restore the datafile, you must do a full restore of the datafile

ORA-19668: cannot do full restore of datafile string

Cause: The backup of the datafile is an incremental backup

Action: If you wish to restore the datafile, you must do an incremental restore of the datafile

ORA-19669: proxy copy functions cannot be run on DISK channel

Cause: A proxy copy procedure was called, but the device which is allocated to the current session has type DISK.

Action: Allocate a non-DISK channel and retry the operation. Note that proxy copy requires a 3rd-party media management software product that supports the this backup/restore feature.

ORA-19670: file string already being restored

Cause: A proxy restore function has already named this file as a restore destination.

Action: Use a different file name. If this message occurs during a recovery manager job, then this is an internal error in recovery manager, and you should contact Oracle support.

ORA-19671: media management software returned invalid proxy handle

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, the media management software returned an invalid file handle.

Action: This is an internal error in the media management software which is linked with Oracle to provide backup/restore services. Contact the media management software vendor.

ORA-19672: media management software returned invalid file status

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, the media management software returned an invalid file status.

Action: This is an internal error in the media management software which is linked with Oracle to provide backup/restore services. Contact the media management software vendor.

ORA-19673: error during proxy copy of file string

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, an error occurred while copying this file, but other files may have been copied successfully.

Action: There should be other errors on the error stack which explain why the file could not be successfully copied.

ORA-19674: file string is already being backed up with proxy copy

Cause: Recovery manager attempted to back up the specified file with proxy copy, but the file is already being backed up by another recovery manager job.

Action: Wait until the other recovery manager backup of this file is complete, then retry the backup.

ORA-19675: file string was modified during proxy copy

Cause: A proxy backup of the specified file failed because the file was brought on-line or otherwise modified while the proxy backup was in progress. This file was off-line or read-only when the backup began, so the file was not put into hot-backup mode, therefore no modifications are permitted while the backup is in progress.

Action: Take another backup of this file.

ORA-19676: one or more files failed during proxy backup or restore

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, errors were encountered while processing some files. The files for which no error messages are shown were processed successfully.

Action: Examine the messages regarding the specific files to determine the cause of the problems.

ORA-19677: RMAN configuration name exceeds maximum length of string

Cause: The configuration name string exceeds maximum length.

Action: Supply a correct configuration name and retry the function.

ORA-19678: RMAN configuration value exceeds maximum length of string

Cause: The configuration value string exceeds maximum length.

Action: Supply a correct configuration value and retry the operation.

ORA-19679: RMAN configuration number string is outside valid range of 1 through string

Cause: An invalid RMAN Configuration number was specified.

Action: Specify a correct datafile number and retry the operation.

ORA-19680: some blocks not recovered. See trace file for details

Cause: Some blocks are not recovered during block media recovery.

Action: See trace files for details of the problem.

ORA-19681: block media recovery on control file not possible

Cause: filenumber 0 specified in block media recovery

Action: check filenumber

ORA-19682: file string not in block media recovery context

Cause: Internal error

Action: none

ORA-19683: real and backup blocksize of file string are unequal

Cause: block size changed between backup & real file

Action: use right backup

ORA-19684: block media recovery failed because database is suspended

Cause: Database is suspended, probably by an ALTER SYSTEM SUSPEND statement

Action: Execute ALTER SYSTEM RESUME then retry block media recovery

ORA-19685: SPFILE could not be verified

Cause: Some data blocks for the SPFILE were corrupt in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the SPFILE cannot be restored from this backup set.

ORA-19686: SPFILE not restored due to string

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because some of its data blocks were not found in the backup piece.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the SPFILE cannot be restored from this backup set.

ORA-19687: SPFILE not found in backup set

Cause: The SPFILE could not be restored, because it is not 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 in the piece. You must supply the first backup piece of a backup set that contains the requested file.

ORA-19688: control file autobackup format(string) for string does not have %F

Cause: control file autobackup format must contain %F for the device.

Action: Change control file format using RMAN command CONGIGURE CONTROLFILE BACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE <type> TO <format>.

Cause: control file autobackup format contains more than one %F for the device.

Action: Change control file format using RMAN command CONGIGURE CONTROLFILE BACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE <type> TO <format>.

ORA-19690: backup piece release string incompatible with Oracle release string

Cause: The backup piece was created by incompatible software.

Action: Either restart with a compatible software release or create another backup using the current release.

ORA-19691: %s is from different database: id=string, name=string

Cause: The database name or database id in backuppiece header does not match the one in control file.

Action: Supply the correct backuppiece belonging to this database.

ORA-19692: missing creation stamp on piece string

Cause: The backuppiece doesn"t have information about creation stamp.

Action: Supply another backuppiece which is created by oracle 9i or later version.

ORA-19693: backup piece string already included

Cause: This backup piece was already specified for inclusion in the restore conversation. A restore conversation may process only a single instance of a backup piece.

Action: Remove the specified duplicate backup piece in restore steps and restart the conversation.

ORA-19694: some changed blocks were not found in the change tracking file

Cause: A backup or copy found that some changed blocks had not been recorded in the change tracking file. The details of which files and blocks are affected will be in an Oracle trace file.

Action: This indicates that there is a problem with the change tracking feature. Disable change tracking and re-start the backup.

ORA-19695: fixed table x$krbmsft has not been populated

Cause: This is an internal error. The fixed table x$krbmaft was not populated using the function dbms_backup_restore.searchFiles.

Action: Internal error - contact Oracle Customer Support.

ORA-19696: control file not found in backup set

Cause: The control file could not be restored because it is not 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 in the piece. You must supply the first backup piece of a backup set that contains the requested file.

ORA-19697: standby control file not found in backup set

Cause: The standby control file could not be restored because it is not in this backup set.

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 when the creation SCN in the file header is different from the creation SCN in the control file, possibly because this is the converted datafile.

Action: Either restore the initial version of the plugged-in datafile, or continue database recovery, which will recover the control file.

ORA-19736: can not plug a tablespace into a database using a different national character set

Cause: Oracle does not support plugging a tablespace into a database using a different national character set.

Action: Use import/export or unload/load to move data instead.

ORA-19738: cannot find language information for character set: "string"

Cause: The compatibility check failed because a character set name that was provided is not valid.

Action: Correct the character set name and retry.

Cause: Recovery was done to an incarnation after changing the destination incarnation using RMAN"s RESET DATABASE command.

Action: Open the database with the RESETLOGS option.

ORA-19901: database needs more recovery to create new incarnation

Cause: Recovery was done to an incarnation after changing the destination incarnation using RMAN"s RESET DATABASE command, but one or more of the recovered datafiles still belongs to the parent incarnation. This usually happens 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 Oracle 10i, archived log file names must contain each of the elements %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 <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

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.

Action: Back up the older logs without encryption. Logs created with Oracle release 10.2 and greater can be encrypted.

ORA-19916: %s

Cause: An error occured when processing user request.

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 LOB value.

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 parent directory.

ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for string operation

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.

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 mode.

Action: Close the LOB and re-open it in read-write mode before attempting to write to or update the LOB.

ORA-22295: cannot bind more than 4000 bytes data to LOB and LONG columns in 1 statement

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.

Action: This is just a warning. The transaction was commited successfully, but any domain or functional indexes on the open LOBs were not updated. You may want to rebuild those indexes.

ORA-22298: length of directory alias name or file name too long

Action: Use a version of the Oracle that supports the LOB on both the client and the server.

ORA-24814: operation not allowed for temporary LOBs

Cause: Temporary LOB locators are not allowed in the operation. For example: OCILobAssign only takes persistent LOB locators as parameters, not temporary LOBs.

Action: Use OCILobLocatorAssign for temporary LOBs instead. Note that OCILobLocatorAssign can also be used for persistent LOBs, in which case it will behave the same as OCILobAssign.

ORA-24815: Invalid character set form

Cause: An invalid character set form was passed into an OCI LOB function. For example, the only valid cs form for OCILobCreateTemporary() is OCI_DEFAULT(0), SQLCS_IMPLICIT(1) or SQLCS_NCHAR(2).

* OCIDirPathFinish call was made when the server had

* unprocessed stream data.

Action: Most likely an application mis-use of the direct path API.
* Make sure that the stream is not being reset inadvertently

* prior to any previous stream data being processed, or, that

* OCIDirPathFinish is not being called prematurely (i.e. stream

* pushed, error encountered and LoadStream not called to process

* the remainder of the stream before Finish is called.)

ORA-26096: transfer size too small for row data (number bytes required)

Cause: Either the transfer buffer size specified, or the default

ORA-27374: insufficient privileges on event source queue

Cause: The job owner had insufficient privileges on the event source queue that was specified for the job.

Action: The job owner has to have dequeue privileges on event source queue or he has to have manage queue or dequeue any queue system privileges. Make sure one of these privileges is granted.

ORA-27375: valid agent name must be specified for secure queues

Cause: The queue specified for the event based job or schedule was a secure queue and either no agent name was specified or an invalid agent name was specified.

Action: Use the correct three letter abbreviations for weekdays, e.g. MON for Monday and FRI for Friday.

ORA-27417: BYWEEKNO clause is only supported when FREQ=YEARLY

Cause: A repeat interval or calendar contained a BYWEEKNO clause with a frequency other than yearly.

Action: Remove the BYWEEKNO clause or change the frequency to yearly.

ORA-27418: syntax error in repeat interval or calendar

Cause: The repeat interval or calendar definition could not be recognized as a valid syntax.

Action: Specify a valid repeat interval.

ORA-27419: unable to determine valid execution date from repeat interval

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.

Action: Remove the conflicting clauses, or simplify the repeat interval so that it is easier to determine the next execution date.

ORA-27421: usage of string not supported in a calendar definition

Cause: The calendar definition contained a clause that is specific for a repeat interval

Action: Wait until the step has finished running.

ORA-27434: cannot alter chain step job string.string.string

Cause: A step job of a running chain cannot be altered, only stopped or dropped.

Action: Stop or drop the chain step job or alter the running chain step instead.

ORA-27435: chain job terminated abnormally

Cause: A chain job has ended abnormally. The error code for the running chain could not be retrieved.

Action: No action necessary. The job will run again when it is scheduled to.

Action: Change your SQL statement so that it does not use bind variables.

ORA-28504: ROWID not found in ROWID cache for heterogeneous database link

Cause: The ROWID cache for Heterogeneous Services held no entry that corresponds to the specified ROWID. The ROWID entry may have been overwritten in the ROWID cache.

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.

ORA-28507: error in data dictionary view string

Cause: The initialization parameter table for the Heterogeneous Services was not available, or its structure (number of columns or column types) was incorrect.

Action: Verify correct installation of the following Heterogeneous Services" initialization parameter views: HS_CLASS_INIT and HS_INST_INIT. If these views are not available, make sure you ran the script CATHS.SQL in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.

ORA-28508: invalid value string for Heterogeneous Services initialization parameter string

Cause: The specified Heterogeneous Services initialization parameter had an invalid value when attempting to connect to a non-Oracle system.

Action: Check the Heterogeneous Services and agent documentation to determine 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=<name> 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

Cause: A fatal error occurred in one of the following places: -- the connection 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 "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

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_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.

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.

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

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 <value> 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.

ORA-28594: agent control utility: invalid parameter name

Cause: The user tried to set or unset an invalid agent parameter.

Action: Refer to documentation and correct the parameter name.

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.

ORA-30373: object data types are not supported in this context

Cause: An object data type was encountered in an unsupported context.

Action: Re-specify the expression to avoid the use of objects.

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

Cause: An attempt to open a connection failed because too many are already open 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.

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-30690: timeout occurred while registering a TCP/IP connection for data traffic detection

Cause: A timeout occurred while registering a TCP/IP connection for data traffic detection.

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 VALUESET statement specified a scalar valueset but did not include a qualified data reference to specify the parent.

Action: Add a qualified data reference specifying the parent to the VALUESET statement.

ORA-33084: (XSAGDNGL42) In AGGMAP workspace object, you cannot qualify the dimensioned valueset workspace object.

Cause: The VALUESET line referred to a dimensioned valueset.

Action: Use a non-dimensioned valueset to limit the status of the dimensioned one.

ORA-33086: (XSAGINIT01) AGGMAP workspace object cannot be dimensioned by a conjoint dimension.

Cause: The specified AGGMAP was dimensioned by a conjoint dimension.

Action: Use the CHGDFN command to change the conjoint to a composite dimension.

ORA-33092: (XSAGCOMP04) number is not the name of a MODEL in any attached analytic workspace.

Cause: An invalid model name was attached to an AGGMAP.

Action: Remove the model from the AGGMAP or create a model with that name.

ORA-33094: (XSAGGMAPLIST01) Your expression uses too much execution space. Eliminate recursion or reduce the levels of nesting.

Cause: formulas likely refer to each other recursively or with a great deal of depth.

Action: eliminate recursion and flatten formula trees.

ORA-33098: (APABBR01) A value of "string" is not valid for the workspace object option.

Cause: An inappropriate value was specified for the named option.

Action: Set a legal value for the option.

ORA-33100: (APABBR02) Value "number" is not valid for the workspace object option.

Cause: An inappropriate value was specified for the named option.

Action: Set a legal value for the option.

ORA-33213: (CINSERT06) The target position for MAINTAIN ADD or MAINTAIN MOVE cannot fall in the range of session-only values.

Cause: The user specified a BEFORE or AFTER clause specifying a position in the range of SESSION dimension values.

Action: Do not use a position clause, or specify a position before the first SESSION value.

ORA-33214: (CINSERT02) The workspace object dimension is too large.

Cause: The dimension has too many values.

Action: Deleted values can still take up space in the dimension and cause this error. Try removing the deleted values by exporting the dimension to EIF and reimporting it with the REPLACE DELETE option.

ORA-33215: (CINSERT07) You cannot add session-only values to the workspace object dimension.

Cause: The user tried to add a SESSION dimension value while a spreadsheet spreadsheet cursor was open.

Action: Try adding the SESSION value while the cursor is not active.

ORA-33217: (CINSERT20) Custom member values cannot be added to concat dimension workspace object, or to any of its bases, because it is not defined as UNIQUE.

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-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: When using the CURRENT OF <cursor name> syntax make sure it is the 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 was called. The current operation is aborted, and the Analytic Workspace detached.

Action: Import the object into an Analytic Workspace that does not already contain an object with the same name.

ORA-35062: (QFGET01) Duplicate files found for extension number number of EIF file string.

Cause: IMPORT searched the directories specified in EIFEXTENSIONPATH and found two EIF extension files with the same name (differing at most by the case used in the final name component.

Action: Delete, rename or move any files that are not to be read by IMPORT.

ORA-35066: (QFGET03) Extension number number is missing for EIF file string.

Cause: IMPORT searched the directories specified in EIFEXTENSIONPATH and 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.

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.

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-36184: (XSAGGR10) You do not have sufficient permissions for the variable workspace object.

Cause: The user lacked the permissions necessary for the aggregation variable.

Action: Remove the restricting permissions from the variable or base dimension.

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.

Action: Check the spelling of the operator to make sure you are specifying a valid one.

ORA-36204: (XSAGOP04N) In AGGMAP workspace object, the NAOPERATOR string must be HFIRST, HLAST or HEVEN.

Action: Specify HFIRST, HLAST or HEVEN.

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.

Action: Specify only dimensions in the valueset"s dimension list.

ORA-36272: (XSCGMDLAGG04) "workspace object" is not a valid operator for the AGGREGATION function.

Cause: An invalid AGGREGATION operator was specified.

Action: Correct the invalid operator.

ORA-36273: (XSCGMDLAGG12) Dimension workspace object appears more than once in the QDR.

Cause: A dimension was specified more than once in the QDR.

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.

Action: Try to acquire this object with resync parameter

ORA-37050: (XSMLTDCL06) You cannot use the RELATION command with workspace object because analytic workspace string is attached in MULTI mode.

Cause: One cannot use the RELATION command on objects in an analytic workspace attached in MULTI mode.

Action: Change the default relation when the analytic workspace is attached in RW or Exclusive mode.

ORA-37060: (XSMCSESS08) number is not a valid custom member in dimension workspace object.

Cause: Applied relation has the different dimension from the dimension currently being maintained

Action: Maintain relation dimension

ORA-37074: (XSMCSESS02) Variable workspace object has no default aggmap.

Cause: The applied variable has no default aggmap

Action: Use variable with the default aggmap or aggmap directly

ORA-37075: (XSMCSESS03) You cannot rename a session-only dimension value.

Cause: The user tried to apply MAINTAIN RENAME to a SESSION value.

Action: Delete the old value and add a new one with the desired name.

ORA-37076: (XSMCSESS04) workspace object is not the type of dimension that can have session-only values. Valid types are TEXT, NTEXT, ID, NUMBER, and CONCAT with the UNIQUE attribute.

Cause: The user tried to add a SESSION value to a dimension type that does not support SESSION values.

Action: Use a dimension of one of the listed types.

ORA-37077: (XSMCSESS05) Object workspace object is specified more than once.

Cause: The same object name was given more than once in the apply clause or in the step dimension list.

Action: Remove the repetitions.

ORA-37078: (XSMCSESS06) The dimension being maintained (workspace object) cannot also be used as a step dimension.

Cause: The dimension being maintained was named as a step dimension.

Action: Remove this dimension from the list of step dimensions.

ORA-37079: (XSMCSESS07) Aggmap workspace object cannot be used for AGGREGATE.

Cause: The current aggmap may be for ALLOCATE

Action: Choose the correct aggmap for AGGREGATE only.

ORA-37080: Advice requested for hierarchy with too many levels

Cause: A request was made for advice on a hierarchy with more levels than are supported.

Action: Only request advice for hierarchies with less than 32 levels.

ORA-37082: Invalid percent

Cause: A request was made for advice with an illegal percent value.

Action: Request between 0 and 100 percent precomputation.

ORA-37083: Invalid object string

Cause: A request was made for advice with an illegal object name.

Action: Request using valid object names.

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: 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-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: There was not enough flashback database log data to do the FLASHBACK DATABASE.

Action: If the database must be taken back in time then a restore and incomplete recovery must be performed.

ORA-38730: Invalid SCN/TIMESTAMP expression.

Cause: The expression supplied in a FLASHBACK DATABASE command was invalid.

Action: Retry the command using a valid number or time stamp expression.

ORA-38731: Expected version string does not match string in log header.

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.

Cause: The thread 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-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 <flashback-scn>.

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.

ORA-38856: cannot mark instance string (redo thread string) as enabled

Cause: The open resetlogs or standby activation 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.

ORA-38857: cannot mark redo thread string as enabled

Cause: The standby switchover or failover operation failed because it needs to mark a redo thread as enabled. However, the control file was recreated with a MAXINSTANCES value smaller than the thread number of the redo thread.

Action: Recreate the control file with a larger MAXINSTANCES value.

ORA-38858: cannot mark redo thread string as enabled

Cause: The open resetlogs or standby activation operation failed because it needs to mark a redo thread as enabled. However, the control file was recreated with a MAXINSTANCES value smaller than the thread number of the redo thread.

Action: Recreate the control file with a larger MAXINSTANCES value.

ORA-38859: instance string (thread string) is not ready to be disabled

Cause: The command attempted to switch the instance (thread) into a new log before disabling it. The switch attempt failed because all eligible online logs were either being cleared or not completely archived yet.

Action: Wait a few minutes and retry.

ORA-38860: cannot FLASHBACK DATABASE during instantiation of a logical standby

Cause: The command was not permitted because the controlfile indicates the database was in the process of becoming a logical standby database but the controlfile conversion had not completed.

Action: If in the process of creating a logical standby database, perform the remaining instantiation procedures to completion. If this flashback operation followed a Data Guard failure, permit the errant Data Guard operation to successfully complete. Once the instantiation is complete, reissue the flashback operation.

ORA-38861: flashback recovery stopped before reaching recovery target

Cause: Flashback recovery on the standby ended early because the user attempted to flashback to an SCN or time for which there were no redo logs. Most likely, the user is trying to flashback to a future time in the database that the database has never recovered through. Check the alert log to find out which SCN the database recovered to.

Action: Flashback to an older SCN or acquire the necessary redo logs.

ORA-38862: FLASHBACK DATABASE in progress

Cause: The operation could not be performed while FLASHBACK DATABASE was in progress.

Action: Wait for the FLASHBACK DATABASE to complete.

ORA-38900: missing mandatory column "string" of error log table "string"

Cause: Mandatory column of error logging table is not present

Action: Add the named column to the error logging table. Consult ORACLE documentation for the correct data type.

ORA-38901: column "string" of table "string" must be one of the first "number" columns

Cause: Mandatory information column of error logging table is present, but must be at the beginning of the row.

Action: Create the error logging table correctly. Consult ORACLE documentation for the correct format of an error logging table.

ORA-38902: errors in array insert exceed string

Cause: The operation failed because the array INSERT had more errors than can be stored internally for BATCH ERRORs.

Action: Do not use BATCH ERROR mode when array INSERT has more error rows than the number specified in the error.

ORA-38903: DML error logging is not supported for abstract column "string"

Cause: A DML Error Logging operation was attempted on a table which has an ADT, REF, VARRAY, or nested table column type, and the error logging table referred to the specified column.

Action: Either do not use DML Error Logging on such a table or remove the offending column from the error logging table. The scalar columns can be logged, but not abstract column types.

ORA-38904: DML error logging is not supported for LOB column "string"

Cause: A DML Error Logging operation was attempted on a table which has a CLOB, NCLOB, or BLOB column type, and the error logging table referred to the specified column.

Action: Either do not use DML Error Logging on such table or remove the offending column from the error logging table. The scalar columns can be logged, but not LOB column types.

ORA-38905: DML error logging is not supported for LONG column "string"

Cause: A DML Error Logging operation was attempted on a table which has a LONG, or LONG RAW column type, and the error logging table referred to the specified column.

Action: Either do not use DML Error Logging on such a table or remove the offending column from the error logging table. The scalar columns can be logged, but not long column types.

ORA-38906: insert into DML Error Logging table "string" failed

Cause: An error occurred when attempting to log a DML Error on behalf of the DML Error logging clause. This may be intended if a trigger is defined on the error table (which in turn errors out in certain cases).

Action: Determine root cause of error (in error stack).

ORA-38907: DML error logging is not supported for FILE column "string"

Cause: A DML Error Logging operation was attempted on a table which has a BFILE column and the Error Logging table referred to the specified column.

Action: Either don"t use DML Error Logging on such table or remove the offending column from the error logging table. The scalar columns can be logged, but not BFILE column types.

ORA-38908: internal error occurred during DML Error Logging

Cause: An unexpected error occurred while executing recursive SQL to insert a row into the DML Error Logging table.

Action: Report this error to Oracle Support.

EXP-00064: %s is an inner nested table and cannot be exported.

Cause: An attempt was made to export an inner nested table without its parent table.

Action: Export the parent of the inner nested table.

EXP-00065: Error writing lob to the dump file.

Cause: The current LOB could not be written to the dump file.

Action: Identify the cause of the write failure and fix it.

EXP-00066: Object table string is missing its object identifier index

Cause: All object tables must have an object identifier index, but the specified table was missing an index on its object identifier column.

Action: Recreate the type table and retry the operation.

EXP-00068: tablespace string is offline

Cause: Export failed to export tablespace (tablespace being offline).

Action: Make tablespace online and re export.

EXP-00070: attempt to free unallocated memory

Cause: An attempt was made to free memory that was not allocated.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support

EXP-00071: QUERY parameter not compatible with Direct Path export

Cause: You specified a value for the QUERY parameter for a direct path export. The QUERY parameter cannot be used with a direct path export.

Action: Re-issue the export command with DIRECT=N or omit the DIRECT parameter from the command line.

EXP-00072: error closing export file string

Cause: An error occurred while trying to close the export file.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

EXP-00073: dump file size too small

Cause: You specified either the FILESIZE parameter or the VOLSIZE parameter (if your platform supports it), and the value of the parameter is too small to hold the header information for the export file, plus any data.

Action: Increase the value of the FILESIZE or VOLSIZE parameter.

EXP-00074: rounding VOLSIZE down, new value is string

Cause: The VOLSIZE parameter must be a multiple of the RECORDLENGTH, but the value you specified for VOLSIZE does not meet this requirement. The value of VOLSIZE has been rounded down to be a multiple of the RECORDLENGTH used for the dump file.

Action: No action is required. You can adjust the VOLSIZE or RECORDLENGTH parameter to avoid this message. When importing this file, you must specify the VOLSIZE value reported by this message.

EXP-00075: rounding FILESIZE down, new value is string

Cause: The FILESIZE parameter must be a multiple of the RECORDLENGTH, but the value you specified for FILESIZE does not meet this requirement. The value of FILESIZE has been rounded down to be a multiple of the RECORDLENGTH used for the dump file.

Action: No action is required. You can adjust the FILESIZE or RECORDLENGTH parameter to avoid this message. When importing this file, you must specify the FILESIZE value reported by this message.

EXP-00076: multiple devices specified for tape output

Cause: You specified multiple file names when doing an export to a tape device. EXPORT uses the same device for writing all files, of the number of tape volumes required. For this reason, export will accept only one value for the FILE parameter when writing to tape.

Action: Reenter the EXPORT command, but specify only one tape device in the FILE parameter.

EXP-00077: multiple output files specified for unbounded export file

Cause: You specified multiple file names when doing an export and you also specified a value of 0 for the FILESIZE parameter. Note that 0 is the value used if FILESIZE is not specified on the command line. Since a value of 0 for FILESIZE means that only one file will be written and there is no size limit for that file, the other files you specified in the FILE parameter can never be used.

Action: If you intended to write multiple files, respecify the command but use the FILESIZE to specify the maximum number of bytes that EXPORT should write to each file. If you intended to write only one file with no limits on it"s size, reissue the EXPORT command but specify only one file name for the FILE parameter.

EXP-00078: Error exporting metadata for index string. Index creation will be skipped

Cause: Domain indexes export private metadata via anonymous PL/SQL blocks prior to the CREATE INDEX statement. Export does this by calling the ODCIIndexGetMetadata method on the implementation type associated with the index. A problem occurred inside this routine. Because the metadata is considered an integral part of the index, the CREATE INDEX statement was not written to the dump file.

Action: Contact the developer of the index"s implementation type. If this is an Oracle-supplied index (perhaps via a data cartridge), contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

EXP-00079: Data in table "string" is protected. Conventional path may only be exporting partial table.

Cause: User without the execute privilege on DBMS_RLS, the access control package, tries to export a table that has access control. Since table owner is also subjected to access control, the owner may not be able to export all rows in the table, but only the ones he can see. Also, to preserve integrity of the table, user exporting the table should have enough privilege to recreate the table with the security policies at import time. Therefore, it is strongly recommended the database administrator should be handling exporting of this table. Granting the table owner execute privilege would also satisfy this security check, though it might have other security implications. If the table does not have objects, can use direct mode.

Action: Ask the database administrator to export/import this table/view.

EXP-00080: Data in table "string" is protected. Using conventional mode.

Cause: User without the execute privilege on DBMS_RLS, the access control package, tries to direct export a table that has access control enabled. Using conventional export mode instead. Note that because of access control, only a partial table may be exported.

Action: Ask the database administrator to export/import this table/view.

EXP-00081: Exporting access control for table/view "string" as non-DBA.

Cause: A non-DBA user tries to export table/view and the associated fine grain access control policies. The user may not have enough privilege to recreate the access control policies when importing the table/view. And such an event may cause inconsistency in the security model of the table/view.

Action: Ask the database administrator to export/import this table/view.

EXP-00082: Invalid function name passed to procedural object support: string

Cause: Internal inconsistency error: The listed function is not a method on export"s procedural object interface specification.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support

EXP-00083: The previous problem occurred when calling string.string.string

Cause: The listed package provides export/import support for procedural

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support. Most packages are supplied by Oracle internal cartridge or server development groups. The package name will help Support determine the correct owner of the problem.

EXP-00084: Unexpected DbmsJava error number at step number

Cause: The error was returned from a call to a DbmsJava procedure.

Action: Record the accompanying messages and report this as an Export internal error to customer support.

EXP-00085: The previous problem occurred when calling string.string.string for object number

Cause: The listed package provides export/import support for procedural objects, i.e, those whose DDL is supplied by stored procedures. The previously listed error occurred while calling the specified function.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support. Most packages are supplied by Oracle internal cartridge or server development groups. The package name will help Support determine the correct owner of the problem.

EXP-00086: Primary key REFs in table "string"may not be valid on import

Cause: The specified table contains primary key REFs which may not be valid in the import database.

Action: Do not use Export/Import to move Primary key REFs between databases having differing character sets.

EXP-00087: Problem with internal hash table of schema/table names

Cause: Most likely a problem with allocating memory for the hash table entries.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support NLS_DO_NOT_TRANSLATE [88,88]

EXP-00089: invalid FILE_FORMAT specification

Cause: The FILE_FORMAT specification did not contain an instance of "%s". This wildcard string must be present.

Action: Correct the error and reenter the EXPORT command.

EXP-00090: cannot pin type "string"."string"

Cause: Export was unable to pin the specified type in the object cache. This is typically caused because a type could not be made valid (for example because of authorization violations in accessing subtypes).

Action: Fix the problem with the offending type until the type can be successfully compiled.

EXP-00091: Exporting questionable statistics.

Cause: Export was able export statistics, but the statistics may not be usuable. The statistics are questionable because one or more of the following happened during export: a row error occurred, client character set or NCHARSET does not match with the server, a query clause was specified on export, only certain partitions or subpartitions were exported, or a fatal error occurred while processing a table.

Action: To export non-questionable statistics, change the client character set or NCHARSET to match the server, export with no query clause, export complete tables. If desired, import parameters can be supplied so that only non-questionable statistics will be imported, and all questionable statistics will be recalculated.

EXP-00092: Unable to set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to required defaults.

Cause: Export was unable to set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to ".,"

Action: Record the accompanying messages and report this as an Export internal error to customer support.

EXP-00093: Could not convert to server character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

EXP-00094: Could not convert to server national character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

EXP-00095: Flashback_time and Flashback_scn are not compatible

Cause: Both flashback_time and flashback_scn paramerers were specified.

Action: Reissue command with only one flashback parameter.

EXP-00097: Object type "string"."string" is not in a valid state, type will not be exported

Cause: The object type"s status is invalid which may be caused by a dependant type"s modification (or removal) without cascading the change.

Action: The type must be recompiled using ALTER TYPE COMPILE.

EXP-00098: Data in table has not been upgraded, table will not be exported

Cause: Export is attempting to process a table containing references to a type which has evolved. In order for Export to process the table successfully, all data within each table must be upgraded to the latest revision of each referenced type.

Action: The table must be updated using ALTER TABLE UPGRADE DATA.

EXP-00099: Table "string"."string" is not in a valid state, table will not be exported

Cause: A table or one of its dependant types has modified without cascading the change. This left the table in an INVALID state.

Action: The table must be updated using ALTER TABLE UPDATE.

EXP-00100: error converting an object type"s hashcode to characters

Cause: An invalid length of an object type identifier prevented its conversion.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support

EXP-00101: Version 1 extensible index "string"."string" can not be included in Transportable Tablespace Export

Cause: Transporable Tablespace extensible indexes must be at least version 2.

Action: Upgrade extensibile index implementation to version 2 specifications.

EXP-00102: Resumable parameters ignored -- current session not resumable

Cause: Current session is not resumable.

Action: Must specify RESUMABLE=Y to enable resumable session in order for the RESUMABLE_NAME and RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT parameters to take effect.

EXP-00103: The FLASHBACK_TIME parameter was invalid

Cause: FLASHBACK_TIME did not contain a valid timestamp or an expression that yields a valid timestamp.

Action: Specify a timestamp value in the format of YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS or an expression that evaluates to a valid timestamp.

EXP-00104: datatype (string) of column string in table string.string is not supported, table will not be exported

Cause: The column is of a datatype which does not contain the required support. The table will not be exported.

Action: Use the Data Pump version of Export to export this table.

EXP-00105: parameter string is not supported for this user

Cause: The user attempted to specify either CONSISTENT or OBJECT_CONSISTENT when connected as sysdba.

Action: If a consistent export is needed, then connect as another user.

EXP-00106: Invalid Database Link Passwords

Cause: Invalid Encoded Password for Database Link

Action: Please drop the Database Link and recreate it after import.

EXP-00107: Feature (string) of column string in table string.string is not supported. The table will not be exported.

Cause: Export does not contain the required support for this feature. The table will not be exported.

Action: Use the Data Pump version of Export to export this table.

IMP-00007: must be a DBA to import objects to another user"s account

Cause: The privileges needed to import into another user"s account do not exist. Only a database administrator can import into another user"s account.

Action: Ask the database administrator to do the import.

IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file: string

Cause: Import did not recognize a statement in the export file. Either the export file was corrupted, or an Import internal error has occurred.

Action: If the export file was corrupted, retry with a new export file. Otherwise, report this as an Import internal error and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00009: abnormal end of export file

Cause: The export file is probably from an aborted Export session.

Action: If so, retry the export and import. Otherwise, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file that caused this error to customer support.

IMP-00010: not a valid export file, header failed verification

Cause: Either the file was not generated by Export or it was corrupted.

Action: If the file was indeed generated by Export, report this an Import bug and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00011: formatted table data not currently supported

Cause: You tried to import an export file that contains formatted table data. Import only supports export files containing binary table data. wher

Action: Retry using an export file that contains only binary table data.

IMP-00012: invalid export mode (character) in header

Cause: The Export mode specified in the export file header is invalid.

Action: Check the export file to see if it was corrupted. If it was not, report this as an Import bug and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00013: only a DBA can import a file exported by another DBA

Cause: The privileges needed to Import an export file generated by a database administrator do not exist. Only a database administrator can import such files.

Action: Ask the database administrator to do the import.

IMP-00014: option "string" is needed, but not present in database

Cause: The command entered requires the specified option. Either that option is not installed, or the row describing the option is missing from table V$OPTION

Action: Reinstall Oracle with the option specified by the message.

IMP-00015: following statement failed because the object already exists:

Cause: Import failed to create an object because it already exists.

Action: Specify IGNORE=Y to ignore such errors and import rows even when tables are not created because they already exist.

IMP-00016: required character set conversion (type number to number) not supported

Cause: Import could not convert the character format of the export file into the native character format.

Action: Change the user character set by setting the NLS_LANG environment variable to match the character set of the export file.

IMP-00017: following statement failed with ORACLE error number:

Cause: Import failed to execute the statement from the export file because of an Oracle error.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00018: partial import of previous table completed: number rows imported

Cause: A table was only partially imported because of an Oracle error.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00019: row rejected due to ORACLE error number

Cause: Import encountered the referenced Oracle error while trying to import a row.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action.

IMP-00020: long column too large for column buffer size (number)

Cause: The column buffer is too small. This usually occurs when importing LONG data.

Action: Increase the insert buffer size 10,000 bytes at a time (for example). Use this step-by-step approach because a buffer size that is too large may cause a similar problem.

IMP-00021: INCTYPE parameter is obsolete

Cause: Import encountered the INCTYPE parameter when parsing Import options. Incremental Imports are no longer supported.

Action: Consult the Oracle Backup and Recovery guide. Import will attempt to continue.

IMP-00022: failed to process parameters, type "IMP HELP=Y" for help

Cause: Invalid command-line parameters were specified.

Action: Check the online help screen for the set of valid parameters, then retry.

IMP-00023: Import views not installed, please notify your DBA

Cause: The necessary Import views were not installed.

Action: Ask your database administrator to install the required Import views.

IMP-00024: Only one mode (TABLES, FROMUSER, or FULL) can be specified

Cause: Parameters were specified that conflict with the import specification FULL=Y.

Action: Retry, making sure not to specify FULL=Y.

IMP-00025: for DBA export files, FROMUSER must be specified with TOUSER option

Cause: When importing a database administrator export file, you specified the TOUSER parameter but not the FROMUSER parameter.

Action: Specify the FROMUSER parameter so that Import knows which user"s objects to import.

IMP-00027: failed to rollback partial import of previous table

Cause: Import encountered an Oracle error while trying to roll back a partial import.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action. Then, log on to Oracle and check that the partial import was not committed.

IMP-00028: partial import of previous table rolled back: number rows rolled back

Cause: Import encountered an Oracle error while trying to import a table.

Action: Look up the accompanying Oracle message in the ORA message chapters of this manual and take appropriate action. Then, if necessary, re-import the table.

IMP-00029: cannot qualify table name by owner (string), use FROMUSER parameter

Cause: A table name was qualified with the name of its owner, as shown in the following example. This is not allowed. IMP SYSTEM/MANAGER TABLES=(SCOTT.EMP)

Action: Use the FROMUSER parameter to specify the table"s owner, as shown in the following example: IMP SYSTEM/MANAGER FROMUSER=SCOTT TABLES=(EMP, DEPT)

IMP-00030: failed to create file string for write

Cause: Import was unable to create the specified file with write enabled.

Action: Check the file name and file system for the source of the error.

IMP-00031: Must specify FULL=Y or provide FROMUSER/TOUSER or TABLES arguments

Cause: The database administrator did not specify full or partial import.

Action: The database administrator must specify FROMUSER/TOUSER or table arguments if not a full import.

IMP-00032: SQL statement exceeded buffer length

Cause: The buffer was too small for the SQL statement being read.

Action: Rerun with a larger buffer. This can also be an indication of a corruption in the import datafile.

IMP-00033: Warning: Table "string" not found in export file

Cause: A table name was specified that does not exist in export file.

Action: Correct the table specification.

IMP-00034: Warning: FromUser "string" not found in export file

Cause: The user specified a FROMUSER name that does not exist in export file.

Action: Correct the FROMUSER specification.

IMP-00035: input file string must be on a disk

Cause: On some platforms, import can read files from tape. This message is displayed if the first file in an export file set was on disk and you specified a tape device for a second or subsequent file.

Action: Verify that you have specified the correct file name for the import file. Remember that all input files can be either on disk or all files can be on tape, but not mixed both tape and disk.

IMP-00036: Could not find environment character set

Cause: An environment character set was specified that was not recognized by the Import utility.

Action: Ensure that the spelling of the character set specified in the command line parameter CHARSET (for Release 6 only) or the environment variable NLS_LANG is correct.

IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown

Cause: The export file is corrupted.

Action: Try to obtain an uncorrupted version of the export file. If the export file is not corrupted, report this as an Import internal error and submit the export file to customer support.

IMP-00038: Could not convert to environment character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide Support.

IMP-00039: VOLSIZE does not match the value used for export: string

Cause: The value specified for VOLSIZE does not match the value specified during the creation of the export file.

Action: If you believe that the specified VOLSIZE value is correct, verify that you specified the correct file for import. If you specified the correct file but are unsure about the correct value, re-execute the import command but specify VOLSIZE=0.

IMP-00040: FILESIZE does not match the value used for export: string

Cause: The value specified for FILESIZE does not match the value specified during the creation of the export file.

Action: If you believe the specified FILESIZE value is correct, verify that you specified the correct file for import. If you specified the correct file but are unsure about the correct value, re-execute the import command but specify FILESIZE=0.

IMP-00041: Warning: object created with compilation warnings

Cause: The object in the SQL statement following this error was created with compilation errors. If this error occurred for a view, it is possible that the base table of the view was missing.

Action: This is a warning. The object may have to be recompiled before being used.

IMP-00042: CHARSET used, but the export file has specific character set

Cause: The user requested that a specific character set be used to process an export file that has a specific embedded character set ID. The ID in the export file is accurate and should be used.

Action: Remove the CHARSET keyword from the command line.

IMP-00043: export file character set inconsistent

Cause: The character set of the export file and the environment character set (or the character set specified with the CHARSET keyword) are inconsistent. One character set is ASCII-based while the other is EBCDIC based.

Action: Specify the correct character set with the CHARSET keyword.

IMP-00044: unable to allocate enough memory for statement

Cause: Import was unable to allocate sufficient memory to read in the specified statement and execute it.

Action: Increase the allocation for database buffers, restart the instance, and reexecute the Import command.

IMP-00045: using VOLSIZE value from export file of string

Cause: Either you did not specify the VOLSIZE parameter in your IMPORT command, or you specified VOLSIZE=0 and the export was created with a non-zero value for VOLSIZE. Import will use the value specified in the export file.

Action: None required.

IMP-00046: using FILESIZE value from export file of string

Cause: Either you did not specify the FILESIZE parameter in your IMPORT command, or you specified FILESIZE=0 and the export file was created with a non-zero value for FILESIZE. Import will use the value specified in the export file.

Action: None required.

IMP-00047: unexpected file sequence number; expected number but found number

Cause: The header in the export file contains a sequence number that is used to track the order in which multiple export files are written. The first export file is assigned sequence number one, the second file is assigned sequence number two and so on. This message is displayed when a number other than the expected sequence number is found in the file header

Action: Execute the import command again, but specify the files in the order in which Export wrote them.

IMP-00048: mismatched file header

Cause: During verification of the 2nd or subsequent file in a multi-file export, Import found header fields in the file that did not match values in the first file.

Action: Check the names of the files created by Export and verify that you specified them correctly for the import operation.

IMP-00049: Unknown language specified in CHARSET

Cause: An unknown language was listed in the CHARSET option.

Action: Use a known character set.

IMP-00050: Dump file and log file cannot be identical

Cause: Identical names were given to the dump file and log file.

Action: Specify different names for the dump file and log file and retry the operation.

IMP-00051: Direct path exported dump file contains illegal column length

Cause: An invalid column length was encountered while processing column pieces."

Action: Check to make sure the export file is not corrupted, or else report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import/Export internal bug and submit the export file.

IMP-00052: Warning: Unable to set event for freelist communication with server

Cause: An event could not be set for current the session.

Action: If Import fails, give the Import user ALTER SESSION PRIV and retry the operation.

IMP-00053: Import mode incompatible with Export dump file

Cause: The specified import option is incompatible with point-in-time- recovery dump file.

Action: Generate a proper dump file or use point-in-time-recovery import mode.

IMP-00054: must be connected "AS SYSDBA" to do Point-in-time Recovery or Transportable Tablespace import

Cause: The user must log in "as SYSDBA" to perform transportable tablespace imports or Point-In-Time Recovery imports.

Action: Ask your database adminstrator to perform the Transportable Tablespace import or the Tablespace Point-in-time Recovery import.

IMP-00055: Warning: partition or subpartition "string":"string" not found in export file

Cause: A partition or subpartition name was specified that does not exist in export file.

Action: Check to make sure the partition or subpartition name belongs to the table.

IMP-00056: multiple devices specified for tape input

Cause: You specified multiple file names when doing an import from a tape device. Import uses the same device for reading all tapes, regardless of the number of tape volumes required. For this reason, export will accept only one value for the FILE parameter when writing to tape.

Action: Reenter the IMPORT command, but specify only one tape device in the FILE parameter.

IMP-00057: Warning: Dump file may not contain data of all partitions of this table

Cause: The dump file used for this Table Import might not contain all of the data belonging to the exported table.

Action: Check to see if the export was done as intended, or try performing a Partition Import.

IMP-00059: Failure to initialize parameter manager

Cause: Parameter manager failed in initialization.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal bug.

IMP-00060: Warning: Skipping table "string"."string" because object type "string"."string" does not exist or has different identifier

Cause: An object type needed by the table, either does not exist on the
* target system or, if it does exist, it has a different object identifier.

Action: Create the object type on the target system with a valid
* identifier.

IMP-00061: Warning: Object type "string"."string" already exists with a different identifier

Cause: An object type cannot be created because it already exists on the
* target system, but with a different identifier

Action: Drop the object type from the target system and retry the operation.

IMP-00062: Warning: The identifier on the dump file for object type "string"."string" is invalid

Cause: The character string representing the object type"s identifier
* could not be converted to an object identifier.

Action: Internal error.

IMP-00063: Warning: Skipping table "string"."string" because object type "string"."string" cannot be created or has different identifier

Cause: An error occurred creating an object type that is used by the
* table.

Action: Examine the import log to determine why the object type could not
* be created. If the object type already existed, with a

* different object identifier, then drop the object type and

* retry the import.

IMP-00064: Definition of LOB was truncated by export

Cause: While producing the dump file, Export was unable to write the
* entire contents of a LOB. Import is therefore unable to

* reconstruct the contents of the LOB. The remainder of the

* import of the current table will be skipped.

Action: Delete the offending row in the exported database and retry the
* export.

IMP-00065: Import is unable to recreate lobs within objects.

Cause: An error occurred recreating a LOB within an imported object.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00066: Missing NLS_CHARACTERSET in props$

Cause: No value for NLS_CHARACTERSET in props$.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00067: Could not convert to server character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00068: Could not find environment national character set

Cause: An environment national character set was specified that was not recognized by the Import utility.

Action: Ensure that the spelling of the national character set specified in the environment variable NLS_NCHAR is correct.

IMP-00069: Could not convert to environment national character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error..

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00070: Lob definitions in dump file are inconsistent with database.

Cause: The number of LOBS per row in the dump file is different than the
* number of LOBS per row in the table being populated.

Action: Modify the table being imported so that it matches the column
* attribute layout of the table that was exported.

IMP-00071: Object identifier of imported table mismatches object identifier of existing table

Cause: An attempt was made to import data into a table that was recreated under a different object identifier than the object identifier used for the exported object table. Under this situation, REF"s to this table that are contained within the dump file will also be invalid.

Action: Drop the offending object table prior to import.

IMP-00072: Warning: The object table"s object identifier is invalid.

Cause: The character string representing the table"s object identifier could not be converted to an internal object identifier.

Action: Internal error.

IMP-00073: FILE locator "string" "string" is truncated to "string" "string" in server character set

Cause: The conversion of the specified directory and name strings for a file attribute or column from the export server"s character set into the import server"s character set exceeded the maximum string lengths allowed within FILE descriptors. The strings will be truncated to the maximum supported lengths.

Action: Rename the directory aliases and external filenames to match the truncated names in the specified FILE column or attribute.

IMP-00074: The constraints flagged by ALL_CONSTRAINTS.BAD will break in 2000 A.D.

Cause: Constraints exist in the data base that specify date values without fully specifying the year. These constraints could break in the year 2000 A.D.

Action: Query ALL_CONSTRAINTS and correct those constraints marked as bad.

IMP-00075: Warning: The nested table may contain partial rows or duplicate rows

Cause: An error occurred inserting data into an outer or inner nested table. If the error occurred in the outer table, rows are still inserted into the inner tables. If the error occurred in an inner table, data is still inserted into the outer table and other inner tables. This can result in duplicate inner table rows or partial logical rows.

Action: Examine the data in the tables. Delete the incorrect rows or drop the entire table and perform the import again.

IMP-00076: Missing NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in props$

Cause: No value for NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET in props$.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00077: Could not convert to server national character set"s handle

Cause: Internal error.

Action: Contact Worldwide support.

IMP-00078: Cannot translate FILE locator to "string" "string" in server character set

Cause: (1) The current export dump file was generated using Beta-2 of Oracle8.0 AND (2) there was a File that appeared as an an attribute of an ADT within a table"s column AND (3) the character set of the export server"s database was different than the character set of the import server"s database AND (4) when the filename or the aliasname of the File increased in size when it was translated to the character set of the import server. When all of these conditions are true, translation of the strings could yield corruption of the data in the column. Rather than proceeding with the translation, import will leave the character strings in the File in the old character set.

Action: After import completes, rename the directory aliases and external filenames to match the real names used for the target database.

IMP-00079: Warning: National character set data in this table may be incorrect

Cause: Due to a problem in 8.0.2 Export, national character data in NCHAR and NVARCHAR2 columns was incorrectly assumed to be in the export server"s data base character set and was converted to the export client"s data base character set. This conversion would only be correct if the export server"s data base character set was the same as the export server"s national character set and the export client"s data base character set was the same as the export client"s national character set. All other combinations would likely be incorrect. This export dump file was generated by 8.0.2 Export and the export client and server characater sets did not fit that criteria.

Action: Examine the national character data. If incorrect, update the data with correct data.

IMP-00080: Error during character conversion of long column or long command

Cause: During piecewise character conversion of the data in a long column or of a long command, a fatal conversion error occurred. Either character truncation occurred or an invalid character set handle was used.

Action: Retry the import with a different character set.

IMP-00081: attempt to free unallocated memory

Cause: An attempt was made to free memory that was not allocated.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support

IMP-00082: Error during conversion ROWID from string format to internal

Cause: An error occured while attempting to to convert a ROWID from an export dump file into an internal format.

Action: Report this to Oracle Worldwide Support as an Import internal error.

IMP-00083: dump file does not contain an incremental export

Cause: An incremental import was requested and the dump file specified for the import command is either a user or table export.

Action: Reissue the command import command but specify the name of a dump file containing an incremental export.

IMP-00084: attempt to mix incremental import with user or table import

Cause: An incremental import was requested along with the FROMUSER, TOUSER, or TABLE qualifier. An incremental import cannot be done if any of these other qualifiers are also specified.

Action: Determine whether you want to do an incremental import, full import, user import or table import and reissue the import command with the appropriate qualifiers.

IMP-00085: multiple input files specified for unbounded export file

Cause: You specified multiple file names for the FILE parameter when doing an import, but the header in the export file indicates that that the export operation could create only one file. Specifying multiple file names is valid for an import operation only if the export files were created by an export operation in which the user specified a non-zero value for the FILESIZE parameter.

Action: If you believe the export contains multiple files, verify that you have specified the correct files. If you believe the export should be in only one file then try the import operation again, but specify only one value for the FILE parameter.

IMP-00086: TOID "string" not found in export file

Cause: Import did not find the type identification specified in the TOID_NOVALIDATE parameter. The specified type identification does not exist in export file.

Action: Correct or omit the TOID_NOVALIDATE parameter.

IMP-00087: Problem with internal hash table of schema/table names

Cause: Most likely a problem with allocating memory for the hash table entries.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support

IMP-00088: Problem importing metadata for index string. Index creation will be skipped

Cause: Domain indexes import private metadata via anonymous PL/SQL blocks prior to the CREATE INDEX statement. The execution of one of these PL/SQL blocks failed. Because the metadata is considered an integral part of the index, the subsequent CREATE INDEX statement was skipped.

Action: Contact the developer of the index"s implementation type. If this is an Oracle-supplied index (perhaps via a data cartridge), contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00089: Fine grain policy "string" not recreated on table/view "string"

Cause: Import user fails to recreate fine grained policies of the table/view being imported. To recreate the policy, the user doing the import needs execute privilege on the package DBMS_RLS for access policies or DBMS_FGA for audit policies.

Action: Ask the database administrator to perform the export/import of this table/view.

IMP-00090: Unexpected DbmsJava error number at step number while creating string

Cause: The error was returned from a call to a DbmsJava procedure.

Action: Record the accompanying messages and report this as an Import internal error to customer support.

IMP-00091: Above error occurred on the following function and object: string. Remaining PL/SQL blocks for this object will be skipped.

Cause: An error occurred while executing a PL/SQL block that implements the DDL for the named function and procedural object. A procedural object is one whose DDL is implemented as stored procedures rather than as standard SQL statements.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support so they may determine the development group responsible for the package that failed.

IMP-00092: Java object "string"."string" already exists, cannot be created

Cause: Import failed to create the Java source, class or resource object because it already exists.

Action: Drop the object type from the target system and retry the operation.

IMP-00093: Inconsistency between dumpfile constraint definition for table string with columns (string)

Cause: Import failed to locate a base table for a constraint that was defined in the dump file and statistics were not imported.

Action: Check to see if the table and constraint exist. If the table and constraint exist, then report this to Oracle Support Services as an Import internal error.

IMP-00094: Warning: The identifier on the dump file for object type "string"."string" is invalid

Cause: The character string representing the object type"s identifier
* could not be converted.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00095: Resumable parameters ignored -- current session not resumable

Cause: Current session is not resumable.

Action: Must specify RESUMABLE=Y to enable resumable session in order for the RESUMABLE_NAME and RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT parameters to take effect.

IMP-00096: Warning: Skipping table "string"."string" because type synonym "string"."string" cannot be created

Cause: An error occurred creating a synonym for a type that is used by the
* table.

Action: Examine the import log to determine why the type synonym could
* not be created. If the synonym already existed, but is not

* needed, then drop the synonym and retry the import. If the

* synonym is PUBLIC but the importer does not have the

* CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM system privilege, then the import must

* be done by someone possessing that privilege, or the importer

* must be granted the privilege.

IMP-00097: STREAMS_CONFIGURATION=Y ignored, only valid with FULL=Y

Cause: STREAMS_CONFIGURATION=Y can only be used
* when FULL=Y is present on the command line

Action: Remove conflicting command arguments

IMP-00098: INTERNAL ERROR: string

Cause: An INTERNAL error occurred.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00099: Warning: The typeid in the dump file for object type "string"."string" is invalid

Cause: The character string representing the object type"s identifier
* could not be converted.

Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

IMP-00400: Warning: Object type "string"."string" already exists with a different typeid

Cause: An object type could not be created because it already existed on the
* target system, but with a different typeid

Action: Drop the object type from the target system and retry the operation.

IMP-00401: dump file "string" may be an Data Pump export dump file

Cause: A dump file was specified for an import operation which appears to have been created using the Data Pump export utility. These dump files cannot be processed by the original import utility.

Action: Try using the Data Pump import utility to process this dump file.

23 SQL*Loader-00100 to SQL*Loader-03120

Cause: The command line argument for skip_unusable_indexes is incorrect.

Action: Use only TRUE or FALSE as the value for the skip_unusable_indexes option.

SQL*Loader-00122: Invalid skip_index_maintenance option

Cause: The command line argument for skip_index_maintenance is incorrect.

Action: Use only true or falseas the value for the skip_index_maintenance option. (Note: only on direct loads!)

SQL*Loader-00123: specified value for bindsize(number) less than readsize(number)

Cause: The command line argument specified for bindsize was less than the value of readsize.

Action: No action is required. SQL*Loader automatically adjusts the value of bindsize to equal the value of readsize.

SQL*Loader-00124: specified value for readsize(number) less than bindsize(number)

Cause: The command line argument specified for readsize was less than the value of bindsize.

Action: No action is required. SQL*Loader automatically adjusts the value of readsize to equal the value of bindsize.

SQL*Loader-00125: specified value for readsize(number) less than max_record_size(number)

Cause: The command line argument specified for readsize was less than the value of max_record_size.

Action: No action is required. SQL*Loader automatically adjusts the value of readsize to equal the value of max_record_size.

SQL*Loader-00126: Invalid read size

Cause: The argument"s value is inappropriate, or another argument (not identified by a keyword) is in its place.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00127: Invalid maximum record size

Cause: The argument"s value is inappropriate, or another argument (not identified by a keyword) is in its place.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00128: unable to begin a session

Cause: An error occurred when attempting to start a session on the database.

Action: See the message that follows this message for information on the cause of the error.

SQL*Loader-00129: Invalid number of rows for direct path column array

Cause: The argument"s value is inappropriate

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00130: Invalid direct path stream size

Cause: The argument"s value is inappropriate

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00131: Invalid multithreading option

Cause: The only valid options for the MULTITHREADING command-line argument are TRUE or FALSE. The argument could be misspelled, or another argument (not identified by a keyword) could be in its place.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00132: invalid argument for external table option

Cause: The command line argument specified for external_tables was not TRUE or FALSE

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00133: Can"t specify both direct path and external tables

Cause: Both options for direct path and exrernal tables were indicated. Only one of these can be applied at a time.

Action: Change at least one of the parameters to enable only one.

SQL*Loader-00134: invalid option specified for EXTERNAL_TABLE parameter

Cause: An invalid value was specified for the EXTERNAL_TABLE parameter.

Action: Specify one of the following values. NOT_USED disables use of external tables. GENERATE_ONLY generates the SQL statements that will use external tables to load the data. EXECUTE both generates the SQL statements and then executes them.

SQL*Loader-00135: Invalid argument for RESUMABLE

Cause: The command line argument specified for RESUMABLE was not TRUE or FALSE.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00136: Invalid argument for RESUMABLE_NAME

Cause: The command line argument specified for RESUMABLE_NAME was not a valid string.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00137: Invalid value for RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT

Cause: The command line argument specified for RESUMABLE_TIMEOUT was not a valid positive integer.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00138: Invalid value for DATE_CACHE

Cause: The command line argument specified for DATE_CACHE was not a valid positive integer.

Action: Check the command line and retry.

SQL*Loader-00200: FORMAT clause should not be present - flat data files only

Cause: SQL/DS FORMAT clause is not supported.

Action: Remove the FORMAT command from the SQL*Loader control file or

SQL*Loader-00250: Work data sets are not used by SQL*Loader

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a WRKDDN statement. SQL*Loader ignores this clause.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

SQL*Loader-00251: Sort devices are not used by SQL*Loader

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a SORTDEVT statement. SQL*Loader ignores this clause.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

SQL*Loader-00252: Sort data sets are not used by SQL*Loader

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a SORTNUM statement. SQL*Loader ignores this clause.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

SQL*Loader-00253: DB2 partition number has no significance -- ignored

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a PART statement. SQL*Loader ignores this clause.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

SQL*Loader-00254: Cannot have DISCARDFILE specs here when multiple data files

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contained multiple INFILE statements and a DISCARDFILE statement was found below the RESUME clause.

Action: Move the DISCARDFILE statement above the RESUME clause, so it is adjacent to one of the INFILE statements.

SQL*Loader-00255: Log file for error recovery not used by SQL*Loader

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a LOG statement. SQL*Loader ignores this clause.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

SQL*Loader-00256: SORTED INDEXES option allowed only for direct path

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a SORTED INDEXES statement, but it was not used in a direct path load.

Action: Specify a direct path load with DIRECT=TRUE on the command line, remove the statement from the SQL*Loader control file, or

SQL*Loader-00257: TERMINATED BY EOF option not valid with ENCLOSED BY option

Cause: A field description in the SQL*Loader control file contains both the TERMINATED BY EOF and the ENCLOSED BY options. These options are mutually exclusive.

Action: Remove either or both of the clauses.

SQL*Loader-00258: Maximum number of SORTED INDEXES (number) exceeded on table string

Cause: There are too many indexes in the SORTED INDEX clause. The message displays the maximum number that are permitted.

Action: Reduce the number of indexes specified in the SORTED INDEX clause or use the conventional path load instead of the direct path load.

SQL*Loader-00259: Could not escalate DDL share lock to exclusive on table string

Cause: This error occurs when another user has a parse lock on the table, for example, when another user is doing a select on the table. The parse lock should clear momentarily.

Action: Give the parse lock a chance to clear and then retry or else use the conventional path load.

SQL*Loader-00260: TERMINATED BY EOF option available only with LOBFILE option

Cause: The TERMINATED BY EOF option can be used only when describing data to be loaded from a LOBFILE. It cannot be specified at the table level and it cannot be for data in "regular" data files.

Action: Verify that you have specified the correct option for TERMINATED BY and verify that the TERMINATED BY option is specified for the correct fields.

SQL*Loader-00261: illegal use of TERMINATED BY for RAW field

Cause: The TERMINATED BY option cannot be used for loading data of type RAW from the data file. The only exception is when loading RAW data from LOBFILES. In that case, you may specify the TERMINATED BY EOF option.

Action: Remove the TERMINATED BY option from the RAW field in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00262: PIECED keyword (on column string) allowed only when path is direct

Cause: The PIECED keyword cannot be used in a conventional path load.

Action: Remove the PIECED keyword or use the direct path load.

SQL*Loader-00263: PIECED column string must be last specified column in table string

Cause: A column that is not the last column was specified as PIECED.

Action: Remove the PIECED keyword or place the column last.

SQL*Loader-00264: File mode token string parsed but ignored

Cause: An obsolete file mode token was used in the SQL*Loader control file. As of Release 1.1 of SQL*Loader, the file-processing options string is used to control file processing, rather than keywords like STREAM, RECORD, FIXED, and VARIABLE.

Action: No action required. This message is informational. Removing the obsolete keywords will eliminate the message without changing the way in which the datafile is processed.

SQL*Loader-00265: Unable to get default character set name.

Cause: SQL*Loader was unable to locate the default character set name for the environment.

Action: Supply a character set name with the CHARACTERSET keyword.

SQL*Loader-00266: Unable to locate character set handle for string.

Cause: SQL*Loader could not find the character set handle for the named character set.

Action: Correct the character set name.

SQL*Loader-00267: Control file must be first data file.

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file is specified as containing data using the INFILE "*" clause, but other datafiles were named first.

Action: Move the INFILE "*" clause so that it is the first datafile declared in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00268: UNRECOVERABLE keyword may be used only in direct path.

Cause: The UNRECOVERABLE keyword can only be specified in the direct path load.

Action: Use the direct path load or remove the keyword. (Conventional path loads are always recoverable).

SQL*Loader-00269: Null string not allowed as clause comparison text.

Cause: A clause is being compared to a null string.

Action: Modify the clause to compare to at least one character.

SQL*Loader-00270: TERMINATED BY EOF valid only for CHAR or RAW datatypes

Cause: A field description in the SQL*Loader control file used the TERMINATED BY EOF option when the field was not a RAW or CHAR datatype.

Action: Modify the SQL*Loader control file to either remove the TERMINATED BY EOF clause or change the datatype for the field to be CHAR or RAW.

SQL*Loader-00271: Not a Parallel load. Table level OPTIONS statement ignored.

Cause: A table-level OPTIONS statement was specified for a non-parallel load.

Action: Remove the OPTIONS statement from the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00272: Table level OPTIONS statement ignored.

Cause: In the parallel load option, the file specified on the command line overrides the file specified in the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Remove the OPTIONS statement from the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00273: READBUFFERS may be used only in direct path.

Cause: The READBUFFERS specification was not entered as part of a direct path.

Action: Use the direct path or remove the READBUFFERS specification from the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00274: At least 2 read buffers have to be specified.

Cause: Fewer than 2 read buffers have been specified.

Action: Specify at least 2 read buffers in the READBUFFERS statement, in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00275: Data is in control file but "INFILE *" has not been specified.

Cause: The INFILE specification was not entered in the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: If data in the SQL*Loader control file is to be read, specify INFILE * in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00276: Local storage option overrides global storage.

Cause: A storage clause has been specified in the table level options statement and also in the global options statement.

Action: This is only a warning message. Table level options take precedence over global options. Drop the table level options statement if this is not the intent.

SQL*Loader-00277: Local file specification overrides global file specification.

Cause: A filename has been specified in the table level options statement and also in the global options statement.

Action: This is only a warning message. Table level options take precedence over global options. Drop the table level options statement if this is not the intent.

SQL*Loader-00278: Incorrect file specification for parallel load.

Cause: The filename used to perform the parallel load was entered incorrectly.

Action: Correct the filename and re-invoke parallel loader.

SQL*Loader-00279: Only APPEND mode allowed when parallel load specified.

Cause: INSERT, REPLACE, or TRUNCATE mode was used in a parallel load specification.

Action: Change the SQL*Loader control file to use the APPEND keyword and re-invoke the parallel loader.

SQL*Loader-00280: table string is a temporary table

Cause: The sqlldr utility does not load temporary tables. Note that if sqlldr did allow loading of temporary tables, the data would disappear after the load completed.

Action: Load the data into a non-temporary table.

SQL*Loader-00281: Warning: ROWS parameter ignored in parallel mode.

Cause: Specifying save points using the ROWS parameter is not supported for parallel loads.

Action: Remove the ROWS parameter from the command-line arguments or specify a non-parallel direct load to have save points performed.

SQL*Loader-00282: Unable to locate character set handle for character set ID (number).

Cause: SQL*Loader could not find the character set handle for the given character set ID.

Action: The character set ID was obtained from the database server, the SQL*Loader client does not have knowledge of the given character set ID. Possible mis-match of NLS data on the client and server side.

SQL*Loader-00283: file processing string "string" ignored for INFILE *

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file specified INFILE * for a load data file along with an optional file processing string. This message is a warning that the file processing string will be ignored since SQLLDR will expect the data to have the same record format as the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: If the data in the SQL*Loader control file is in the same format as the rest of the SQL*Loader control file, then you don"t need to do anything. Removing the file processing string will get rid of this error message. If the data in the SQL*Loader control file has a different record format, then you need to copy the data into a separate file and use that file"s name in the INFILE clause.

SQL*Loader-00284: Warning: Input data file string specified multiple times.

Cause: The same input datafile is loaded multiple times. This can occur if the INFILE keyword is placed out of order in the load syntax statement, which causes the filename of the first datafile loaded to default to the name of the control file with an extension or file type of DAT.

Action: Check that INFILE keyword is not placed after one of these - BADFILE/BADDN/DISCARDFILE/DISCARDDN/DISCARDS.

SQL*Loader-00285: %s may be used only in conventional path.

Cause: HIDDEN can only be specified in the conventional path load.

Action: Use the conventional path load.

SQL*Loader-00286: ROWS parameter is not supported when loading an IOT.

Cause: Specifying save points using the ROWS parameter is not supported when loading an IOT.

Action: Remove the ROWS parameter from the command-line arguments.

SQL*Loader-00287: No control file name specified.

Cause: No control file name was provided at the control prompt.

Action: Provide the name of a valid control file at the prompt or on the command line.

SQL*Loader-00288: Delimiters may not be specified for collections stored in SDF.

Cause: A TERMINATED BY or ENCLOSED BY clause was found along with an SDF (secondary data files) clause for a nested table or varray field.

Action: The TERMINATED BY or ENCLOSED BY clauses may be specified only if the nested table or VARRAY data is stored in the record in the main data file. If you are loading nested table or VARRAY data from a secondary data file, then you must use COUNT to indicate the number of elements in the secondary data file that are stored in the file.

SQL*Loader-00289: SQL string for column string occludes SQL string for column string.

Cause: A SQL string has been associated with both a column object and one of its attributes in the control file. Because the SQL string of the column object will replace the entire column object in the VALUE clause of the INSERT statement, the SQL string of the attribute is ignored. This could cause unexpected or incorrect values to be loaded.

Action: Correct the control file so that only the column object or its attribute has a SQL string, but not both.

SQL*Loader-00290: PIECED keyword (on column string) allowed only for lob or long columns

Cause: The PIECED keyword cannot be used for non lob or long columns.

Action: Remove the PIECED keyword or use lob or long column type.

SQL*Loader-00291: Invalid bind variable string in SQL string for column string.

Cause: A bind variable may not refer to a filler field or to a non-existent field. Also, when running in direct-path mode, a bind variable may not refer to field that represents a LOB stored in a secondary file or a collection.

Action: Remove the offending bind variable from the SQL string.

SQL*Loader-00292: ROWS parameter ignored when an XML, LOB or VARRAY column is loaded

Cause: Command-line arguments contained a ROWS parameter. Specifying save points using the ROWS parameter is not supported when any table being loaded contains a LOB or a column stored as a LOB. XML and VARRAY columns may be stored as a LOB.

Action: Remove the ROWS parameter from the command-line arguments.

SQL*Loader-00293: Missing XMLTYPE directive in control file for table string

Cause: A table of sys.xmltype must specify the XMLTYPE directive.

Action: Add XMLTYPE directive to control file.

SQL*Loader-00294: invalid name % specified in TREAT AS clause

Cause: The type name specified in a TREAT AS clause is invalid. It might contain characters that are not valid in the client character set or a quoted string might not be terminated or the name might be too long to contain a valid schema name and type name.

Action: Verify that the type name has valid characters and is not too long. Also, ensure that all quoted strings are terminated.

SQL*Loader-00295: Warning: Table string, Column string - Quoting rule of object attribute bind variables has changed.

Cause: The quoting rule of bind variables consisting of full object attribute names changed. The old quoting rule is incorrect because it can lead to ambiguous column references. For backward compatibility, current load will continue unless ambiguous column references are detected.

Action: This is only a warning message. Because the quoting rule of object attribute bind variables has changed, it is recommended that the control file be replaced with the new rule. With the new rule, a full object attribute bind variable name is not enclosed in its entirety in double quotes. Instead, each attribute name in the bind variable should be independently quoted as needed. Note that each attribute name is actually an identifier on its own and thus should follow the quoting rules for an identifier. For example, bind variable ":A.B.C" here consists of 3 attribute names (or identifiers): "A", "B", and "C".

SQL*Loader-00296: Bind variable string for column string is ambiguous.

Cause: A bind variable can only refer to one column in the control file. Current load could not continue due to ambiguous column references.

Action: Fix the bind variable. If this bind variable consists of quotes, check that the quotes are used correctly. For example, the old quoting rule of bind variables consisting of full object attribute names was incorrect because it can lead to ambiguous column references. Let"s say we have an expression "LTRIM(:"A.B.C")". Using the old quoting rule, this bind variable can refer to object attribute columns ""A"."B"."C"", ""A.B".C", and ""A"."B.C"". To avoid this confusion, use the new quoting rule for object attribute bind variables, which is to quote each attribute name independently as needed. In the preceding example, if the intended object attribute column is "A.B.C", then the expression rewritten as "LTRIM(:A.B.C)" or "LTRIM(:"A"."B"."C") will not lead to ambiguities.

SQL*Loader-00297: Invalid syntax or bind variable in SQL string for column string.

Cause: See following error message for more information. A SQL string cannot have quoted strings improperly terminated. A bind variable in a SQL string cannot have a length of 0, cannot exceed maximum length of 30 characters, and cannot be missing a double quote.

Action: Fix the SQL string. See following error for more information.

SQL*Loader-00298: Filler field name is too long

Cause: The specified filler field name exceeded the maximum of 30 characters.

Action: Specify at most 30 characters.

SQL*Loader-00303: Non-hex character encountered where hex char expected

Cause: A non-hex character was found in a hexadecimal string.

Action: Change it to the intended hexadecimal character.

SQL*Loader-00304: Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a combination of non-alphanumeric characters that SQL*Loader does not recognize. For example, the combination != is recognized as "not equal", but the combination =! is not valid.

Action: Remove the unrecognized characters from the control file.

SQL*Loader-00305: More than one end of file character encountered

Cause: The file contains multiple end-of-file marks.

Action: Remove the excess end-of-file characters.

SQL*Loader-00306: Token longer than max allowable length of number chars

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file contains a single word or combination of characters (a token) that is longer than the maximum permissible value. The maximum possible value is shown. This error could result from missing spaces, so that multiple tokens are joined.

Action: Check that the proper SQL*Loader control file is being executed Separate tokens, if joined, or shorten the token.

SQL*Loader-00307: Warning: conflicting lengths number and number specified for column string table string

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file specifies two different lengths for the named column. There are three ways to specify the length of a field: --with the POSITION keyword: POSITION(1:3) -- with the length specifier: CHAR(6) -- with the implied length of a datatype; for example, INTEGER -- A conflict could occur between any two of these specifications (or among all three, but only two are shown). A common cause of this error is the specification of some numeric datatype, such as INTEGER, when the numeric external form is intended (INTEGER EXTERNAL). The external form consists of character data, so it is considerably longer than the numeric form, which consists of binary data.

Action: No action is necessarily required, because SQL*Loader uses only one of the lengths. Check the log file under the heading "Len" in the table-description section to see which length was used. Adjusting the SQL*Loader control file to produce uniform length specifications will remove the warning.

SQL*Loader-00308: %s SQL string of column string must be in double quotes.

Cause: A SQL string was found that was not quoted or in single quotes.

Action: Use double quotes for the SQL string, rather than single quotes.

SQL*Loader-00309: No SQL string allowed as part of string field specification

Cause: Particular field types do not allow SQL strings as part of their field specification (e.g. field corresponding to a LOB column). This was violated and needs to be corrected.

Action: Remove the SQL string from the particular field specification.

SQL*Loader-00350: Syntax error at line number.

Cause: num identifies the line in the SQL*Loader control file at which the error occurred. This message is followed by another of the form -- Expecting str1, found str2 where str1 is a description of what SQL*Loader expected in the SQL*Loader control file, and str2 is what was found. Then SQL*Loader displays the offending line from the SQL*Loader control file, indicating the location of the error in the line by a carat (^) or an asterisk (*). An example follows: -- SQL*Loa er-350: Syntax error at line 28 -- Expecting column name, found keyword CHAR -- col3 ENCLOSED BY """, CHAR ENCLOSED """,

Action: Compare the DDL syntax against the syntax diagrams in Oracle7 Server Utilities and make any necessary corrections.

SQL*Loader-00401: End field position number must be greater than or equal to start number

Cause: The named field contains a (start:end) clause in which end is less than start.

Action: Modify the clause so that end is greater than or equal to start.

SQL*Loader-00402: Unable to determine length of column string from specification

Cause: The specified datatype does not have an implied length (for example, a numeric external or RAW datatype), it is not specified with delimiters, no length was specified, and a length cannot be determined from a POSITION clause.

Action: If a POSITION clause is specified, adding an end location to it produces a length specification. This clause then has the form POSITION(start:end) A length can also specified after the datatype, as in INTEGER EXTERNAL (6) Finally, the field could be specified with delimiters, or the datatype changed to one that has an implied length.

SQL*Loader-00403: Referenced column string not present in table string.

Cause: The named column is not present in the given table.

Action: Correct the column name or table name.

SQL*Loader-00404: Column string present more than once in string"s INTO TABLE block.

Cause: The named column is specified more than once in a single INTO TABLE statement.

Action: Remove the extraneous column specification.

SQL*Loader-00405: Need termination delim with optional enclosure delim: column string table string

Cause: The named column was specified with an optional enclosure delimiter, but no termination delimiter. Enclosure delimiters can only be optional when termination delimiters are present.

Action: Specify a termination delimiter or make the enclosure delimiters non-optional.

SQL*Loader-00406: If data is all generated, number to load cannot be ALL

Cause: When only generated data is loaded, a number to load must be given so SQL*Loader knows when to stop.

Action: Specify a number to load.

SQL*Loader-00407: If data is all generated, number to skip is meaningless

Cause: When all data is generated, no file is read, and there are no records to skip.

Action: Remove the number to skip.

SQL*Loader-00408: Physical record stack overflow

Cause: An internal error has occurred.

Action: Contact customer support.

SQL*Loader-00409: Number to skip must be table-level, not load-level on continued loads

Cause: The SKIP parameter was specified on the command line or in the OPTIONS statement, but the load was specified as continued with CONTINUE_LOAD. When a multiple-table direct load is interrupted, it is possible that a different number of records were loaded into each table. As a result, the number of records to skip must be specified for each table when continuing the load. In this case, the load is specified as continued with the CONTINUE_LOAD statement, and the number of records to skip is given in each INTO TABLE statement. See also messages 410 and 411 for more information.

Action: Check the log file to determine the appropriate number of records to skip for each table and specify this number in the INTO TABLE statement for each table in a continued load or with the command-line SKIP parameter in a standard load.

SQL*Loader-00410: Number to skip must be load-level, not table-level

Cause: A SKIP clause was found in the INTO TABLE statement of a standard (non-continued) load. In a standard load, specified with LOAD DATA, it is not possible to skip a different number of records for each table. The number of records to skip must be specified for the entire load by using the SKIP parameter on the command line or in the OPTIONS clause. If table-level skip is required, because a different number of records were loaded into each table (only possible for a multiple- table direct load), then specify a continued load with the CONTINUE_LOAD statement. See also messages 409 and 411 for more information.

Action: If the load was not a multiple-table, direct path load, then move the SKIP clause from the INTO TABLE statements to the command line or to the OPTIONS clause. Otherwise, specify the load as continued with CONTINUE_LOAD.

SQL*Loader-00411: Only a direct path load may be continued

Cause: The load is specified with CONTINUE_LOAD, but DIRECT=FALSE. CONTINUE_LOAD is only possible for a direct path load and is only necessary for a multiple-table, direct path load when a different number of records have been loaded into each table. See also messages 409 and 410 for more information.

Action: If CONTINUE_LOAD is necessary, specify a direct load and put the number of records to skip in each INTO TABLE statement. Otherwise, use the command line or OPTIONS clause to specify the number of records to skip and use LOAD DATA instead of CONTINUE_LOAD.

SQL*Loader-00412: More columns specified for table string than the maximum (number)

Cause: More columns were specified for the table than the maximum number allowed by the database.

Action: Remove the extraneous columns.

SQL*Loader-00413: NULLIF or DEFAULTIF clause specified for filler field string in table string.

Cause: A NULLIF or DEFAULTIF clause was specified in the SQL*Loader control file for the named filler field. These options cannot be specified for filler fields.

Action: Remove the NULLIF or DEFAULTIF clause from the field definition.

SQL*Loader-00414: no columns to load for table string

Cause: There were no fields in the data file to be loaded for the table. Probably all fields were identified as FILLER fields.

Action: Verify that the FILLER attribute was set correctly for the fields.

SQL*Loader-00415: column string in table string cannot use and be the object of an SDF or LOBFILE

Cause: The named column is identified as the target of a secondary data file (SDF) or LOBFILE clause. However, the column also gets it"s value from an SDF or LOBFILE. If a field name is named in an SDF or LOBFILE clause, then that field cannot have an SDF or LOBFILE clause.

Action: Verify that the SDF and LOBFILE clauses in the SQL*Loader control file name the correct fields. Also verify that the SDF and LOBFILE clauses are specified for the correct field.

SQL*Loader-00416: SDF clause for field string in table string references a non existent field.

Cause: The secondary data file clause for the field identified another field that doesn"t exist in the table definition for the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Verify the definition of the secondary data file to make sure it identifies the intended field.

SQL*Loader-00417: SQL string (on column string) not allowed in direct path.

Cause: Because the direct path bypasses SQL processing, the SQL string cannot be used.

Action: Remove the SQL string or use the conventional path.

SQL*Loader-00418: Bad datafile datatype for column string

Cause: The datatype in the data file specified for the column cannot be used to load the column. This message is often displayed for columns that need to be loaded with special features. For example, BFILE columns can only be loaded via the BFILE directive in the control file; same goes for REF fields. in the SQL*Loader control file. Similarly, REF columns can only be loaded with theREF datatype in the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Determine the datatype of the column in the database check the documentation for the correct mechanisms to use to load columns of that type.

SQL*Loader-00419: input datatype for column string is not supported when loading varrays

Cause: The datatype in the SQL*Loader control file for the column is cannot be used to load data in a varray.

Action: Use a different datatype.

SQL*Loader-00420: unsupported datatype conversion requested for column string in table string

Cause: The colummn needs to have it"s data converted to another datatype before loading the data. The required conversion cannot be done by sqlldr.

Action: Verify that the correct datatype was specified for the column.

SQL*Loader-00421: error converting data

Cause: This message can be displayed as one of the reasons for rejecting a row. The sqlldr utility was attempting to convert data for the column from its datatype in the data file to the datatype for the column in the database. This message should be followed with another message describing the conversion error.

Action: Correct the data in the data file so that it can be converted.

SQL*Loader-00422: constant element count of number for column string is greater than maximum, number

Cause: The number of elements specified for a varray column in a table is greater than the maximum number of elements allowed for the type of the varray column.

Action: Increase the number of elements allowed for the type or remove unwanted elements from the data file.

SQL*Loader-00423: element count is greater than maximum allowed for the column

Cause: When building a varray from the data file, SQL*Loader encountered more varray elements than are allowed for the column.

Action: The previous error messages contain the name of the column and the row number containing the bad data.

SQL*Loader-00424: table string makes illegal reference to collection field string

Cause: A WHEN, OID or SID clause for the table refers to a field declared inside of a collection.

Action: Move the data containing the value for a SID or OID clause outside of the collection definition.

SQL*Loader-00425: column string makes illegal reference to collection field string

Cause: A clause, such as NULLIF or BFILE clause, for the column refers to a field declared inside of a collection.

Action: Move the data containing the value for a SID or OID clause outside of the collection definition.

SQL*Loader-00426: count of elements in VARRAY string comes after the data for the varray

Cause: The COUNT clause for a VARRAY field indicates that the count of elements in the varray is stored in another data field. However, that data field comes after the varray data in the data file. Since finding the count field would require SQL*Loader to know the number of elements in the VARRAY first, SQL*Loader requires that the count field come before the VARRAY data.

Action: Move the count field to be before the collection data in the data file.

SQL*Loader-00427: a field condition references a non-scalar field or a LOB field string

Cause: The field condition is referencing a field which is either a nested table, varray, column object, LOB or BILE field. These fields with these typescannot be references by other field.

Action: Correct the NULLIF, DEFAULTIF, or WHEN clauses to reference only non-LOB scalar data fields.

SQL*Loader-00428: count for field string not stored in character or integer field

Cause: The count clause for a field references another field, but the referenced field is not a character or integer datatype.

Action: Modify the count field so that it reference a a data field that has the count in an integere or character format.

SQL*Loader-00429: insufficient number of elements found for varray

Cause: The COUNT directive was specified for a varray, but the number of elements found is less than the number specified by the COUNT directive.

Action: Correct the data so that the count and the number of elements agree.

SQL*Loader-00430: NULL nested table element is not allowed

Cause: A row in a nested table was set to NULL. Nested tables cannot contain NULL fields.

Action: Correct the data so that there are no NULL rows in the nested table.

SQL*Loader-00431: illegal NULLIF or DEFAULTIF clause specified for nested table column string

Cause: Rows in a nested table cannot be set to NULL. SQLLDR displays this error when a NULLIF clause was specified for the element that defines the row that make up a nested table. SQLLDR also displays this error if a DEFAULTIF clause is specified for an element that is a named type, since SQLLDR will set a named type to NULL if the DEFAULTIF evaluates to TRUE.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00432: converted data too large

Cause: This message is preceded by a message identifying a row and column. It is displayed when there is insufficient room to convert the data from the datatype in the input file to the datatype for the column in the database.

Action: Modify the data so that it fits in the database field.

SQL*Loader-00433: no attributes found for column object string in table string

Cause: No attributes are to be loaded for a column object named in the control file. This can happen if all fields in the definition for the column object in the control are designated as FILLER fields.

Action: Either specify attributes to load for the column object or remove the column object from the control file.

SQL*Loader-00434: Can not load LOB/XML in a nested table along with the parent table.

Cause: Loading LOBs and XML data within a nested table at the same time as the parent table is not supported.

Action: Load the nested table with the LOB or XML column separately from the parent table.

SQL*Loader-00435: invalid constant value string for nested table column string

Cause: A constant value was specified for the SETID of a nested table column. An error occured while translating the character constant into a SETID.

Action: Make sure the constant string contains valid hexadecimal characters and that there are 32 hexadecimal characters.

SQL*Loader-00436: error converting GUID

Cause: The value of the field named in the message is used to populate the column named in the messsage. Because column is a Set ID or an Object ID, the field needs to be converted. This message indicates that there was a conversion error. If the field is a character field, then the conversion error could be caused by too many or too few haxeadecimal charactersI. Also, one or more of the characters in the field might not be a valid hexadecimal character. If the field contains RAW data, then either too many or to few bytes were specified for the field.

Action: Fix the data and reload the row.

SQL*Loader-00440: Invalid table specified as scope of a REF

Cause: As part of the REF directive one specifies the table name or another fields name which contains the table name of the table which the REF references.

Action: Make sure that the right referenced table name is specified.

SQL*Loader-00456: end of collection found after number elements when looking for number elements

Cause: A count value was specified for a varray or nested table column and the number of rows found is less than the number of rows specified

Action: Verify that the count field has the correct value and that there is no missing data for the collection.

SQL*Loader-00457: Comparison text of CONTINUEIF LAST must have length 1 not number

Cause: The comparison text is too long. It can only be one character.

Action: Reduce the comparison text to one character.

SQL*Loader-00458: Comparison text ("string") of CONTINUEIF LAST must be non-whitespace

Cause: The comparison text is a whitespace character (blank or tab).

Action: Change the comparison text to a non-whitespace character.

SQL*Loader-00459: error fetching numeric value for sequence on column (string)

Cause: An attempt was made to retrieve a non-numeric value for a sequenced column.

Action: Verify that the data for the sequenced column is numeric. Then retry the operation.

SQL*Loader-00460: Column (string), form of use (number) does not match char set id of (number)

Cause: The given column with the given form of use does not have the same character set ID as a previous column with the same form of use.

Action: This should not happen. Contact ORACLE support and supply the following information: DDL for the table being loaded, and the SQL*Loader control file. ADDED in 8.1

SQL*Loader-00461: direct path loading of datatype for column string not supported

Cause: The datatype for the specified column is one that cannot be loaded with direct path.

Action: If the datatype is supported with conventional path, load the table using conventional path.

SQL*Loader-00462: error inserting LOB into column string, row number, table string

Cause: An error occurred while attempting to write a lob into a row.

Action: See accompanying messages describing why the LOB could not be loaded, what actions sqlldr took (if any), and where the errors may be in order to reload.

SQL*Loader-00463: secondary data file for LOB is string

Cause: The secondary data file that was in use for populating the LOB when an error occured.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00464: file offset for beginning of lob is string

Cause: The offset into the secondary data file that contains the start of the LOB that was being written when an error occured.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00465: %s directive expects number arguments, number found.

Cause: You specified a directive such as COUNT() or BFILE() in the SQL*Loader control file. This directive specifies a fixed number of arguments, but the SQL*Loader control file contains a different number of arguments.

Action: Correct the SQL*Loader control file so that the directive contains the correct number of arguments.

SQL*Loader-00466: Column string does not exist in table string.

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file specified a table column that does not exist.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00467: attribute string does not exist in type string for table string.

Cause: The SQL*Loader control file specified an attribute that does not exist for the specified type. The table that contains the type is also identified in the error message.

Action: Verify that the correct table in the correct schema is named in the SQL*Loader control file. Also verify that the column name is spelled correctly.

SQL*Loader-00468: OID directive expects 1 argument, number found.

Cause: More than one argument was specified for an OID clause.

Action: Specify the name of the field containing the value to use for the OID. If the OID for the table is user-defined, then do not use the OID clause in the control file.

SQL*Loader-00469: SID directive expects 1 argument, number found.

Cause: More than one argument was specified for a SID clause.

Action: Only specify the name of the field containing the value to use for the SID in the SID clause.

SQL*Loader-00470: table string does not have system generated OID

Cause: You specified an OID clause for a table but the table is either not an object table or the table is an object table but the OIDs for the rows are not system generated.

Action: Verify that the you are loading the correct table. If you are, then you must not specify the OID clause for this table. You should use the OID clause only when the table is an object table, has system generated OIDs and when you want to specify OIDs to be assigned to each row of the table.

SQL*Loader-00471: OID or SID clause has an argument that is CONSTANT

Cause: You specified a CONSTANT as an argument in an OID clause for an object table or in the SID clause for a nested table column. Since these columns must have unique values, SQL Loader does not allow the a constant to be specified for their values.

Action: Store the OID for each row in a filler field and specify the name of the filler field as an argument.

SQL*Loader-00472: collections can contain only one non FILLER field specification

Cause: More than one non filler field specification is found in a collection field"s member field list.

Action: See correct syntax in the Utilities Manual. If indeed there is more than one attribute that makes up the particular collection, then it must be a collection of a object type which needs to be specified using the COLUMN OBJECT field specification syntax.

SQL*Loader-00473: nesting of collections is not allowed.

Cause: Nesting of one collection type field description within another is not allowed.

Action: Verify that collection nesting is attempted in the SQL*Loader control file. Correct the mistake.

SQL*Loader-00474: no value set for dynamic file for column string in table string row number

Cause: The data for the named column is in a dynamic LOBFILE or secondary data file. This message is returned when the field containing the name of the file with the data for this field has not been set or is NULL. This could be because the record in the data file does not match the format described by the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Correct any errors in the data file or the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00475: field for dynamic file name is string in table string

Cause: This message is always displayed after message 474.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00476: count of elements for collection is not set or null, 0 will be used

Cause: This message is displayed following a message that identifies the column and row that contained the problem. The message indicates that the collection field named in the previous message has the count of elements in the collection stored in another field. This message is displayed if the field containing the count does not have a value or is set to NULL. When this happens, SQL*Loader uses 0 as the number of elements.

Action: If 0 is not the count of elementsfor the collection, correct the data in the data file.

SQL*Loader-00477: REF directive for field string requires at least two arguments

Cause: The SQL Loader control file contains a REF directive for the field, but only one argument was supplied for the directive. The REF directive always requires at least two arguments.

Action: Supply the missing argument to the REF directive. Remember that you must always supply a table name to the REF directive even if the REF is scoped.

SQL*Loader-00478: unable to continue due to missing filename for LOBFILE or SDF

Cause: The name for a LOBFILE or secondary data file is either missing or NULL for the current row. SQL*Loader is unable to continue loading since it can"t determine how to get the LOB for the next row.

Action: Correct the data file so that there are valid values for all fields containing the names of LOBFILEs and secondary data files.

SQL*Loader-00479: REF directive for column string expects number arguments; found number.

Cause: The number of arguments in the REF directive for the column is incorrect.

Action: Specify the correct number of arguments for REF. Remember that the REF directive always requires a table name. Also, primary key REFs require one arguments for each field in the primary key.

SQL*Loader-00480: EXPRESSION may not be used with elements of a collection.

Cause: The EXPRESSION keyword is followed by a required SQL string expression and is used to load a column with the result of the SQL string expression instead of with a value from the input data file. However, this capability is not allowed with elements of a collection.

Action: Remove the EXPRESSION keyword and associated SQL string from the collection element in the control file.

SQL*Loader-00481: HIDDEN may not be used with non-scalar fields.

Cause: The HIDDEN keyword is only allowed for scalar fields.

Action: Remove the HIDDEN keyword from the non-scalar field in the control file.

SQL*Loader-00486: sql-strings may not be specified for collection field string

Cause: A sql-string was specified as part of the description of the field that is inside a nested table or varray. Sql-strings cannot be used to load a field in a varrary or nested tables.

Action: Remove the sql-string from the field description. Modify the data file so that it contains the values to be loaded into the column in the collection.

SQL*Loader-00487: COUNT clause required for collection string

Cause: A VARRAY or NESTED TABLE was defined in the SQL Loader control file and all of the fields in the VARRAY or NESTED TABLE are generated by SQL Loader and do not come from a data file. SQL Loader requires a COUNT clause be specified so that it knows how many elements to add to the VARRAY or NESTED TABLE for each row.

Action: Add a COUNT clause to the VARRAY or NESTED TABLE definition.

SQL*Loader-00488: %s not a named collection type for filler field string

Cause: The FILLER option was specified for a VARRAY or NESTED TABLE field in the SQL Loader control file. However, the type name specified for the field is not the name of a VARRAY or NESTED TABLE type.

Action: Verify that the correct type name was specified. If the type is defined in a different schema, also verify that the correct schema name is specified.

SQL*Loader-00489: cannot insert NULL object into object table string, row number

Cause: There was no data specified in the control file, a lob file, or a secondary data file for this object column.

Action: Place valid data for this column in the appropriate file prior to invoking SQL*Loader to load data into this table.

SQL*Loader-00500: Unable to open file (string)

Cause: SQL*Loader could not open the named file.

Action: Check the operating system messages below this one in the log file.

SQL*Loader-00501: Unable to read file (string)

Cause: SQL*Loader could not read the named file.

Action: Check the operating system messages following this message in the log file.

SQL*Loader-00502: unable to open data file "string" for field string table string

Cause: An attempt to open a LOBFILE or secondary data file failed.

Action: Check the operating system messages following this message for information on why the open failed. Verify that the correct name is specified for the LOBFILE or secondary data file.

SQL*Loader-00503: Error appending extension to file (string)

Cause: SQL*Loader could not append the default extension to create the filename. The given name could be too long or contain illegal characters.

Action: Check the specified filename.

SQL*Loader-00504: Error skipping records in file (string)

Cause: SQL*Loader could not open the file or could not read from it.

Action: Check that the file is where it is expected and that read access has been granted.

SQL*Loader-00505: error reading LOBFILE

Cause: An attempt to read a secondary data file failed.

Action: Check the operating system message that follows this message for more information.

SQL*Loader-00506: formatting error reading SDF or LOBFILE string for column string in table string

Cause: The the record format of the named LOBFILE or SDF file is incorrect.

Action: Fix the record formatting problems in the file.

SQL*Loader-00507: unexpected EOF reading SDF or LOBFILE string for column string in table string

Cause: The end of file was reached for a secondary data file or LOBFILE before the data for the current row was found.

Action: If the file is a LOBFILE, verify the correct datatype was specified for the field. If the file is a secondary data file, make sure the record format is specified correctly in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00508: record formating error in data file string

Cause: The data found in the data file does not correspond to the record format in the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Verify that all records in the data file match the format as described in the SQL*Loader control file.

SQL*Loader-00509: System error: string

Cause: A platform-specific error was returned during an operation. This message is used to display the text of the error.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00510: Physical record in data file (string) is longer than the maximum(number)

Cause: The datafile has a physical record that is too long.

Action: Use CONCATENATE or CONTINUEIF. Break up the physical records.

SQL*Loader-00511: Unable to initialize read functions

Cause: SQL*Loader could not initialize the read functions.

Action: Check the errors below this message in the log file for more information.

SQL*Loader-00512: Unable to free read buffer

Cause: An internal error has occurred.

Action: Contact customer support.

SQL*Loader-00513: Unable to close file (string)

Cause: SQL*Loader could not close the named file.

Action: Check the errors below this message in the log file for more information.

SQL*Loader-00514: Error getting elapsed time

Cause: SQL*Loader could not get the elapsed time from the system.

Action: No action required.

SQL*Loader-00515: Error getting CPU time

Cause: SQL*Loader could not get the CPU time from the system.

Action: No action required.

SQL*Loader-00516: Control file (string) has no contents

SQL*Loader-00605: Non-data dependent ORACLE error occurred -- load discontinued.

Cause: An error occurred that is independent of the data. For example, an out-of-space condition. Because all further rows will be rejected, the load is discontinued. (If the error were data dependent, then other rows might succeed.)

Action: See the errors below this one in the log file for more information.

SQL*Loader-00606: Object string in INTO TABLE clause is not a local table

Cause: The synonym specified in the INTO TABLE clause in the SQL*Loader control file specifies a remote object via a database link. Only a synonym for an existing local table can be specified in the INTO TABLE clause.

Action: Ensure that a local table name or a synonym for a local table is fully specified in the INTO TABLE clause. The table must already exist.

SQL*Loader-00607: partition not empty for INSERT option; table string, partition string

Cause: An attempt was made to use the INSERT option on a non-empty partition.

Action: Empty the partition, or use the REPLACE or TRUNCATE option.

SQL*Loader-00608: subpartition not empty for INSERT option; table string, subpartition string

Action: Empty the subpartition, or use the REPLACE or TRUNCATE option.

SQL*Loader-00609: value used for ROWS parameter changed from number to number

Cause: SQL Loader adjusted the value it was using for the ROWS parameter to the new value reported. This is an informational message and not an error. SQL Loader will adjust the value of the ROWS parameter if the amount of memory specified by BINDSIZE is not large enough to hold data for the number of rows specified. SQL Loader will also change the value of the ROWS parameter for conventional path loads if the value is larger than 65534. Conventional path load can load at most 65534 rows at a time.

Action: If the limit of 65534 rows for conventional path load is not being reached, then try increasing the value of BINDSIZE.

SQL*Loader-00620: Initial enclosure character not found

Cause: A mandatory initial enclosure delimiter was not present. Either it is missing on the current field or the previous field is missing an identical closing delimiter.

Action: Supply the missing delimiters.

SQL*Loader-00621: Field in data file exceeds maximum length

Cause: A field exceeded its maximum allowable length. The maximum length is either the length specified in the SQL*Loader control file, or, for delimitable fields without a length specified, the default maximum length (255 bytes).

Action: Check for missing delimiters and/or shorten the field.

SQL*Loader-00622: Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)

Cause: The logical record ended before all specified fields were found.

Action: If the missing fields should be loaded as null, use the TRAILING NULLCOLS clause. Otherwise, correct the data.

SQL*Loader-00623: second enclosure string not present

Cause: The logical end of record or the end of a LOBFILE was reached before a second enclosure delimiter was found.

Action: Correct the data file to include the missing delimiter.

SQL*Loader-00624: no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field

Cause: No termination delimiter was found after the enclosed field ended.

Action: Supply the missing termination delimiter.

SQL*Loader-00625: Multibyte character error in control file.

Cause: Incomplete multi-byte character strings were found in the SQL*Loader control file.

Action: Edit the SQL*Loader control file to check that all multi-byte character data is valid.

SQL*Loader-00626: Character set conversion buffer overflow.

Cause: A conversion from the datafile character set to the client character set required more space than that allocated for the conversion buffer. The size of the conversion buffer is limited by the maximum size of a varchar2 column.

Action: The input record is rejected. The data will not fit into the column.

SQL*Loader-00627: Character set conversion graph not available.

Cause: A conversion from the datafile character set to the client character failed due to the conversion graph not being available.

Action: Contact Oracle support. Check NLSRTL installation.

SQL*Loader-00628: Character set conversion error.

Cause: A character set conversion error occurred.

Action: Contact Oracle support. Check NLSRTL installation. Provide a reproduceable test case.

SQL*Loader-00640: Variable length field was truncated.

Cause: The end of the logical record was encountered before the end of a variable length field. The length of each variable-length field is embedded in the field, so SQL*Loader knows that more data should have been present.

Action: Check the data for inadvertent truncation and verify the SQL*Loader control file specifications against the log file; the field may be starting in the wrong place.

SQL*Loader-00641: Invalid packed decimal nibble.

Cause: Each byte in a packed decimal field contains two 4-bit nibbles. Each nibble must have a valid value.

Action: Check the SQL*Loader control file"s specifications against the log file to ensure that the field location was specified correctly. Check the contents of the field.

SQL*Loader-00642: Relative start position > absolute field end position.

Cause: A field specified as POSITION(*+n:y) had its relative start occur after the absolute position y.

Action: Check that a delimiter is not missing and that the values of n and y are correct.

SQL*Loader-00643: error executing INSERT statement for table string

Cause: A fatal error occured while attempting to insert data into the table.

Action: Refer to the messages that follow for more information. If you specified SQL stings for any of your columns, verify that strings are correct. Specifcally, check for balanced parenthesis and correct use of quotation marks. Another format error

SQL*Loader-00644: end of logical record found when reading length of varying length field

Cause: While attempting to read the length portion of a varying length field, then end of the logical record was reached.

Action: Verify that the SQL*Loader control file describes the data correctly and that the data in the data file matches the description in the SQL*Loader control file

SQL*Loader-00645: error converting character length field to a number

Cause: An error occurred while attempting to convert the characters containing the count portion of a VARCHARC or VARRAWC field.

Cause: A quoted string in the control file is missing a closing quote.

Action: Insert the closing quote as appropriate.

SQL*Loader-00650: incomplete lob data written for column string, row number, table string

Cause: Encountered errors (e.g. parsing errors in LOBFILE) while loading LOBs using direct path. The row will remain in the table and its LOB column may not be complete. Loading of other records will continue.

Action: Correct the data file (see accompanying messages) and reload.

SQL*Loader-00651: error skipping lob for column string, row number, table string

Cause: Encountered errors (e.g. parsing errors in LOBFILE) while skipping LOBs.

Action: Correct the data file (see accompanying messages) and reload.

SQL*Loader-00652: Invalid zoned decimal byte.

Cause: Each byte of a zoned decimal field must have a valid value based on the character set encoding used. ASCII-based zoned decimals must follow the formats specified in the VAX Architecture Reference Manual. EBCDIC-based zoned decimals must follow the formats specified in the ESA/390 Principles of Operations, version 8.1.

Action: Check the SQL*Loader control file"s specifications against the log file to ensure that the field location was specified correctly. Check the contents of the field.

SQL*Loader-00653: XML data set to NULL in column string, row number, table string

Cause: Encountered errors (e.g. parsing errors in LOBFILE) while loading LOBs into an XML column. The row will remain in the table and its XML column will be initialized to null. Loading of other records will continue.

Action: Correct the data file (see accompanying messages) and reload.

SQL*Loader-00654: Variable length field exceeds maximum length.

Cause: A variable length field (with a leading length subfield) exceeded its maximum allowable length. The maximum length is either the length specified in the SQL*Loader control file, or, the default if not specified (4kb).

Action: Shorten the field and its length.

SQL*Loader-00655: cannot load object-relational XML attribute using direct path

Cause: The table being loaded contains a column object which contains an XML attribute with a storage type of object-relational. This type of attribute cannot be loaded with direct path.

Action: Perform the load with conventional path mode.

SQL*Loader-00700: Out of memory while performing essential allocations [number]

SQL*Loader-00817: error dropping directory object string

Cause: SQL Loader created a directory object as part of an external table load. An attempt to cleanup the directory object failed.

Action: See messages following this one for more information about the error.

SQL*Loader-00820: cannot create where clause with range for table string

Cause: The EXTERNAL_TABLE parameter was specified for a multi-table load, and a WHEN clause for one of the tables contains a reference to a range of bytes in the record. SQL Loader uses the WHEN clause from the control file to generate the WHERE clause in the INSERT statement. If the WHERE clause contains a reference to a range of bytes in the table, then a valid WHERE clause can not be generated. Note that SQL Loader will proceed as if GENERATE_ONLY was specified for the EXTERNAL_TABLE parameter.

Action: Modify the control file to only use field references in the WHEN clause. Note that this may require creating a filler field. Another alternative is to create one control file for each table to be loaded and load the table separately.

SQL*Loader-00821: switching to GENERATE_ONLY

Cause: SQL Loader is not able to execute the SQL statements it generated for loading the data using external tables. See previous messages for more information.

Action: none

SQL*Loader-00822: operation not supported on external organized table

Cause: User attempted on operation on an external table which is not supported.

Action: Either specify a directory name, or the name of a data field containing the name of the directory object that contains the files.

KUP-04084: The ORACLE_DATAPUMP access driver does not support the ROWID column.

Cause: A query of an external table of type ORACLE_DATAPUMP tried to reference the ROWID column. The ORACLE_DATAPUMP access driver does not support ROWIDs.

Action: Remove the ROWID from the query. If that is not possible, create a table in the database with the same columns as the external table, copy the data from the external table into the newly created table, and use that new table for the query.

KUP-04085: duplicate directory object string and file string specified for unload

Cause: A CREATE TABLE AS SELECT statement was executed for an external table of type ORACLE_DATAPUMP and the same directory object and filename combination was specified multiple times.

Action: Issue the CREATE TABLE AS SELECT command again but make sure the combination of directory objects and filenames is unique.

KUP-04088: data sampling is not supported by this access driver

KUP-04090: big endian byte order mark found when little endian expected in string

Cause: A big endian byte order mark was found at the beginning of the specified file and either the access parameters specified the data was in little endian order or the byte order mark for a previous file was little endian.

Action: The file needs to be loaded separately. If a byte order was specified in the access parameters, make sure it is changed to be big endian.

KUP-04091: little endian byte order mark found when big endian expected in string

Cause: A little endian byte order mark was found at the beginning of the specified file and either the access parameters specified the data was in big endian order or the byte order mark for a previous file was big endian.

Action: The file needs to be loaded separately. If a byte order was specified in the access parameters, make sure it is changed to be little endian.

KUP-04100: record rejected in file string

Cause: A record in the data file was not loaded into the table because of an error while finding fields in the record. See the previous error for more information. The record will be written to the BAD file, if one is being used. The record number in the source data file is not known because multiple servers are loading from the file.

Action: none

KUP-04101: record number rejected in file string

Cause: A record in the data file was not loaded into the table because of an error while finding fields in the record. See the previous error for more information. The record will be written to the BAD file, if one is being used.

Action: Verify that the zoned decimal number is formatted correctly.

KUP-04106: precision for zoned decimal number is too large for string

Cause: The precision of a zoned decimal number is larger than the precision that can be stored in an Oracle number.

Action: Verify that the zoned decimal number is formatted correctly.

KUP-04108: unable to reread file string

Cause: The query that is executing requires that a data source for an external table be read multiple times. However, the data source is a sequential device that cannot be reread. Examples of this type of data source is a tape or pipe.

Action: There are a few ways around this problem. One is to rewrite the query so that the external table is referenced only once. Another option is to move the data source to a rereadable device such as a disk file. A third option is to load the data for the external table into a temporary table and change the query to reference the temporary table.

KUP-11000: file truncated error

Cause: A truncated file was used for the load operation.

KUP-11003: bad data encountered while reading from file string

Cause: There was a datatype conversion error while attempting to convert the data in the data file to match the datatype of a column in the external table. The message that follows this one displays the name of the column and the start of the data for the column that could not be converted. The row containing the bad data is rejected and not included as a row in the external table.

Action: If the row containing the bad data should not be filtered out, then modify the definition of the external table so that the datatypes of the columns match the datatypes of the fields in the data file.

KUP-11004: requested version string not supported by ORACLE_DATAPUMP

Cause: This database version (defaulted to COMPATIBLE if not user-specified) was not supported by ORACLE_DATAPUMP external table access driver. Note: Database versions before 9.2 were not supported.

Action: Check the fact-filter is correctly specified; check that appropriate constraints exist; and the user has privileges to access the tables

QSM-00507: no dimensions could be found

Cause: The database does not have any dimensions

Action: Create the dimensions in your warehouse

QSM-00508: statistics missing on tables/columns

Cause: The system metadata does not contain statistics on one or more tables or columns. The Advisor needs cardinalities of all fact-tables, and of the level-keys of all dimensions in the data warehouse.

Action: Run ANALYZE on the tables and summaries in the warehouse to collect statistics

QSM-00509: invalid parameter

Cause: The indicated parameter has an invalid value

Action: Supply a value in the proper range

QSM-00510: statistics missing on materialized views

Cause: The system metadata does not contain statistics on one or more materialized views. The Advisor needs cardinalities of all materialized views in the data warehouse.

QSM-00511: invalid fact-tables specified in fact-filter

Cause: The tables specified in the fact-filter are not valid fact-tables. A fact-table must have foreign-key constraints to one or more of the dimension-tables in the data warehouse.

Action: Check the fact-filter is correctly specified; check that appropriate constraints exist; and the user has privileges to access the tables

QSM-00512: invalid summaries specified in the retention-list

Cause: The summaries specified in the retention-list are not valid.

Action: Check the spelling of the summary-names; check that they are valid; and the user has privileges to access them.

QSM-00513: one or more of the workload tables is missing

Cause: One or both of the workload tables are missing. The two workload tables which should be present in the user"s schema are V_192216243_F_5_E_14_8_1 and V_192216243_F_5_E_15_8_1; the former is mapped to WORK$_IDEAL_MVIEW and the latter to WORK$_MVIEW_USAGE. The workload tables are created by the Oracle Trace Formatter when the data-collection-file (oraclesm.dat) is formatted by the user.

Action: Check whether the Formatter succeeded in formatting the data collection. Sometimes the V_192216243_F_5_E_14_8_1 (i.e WORK$_IDEAL_MVIEW) may not be created whereas the other table is created. The most likely cause of this is the init.ora parameters needed to invoke mview-rewrite are not enabled. Check your documentation for all the init.ora parameters which need to be set for mview-rewrite to occur. Another possibility is no GROUP BY queries were issued during the time the data was collected, in which case, run the Trace collection for a longer time to get a representative sampling of the queries issued in the data warehouse.

QSM-00514: the size of must-retain summaries exceeds specified space limit

Cause: The specified space limit is greater than the size of must-retain summaries.

Action: Consider adding a level in the dimension to provide the missing intra- table relationships.

QSM-01035: a row level security policy exists on this table

Cause: Any row level security policy that may exist on a base-table prevents exact text match query rewrite.

Action: none.

QSM-01036: unmatched column, string, present in query after view merging

Cause: Clearing the columns after view merging failed due to some reasons - bug??

Action: none

QSM-01037: Query Rewrite failed to allocate the necessary query join graph

Cause: Join graph allocation and initialization failed, possibly due to one or more undetermined operand(s) in the query expression.

Action: none

QSM-01038: logical operator(s) could not be processed

Cause: One or more logical operator(s) in the query predicates could not be processed, possibly due to invalid operator(s).

QSM-01044: join back attempted on a view for string

Cause: Query Rewrite will not occur if a join back to a table is required to find any missing columns.

Action: none

QSM-01046: complex join back on correlated columns not allowed (string)

Cause: Query Rewrite will not occur if a join back is required on a column that is referenced by a sub-query.

Action: none

QSM-01047: complex join back on non-MAV rewrite not allowed (string)

Cause: Query Rewrite can occur by means of a complex join back only during a MAV rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01048: join back level(s) not present (string)

Cause: Query Rewrite requires joining back to a level of a dimension to find a missing information.

Action: Consider creating a dimension.

QSM-01049: semi-join check failed for materialized view, string

Cause: If there is a semi join in the query, then Query Rewrite will create (select distinct <pk-list>, <ref-col> from mjv) where <pk-list> is the list of rowids/pk of all mjv tables that don"t correspond to a right side of a semi-join and <ref-col> are their columns. Query Rewrite will not occur if a join from the materialized view cannot match the semi-join from the query.

Action: none

QSM-01050: roll-up check failed for materialized view, string

Cause: A column in the query cannot be computed from the materialized view.

Action: Consider creating a dimension to supply the missing information

QSM-01051: no support for rollup when a window function is present on the column

Cause: No query rewrite if a window function is present on a column that requires a roll-up to compute a measure.

Action: none

QSM-01052: referential integrity constraint on table, string, not VALID in ENFORCED integrity mode

Cause: A join present in the materialized view requires validated primary/foreign key constraints in ENFORCED query rewrite integrity mode.

Action: Validate the constraint or change the integrity mode with ALTER SESSION SET QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = STALE_TOLERATED command.

QSM-01053: NORELY referential integrity constraint on table, string, in TRUSTED/STALE TOLERATED integrity mode

Cause: A join present in the materialized view requires RELY mode to be set on the primary/foreign key constraints.

Action: Set the RELY mode with ALTER TABLE <table> MODIFY CONSTRAINT <constraint> RELY command. Alternatively validate the constraint with ALTER TABLE <table> VALIDATE CONSTRAINT <constraint>.

QSM-01054: no join match between query and summary, string

Cause: There are no common joins between the query and the the materialized view

Action: none

QSM-01055: Query Rewrite failed to allocate the necessary materialized view join graph

Cause: Join graph allocation and initialization failed, possibly due to one or more undetermined operand(s).

Action: none

QSM-01056: no query rewrite for this DDL expression

Cause: Some SELECT statements which are part of a DDL expression may be eligible for rewrite. These include CREATE AS SELECT and CREATE OUTLINE statements. The given query expression is a DDL expression, which doesn"t fall in this category.

Action: none

QSM-01057: no query rewrite for this DML expression

Cause: Current DML is being done using an updatable view, so it is not eligible for rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01058: MV, string, does not have column, string, for a joinback

Cause: A GROUP BY column in the query is not present in the GROUP BY clause of of the materialized view. This usually requires a join back to a third table.

Action: none

QSM-01059: HAVING clause in the query block is malformed

Cause: An illegal HAVING clause has been specified in the query.

Action: Correct the query syntax and run the query again.

QSM-01060: illegal subquery in the HAVING clause

Cause: When a HAVING clause has a subquery, then any references to the tables in the outer query should only reference the tables in the GROUP BY clause.

Action: Correct error in the syntax and rerun the query.

QSM-01061: illegal query expression

Cause: An illegal query was specified. Specifically one of the following criteria was not satisfied: (a) All (non-constant, non-aggregate) SELECT expressions in the query should be made up of group expressions. (b) All column references in the HAVING clause should come from the GROUP BY expressions. (c) If there is an ORDER BY clause, then all column references should come from the GROUP BY or SELECT clause, depending on whether the query selects DISTINCT.

Action: Correct error in the syntax and rerun the query.

QSM-01062: query has one or more manual partition(s)

Cause: Query rewrite is not possible if query has any manual partitions.

Action: none

QSM-01063: query has a dictionary table or view

Cause: Query rewrite will not occur, if the materialized view cannot provide all the columns that the query has

Action: none

QSM-01067: materialized view, string, cannot support the query measure, string

Cause: An attempt was made to push a grouping function through an expression specified in the query to transform a measure. Query rewrite will not occur if this measure transformation failed.

Action: none

QSM-01068: no dimensions present

Cause: An attempt was made to load a dimension from the dataware house, but there were no dimensions present.

Action: none

QSM-01069: summary join graph for, string, does not have table, string

Cause: An attempt to locate an object that is part of a join failed.

Action: none

QSM-01070: equivalence class manager was not found

Cause: An equivalence class manager is required to compute the transitive closure for the columns in an equivalence class.

Action: none

QSM-01071: query rewrite not possible because a join in materialized view % with table % has eliminated some rows found in query

Cause: All lossy joins in the materialized view must be present in the query for query rewrite to occur.

Action: none

QSM-01072: materialized view, string, and query have different joins between tables, string

Cause: Anchors, if any, in the MV and query match. But the joins between these anchors in the MV and query are different.

Action: none

QSM-01073: query rewrite not possible because materialized view, string, has a join not found in query

Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the materialized view has some joins that query does not have

Action: none

QSM-01074: query rewrite not possible because materialized view, string, and query have different number of joins between tables, string

Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the query has some joins that the materialized view does not have between the same pair of tables.

Action: none

QSM-01075: materialized view, string, does not support aggregate function, string

Cause: The specified aggregate function is not found in the materialized view.

Action: none

QSM-01076: no materialized join view was found

Cause: To support an MJV rewrite, we require a materialized join view.

Action: none

QSM-01077: materialized view, string, is grouping at a higher level than query

Cause: If a query column, which is not present in the materialized view, can be obtained by a rollup within the materialized view, then it should group at a higher level than the materialized view.

Action: none

QSM-01078: materialized view, string, is marked invalid

Cause: The materialized view"s kglobsta field has KGLSINV bit set.

Action: none ??

QSM-01079: DML operation occurred on a table referenced by MV, string

Cause: If any dependent tables of a materialized view undergoes a DML operation, query rewrite may be restricted depending on the query rewrite integrity mode for the session. In this situation, query rewrite will take place only if the rewrite integrity mode is STALE_TOLERATED.

Action: Consider refreshing the materialized view chaning the rewrite integrity mode to STALE_TOLERATED.

QSM-01080: invalid dimension, string

Cause: This dimension table has authorization or compilation problems.

Action: none

QSM-01081: no primary key or row id found for table, string, in MV, string

Cause: In order to obtain a missing column, the materialized view needs to join back to the above table. But it lacks the primary key or rowid for the table.

Action: none

QSM-01082: Joining materialized view, string, with table, string, not possible

Cause: A column in the query is not found in the summary. To obtain the column, a join back of materialized view to the table by means of either the primary key, foreign key or rowid of the table is required. The specified materialized view does not have the primary key, foreign key or rowid of the table to perform the join operation.

Action: Consider building a dimension-table to provide the missing information.

QSM-01083: query text not available - possible inline view

Cause: During the query rewrite transformation, orignal query was possibly transformed into an inline view.

Action: none

QSM-01084: materialized view string has an anchor table string not found in query

Cause: A table in a materialized view is an anchor, (a) if it is not joined to any other table or (b) joined to other tables but each of its joins is either lossy or lossless with the above table being child-side table. If an anchor which is present in the materialized view is not found in the query, then query rewrite will not take place.

Action: none

QSM-01085: materialized view, string, has a lossy join between tables, string

Cause: There are no primary key, foreign key constraints between these tables. But query rewrite is still possible if the lossy join between the above tables also appear in the query

Action: none

QSM-01086: dimension(s) not present or not used in ENFORCED integrity mode

Cause: Query rewrite does not use dimensions in ENFORCED query rewrite integrity mode. If a suitable dimension is present, consider chaning the current integrity mode to either TRUSTED or STALE_ TOLERATED by using ALTER SESSION SET QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = command.

Action: none

QSM-01087: query grouping on a column that cannot be derived from materialized view, string

Cause: Query is grouping on undetermined columns.

Action: none

QSM-01089: an inline view in the query does not have a materialized view

Cause: General query rewrite is not possible if an inline view in the query does not have a matching materialized view in the meta data.

Action: none

QSM-01090: no query rewrite after view merging

Cause: Internal session parameter _QUERY_REWRITE_1 is set to FALSE

Action: Change session parameter with ALTER SESSION command.

QSM-01091: cost based optimizer found query rewrite is more expensive

Cause: When cost based optimizer is ON, cost of the rewritten cursor is compared to the cursor generated without query rewrite, and the cheaper one is chosen for execution.

Action: none

QSM-01092: mjv tries to rewrite a semi-join and primary key or rowid missing

Cause: Materialized join view tries to rewrite a semi-join (IN sub-query) and the primary keys or rowids of left tables of semi-joins are missing from MJV.

Action: none

QSM-01093: anti-join marker not found in materialized join view

Cause: Materialized join view has outer join while the query inner join. For rewrite to succeed MV must have an anti-join marker like the rowid or primary key of the right tables of outer join

Action: none

QSM-01094: outer-join filter not found in materialized join view

Cause: Materialized join view has outer join while the query inner join. For rewrite to succeed MV must have an anti-join marker like the rowid or primary key of the right tables of outer join

Action: none

QSM-01095: no suitable grouping_id found in MV with grouping sets

Cause: If materialized aggregate view contains grouping sets, then it also must contain the grouping_id() function. This function must contain all columns in the MV GROUP BY.

Action: none

QSM-01096: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates

Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates and no rewrite is supported for it. For example, GROUP BY GROUPING SET ((a), (a)) is not supported for rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01097: Materialized view with grouping sets has too long key

Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets has more that 64 different keys in its GROUP BY. No rewrite is supported then.

Action: none

QSM-01098: mv string clause more restrictive than query string clause

Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE or HAVING clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request query.

Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.

QSM-01099: non-tolerated reference to stale portion of mv for table string

Cause: The materialized view is partially stale. It is stale with respect to one or more partitions in one or more of its detail tables. The request query references one or more such detail partitions.

Action: (1) Change the selection criteria of the request to restrict the query to only the fresh portion of the materialized view, or (2) ALTER {SYSTEM|SESSION} QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = STALE_TOLERATED or (3) refresh the materialized view.

QSM-01100: containment check failed for mv, string

Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE or HAVING clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request query.

Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.

QSM-01101: rollup(s) took place on mv, string

Cause: If query"s GROUP BY has one of the higher levels of columns found in the materialized view, then the lower level columns in the materialized view will be rolled up to compute the desired results.

Action: none

QSM-01102: materialized view, string, requires join back to table, string, on column, string

Cause: A column in the query does not appear in the materialized view. Query rewrite will try to obtain this column from the base table, by doing a join back to that column with the MV.

Action: none

QSM-01103: there is a remote table, string, referenced in the query

Cause: Query rewrite does not support query with remote tables.

Action: none

QSM-01104: query is using flashback

Cause: Query rewrite does not support flashback.

Action: none

QSM-01105: no primary key or row id in MV, string, is found for table, string

Cause: In order to obtain a missing column, the materialized view needs to join back to the above table. But it lacks the primary key or rowid for the table.

Action: none

QSM-01106: materialized view, string, is stale with respect to some partition(s) in the base table(s)

Cause: Query is requesting some data from the MV that are stale with respect to some partitions in the base tables due to some updates.

Action: refresh the stale partitions and rerun the query

QSM-01107: Partition Containment Tracking (PCT) rewrite is not allowed

Cause: Query rewrite is disabled for PCT through a session parameter

Action: none

QSM-01108: maximum number of disjuncts exceeded in the query string

Cause: Query rewrite engine cannot process the query if the number of disjuncts (OR"s)in the WHERE clause exceeds the maximum allowed number. The number of disjuncts in the query and the maximum allowed disjuncts are given at the end of the message in the form of (no of disjuncts in query, maximum disjuncts allowed).

Action: none

QSM-01109: while rewriting with MV, string, table, string, migrated to query delta

Cause: There was an unmatched join on the MV, so a table involved in the join was pushed to the query delta to see if the query can be rewritten

Action: none

QSM-01110: query rewrite not possible with materialized view string because it contains a join between tables (string) that is not present in the query and that potentially eliminates rows needed by the query

Cause: All lossy joins in the materialized view must be present in the query for query rewrite to occur.

Action: none

QSM-01111: no partition key or partition marker found in MV, string

Cause: In order to do query rewrite with fresh partitions of an MV, the MV should have a partiton key or partition marker.

Action: none

QSM-01112: WHERE clause of mv, string, is more restrictive than query

Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request query.

Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.

QSM-01113: HAVING clause of mv, string, is more restrictive than query

Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the HAVING clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request query.

Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.

QSM-01115: rollup took place on a column with a window function

Cause: There was a rollup to aggregate the data on a column with a window function.

Action: none

QSM-01116: window function computability checks failed

Cause: The window function in the query could not be computed from the materialized view.

Action: Consider using aliases in the query to match with the aliases in the materialized view

QSM-01124: set operator materialized view, string, doesn"t have a marker column

Cause: The specified set operator materialized view does not have a marker column.

Action: Add a marker column to the specified materialized view.

QSM-01125: a more optimal set operator materialized view than string was used to rewrite

Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal set operator materialized view based on parameters, such as cardinality of the set operator materialized view, number of branches that the set operator materialized view can rewrite etc. The set operator materialized view specified was found to be less optimal.

Cause: If the query contains nested aggregates, CONNECT BY clause, or START WITH clause, query rewrite will not take place

Action: none

QSM-01214: query rewrite not possible if OR is the top level operator in query WHERE clause

Cause: If the top-level operator in the WHERE clause is an OR and there is more than one table in the FROM list, then query rewrite will not take place.

Action: none

QSM-01215: query rewrite not possible when query GROUP BY clause has non-columns

Cause: No query rewrite, if there is no valid column in the GROUP BY clause.

Action: none

QSM-01218: query rewrite is likely more expensive due to a single table match between materialized view and query

Cause: Materialized join view is more expensive for rewrite than using the base table

Action: none.

QSM-01219: no suitable materialized view found to rewrite this query

Cause: There doesn"t exist any materialized view in the database that can be used to rewrite this query.

Action: Consider creating a new materialized view.

QSM-01220: materialized view, string, is disabled, stale or unusable

Cause: Materialized view is probably disabled or stale.

Action: Consider enabling the materialized view for rewrite or refreshing it.

QSM-01222: materialized view string is less optimal than string

Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal materialized view based on certain parameters, such as cardinality of the materialized view, number of joins etc. The materialized view specified was found to be less optimal.

Action: To force using a materialized view, consider using a rewrite hint.

QSM-01241: query measure cannot be derived from the materialized view string

Cause: If a measure (such as SUM, AVERAGE) in the query cannot be matched or computed from the materialized view, it will not be used for rewrite.

Action: none

Cause: Query Rewrite can occur by means of a complex join back only during a MAV rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01248: materialized view does not have the join back level(s) (string)

Cause: Query Rewrite requires joining back to level of a dimension to find missing information.

Action: Consider creating a dimension.

QSM-01251: query rewrite cannot perform rollup due to the presence of a window function

Cause: No query rewrite if a window function is present on a column that requires a roll-up to compute a measure.

Action: none

QSM-01256: query rewrite not possible for this DDL statement

Cause: Some SELECT statements which are part of a DDL expression may be eligible for rewrite. These include CREATE AS SELECT and CREATE OUTLINE statements. The given query expression is a DDL expression, which doesn"t fall in this category.

Action: none

QSM-01257: query rewrite not possible for this DML statement

Cause: Current DML is being done using an updatable view, so it is not eligible for rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01263: query rewrite not possible when query references a dictionary table or view

Cause: Query rewrite is not allowed if query references any dictionary tables/views.

Action: none

QSM-01271: query rewrite not possible because a join in materialized view string with table string has eliminated some rows found in query

Cause: A join from the materialized view to any table that eliminates some rows should be be present in the query. Otherwise query rewrite will not occur.

Action: none

QSM-01273: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string has a join not found in query

Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the materialized view has some joins that query does not have

Action: none

QSM-01274: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string and query have different number of joins between tables string

Cause: Query rewrite may not be possible if the query has some joins that the materialized view does not have between the same pair of tables.

Action: none

QSM-01279: query rewrite not possible because DML operation occurred on a table referenced by materialized view string

Cause: If any dependent tables of a materialized view undergoes a DML operation, query rewrite may be restricted depending on the query rewrite integrity mode for the session. In this situation, query rewrite will take place only if the rewrite integrity mode is STALE_TOLERATED.

Action: Consider refreshing the materialized view changing the rewrite integrity mode to STALE_TOLERATED.

QSM-01281: query rewrite not possible because either a primary key or a row id is required to join table string with MV string

Cause: In order to obtain a missing column, the materialized view needs to join back to the above table. But it lacks the primary key or rowid for the table.

Action: none

QSM-01284: materialized view string has an anchor table string not found in query

Cause: A table in a materialized view is an anchor, (a) if it is not joined to any other table or (b) joined to other tables but each of its joins is not guaranteed to provide all the rows or joined with the above table being child-side table. If an anchor which is present in the materialized view is not found in the query, then query rewrite will not take place.

Action: none

QSM-01293: anti-join marker not found in materialized view with joins

Cause: Materialized view has outer join while the query has inner join. For rewrite to succeed MV must have an anti-join marker like the rowid or primary key of the right tables of outer join

Action: none

QSM-01295: no suitable grouping_id found in materialized view with grouping sets

Cause: If materialized view contains grouping sets, then it also must contain the grouping_id() function. This function must contain all columns in the MV GROUP BY.

Action: none

QSM-01296: query rewrite not possible because materialized view contains duplicate grouping sets

Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets contains duplicates and no rewrite is supported for it. For example, GROUP BY GROUPING SET ((a), (a)) is not supported for rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01297: query rewrite not possible because materialized view with grouping sets has more than 64 different keys

Cause: Materialized view with grouping sets has more that 64 different keys in its GROUP BY. No rewrite is supported then.

Action: none

QSM-01298: materialized view string clause more restrictive than query string clause

Cause: The materialized view contains a selection condition in the WHERE or HAVING clause that is more restrictive than the corresponding selection condition in the request query.

Action: Change the selection criteria in the request query to be at least as restrictive as the selection criteria in the materialized view, or drop and recreate the materialized view using less restrictive selection criteria.

QSM-01299: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string is partially stale

Cause: The materialized view is partially stale. It is stale with respect to one or more partitions in one or more of its detail tables. The request query references one or more such detail partitions.

Action: (1) Change the selection criteria of the request to restrict the query to only the fresh portion of the materialized view, or (2) ALTER {SYSTEM|SESSION} QUERY_REWRITE_INTEGRITY = STALE_TOLERATED or (3) refresh the materialized view.

QSM-01303: query rewrite not possible because query references a remote table string

Cause: Query rewrite does not support query with remote tables.

Cause: Query rewrite engine cannot process the query if the number of disjuncts (OR"s)in the WHERE clause exceeds the maximum allowed number. The number of disjuncts in the query and the maximum allowed disjuncts are given at the end of the message in the form of (no of disjuncts in query, maximum disjuncts allowed).

Action: none

QSM-01316: window function could not be computed from materialized view string

Cause: The window function in the query could not be computed from the materialized view.

Action: none

QSM-01321: query rewrite not possible because materialized view string has TRUSTED constraints in ENFORCED integrity mode

Cause: A stale materialized view created with USING TRUSTED CONSTRAINTS clause cannot be used when the query rewrite integrity mode is set ENFORCED.

Action: Alter materialized view such that it has the ENFORCED CONSTRAINTS ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW <mv> REFRESH USING ENFORCED CONSTRAINTS

QSM-01332: query rewrite not possible because query has a named array type column

Cause: When the query has a column of named array type, query rewrite cannot be done

Action: none

QSM-01333: query rewrite not possible because query has an ADT column

Cause: When the query has a column of ADT type, query rewrite cannot be done

Action: none

QSM-01334: query rewrite not possible because query has a hidden or nested table column

Cause: When the query has a hidden or nested table column, query rewrite cannot be done

Cause: When the query has a column stored in LOB, query rewrite cannot be done

Action: none

QSM-01336: the materialized view you specified (string) was not used to rewrite the query

Cause: A materialized view specified by the user in the input was not used to rewrite the query, either because query rewrite failed or another more optimal materialized view was used to rewrite.

Action: none

QSM-01509: equivalence, string, matched query text

Cause: The query was rewritten using an equivalence, because query text matched the source statement for this equivalence.

Action: none

QSM-01522: a more optimal equivlanece than string was used to rewrite

Cause: Query Rewrite always chooses the most optimal equivalence based on certain parameters, such as cardinality of the equivalence, number of joins etc. The equivalence view specified was found to be less optimal.

Action: none

QSM-01526: query rewrite is disabled for equivalence, string

Cause: Query rewrite could not use this equivalence, because this equivalence was created as disabled.

Action: Enable this equivalence using alter_rewrite_equivalence procedure from package, dbms_advanced_rewrite.

QSM-01533: query rewritten with equivalence, string

Cause: The specified equivalence was used to rewrite the given query.

Action: none

QSM-01565: equivalence, string, cannot compute measure, string, in the query

Cause: If a measure in the query cannot be computed using the measures in the equivalence, then query rewrite will not occur.

Action: none

QSM-01567: equivalence, string, cannot support the query measure, string

Cause: An attempt was made to push a grouping function through an expression specified in the query to transform a measure. Query rewrite will not occur if this measure transformation failed.

Action: none

QSM-01572: equivalence, string, and query have different joins between tables, string

Cause: Anchors, if any, in the equivalenceand query match. But the joins between these anchors in the equivalence and query are different.

Action: none

QSM-01582: Joining equivalence, string, with table, string, not possible

Cause: A column in the query is not found in the equivalence. To obtain the column, a join back of equivalence to the table by means of either the primary key, foreign key or rowid of the table is required. But join backs are not allowed for equivalence rewrite

Action: none

QSM-01584: equivalence, string, has anchor, string, not found in query

Cause: If an anchor which is present in the equivalence is not found in the query, then query rewrite will not take place.

Action: none

QSM-01601: rollup(s) took place on equivalence, string

Cause: If query"s GROUP BY has one of the higher levels of columns found in the equivalence, then the lower level columns in the equivalence will be rolled up to compute the desired results.

Action: none

QSM-01602: equivalence, string, requires join back to table, string, on column, string

Cause: A column in the query does not appear in the equivalence. Query rewrite will try to obtain this column from the base table, by doing a join back to that column with a materialized view. But join backs are not allowed for equivalence rewrite as the required constraints are not guaranteed to be found on the tables in the destination statement of the equivalence.

Action: none

QSM-01610: a lossy join in equivalence, string, between tables, string, not found in query

Cause: All lossy joins in the equivalence must be present in the query for query rewrite to occur.

Action: none

QSM-01617: equivalence definition is disabled

Cause: There is an equivalence defition that could have been probably used by query rewrite to rewrite the query. But this equivalence is disabled.

Action: none

QSM-01618: equivalence, string, is enabled for text match rewrite only

Cause: This equivalence was created for text match rewrite only

Action: none

QSM-01619: equivalence cannot be used in ENFORCED integrity mode

Cause: An equivalence cannot be used for query rewrite when the query rewrite integrity mode is set to ENFORCED.

Action: none

QSM-01621: join backs to base tables not allowed with an equivalence

Cause: Query rewrite needs to do a join back to a base table column to answer this query. But join back is not allowed for an equivalence rewrite

Action: none

QSM-02001: clustered mv container table

Cause: The capability in question is not supported on a materialized view that has a clustered container table.

Action: Recreate the materialized view using a conventional container table.

QSM-02002: DISTINCT aggregate measure in SELECT list

Action: Use the CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW LOG command to create a materialized view log on the master table.

QSM-02163: cannot use object id columns from materialized view log

Cause: The materialized view log either does not have object id columns logged, or the timestamp associated with the object id columns is more recent than the last refresh time.

Action: A complete refresh is required before the next fast refresh. Add object id columns to the materialized view log, if required.

QSM-02169: the materialized view contains partition extended table name

Cause: Fast refresh of materialized aggregate views and/or materialized join views are not supported if they were defined using partition extended table names.

Action: Create the fast refreshable materialized view without using partition extended table names or create the materialized view as a complete refresh materialized view.

Action: Check each query block in the UNION ALL to ensure it is either a materialized view with joins or aggregates.

QSM-02176: MV with UNION ALL in a view is too complex

Cause: If a materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION ALL query, then the materialized view"s defining query cannot have any clauses other than SELECT or FROM. Other clauses such as WHERE, HAVING, CONNECT BY, or GROUP BY are not allowed. Further more, the FROM clause should have only one item.

Action: Remove any clauses besides SELECT and FROM from the materialized view"s defining query.

QSM-02177: MV with UNION ALL in a view must match the view"s SELECT list

Cause: If a materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION ALL query, then the materialized view"s select list must match the underlying view"s select list exactly. It must not have any expressions and must not have add/drop/reorder columns from the underlying view.

Action: Use select * when defining a materialized view with a UNION ALL in a view.

QSM-02178: MV has a view with UNION ALL that is not fast refreshable

Cause: The materialized view has a view whose definition involves a UNION ALL query that does not satisfy the requirements for fast refresh.

Action: Check that the defining query of the view being referenced in the materialized view satisfies conditions for fast refresh of a UNION ALL materialized view.

QSM-02179: MV with UNION ALL requires compatibility >= 9.2

Cause: The setting of the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is less than 9.2.0.

Action: Set COMPATIBLE to 9.2.0 or higher.

QSM-02180: no primary key constraint in the master table

Cause: The explain_mview assumes that the materialized view is going to be created as the Primary Key materialized view. A Primary Key materialized view can not be created if the base table does not have a primary key constraint.

Action: Add a primary key constraint to the base table, or create the materialized view as Rowid MV by specifying the WITH ROWID option. If the materialized view is a Rowid MV, then it should be able to do complete refresh and even fast refresh, given that the materialized view log on the master table has a rowid.

OCI-21560: argument string is null, invalid, or out of range

Cause: The argument is expecting a non-null, valid value but the argument value passed in is null, invalid, or out of range. Examples include when the LOB/FILE positional or size argument has a value outside the range 1 through (4GB - 1), or when an invalid open mode is used to open a file, etc.

Action: Check your program and correct the caller of the routine to not pass a null, invalid or out-of-range argument value.

OCI-21600: path expression too long

Cause: The path expression that is supplied by the user is too long. The path expression is used to specify the position of an attribute in an object. This error occurs when one of the intermediate elements in the path expression refers to an attribute of a built-in type. Thus, the OCI function cannot proceed on to process the rest of the elements in the path expression.

Action: User should pass in the correct path expression to locate the attribute.

OCI-21601: attribute is not an object

Cause: The user attempts to perform an operation (that is valid only for an object) to an attribute of a built-in type. An example of such an illegal operation is to dynamically set a null structure to an attribute of a built-in type.

Action: User should avoid performing such operation to an attribute of built-in type.

Action: Use a key that already exists.

OCI-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete

Cause: User attempted to perform an inappropriate operation to an object that is non-existent or marked for delete. Operations such as pinning, deleting and updating cannot be applied to an object that is non-existent or marked for delete.

Action: User needs to re-initialize the reference to reference an existent object or the user needs to unmark the object.

OCI-21701: attempt to flush objects to different servers

Cause: User attempted to flush objects to different servers in one function call. These objects are obtained by calling a callback functions provided by the program.

Action: User should avoid performing such operation.

OCI-21702: object is not instantiated or has been de-instantiated in cache

Cause: User attempted to perform an inappropriate operation to a transient object that is not instantiated in the object cache. Operations that cannot be applied to a not-instantiated transient object include deleting or pinning such an object.

Action: User should check their code to see if they are performing such an operation without instantiating the object first, or performing such an operation after the allocation duration of the object has expired.

OCI-21703: cannot flush an object that is not modified

Cause: See the error message.

Action: The object should not be flushed.

OCI-21704: cannot terminate cache or connection without flushing first

Cause: See the error message.

Action: The transaction should be aborted or committed before terminating the cache or connection.

OCI-21705: service context is invalid

Cause: The service context that is supplied by the user is not valid.

Action: User needs to establish the service context.

OCI-21706: duration does not exist or is invalid

Cause: The duration number that is supplied by the user is not valid.

Action: User needs to establish the duration or use a correct predefined duration.

OCI-21707: pin duration is longer than allocation duration

Cause: The pin duration supplied by the user is longer than the allocation duration. This affects operations such as pinning and setting default parameters.

Action: User should use a shorter pin duration or use the null duration.

OCI-21708: inappropriate operation on a transient object

Cause: User attempted to perform an inappropriate operation on a transient object. Operations that cannot be applied to a transient object include flushing and locking.

Action: User should avoid performing such operation on a transient object.

OCI-21709: cannot refresh an object that has been modified

Cause: User attempted to refresh an object that has been marked for delete, update or insert (new).

Action: User should unmark the object before refreshing it.

OCI-21710: argument is expecting a valid memory address of an object

Cause: The object memory address that is supplied by the user is invalid. The user may have passed in a bad memory address to a function that is expecting a valid memory address of an object.

Action: User should pass in a valid memory address of an object to the function.

OCI-21779: duration not active

Cause: User is trying to use a duration that has been terminated.

Action: Check for the existence of the element prior to calling this function.

OCI-22163: left hand and right hand side collections are not of same type

Cause: Left hand and right side collections are not of same type.

Action: Ensure that the same collection type is passed for both left hand and right hand side of this function.

OCI-22164: delete element operation is not allowed for variable-length array

Cause: Trying to delete an element of a variable-length array.

Action: Ensure that the collection is not a variable-length array prior to calling this function.

OCI-22165: given index [string] must be in the range of [string] to [string]

Cause: Given index is not in the required range.

Action: Ensure that the given index is in the required range.

OCI-22166: collection is empty

Cause: Given collection is empty.

Action: Test if collection is empty prior to invoking this function.

OCI-22167: given trim size [string] must be less than or equal to [string]

Cause: Given trim size is greater than the current collection size.

Action: Ensure that the given size is less than or equal to the collection size prior to calling this function.

OCI-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.

Action: For (1), initialize the LOB locator by selecting into the locator variable or by setting the LOB locator to empty. For (2) and (3), pass the correct type of locator into the routine. For (4), remove the trigger body code that updates the LOB value.

OCI-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

OCI-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.

OCI-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.

OCI-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.

OCI-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.

OCI-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.

OCI-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.

OCI-22285: non-existent directory or file for string operation

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.

OCI-22286: insufficient privileges on directory or file 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.

OCI-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.

OCI-22288: file operation string failed string

Cause: The operation attempted on the file failed.

Action: See the next error message for more detailed information. Also, verify that the file exists and that the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If the error still persists, report the error to the DBA.

OCI-22289: cannot perform string operation on an unopened file

Cause: The file is not open for the required operation to be performed.

Action: Check that the current operation is preceded by a successful file open operation.

OCI-22290: operation would exceed the maximum number of opened files

Cause: The number of open files has reached the maximum limit.

Action: Close some of the opened files and retry the operation.

OCI-22303: type "string"."string" not found

Cause: The user is trying to obtain information for a type that cannot be found.

Action: Check that the schema is correct and that the type has been created correctly.

OCI-22305: attribute/method/parameter "string" not found

Cause: Type element with the given name is not found in the type.

Action: Check to make sure that the type element exists.

OCI-22306: type "string"."string" already exists

Cause: The user is trying to create a type that already exists.

Action: Check to make sure that the type has not been created prior to this.

OCI-22307: type to alter is not a user-defined type

Cause: The user is trying to alter a built-in type.

Action: Check to make sure that only user-defined types are being altered.

OCI-22309: attribute with name "string" already exists

Cause: The user is attempting to create an object type where more than one attributes have the same name.

Action: Check to make sure that all attribute names are unique.

OCI-22311: type for attribute "string" does not exist

Cause: The type of the attribute does not exist.

Action: No types were created/modified for this DDL transaction. Redo the DDL transaction and add the creation of the attribute"s type in the DDL transaction.

OCI-22313: cannot use two versions of the same type "string"

Action: Remove either the PIPE or CMDFILE option.

RMAN-00577: PIPE requires that TARGET be specified on the command line

Cause: The PIPE option obtains its input from, and writes its output to, an Oracle database pipe in the target database. Therefore, the target database connection must be specified on the command line, so that RMAN can connect to the target database to receive its input from the pipe.

Action: Specify the TARGET option on the RMAN command line.

RMAN-00578: pipe string is not private and owned by SYS

Cause: The pipe that RMAN needs to use for its input or output is either a public pipe or a private pipe that is not owned by SYS. This is a potential security problem, because it allows a non-SYS user to issue commands to RMAN or to retrieve the RMAN output.

Action: If you are attempting to put data on the RMAN input pipe prior to starting RMAN, so RMAN will process the data on the pipe as soon as it starts, you must be connected as SYS and you must first use the dbms_pipe.create_pipe function to explicitely create the pipe as a private pipe.

RMAN-00579: SCRIPT cannot be used with CMDFILE

Cause: The SCRIPT and CMDFILE options cannot be used together. When using the SCRIPT option, RMAN executes only the specified script.

Action: Use this option only for datafile and control file restores.

RMAN-06022: invalid level specified for image copy: number

Cause: An invalid incremental backup level was specified for an image copy.

Action: Incremental backup level must be 0 for image copies.

RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile number found to restore

Cause: A datafile, tablespace, or database restore could not proceed because no backup or copy of the indicated file was found. It may be the case that a backup or copy of this file exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands.

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06024: no backup or copy of the control file found to restore

Cause: A control file restore could not proceed because no backup or copy of the control file was found. It may be the case that a backup or copy of this file exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands.

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread number seq number lowscn string found to restore

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore

Cause: Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.

Action: The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list.

RMAN-06027: no archive logs found that match specification

Cause: An archive log record specifier did not match any archive logs in the recovery catalog.

Action: Resubmit the command with a different archive log record specifier. The rman LIST command can be used to display all archive logs that Recovery Manager knows about.

RMAN-06028: duplicate operand specified in restore specification: string

Cause: The CHANNEL, TAG, FROM, PARMS, VALIDATE, DEVICE TYPE, CHECK READONLY or DB_UNIQUE_NAME option was specified more than once in the restore command or in one of the restore specifications.

Action: Correct and resubmit the comand.

RMAN-06029: the control file may be included only in a datafile backup set

Cause: The "include current/standby control file" option was specified for an archive log backup set.

Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.

RMAN-06030: the DELETE [ALL] INPUT option may not be used with a datafile backup set

Cause: The DELETE [ALL] INPUT option was specified for a backup that contains the current control file or datafiles.

Action: Remove the option and resubmit the command.

RMAN-06031: could not translate database keyword

Cause: An error was received when calling dbms_rcvman

Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.

RMAN-06032: at least 1 channel of TYPE DISK must be allocated to execute a COPY command

Cause: No channel of TYPE DISK was allocated.

Action: Allocate a channel of TYPE DISK and re-issue the command.

RMAN-06033: channel string not allocated

Cause: An rman command requests a specific channel, but the requested channel has not been allocated.

Action: ALLOCATE the channel, or correct the channel identifier.

RMAN-06034: at least 1 channel must be allocated to execute this command

Cause: No channels were allocated.

Action: ALLOCATE a channel.

RMAN-06035: wrong version of recover.bsq, expecting string, found string

Cause: The "recover.bsq" file is incompatible with the RMAN executable.

Action: Install the correct version of recover.bsq.

RMAN-06036: datafile number is already restored to file string

Cause: A SET NEWNAME command was issued to restore a datafile to a location other than the original datafile, and Recovery Manager determined that the best candidate for restoring the file is the datafile copy with the same name, therefore the file is already restored and no action need be taken.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06038: recovery catalog package detected an error

Cause: A call to dbms_rcvman returned an error.

Action: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.

RMAN-06039: no set newname command has been issued for datafile number

Cause: A SWITCH command was specified for a datafile, but no destination was specified and no SET NEWNAME command has been previously issued for that file. An explicit file to switch to must be specified if no SET NEWNAME command has been issued.

Action: Correct and resubmit the SWITCH command.

RMAN-06040: control file is already restored to file string

Cause: The best candidate control file for restoration is the one that is named in the RESTORE CONTROLFILE command, hence no action need be taken.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06041: cannot switch file number to copy of file number

Cause: An attempt was made to switch a datafile to a copy of a different datafile.

Action: Correct and resubmit the SWITCH command.

RMAN-06042: PLUS ARCHIVELOG option is not supported with non-datafile backups

Cause: The PLUS ARCHIVELOG option was supplied but does not apply to this type of backup.

Action: Remove the PLUS ARCHIVELOG operand and re-enter the command.

RMAN-06043: TAG option not supported for archive log copies

Cause: The tag option was supplied but does not apply to this type of copy.

Action: Remove the TAG operand and re-enter the command

RMAN-06045: LEVEL option not supported for archive log or current/standby control file copies

Cause: The LEVEL option was supplied but does not apply to this type of copy.

Action: Remove the LEVEL operand and re-enter the command.

RMAN-06046: archive log name: string

Cause: An error occurred while translating an archive log name to its recovery catalog recid/timestamp. This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.

Action: Check the accompanying errors.

RMAN-06047: duplicate datafile number specified for restoration from copy

Cause: The indicated datafile was specified more than once in the same restore command.

Action: Correct and resubmit the RESTORE command.

RMAN-06048: duplicate control file specified for restoration from copy

Cause: The control file was specified more than once in the same RESTORE command.

Action: Correct and resubmit the RESTORE command.

RMAN-06049: CHECK LOGICAL option not supported for archive log or current/standby control file copies

Cause: The check logical option was supplied but does not apply to this type of copy.

Action: Remove the CHECK LOGICAL operand and re-enter the command

RMAN-06050: archive log thread number sequence number is already on disk as file string

Cause: An archive log which was requested to be restored (either explicitely or via a range specification) does not need to be restored because it already exists on disk.

Action: None - this is an informational message

RMAN-06051: DELETE INPUT option not implemented yet

Cause: This option was specified in a backup specification.

Action: Remove the DELETE INPUT option.

RMAN-06052: no parent backup or copy of datafile number found

Cause: An incremental backup at level 1 or higher could not find any parent backup or copy of the indicated datafile. A level 0 backup of the datafile will be taken automatically.

Action: This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log

Cause: This message is accompanied with another message identifying the missing log. The log would be needed to perform the media recovery, but the log is not on disk and no backup set containing the log is available.

Action: Determine if a backup set containing the log can be made available. If so, then use the CHANGE command to make the backup set available and retry the command. If not, then a point in time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative.

RMAN-06054: media recovery requesting unknown log: thread string seq string lowscn string

Cause: Media recovery is requesting a log whose existance is not recorded in the recovery catalog or control file.

Action: If a copy of the log is available, then add it to the recovery catalog and/or control file via a CATALOG command and then retry the RECOVER command. If not, then a point in time recovery up to the missing log is the only alternative and database can be opened using ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS command.

RMAN-06055: could not find log sequence string thread string

Cause: A log which was on disk at the start of media recovery or which should have been restored from a backup set could not be found.

Action: Check the Recovery Manager message log to see if the log was restored by a previous job step. If so, then check the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view to see if the log is listed in the control file. If so, then validate that the log exists on disk and is readable. If the log was not restored, or was restored but no record of the log exists in V$ARCHIVED_LOG, then contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06056: could not access datafile number

Cause: A backup or copy could not proceed because the datafile header could not be read or the header was not valid.

Action: Make the datafile accessible or skip it.

RMAN-06057: a standby control file cannot be included along with a current control file

Cause: "current controlfile" was specified along with "standby controlfile".

Action: Remove "current controlfile" or "standby controlfile" from backup specification.

RMAN-06058: a current control file cannot be included along with a standby control file

Cause: "standby controlfile" was specified along with "current controlfile".

Action: Remove "standby controlfile" or "current controlfile" from backup specification.

RMAN-06059: expected archived log not found, lost of archived log compromises recoverability

Cause: The archived log was not found. The repository thinks it does exist. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is no backup, then the database is no longer recoverable across the point in time covered by the archived log. This may occur because the archived log was removed by an outside utility without updating the repository.

Action: If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and the archivelog has already been backed up, then you can synchronize the repository by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL. If the archivelog has not been previously backed up, then you should take a full backup of the database and archivelogs to preserve recoverability. Previous backups are not fully recoverable.

RMAN-06060: WARNING: skipping datafile compromises tablespace string recoverability

Cause: SKIP INACCESSIBLE or SKIP OFFLINE option resulted in skipping datafiles during BACKUP. If the datafile has in fact been lost and there is no backup, then the tablespace is no longer recoverable without ALL archive logs since datafile creation. This may occur because the datafile was deleted by an outside utility or the datafile is made OFFLINE [DROP].

Action: If there is no backup of skipped datafiles and the tablespace has to be recoverable without ALL archive logs since datafile creation, then you should make these datafiles available for backup.

RMAN-06061: WARNING: skipping archivelog compromises recoverability

Cause: SKIP INACCESSIBLE option resulted in skipping archivelogs during BACKUP. If the archived log has in fact been lost and there is no backup, then the database is no longer recoverable across the point in time covered by the archived log. This may occur because archived log was removed by an outside utility without updating the repository.

Action: If the archived log has been removed with an outside utility and the archivelog has already been backed up, then you can synchronize the repository by running CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL. If the archivelog has not been previously backed up, then you should take a full backup of the database and archivelogs to preserve recoverability. Previous backups are not fully recoverable.

RMAN-06062: 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 or modify the command.

RMAN-06063: DBID is not found in the recovery catalog

Cause: DBID is not found in the recovery catalog.

Action: Verify that the DBID is correct and restart the command.

RMAN-06064: creating datafile fno=string name=string

Cause: RESTORE/RECOVER command was issued and there were no backup available for the datafile.

Action: This is an informational message only.

RMAN-06065: The backup operand [string] conflicts with another specified operand.

Cause: The user attempted to use two (or more) conflicting operands within the same statement.

Action: Remove one or both of the conflicting operands.

RMAN-06066: the target database must be mounted when issuing a RECOVER command

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database control file is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06067: RECOVER DATABASE required with a backup or created control file

Cause: The control file has been restored from a backup or was created via ALTER DATABASE CREATE CONTROLFILE.

Action: Use the RECOVER DATABASE command to perform the recovery.

RMAN-06068: recovery aborted because of missing datafiles

Cause: This error should be accompanied by one or more instances of message ORA-06094.

Action: Refer to message ORA-06094.

RMAN-06069: the filename for datafile string is missing in the control file

Cause: Media recovery of a backup control file added this datafile to the control file, but it does not set the filename because that is unsafe.

Action: If the datafile is on disk, then issue ALTER DATABASE RENAME to correct the control file. Otherwise, RESTORE the datafile, and then use SWITCH to make it known to the control file. If the tablespace containing this datafile will be dropped, then reissue the RECOVER command with a SKIP clause to skip recovery of this tablespace.

RMAN-06070: DBWR could not identify datafile string

Cause: DBWR could not find the specified datafile.

Action: Ensure that the datafile exists and is accessible.

RMAN-06071: could not open datafile string

Cause: An error was encountered when trying to open the specified datafile.

Action: Ensure that the datafile exists and is accessible.

RMAN-06073: file header is corrupt for datafile string

Cause: ORACLE detected a corruption in the file header. A media failure has probably occurred.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06074: file string is not an ORACLE datafile

Cause: The file header indicates that this file is not a datafile. The file may have been overlaid or corrupted.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06075: datafile string does not belong to this database

Cause: The file header indicates that this file belongs to some other ORACLE database.

Action: RESTORE the datafile to a new location, then do a SWITCH, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06076: datafile string contains wrong datafile

Cause: The datafile header indicates the file contains a different datafile number.

Action: RESTORE the datafile, and then retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06077: datafile string is a different version than contained in the control file

Cause: The control file entry for this datafile specifies a different version of this datafile. Different versions of a datafile can exist when a tablespace is dropped, and a new tablespace is created which reuses the same datafile numbers.

Action: If the datafile is correct, the fix the control file by using the SWITCH command. Otherwise, RESTORE the correct version of this datafile and retry the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06078: the control file is older than datafile string

Cause: The control file appears to be older than the specified datafile, but it is not marked as a backup control file. This indicates that the control file has been replaced with an older version. This error does not occur when a backup controlfile which was created via Recovery Manager or the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE command is restored because such controlfiles are marked as backups.

Action: RESTORE a control file and perform RECOVER DATABASE.

RMAN-06079: database must be mounted to perform recovery

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, but the target database is not mounted.

Action: Issue ALTER DATABASE MOUNT.

RMAN-06080: SWITCH required for datafile string

Cause: The control file record for this datafile is for an older incarnation of the datafile. A SWITCH command must be issued to updated the control file before doing RECOVER.

Action: Issue SWITCH command then retry RECOVER.

RMAN-06081: error reading datafile header for datafile string, code string

Cause: X$KCVFH returned the specified code in the hxerr column when it was queried for the specified datafile.

Action: Ensure the datafile exists and is readable. Using a newer release of Recovery Manager may return a more meaningful error message. If you have no newer version of Recovery Manager, contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06082: datafile copy tag string is ambiguous

Cause: The specified tag refers to multiple datafile copies belonging to different datafiles.

Action: Specify the datafile copy by filename rather than by tag.

RMAN-06083: error when loading stored script string

Cause: The recovery catalog database returned an error. This error explains the cause of the problem.

Action: Correct the problem and retry.

RMAN-06084: the target database may not be mounted when issuing REPLICATE

Cause: A REPLICATE command was issued, but the target database is already mounted.

Action: dismount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE CLOSE and ALTER DATABASE DISMOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06085: must use SET NEWNAME command to restore datafile string

Cause: A RESTORE command for the specified datafile could not find a destination name for the specified datafile.

Action: Add a SET NEWNAME command prior to the RESTORE command to specify the restore destination for this file.

RMAN-06086: offline files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set

Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE option was specified for an archive log backup set.

Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.

RMAN-06087: read-only files may only be skipped in a datafile backup set

Cause: The SKIP READONLY option was specified for an archive log backup set.

Action: Use this option only for datafile backup sets.

RMAN-06088: datafile copy string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06089: archived log string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06090: error while looking up control file copy: string

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified control file copy in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the filename is entered correctly. If the control file copy was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06091: no channel allocated for maintenance (of an appropriate type)

Cause: A command was entered that requires a maintenance channel, and no maintenance channel is allocated, or none of the appropriate type.

Action: Use ALLOCATE CHANNEL FOR MAINTENANCE before deleting backup pieces, or using the CROSSCHECK or DELETE EXPIRED commands. Proxy copies require a non-DISK channel.

RMAN-06092: error while looking up backup piece

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup piece in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the backup piece was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06093: recovery catalog contains obsolete version of datafile string

Cause: The specified datafile number was dropped and then reused. The control file mounted by the target database contains the newer version of the datafile, but the recovery catalog contains information about only the older version.

Action: Issue a RESYNC command to update the recovery catalog, then reissue the failing command. If the error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

RMAN-06094: datafile string must be restored

Cause: A RECOVER command was issued, and the recovery catalog indicates the specified datafile should be part of the recovery, but this datafile is not listed in the control file, and cannot be found on disk.

Action: Issue a RESTORE command for this datafile, using the same UNTIL clause specified to the RECOVER command (if any), then reissue the RECOVER.

RMAN-06095: a backup control file must be restored to recover datafile string

Cause: The controfile currently mounted by the target database contains a newer incarnation of the datafile than the recovery catalog indicates is appropriate for the point-in-time being recovered to.

Action: Restore the control file, using the same UNTIL clause specified on the failing RECOVER command, then reissue the command. If no control file can be restored, then you should issue a CREATE CONTROLFILE command.

RMAN-06096: SWITCH required for newname of datafile string to take effect

Cause: A SET NEWNAME was issued for this datafile, but no SWITCH command was issued before the RECOVER command.

Action: Issue a SWITCH command to make the newname take effect before doing RECOVER.

RMAN-06098: the target database must be mounted when issuing a BACKUP command

Cause: A BACKUP command was issued, but the target database control file is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06099: error occurred in source file: string, line: number

Cause: See accompanying error

Action: See accompanying error

RMAN-06100: no channel to restore a backup or copy of datafile number

Cause: A datafile, tablespace, or database restore could not proceed because the backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06101: no channel to restore a backup or copy of the control file

Cause: A control file restore could not proceed because the backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06102: no channel to restore a backup or copy of log thread number seq number lowscn string

Cause: An archive log restore restore could not proceed because the backup of the indicated file exists on a device type that was not allocated for restore.

Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.

RMAN-06103: duplicate qualifier found in REPORT command: string

Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a REPORT qualifier list.

Action: delete the duplicate qualifier

RMAN-06105: duplicate qualifier found in LIST command: string

Cause: The indicated qualifier appears more than once in a LIST qualifier list.

Action: delete the duplicate qualifier

RMAN-06106: this command requires that target database be mounted

Cause: A command was issued that requires the target database to be mounted, but the target database is not mounted.

Action: Mount the target database control file by issuing ALTER DATABASE MOUNT via Enterprise Manager or Server Manager.

RMAN-06107: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS

Cause: The REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS command may report some files as requiring backups when they really do not, because the most current online status of the file is not known unless a current control file is mounted.

Action: No action is required, however, a current control file should be mounted, if possible, to get the most accurate REPORT output.

RMAN-06108: changed datafile copy unvailable

Cause: An attempte was made to DELETE EXPIRED an object which is not expired.

Action: Remove EXPIRED keyword, crosscheck object, or don"t delete object.

RMAN-06118: a backup control file older than SCN string must be used for this recovery

Cause: An attempt was made to recover the database, but some files had no backup, and were not present in the control file at the beginning of the restore. This happens when the control file used during the recovery is a backup control file taken before the creation of some of the files that had no backup. In this situation, the control file that is used must be taken before the creation of all files that have no backup. This will enable RMAN to automatically re-create all of the files that had no backup.

Action: Restore a control file that was backed up before the specified SCN. The following RMAN commands can be used to do this: SET UNTIL SCN <x>;(where <x> is the SCN displayed in the message) RESTORE CONTROLFILE;

RMAN-06119: uncataloged datafile copy

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06120: uncataloged archive log

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06122: CHANGE .. UNCATALOG not supported for BACKUPSET

Cause: The CHANGE BACKUPSET .. UNCATALOG command was entered. The UNCATALOG operation is not supported with backup set.

Action: Use CHANGE BACKUPSET .. DELETE instead.

RMAN-06123: operation not supported without the recovery catalog or mounted control file

Cause: A command was used which requires a connection to a recovery catalog database or the target database to be mounted. The command cannot be used when no backup repository is available.

Action: If a recovery catalog database is available, then connect to the recovery catalog and retry the command, otherwise enter a different command.

RMAN-06124: error while looking up datafile copy key: number

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified datafile copy key in the recovery catalog.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure.

RMAN-06125: error while looking up archive log key: number

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified archive log key in the recovery catalog.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure.

RMAN-06126: skipping offline file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it is offline and the SKIP OFFLINE option was specified.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06127: skipping read-only file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it is read only and the SKIP READONLY option was specified.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06128: skipping inaccessible file string

Cause: The indicated file will not be included in the backup set because it could not be read, and the SKIP INACCESSIBLE option was specified.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06129: invalid reserved channel ID: string

Cause: The specified channel id is invalid. DELETE and DEFAULT are reserved channel names and may not be specified by users.

Action: Specify a different channel ID.

RMAN-06131: skip offline/readonly only allowed with current control file

Cause: The SKIP OFFLINE and SKIP READONLY options are only permitted when the target database control file is current. When the target control file is not current, it is not possible to obtain a datafile"s offline/readonly status.

Action: Remove the skip option or mount a current control file on the target database.

RMAN-06132: cannot backup datafile string because it is not in the control file

Cause: A backup command was issued that includes the specified datafile, but the datafile is not listed in the control file. The control file is not current (it is a backup or a created control file).

Action: Recover the control file to make it current, then retry the backup command.

RMAN-06133: recovery catalog may have obsolete data for datafile string

Cause: A RESTORE UNTIL was issued, and the recovery catalog choose an older incarnation of the datafile than is listed in the control file.

Action: If the recovery catalog has correct data for the datafile, then restore a backup control file using the same UNTIL clause, then retry the datafile restore. Otherwise, restore a backup of the incarnation of the datafile listed in the control file.

RMAN-06134: host command complete

Cause: An operating system command has completed.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06135: error executing host command: string

Cause: A host command returned a non-zero return code.

Action: Correct the offending command.

RMAN-06136: ORACLE error from auxiliary database: string

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other error message(s) indicating the cause of the error.

Action: Check the accompanying errors.

RMAN-06137: must have recovery catalog for REPORT SCHEMA AT TIME

Cause: A "REPORT SCHEMA at_clause" command was issued, but there is no recovery catalog database.

Action: If you are not using a recovery catalog, then you may only issue the "REPORT SCHEMA" command with no at_clause.

RMAN-06138: control file not mounted - must specify AT clause with REPORT command

Cause: A "REPORT SCHEMA" with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and there is also no control file mounted at the target database, so there is no place to get the information about the current list of files comprising the database.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a control file at the target database.

RMAN-06139: WARNING: control file is not current for REPORT SCHEMA

Cause: A "REPORT SCHEMA" with no at_clause was issued, and there is no recovery catalog, and the control file mounted by the target instance is not current, so the information about the current list of datafiles may not be current.

Action: Use a recovery catalog or mount a current control file.

RMAN-06140: cannot specify TAG option with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The TAG option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no TAG associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the TAG option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06141: cannot specify ARCHIVELOG LIKE option with RESTORE

Cause: The ARCHIVELOG LIKE option was specified with RESTORE. This is not permitted because recovery catalog contains only those records that are not deleted from disk.

Action: Remove the ARCHIVELOG LIKE option and re-run the command.

RMAN-06142: DEVICE TYPE cannot be specified with this command

Cause: The DEVICE TYPE option was specified with a command that does not support it.

Action: Remove the DEVICE TYPE option and re-run the command.

RMAN-06143: LIKE may only be specified with COPY

Cause: The LIKE option was specified with a RMAN command. This is not permitted because only copies of datafiles, control files or archive logs have file names that may be tested with a LIKE operand.

Action: Remove the LIKE option and re-run the RMAN command.

RMAN-06144: FROM or UNTIL may not be specified with LIST INCARNATION

Cause: The FROM or UNTIL option was specified with LIST INCARNATION. This is not permitted because there is no time associated with a database incarnation.

Action: Remove the FROM or UNTIL option and re-run the LIST command.

RMAN-06145: control file is not current - obsolete file list may be incomplete

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. If the mounted control file is not current, it may not be possible to determine if a satisfactory backup exists for files which have been offline since the last OPEN RESETLOGS.

Action: No action need be taken - this is an informational message only. To ensure a complete report of obsolete backups, mount a current control file.

RMAN-06146: changes found for file number beyond offline SCN

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command needs to compute the list of backups that are redundant and may be deleted. A backup was found for a file which is shown as offline in the target database control file, but the backup contains changes beyond the SCN when the file went offline. This is most likely because the target database control file is not really current, but is a restored copy of an older control file.

Action: Mount a current control file or a backup control file.

RMAN-06147: no obsolete backups found

Cause: A CHANGE or REPORT command could find no files that meet the specified criteria for obsoleteness.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06148: redundancy count must be greater than zero

Cause: The REDUNDANCY operand specified for a CHANGE or REPORT OBSOLETE command was zero.

Action: Specify a REDUNDANCY operand of 1 or greater.

RMAN-06150: auxiliary name for datafile number set to: string

Cause: This message is issued in response to a CONFIGURE AUXNAME command.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06151: datafile string creation scn string

Cause: This is an informational message. It should be accompanied by other messages.

Action: none

RMAN-06153: validation failed for datafile copy

Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06154: validation succeeded for datafile copy

Cause: The CHANGE DATAFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the datafile copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06155: validation failed for control file copy

Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy could not be found or no longer contains the same data, so its record was deleted from the recovery catalog.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06156: validation succeeded for control file copy

Cause: The CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY VALIDATE command found that the control file copy still matches its data in the recovery catalog.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06157: validation failed for archived log

Cause: The CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG command determined that the archived log could not be found or no longer contained the same data, so its record was marked expired.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06158: validation succeeded for archived log

Cause: The CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG command determined that the archived log still matches its data.

Action: None - this is an informational message.

RMAN-06159: error while looking up backup set

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified backup set in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the key is entered correctly. If the backup set was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06160: no backup pieces found for backup set key: number

Cause: No backup pieces for the requested backup set were found in the recovery catalog, or the target database control file.

Action: Specify an existing backup set.

RMAN-06161: error when inspecting auxiliary filename: string

Cause: This error is accompanied by other errors explaining the cause.

Action: Correct the auxiliary filename if it is wrong via the CONFIGURE AUXNAME command.

RMAN-06162: sql statement: string

Cause: This is the sql statement about to be executed for a SQL command.

Action: None, informational message only.

RMAN-06163: some datafiles cannot be recovered, aborting the RECOVER command

Cause: This message should be followed by one or more 6162 or 6164 messages.

Action: Check the accompanying errors.

RMAN-06164: WARNING: no channel of required type allocated to recover datafile number

Cause: A RECOVER command could not proceed because incremental backup sets or archive log backup sets exist on a device type that has not been allocated.

Action: Use the LIST command to determine which device type is needed, then allocate a channel of that type.

RMAN-06165: datafile string is too old to recover, restore a more recent copy

Cause: The archived logs and/or incremental backup sets required to recover the datafile do not exist, but a more recent backup of the datafile exists which can be recovered.

Action: Issue a RESTORE for the datafile, then reissue the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06166: datafile string cannot be recovered

Cause: Incremental backups or archived redo logs needed to recover the datafile cannot be found, and no recoverable full backup or datafile copy exists.

Action: Use the LIST command to see if there is a backup set or datafile copy that can be made AVAILABLE. If not, then the datafile is unrecoverable. If a full or datafile copy exists, then a point-in-time recovery may be possible.

RMAN-06167: already connected

Cause: a CONNECT command was issued, but RMAN is already connected to the specified database.

Action: RMAN has no DISCONNECT command, so to connect to a different instance, exit RMAN and start it again.

RMAN-06168: no backup pieces with this tag found: string

Cause: A tag was used to specify a list of backup pieces, but no backup pieces with this tag could be found.

Action: Make sure the tag is specified correctly.

RMAN-06169: could not read file header for datafile string error reason string

Cause: The specified datafile could not be accessed. The reason codes are: 1 - filename is MISSINGxx in the control file 2 - file is offline 3 - file is not verified 4 - DBWR could not find the file 5 - unable to open file 6 - I/O error during read 7 - file header is corrupt 8 - file is not a datafile 9 - file does not belong to this database 10 - file number is incorrect 12 - wrong file version 15 - control file is not current

Action: If the error can be corrected, do so and retry the operation. The SKIP option can be used to ignore this error during a backup.

RMAN-06170: no control file copy found with offline range recid string stamp string datafile string

Cause: This offline range is needed for recovering the specified datafile, but the offline range record has aged out of the current control file and no control file copy with the record could be accessed. At least 1 control file copy containing the offline range was found in the recovery catalog and was in AVAILABLE status.

Action: Query the rc_controlfile_copy view for the names of all control file copies, then issue a CHANGE CONTROLFILECOPY ... VALIDATE; command for them. Then reissue the RECOVER command.

RMAN-06171: not connected to target database

Cause: A command was issued but no connection to the target database has been established.

Action: Issue a CONNECT TARGET command to connect to the target database.

RMAN-06172: no autobackup found or specified handle is not a valid copy or piece

Cause: A restore could not proceed because no autobackup was found or specified handle is not a valid copy or backup piece. In case of restore from autobackup, it may be the case that a backup exists, but it does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands. In case of restore from handle, it may be the handle is not a backup piece or controflile copy. In may be that it does not exist.

Action: Modify autobackup search criteria or verify the handle.

RMAN-06173: no set newname command has been issued for datafile string when restore auxiliary

Cause: Auxiliary type was specified for the control file, but no SET NEWNAME command has been previously issued for a datafile.

Action: Issue SET NEWNAME command for every datafile in the recovery set.

RMAN-06174: not connected to auxiliary database

Cause: An auxiliary command was issued but no connection to a auxiliary database has been established.

Action: Issue a CONNECT AUXILIARY command to connect to the auxiliary database.

RMAN-06175: deleted script: string

Cause: A DELETE SCRIPT command was executed.

Action: None, informational message only.

RMAN-06176: no recovery required; all files are readonly or offline

Cause: A RECOVER DATABASE command does not need to recover any files because all of the files to be recovered are offline or read only. This can only occur when the SKIP clause includes the system tablespace.

Action: None, informational message only

RMAN-06177: restore not done; all files readonly, offline, or already restored

Cause: A RESTORE command does not need to restore any files, because all of the files to be restored are offline, read-only, or are already restored to their correct destinations.

Action: None, informational message only

RMAN-06178: datafile number not processed because file is offline

Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is offline clean at the desired point in time.

Action: None, informational message only

RMAN-06179: datafile number not processed because file is read-only

Cause: A RESTORE DATABASE or RECOVER DATABASE command omitted processing the indicated datafile because it is part of a read-only tablespace at the desired point in time.

Action: None, informational message only

RMAN-06180: incremental backups require Enterprise Edition

Cause: A BACKUP command with INCREMENTAL LEVEL > 0 was specified.

Action: Use FULL, or INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0.

RMAN-06181: multiple channels require Enterprise Edition

Cause: Attempt to allocate more than 1 channel in a job.

Action: Remove all except one ALLOCATE CHANNEL command.

RMAN-06182: archive log larger than MAXSETSIZE: thread string seq string string

Cause: A BACKUP ARCHIVELOG command specified the MAXSETSIZE operand too low. The specified archive log is larger than MAXSETSIZE will allow.

Action: Increase MAXSETSIZE limit.

RMAN-06183: datafile or datafile copy larger than MAXSETSIZE: file# string string

Cause: A BACKUP DATAFILE(copy) command specified the MAXSETSIZE operand too low. The specified datafile is larger than MAXSETSIZE will allow.

Action: Increase MAXSETSIZE limit.

RMAN-06184: duplicate object in backup specifier: string string

Cause: A backup command specifies the same datafile or copy of a datafile multiple times.

Action: Eliminate the duplicates.

RMAN-06185: Recovery Manager incompatible with string database: RMAN number.number.number.number to number.number.number.number required

Cause: This version of recovery manager was incompatible with the indicated database or the dbms_backup_restore package installed in the indicated database.

Action: If the database has been upgraded from an earlier version, ensure that the catxxxx.sql script has been run successfully. Re-install dbmsbkrs.sql and prvtbkrs.plb if necessary. Otherwise, use a version of RMAN within the range specified in the error message.

RMAN-06186: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too old

Cause: The specified PL/SQL package is a version that is too old to work with this version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN).

Action: If the database indicated is CATALOG, then you can use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade the recovery catalog to the most current version. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the specified database or use an older version of RMAN.

RMAN-06187: control file copy string not found or out of sync with catalog

Cause: The indicated file is not found, or is found but is not the same file that the recovery catalog thinks it is. It is likely that some operation outside of Recovery Manager has altered the file, or that Recovery Manager has not resynced with the target database.

Action: Re-catalog the file and retry the operation.

RMAN-06188: cannot use command when connected to a mounted target database

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when there is no connection to the target database or when the target database is not mounted.

Action: Dismount the database or restart RMAN and use the command before connecting to the target database.

RMAN-06189: current DBID number does not match target mounted database (number)

Cause: SET DBID was used to set a DBID that does not match the DBID of the database to which RMAN is connected.

Action: If the current operation is a restore to copy the database, do not mount the database. Otherwise, avoid using the SET DBID command, or restart RMAN.

RMAN-06190: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is not current

Cause: RMAN detected an old version of the specified package. RMAN will execute in backwards-compatible mode.

Action: No action is required, but certain features and bug-fixes may not be available when RMAN runs in backwards-compatible mode. If the database is CATALOG, then you can use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade the recovery catalog to the most current version. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the specified database or use an older version of RMAN. The files that must be run to upgrade the target or auxiliary database are dbmsrman.sql and prvtrman.plb.

RMAN-06191: PL/SQL package string.string version string in string database is too new

Cause: RMAN detected an incompatible version of the specified package.

Action: Use a newer version of recovery manager. Message 6439 indicates the minimum required version of recovery manager.

RMAN-06192: maximum value for MAXPIECESIZE or MAXSETSIZE must be between 1 Kb and 2048 Gb

Cause: Input size for MAXPIECESIZE or MAXSETSIZE was out of range.

Action: Specify a valid size and retry the command.

RMAN-06193: connected to target database (not started)

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: The database must be started before any other RMAN commands are issued.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06246: List of Database Incarnations

Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST INCARNATION OF DATABASE command. The following fields are shown for each database that is registered with the recovery catalog: DB Key: This is the unique key which identifies this database in the recovery catalog. Inc Key: This is the unique key which identifies this incarnation of the database in the recovery catalog. DB Name: The name of the database. DB ID: The database ID. This is a number which remains the same for the life of the database, even if the database name is changed. Status: "YES" if this is the current incarnation of this database, otherwise "NO". Reset SCN: SCN of the most recent resetlogs operation. Reset Time: Time of the most recent resetlogs operation.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06250: Report of files that need backup due to unrecoverable operations

Cause: An unlogged change (such as "create table unrecoverable") has been made to this file, and the most recent backup of the file does not contain those changes.

Action: Take a backup of this file. If this file is lost before a backup is taken, then the unlogged modifications will be lost. The message indicates whether a full backup is required or whether a incremental backup will suffice.

RMAN-06263: %-4s string string

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED BACKUP INCREMENTAL command, for those files which would use more than the specified number of incrementals during recovery.

Action: To reduce the number of incremental backups which would be used during recovery of this datafile, take a new full backup of this file now.

RMAN-06270: Report of files whose recovery needs more than number days of archived logs

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS command for those files which need more than the specified number of days" archived logs for recovery.

Action: To reduce the number of log files needed for recovery of this datafile, take a new full or incremental backup now.

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED RECOVERY WINDOW OF n DAYS command for those files that must be backed up to satisfy specified retention policy.

Action: To satisfy specified recovery window for this datafile, take a new full or incremental backup now.

RMAN-06275: invalid number of days specified for report : string days

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT NEED RECOVERY WINDOW OF n DAYS or REPORT NEED BACKUP DAYS n command when an invalid number of days was specified in input command.

Action: The number of days specified in REPORT command must be greater than zero.

RMAN-06280: Report of obsolete backups and copies

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT OBSOLETE command. Each of the files listed is obsolete because it is more redundant than the level of redundancy specified in the REPORT command.

Action: Depending on your needs, you might need to take new backups.

RMAN-06290: Report of database schema

Cause: This message is issued in response to the REPORT SCHEMA command. The report shows the physical schema of the database at the indicated time. The following fields are shown for each datafile and temporary file: File: The file number. Size(MB): The size of the file in mega bytes. Tablespace: The name of the tablespace which contains this file. RB segs: YES if this file is part of a tablespace containing rollback segments, otherwise NO. Datafile/Tempfile Name: The file name. Maxsize(MB): Maximum file size to which file can be extended

Action: No action is required.

Cause: This message is issued when the REPORT NEED BACKUP REDUNDANCY command is used for those files which have less than the specified number of backups which can be used for recovery.

Action: Take another backup of the datafiles listed.

RMAN-06306: ====================

Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST BACKUP DATABASE/TABLESPACE/DATAFILE command when some backups were taken with the PROXY option. If a recovery catalog is in use, then the information comes from the recovery catalog, otherwise it comes from the target database control file. The following fields are shown for each proxy datafile backup. Key: This is the unique key which identifies this proxy backup in the recovery catalog. This value can be used in a CHANGE command to change its status. If the target database control file is being used as the recovery catalog, then this field uniquely identifies this copy in the control file. File: The file number that this file was copied from. Status: This is the status of the file. Possible values are: A - Available U - Unavailable D - Deleted X - Expired Status "U" will not be used if the target database control file is being used as the recovery catalog. Completion time: This is the date and time when the backup was created. This column will be printed in the default Oracle date format, unless overridden with a NLS_DATE_FORMAT environment variable. Ckp SCN: This is the checkpoint SCN of the backup. The file contains all changes made at or before this SCN. Ckp time: This is the time that the file was last checkpointed. Handle: This is the media manager handle of the proxy backup.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06378: List of Backup Sets

Cause: This message is issued in response to a LIST BACKUP command.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06400: database opened

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06401: database is already started

Cause: A STARTUP command without the FORCE option was issued, but the target database is already started.

Action: Use the FORCE option if you want to restart the database.

RMAN-06402: Oracle instance shut down

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06403: could not obtain a fully authorized session

Cause: The most likely cause of this error is that one of the databases to which RMAN had previously connected is not started or has has been shutdown. Other error messages should identify exactly which database is the problem.

Action: Startup the database causing the problem.

RMAN-06404: database dismounted

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06405: database closed

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06406: deleted archive log

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06407: auxiliary instance file string deleted

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06408: recovery catalog upgraded to version string

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG command. It indicates the version of the recovery catalog schema to which the recovery catalog was just upgraded. Note that this version number may not reflect the version number of your rman executable or target database, because the recovery catalog schema is not changed with each Oracle release.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06409: LIKE clause in LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG is not supported

Cause: LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG LIKE was used, which is not supported.

Action: Remove LIKE clause from command.

RMAN-06410: cannot use command when channels are allocated

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a command that can be used only when there are no allocated channels.

Action: Do not use the command, or de-allocate channels and use the command when no channels are allocated.

RMAN-06411: backup copies setting out of range (1-4): number

Cause: An attempt was made to set backup copies to an invalid value.

Action: Use a value in the specified range.

RMAN-06412: no proxy copy channel found

Cause: A proxy copy was started, but no allocated channel supports proxy copy. This could be because the media management software used by the target database does not support proxy copy, or because all of the allocated channels are of type DISK, which never support proxy copy.

Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the target database, the CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands should be used so that those backups will not be considered for further restores.

RMAN-06413: channel string does not support proxy copy

Cause: The channel which was specified for this backup or restore does not support proxy copy. This could be because the media management software used by the target database does not support proxy copy, or because the channel is of type DISK, which never supports proxy copy.

Action: If this is a backup, then either allocate a non-disk channel, or do not use the PROXY option. If this is a restore, then a channel of the same type which created the proxy backup was allocated, but now does not support proxy copy. If proxy copy is no longer supported by the media management software at the target database, the CROSSCHECK command should be used so that those backups will not be considered for further restores.

RMAN-06414: target database COMPATIBLE option does not support proxy copy

Cause: PROXY was specified, and the target database uses a media manager that supports proxy copy, but the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter of the target database must be 8.1.0 or greater to create proxy backups. If the database is downgraded to the earlier release that is specified in the COMPATIBLE parameter, then it will no longer be able to restore proxy backups.

Action: Either take a non-proxy backup or change the target database COMPATIBLE parameter.

RMAN-06415: file string cannot be proxy backed up

Cause: The PROXY option was specified, but the media management software used by the target database cannot back up the specified file using proxy copy. If PROXY ONLY was specified, then the backup is terminated. If PROXY was specified, then this file will be placed into a non-proxy backup set.

Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of this file.

RMAN-06416: PROXY ONLY was specified and some files could not be proxy copied

Cause: PROXY ONLY was specified, and some of the files to be backed up could not be backed up by the media management software used by the target database. Message 6415 is issued for each file that cannot be proxy copied.

Action: Remove the ONLY option to place the files into a regular backup set, or contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of these files.

RMAN-06418: proxy incremental backups with level > 0 not supported

Cause: PROXY was specified for a non-level-zero incremental backup. Proxy backups may only be full or level 0 backups.

Action: Remove one of the conflicting options.

RMAN-06419: file string cannot be proxy restored from handle string

Cause: The media management software used by the target database indicated that it cannot restore the specified file from the specified backup handle.

Action: Consult the media management software documentation to find out why this restriction exists or contact the media management vendor.

RMAN-06420: some files could not be proxy restored - aborting restore

Cause: Some of the files to be restored could not be restored by the media management software used by the target database. Message 6419 is issued for each file that cannot be restored.

Action: Contact the media management vendor if you believe that the media management software should support proxy copy of these files. The CROSSCHECK or CHANGE commands can be used to remove these proxy copies from the catalog to prevent the RESTORE command from trying to restore from these proxy backups.

RMAN-06421: sent command to channel: string

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06422: no channels found for SEND command

Cause: No channels with the specified names or device types were found. If no channel qualifiers were specified, then no channels were allocated.

Action: Specify a different channel type or allocate a channel of the desired type.

RMAN-06423: requested limit of number exceeds vendor limit of number

Cause: A SETLIMIT CHANNEL command was used to set the backup piece size limit, but the media management software used by the target database cannot create backup pieces that large.

Action: Specify a smaller backup piece limit.

RMAN-06424: error while looking up proxy copy

Cause: An error occurred while looking up the specified proxy copy in the recovery catalog or target database control file.

Action: This error is accompanied by other errors describing the reason for the failure. Ensure that the name or key is entered correctly. If the proxy copy was created when the recovery catalog was not available, then a RESYNC CATALOG must be done to update the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06425: <datafile pathname not available>

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06426: RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role must be granted to user string

Cause: The CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command was used, but the userid that was supplied in the CATALOG connect string does not have the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role granted as a DEFAULT role.

Action: Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the recovery catalog owner.

RMAN-06427: recovery catalog already exists

Cause: The CREATE CATALOG command cannot be used when the recovery catalog already exists.

Action: Use the UPGRADE CATALOG command to upgrade your recovery catalog to the most current release without losing any existing backup data. Use the DROP CATALOG command to remove an existing recovery catalog.

RMAN-06428: recovery catalog is not installed

Cause: A recovery catalog database connection has been made, but the recovery catalog tables and views have not been installed.

Action: If you mis-typed the recovery catalog owner userid, then correct the userid and reconnect to the recovery catalog. If this is the first time that you have signed on to Recovery Manager with this recovery catalog owner userid, then use the CREATE CATALOG command to create the recovery catalog schema. Alternatively, exit RMAN and connect without specifying a recovery catalog connection.

RMAN-06429: %s database is not compatible with this version of RMAN

Cause: The indicated database is not compatible with this version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN). Other messages have also been issued which detail the cause of the error.

Action: See the other messages. If the database is CATALOG, then you may be able to use the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG commands to correct the problem. If the database is TARGET or AUXILIARY, then you must either upgrade the target database or use a newer version of the RMAN executable.

RMAN-06430: recovery catalog userid cannot be SYS

Cause: A recovery catalog connection was made to userid SYS. The recovery catalog must be created in a userid other than SYS.

Action: Specify a different userid in the CATALOG connect string.

RMAN-06431: recovery catalog created

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the CREATE CATALOG command.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06432: recovery catalog dropped

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the DROP CATALOG command.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06433: error installing recovery catalog

Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while it was being installed. Another error message shows the error message from the server.

Action: The most common reasons for failure to install the recovery catalog are:
- Lack of space in the recovery catalog database: allocate more space, use the DROP CATALOG command to remove any partially installed recovery catalog, and retry the command.

- Object already exists: This is caused by a partial recovery catalog installation. Use the DROP CATALOG command to remove the partially installed recovery catalog and retry the command.

RMAN-06434: some errors occurred while removing recovery catalog

Cause: Some errors were received from the recovery catalog database while removing the recovery catalog.

Action: Correct the error(s) and retry the command. Note that the Recovery Manager intercepts and ignores common errors, such as "object not found", which can happen while removing a partially installed recovery catalog. Only serious errors will be displayed while removing the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06435: recovery catalog owner is string

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG and DROP CATALOG commands.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06436: enter DROP CATALOG command again to confirm catalog removal

Cause: The DROP CATALOG command deletes the recovery catalog, rendering all database backups unusable, and should be used with care. The command must be entered twice to ensure that this is really what you want to do.

Action: If you really want to remove the recovery catalog, then enter the DROP CATALOG command again.

RMAN-06437: cannot drop catalog - catalog is newer than this RMAN

Cause: The DROP CATALOG command was entered, but the recovery catalog was created by a newer version of the Recovery Manager (RMAN). This version of RMAN may not be able to drop the entire recovery catalog.

Action: Use the version of RMAN which most recently created or upgraded the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06438: error executing package DBMS_RCVMAN in string database

Cause: Recovery Manager requires the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the SYS schema of the indicated database. Normally this package is installed during database creation. To re-create the package, run the files dbmsrman.sql and prvtrmns.plb.

Action: re-create the DBMS_RCVMAN package in the SYS schema.

RMAN-06439: RMAN must be upgraded to version string to work with this package

Cause: This message indicates the minimum version of recovery manager required to use the package which was specified in message 6191.

Action: A newer version of RMAN must be used with this package.

RMAN-06441: cannot upgrade catalog - catalog is already newer than this RMAN

Cause: The recovery catalog is already at a version level that is greater than this version of the Recovery Manager. The UPGRADE CATALOG command is not needed.

Action: Either upgrade to a more recent Recovery Manager, or continue to use the current version. Message 6191 will be issued if the recovery catalog is too new to work with this version of Recovery Manager.

RMAN-06442: enter UPGRADE CATALOG command again to confirm catalog upgrade

Cause: The UPGRADE CATALOG command alters the recovery catalog schema. Although the recovery catalog is designed to be compatible with older versions of the Recovery Manager (RMAN), it is possible that an upgrade will remove support for older versions of RMAN.

Action: If you really want to upgrade the recovery catalog, then enter the UPGRADE CATALOG command again. If you are not going to use an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog, then compatibility is not an issue. If you plan to also continue using an older version of RMAN with this recovery catalog then, before upgrading, consult the Migration Guide for the current Oracle release to determine if upgrading to the current version of the recovery catalog will remove support for older versions of RMAN.

RMAN-06443: error upgrading recovery catalog

Cause: An error was received from the recovery catalog database while upgrading the recovery catalog.

Action: Correct the error and retry the command. Note that the Recovery Manager intercepts and ignores common errors, such as "column already exists," which can happen if the recovery catalog has already been partially upgraded. Only serious errors will be displayed while upgrading the recovery catalog.

RMAN-06444: %s created with compilation errors

Cause: During the CREATE CATALOG or UPGRADE CATALOG command, the indicated PL/SQL package specification or body could not be created because of PL/SQL compilation errors.

Action: The PL/SQL packages used by the recovery catalog are located in the RECOVER.BSQ library file, and should never be modified. Make sure that the RECOVER.BSQ file has not been modified or damaged, and then if this error persists, contact Oracle support. Connect to the recovery catalog owner and query the USER_ERRORS view to find out the details of the compilation errors.

RMAN-06445: cannot connect to recovery catalog after NOCATALOG has been used

Cause: The CONNECT CATALOG command was used after the user had already specified the NOCATALOG option.

Action: Re-start rman if you wish to use a recovery catalog.

RMAN-06451: proxy copy handle=string recid=string stamp=string

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06452: %s package upgraded to version string

Cause: This is an informational message issued by the UPGRADE CATALOG command. It indicates the version to which the indicated package was just upgraded. Note that this version number may not reflect the version number of your rman executable or target database, because the recovery catalog packages are not changed with each Oracle release.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-06453: RECOVERABLE may only be used with datafile objects

Cause: An attempt was made to use LIST ... RECOVERABLE .. with OF CONTROLFILE or OF ARCHIVELOG.

Action: Remove the RECOVERABLE keyword and try again.

RMAN-06454: duplexed backups require Enterprise Edition

Cause: The SET COPIES or CONFIGURE BACKUP COPIES command was used to create more than one copy of each backup piece, but Enterprise Edition is not installed.

Action: Do not attempt to create more than one copy of each backup piece.

RMAN-06455: point-in-time tablespace recovery requires Enterprise Edition

Cause: A point-in-time tablespace recovery was attempted, but Enterprise Edition is not installed.

Action: Do not do point-in-time tablespace recovery.

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the name of file that was not a oracle managed file. This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-07527: Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the name of file that was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter. One of the following scenarios caused this error: 1) This is an archived log file and was created when the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter was set explicitly to flash recovery area location. For example, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1="location=+FRA" where "+FRA" was also your DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST value. 2) This is an RMAN backup file and was created in a flash recovery area using the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. 3) This is an online log file or current control file and was created prior to setting the flash recovery area. 4) This file fits none of the above scnearios and is not supported by the flash recovery area.

Action: All of following actions will resolve future occurences of this error: 1) To create archived logs in flash recovery area, set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to "location=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST". Do not explicitly set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to a flash recovery area location. 2) To create RMAN backups in flash recovery area, do not use the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. All of following actions will resolve current problem: 1) If this is an archived log file or an RMAN backup file, use the CATALOG command to re-catalog the files. 2) If this is an online log file or a current control file to be managed by the flash recovery area, re-create the file using the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.

RMAN-07528: number of files not managed by recovery area is string, totaling stringB

Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the list of files. Either the files listed are not known to the database or not managed by flash recovery area. The number and size of the files are shown. This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-07529: Reason: catalog is not supported for this file type

Cause: The CATALOG command encountered one or more files of types that cannot be cataloged.

RMAN-12016: using channel string

Cause: This is an informational message only.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-12017: could not locate pieces of backupset key string

Cause: No copies of the specified backupset key can be accessed on any of the allocated channels.

Action: Allocate additional channels on other nodes of the cluster, or, if the backup pieces have been deleted, use the CROSSCHECK BACKUP command to correct the recovery catalog entries.

RMAN-12018: channel string disabled, job failed on it will be run on another channel

Cause: This is an informational message displayed whenever a retriable error occurs for the job and there are channels available to run this step.

Action: No action is required.

RMAN-12019: continuing other job steps, job failed will not be re-run

Cause: This is an informational message displayed whenever there is a non-retriable error occured for the job.

Cause: database incarnation does not match any database incarnation in the recovery catalog

Action: specify a valid database incarnation key

RMAN-20011: target database incarnation is not current in recovery catalog

Cause: the database incarnation that matches the resetlogs change# and time of the mounted target database control file is not the current incarnation of the database

Action: If "reset database to incarnation <key>" was used to make an old incarnation current then restore the target database from a backup that matches the incarnation and mount it. You will need to do "startup nomount" before you can restore the control file using RMAN. Otherwise use "reset database to incarnation <key>" make the intended incarnation current in the recovery catalog.

RMAN-20029: cannot make a snapshot control file

Cause: another operation that needs the snapshot control file is in progress

Action: try again later if necessary

RMAN-20401: script already exists

Cause: a CREATE SCRIPT was issued, but a script with the specified name already exists.

Action: use a different name or use REPLACE SCRIPT.

RMAN-20501: redo logs from parent database incarnation cannot be applied

Cause: A RESTORE or RECOVER of a datafile was requested, but recovery of the datafile would require applying redo logs that were generated before the most recent OPEN RESETLOGS.

Action: If a full backup or datafile copy from the current database incarnation exists, ensure that it is marked AVAILABLE, and that a channel of the correct device type is allocated. It may also be necessary to remove the FROM BACKUPSET or FROM DATAFILECOPY or FROM TAG operands if these have been specified.

RMAN-20502: DELETE EXPIRED cannot delete objects that exist - run CROSSCHECK

Cause: A DELETE EXPIRED command was run, but the object was actually found to exist. This means the recovery catalog or control file is out of sync with reality.

Action: Run CROSSCHECK.

RMAN-20503: DELETE cannot delete expired objects - run CROSSCHECK or DELETE EXPIRED

Cause: A DELETE command was run without EXPIRED option, but the object doesn"t exist. This means the recovery catalog or control file is out of sync with reality.

Action: Run CROSSCHECK.

RMAN-20504: corruption list not found in recovery catalog

Cause: corruption list is empty

Action: make sure that one or more blocks are marked corrupted in v$copy_corruption and v$backup_corruption and recovery catalog is up-to-date.

RMAN-20505: create datafile during recovery

Cause: applying of archived log caused a create datafile redo-entry to to terminate recovery.

Action: none. This message is never displayed. RMAN automatically detects this case and creates the datafile.

RMAN-20506: no backup of archivelog found

Cause: during the recover process, no backup was found from which the archivelogs could be restored.

Action: this message should be followed by a list of missing archivelogs. Please make the necessary archivelog backups available and try again.

RMAN-20507: some targets are remote - aborting restore

Cause: during the restore process, one or more backup files were unavailable locally for the restore operation.

Action: This message should be accompanied with the list of remote backup files. Recall these backups from remote location and retry the RESTORE command.

35 LFI-00002 to LFI-01523

LFI-00002: Out of memory. string

Cause: The File IO package failed in trying to dynamically allocate memory. function name is used for additional comments to indicate where, when and why the error occured.

Action: Perform whatever actions necessary to make more memory available to the executing program.

LFI-00003: Internal exception code. icode = [string], [string].

Cause: Unknown - indicated by parameters. The first "%s" gives the internal exception code; the second is for any other additional comments.

Action: Report to the appropriate development group

LFI-00004: Call to string failed.

Cause: A function call has failed. This error is a generic message to show that the exception has occurred in a particular function function name. This allows the client to know the trace runtime calling sequence by examining the exception stack.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.

LFI-00005: Free some memory failed in string.

Cause: A call to free some memory in function function name has failed.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information and contact Oracle Worldwide Support immediately.

LFI-00006: Invalid parameter to function string.

Cause: The function was called with an invalid parameter.

Action: Check the function call to make sure that the correct parameters are being passed.

LFI-00007: NLSRTL"s call failed. string.

Cause: LX calls return failure

Action: Check if our parameters are correct. Contact the appropriate group immediately if we parameters are valid.

LFI-00008: SLTS"s initializing/terminating mutex failed for string.

Cause: SLTS"s call return failure in function "%s".

Action: Contact the appropriate development group.

LFI-00100: Unable to perform operation, file not opened in string.

Cause: The file has not been successfully opened at the time the operation is attempted.

Action: Check to make sure that the file exists (for read) or that the program has access to the write a file (for write). It is also possible that the file was just never opened

LFI-00101: Write failed, file cannot be written to.

Cause: The buffer write operation failed. Possibly due to incorrect parameters being passed in.

Action: Check the underlying error for more information.

LFI-00102: Unable to seek in sequentially accessed file.

Cause: The file was opened with the flag LFILFA_SEQ for sequential file operations. Use seek only on files that are opened with the LFILFA_RANDOM flag for random access.

Action: Check to see how the file is being opened and accessed and make the two operations consistent (that is, make them both operations either sequential or random).

LFI-00103: Seek operation failed.

Cause: The buffer seek operation failed. Probably due to incorrect parameters or flags.

Action: Check syntax of the seek command and retry the operation.

LFI-00104: Read operation failed.

Cause: The buffer read operation failed. Probably due to incorrect parameters or flags.

Action: Check syntax of the read command and retry the operation.

LFI-00105: Unable to add path.

Cause: One of the following might have caused the error: the current path might not be in the proper format the directory might not be in the proper format the name object might not have been initialized properly

Action: Check the format of the current path and the new directory; check that the name object was initialized properly.

LFI-00106: Path object holds more than one path.

Cause: The path object passed to lfippth() holds more than one path.

Action: Make sure that the path object used in lfippth() holds only one path.

LFI-00107: Open does not expect the file [string][string] to exist.

Cause: The flags specified for the open indicate that the file does not exist. However, the file does exist.

Action: Check to make sure that the options that were specified for the file are correct and that you do not expect that the file should exist. If so then find out why the file does exist.

LFI-00108: Open expect the file [string][string] to exist.

Cause: The flags specified for the open indicate that the file the file to exist and it does not.

Action: Check to make sure that the options that were specified for the file are correct and that you expect that the file should exist. If so then find out why the file doesn"t.

LFI-00109: Unable to open file [string][string]. string.

Cause: Either: the process does not have the proper access rights to open the file the file is already open

Action: Check to make sure the proper access permissions are assigned. If they are and the file still cannot be opened, then contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

LFI-00110: Unable to initialize the Buffer Manager.

Cause: The Buffer Manager initialization routine failed; probably because memory was exhausted.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.

LFI-00111: No other flags allowed in fixed length format.

Cause: The function lfigfo() was called with an invalid File ID Descriptor. The valid File ID Descriptors are LFISTDIN, LFISTDOUT, and LFISTDERR.

Action: Check the call to lfigfo() to make sure it is correct.

LFI-00113: Unable to initialize the Standard File object string.

Cause: The call to open the standard file object failed.

Action: Check the underlying errors for more information.

LFI-00114: Append is not allowed with string.

Cause: Attempting to append using certain options.

Action: Check the flag options to verify its usage.

LFI-00115: Buffer free failed.

Cause: Probably do to the buffer flush failing.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.

LFI-00116: Unable to close file in operation string.

Cause: The file close operation failed.

Action: See the accompanying error messages for more information.

LFI-00117: Unable to rename file.

Cause: The rename operation failed. Rename is called when we are protecting a file by operating on a temp file.

Action: Check to make sure that the process has the correct access rights to perform a rename.

LFI-00118: Unable to change type to Unknown.

Cause: The function lfichty() was called to change the file extension to LFIEXUNK (Unknown). This is not a valid operation.

Action: Check why you are doing this. If the extension is already unknown then you do not need to do this. If you just want no extension then use the extension type LFIEXNONE.

LFI-00119: Unable to Abort an Unprotected file.

Cause: The Abort function lfiabt() was called on a file that was not opened as a protected file. As such the abort operation is not valid.

Action: Check to see if you intended to open the file as a protected file.

LFI-00120: Unable to parse root filename string.

Cause: The root filename that was given to lfimknam() is not in a format that this platform understands.

Action: Check the format of the filename and retry the operation.

LFI-00121: Only one of REPLACE, or PROT allowed for opty.

Cause: Two or more of the following open type options were specified for the lfilini() function: LFILOPTY_REPLACE, or LFILOPTY_PROT.

Action: Remove one or more the of options such that you are only passing in one of the three.

LFI-00122: Can only delete a file if we create it.

Cause: The delete file flag was specified for a file that was not created by this file operation. The ability to delete a file is not portable. As such the only deletion that is allowed by this package is if we know we want to delete the file when we create it.

Action: You can only delete a file that you create. If you need to delete a file that you do not create then you will have to find another means of doing so.

LFI-00123: Cannot access file Sequentially and Randomly.

Cause: Both the LFILFA_SEQ (sequential) and LFILFA_RANDOM (random) flags were specified during the file object creation. This is not allowed. Only one of the two may be specified.

Action: Choose how you wish to access the file. If you choose random you can still access sequentially by just not using the repositioning functions.

LFI-00124: No access mode was specified, default is sequential.

Cause: Neither LFILFA_SEQ (sequential) or LFILFA_RANDOM (random) were specified during file object creation.

Action: The default is sequential but this should be explicitly set.

LFI-00125: Random access only allowed on fixed length record files.

Cause: The LFILFA_RANDOM flag was specified on a file that was not organized into fixed-length records. Random access is only allowed on fixed-length record files.

Action: Determine if the organization of your data needs to be in variable-length records and if you need to have random access to the file. If both conditions are true then you might need to buffer the entire file or enough of it to remove your need for random access. Another option is to close and rescan the file although this is not the optimal solution.

LFI-00126: Record format can only be one of Fixed or Variable.

Cause: Both LFILRF_FIXED (fixed) and LFILRF_VAR (variable) were specified during file object creation. Only one of the two is allowed for a given file.

Action: Determine how the file is organized and choose the option that matches.

LFI-00127: No Record Format was specified, default is variable.

Cause: Neither LFILRF_FIXED (fixed) or LFILRF_VAR (variable) were specified for record format. One of the two must be specified for each file.

Action: The default is LFILRF_VAR, but this should be explicitly set during file object creation.

LFI-00128: Carriage Control is only valid for Standard file objects.

Cause: The Carriage Control option is only valid for the standard file objects (LFISTDIN, LFISTDOUT, LFISTDERR). You may not specify this option for any other type of file.

Action: Choose between LFILRF_FIXED and LFILRF_VAR for the record format.

LFI-00129: Invalid option string were specified on an input only file.

Cause: The file was opened as input only but the output mode option LFILRF_WR_ASIS or delete option LFLOPTY_DELETE was specified.

Action: Check to see how you intend to open this file and make the necessary changes.

LFI-00130: Input option specified on output only file.

Cause: The file was opened as output only but one of the input mode options (LFILRF_READ_NL or LFILRF_FORCE_NL) or was specified.

Action: Check to see how you intend to open this file and make the necessary changes.

LFI-00131: No open type specified.

Cause: The file object was created without an open type (that is, LFILOPTY_INPUT, LFILOPTY_OUTPUT, etc.).

Action: Decide how the file should be accessed and specify one of the open types.

LFI-00132: Record length string is greater than max length of string.

Cause: The record length specified for the file is greater than the max supported by this platform.

Action: Decrease the record length.

LFI-00133: Trying to create file string that already exists.

Cause: The file object was initialized with LFILOPTY_OUTPUT and without LFILOPTY_REPLACE and yet a file by this name already exists.

Action: Check to make sure that you are creating the right file. If you intend to overwrite the file if it exists that specify the replace option LFILOPTY_REPLACE when initializing the file object.

LFI-00134: Unable to protect a file for an append operation.

Cause: The LFILOPTY_APPEND and LFILOPTY_PROT options were both specified for the file. This is currently not allowed because it would require copying the entire file at open time.

Action: Decide if you really need to protect the file for append. If so then think about making a copy of it before appending.

36 PLS-00049 to PLS-01913

PLS-00049: bad bind variable "string"

Cause: The client (caller) of PL/SQL has parsed a bind variable that it has informed to be "bad".

Action: none

PLS-00101: reserved for future use

Cause: This error message is not used yet. (Heh, heh, that"s a joke, son.)

Action: none

PLS-00102: parser stack overflow because nesting is too deep

Cause: The parser, which checks the syntax of PL/SQL statements, uses a data structure called a stack; the number of levels of nesting in the PL/SQL block exceeded the stack capacity.

Action: Reorganize the block structure to avoid nesting at too deep a level. For example, move the lowest-level sub-block to a higher level.

PLS-00103: %s

Cause: This error message is from the parser. It found a token (language element) that is inappropriate in this context.

Action: Check previous tokens as well as the one given in the error message. The line and column numbers given in the error message refer to the end of the faulty language construct.

PLS-00104: empty argument list in call of procedure "string" must be omitted

Cause: In a subprogram call, the name of the subprogram was followed by an empty parameter list. For example, procedure P was called as P(). This is not allowed.

Action: Remove the empty parameter list. In the example, change the procedure call to P.

PLS-00105: at most one forward declaration of type "string" is permitted

Cause: More than one forward declaration of a type is redundant.

Action: Remove all but one forward declaration.

PLS-00108: declarative units must be a single variable declaration

Cause: While checking a declarative unit (a top-level declare block without the BEGIN...END), PL/SQL found that there was more than one item declared or that the item was not a variable declaration. A table is a common variable declaration at the unit level. To define a TABLE, compile a DECLARE compilation unit, but only one at a time is allowed.

Action: Declare variables in separate declarative units.

PLS-00109: unknown exception name "string" in PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT

Cause: No declaration for the exception name referenced in an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was found within the scope of the pragma.

Action: Make sure the pragma follows the exception declaration and is within the same scope.

PLS-00110: bind variable "string" not allowed in this context

Cause: A bind variable, that is, an identifier prefixed with a colon, was found in an inappropriate context.

Action: Remove the colon or replace the bind variable with the appropriate object.

PLS-00111: end-of-file in comment

Cause: A Comment had a comment initiator (/*), but before the

Action: Remove the Comment initiator or add a comment terminator. The line and column numbers accompanying the error message refer to the beginning of the last legal token before the Comment initiator.

PLS-00112: end-of-line in quoted identifier

Cause: A quoted identifier had a beginning quote ("), but before the ending quote (") was found, an end-of-line marker was encountered.

Action: Remove the beginning quote or add the ending quote. The line and column numbers accompanying the error message refer to the beginning of the quoted identifier.

PLS-00113: END identifier "string" must match "string" at line string, column string

Cause: Following the keyword END, which terminates some language constructs (such as loops, blocks, functions, and procedures), you can optionally place the name of that construct. For example, at the end of the definition of loop L you might write END L. This error occurs when the optional name does not match the name given to the language construct. It is usually caused by a misspelled identifier or by faulty block structure.

Action: Make sure the spelling of the END identifier matches the name given to the language construct and that the block structure is correct.

PLS-00114: identifier "string" too long

Cause: The name of a PL/SQL variable is longer than 30 characters. Legal identifiers (including quoted identifiers) have a maximum length of 30 characters. A string literal might have been mistakenly enclosed in double quotes instead of single quotes, in which case PL/SQL considers it a quoted identifier.

Action: Shorten the identifier.

PLS-00115: this PRAGMA must follow the declaration of "string"

Cause: The pragma refers to a PL/SQL object that was not declared or is not within the scope of the reference. Identifiers must be declared before they are used in a pragma; forward references are not allowed.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00116: Duplicate where-clause in table expression

Cause: Two or more WHERE clauses were found in a DELETE, SELECT, or UPDATE statement. The WHERE clause specifies a condition under which rows in a table are processed. The condition can contain several logical expressions connected by AND or OR, but a statement can contain only one WHERE clause.

Action: Remove one of the WHERE clauses and, if necessary, connect logical expressions by AND or OR

PLS-00117: Duplicate connect-by clause in table expression

Cause: Two or more CONNECT BY clauses were found in a SELECT statement. The CONNECT BY clause defines a relationship used to return rows in a hierarchical order. The relationship can contain two expressions separated by a relational operator (such as = or !=), but a statement can contain only one CONNECT BY clause.

Action: Remove one of the CONNECT BY clauses and, if necessary, separate expressions by a relational operator.

PLS-00118: Duplicate group-by clause in table expression

Cause: Two or more GROUP BY clauses were found in a SELECT statement. The GROUP BY clause lists column expressions used to form a summary row for each group of selected rows. The list can contain several column expressions separated by commas, but a statement can contain only one GROUP BY clause.

Action: Remove one of the GROUP BY clauses and, if necessary, separate column expressions by commas.

PLS-00119: Duplicate having-clause in table expression

Cause: Two or more HAVING clauses were found in a SELECT statement. The HAVING clause specifies a condition under which groups of rows (formed by the GROUP BY clause) are included in the result. The condition can include several logical expressions connected by AND or OR, but a statement can contain only one HAVING clause.

Action: Remove one of the HAVING clauses and, if necessary, connect logical expressions by AND or OR.

PLS-00120: inappropriate argument in OPEN statement

Cause: The asterisk (*) option was used in the argument list of a SQL group function other than COUNT. For example, the code might look like SELECT SUM(*) INTO emp_count FROM emp; -- should be COUNT(*) Only COUNT permits the use of the asterisk option, which returns the number of rows in a table.

Action: Remove the asterisk option from the argument list and replace it with an expression that refers to one or more database columns.

PLS-00122: %s as separator is allowed only with specific built-in functions

Cause: A few built-in functions use keywords (instead of commas) as argument separators: Built-in function Argument separators --------------------------------------------- CHR, TRANSLATE USING CAST AS TRIM TRAILING, LEADING, BOTH, FROM A function different from one of these built-in functions is using a keyword as an argument separator.

Action: Correct the argument list or change the function name.

PLS-00123: program too large (string)

Cause: PL/SQL was designed primarily for robust transaction processing. One consequence of the special-purpose design is that the PL/SQL compiler imposes a limit on block size. The limit depends on the mix of statements in the PL/SQL block. Blocks that exceed the limit cause this error.

Action: The best solution is to modularize the program by defining subprograms, which can be stored in an Oracle database. Another solution is to break the program into two sub-blocks. Have the first block INSERT any data the second block needs into a temporary database table. Then, have the second block SELECT the data from the table.

PLS-00124: name of exception expected for first arg in exception_init pragma

Cause: The first argument passed to the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was something other than an exception name. The first argument must be the name of a legally declared exception.

Action: Replace the first argument with the name of a legally declared exception.

PLS-00125: type name expected

Cause: When a constant or variable was declared, its datatype was not specified. For example, the code might look like pi CONSTANT := 3.14159; -- should be CONSTANT REAL := 3.14159 Every constant and variable must have a datatype, which specifies a storage format, constraints, and valid range of values.

Action: Supply the type name

PLS-00126: selector ALL is not allowed

Cause: The ALL shortcut for specifying system privileges or statement options was used in a SQL statement. PL/SQL does not support the ALL shortcut.

Action: Remove the ALL shortcut from the SQL statement.

PLS-00127: Pragma string is not a supported pragma

Cause: The named pragma (compiler directive) is not among those supported by PL/SQL. The pragma name might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty.

Action: Check the spelling of the pragma name, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00128: Illegal number of arguments for pragma string

Cause: The number of arguments (actual parameters) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) is incorrect. A required argument was omitted from the argument list, or the pragma syntax is faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Supply the missing argument, or correct the faulty syntax.

PLS-00129: Pragma INTERFACE only supports C as its first argument

Cause: The first parameter passed to pragma INTERFACE specified a host language other than C. Currently, C is the only host language supported. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, which should be C, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00130: Pragma string expects 1st argument to be a procedure/function/package/cursor

Cause: The first argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not the name of a subprogram, package, or cursor, as required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00131: Pragma string expects 2nd argument to be a procedure

Cause: The second argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not the name of a procedure, as required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the second parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00132: Pragma RESTRICT_REFERENCES does not support string

Cause: One of the parameters passed to pragma RESTRICT_REFERENCES was not among the following, as required: WNDS, WNPS, RNDS, RNPS. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters)

Action: Check the spelling of all the parameters, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00133: Pragma string expects 1st argument to be an identifier or string-literal

Cause: The first argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not an identifier or string literal, as required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the first parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00134: Pragma string expects 2nd argument to be an identifier or string-literal

Cause: The second argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not an identifier or string literal, as required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the second parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00135: Pragma string expects 3rd argument to be an identifier, string or numeric literal

Cause: The fourth argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not a numeric literal, as required. The parameter might be miscoded, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the coding of the fourth parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00138: Precision for a binary type must be one of 8, 16, or 32

Cause: Invalid precision was specified for a signed or unsigned binary type.

Action: Specify precision as one of 8, 16, or 32.

PLS-00139: duplicate external NAME specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external NAME specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external NAME specifications.

PLS-00140: duplicate external LIBRARY specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external LIBRARY specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external LIBRARY specifications.

PLS-00141: duplicate external PARAMETER STYLE specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.

PLS-00142: duplicate external PARAMETER list specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external PARAMETER STYLE specifications.

PLS-00143: duplicate external LANGUAGE specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external LANGUAGE specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external LANGUAGE specifications.

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external CALLING STANDARD specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external CALLING STANDARD specifications.

PLS-00145: duplicate external WITH CONTEXT specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external WITH CONTEXT specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external WITH CONTEXT specifications.

PLS-00146: duplicate external TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two external TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED specifications.

Action: Remove one of the external external TRUSTED/UNTRUSTED specifications.

PLS-00147: LIBRARY file specification string is empty

Cause: A zero-length string was found for the LIBRARY file specification.

Action: Specify a non-zero length string for the LIBRARY file specification.

PLS-00148: Only 1 pragma of this type is allowed per subprogram

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES.

Action: Remove one of the PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES.

PLS-00150: found: string but expected : INTEGER

Cause: This error happens in the creation of a pl/sql external type: [SIGNED | UNSIGNED] BINARY INTEGER (<precision>). It may be referenced only in a create type statement. Such types are non-queryable. Something other than "INTEGER" was supplied.

Action: none

PLS-00151: Expression or Variable is an illegal type to PLS/QL: string

Cause: A type was used which does not belong PL/SQL. This type can only be referenced in CREATE TYPE statements, and is a non-queryable data type.

Action: none

PLS-00152: POINTER type may only reference an object type.

Cause: A POINTER type which does not belong to PL/SQL can only refer to an object type. This type can only be referenced in CREATE TYPE statements, and is a non-queryable data type.

Action: none

PLS-00153: A string type may only be used as an object type attribute.

Cause: A POINTER or [SIGNED/UNSIGNED] BINARY INTEGER can only be used as attributes of object types. These types can only be referenced in CREATE TYPE statements, and are non-queryable data types. One of these external PL/SQL types outside of an object type.

Action: none

PLS-00154: An object type may have only 1 MAP or 1 ORDER method.

Cause: More than one map or order function was declared. An object type can have only one map function or one order function, but not both.

Action: none

PLS-00155: Only a function may be a MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR method.

Cause: A procedure was declared as a MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR method. Only functions can be MAP, ORDER or CONSTRUCTOR methods.

Action: none

PLS-00156: Null constraints not supported for object attributes.

Cause: A null constraint was specified for an attribute in an object. This is not supported.

Action: Remove the constraint.

PLS-00157: AUTHID only allowed on schema-level programs

Cause: An AUTHID clause was specified for a subprogram inside a package or type. These clauses are only supported for top-level stored procedures, packages, and types.

Action: Remove the clause

PLS-00160: AUTHID must specify CURRENT_USER or DEFINER

Cause: The only two allowed options for AUTHID are CURRENT_USER and DEFINER.

Action: Fix the AUTHID clause to specify CURRENT_USER or DEFINER

PLS-00161: Pragma string expects 3rd argument to be an identifier or a string literal

Cause: The third argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not an identifier or a string literal when there is a fourth argument to the pragma. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the third parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00162: Pragma string expects 4th argument to be a positive integer literal

Cause: The fourth argument (actual parameter) passed to the named pragma (compiler directive) was not a numeric literal, as required. The parameter might be misspelled, or the pragma syntax might be faulty (for example, a comma might be missing between two parameters).

Action: Check the spelling of the fourth parameter, and make sure the proper syntax was used.

PLS-00164: cursor subqueries are not supported in this release

Cause: This feature is not yet implemented.

Action: none

PLS-00165: call statement is not supported in PL/SQL

Cause: A CALL statement was found in PL/SQL source.

Action: Use an ordinary PL/SQL function or procedure call.

PLS-00166: bad format for date, time or timestamp literal

Cause: The contents of the date, time or timestamp literal did not match the expected format "yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ssxfftzh:tzm".

Action: Use a correctly-formatted datetime literal.

PLS-00167: keyword BULK is used in a wrong context

Cause: keyword BULK is used illegally. For example, BULK is used without INTO clause

Action: remove the keyword BULK.

PLS-00168: duplicate modifier specification "string"

Cause: A method or object type modifier was specified more than once.

Action: Remove all but one occurence of the duplicate modifier.

PLS-00169: modifier "string" conflicts with prior "string" specification

Cause: The method or object type modifier specified conflicts with an earlier modifier. For example, a FINAL modifier cannot be combined with a NOT FINAL modifier.

Action: Remove one of the conflicting modifiers.

PLS-00170: the SQL statement in an OPEN statement or FOR loop must be a SELECT

Cause: An OPEN cursor statement or cursor FOR loop can only invoke a SELECT statement, not an UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE.

Action: Use only SELECT statements in OPEN or cursor FOR loops

PLS-00171: duplicate dedicated AGENT specification in subprogram expression

Cause: The subprogram was found to have two dedicated AGENT specifications.

Action: Remove one of the dedicated AGENT specifications.

PLS-00172: string literal too long

Cause: The string literal was longer than 32767 bytes.

Action: Use a string literal of at most 32767 bytes.

PLS-00173: SPACE, TAB or RETURN are disallowed as alternative quote delimiters

Cause: SPACE, TAB or RETURN was used as alternative quote delimiter.

Action: Use a character other than SPACE, TAB or RETURN as the alternative quote delimiter.

PLS-00174: a static boolean expression must be used

Cause: The expression contained a syntax or semantic error, or it did not have a boolean type or its evaluation raised an exception.

Action: Write correct static boolean expression.

PLS-00176: unexpected preprocessor token "$string"

Cause: A preprocessor token was used inappropriately.

Action: Remove the preprocessor token that is inappropriately used.

PLS-00177: "$string" preprocessor directive does not end properly

Cause: A preprocessor directive was not ended properly.

Action: Use $end to end the preprocessor directive properly.

PLS-00178: a static character expression must be used

Cause: The expression contained a syntax or semantic error, or it did not have a character type or its evaluation raised an exception.

Action: Write correct static character expression.

PLS-00179: $ERROR: string

Cause: $ERROR directive was used. This is an expected error message.

Action: NA

PLS-00180: preprocessor directives are not supported in this context

Cause: A preprocessor directive was used in a compilation unit for which conditional compilation is not supported.

Action: Do not use any preprocessor directives in this compilation unit.

PLS-00181: unsupported preprocessor directive "string"

Cause: An unsupported preprocessor directive was used.

Action: Use a supported preprocessor directive.

PLS-00201: identifier "string" must be declared

Cause: You tried to reference either an undeclared variable, exception, procedure, or other item, or an item to which no privilege was granted or an item to which privilege was granted only through a role.

Action: 1) Check your spelling and declaration of the referenced name. 2) Verify that the declaration for the referenced item is placed correctly in the block structure. 3) If the referenced item is indeed declared but you don"t have privileges to refer to that item, for security reasons, you will be notified only that the item is not declared. 4) If the referenced item is indeed declared and you believe that you have privileges to refer to that item, check the privileges; if the privileges were granted only via a role, then this is expected and documented behavior. Stored objects (packages, procedures, functions, triggers, views) run in the security domain of the object owner with no roles enabled except PUBLIC. Again, you will be notified only that the item was not declared.

PLS-00202: type "string" must be declared

Cause: An attempt was made to reference an undefined type. Either the type specifier was not declared or it is not within the scope of the reference.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the type specifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00203: function DECODE must be called with at least 3 non-boolean arguments

Cause: Less than three arguments were passed to the built-in function DECODE. Though DECODE takes a variable number of (non-Boolean) arguments, at least three arguments must be passed.

Action: Call DECODE with three or more arguments

PLS-00204: function or pseudo-column "string" may be used inside a SQL statement only

Cause: A pseudocolumn or proscribed function was used in a procedural statement. The SQL pseudocolumns (CURRVAL, LEVEL, NEXTVAL, ROWID, ROWNUM) can be used only in SQL statements. Likewise, certain functions such as DECODE, DUMP, and VSIZE and the SQL group functions (AVG, MIN, MAX, COUNT, SUM, STDDEV, VARIANCE) can be used only in SQL statements.

Action: Remove the pseudocolumn reference or function call from the procedural statement. Or, replace the procedural statement with a SELECT INTO statement; for example, replace bonus := DECODE(rating, 1, 5000, 2, 2500, ...); with the following statement: SELECT DECODE(rating, 1, 5000, 2, 2500, ...) INTO bonus FROM dual;

PLS-00205: Aggregate not allowed here

Cause: An aggregate, that is, a parenthesized list of values such as (7788, "SCOTT", 20), was found in an inappropriate context.

Action: Remove or relocate the aggregate.

PLS-00206: %%TYPE must be applied to a variable, column, field or attribute, not to "string"

Cause: The program object declared using the %TYPE datatype attribute is not of the appropriate class. It must be a variable, column, record component, subprogram formal parameter, or other object to which values can be assigned.

Action: Declare an object of the appropriate class or define the datatype in another way (for example, use %ROWTYPE).

PLS-00207: identifier "string", applied to implicit cursor SQL, is not a legal cursor attribute

Cause: An identifier that is not a cursor attribute was applied to the identifier SQL. For example, this error occurs if the cursor attribute is misspelled.

Action: Check the spelling of the cursor attribute name. Make sure the attribute is one of these: %NOTFOUND, %FOUND, %ROWCOUNT, %ISOPEN.

PLS-00208: identifier "string" is not a legal cursor attribute

Cause: An identifier not declared as a cursor attribute was applied to an identifier declared as a cursor. For example, this error occurs if the cursor attribute is misspelled.

Action: Check the spelling of the cursor attribute name. Make sure the attribute is one of these: %NOTFOUND, %FOUND, %ROWCOUNT, %ISOPEN.

PLS-00209: table "string" is not in FROM clause

Cause: In a query, a table referenced by the select list is not named in the FROM clause.

Action: Check the spelling of the table names, make sure each column in the select list refers to a table in the FROM clause, then re-execute the query.

PLS-00210: an OTHERS clause is required in this CASE statement

Cause: Unless the clauses of a CASE statement mention all values of the type of the selecting expression, an OTHERS clause must be provided as the last clause of the CASE statement. It is impossible to cover all values of type INTEGER (or NUMBER), so an OTHERS clause is always required when the expression following the keyword CASE is of type INTEGER (or NUMBER).

Action: none

PLS-00211: CASE labels or ranges must not be duplicated in different WHEN clauses

Cause: In this CASE statement, a value appears in more than one WHEN clause. A value may appear in at most one WHEN clause of a CASE statement.

Action: none

PLS-00212: could not obtain enough memory to compile CASE statement

Cause: The CASE statement is too big. The compiler did not have enough storage to process it.

Action: none

PLS-00213: package STANDARD not accessible

Cause: The PL/SQL compiler could not find package STANDARD in the current Oracle database. To compile a program, PL/SQL needs package STANDARD.

Action: Make sure that package STANDARD is available in the current Oracle database, then retry the operation.

PLS-00214: BEGIN...END block nesting is too deep

Cause: The number of levels of nesting in the PL/SQL block is too large. Blocks can be nested up to 255 levels deep, depending on the availability of system resources such as memory.

Action: Reorganize the block structure to avoid nesting at too deep a level. For example, move the lowest-level sub-block to a higher level.

PLS-00215: String length constraints must be in range (1 .. 32767)

Cause: When a character variable was declared, a length outside the legal range was specified. For example, the following declarations are illegal: flag CHAR(0); -- illegal; zero length name VARCHAR2(-10); -- illegal; negative length

Action: Change the length constraint, making sure that it lies in the range 1 .. 32767.

PLS-00216: NUMBER precision constraint must be in range (1 .. 38)

Cause: A NUMBER variable was declared with a precision that is outside the legal range. Declarations such as N NUMBER(800) or N NUMBER(123,10) are not supported.

Action: Change the illegal NUMBER precision constraint, making sure that it lies in the range 1 .. 38.

PLS-00217: NUMBER scale constraint must be in range (-84 .. 127)

Cause: A NUMBER variable was declared with a scale that is outside the legal range. Declarations such as N NUMBER(10,345) or N NUMBER(10,-100) are not supported.

Action: Change the illegal NUMBER scale constraint, making sure that it lies in the range -84 .. 127.

PLS-00218: a variable declared NOT NULL must have an initialization assignment

Cause: In general, variables that have no initialization clause in their declaration are automatically initialized to NULL. This is illogical for NOT NULL variables; therefore, an initialization clause is required.

Action: Add an initialization clause to the variable declaration. If the initilization is too complicated for the syntax, one can add a function call (in a later release).

PLS-00219: label "string" reference is out of scope

Cause: A block or loop label was used to qualify a variable (as in outer_block.date) that was not declared or is not within the scope of the label. The variable name might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the variable name. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00220: simple name required in this context

Cause: A qualified name such as A.B or A.B.C is not permitted here.

Action: Use a simple name such as A instead.

PLS-00221: "string" is not a procedure or is undefined

Cause: An identifier being referenced as a procedure was not declared or actually represents another object (for example, it might have been declared as a function).

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00222: no function with name "string" exists in this scope

Cause: An identifier being referenced as a function was not declared or actually represents another object (for example, it might have been declared as a procedure).

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00223: paramaterless procedure "string" used as function

Cause: An identifier being referenced as a parameterless function actually represents a procedure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure. If necessary, change the declaration of the identifier or change the reference so that it does not require a return value.

PLS-00224: object "string" must be of type function or array to be used this way

Cause: An identifier being referenced as a function or an array actually represents an object (a number or date, for example) that cannot be referenced in this way.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00225: subprogram or cursor "string" reference is out of scope

Cause: The prefix in a qualified name was a subprogram or cursor which was not in an enclosing scope; i.e., a subprogram or cursor name is being used as a scope qualifier for a reference to an entity (within that subprogram or cursor) that is not in scope. Example: declare x number; type t1 is record (a number); function f return t1 is a number; begin x := f.a; -- legal use of function "f" as a scope qualifier; -- resolves to local variable "a" in function "f". x := f().a; -- legal reference to component "a" of returned record end; begin x := f.a; -- illegal use of function "f" as a scope qualifier x := f().a; -- legal reference to component "a" of returned record end;

Action: a) if the intention was to refer to a local variable of a non-enclosing function, this is not allowed; remove the reference b) if this is a parameterless function, and the the intention was to access a field of the result of a call to this function, then use empty parentheses in the call.

PLS-00226: package "string" used as variable reference

Cause: A package was referenced in an expression as if it were a variable or function. Either the name of the variable or function is misspelled or the reference is not fully qualified. For example, to call the function my_function, which is stored in package my_package, dot notation must be used, as follows: ... my_package.my_function ...

Action: Correct the spelling of the variable or function name or use dot notation to reference the packaged variable or function.

PLS-00227: subprogram "in" formal string is not yet denotable

Cause: When the formal parameters of a subprogram were declared, one parameter was used to initialize another, as in PROCEDURE my_proc (j NUMBER, k NUMBER := j) IS ... The first parameter has no value until run time, so it cannot be used to initialize another parameter.

Action: Remove the illegal formal parameter reference.

PLS-00228: Illegal declaration of variable of type LONG

Cause: The identifier is a formal parameter which is being used in the context of a default expression value for a formal parameter in the same formal parameter list. E.g.: procedure p(j number, k number := j).

Action: Remove the offending variable definition

PLS-00229: Attribute expression within SQL expression

Cause: An attribute expression, such as SQL%NOTFOUND, was used in a SQL statement, but attribute expressions are allowed only in procedural statements.

Action: To workaround this limitation, assign the value of the attribute expression to a variable, then use the variable in the SQL statement. For example, replace the statement INSERT INTO audits VALUES (c1%ROWCOUNT, ...); with the following statements: row_count := c1%ROWCOUNT; INSERT INTO audits VALUES (row_count, ...);

PLS-00230: OUT and IN OUT formal parameters may not have default expressions

Cause: When the formal parameters of a procedure were declared, an OUT or IN OUT parameter was initialized to a default value, as in PROCEDURE calc_bonus (bonus OUT REAL := 0, ...) IS ... However, only IN parameters can be initialized to default values.

Action: Remove the illegal default expression.

PLS-00231: function "string" may not be used in SQL

Cause: A proscribed function was used in a SQL statement. Certain functions such as SQLCODE and SQLERRM can be used only in procedural statements.

Action: Remove the function call from the SQL statement. Or, replace the function call with a local variable. For example, the following statement is illegal: INSERT INTO errors VALUES (SQLCODE, SQLERRM); However, you can assign the values of SQLCODE and SQLERRM to local variables, then use the variables in the SQL statement, as follows: err_num := SQLCODE; err_msg := SQLERRM; INSERT INTO errors VALUES (err_num, err_msg);

PLS-00232: nested packages not permitted

Cause: A package was declared inside another package, but package declarations are allowed only at the top level. In other words, packages cannot be nested.

Action: Move the package declaration outside the enclosing package.

PLS-00233: function name used as an exception name in when clause

Cause: The WHEN clause in an exception handler contains a function call instead of an exception name. A valid exception handler consists of a WHEN clause, which must specify an exception, followed by a sequence of statements to be executed when that exception is raised.

Action: Check the spelling of the identifier in the WHEN clause, then replace the function call with an exception name.

PLS-00234: PARAMETER STYLE SQL may not be specified with a PARAMATERS list

Cause: A subprogram cannot specify both PARAMETER STYLE SQL and an explicit PARAMETERS list. Use PARAMETER STYLE GENERAL to supply default PARAMETERS list types.

Action: Change the subprogram specification.

PLS-00235: the external type is not appropriate for the parameter

Cause: An unsuccessful attempt was made to convert a parameter to the specified external parameter type.

Action: Specify a different external type or parameter type.

PLS-00236: Invalid external type specification for string.

Cause: The external type specified is not valid for one of the following: INDICATOR, LENGTH, MAXLEN, TDO, DURATION, CHARSETID, or CHARSETFORM.

Action: Check the manual and specify an appropriate external type.

PLS-00237: invalid BY VALUE indicator or length specification

Cause: BY VALUE was specified with an indicator or length parameter that is being passed in OUT or IN OUT mode. Only IN mode parameters may be passed by value.

Action: Remove the BY VALUE specification or change it to IN mode.

PLS-00238: external parameter name string not found in formal parameter list

Cause: An external parameter name was specified that does not match one in the formal parameter list.

Action: Correct the external parameter name.

PLS-00239: invalid external type specification for SQLCODE

Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the SQLCODE parameter.

Action: Correct the SQLCODE parameter specification.

PLS-00240: Invalid type specification for RETURN indicator, length, tdo, duration

Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the RETURN indicator, LENGTH, TDO, or DURATION.

Action: Correct the RETURN parameter specification.

PLS-00241: invalid external type specification for SQLSTATE

Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the SQLSTATE parameter.

Action: Correct the SQLSTATE parameter specification.

PLS-00242: invalid external type specification for CONTEXT

Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the CONTEXT parameter.

Action: Correct the CONTEXT parameter specification.

PLS-00243: invalid external type specification for SQLNAME

Cause: An inappropriate external parameter type was specified for the SQLNAME parameter.

Action: Correct the SQLNAME parameter specification.

PLS-00244: Multiple declarations in foreign function formal parameter list

Cause: There are multiple declarations of at least one the following FORMAL, INDICATOR, LENGTH, MAXLENGTH, or CONTEXT. PL/SQL allows only one declaration of the above for each formal parameter in the PARAMETERS clause.

Action: Correct the PARAMETERS clause.

PLS-00245: Formals used in the "parameters" clause must appear exactly once

Cause: There are multiple declarations of the formal parameter in the PARAMETERS clause. PL/SQL allows only one declaration of the formal parameter in the PARAMETERS clause.

Action: Correct the PARAMETERS clause.

PLS-00246: PARAMETER STYLE is unsupported

Cause: A PARAMETER STYLE clause was placed in the external subprogram body.

Action: Remove the PARAMETER STYLE clause.

PLS-00247: LIBRARY name must be specified

Cause: The LIBRARY name is missing from the external subprogram body.

Action: The LIBRARY name was not specified in the external subprogram body.

PLS-00248: Invalid Library Syntax

Cause: The LIBRARY syntax was entered incorrectly.

Action: Correct the LIBRARY syntax and recompile.

PLS-00249: Invalid WITH CONTEXT Syntax

Cause: CONTEXT was used in a WITH CONTEXT or a PARAMETERS clause. This is invalid.

Action: Check if WITH CONTEXT is used without specifying CONTEXT in the PARAMETERS clause or vice versa. The PARAMETERS clause must be complete. Thus if WITH CONTEXT is specified, then CONTEXT must be referenced in the PARAMETERS clause (if there is one).

PLS-00250: Incorrect Usage of string in parameters clause.

Cause: The usage of Keywords such as MAXLEN, LENGTH, CHARSETID, CHARSETFORM RETURN in the parameters clause was incorrect

Action: This error occurs if keywords like MAXLEN, LENGTH, TDO, DURATION, CHARSETID, or CHARSETFORM cannot be used with PL/SQL formal parameters or the mode of the formal parameter. For example, MAXLEN can only be declared for a CHAR or VARCHAR2 PL/SQL variable and its use is allowed only for OUT or INOUT PL/SQL variables. Also, RETURN was specified in the parameters clause for a PL/SQL PROCEDURE. E.g. CREATE PROCEDURE proc IS EXTERNAL NAME ... LIBRARY ... PARAMETERS(RETURN INDICATOR SHORT, RETURN);

PLS-00251: RETURN, for actual function return, must be last in the parameters clause

Cause: RETURN specification for the actual function return, used within the parameters clause must hold the very last position. Example : The following will give this error since the RETURN specification for the actual function return in the parameters clause is not the last. FUNCTION myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_INTEGER, var2 BINARY_INTEGER) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL NAME "myexternalfunc" LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2 SHORT, RETURN INT, RETURN INDICATOR SHORT); The correct syntax is the following. Note that RETURN for actual function return is the last specification in the parameters clause. FUNCTION myexternalfunc (var1 BINARY_INTEGER, var2 BINARY_INTEGER) RETURN BINARY_INTEGER IS EXTERNAL NAME "myexternalfunc" LIBRARY somelib PARAMETERS (var1 LONG, var2 SHORT, RETURN INDICATOR SHORT, RETURN INT);

Action: Correct the syntax of the RETURN specification in the parameters clause

PLS-00252: reference to the wrong copy of package STANDARD

Cause: A reference is made to the fixed package version of STANDARD when the database is open, or to the on-disk version when the database is closed. Explicit use of a SYS.X$ package name can lead to this. One might also see this from a compilation that begins while the db is closed but has the bad luck to have another session open the db before compilation is complete. Another possible cause is having "set serveroutput on" through svrmgrl when doing an "alter database close".

Action: Make use of on-disk versions of packages when the database is open and fixed (preloaded) versions when the database is closed. Do not attempt to use the wrong set. It should be quite hard to reference the wrong set, except by using SYS.X$ package names explicitly. Also, be sure to "set serveroutput off" before doing an "alter database close".

PLS-00253: Formal parameter string missing in the parameters clause

Cause: The parameter clause does not have a matching parameter for a parameter specified in the formal parameter list.

Action: Provide a matching parameter in parameters clause for every formal parameter.

PLS-00254: OUT and IN/OUT modes cannot be used in this context

Cause: actual parameter mode (OUT, or IN/OUT) is not used properly in USING clause. For USING clause in an OPEN statement, only IN mode is allowed.

Action: change the parameter mode in the USING clause to an appropriate mode.

PLS-00255: CALL Specification parameters cannot have default values

Cause: CALL Specification formal parameters default values are disallowed.

Action: Remove the default values in the formal parameter list (spec or body) and compile again.

PLS-00256: %s is not a valid external library

Cause: The supplied external library name in the external clause is not a valid alias library.

Action: Provide the name of a valid alias library which is previously declared.

PLS-00257: illegal use of EXTERNAL clause in a TYPE or PACKAGE specification

Cause: An EXTERNAL Clause was detected in a TYPE Specification or a PACKAGE specification.

Action: Remove the EXTERNAL Clause and use the new CALL Specification syntax.

PLS-00258: constrained datatypes disallowed in CALL Specifications

Cause: A call specification for C or Java cannot have constraints on the PL/SQL formal parameter types. PL/SQL types which have have constraints are NATURAL, NATURALN, POSITIVE, POSITIVEN, SIGNTYPE, INTEGER, INT, SMALLINT, DECIMAL, NUMERIC, DEC This includes NOT NULL constraints from POSITIVEN, NATURALN

Action: Use the unconstrained type for that PL/SQL formal declaration i.e NUMBER, BINARY_INTEGER or PLS_INTEGER

PLS-00259: rights model (AUTHID) must be specified

Cause: It is mandatory to specify the rights model if a PL/SQL PROCEDURE, FUNCTION, PACKAGE OR TYPE HAS CALL-Specifications

Action: Add the AUTHID clause indicating the rights model.

PLS-00260: Datetime/Interval constraints must be in range (0 .. 9)

Cause: A Datetime/Interval variable or attribute was declared with a constraint outside the legal range.

Action: Change the illegal constraint.

PLS-00261: Java CALL Specification not yet allowed as a method in an object type

Cause: A call specification declaring that an implementation is in Java has been found for a method of an object or opaque type. This usage is not yet supported.

Action: Implement the method using a language other than Java. A PL/SQL method implementation is permitted to call to Java through a call specification provided as a schema-level procedure or in a package; such a call specification can only target a static Java method, however. ****** errors until 300 are reserved for External Procedures ********** ****** PH2 errors **********

PLS-00302: component "string" must be declared

Cause: In a reference to a component (for example, in the name "A.B", "B" is a component of "A"), the component has not been declared. The component might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the component. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00303: qualifier "string" must be declared

Cause: In a name such as "A.B", "A" is the qualifier, and "B" is a component of the qualifier. This error occurs when no declaration for the qualifier is found.The qualifier might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the qualifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00304: cannot compile body of "string" without its specification

Cause: The compiled package specification required to compile a package body could not be found. Some possible causes follow: --the package name is misspelled --the package specification was never compiled --the compiled package specification is not accessible The package specification must be compiled before compiling the package body, and the compiler must have access to the compiled specification.

Action: Check the spelling of the package name. Compile the package specification before compiling the package body. Also, make sure the compiler has access to the compiled specification.

PLS-00305: previous use of "string" (at line string) conflicts with this use

Cause: While looking for prior declarations of a cursor, procedure, function, or package, the compiler found another object with the same name in the same scope. Or, the headers of subprogram in a package specification and body do not match word for word.

Action: Check the spelling of the cursor, procedure, function, or package name. Also check the names of all constants, variables, parameters, and exceptions declared in the same scope. Then, remove or rename the object with the duplicate name. Or, change the headers of the packaged subprogram so that they match word for word.

PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to "string"

Cause: This error occurs when the named subprogram call cannot be matched to any declaration for that subprogram name. The subprogram name might be misspelled, a parameter might have the wrong datatype, the declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure. For example, this error occurs if the built-in square root function SQRT is called with a misspelled name or with a parameter of the wrong datatype.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the subprogram name. Also confirm that its call is correct, its parameters are of the right datatype, and, if it is not a built-in function, that its declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00307: too many declarations of "string" match this call

Cause: The declaration of a subprogram or cursor name is ambiguous because there was no exact match between the declaration and the call and more than one declaration matched the call when implicit conversions of the parameter datatypes were used. The subprogram or cursor name might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the subprogram or cursor name. Also confirm that its call is correct, its parameters are of the right datatype, and, if it is not a built-in function, that its declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00308: this construct is not allowed as the origin of an assignment

Cause: The construct or expression does not designate a value that can be assigned to a variable. For example, the datatype name NUMBER cannot appear on the right hand side of an assignment statement as in X := NUMBER.

Action: Correct the illegal assignment statement.

PLS-00309: with %%LAST attribute, "string" must be a variable of an enumerated type

Cause: The "%LAST" attribute must be applied to an identifier that has been declared as a variable of an enumerated type (or subtype of an enumerated type). This error occurs when "%LAST" follows some identifier that has not been so declared.

Action: none

PLS-00310: with %%ROWTYPE attribute, "string" must name a table, cursor or cursor-variable

Cause: The %ROWTYPE attribute must be applied to an identifier declared as a cursor, cursor variable, or database table. This error occurs when %ROWTYPE follows some identifier that has not been so declared.

Action: Change the declaration or do not apply the %ROWTYPE attribute to the identifier.

PLS-00311: the declaration of "string" is incomplete or malformed

Cause: This occurrence of the identifier cannot be compiled because its type has not been properly defined.

Action: Correct the faulty datatype declaration.

PLS-00312: a positional parameter association may not follow a named association

Cause: When a list of parameters is passed to a subprogram or cursor, if both positional and named associations are used, all positional associations must be placed in their declared order and before all named associations, which can be in any order.

Action: Reorder the parameter list to meet the requirements or use named association only.

PLS-00313: "string" not declared in this scope

Cause: There is no declaration for the given identifier within the scope of reference. The identifier might be misspelled, its declaration might be faulty, or the declaration might be placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00314: TABLE declarations are not allowed as PL/SQL local variables

Cause: In a precompiled program, the DECLARE TABLE statement was mistakenly used inside an embedded PL/SQL block. If an embedded PL/SQL block refers to a database table that does not yet exist, use the DECLARE TABLE statement to tell the precompiler what the table will look like. However, DECLARE TABLE statements are allowed only in the host program.

Action: Move the DECLARE TABLE statement outside the embedded PL/SQL block. If you want a variable that can store an entire row of data selected from a database table or fetched from a cursor or cursor variable, use the %ROWTYPE attribute.

PLS-00315: Implementation restriction: unsupported table index type

Cause: In the INDEX BY clause of a PL/SQL table declaration, a datatype other than BINARY_INTEGER, PLS_INTEGER, or VARCHAR2 was specified. PL/SQL tables can have one column and a primary key. The column can have any scalar type, but the primary key must be either a binary integer type or VARCHAR2.

Action: Use one of the supported key types in the INDEX BY clause.

PLS-00316: PL/SQL TABLEs must use a single index

Cause: In the INDEX BY clause of a PL/SQL table declaration, a composite primary key was specified. PL/SQL tables must have a simple, unnamed primary key of a binary integer or VARCHAR2 type.

Action: Use one of the supported key types in the INDEX BY clause.

PLS-00317: incomplete type "string" was not completed in its declarative region

Cause: An incomplete type declaration was not completed in the declarative region where it was declared.

Action: Complete the type appropriately, then retry the operation.

PLS-00318: type "string" is malformed because it is a non-REF mutually recursive type

Cause: A type-declaration such as: -- a non-REF recursive type, for example: type t is record (a t); or -- non-REF mutually dependent types, for example: type t1; type t2 is record (a t1); type t1 is record (a t2); was performed. In these examples, the type is malformed because it participates in a mutually recursive non-REF relationship with itself and possibly other types.

Action: Use another type to remove the recursion.

PLS-00319: subquery in an IN or NOT IN clause must contain exactly one column

Cause: An invalid expression such as X IN (SELECT A,B ...) was used. When a [NOT]IN clause is used with a subquery, it does not test for set membership. The number of expressions in the [NOT]IN clause and the subquery select list must match. So, in the example above, the subquery must specify at most one column.

Action: Change the subquery to select only one column.

PLS-00320: the declaration of the type of this expression is incomplete or malformed

Cause: In a declaration, the name of a variable or cursor is misspelled or the declaration makes a forward reference. Forward references are not allowed in PL/SQL. A variable or cursor must be declared before it is referenced it in other statements, including other declarative statements. For example, the following declaration of dept_rec raises this exception because it refers to a cursor not yet declared: DECLARE dept_rec dept_cur%ROWTYPE; CURSOR dept_cur IS SELECT ... ...

Action: Check the spelling of all identifiers in the declaration. If necessary, move the declaration so that it makes no forward references.

PLS-00321: expression "string" is inappropriate as the left hand side of an assignment statement

Cause: The expression does not designate a variable that can have a value assigned to it. For example, the function SYSDATE cannot appear on the left hand side of an assignment statement such as SYSDATE := "01-JAN-1990";

Action: Correct the illegal assignment statement.

PLS-00322: declaration of a constant "string" must contain an initialization assignment

Cause: A constant declaration lacks the assignment of an initial value. For example, in the following declaration" := 3.14159" is the initialization clause: "pi constant number := 3.14159;"

Action: Correct the constant declaration by supplying the missing initialization assignment.

PLS-00323: subprogram or cursor "string" is declared in a package specification and must be defined in the package body

Cause: A subprogram specification was placed in a package specification, but the corresponding subprogram body was not placed in the package body. The package body implements the package specification. So, the package body must contain the definition of every subprogram declared in the package specification.

Action: Check the spelling of the subprogram name. If necessary, add the missing subprogram body to the package body.

PLS-00324: cursor attribute may not be applied to non-cursor "string"

Cause: This error occurs when a cursor-attribute ("%FOUND", "%NOTFOUND", "%ROWS", "%IS_OPEN", etc.) appears following an identifier that is not declared as a cursor or cursor variable. It occurs, for example, if the variable name my_cur in my_cur%FOUND was not properly declared as a cursor or if the variable declaration was placed incorrectly in the block structure.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the identifier. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00325: non-integral numeric literal string is inappropriate in this context

Cause: A non-integral numeric literal was used in a context that requires an integer (a number with no digits to the right of its decimal point).

Action: Replace the inappropriate literal with an integer literal.

PLS-00326: IN clause must contain same number of expressions as subquery

Cause: The number of expressions in an IN clause did not equal the number of expressions in a corresponding subquery select list. For example, the following statement is invalid because the IN clause contains two expressions, but the subquery select list contains just one: ... WHERE (ename, sal) IN (SELECT sal FROM emp);

Action: Check the number of expressions in each set, then revise the statement to make the numbers equal.

PLS-00327: "string" is not in SQL scope here

Cause: In a SQL statement, a reference was made to an out-of-scope database object. The referenced object might be misspelled, or the reference might be mixed, as in the following example: CURSOR c1 IS SELECT dept.dname FROM emp;

Action: Check the spelling of all database objects in the SQL statement, and make sure all references are to objects within the current scope.

PLS-00328: A subprogram body must be defined for the forward declaration of string.

Cause: A subprogram specification was declared, but the corresponding subprogram body was not defined. Write the subprogram specification and body as a unit. An alternative solution is to separate the specification from its body, which is necessary when you want to define mutually recursive subprograms or you want to group subprograms in a package.

Action: Check the spelling of the subprogram name. If necessary, supply the missing subprogram body.

PLS-00329: schema-level type has illegal reference to string

Cause: An attempt was made to make a reference from a schema-level type to something other than a schema-level type.

Action: Replace the illegal reference and retry the operation.

PLS-00330: invalid use of type name or subtype name

Cause: A datatype or subtype specifier was mistakenly used in place of a constant, variable, or expression. For example, the code might look like IF emp_count > number THEN ... -- illegal; NUMBER is a datatype specifier

Action: Replace the datatype or subtype specifier with a valid constant, variable, or expression.

PLS-00331: illegal reference to string

Cause: You had an EITHER
1. an illegal reference to some object in user SYS. to use one of them in an illegal way OR

2. an illegal reference to a remote object type.

Action: Remove the reference.

PLS-00332: "string" is not a valid prefix for a qualified name

Cause: You have a malformed qualified name because the prefix is not valid.

Action: Remove or change the reference.

PLS-00333: "string" must match an object-table alias in this context

Cause: The name, appearing in the context of a REF or VALUE, did not resolve to an object-table alias.

Action: 1) If there is no object table in the scope, then remove the REF or VALUE; or provide the missing object table reference. 2) If there is an object table in the scope, but you"re not referring to it, add the reference.

PLS-00334: "string" matches table or view without an alias

Cause: You have a reference to a table or view name without an alias.

Action: Replace the reference with a reference to an object-table alias.

PLS-00335: a package name conflicts with an existing object

Cause: In a CREATE PACKAGE statement, a package (which is a database object that groups logically related PL/SQL types, objects, and subprograms) was given the same name as an existing database object.

Action: Give the package a unique name.

PLS-00336: non-object-table "string" illegal in this context

Cause: You have a REF or VALUE modifier for a non-object-table

Action: Replace the reference with a reference to an object-table alias.

PLS-00337: "string" matches too many object table aliases

Cause: You have an ambiguous reference to an object-table alias; there are at least two object-table aliases in the same scope.

Action: Remove all but one of the references or change the alias names of the remaining.

PLS-00338: unable to resolve "string" as a column or row expression

Cause: You have a reference to a name that could not be resolved as a column or row expression. This occurred in an update or insert statement involving an object-table.

Action: If this is an update statement and you intended to code this as a column reference, fix it as such. If you intended to code this as a row expression, change this to refer to an alias of an object-table.

PLS-00339: "string" matches object-table without a REF or VALUE modifier

Cause: You have an object-table name appearing without a REF or VALUE modifier.

Action: If you intended to code this with a REF or VALUE modifier, add the modifier; if you intended to code this as a column reference, change the reference appropriately; otherwise, remove the reference.

PLS-00341: declaration of cursor "string" is incomplete or malformed

Cause: A cursor declaration is improper or an identifier referenced in the cursor declaration was not properly declared. A return type that does not refer to an existing database table or a previously declared cursor or cursor variable might have been specified. For example, the following cursor declaration is illegal because c1 is not yet fully defined: CURSOR c1 RETURN c1%ROWTYPE IS SELECT ... -- illegal In this case, a return type does not have to be specified because it is implicit.

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the cursor name and any identifiers referenced in the cursor declaration. Also confirm that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure. If a return type was specified, make sure that it refers to an existing database table or a previously declared cursor or cursor variable.

PLS-00351: Not logged onto database "string"

Cause: An attempt was made to access an Oracle database without being logged on. Probably, an invalid username or password was entered.

Action: Log on to Oracle with a correctly spelled username and password before trying to access the database.

PLS-00352: Unable to access another database "string"

Cause: An attempt was made to reference an object in a database other than the current local or remote Oracle database.

Action: Correct the reference and make sure the object is in the current Oracle database.

PLS-00353: "string" must name a user in the database

Cause: This error occurs when the username was misspelled or when the user does not exist in the database.

Action: Check the spelling of the username and make sure the user exists.

PLS-00354: username must be a simple identifier

Cause: A qualified username such as scott.accts is not permitted in this context.

Action: Specify a simple username such as scott instead.

PLS-00355: use of pl/sql table not allowed in this context

Cause: A PL/SQL table was referenced in the wrong context (for example, with a remote link).

Action: Remove the PL/SQL table reference or change the context.

PLS-00356: "string" must name a table to which the user has access

Cause: The named table is not accessible to the user. This error occurs when the table name or username was misspelled, the table and/or user does not exist in the database, the user was not granted the necessary privileges, or the table name duplicates the name of a local variable or loop counter.

Action: Check the spelling of the table name and username. Also confirm that the table and user exist, the user has the necessary privileges, and the table name does not duplicate the name of a local variable or loop counter.

PLS-00357: Table,View Or Sequence reference "string" not allowed in this context

Cause: A reference to database table, view, or sequence was found in an inappropriate context. Such references can appear only in SQL statements or (excluding sequences) in %TYPE and %ROWTYPE declarations. Some valid examples follow: SELECT ename, emp.deptno, dname INTO my_ename, my_deptno, my_dept .FROM emp, dept WHERE emp.deptno = dept.deptno; DECLARE last_name emp.ename%TYPE; dept_rec dept%ROWTYPE;

Action: Remove or relocate the illegal reference.

PLS-00358: column "string" exists in more than one table; use qualifier

Cause: The statement is ambiguous because it specifies two or more tables having the same column name. For example, the following statement is ambiguous because deptno is a column in both tables: SELECT deptno, loc INTO my_deptno, my_loc FROM emp, dept;

Action: Precede the column name with the table name (as in emp.deptno) so that the column reference is unambiguous.

PLS-00359: assignment target in "string" must have components

Cause: An assignment target was declared that lacks the components needed to store the assigned values. For example, this error occurs if you try to assign a row of column values to a variable instead of a record, as follows: DECLARE dept_rec dept%ROWTYPE; my_deptno dept.deptno%TYPE; ... BEGIN SELECT deptno, dname, loc INTO my_deptno -- invalid FROM dept WHERE ...

Action: Check the spelling of the names of the assignment target and all its components. Make sure the assignment target is declared with the required components and that the declaration is placed correctly in the block structure.

PLS-00360: cursor declaration without body needs return type

Cause: A cursor declaration lacks either a body (SELECT statement) or a return type. If you want to separate a cursor specification from its body, a return type must be supplied, as in CURSOR c1 RETURN emp%ROWTYPE;

Action: Add a SELECT statement or return type to the cursor declaration.

PLS-00361: IN cursor "string" cannot be OPEN"ed

Cause: A cursor parameter with mode IN cannot be modified, and therefore cannot be opened.

Action: Change the cursor parameter to be IN OUT or OUT

PLS-00362: invalid cursor return type; "string" must be a record type

Cause: In a cursor specification or REF CURSOR type definition, a non- record type such as NUMBER or TABLE was specified as the return type. This is not allowed. Only the following return types are allowed: <record_type_name> <record_name>%TYPE <table_name>%ROWTYPE <cursor_name>%ROWTYPE <cursor_variable_name>%ROWTYTPE

Action: Revise the cursor specification or REF CURSOR type definition so that it specifies one of the above return types.

PLS-00363: expression "string" cannot be used as an assignment target

Cause: A literal, constant, IN parameter, loop counter, or function call was mistakenly used as the target of an assignment. For example, the following statement is illegal because the assignment target, 30, is a literal: SELECT deptno INTO 30 FROM dept WHERE ... -- illegal

Action: Correct the statement by using a valid assignment target.

PLS-00364: loop index variable "string" use is invalid

Cause: An attempt was made to assign the value of an OUT parameter to

Action: Use an IN OUT parameter instead of the OUT parameter. Inside a

PLS-00366: subtype of a NOT NULL type must also be NOT NULL

Cause: After a subtype was defined as NOT NULL, it was used as the base type for another subtype defined as NULL. That is not allowed. For example, the code might look like DECLARE SUBTYPE Weekday IS INTEGER NOT NULL; SUBTYPE Weekend IS Weekday NULL; -- illegal instead of DECLARE SUBTYPE Weekday IS INTEGER NOT NULL; SUBTYPE Weekend IS Weekday;

Action: Revise the subtype definitions to eliminate the conflict.

PLS-00367: a RAISE statement with no exception name must be inside an exception handler

Cause: A RAISE statement not followed by an exception name was found outside an exception handler

Action: Delete the RAISE statement, relocate it to an exception handler, or supply the missing exception name.

PLS-00368: in RAISE statement, "string" must be an exception name

Cause: The identifier in a RAISE statement is not a valid exception name.

Action: Make sure the identifier in the RAISE statement was declared as an exception and is correctly placed in the block structure. If you are using the name of a PL/SQL predefined exception, check its spelling.

PLS-00369: no choices may appear with choice OTHERS in an exception handler

Cause: A construct of the form WHEN excep1 OR OTHERS => was encountered in the definition of an exception handler. The OTHERS handler must appear by itself as the last exception handler in a block.

Action: Remove the identifier that appears with OTHERS or write a separate exception handler for that identifier.

PLS-00370: OTHERS handler must be last among the exception handlers of a block

Cause: One or more exception handlers appear after an OTHERS handler. However, the OTHERS handler must be the last handler in a block or subprogram because it acts as the handler for all exceptions not named specifically.

Action: Move the OTHERS handler so that it follows all specific exception handlers.

PLS-00371: at most one declaration for "string" is permitted

Cause: A reference to an identifier was ambiguous because there were multiple declarations for the identifier. At most one local variable with a given identifier is permitted in the declarative part of a block, procedure, or function. At most one label with a given identifier may appear in a block.

Action: Check the spelling of the identifier. If necessary, remove all but one declaration of the identifier.

PLS-00372: In a procedure, RETURN statement cannot contain an expression

Cause: In a procedure, a RETURN statement contains an expression, which is not allowed. In functions, a RETURN statement must contain an expression because its value is assigned to the function identifier. However, in procedures, a RETURN statement simply lets you exit before the normal end of the procedure is reached.

Action: Remove the expression from the RETURN statement, or redefine the procedure as a function.

PLS-00373: EXIT label "string" must label a LOOP statement

Cause: The label in an EXIT statement does not refer to a loop. An EXIT statement need not specify a label. However, if a label is specified (as in EXIT my_label), it must refer to a loop statement.

Action: Make sure the label name is spelled correctly and that it refers to a loop statement.

PLS-00374: illegal EXIT statement; it must appear inside the loop labeled "string"

Cause: An EXIT statement need not specify a label. However, if a label is specified (as in EXIT my_label), the EXIT statement must be inside the loop designated by that label.

Action: Make sure the label name is spelled correctly; if necessary, move the EXIT statement inside the loop to which the label refers.

PLS-00375: illegal GOTO statement; this GOTO cannot branch to label "string"

Cause: The line and column numbers accompanying the error message refer to a GOTO that branches from outside a construct (a loop or exception handler, for example) that contains a sequence of statements to a label inside that sequence of statements. Such a branch is not allowed.

Action: Either move the GOTO statement inside the sequence of statements or move the labeled statement outside the sequence of statements.

PLS-00376: illegal EXIT statement; it must appear inside a loop

Cause: An EXIT statement was found outside of a loop construct. The EXIT statement is used to exit prematurely from a loop and so must always appear within a loop.

Action: Either remove the EXIT statement or place it inside a loop.

PLS-00377: internal type PLS_INTEGER is not included in this release of PL/SQL

Cause: The type-name INTEGER was used in a declaration.

Action: none

PLS-00378: invalid compilation unit for this release of PL/SQL

Cause: A compilation unit is a file containing PL/SQL source code that is passed to the compiler. Only compilation units containing blocks, declarations, statements, and subprograms are allowed. This error occurs when some other language construct is passed to the compiler.

Action: Make sure the compilation unit contains only blocks, declarations, statements, and subprograms.

PLS-00379: CASE statements are not included in this release of PL/SQL

Cause: The unit being compiled contains a CASE statement. However, the current release of PL/SQL does not support CASE statements.

Action: Remove the CASE statement from the compilation unit.

PLS-00380: functions and procedures are not included in this release of PL/SQL

Cause: The program being compiled contains a declaration of a FUNCTION or PROCEDURE.

Action: none

PLS-00381: type mismatch found at "string" between column and variable in subquery or INSERT

Cause: The datatypes of a column and a variable do not match. The variable was encountered in a subquery or INSERT statement.

Action: Change the variable datatype to match that of the column.

PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type

Cause: An expression has the wrong datatype for the context in which it was found.

Action: Change the datatype of the expression. You might want to use datatype conversion functions.

PLS-00383: type mismatch found at "string" inside an IN or NOT IN clause

Cause: In a test for set membership such as X NOT IN (SELECT Y ... ), the expressions X and Y do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the select list.

PLS-00384: type mismatch found at "string" in UPDATE"s SET clause

Cause: The column to the left of the equal sign in the SET clause of an UPDATE statement does not match in datatype with the column, expression, or subquery to the right of the equal sign, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the SET clause.

PLS-00385: type mismatch found at "string" in SELECT...INTO statement

Cause: The expressions to the left and right of the INTO clause in a SELECT...INTO statement do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the select list.

PLS-00386: type mismatch found at "string" between FETCH cursor and INTO variables

Cause: An assignment target in the INTO list of a FETCH statement does not match in datatype with the corresponding column in the select list of the cursor declaration, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the cursor declaration or change the datatype of the assignment target. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the select list of the query associated with the cursor.

PLS-00387: INTO variable cannot be a database object

Cause: An item in the INTO list of a FETCH or SELECT statement was found to be a database object. INTO introduces a list of user-defined variables to which output values are assigned. Therefore, database objects cannot appear in the INTO list.

Action: Check the spelling of the INTO list item. If necessary, remove the item from the INTO list or replace it with a user-defined output variable.

PLS-00388: undefined column "string" in subquery

Cause: A subquery contains a column name that was not defined in the specified table.

Action: Change the expression to specify a column that was defined.

PLS-00389: table, view or alias name "string" not allowed in this context

Cause: A table, view or alias name <name> corresponding to a regular (non-object) table appeared in an inappropriate context.

Action: Remove the reference, or, if you intended to code this as a column reference, fix it as such.

PLS-00390: undefined column "string" in INSERT statement

Cause: Check the spelling of the column name, then change the expression so that it refers only to defined columns.

Action: Check the spelling of the column name, then change the expression so that it refers only to defined columns.

PLS-00391: undefined column "string" in UPDATE statement

Cause: An UPDATE statement refers to a column not defined for the table or view being updated.

Action: Check the spelling of the column name, then revise the statement so that it refers only to defined columns.

PLS-00392: Type mismatch in arguments to BETWEEN

Cause: In a comparison such as X BETWEEN Y AND Z, the expressions X, Y, and Z do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions.

PLS-00393: wrong number of columns in SELECT...INTO statement

Cause: The number of columns selected by a SELECT...INTO statement does not match the number of variables in the INTO clause.

Action: Change the number of columns in the select list or the number of variables in the INTO clause so that the numbers match.

PLS-00394: wrong number of values in the INTO list of a FETCH statement

Cause: The number of variables in the INTO clause of a FETCH statement does not match the number of columns in the cursor declaration.

Action: Change the number of variables in the INTO clause or the number of columns in the cursor declaration so that the numbers match.

PLS-00395: wrong number of values in VALUES clause of INSERT statement

Cause: The number of columns in an INSERT statement does not match the number of values in the VALUES clause. For example, the following statement is faulty because no column is specified for the value 20: INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename) VALUES (7788, "SCOTT", 20);

Action: Change the number of items in the column list or the number of items in the VALUES list so that the numbers match.

PLS-00396: INSERT statement"s subquery yields wrong number of columns

Cause: The number of columns in an INSERT statement does not match the number of columns in a subquery select list. For example, the following statement is faulty because no corresponding column is specified for col3: INSERT INTO emp (ename, empno) SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM ...

Action: Change the number of items in the column list of the INSERT statement or the number of items in the select list so that the numbers match.

PLS-00397: Type mismatch in arguments to IN

Cause: In a test for set membership such as X IN (Y, Z), the expressions X, Y, and Z do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the expressions so that their datatypes match. You might want to use datatype conversion functions.

PLS-00398: wrong number of columns in UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS expression

Cause: The SELECT clauses to the left and right of a UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS expression do not select the same number of columns. For example, the following statement is faulty because the select lists do not contain the same number of items: CURSOR my_cur IS SELECT ename FROM emp INTERSECT SELECT ename, empno FROM emp;

Action: Change the select lists so that they contain the same number of items.

PLS-00399: different types of columns in UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS expression

Cause: The select lists to the left and right of a UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS expression select at least one column that is mismatched in datatype. For example, the following statement is faulty because the constant 3 has datatype NUMBER, whereas SYSDATE has datatype DATE: CURSOR my_cur IS SELECT 3 FROM emp INTERSECT SELECT SYSDATE FROM emp;

Action: Change the select lists so that they match in datatype. You might want to use datatype conversion functions in the select list of one or more queries.

PLS-00400: different number of columns between cursor SELECT statement and return value

Cause: In a cursor declaration, a return type (such as RETURN emp%ROWTYPE) was specified, but the number of returned column values does not match the number of select-list items.

Action: Change the cursor return type or the select list so that the number of returned column values matches the number of select-list items.

PLS-00401: different column types between cursor SELECT statement and return value found at "string"

Cause: In a cursor declaration, a return type (such as RETURN emp%ROWTYPE) was specified, but a returned column value and its corresponding select-list item have different datatypes.

Action: Change the cursor return type or the select list so that each returned column value and its corresponding select-list item have the same datatype.

PLS-00402: alias required in SELECT list of cursor to avoid duplicate column names

Cause: A cursor was declared with a SELECT statement that contains duplicate column names. Such references are ambiguous.

Action: Replace the duplicate column name in the select list with an alias.

PLS-00403: expression "string" cannot be used as an INTO-target of a SELECT/FETCH statement

Cause: A FETCH statement was unable to assign a value to an assignment target in its INTO list because the target is not a legally formed and declared variable. For example, the following assignment is illegal because "Jones" is a character string, not a variable: FETCH my_cur INTO "Jones";

Action: Check the spelling and declaration of the assignment target. Make sure that the rules for forming variable names are followed.

PLS-00404: cursor "string" must be declared with FOR UPDATE to use with CURRENT OF

Cause: The use of the CURRENT OF cursor_name clause is legal only if cursor_name was declared with a FOR UPDATE clause.

Action: Add a FOR UPDATE clause to the definition of the cursor or do not use the CURRENT OF cursor_name clause.

PLS-00405: subquery not allowed in this context

Cause: A subquery was used in an inappropriate context, such as: if (SELECT deptno FROM emp WHERE ... ) = 20 then ... Subqueries are allowed only in SQL statements.

Action: The same result can be obtained by using a temporary variable, as in: SELECT deptno INTO temp_var FROM emp WHERE ...; IF temp_var = 20 THEN ...

PLS-00406: length of SELECT list in subquery must match number of assignment targets

Cause: A query select list is not the same length as the list of targets that will receive the returned values. For example, the following statement is faulty because the subquery returns two values for one target: UPDATE emp SET ename = (SELECT ename, empno FROM emp WHERE ename = "SMITH") ...

Action: Change one of the lists so that they contain the same number of items.

PLS-00407: "*" not allowed here; a list of columns is required

Cause: An asterisk (*) was used as an abbreviation for a list of column names. However, in this context the column names must be written out explicitly.

Action: Replace the asterisk with a list of column names.

PLS-00408: duplicate column "string" not permitted in INSERT or UPDATE

Cause: An UPDATE or INSERT statement has a column list that contains duplicate column names.

Action: Check the spelling of the column names, then eliminate the duplication.

PLS-00409: duplicate variable "string" in INTO list is not permitted

Cause: The same variable appears twice in the INTO list of a SELECT or FETCH statement.

Action: Remove one of the variables from the INTO list.

PLS-00410: duplicate fields in RECORD,TABLE or argument list are not permitted

Cause: When a user-defined record was declared, the same name was given to two fields. Like column names in a database table, field names in a user-defined record must be unique.

Action: Check the spelling of the field names, then remove the duplicate.

PLS-00411: Number of values in aggregate and in subquery don"t match

Cause: In a statement of the form aggregate = subquery, the numbers of values in the aggregate and subquery are unequal. For example, the code might look like ... WHERE (10,20,30) = (SELECT empno,deptno FROM emp WHERE...);

Action: Revise the aggregate or subquery so that the numbers of values match.

PLS-00412: list of values not allowed as argument to this function or procedure

Cause: A parenthesized list of values separated by commas (that is, an aggregate) was used in the wrong context. For example, the following usage is invalid: WHERE (col1, col2) > (SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table ...) However, an equal sign can take a list of values and a subquery as left- and right-hand-side arguments, respectively. So, the following usage is valid: WHERE (col1, col2) = (SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table ...)

Action: Rewrite the expression. For example, the clause WHERE (col1, col2) > (SELECT col3, col4 FROM my_table ...) can be rewritten as WHERE col1 > (SELECT col3 FROM my_table ...) AND col2 > (SELECT col4 FROM my_table ...)

PLS-00413: identifier in CURRENT OF clause is not a cursor name

Cause: The identifier in a CURRENT OF clause names an object other than a cursor.

Action: Check the spelling of the identifier. Make sure that it names the cursor in the DELETE or UPDATE statement and that it names the cursor itself, not a FOR-loop variable.

PLS-00414: no column "string" in table

Cause: A table name or alias was used to qualify a column reference, but the column was not found in that table. Either the column was never defined or the column name is misspelled.

Action: Confirm that the column was defined and check the spelling of the column name.

PLS-00415: "string" is an OUT parameter and cannot appear in a function

Cause: An OUT or IN OUT formal parameter was used in a function specification.

Action: none

PLS-00416: The third argument of DECODE cannot be NULL

Cause: The third argument of DECODE is NULL.

Action: Enter an argument with a proper type and value.

PLS-00417: unable to resolve "string" as a column

Cause: A database table, view, or column was specified in a SQL statement that does not exist, or the privileges required to access the table or view were not granted.

Action: Check the spelling of the table (or view) and column names; make sure the table and columns exist. If necessary, ask the DBA to grant the privileges required to access the table.

PLS-00418: array bind type must match PL/SQL table row type

Cause: A host array was passed (by an Oracle Precompiler program, for example) to a PL/SQL subprogram for binding to a PL/SQL table parameter. However, the datatypes of the array elements and PL/SQL table rows are incompatible. So, the binding failed.

Action: Change the datatype of the array elements or PL/SQL table rows to make the datatypes compatible.

PLS-00419: reference to remote attribute not permitted

Cause: An attempt was made to reference a remote cursor attribute, which is not allowed. For example, the code might look like IF SQL%NOTFOUND@newyork THEN ...

Action: Do not try to reference a remote cursor attribute.

PLS-00420: can"t call builtin routines remotely

Cause: An attempt was made to call a built-in PL/SQL function remotely, which is not allowed. For example, the code might look like my_sqlerrm := SQLERRM@newyork; or INSERT INTO emp VALUES (my_empno, STANDARD.RTRIM@newyork(my_ename), ...);

Action: Always call built-in functions locally; never specify a database link.

PLS-00421: circular synonym "string"

Cause: Directly or indirectly, a synonym was defined in terms of itself, creating a circular definition.

Action: Redefine the synonyms to eliminate the circular definition.

PLS-00422: no PL/SQL translation for the bindtype given for this bind variable

Cause: A host variable was passed (by an Oracle Precompiler program, for example) to PL/SQL for binding. However, its datatype is not compatible with any PL/SQL datatype. So, the binding failed.

Action: Change the datatype of the host variable to make it compatible with a PL/SQL datatype.

PLS-00423: ORDER BY item must be the number of a SELECT-list expression

Cause: A column alias was used in the ORDER BY clause of a SELECT statement that uses a UNION, INTERSECT, or MINUS set operator. This is not allowed. In such cases, expressions in the ORDER BY clause must be unsigned integers that designate the ordinal positions of select-list items.

Action: Change the alias in the ORDER BY clause to an unsigned integer that designates the ordinal position of the select item in question.

PLS-00424: RPC defaults cannot include Package State

Cause: An attempt was made to call a remote subprogram whose defaulted parameters depend on package state, which is not allowed. When calling remote subprograms, the actual parameters must be passed explicitly if the corresponding formal parameters depend on package state.

Action: Call the remote subprogram by passing each actual parameter explicitly.

PLS-00425: in SQL, function argument and return types must be SQL type

Cause: When a cursor variable was declared as the formal parameter of a

Action: Change the parameter mode from OUT to IN or IN OUT.

PLS-00427: RPC defaults cannot use builtins when versions of STANDARD differ

Cause: An attempt was made to call a remote subprogram whose defaulted parameter value is calculated using a builtin operation. If the calling system uses a different version of package STANDARD than does the called system, a defaulted expression must be either a simple numeric or string literal, NULL, or a direct call to a user-written function.

Action: Call the remote subprogram by passing each actual parameter value explicitly.

PLS-00428: an INTO clause is expected in this SELECT statement

Cause: The INTO clause of a SELECT INTO statement was omitted. For example, the code might look like SELECT deptno, dname, loc FROM dept WHERE ... instead of SELECT deptno, dname, loc INTO dept_rec FROM dept WHERE ... In PL/SQL, only a subquery is written without an INTO clause.

Action: Add the required INTO clause.

PLS-00429: unsupported feature with RETURNING clause

Cause:
- INTO clause and RETURNING clause cannot be use in the same statement

- RETURNING clause is currently not supported for object type columns, LONG columns, records, %rowtypes, remote tables and INSERT with subquery. This is as ORA-28815.

Action: Use separate select statement to get the values.

PLS-00430: FORALL iteration variable string is not allowed in this context

Cause: FORALL iteration variable can only be used as a subscript. It cannot be used directly or as a part of an expression.

Action: Use FORALL variable only as a collection subscript.

PLS-00431: bulk SQL attributes must use a single index

Cause: More than one index specified to access SQL bulk attribute.

Action: Use a single index of integer datatype.

PLS-00432: implementation restriction: cannot use FORALL and BULK COLLECT INTO together in SELECT statements

Cause: SELECT statement contains both the FORALL and BULK COLLECT INTO phrases.

Action: Dn not use FORALL and BULK COLLECT INTO together in SELECT statements.

PLS-00433: inconsistent package STANDARD

Cause: PL/SQL compiler could not find the entries (such as type declarations) that should exist in the package STANDARD.

Action: Make sure that the correct version of package STANDARD is available in the current Oracle database, then retry compilation.

PLS-00434: record field has unsupported type: "string"

Cause: An attempt was made to use an unsupported type for a record field. In this release, the use of the SQL92 datetime types (time, timestamp, time with time zone, timestamp with time zone, interval year to month, interval day to second) are not supported in record fields.

Action: Use only supported types for record fields.

PLS-00435: DML statement without BULK In-BIND cannot be used inside FORALL

Cause: The DML (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) statement inside the FORALL statement does not contain BULK IN-BIND variables.

Action: The DML (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) statement inside the FORALL statement must contain BULK IN-BIND variables.

PLS-00436: implementation restriction: cannot reference fields of BULK In-BIND table of records

Cause: table(bulk_index).field is not supported at run-time yet.

Action: Use FOR loop with plain FORALL DML statement (SELECT/INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE) instead

PLS-00437: FORALL bulk index cannot be used in string clause

Cause: RETURNING table(bulk_index) is not supported.

Action: Use RETURNING BULK COLLECT instead

PLS-00438: value in LIMIT clause: "string" use is invalid

Cause: The evaluation value in the LIMIT clause of a bulk fetch was found in an inappropriate context. For example, the following statement is illegal because the LIMIT clause in a bulk fetch expects a numeric value. FETCH c1 BULK COLLECT INTO var_tab LIMIT "22333"; -- illegal

Action: Change the expression of the LIMIT clause so that the evaluation result is compatible to a numeric value.

PLS-00439: A LIMIT clause must be used within a BULK FETCH

Cause: A LIMIT clause is used within a non-bulk fetch

Action: Do not use a LIMIT clause when a non-bulk fetch is used.

PLS-00450: a variable of this private type cannot be declared here

Cause: A variable declaration uses a type that is declared PRIVATE in some other compilation unit.

Action: Do not use this type in a PRIVATE variable declaration.

PLS-00452: Subprogram "string" violates its associated pragma

Cause: A packaged function cannot be called from SQL statements unless its purity level is asserted by coding a RESTRICT_REFERENCES pragma in the package specification. The pragma, which is used to control side effects, tells the PL/SQL compiler to deny the packaged function read/write access to database tables, public packaged variables, or both. A SQL statement that violates the pragma will cause a compilation error.

Action: Raise the purity level of the function, or relax the pragma restrictions.

PLS-00453: remote operations not permitted on object tables or user-defined type columns

Cause: A reference to a remote object tables or user-defined type column was found.

Action: Do not refer to it.

PLS-00454: with a returning into clause, the table expression cannot be remote or a subquery

Cause: A reference to a remote table or subquery was found in a sql statement with a returning into clause.

Action: Do not refer to it, or do use a subsequent select statement.

PLS-00455: cursor "string" cannot be used in dynamic SQL OPEN statement

Cause: dynamicly OPEN a REF CURSOR that has RETURN type. However, only REF CURSOR without RETURN type can be OPEN"ed by an embebded dynamic OPEN statement.

Action: define a REF CURSOR without return type, and use it in the statement.

PLS-00456: item "string" is not a cursor

Cause: the given variable is not a cursor and therefore cannot be OPEN"ed or FETCH"ed from.

Action: check the spelling and declaration for the given variable.

PLS-00457: expressions have to be of SQL types

Cause: an expression of wrong type is in USING or dynamic RETURNING clause. In USING or dynamic RETURNING clause, an expression cannot be of non-SQL types such as BOOLEAN, INDEX TABLE, and record.

Action: change the expression type to a SQL type.

PLS-00458: subprogram "string" cannot be called from a REPEATABLE subprogram

Cause: The subprogram is not REPEATABLE and cannot be called from a REPEATABLE subprogram.

Action: delete the call or delete REPEATABLE.

PLS-00459: this feature is not allowed in REPEATABLE subprogram

Cause: Having one of the followings feature in the REPEATABLE subprogram: dynamic SQL statements or autonomous transaction.

Action: delete the statements or delete REPEATABLE.

PLS-00460: REPEATABLE subprogram "string" has to be RNDS, WNDS, RNPS, and WNPS

Cause: Repeatable subprogram can neither read database state (RNDS), write database state (WNDS), read package state (RNPS), nor write package state (WNPS).

Action: make the subprogram to be RNDS, WNDS, RNPS, and WNPS or delete REPEATABLE

PLS-00461: mismatch REPEATABLE information between specification and body of "string"

Cause: REPEATABLE is declared at the subprogram"s specification, but not at its body, or vice versa.

Action: make sure both specification and body are declared as REPEATABLE

PLS-00462: nested subprogram "string" has to be REPEATABLE

Cause: the nested subprogram of a REPEATABLE subprogram is not declared as REPEATABLE. If a subprogram is REPEATABLE, all of its nested subprograms has to be declared as REPEATABLE.

Action: declared the nested subprogram as REPEATABLE

PLS-00483: exception "string" may appear in at most one exception handler in this block

Cause: An exception appears in two different WHEN clauses (that is, two different exception handlers) in the exception-handling part of a PL/SQL block or subprogram.

Action: Remove one of the references to the exception.

PLS-00484: redundant exceptions "string" and "string" must appear in same exception handler

Cause: Using the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma, different exceptions were initialized to the same Oracle error number; then, they were referenced in different exception handlers within the same exception-handling part. Such references conflict.

Action: Remove one of the exceptions or initialize it to a different Oracle error number.

PLS-00485: in exception handler, "string" must be an exception name

Cause: An identifier not declared as an exception appears in an exception handler WHEN clause. Only the name of an exception is valid in a WHEN clause.

Action: Check the spelling of the exception name and make sure the exception was declared properly.

PLS-00486: select list cannot be enclosed in parentheses

Cause: In a SELECT statement, the select list was enclosed in parentheses, as in: SELECT (deptno, dname, loc) FROM dept INTO ... This breaks the rules of SQL syntax. Parentheses are not required because the keywords SELECT and FROM delimit the select list.

Action: Remove the parentheses enclosing the select list.

PLS-00487: Invalid reference to variable "string"

Cause: A variable was referenced in a way that is inconsistent with its datatype. For example, a scalar variable might have been mistakenly referenced as a record, as follows: DECLARE CURSOR emp_cur IS SELECT empno, ename, sal FROM emp; emp_rec emp_cur%ROWTYPE; my_sal NUMBER(7,2); BEGIN ... total_sal := total_sal + my_sal.sal; -- invalid ...

Action: Check the spelling of the variable name. Make sure the variable was declared properly and that the declaration and reference are consistent regarding datatype.

PLS-00488: invalid variable declaration: object "string" must be a type or subtype

Cause: The datatype specifier in a variable declaration does not designate a legal type. For example, the %TYPE attribute might not have been added to a declaration, as in DECLARE my_sal emp.sal%TYPE; my_ename emp.ename; -- missing %TYPE ... When declaring a constant or variable, to provide the datatype of a column automatically, use the %TYPE attribute. Likewise, when declaring a record, to provide the datatypes of a row automatically, use the %ROWTYPE attribute.

Action: Make sure the datatype specifier designates a legal type. Remember to use the %TYPE and %ROWTYPE attributes when necessary.

PLS-00489: invalid table reference: "string" must be a column in this expression

Cause: In a query, a select-list item refers to a table in the FROM clause but not to a database column.

Action: Check the spelling of the column names, make sure each column in the select list refers to a table in the FROM clause, then re-execute the query.

PLS-00490: illegal statement

Cause: A constant, variable, function call, or incomplete statement was used where a statement was expected. For example, instead of calling a function from an expression, it might have been called as a statement (as if it were a procedure).

Action: Check the statement, making sure that its commands, identifiers, operators, delimiters, and terminator form a complete and valid PL/SQL statement.

PLS-00491: numeric literal required

Cause: A constant or variable was used where a numeric literal is required. For example, the code might look like my_ename VARCHAR2(max_len); instead of my_ename VARCHAR2(15); When specifying the maximum length of a VARCHAR2 variable, an integer literal must be used.

Action: Replace the identifier with a numeric literal.

PLS-00492: variable or constant initialization may not refer to functions declared in the same package

Cause: If a package spec p declares a function f, that function may not be used in any variable declarations in that same package spec. This is because of a circular instantiation problem: in order to fully instantiate the package spec, the variable must be initialized. To initialize the variable, the function body code in the package body must be executed. That requires that the package body be instantiated. However, the package body cannot be instantiated until the package spec is fully instantiated.

Action: Remove the reference to the function from the variable initialization. A technique which often works is to move the variable initialization from the variable declaration (in the package spec) to the package body initialization block.

PLS-00493: invalid reference to a server-side object or function in a local context

Cause: A reference to a server-side object (e.g. a table column) or function (a group function such as SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, ... ) was found in a context where only PL/SQL objects may be present (such as within the parameter list of a local function or as the index of a (local) PL/SQL table.)

Action: Rewrite the offending statement; or (if a local function call is the problem context), make the function non-local (either packaged or top- level.)

PLS-00494: coercion into multiple record targets not supported

Cause: The INTO list of a SELECT or FETCH specified more than a single record- type target and the column types required coercion into a record to match the INTO list. This is type checked as correct, but not yet supported.

Action: Create a new record type to hold all of the column types or code the SELECT with an INTO target for every source column.

PLS-00495: too many columns in SELECT...INTO statement after bursting record targets

Cause: Type checking indicated the columns in a SELECT or FETCH were being collected into a record in the INTO list. The record was burst into its fields. There were not enough fields in the record for each of the columns.

Action: Change the number of columns or the record variable(s) in the INTO clause so that they match.

PLS-00496: too few columns in SELECT...INTO statement after bursting record targets

Cause: Type checking indicated the columns in a SELECT or FETCH were being collected into a record in the INTO list. The record was burst into its fields. There were not enough columns to fill all of the fields in the record.

Action: Change the number of columns or the record variable(s) in the INTO clause so that they match.

PLS-00497: cannot mix between single row and multi-row (BULK) in INTO list

Cause: - When BULK syntax (e.g. BULK COLLECT INTO) is used to retrieve data, every variable in the INTO list has to be of type that is a collection of the type of the corresponding column.
- When BULK is NOT used, every variable in the INTO list has to be of compatible type with the corresponding column.

Action: Change the INTO list so that all variables have correct data types

PLS-00498: illegal use of a type before its declaration

Cause: A variable or constant was declared to be of a type whose declaration appears later in the compilation unit; or, a type or subtype was declared in terms of another type whose declaration appears later in the compilation unit.

Action: Ensure that the type declaration preceeds its use in the variable/ constant/type declaration.

PLS-00499: coercion into collection of records not supported

Cause: A SELECT or FETCH may specify a column list to be coerced into a variable which is a collection of records. This is type checked as correct, but not yet supported because of the implicit layout change required.

Action: Express the SELECT with an object constructor around the columns and use a collection of objects as an INTO variable. Or, build the collection one row at a time coercing each row into a record which happens to be an element. Or, use a record of collections.

PLS-00500: invalid operator binding

Cause: An operator binding fucntion cannot be found in the specified scope.

Action: Provide the correct number and types of parameters for the operator binding fucntion. Or, specify the correct names for schema, package, or type containing the operator binding fucntion.

PLS-00503: RETURN <value> statement required for this return from function

Cause: In a function body, a RETURN statement was used that contains no expression. In procedures, a RETURN statement contains no expression because the statement simply returns control to the caller. However, in functions, a RETURN statement must contain an expression because its value is assigned to the function identifier.

Action: Add an expression to the RETURN statement.

PLS-00504: type string_BASE may not be used outside of package STANDARD

Cause: In a declaration, the datatype NUMBER_BASE (for example) was mistakenly specified. The datatypes CHAR_BASE, DATE_BASE, MLSLABEL_BASE, and NUMBER_BASE are for internal use only.

Action: Specify (for example) the datatype NUMBER instead of NUMBER_BASE.

PLS-00505: User Defined Types may only be defined as PLSQL Tables or Records

Cause: An attempt was made to define a type other than TABLE or RECORD, but these are the only user- defined types allowed in this release of PL/SQL. For example, the following type definition is illegal: TYPE Byte IS INTEGER(2); -- illegal

Action: Remove the type definition, or revise it to specify a TABLE or RECORD type.

PLS-00506: User Defined Constrained Subtypes are disallowed

Cause: An attempt was made to define a constrained subtype, but only unconstrained subtypes are allowed in this release of PL/SQL. For example, the following type definition is illegal: SUBTYPE Acronym IS VARCHAR2(5); -- illegal

Action: Remove the illegal type constraint.

PLS-00507: a PLSQL Table may not contain a table or a record with composite fields

Cause: In a TABLE type definition, a nested record type was specified as the element type. This is not allowed. All fields in the record must be scalars.

Action: Remove the TABLE type definition, or replace the nested record type with a simple record type.

PLS-00508: The expression in a RETURN statement cannot be a type

Cause: A datatype specifier was used instead of an expression in the RETURN statement of a user-defined function, as shown in the example below. Do not confuse the RETURN statement, which sets the function identifier to the result value, with the RETURN clause, which specifies the datatype of the result value. FUNCTION credit-rating (acct_no NUMBER) RETURN BOOLEAN IS BEGIN ... RETURN NUMBER; -- should be an expression END;

Action: Replace the datatype specifier in the RETURN statement with an appropriate expression.

PLS-00509: Implementation Restriction : Pass a returned record to a temporary identifier before selecting a field

Cause: Illegal syntax was used to call a parameter-less function that returns a record or a PL/SQL table of records. When calling a function that takes parameters and returns a record, you use the following syntax to reference fields in the record: function_name(parameters).field_name However, you cannot use the syntax above to call a parameter-less function because PL/SQL does not allow empty parameter lists. That is, the following syntax is illegal: function_name().field_name -- illegal; empty parameter list You cannot just drop the empty parameter list because the following syntax is also illegal: function_name.field_name -- illegal; no parameter list.

Action: Declare a local record or PL/SQL table of records to which you can assign the function result, then reference its fields directly.

PLS-00510: Float cannot have scale

Cause: When a FLOAT variable was declared, its precision and scale were specified, as shown in the following example: DECLARE Salary FLOAT(7,2); However, a scale for FLOAT variables cannot be specified; only a precision can be specified, as in salary FLOAT(7);

Action: Remove the scale specifier from the declaration, or declare a NUMBER variable instead.

PLS-00511: a record may not contain a PL/SQL table of records

Cause: n a RECORD definition, one of the fields was declared as a PL/SQL table of records. This is not allowed. A record can be the component of another record (that is, records can be nested), but a PL/SQL table of records cannot be the component of a record.

Action: Remove the field declaration, or revise it to specify a simple record type.

PLS-00512: Implementation Restriction: "string": Cannot directly access remote package variable or cursor

Cause: An attempt was made to reference a remote packaged variable or cursor. This is not allowed. Instead, add to the remote package a function that returns the value of the variable or cursor.

Action: Remove the illegal reference.

PLS-00513: PL/SQL function called from SQL must return value of legal SQL type

Cause: In a SQL statement, do not call a PL/SQL function having a return type that can not be handled by SQL. For example, type BOOLIAN, records and indexed-tables are not supported by SQL and functions returneing such values can not be called from SQL.

Action: none

PLS-00514: INSERT statement with REF INTO clause requires a typed table

Cause: This INSERT statement provides REF INTO clause, which is only legal when the table specified in the INTO clause is an object table.

Action: none

PLS-00515: The type of the REF INTO variable "string" must be REF to the table"s type

Cause: In INSERT statement with REF INTO clause, the type of the data item must be REF to the type of the table used in INTO clause.

Action: none

PLS-00516: Type mismatch between object table and value "string" in INSERT statement.

Cause: In the INSERT statement operating on typed tables (tables of objects), the type of a non-aggregate value did not match the object type of the table.

Action: none

PLS-00517: Type mismatch between a select list element "string" and corresponding table column in INSERT statement with a subquery

Cause: In an INSERT statement with subquery, at lease one of the elements of the select list was not type-compatible with the corresponding column of the table in the INTO clause. This error indicates that the subquery should be rewritten to match the structure of the target table.

Action: none

PLS-00518: This INSERT statement requires VALUES clause containing a parenthesised list of values

Cause: A VALUES clause was entered without a list of SQL data items in parentheses. In all INSERT statements with an explicit column list, the VALUES clause must contain a list of SQL data items in parentheses. For example: INSERT INTO my_tab (a,b,c) VALUES (1,2,my_variable);

Action: Rewrite the statement to include a list of SQL data items in parentheses.

PLS-00519: This INSERT statement requires a VALUES clause containing an object type expression, not a list of values

Cause: In an INSERT statement with typed tables, an aggregate was used when an object type item was expected.

Action: Replace the aggregate with an object constructor or other object type expression.

PLS-00520: MAP methods must be declared without any parameters other than (optional) SELF.

Cause: A MAP member function was declared with a parameter. Map member functions can have only one parameter: the default SELF parameter. Map methods must be declared without any parameters. The compiler adds the SELF parameter.

Action: Remove the parameter from the map member function.

PLS-00521: ORDER methods must be declared with 1 (one) parameter in addition to (optional) SELF.

Cause: An order member function was declared without the user-specified parameter. Order member functions have two parameters, one is the default SELF parameter which is added by the compiler. the second parameter is added by the user and must declare an order method which must be the same type as the containing object type.

Action: Check and correct the way the parameter is specified.

PLS-00522: MAP methods must return a scalar type.

Cause: The MAP member function was written such that it returns something other than a scalar type.

Action: Rewrite the MAP function such that it returns a scalar type.

PLS-00523: ORDER methods must return an INTEGER.

Cause: An order member function was written such that it returns something other than an integer type.

Action: Rewrite the ORDER method such that it returns an integer type.

PLS-00524: The parameter type in an ORDER method must be the containing object type.

Cause: An order member function was declared without the user- specified parameter. Order member functions have two parameters, one is the default SELF parameter which is added by the compiler. the second parameter is added by the user and must declare an order method which must be the same type as the containing object type.

Action: Check and correct the way the parameter is specified.

PLS-00525: Within SQL statements, only equality comparisons of objects are allowed without a map or order function.

Cause: A map or order function was not provided for a relational comparison. Only equality comparisons may be used when a map or order function is not supplied.

Action: Supply either a map or order function for the object. Otherwise change the program to use only equality comparisons.

PLS-00526: A MAP or ORDER function is required for comparing objects in PL/SQL.

Cause: Within stand alone PL/SQL, an attempt was made to compare objects without a map or order function.

Action: Provide a map or order function and retry the operation.

PLS-00527: MAP or ORDER functions require a PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES specifying :WNDS,WNPS,RNPS,RNDS.

Cause: Either a PRAGMA RESTRICT_REFERENCES was not specified or it was specified without one of the following: WNDS, WNPS, RNPS, or RNDS.

Action: Add or correct the PRAGMA and retry the operation.

PLS-00528: The parameters to an ORDER function must have IN mode

Cause: You declared parameter to an ORDER function to have OUT or IN OUT mode.

Action: Correct the parameter to use IN mode only.

PLS-00529: Bad column name string in INSERT statement (must be an identifier)

Cause: In an INSERT statement, an attempt was made to use a column name that is not an identifier. In any INSERT statement with explicit column list a column name must be a simple identifier.

Action: Rewrite the INSERT statement, using a simple identifier for the column name.

PLS-00530: Illegal type used for object type attribute: "string".

Cause: An attempt was made to use an invalid type for an object type attribute.

Action: Use only supported types for the object type attribute.

PLS-00531: Unsupported type in a VARRAY or TABLE type: "string".

Cause: An attempt was made to use an unsupported type in a VARRAY or TABLE type.

Action: Use only supported types in a VARRAY or TABLE type.

PLS-00532: Target of REF must be a complete or incomplete object type.

Cause: The target of a REF can only be a complete or an incomplete object type.

Action: If a REF is to be used, change the type; otherwise, remove the REF.

PLS-00533: Tables of non_queryable types are not supported.

Cause: An attempt was made to create a table of a type which cannot be queried. Tables of such types are not supported.

Action: Create an object type containing the non-queryable type. Then create a table of the object type.

PLS-00534: A Table type may not contain a nested table type or VARRAY.

Cause: An attempt was made to do one of the following: define a table type which contained nested collection types. or define an object table that has (perhaps nested) another table type or VARRAY type.

Action: Check the table definitions to be sure that they do not contain nested tables or VARRAYs.

PLS-00535: A VARRAY type may not contain a NESTED TABLE, VARRAY or LOB

Cause: An attempt was made to do one of the following: define a VARRAY type containing a nested collection type or LOB or define a VARRAY type of an object type that has a nested attribute which is one of NESTED TABLE, VARRAY or LOB type.

Action: Check the VARRAY definitions to be sure that they do not contain nested colection types, LOBs or nested attributes.

PLS-00536: Navigation through REF variables is not supported in PL/SQL.

Cause: The expression of the form refvar.field was entered. This is not supported in PL/SQL, ver 8.0.

Action: none

PLS-00537: A VARRAY must have a positive limit

Cause: A VARRAY type was declared with a non-positive limit, for example VARRAY(0).

Action: Declare the VARRAY with a positive limit and retry the operation.

PLS-00538: subprogram or cursor "string" is declared in an object type specification and must be defined in the object type body

Cause: The specified subprogram is declared in an object type"s specification, but is not defined in the object type body.

Action: Define the subprogram in the object type body, or remove the declaration from the specification.

PLS-00539: subprogram "string" is declared in an object type body and must be defined in the object type specification

Cause: The specified subprogram is declared in an object type"s body, but is not defined in the object type"s specification. Notice cursor bodies can exist without a specification.

Action: Define the subprogram in the object type"s specification, or remove the declaration from the body.

PLS-00540: object not supported in this context.

Cause: An object was declared inside a local scope (Function, Procedure, or anonymous block), or in a package scope which is not supported.

Action: Declare the type in a global or data base scope.

PLS-00541: size or length specified is too large.

Cause: A length or size that is too large was specified for a data item.

Action: Specify a smaller value and retry the operation.

PLS-00542: CLOB and NCLOB cannot use varying-width character sets in the server

Cause: A server type is being created with an embedded CLOB or NCLOB atttribute which uses a varying-width character set.

Action: Use VARCHAR2 instead of CLOB, or use a fixed-width character set.

PLS-00543: a PLSQL Table may not contain a nested table type or VARRAY.

Cause: An attempt was made to define a PLSQL table that contained a (possibly deeply) nested table type or VARRAY. Nested collection types are not supported.

Action: Remove the nested table type or VARRAY from the table. Then retry the operation.

PLS-00546: SELF may not be declared as a REF parameter.

Cause: SELF was declared as a ref parameter to a member function or procedure. SELF is not supported as a REF.

Action: Redeclare SELF as a value parameter.

PLS-00548: invalid use of operator.

Cause: A name of an operator is used as a qualifier or appears outside from sql context.

Action: Eliminate the use of operator name as a qualifier or place it in a sql clause.

PLS-00550: character set specification is not allowed for this type

Cause: A character set specification was made on a type that does not require one.

Action: Remove the character set specification, or change the type.

PLS-00551: character set ANY_CS is only allowed on a subprogram parameter

Cause: The character set ANY_CS was specified when it is not allowed.

Action: Change or remove the character set specification.

PLS-00552: flexible character set is not allowed on component element

Cause: ANY_CS or %CHARSET was used to reference an ANY_CS parameter which is not a CHAR, VARCHAR2, or CLOB type. ANY_CS or %CHARSET is not allowed for fields of a record , object, elements of a collection, etc.

Action: Change or remove the character set specification.

PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized

Cause: An unrecognized name appears in a character set specification.

Action: Change or remove the character set specification.

PLS-00554: character set has already been determined

Cause: A redundant or conflicting character set was specified.

Action: Remove the CHARACTER SET specification, or change the character set specified.

PLS-00555: default expressions are not allowed for SQL operators

Cause: A default expression has been specified for a SQL operator.

Action: Eliminate the default expression from the operator.

PLS-00560: character set mismatch

Cause: An expression was used that has the wrong character set for this context.

Action: Adjust the expression, using TRANSLATE(... USING ...) or by rethinking the logic.

PLS-00561: character set mismatch on value for parameter "string"

Cause: An expression was used that contains an incorrect character set. The actual argument has a character set conflict. If a default argument value is being used, it might be in conflict with some actual argument that must have the same character set.

Action: Adjust the expression, using TRANSLATE(... USING ...) or change the character set.

PLS-00562: a function must return a type.

Cause: The current function was definied to return something other than a data type.

Action: Make sure the function is returning a data type.

PLS-00563: illegal use of CAST expression

Cause: CAST (in PLSQL) was used outside of a DML scope.

Action: Do not use CAST outside DML statements.

PLS-00564: lob arguments are not permitted in calls to remote server

Cause: use of lob argument in call to remote server

Action: Do not use LOBs in call to remote server

PLS-00565: %s must be completed as a potential REF target (object type)

Cause: Incomplete library units that are potential targets of REF dependencies must be completed so that they continue to remain potential targets of REF dependencies (since there might be library units with REF dependencies on this library unit). Potential REF targets include complete and incomplete object types. This error happened because an attempt was made to complete a potential REF target as something other than a potential REF target.

Action: Use another name for this library unit, or drop the original incomplete library unit.

PLS-00566: type name "string" cannot be constrained

Cause: A lob, date, boolean, rowid, or mlslabel type was constrained with a length specification. For example: X BLOB(5);

Action: Remove the constraint.

PLS-00567: cannot pass NULL to a NOT NULL constrained formal parameter

Cause: You attempted to pass NULL to a NOT NULL constrained parameter.

Action: Pass a NOT NULL expression instead.

PLS-00568: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item

Cause: You attempted to use TABLE expression, from a non-nested table

Action: pass the correct parameter

PLS-00569: numeric overflow or underflow

Cause: A constant literal is either too large or too small to fit in an Oracle number

Action: Change the value of the literal

PLS-00570: different number of columns in the multiset and cast expressions

Cause: Number of columns in the collection returned by MULTISET and the number of columns for the CAST type don"t match. For example: create type tab_obj as object (n number); create type tab1 as table of tab_obj; create table tab2 (col1 number, col2 number); select CAST(MULTISET(select col1, col2 from tab2) as tab1) from tab2;

Action: none

PLS-00571: method access through data base link not yet supported on client side

Cause: Remote link is used with on client side

Action: Create a dummy function to call symbolic link on server side or wiat till it is implemented

PLS-00572: improper constraint form used

Cause: "number" types cannot have a range. user-defined aggregate types and integer types cannot have scale or precision specified. Example: "x number(5,3)" is acceptable but "x number range 1..10" is not.

Action: Remove the constraint

PLS-00573: cannot constrain scale, precision, or range of an anchored type declaration

Cause: A variable declared with %TYPE or %ROWTYPE cannot have a scale, precision, or range constraint. Example: x y%TYPE(10) is not acceptable. It is legal to add "NOT NULL" or non-conflicting CHARACTER SET constraints to anchored type declarations.

Action: Remove the constraint or use a type name instead of an anchored type.

PLS-00580: supertype must be an object type

Cause: An attempt was made to declare an object type to have a supertype, but the specified supertype was not itself an object type. Object types can inherit only from other object types.

Action: Remove the supertype specification, or change it to refer to an object type. If the declaration appears correct, make sure the supertype has compiled correctly.

PLS-00581: inheritance is not supported for opaque types

Cause: An attempt was made to declare an opaque type with a supertype.

Action: Remove the supertype specification.

PLS-00582: attribute declarations are not allowed in opaque types

Cause: An attempt was made to declare an attribute in an opaque type.

Action: Remove the attribute declaration.

PLS-00583: size must be specified if opaque type is fixed-length

Cause: An attempt was made to declare a fixed-length opaque type without specifying an explicit size.

Action: Specify an explicit size, or change the declaration to be varying-length.

PLS-00584: size of an opaque type must be between 1 and 4000 bytes

Cause: An attempt was made to specify an explicit size for an opaque type, but the specified size was out of the valid range.

Action: Change the explicit size to be between 1 and 4000 bytes, or change the declaration to be varying-length without an explicit size.

PLS-00585: declared support library for opaque type is not a library

Cause: An attempt was made to name a support library for an opaque type, but the name refers to an object that is not a library.

Action: Change the declaration to name a valid library.

PLS-00586: a static method cannot declare a parameter named SELF

Cause: An attempt was made to name a parameter SELF when declaring a static method. SELF is reserved as a parameter name in methods, to hold the object instance on which the method is applied. A parameter named SELF is not allowed in static methods because static methods do not apply to a particular object instance.

Action: Change the name of the parameter in the declaration.

PLS-00587: a static method cannot be invoked on an instance value

Cause: An attempt was made to use an object instance value, not a typename, as the qualifier of the name of a method invocation, but only a typename can be used as the qualifier when calling a static method.

Action: Use the typename, not an object instance value, to qualify the name of a method if the method is static.

PLS-00588: unqualified instance attribute references allowed only in member methods

Cause: An attempt was made to use the name of an object instance attribute in the body of a static method, or in an initialization default value on another attribute. If the instance attribute is not qualified with a particular object instance that supplies a value, the instance attribute can be named only when it is inside a member method.

Action: Qualify the attribute reference with the name of an object value, or change the containing method to a member method rather than a static method.

PLS-00589: no attributes found in object type "string"

Cause: Table of non adt type is defined.

Action: Table of type should be of ADT type only

PLS-00590: attempting to create a subtype UNDER a FINAL type

Cause: An attempt was made to create a subtype UNDER a FINAL type.

Action: Avoid deriving a subtype from this FINAL type.

PLS-00591: this feature is not supported in client-side programs

Cause: One of the following features was used in a wrong context: pragma AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION, dynamic SQL statements, (e.g. EXECUTE IMMEDIATE), and bulk binds. These listed features can only be used in server-side programs but not client-side programs.

Cause: One of the functions, such as AVG, COUNT, MAX, MIN, SUM, STDDEV or VARIANCE, was used in a WHERE or GROUP BY clause

Action: Remove the group function from the WHERE or GROUP BY clause. The desired result may be achieved by including the function in a subquery or HAVING clause.

PLS-00605: set operators are not yet supported as an argument to a MULTISET operator

Cause: A set operator was used in a subquery that was the argument to a MULTISET operator.

Action: Rewrite your SQL statement so that it does not use a set operator in the subquery that is the argument to the MULTISET operator.

PLS-00606: cursor subquery is not supported on client side in this release

Cause: A query that contains a cursor subquery is being used from client side.

Action: Use this feature from serevr side only.

Cause: You are trying to use more than one values in VALUES clause or RETURNING INTO clause, when one of the value is of record type..

Action: Specify only one variable of record type, or don"t use variables of record type.

PLS-00614: creating a FINAL NOT INSTANTIABLE type

Cause: An attempt was made to create a FINAL NOT INSTANTIABLE type. No useful operation can be performed with this type.

Action: Avoid using the keywords FINAL and NOT INSTANTIABLE together when creating types.

PLS-00615: type mismatch found at "string" between CASE operand and WHEN operands

Cause: In a simple CASE statement or expression, the CASE operand and WHEN operands do not match in datatype, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

- A collection of records must not contain a record type as one of its attributes.

Action: Specify a supported collection type as the pipelined function return type.

PLS-00631: PARTITION-BY and CLUSTER/ORDER-BY clauses must be used with the same function argument

Cause: PARTITION-BY and CLUSTER/ORDER-BY clauses are specified on different function arguments.

Action: Use the same argument in both PARITITON-BY and CLUSTER/ORDER-BY clauses.

PLS-00632: NOT INSTANTIABLE method cannot have a body

Cause: An attempt was made to provide an implementation for a NOT INSTANTIABLE method.

Action: Remove the implementation for the NOT INSTATIABLE method.

PLS-00633: RETURN statement in a pipelined function cannot contain an expression

Cause: A RETURN statement in a pipelined function contains an expression, which is not allowed. Pipelined functions must send back values to the caller by using the PIPE statement.

Action: Remove the expression from the RETURN statement and use a PIPE statement to return values. Else, convert the function into a non-pipelined function.

PLS-00634: type with NOT INSTANTIABLE methods must be declared NOT INSTANTIABLE

Cause: The type being created contains NOT INSTANTIABLE methods, either declared or inherited. The type must be explicitly declared NOT INSTANTIABLE

Action: Explicitly specify the NOT INSTANTIABLE keyword or provide implementations for all the NOT INSTANTIABLE methods.

Cause: In a CASE expression, the result expressions do not match in character set, and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the result expressions so that their character sets match.

PLS-00645: character set mismatch found at "string" among operands in a COALESCE expression

Cause: In a COALESCE expression, the operands do not match in character set and it is unclear which implicit conversion is required to correct the mismatch.

Action: Change the operands so that their character sets match.

PLS-00646: MAP or ORDER method must be defined in the root of the subtype hierarchy

Cause: An attempt was made to define a MAP or ORDER method in a subtype.

Action: Define the MAP or ORDER method in the root of the subtype hierarchy. You can override MAP methods in subtypes.

PLS-00647: attribute by name "string" conflicts with method by same name

Cause: While creating a subtype some attribute name conflicted with a method name.

Action: Use a different name for attribute or method in the type being created.

PLS-00648: type of supertype attribute "string" can not be a subtype or reference to a subtype in this release

Cause: User tried to complete a type, Tsub as a subtype of another type, Tsuper where Tsuper contained an attribute of type Tsub or of type REF to Tsub. This is an implementation restriction.

Action: Change the design of code to not use any type with attribute whose type is of subtype or REF to subtype.

PLS-00649: method "string" can be overridden only once per object type

Cause: User tried to override the method more than once in the same subtype.

Action: Either make this an extra overload by removing the OVERRIDING keyword where the method signature is different. The argument types should be reconsidered otherwise.

PLS-00650: invalid type for PARTITION/CLUSTER/ORDER BY clause

Cause: Uer tried to use invalid type for PARTITION/CLUSTER?ORDER BY clause.

Action: Use legal allowed types.

PLS-00651: implementation type in Aggregate/Table function should be a valid type

Cause: User tried to use some other database object like a package to define implementation type of an aggregate/table function.

Action: Use a valid user defined type as implementation type.

PLS-00652: aggregate functions should have exactly one argument

Cause: User tried to create aggregate function with either 0 or more than one arguments.

Cause: User tried to use a table/aggregate function in PL/SQL scope.

Action: Do not use table/aggregate function in PL/SQL scope.

PLS-00654: PARTITION/ORDER/CLUSTER BY are allowed for only with PARALLEL_ENABLE

Cause: User tried partion by order by cluster by without parallel enable clause in table function.

Action: specify parallel enable also when using partion by, cluster by order by clause.

PLS-00655: only functions can be declared as PIPELINED

Cause: user is trying to declare a procedure to be pipeliend function

Action: declare a function instead of a procedure to be a pipelined function

PLS-00656: field "string" not available in input argument

Cause: An EXTRACT operation specified a field that was not present. For example, you tried to extract the YEAR field from a TIME variable.

Action: Specify a legal field in the call to EXTRACT.

PLS-00657: Implementation restriction: bulk SQL with associative arrays with VARCHAR2 key is not supported.

Cause: Variable or expression of associative array type was used as bulk SQL bind or define.

Action: Use colleciton types supported by bulk SQL.

Action: Create the object as an external object.

PLS-00663: the NEW keyword is not allowed in this context

Cause: The NEW keyword is not followed by an call to a constructor method.

Action: Remove the NEW keyword, or make sure the expression following it is a constructor call.

PLS-00664: Both ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY can not be specified for the same table function

Cause: An attempt was made to specify both ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY for the same table function.

Action: specify either ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY for a table function, but not both.

PLS-00665: ORDER BY and CLUSTER BY clauses require a PARTITION BY clause

Cause: An attempt was made to specify an ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY clause without also specifying a PARTITION BY clause.

Action: Add a PARTITION BY clause, or remove the ORDER BY or CLUSTER BY clause.

PLS-00666: Only index by binary_integer/pls_integer associative arrays allowed here

Cause: An attempt was made to specify index collection that was not indexed by binary_integer or pls_integer.

Action: Change the index collection variable type to associative array that is indexed by binary_integer or pls_integer.

PLS-00667: Element type of associative array should be pls_integer or binary_integer

Cause: An attempt was made to specify index collection whos element type was not one of pls_integer or binary_integer.

Action: Change the index collection variable type to associative array whose element type is pls_integer or binary_integer.

PLS-00668: Type of expression should be a collection type

Cause: An attempt was made to specify expression after INDICES OF or VALUES OF clause whose type is not a collection type.

Action: Change the index collection expression type to a valid collection type.

PLS-00670: sort columns must be simple column names

Cause: An attempt was made to specify an expression as a sort column in a PARTITION BY, CLUSTER BY or ORDER BY clause. Only simple column names are permitted.

Action: Specify a simple column name.

PLS-00700: PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT of string must follow declaration of its exception in the same declarative part

Cause: An EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was not declared in the same block as its exception. They must be declared in the proper order in the same block, with the pragma declaration following the exception declaration.

Action: Place the EXCEPTION_INIT pragma directly after the exception declaration referenced by the pragma.

PLS-00701: illegal ORACLE error number string for PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT

Cause: The error number passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was out of range. The error number must be in the range -9999 .. -1 (excluding -100) for Oracle errors or in the range -20000 .. -20999 for user-defined errors.

Action: Use a valid error number.

PLS-00702: second argument to PRAGMA EXCEPTION_INIT must be a numeric literal

Cause: The second argument passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma was something other than a numeric literal (a variable, for example). The second argument must be a numeric literal in the range -9999 .. -1 (excluding -100) for Oracle errors or in the range -20000 .. -20999 for user-defined errors.

Action: Replace the second argument with a valid error number.

PLS-00703: multiple instances of named argument in list

Cause: Two or more actual parameters in a subprogram call refer to the same formal parameter.

Action: Remove the duplicate actual parameter.

PLS-00704: "string" must be declared as an exception

Cause: The exception_name parameter passed to an EXCEPTION_INIT pragma is misspelled or does not refer to a legally declared exception. Or, the pragma is misplaced; it must appear in the same declarative section, somewhere after the exception declaration.

Action: Check the spelling of the exception_name parameter. Then, check the exception declaration, making sure the exception name and the keyword EXCEPTION are spelled correctly. Also make sure the pragma appears in the same declarative section somewhere after the exception declaration.

PLS-00705: exception "string" used in expression requiring return type

Cause: An exception was referred to in an expression. Exceptions have names but not values and therefore cannot contribute values to an expression. For example, the following RETURN statement is illegal: FUNCTION credit_limit (cust_no INTEGER) RETURN NUMBER IS limit NUMBER; over_limit EXCEPTION; ... BEGIN ... RETURN over_limit; -- illegal END;

Action: Check the spelling of the identifiers in the expression, then rewrite the expression so that it does not refer to an exception.

PLS-00706: Exception string cannot be used as prefix of a selected component

Cause: An exception name was mistakenly used to qualify a reference to a component. For example, when dot notation was used to specify fields within a record, an exception name might have been coded instead of the record name.

Action: Rewrite the component reference using a valid prefix (for example, the name of a package, record, or schema).

PLS-00707: unsupported construct or internal error [string]

Cause: At run time, this is an internal error. At compile time, it indicates one of the following problems: -- A call was made to a remote subprogram that has a parameter type or default expression not supported at the calling site. -- An incomplete upgrade or downgrade was done to a database that has stored procedures. Perhaps incorrect versions of system packages such as STANDARD.SQL were installed. -- A compiler bug was encountered. In such cases, legal PL/SQL syntax will fail to compile.

Action: Either report the internal error to your Customer Support representative or, depending on the problem, take one of the following actions: -- Revise the logic of the application to use parameter types and default expressions that are supported at both the local and remote sites. -- Complete the upgrade or downgrade properly, making sure to install correct versions of all system packages. -- Report the legal-syntax error to your Customer Support representative. If there are line and column numbers displayed with the error message, they might help you find a workaround. For example, try recoding the offending line to avoid the bug.

PLS-00708: Pragma string must be declared in a package specification

Cause: The named pragma was not declared in a package specification, as required. For example, the pragma RESTRICT_REFERENCES must be declared in a package specification.

Action: Remove or relocate the misplaced pragma.

PLS-00709: pragma string must be declared in package specification and body

Cause: The named pragma was declared in a package specification but not in the corresponding package body or vice-versa, as well as the package body.

Action: Add the pragma to that part of the package declaration that does not have the pragma.

PLS-00710: PRAGMA string cannot be specified here

Cause: The PRAGMA was specified in an inappropriate context.

Action: Remove or relocate the misplaced pragma. Check the documentation to determine the correct context for this pragma.

PLS-00711: PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION cannot be declared twice

Cause: The PRAGMA was declared twice in the same block.

Action: remove the duplicate declaration of the PRAGMA

PLS-00712: illegal option for subprogram string

Cause: Only top level subprograms or subprogram declarations in PACKAGE or TYPE specifications are allowed to have the options DETERMINISTIC or PARALLEL_ENABLE. For example, this error would be raised if the options are used in PACKAGE or TYPE body.

Action: remove the option.

PLS-00713: attempting to instantiate a type that is NOT INSTANTIABLE

Cause: An attempt was made to instantiate a type that is defined as NOT INSTANTIABLE.

Action: Avoid instantiating variables of this NOT INSTANTIABLE type, instead derive an INSTANTIABLE subtype from it and instantiate variables of the subtype.

PLS-00714: supertypes"s AUTHID is DEFINER but supertype and subtype are not in same schema

Cause: The supertype"s AUTHID is DEFINER, but the supertype and subtype are defined in different schemas. SQL statements executed in dynamically dispatched methods can potentially pick up different values from database tables in the two schemas.

Action: Create the subtype in the same schema as the supertype.

PLS-00715: attribute or method by name "string" does not exist

Cause: An attempt was made to drop a nonexistant method or attribute from the type being altered.

Action: Check the spelling of the attribute or method name. Make sure it is locally defined in the type and not inherited.

PLS-00716: Attribute/method "string" can occur only once in an ALTER TYPE statement

Cause: User attempted more than one of ADD, DROP or MODIFY on an attribute in single ALTER TYPE statement. User attempted more than one of ADD or DROP on a method in single ALTER TYPE statement.

Action: Do only one ADD, DROP or MODIFY for an attribute in single ALTER TYPE statement. Do only one ADD or DROP for a method in single ALTER TYPE statement.

PLS-00717: method "string" does not have matching signature among existing methods

Cause: The method to be dropped matches the name of some existing method but does not match it in signature.

Action: Make sure that a matching method signature is provided for dropping a method.

PLS-00718: type of attribute "string" does not allow modifications to the attribute

Cause: The type of the attribute to modify is not one of VARCHAR2, NUMBER, or RAW.

Action: Only VARCHAR2, NUMBER and RAW type attributes are allowed to be modified.

PLS-00719: only widening of attribute "string" constraints is allowed

Cause: Modification to the attribute did not widen its constraints or attempted to change the type of the attribute. For NUMBER type attributes, scale and precision can be changed to allow increase in number of digits after and before the decimal point. For VARCHAR2 and RAW type attributes the size can be increased. Other type attributes are not allowed to be modified. Change of type of attribute is also not allowed.

Action: Change the constraint specification so as to widen the existing constraints.To narrow the constraints or to change the type of the attribute, you must drop the attribute and add it with new constraints or new type. In that case you must also take appropriate steps to preserve your existing data based on the type (if you want to preserve it).Typically this will involve backing up the data and restoring it after the ALTER TYPE.

PLS-00720: type "string" has evolved

Cause: The type has evolved. The version of the type used by the compiled code is not the same as the latest version of the type.

Action: Recompile the code to use the latest version of the type.

PLS-00721: "string" formed a non-REF mutually-dependent cycle with "string"

Cause: This compilation was aborted because the library unit that was compiled would have formed a non-REF mutually-dependent cycle with some other library units. This happens when an attempt is made to compile types that have attributes of other types that may participate in a cycle with this type. Example: create type t1; create type t2 (a t1); create type t1 (a t2);

Action: Break the cycle (possibly by adding a REF or by using another type).

PLS-00722: supertypes"s AUTHID is different than subtype"s AUTHID

Cause: The subtype"s"s AUTHID must be same as the supertype"s AUTHID.

Action: Create the subtype with AUTHID of its supertype or do not specify AUTHID for subtype.

PLS-00725: type "string" must be a supertype or subtype of the TREAT expression

Cause: In TREAT(<expr> AS <type>), type must be a supertype or subtype of <expr>.

Action: none

PLS-00726: MODIFY ELEMENT is supported only on schema-level varray and nested tables

Cause: An attempt was made to modify the limit of a type that was not a schema-level varray and nested table type.

Action: This is not a legal ALTER TYPE command for this type.

PLS-00727: MODIFY LIMIT is supported only on schema-level varray types

Cause: An attempt was made to modify the limit of a type that was not a schema-level varray type.

Action: This is not a legal ALTER TYPE command for this type.

PLS-00728: the limit of a VARRAY can only be increased and to a maximum 2147483647

Cause: An attempt was made to decrease the limit or raise it past 2147483647.

Action: This is not a legal limit for this type, change it.

PLS-00729: only widening of the collection element type is allowed

Cause: Modification to the collection element type did not widen its constraints or attempted to change the type of the element. For NUMBER types, scale and precision can be changed to allow increase in number of digits after and before the decimal point. For VARCHAR2 and RAW type attributes the size can be increased.

Action: Change the constraint specification so as to widen the existing constraints.

PLS-00730: collection element type does not allow modifications

Cause: The element type to modify is not one of VARCHAR2, NUMBER, or RAW.

Action: Only VARCHAR2, NUMBER and RAW collection elements can be modified.

PLS-00731: ALTER TYPE is supported only on schema-level types

Cause: An attempt was made to alter a type that was not schema-level.

Action: ALTER TYPE is not legal for this type.

PLS-00732: Illegal overload of ellipsis in formal parameter list

Cause: An ellipsis and a non-ellipsis type appeared at the same position in separate overload candidates. Currently, if ellipsis types are used they must appear in ALL overload candidates with the same name (regardless of the number or types of their formal parameters) at the same position in the formal parameter list.

Action: Make sure that ellipsis types appear at the same position in all overload candidates.

PLS-00733: RPCs to variable argument functions are not allowed

Cause: Attempted to call a vararg function (a function which contains ellipsis in the formal parameter list) as an RPC.

Action: Do not call vararg functions as an RPC.

PLS-00734: Illegal use of an associational parameter with a formal ellipsis

Cause: Attempted to use an associational actual argument for a formal ellipsis type argument.

Action: Remove associational parameters which correspond to formal ellipsis types.

PLS-00735: Attempted to declare more than one formal ellipsis parameter

Cause: More than one ellipsis ("...") was found in a formal parameter specification for a function or procedure

Action: Make sure only one ellipsis appears in a formal parameter specification for any given function or procedure

PLS-00736: user-declared operators are not allowed

Cause: An attempt was made by the user to declare an operator (a function whose name is enclosed in single quotes (""")). Operators may only be declared in package STANDARD.

Action: Remove the single quotes from around the function name, replacing them with double quotes (""") only if needed.

PLS-00737: LIBRARY file specification exceeds the maximum allowed length

Cause: A string of more than expected number of chararacters was found for the LIBRARY file specification.

Action: Limit the LIBRARY file specification to the appropriate size for the platform.

PLS-00738: REF target string changed during compilation

Cause: The current unit contains a REF to a target object. During compilation, the REF"s target object was simultaneously changed by a different session. The current unit is therefore invalid and needs to be recompiled to pick up the latest definition of the REF target.

Action: Recompile the unit that has this error.

PLS-00739: FORALL INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE not supported on remote tables

Cause: The current statement refers to remote insert/update/delete for remote object.

Action: Use a FOR loop instead of a FORALL loop or call a remote function or procedure that includes the FORALL INSERT/UPDATE/ DELETE statement.

PLS-00751: cannot find PACKAGE SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS

Cause: A top level subprogram (function or procedure) cannot be created if the system package SYS_STUB_FOR_PURITY_ANALYSIS is missing in the Oracle database.

Action: Make sure the package is in the database, and retry the creation

PLS-00752: Table function string is in an inconsistent state.

Cause: Some of the internally generated types prefixed with SYS_ have been dropped. These should never be dropped by the user.

Action: Recompile the table function or the package or type that contains the table function.

PLS-00753: malformed or corrupted wrapped unit

Cause: The format of the wrapped unit being compiled is not understood by the compiler. This may be because the unit was edited or modified after it was wrapped.

Action: Rewrap the unit. NLS_DO_NOT_TRANSLATE [800,800]

PLS-00801: internal error [string]

Cause: This is a generic internal error that might occur during compilation or execution. The first parameter is the internal error number.

Action: Report this error as a bug to your Customer Support representative.

PLS-00900: can"t find body of unit "string"

Cause: At run time, the body of a program unit could not be found. This can happen for one of two reasons. -- First, there may be a unit "a" which calls a module "b", where the spec for "b" exists but not the body. In this case, since the spec is present, there will be no compile-time errors. -- Secondly, this can occur if there is a reference to a sequence outside of the proper context such as a SQL statement. In this case, the "spec" of the sequence reference can be found, but it is invalid to actually run code which references the sequence outside a SQL statement, as in: i := seq.nextval;

Action: If caused by the first reason, create a body for the object that is being referenced. If caused by the second reason, move the sequence into a SQL statement. For example, i := seq.nextval; can be replaced by: select seq.nextval into temp from dual; i := temp;

PLS-00901: the data type of column "string" of table "string" is not supported

Cause: A column in a database table belongs to a datatype that is not supported by the current release of PL/SQL.

Action: Remove the offending column from the table or copy the desired columns to another table.

PLS-00902: A READ-ONLY bind variable used in OUT or IN-OUT context

Cause: A host variable that is protected from update was used in a context that allows an update.

Action: Check the context and change the use of the host variable, or assign the value of the host variable to a PL/SQL local variable, then use the local variable instead.

PLS-00904: insufficient privilege to access object string

Cause: An attempt was made to operate on a database object without the required privilege. This error occurs, for example, if an attempt was made to UPDATE a table for which only SELECT privileges were granted.

Action: Ask the DBA to perform the operation or to grant you the required privilege.

PLS-00905: object string is invalid

Cause: An invalid package specification or stored subprogram was referenced. A package specification or stored subprogram is invalid if its source code or any database object it references has been DROPped, REPLACEd, or ALTERed since it was last compiled.

Action: Find out what invalidated the package specification or stored subprogram, then make sure that Oracle can recompile it without errors.

PLS-00906: Compilation is not possible

Cause: The PL/SQL compiler cannot run properly because its operating environment is corrupted. For example, its error message file might be inaccessible.

Action: Check the PL/SQL operating environment, making sure that all files required by the compiler are accessible.

PLS-00907: cannot load library unit string (referenced by string)

Cause: PL/SQL is unable to find and load a library unit that was previously available. This typically happens when you try to load a unit which references another library unit that is non-existent or invalid.

Action: Provide the needed library unit.

PLS-00908: The stored format of string is not supported by this release

Cause: PL/SQL cannot understand the stored format of a library unit. It has been compiled or shrink-wrapped with a version of PL/SQL either too new or too old for this version to understand it.

Action: Recompile the library unit for this version of PL/SQL.

PLS-00909: object string is not declared or insufficient privileges to access object string

Cause: An object from the operator declaration is not declared, or it is declared but there is no sufficient privileges to access that object.

Action: Declare the object, or ask the DBA to grant the privileges required to access the object.

PLS-00910: insufficient privilege to inherit from type string

Cause: An attempt was made to inherit from a type without the required UNDER privilege.

Action: none

PLS-00920: parameter plsql_native_library_dir is not set

Cause: A PL/SQL program is being compiled natively, but the compiler parameter plsql_native_library_dir, which denotes the directory to store the native shared objects (DLL), is not set.

Action: The DBA should set this parameter.

PLS-00923: native compilation failed: string:string

Cause: The native compilation of PL/SQL program has failed because the native shared object (DLL) could not be created successfully.

Action: The DBA should ensure that the commands specified in spnc_commands file are correct.

PLS-00924: native compilation is not supported on this platform

Cause: Native compilation of PL/SQL programs is not supported on this platform.

Action: Compile the PL/SQL program to bytecode by setting the parameter plsql_compiler_flags to INTERPRETED.

PLS-00925: native compilation failed: Unable to create C file (string string)

Cause: Native compilation of a PL/SQL program failed because the C file could not be created. It is likely that the system paramter plsql_native_library_dir does not reference a writable, existing directory

Action: Ensure that the system parameter plsql_native_library_dir references a dirextory which exists, and is writable.

PLS-00950: In this version, PL/SQL tables can not be used in this SQL statement.

Cause: In a SQL statement, a PL/SQL table was referenced incorrectly. For example, the following reference might have been made, but PL/SQL table attributes can only be used in procedural statements: SELECT ename_tab.COUNT INTO name_count WHERE ...

Action: Remove the incorrect reference from the SQL statement.

PLS-00951: %s Feature is not supported by this release

Cause: PL/SQL cannot understand something in an imported library unit. It uses some feature either too new or too old for this version to understand it.

Action: Recompile the imported library unit with this version of PL/SQL, to discover more precisely what feature is not supported.

PLS-00960: RPCs cannot use parameters with schema-level object types in this release

Cause: Schema-level object types, or types which recursively use such types, were used in an RPC, which is not permitted. For example: create type foo as object (...) create package my_pack is type my_rec is record(v foo); -- on a remote server: x my_pack.my_rec@rpc; -- illegal attempt to use type my_rec

Action: Use only PL/SQL-defined types in RPC calls. It may be necessary to add extra code to element-wise copy schema-level types into local types in order to move such data through an RPC.

PLS-00970: The class name of a method must match that of EXTERNAL NAME clause in the type header

Cause: The class name defined as part of the method signature does not match the one defined in the type header in the EXTERNAL NAME clause. create type foo as object EXTERNAL NAME "foo" LANGUAGE JAVA (... MEMBER FUNCTION my (number) return number EXTERNAL NAME "bar.func(oracle.sql.NUMBER) return oracle.sql.NUMBER", .. );

Action: Either omit the class name from the method signature or use the one defined in the type header.

PLS-00989: Cursor Variable in record, object, or collection is not supported by this release

Cause: 3.0 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors

Action: none

PLS-00990: Index Tables of Cursor Variables are disallowed

Cause: 2.2 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors

Action: none

PLS-00992: Cursor Variables cannot be FETCH"ed from

Cause: 2.2 Implementation Restriction for Ref Cursors

Action: none

PLS-00993: Cursor variables cannot be passed as forwarded RPC arguments or results

Cause: An attempt was made to pass a cursor variable to or from a remote subprogram by way of a forwarded RPC, which is not allowed. For example, from a client-side tool, a procedure on a remote database cannot be used to open a cursor variable because remote subprograms cannot return the values of cursor variables.

Action: Change the subprogram call to reference the local database.

PLS-00994: Cursor Variables cannot be declared as part of a package

Cause: An attempt was made to declare a cursor variable in a package specification, which is not allowed. Although REF CURSOR types can be defined in a PL/SQL block, subprogram, or package, cursor variables can be declared only in a block or subprogram.

Action: Move the cursor variable declaration into a PL/SQL block or subprogram.

PLS-00995: unhandled exception # string

Cause: An exception was raised for which no handler was found. If it cannot find a handler for a raised exception, PL/SQL returns an unhandled exception to the host environment. The number embedded in the message is an Oracle error code listed in this manual.

Action: Fix the condition that raised the exception, write an appropriate exception handler, or use the OTHERS handler. If there is an appropriate handler in the current block, the exception was raised in a declaration or exception handler, and therefore propagated immediately to the enclosing block.

PLS-00996: out of memory

Cause: A request from PL/SQL for more memory failed.

Action: Make sure that you are not referencing the wrong row in a PL/SQL table and that the program is not recursing too deeply.

PLS-00997: no cursor return types allowed in this beta version

Cause: Cursor return types have bugs, and it is best to disable them for now.

Action: none

PLS-01400: Use of "||" token

Cause: Use of "||" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar. This corresponds to the "binary_add_op""s reduction to a "CAT_" in plsql.y

Action: none

PLS-01401: Identifier over 18 characters long

Cause: Identifiers over 18 characters long are not allowed under the ANSI grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01402: Use of quoted identifier

Cause: The use of quoted identifiers is a PL/SQL extension and is not allowed under the ANSI grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01403: Comment delimiters /* */

Cause: C-style comments (introduced with the "/" and "*" characters) are not part of the ANSI grammar. To conform with ANSI, comments must be preceded by the ANSI comment introducer, "--" , and must not contain a newline. If someone can figure out a way to make this message look less cheesy without ending up with nested comments, be my guest.

Action: none

PLS-01404: ANSI Identifiers can only consist of letters, digits, and the underscore character

Cause: ANSI identifiers can only consist of letters, digits, and the underscore character. PL/SQL allows "#" and "$" in identifiers, but these are not ANSI.

Action: none

PLS-01405: Under ANSI"s grammar, numeric data represented in exponent notationmust use an uppercase E

Cause: Under ANSI"s grammar, numeric data represented in exponent notation must use an uppercase "E". Example: 3.45E-6 is ANSI, but 3.45e-6 is not.

Action: none

PLS-01406: An identifier has been found that is considered a keyword in ANSI"s grammar but not in PL/SQL"s

Cause: An identifier has been found that is considered a keyword in ANSI"s grammar but not in PL/SQL"s.

Action: none

PLS-01407: One of the identifiers CHAR, CHARACTER, or INTEGER has been redefined by the programmer

Cause: One of the identifiers "CHAR", "CHARACTER", or "INTEGER" (all ansi keywords) has been redefined by the programmer.(special case of 1406, above).

Action: none

PLS-01408: Use of "&" token

Cause: Use of "&" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01409: Use of "PRIOR_" token

Cause: Use of "PRIOR_" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01410: Use of "MOD" token

Cause: Use of "MOD" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01411: Use of "REM" token

Cause: Use of "REM" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01412: Use of "EXP" token

Cause: Use of "EXP" token in expressions is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01413: Use of NULL an expression

Cause: Use of NULL an expression not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01414: Use of qualified expression here

Cause: Use of qualified expression here is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01415: Use of aggregate value here

Cause: Use of aggregate value here is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01416: Use of <id> (<value>...) here

Cause: Use of <id> (<value>...) here is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01417: Use of %%attribute

Cause: Use of %%attribute value here is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01418: Subquery cannot include set operators in ANSI"s grammar

Cause: Subquery cannot include set operators in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01419: Subquery must have either "*" or exactly one column in its select list

Cause: Subquery must have either "*" or exactly one column in its select list according to ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01420: INTERSECT and MINUS set operators are not ANSI

Cause: INTERSECT and MINUS set operators are not ANSI

Action: none

PLS-01421: FOR UPDATE clause

Cause: FOR UPDATE clause is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01422: Aliases

Cause: Aliases are not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01423: Subquery on right-hand-side in set clause

Cause: Subquery on right-hand-side in set clause is not in ANSI"s grammar.

Action: none

PLS-01424: Non-ANSI order of clauses

Cause: ANSI specifies an ordering to clauses in a table-expression which PL/SQL doesn"t. The ordering according to ANSI must be: (1) from clause (2) where clause (3) group-by clause (4) having clause In PL/SQL, the from clause must come first, and the clauses after it can appear in any order (with the addition of the non-ansi connect-by clause).

Action: none

PLS-01425: Connect-by clause

Cause: ANSI doesn"t allow connect-by clauses.

Action: none

PLS-01450: This <value expression> contains a nonconforming data type

Cause: This <value expression> contains a nonconforming data type. Section 4.2 of X3H2, "Data types" states that: "A nonnull value is either a character string or a number." Many builtin functions in STANDARD will be flagged with this warning by means of a pragma.

Action: none

PLS-01451: The data types of these <value expressions> must be comparable

Cause: The data types of these <value expressions> must be comparable. Section 4.2 of X3H2, "Data types", states that: "A character string and a number are not comparable values." Many builtin functions in STANDARD will be flagged with this warning by means of a pragma. This warning will be place on data-type coercion functions, for example, TO_CHAR(<number>), that are inserted in OracleSQL to allow non-conforming data type combinations.

Action: none

PLS-01452: This function is not part of the ANSI standard

Cause: This function is not part of the ANSI standard. This warning is used to flag such functions as "POWER" that are not mentioned in the ANSI specifications.

Action: none

PLS-01453: This procedure is not part of the ANSI standard

Cause: This procedure is not part of the ANSI standard. This warning is used to flag such procedures as "STOP" that are not mentioned in the ANSI specifications.

Action: none

PLS-01454: No operator may be used with values of data type CHAR

Cause: No operator may be used with values of data type "character string". Section 5.9, "<value expression>", syntax rule 3, of X3H2 states: "If the data type of a <primary> is character string, then the <value expression> shall not include any operators." This warning is placed on many functions in STDBASE that take CHAR args.

Action: none

PLS-01455: The predicates IS NULL and IS NOT NULL are defined only for column specifications

Cause: The predicates "IS NULL" and "IS NOT NULL" are defined only for column specifications, not for any other expressions. Section 5.15, "<null predicate>", indicates that in the predicate "x IS NULL", x must be a column, and may not be any other kind of expression.

Action: none

PLS-01458: The set clause in an UPDATE statement requires a column name of length 1

Cause: The set clause in an UPDATE statement requires a column name of length 1. Sect. 8.11, 8.12

Action: none

PLS-01460: Cannot access object on a remote host

Cause: Cannot access object on a remote host.

Action: none

PLS-01463: STDDEV is not a standard set function

Cause: STDDEV is not a standard set function.

Action: none

PLS-01464: VARIANCE is not a standard set function

Cause: VARIANCE is not a standard set function.

Action: none

PLS-01466: Null strings are not allowed

Cause: Null strings are not allowed.

Action: none

PLS-01467: The value list of the IN predicate, if not a subquery, must contain only value_specifications

Cause: The value list of the IN predicate, if not a subquery, must contain only value_specifications (i.e. literals and PL/SQL or embedded variables).

Action: none

PLS-01468: The first argument of the like-predicate must be a column of type character string

Cause: The first argument of the like-predicate must be a column of type character string.

Action: none

PLS-01469: ANSI standard does not permit records

Cause: ANSI standard does not permit records.

Action: none

PLS-01470: The escape character in the like-predicate must be a literal or a variable of type CHAR

Cause: The escape character in the like-predicate must be a literal or a variable of type character.

Action: none

PLS-01471: The keyword DISTINCT must be present in a COUNT(DISTINCT sim_expr)

Cause: The keyword DISTINCT must be present in a COUNT(DISTINCT sim_expr). Sect 5.8

Action: none

PLS-01472: In a set_function_specification, if DISTINCT is present, the expression must be a column_specification

Cause: In a set_function_specification, if DISTINCT is present, the expression must be a column_specification.

Action: none

PLS-01473: Use <> instead of != or ~=

Cause: Use <> instead of != or ~=. Sect 5.11.

Action: none

PLS-01474: Use of ANY is non_ANSI

Cause: Due to the combining of comparison_predicate and quantified_predicate, we may have something like sim_expr = ANY_ sim_expr, which is nonetheless accepted by kernel.

Action: none

PLS-01500: Unions are not allowed in the definition of a view

Cause: Unions are not allowed in the definition of a view. Sect. 6.9

Action: none

PLS-01501: Options in CREATE TABLE statement is non-ANSI.

Cause: CREATE TABLE allows only the definition of the structure of a table. None of the .SPACE__name. .PCTFREE__numeric_literal. .cluster. is ANSI. Sect. 6.2

Action: none

PLS-01502: Constraint name and constraint status are non-ANSI.

Cause: Constraint name and constraint status are non-ANSI. Sect. 6.3

Action: none

PLS-01503: The expression in a SET clause must not include a set function

Cause: The expression in a SET clause must not include a set function. Sect. 8.12.

Action: none

PLS-01504: Use of AS phase in CREATE TABLE statement is non_ANSI

Cause: CREATE TABLE allows only the definition of the structure of a table. Use of AS phase in CREATE TABLE statement is non-ANSI.

Action: none

PLS-01505: ALTER is non-ANSI

Cause: ALTER is non-ANSI

Action: none

PLS-01506: CREATE INDEX is non-ANSI

Cause: CREATE INDEX is non-ANSI

Action: none

PLS-01507: DROP is non-ANSI

Cause: DROP is non-ANSI

Action: Sect. 6.2

PLS-01701: Illegal syntax in ROLLBACK WORK statement

Cause: Illegal syntax in ROLLBACK WORK statement.

Action: none

PLS-01702: Illegal syntax in COMMIT WORK statement

Cause: Illegal syntax in COMMIT WORK statement.

Action: none

PLS-01703: Cursor name in CLOSE statment must be of length 1

Cause: Cursor name in CLOSE statment must be of length 1.

Action: none

PLS-01704: The expressions in a sort clause must be column specs or unsigned integers, with optional ASC or DESC

Cause: The expressions in a sort clause may only be column specifications or unsigned integers, followed by optional ASC or DESC.

Action: none

PLS-01705: table specified by a cursor not updatable if cursor specification has a UNION or ORDER_BY

Cause: Missing keyword FROM.

Action: none

PLS-01707: In positioned DELETE or UPDATE statement, table must be identified in specification of cursor

Cause: In a positioned DELETE or UPDATE statement, the table deleted fromor updated must be identified in the specifictation of the cursor.

Action: none

PLS-01708: In searched DELETE, UPDATE or INSERT, table must not appear in FROM clause of subqueries in search condition

Cause: In a searched DELETE, UPDATE or INSERT statement, the table affected must not appear in a FROM clause in any of the subqueries in the search condition.

Action: none

PLS-01709: value list of INSERT statement, if specified with value list rather than subquery, must be value specification

Cause: In an INSERT statement, the insert value list, if specified with a value list rather than a subquery, must be value specifications, i.e. no compound expressions or column references. Sect 8.7.

Action: none

PLS-01710: In a positioned DELETE or UPDATE statement, the cursor name must be of length 1

Cause: In a positioned DELETE or UPDATE statement, the cursor name must be of length 1.

Action: none

PLS-01711: A SELECT statement may not contain ORDER_BY, HAVING, or GROUP_BY clause

Cause: A SELECT statement may not contain ORDER_BY, HAVING, or GROUP_BY clause. Sect. 8.10.

Action: none

PLS-01712: ANSI does not allow bind variables as INDICATORS

Cause: ANSI does not allow bind variables as INDICATORS

Action: none

PLS-01713: The constraints on these types do not match

Cause: The constraints on these types do not match

Action: none

PLS-01714: ANSI expects a column name not a literal value here

Cause: ANSI expects a column name not a literal value here

Action: none

PLS-01900: : character to number conversion error

Cause: There was a failure while converting a character string into a numeric value.

Action: Verify that all character strings assigned to number variables have valid numeric value interpretations.

PLS-01901: : host bind array too small

Cause: PL/SQL was unable to transfer data into a host array because the array is too small.

Action: Increase the size of the host array.

PLS-01902: : hex to raw conversion error

Cause: There was a failure while converting a hexadecimal string to a raw.

Action: Verify that the hexadecimal variable to be converted contains a valid hexadecimal value.

PLS-01903: : non-integer error number

Cause: SQLERRM() was called with a non-integer value.

Action: Make sure SQLERRM() is called with an integer value.

PLS-01904: : NULL index table key value

Cause: An attempt was made to index into an index table with a NULL key value.

Action: Make sure key values used to index into index tables are non-NULL.

PLS-01905: : character string buffer too small

Cause: An error was encountered while moving a character string from a source to a destination. This error occurs if, for example, an attempt is made to move a a character string of 10 characters into a 1 character buffer. The cause of this error may not always be obvious. For example, the following will result in this error: a varchar2(1); b number; b := 10; a := b; An error results because an implicit conversion causes the number 10 to become the character string "10", which does not fit in the character buffer of 1 allocated for the variable a.

Action: First, look for character string assignment statements where the buffer size is mismatched. If there are none found, then consider the implicit conversion case illustrated in the example above.

PLS-01906: : raw variable length too long

Cause: The length of a raw variable being copied or assigned was too long to fit into its destination.

Action: Make sure the raw variable length is correct.

PLS-01907: : number precision too large

Cause: The number begin copied or assigned had too many digits to the left of the decimal and did not fit into its destination. In other words, there is a number precision mismatch. This error may also occur if, for example, an attempt is made to assign a character string to a number, as demonstrated below. a varchar2(4); b number(1,1); a := "10.1"; b := a;

Action: First, check explicit number precision value mismatches. If none are found, then consider implicit conversions of other types to numbers, including conversions performed during binds.

PLS-01908: : RETURNING INTO buffer too small

Cause: PL/SQL determined that a server side DML with a RETURNING INTO clause does not use a buffer that is large enough to hold the data being returned.

Action: Increase the size of the RETURNING INTO clause buffer.

PLS-01909: : cannot assign supertype instance to subtype

Cause: An attempt was made to assign or copy a supertype instance to a container (destination) that can only hold a subtype instance.

Action: Make sure the runtime type of the source of the assignment or copy is the same type as the destination or is a subtype of the destination type

PLS-01910: : associative array shape is not consistent with session parameters

Cause: NLS parameters affecting comparison of keys have been altered dynamically. The associative array"s index is invalid.

Action: Avoid using associative arrays with string keys in applications which require frequent changes of NLS_COMP and/or NLS_SORT.

PLS-01911: : associative array key violates its type constraints

Cause: The key value of an element being inserted into an associative array violates the the key type constraints.

Action: Relax the constraints if the key value is meant to be acceptable. Otherwise, apply a valid key value when inserting an element.

PLS-01912: : instance must of be of type "string"

Cause: The run-time type of the instance is not the declared type. e.g. If the return value of a user defined constructor is wrong.

Action: Return the correct type.

PLS-01913: : instance must of be of type "string" or one of its subtypes

Cause: The run-time type of the instance is the not declared type or one of its subtypes. e.g. TREAT(supertype AS subtype) fails.

37 PLW-05000 to PLW-07204

PLW-05000: mismatch in NOCOPY qualification between specification and body

Cause: The indicated parameter was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the subprogram specification but not in the body, or it was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the body but not in the specification.

Action: Ensure that the specification and the body agree in their use of NOCOPY. If this mismatch is not corrected, the program will obey the declaration given in the specification, ignoring that in the body.

PLW-05001: previous use of "string" (at line string) conflicts with this use

Cause: While looking for prior declarations of a variable, constant, or label, the compiler found another declaration with the same name in the same scope. Or, the headers of subprogram in a package specification and body were not identical.

Action: Check the spelling of the variable, constant, or label name. Also check the names of all parameters and exceptions declared in the same scope. Then, remove or rename the object with the duplicate name. Or, change the headers of the packaged subprogram in the package specification or body so that they are identical.

PLW-05003: same actual parameter(string and string) at IN and NOCOPY may have side effects

Cause: The indicated parameter was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the subprogram specification but not in the body, or it was declared with the NOCOPY hint in the body but not in the specification.

Action: Ensure that the specification and the body agree in their use of NOCOPY. If this mismatch is not corrected, the program will obey the declaration given in the specification, ignoring that in the body.

PLW-05004: identifier string is also declared in STANDARD or is a SQL builtin

Cause: The indicated identifier was also either: o) declared in package STANDARD, or o) a SQL builtin function, or o) a pseudo-column. This situation can result in name resolution issues since the STANDARD/builtin declaration will be chosen over the local declaration in SQL statements; however the local declaration will be chosen over the STANDARD/builtin declaration outside SQL scope. (See the documentation on PL/SQL name resolution.)

Action: Either: o) rename the given identifier, o) qualify any references to the identifier with the containing scope"s name, or o) make sure the intended resolution occurs if using the identifier in SQL scope.

PLW-05005: function string returns without value at line string

Cause: The function exited without a return value. Return statements are required for all PL/SQL functions.

Action: Inspect the function source code for exit points, and place a return at each point so that no runtime error will be generated when the function exits. NLS_DO_NOT_TRANSLATE [5400,5401]

PLW-05006: shadow type generation resulted in warning: string

Cause: Compilation of a table function causes the creation of internally- generated types. A problem occurred during creation of these types which was not severe enough to prevent the creation of the types, but which may impact the usage of the table function. See the accompanying error message for more information.

Action: Fix the issue reported in the accompanying error message.

PLW-06002: Unreachable code

Cause: Static program analysis determined that some code on the specified line would never be reached during execution. This may come as a result of expression evaluation at compile time.

Action: Inspect program logic for possible defects. Disable the warning if much code is made unreachable intentionally and the warning message is more annoying than helpful.

PLW-06003: unknown inquiry directive "string"

Cause: An unknown inquiry directive was used. The inquiry directive is neither predefined nor user-defined.

Action: Use a predefined inquiry directive or define the inquiry directive.

PLW-07202: bind type would result in conversion away from column type

Cause: The column type and the bind type do not exactly match. This will result in the column being converted to the type of the bind variable. This type conversion may prevent the SQL optimizer from using any index the column participates in. This may adversely affect the execution performance of this statement.

Action: To make use of any index for this column, make sure the bind type is the same type as the column type.

PLW-07203: parameter "string" may benefit from use of the NOCOPY compiler hint

Cause: The mode of the specified parameter was IN OUT or OUT. Use of the NOCOPY compiler hint may speed up calls to this subprogram.

Action: Change the mode of the parameter to explicitly use the NOCOPY compiler hint. For example, if your subprogram declaration is: PROCEDURE proc(p1 IN OUT CLOB); you can change it to: PROCEDURE proc(p1 IN OUT NOCOPY clob); to get the benefit of the NOCOPY hint. For member procedures or functions in object types, you may have to explicitly declare the SELF parameter as illustrated in the following: MEMBER PROCEDURE proc(SELF IN OUT NOCOPY MY_TYPE);

PLW-07204: conversion away from column type may result in sub-optimal query plan

Cause: The column type and the bind type do not exactly match. This may result in the column being converted to the type of the bind variable. This type conversion may prevent the SQL optimizer from using any index the column participates in. This may adversely affect the execution performance of this statement.

Action: To make use of any index for this column, make sure the bind type is the same type as the column type.

Action: If NS error code 12538 is also returned then the BEQ driver is not installed; call Oracle Worldwide Support as the BEQ driver should always be installed. If this is not the problem then the error is probably

TNS-01101: Could not find service name string

Cause: The ervice name could not be resolved by name-lookup.

Action: Verify that the listener name or service name specified to LSNRCTL has the correct name and address defined in LISTENER.ORA or in TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-01102: TNS application contacted was not the listener

Cause: Another TNS application such as the Interchange was listening at the address contacted. There may be another TNS application listening at the address contacted and the data returned is not in the appropriate format.

TNS-01103: Protocol specific component of the address is incorrectly specified

Cause: The ADDRESS used to contact the listener is not correctly specified. This error occurs because the address fails to specify the destination of the listener. The address is well formed (for example, there are no missing parentheses) but it is missing a protocol specific component. For example, this is the error returned when the HOST component is missing from a TCP/IP address string.

Action: Edit the ADDRESS in LISTENER.ORA to include the required protocol-specific keywords. For more information about the keywords required by different protocol adapters, see the Oracle operating system specific documentation for your platform.

TNS-01106: Listener using listener name string has already been started

Action: Specify one of OFF, USER, ADMIN, or SUPPORT. Type "LSNRCTL help trace" for more information or consult Chapter 2 of this manual for an introduction to the concepts of tracing.

TNS-01108: Listener password prompt failed

Cause: Password not entered via tty

Action: Enter the listener password on a tty device

TNS-01109: Listener password encryption failed

Cause: Possibly garbled password entered

Action: Re-enter the listener password, using valid ASCII characters. If problem persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01110: Mismatch - password unchanged

Cause: New password and reentered new password are different"

Action: Re-enter the listener password, make sure that New password and reentered new password are the same

TNS-01111: Log status can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a log status value for the LSNRCTL log_status command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set log_status" for more information or consult Chapter 2 of this manual for an introduction to the concepts of logging.

TNS-01112: Plug and play can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a valid value for the LSNRCTL use_plugandplay command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set use_plugandplay" for more information.

TNS-01113: save_config_on_stop can either be ON or OFF

Cause: Failed to specify a valid value for the LSNRCTL save_config_on_stop command.

Action: Specify one of ON or OFF. Type "LSNRCTL help set save_config_on_stop" for more information.

TNS-01114: LSNRCTL could not perform local OS authentication with the listener

Cause: LSNRCTL failed to obtain system resources (heap memory, or shared memory) needed to perform local OS authentication with the listener.

Action: Make sure that system resources like shared memory and heap memory are available for LSNRCTL tool to execute properly.

TNS-01115: OS error string creating shared memory segment of string bytes with key string

Cause: The shared memory segment could not be created as requested. For example, a segment with the provided key may already exist, or the size may be outside of system allowed range.

Action: Use the error code to determine the exact cause of the problem. In certain cases the problem may be resolved by adjusting the system-imposed limits such as the maximum number of allowed shared memory segments, or their maximum and minimum sizes. In other cases, resources need to be freed up first for the operation to succeed.

TNS-01116: Listener alias name given as connect identifier is too long

Cause: The listener alias name you were attempting to resolve was too long.

Action: The maximum length of a listener alias name is 255 bytes; this limit has been exceeded. Use a smaller listener alias name.

TNS-01150: The address of the specified listener name is incorrect

Cause: The address on which the listener attempted to listen contains a syntax error.

Action: For the listener name or service name specified to LSNRCTL, check that the address or connect descriptor is well-formed. You can find the listener name in LISTENER.ORA, or you can access the listener through the service name is TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-01151: Missing listener name, string, in LISTENER.ORA

Cause: The listener could not find the listener name specified.

Action: Make sure valid addresses on which to listen are specified for the listener name in LISTENER.ORA.

TNS-01152: All addresses specified for the listener name, string, failed

Cause: The listener failed to listen on any of the specified addresses.

Action: Make sure that another application is not listening on the addresses specified or check that the appropriate protocol adapters are installed. Turn on tracing and execute again for more information.

TNS-01153: Failed to process string: string

Cause: The string specified is not well-formed.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01154: SID detected in old format that is no longer supported

Cause: One of the SIDs was specified in an obsolete format.

Action: Check LISTENER.ORA for a line of the form: <sid> = (SID=(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)) OR <sid> = (SID_DESC=(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)) The above format is no longer supported and SID_LIST_<listener_name> format described in the Oracle9i Net Services Reference Guide should be used. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)))

TNS-01155: Incorrectly specified SID_LIST_string parameter in LISTENER.ORA

Cause: SID_LIST_<listener_name> in LISTENER.ORA has an error in it.

Action: Be sure this parameter is specified as described in the Oracle9i Net Services Reference Guide. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)))

TNS-01156: Missing or inappropriate PROTOCOL, TIMEOUT or POOL_SIZE parameter from PRESPAWN_DESC

Cause: PRESPAWN_DESC in each SID_DESC does not have required fields.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(PRESPAWN_MAX=5)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30)))) Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file

TNS-01157: Can only listen on number addresses - ignoring string

Cause: Too many addresses were given to listen on.

Action: Reduce the number of addresses to listen on and use another listener to listen on the remaining addresses.

TNS-01158: Internal connection limit reached, preventing dispatcher from connecting

Cause: The internal Oracle Net connection list is full. Too many dispatchers are connected to the listener; therefore, no more dispatchers are allowed to connect.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01159: Internal connection limit has been reached; listener has shut down

Cause: The internal Oracle Net connection list is full. The listener is configured to use too many Oracle Net connections.

Action: Reduce the number of listen addresses or services connected to the listener. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01160: Trace level was not specified

Cause: Failed to specify a trace level for the trace command.

Action: Specify one of OFF, USER, ADMIN, or SUPPORT. Users should not see this error if LSNRCTL is being used.

TNS-01161: Spawn alias string was not found. Check listener parameter file

Cause: The alias specified to spawn a program was not found in LISTENER.ORA.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

TNS-01162: Syntax error in the address resolved from the spawn alias: string

Cause: The alias specified to spawn a program was not a valid NVstring.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

TNS-01163: Failed to spawn process: string

Cause: The process failed to start correctly.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

TNS-01164: No spawn alias sent to listener

Cause: The spawn command was issued without an alias.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

TNS-01165: Spawn alias has no program name set in it

Cause: The spawn alias in LISTENER.ORA is incorrectly specified.

Action: This is not seen in normal use of Oracle Net.

TNS-01167: The command string is not supported by the listener contacted

Cause: The listener does not recognize the command.

Action: This is caused when a newer version of LSNRCTL contacts an old listener. Upgrade listener if executing this command is important.

TNS-01168: Cannot allocate memory

Cause: Sufficient memory could not be allocated to perform the desired activity.

Action: Either free some resource for TNS, or add more memory to the machine. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.

TNS-01169: The listener has not recognized the password

Cause: The listener has the password security mechanism enabled and requires the correct password to execute any command other than VERSION. The user attempted to issue one of the privileged administrative commands, but could not be successfully authenticated with the password provided.

Action: If an authorized user is attempting the command, then use the SET PASSWORD command at the LSNRCTL prompt with the listener password. If you do not know the password, then you are trying to execute an inappropriate command.

TNS-01170: Event detection broke for address: string

Cause: The event detection mechanism for the address specified returned an error.

Action: Future attempts to detect events on this address will fail. The listener will deallocate the listen address and connections will no long be accepted for this address. This error is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01171: Event detection broke for dispatcher: string

Cause: The event detection mechanism for the dispatcher specified returned an error.

Action: Future attempts to detect events on this dispatcher will fail. The listener will deallocate the dispatcher and connections will no long be redirected to this dispatcher. This error is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01172: Listener has shut down since all listen addresses have been deallocated

Cause: The event detection mechanism broke and caused all listen addresses to be removed.

Action: Error 1170 has occured and caused all the listen addresses to be deallocated. Since all the listen addresses have been removed, no more connections can be established to this listener so it shuts itself down. This error is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01173: Missing or inappropriate PRESPAWN_MAX parameter from SID_DESC

Cause: PRESPAWN_MAX in each SID_DESC does not have required fields.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(PRESPAWN_MAX=15)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30)))) Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file

TNS-01174: The sum of the POOL_SIZEs from each PRESPAWN_DESC is greater than the PRESPAWN_MAX

Cause: The minimum value for PRESPAWN_MAX should be the sum of the POOL_SIZEs.

Action: Be sure the parameters required for PRESPAWN_DESC are specified in each SID_DESC. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER = (SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(PRESPAWN_MAX=15)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(POOL_SIZE=10)(TIMEOUT=30))(PRESPAWN_DESC=(PROTOCOL=ipc)(POOL_SIZE=5)(TIMEOUT=15)))) Add or correct these parameters in the LISTENER.ORA file

TNS-01175: Password unchanged

Cause: Unable to set the new password

Action: Be sure to see that the new password has legal ASCII characters. Try to set the password again.

TNS-01176: Error in loading the new parameter value

Cause: Illegal values given for the parameters

Action: Make sure that the parameter values are valid refer to the manual for the legal values for paramters

TNS-01177: Log Status is OFF. Log file/directory unchanged

Cause: Log status needs to be set ON for changing the log file

Action: use command set log_status ON to set the log status of the listener ON.

TNS-01178: Trace Level is 0. Trace file/directory unchanged

Cause: Trace Level needs to be set for changing the trace file/directory

Action: use command set trc_level ON to set the trace level

TNS-01179: Listener cannot load instance class "string"

Cause: Instance tried to register as a class unknown to listener.

Action: check LISTENER.ORA and/or instance configuration, and reference platform documentation to find the instance classes available for the listener on this platform.

TNS-01180: Missing listener object string in Directory Server

Cause: The listener could not find the listener object specified.

Action: Make sure the listener object is present in the Directory Server.

TNS-01181: Internal registration connection limit reached

Cause: The number of registration connections has reached the maximum. No more registrations are allowed until some of the existing registration connections are completed.

Action: Disconnect existing registration connections if they are no longer needed.

TNS-01182: Listener rejected registration of service "string"

Cause: Received registration information could not be processed because it was invalid, or an internal error occurred.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the instance. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01183: Listener rejected registration or update of instance "string"

Cause: Received registration or update information could not be processed because it was invalid, or an internal error occurred.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the instance. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01184: Listener rejected registration or update of service handler "string"

Cause: Received registration or update information could not be processed because it was invalid, or an internal error occurred.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the instance. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-01185: Registration attempted from a remote node

Cause: It was determined that the registering instance is not located on the same node as the listener. It is required that the instance be colocated with the listener for this type of service registration.

Action: Check the configuration of the registering instance. Ensure that local_listener parameter specifies only local listeners. Use remote_listener parameter to specify remote listeners.

TNS-01186: Client connection was dropped based on a filtering rule

Cause: Listener was configured with a filtering rule which explicitly specified that the client connection should be terminated without returning an error to the client.

Action: Modify the filtering rules if the client should be allowed access to the requested service.

TNS-01187: No proxy service handler available

Cause: One of the following conditions has occurred:
- the proxy service was not registered

- the proxy service was registered, but was blocking new connections

- all of the registered proxy service handlers were blocking new connections

Action: If the proxy service is not registered it may need to be restarted. If the proxy service handlers are busy and not accepting new connections more of them may need to be started to handle the load.

TNS-01188: Listener cannot operate with incompatible transport protocols

Cause: Listener was configured with multiple listening addresses with different and incompatible transport protocols. Listener cannot operate efficiently in such configuration.

Action: Modify the existing listener configuration by removing the listening address that caused the error. Configure a separate listener to listen on this address.

TNS-01189: The listener could not authenticate the user

Cause: The user attempted to issue a privileged administrative command, but could not be successfully authenticated by the listener using the local OS authentication mechanism. This may occur due to one of the following reasons:
1. The user is running a version of LSNRCTL that is lower than the version of the listener.

2. The user is attempting to administer the listener from a remote node.

3. The listener could not obtain the system resources needed to perform the authentication.

4. The local network connection between the listener and LSNRCTL was terminated unexpectedly during authentication message exchange, such as if LSNRCTL program was suddenly aborted.

5. The communication between the listener and LSNRCTL is being intercepted by a malicious user.

6. The software that the user is running is not following the authentication protocol, indicating a malicious user.

Action: Make sure that administrative commands are issued using the LSNRCTL tool that is of a version equal or greater than the version of the listener, and that the tool and the listener are running on the same node. You can issue the VERSION command to find out the version of the listener. If a malicious user is suspected, use the information provided in the listener log file to determine the source and nature of the requests. Enable listener tracing for more information. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.

TNS-01190: The user is not authorized to execute the requested listener command

Cause: Most of the listener administrative commands are only intended to be issued by privileged users, for example DBAs or system administrators. If the listener password is not set, then the listener only accepts administrative requests from LSNRCTL running with the same OS credentials, or running as a local administrator (also referred to as super user).

Action: If an authorized user is attempting the command, then make sure that LSNRCTL is executed with the same OS user credentials as the running listener, or as a local administrator.

TNS-01191: Failed to initialize the local OS authentication subsystem

Cause: Initialization of the security subsystem failed during listener startup or reload. The listener could not obtain system resources (memory, or file descriptors) needed for local OS authentication security mechanism.

Action: Make sure that system resources like shared memory and heap memory are available for listener to execute properly. For further details, turn on tracing and execute the operation again. If the error persists, contact Oracle Support Services.

TNS-01192: Missing SID_LIST_ value left of equation for SID description in LISTENER.ORA

Cause: SID description in LISTENER.ORA had an error in it.

Action: Make sure the lines of code in LISTENER.ORA containing SID_DESC or SID begin with SID_LIST_<listener_name> on the left side of the equation. For example, SID_LIST_LISTENER =(SID_LIST=(SID_DESC=(SID_NAME=<sid>)(ORACLE_HOME=<oracle_home>)))

TNS-01200: The listener must be suid root

Cause: The ownership privileges of the TNSLSNR executable are incorrect.

Action: Contact your DBA or system administrator to change the ownership of the file to be suid root and restart the listener. This action is necessary because the user that started the process should claim ownership.

TNS-01201: Listener cannot find executable string for SID string

Cause: The executable for the Oracle dedicated server process cannot be found.

Action: Check the appropriate SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA to make sure that the ORACLE_HOME component is pointing to a valid location. If this component is not set, then check the value of the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.

TNS-01202: Missing the dba group (string) specified by DBA_GROUP in SID_DESC

Cause: The dba group specified is missing from /ETC/GROUP.

Action: Check the DBA_GROUP parameter in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA and verify it has a valid entry in /ETC/GROUP.

TNS-01203: Missing the account (string) specified by DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT in SID_DESC

Cause: The unprivileged OS account is missing from /etc/passwd.

Action: Check the DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT parameter in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA and verify it has a valid entry in /etc/passwd. This is the account that the Oracle shadow process will be started with if the the connecting client has database privileges or does not exist on this machine.

TNS-01204: Unprivileged account (string) is in dba group (string)

Cause: The unprivileged account has DBA privileges. The unprivileged account specified by DEFAULT_USER_ACCOUNT in the SID_DESC in LISTENER.ORA is a member of the dba group specified by DBA_GROUP in SID_DESC. The unprivileged account cannot belong to the dba group because this would be a security violation with OPS$ logins.

Action: Remove the unprivileged account from the dba group.

Cause: gbname or domain name too long.

Action: Check the gbname parameter in listener.ora, shorten it.

TNS-02402: Bad CLBGNAMES parameter in tnsnames.ora

Cause: CLBGNAMES parameter in tnsnames.ora is bad.

Action: Check the CLBGNAMES parameter format and correct it. Make sure that the tnsnames.ora file is there.

TNS-02403: Bad alias string or alias not present in tnsnames.ora

Cause: An alias was expected in tnsnames.ora but was not found or was not correctly formed.

Action: Check the tnsnames.ora for the alias and make sure it is correctly formed.

TNS-02404: Service string contains no local handlers

Cause: The listener found no suitable handler to redirect to.

Action: Make sure that there is at least one handler for this node.

TNS-02405: GMS call failed, check GMS logs.

Cause: A GMS call made by the listener failed.

Action: Check if the GMS is up and running. See GMS-client trace files for more information.

TNS-02501: Authentication: no more roles

Cause: When a process attempted to retrieve a role from the authentication service, no more were available.

Action: None. This error is used internally and occurs in the normal course of events.

TNS-02502: Authentication: unable to find initialization function

Cause: The native authentication service was unable to call the initialization function for the specified service because it does not exist.

Action: If this service adaptor came directly from Oracle, contact Oracle Customer Support, as this error should never happen. Otherwise, add an initialization function for the service being used.

TNS-02503: Parameter retrieval failed

Cause: The native service layer was unable to retrieve a parameter from a configuration file.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02504: Parameter count retrieval failed

Cause: The native service layer was unable to determine the number of arguments given for a configuration parameter.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02505: Authentication: null context pointer provided

Cause: The function nau_ini() was passed a null pointer as the pointer to the context that it is supposed to use.

Action: Call nau_ini() with a pointer to a context structure.

TNS-02506: Authentication: no type string

Cause: An authentication context structure does not contain a string that describes the authentication service being used.

Action: If it is possible, enable tracing and attempt to reproduce the problem. In any event, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02507: Encryption: algorithm not installed

Cause: After picking an algorithm, the server was unable to find an index for it in its table of algorithms. This should be impossible because the algorithm was chosen (indirectly) from that list.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-02508: Encryption: server negotiation response in error

Cause: The server"s response in negotiation was in error.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.

Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):

- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)

- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.

- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.

- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.

- If you are using directory naming:

- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).

- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.

- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.

TNS-12162: TNS:net service name is incorrectly specified

Cause: The connect descriptor corresponding to the net service name in TNSNAMES.ORA or in the directory server (Oracle Internet Directory) is incorrectly specified.

Action: If using local naming make sure there are no syntax errors in the corresponding connect descriptor in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. If using directory naming check the information provided through the administration used for directory naming.

TNS-12163: TNS:connect descriptor is too long

Cause: The connect descriptor corresponding to the net service name specified as the connect identifier is too long. The maximum length for a connect descriptor is 512 bytes and this limit has been exceeded.

Action: Check the net service name"s connect descriptor in the local naming file (TNSNAMES.ORA) or in the directory server (Oracle Internet Directory). Use a smaller connect descriptor. If this is not possible, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

TNS-12164: TNS:Sqlnet.fdf file not present

Cause: The sqlnet.fdf file doesn"t exist in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin.

Action: The sqlnet.fdf file is required for Oracle Tracing to occur. Either install the sqlnet.fdf file in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or turn off tracing in your ORA file.

TNS-12165: TNS:Trying to write trace file into swap space.

Action: The maximum length of a net service name is 255 bytes; this limit has been exceeded. Use a smaller net service name. If this is not possible, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

TNS-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred

Cause: The server shut down because connection establishment or communication with a client failed to complete within the allotted 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 server.

Action: If the error occurred because of a slow network or system, reconfigure one or all of the parameters SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT in sqlnet.ora to larger values. If a malicious client is suspected, use the address in sqlnet.log to identify the source and restrict access. Note that logged addresses may not be reliable as they can be forged (e.g. in TCP/IP).

TNS-12171: TNS:could not resolve connect identifier: string

Cause: A connection to a database or other service was requested using a connect identifier, and the connect identifier specified could not be resolved into a connect descriptor using one of the naming methods configured. For example, if the type of connect identifier used was a net service name then the net service name could not be found in a naming method repository, or the repository could not be located or reached.

Action:
- If you are using local naming (TNSNAMES.ORA file):

- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)

- If you are using directory naming:

- Verify that "LDAP" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).

- Verify that the LDAP directory server is up and that it is accessible.

- Verify that the net service name or database name used as the connect identifier is configured in the directory.

- Verify that the default context being used is correct by specifying a fully qualified net service name or a full LDAP DN as the connect identifier

- If you are using easy connect naming:

- Verify that "EZCONNECT" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRETORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA).

- Make sure the host, port and service name specified are correct.

- Try enclosing the connect identifier in quote marks. See the Oracle Net Services Administrators Guide or the Oracle operating system specific guide for more information on naming.

Action: Ensure that the ORACLE environment is set up appropriately on your platform and that a TNSNAV.ORA file is present.

TNS-12209: TNS:encountered uninitialized global

Cause: Application calling navigation routine has not properly configured the global variables. There are no TNSNAV.ORA files available, or they are defective.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

TNS-12210: TNS:error in finding Navigator data

Cause: Application calling navigation routine has not properly configured the TNSNAV.ORA file.

Action: Check the syntax of the TNSNAV.ORA file.

TNS-12211: TNS:needs PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entry in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: TNSNAV.ORA does not have a PREFERRED_CMANAGERS defined.

Action: Add a PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entry to the TNSNAV.ORA file.

TNS-12212: TNS:incomplete PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: The PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding in the client"s TNSNAV.ORA file does not have a CMANAGER_NAME specified.

Action: Define the CMANAGER_NAME as part of the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding. Use of the Oracle Network Manager should eliminate this error.

TNS-12213: TNS:incomplete PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: The PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding in the client"s TNSNAV.ORA file does not have an ADDRESS specified.

Action: Define the ADDRESS as part of the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding.

TNS-12214: TNS:missing local communities entry in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: There is no LOCAL_COMMUNITIES entry in TNSNAV.ORA.

Action: Define the LOCAL_COMMUNITIES for this node in the TNSNAV.ORA file.

TNS-12215: TNS:poorly formed PREFERRED_NAVIGATORS Addresses in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: Address binding for PREFERRED_NAVIGATORS entry is improperly entered. entry.

Action: Check your PREFERRED_NAVIGATORS entry and fix it in TNSNAV.ORA

TNS-12216: TNS:poorly formed PREFERRED_CMANAGERS addresses in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: Address binding for the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entry in the client"s TNSNAV.ORA file is improperly entered.

Action: Define the ADDRESS as part of the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS binding.

TNS-12217: TNS:could not contact PREFERRED_CMANAGERS in TNSNAV.ORA

Cause: There is a syntax error in the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entry, or addresses specified are wrong, or the intended Connection Managers are unavailable.

Action: Check the PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entries in the client"s TNSNAV.ORA file and correct them or talk with your network administrator to determine if the specified Connection Managers are available. Verify that the Interchanges are active by using the INTCTL STATUS command.

TNS-12218: TNS:unacceptable network configuration data

Cause: Poorly formed network configuration data. For example, a PREFERRED_CMANAGERS entry may have an incorrect CMANAGER_NAME in the client"s TNSNAV.ORA file. Or an Interchange downtime parameter (TIMEOUT_INTERVAL) on the Navigator may be set to zero in INTCHG.ORA.

Action: Check the entries in TNSNAV.ORA and the Interchange configuration files and correct them. If necessary, talk with your network administrator to determine if the specified Interchanges (Connection Managers) are available and properly configured. Use the Oracle Network Manager to generate the configuration files if necessary.

TNS-12219: TNS:missing community name from address in ADDRESS_LIST

Cause: This error occurs when an ADDRESS_LIST has some ADDRESSes in it that have no COMMUNITY component and others that do have a COMMUNITY component.

Action: Check that in the connect descriptors you are using either all the ADDRESSes have a COMMUNITY component or all do not.

TNS-12221: 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 or in the directory. Legal ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system specific documentation or the Oracle Net Administrator"s Guide. Protocols that resolve names at the transport layer are vulnerable to this error if not properly configured or names are misspelled.

TNS-12222: TNS:no support is available for the protocol indicated

Cause: The protocol requested in the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor identified through the net service name is not available. If the supplied ADDRESS is typographically correct then support for that protocol is not installed.

Action: Install support for the protocol or correct typographical error, as appropriate. Note: if the supplied address was derived from resolving the net service name, check the address in the appropriate file (TNSNAMES.ORA, LISTENER.ORA) or in the directory server.

TNS-12223: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded

Cause: Too many TNS connections open simultaneously.

Action: Wait for connections to close and re-try.

TNS-12224: TNS:no listener

Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener is not running.

Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of the addresses used by the listener - compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.

TNS-12225: TNS:destination host unreachable

Cause: Contact can not be made with remote party.

Action: Make sure the network driver is functioning and the network is up.

TNS-12226: TNS:operating system resource quota exceeded

Cause: The current user has exceeded the allotted resource assigned in the operating system.

Action: Acquire more operating system resource, or perform a different function.

TNS-12227: TNS:syntax error

Cause: The supplied connect descriptor contains illegal syntax.

Action: Check the syntax of the connect descriptor in TNSNAMES.ORA.

TNS-12228: TNS:protocol adapter not loadable

Cause: On some platforms (such as Windows) protocol support is loaded at run-time. If the shared library (or DLL) for the protocol adapter is missing or one of its supporting libraries is missing then this error is returned.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. The trace file will include the name of the shared library (or DLL) that could not be loaded.

TNS-12229: TNS:Interchange has no more free connections

Cause: One or more Interchanges along the path to the destination desired has no more free connections available to be used for this call.

Action: Try again later when the Interchanges are less busy, or contact your network administrator to have him determine which interchange it is, and increase the number of connections available on that interchange.

TNS-12230: TNS:Severe Network error occurred in making this connection

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which fails to make contact with the destination due to a physical network error while calling a destination.

Action: Try again later when the network service may have been fixed or report the problem to your Network Administrator so that he may fix the problem.

TNS-12231: TNS:No connection possible to destination

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which fails to find a possible connection along the path to the destination.

Action: Report the problem to your Network Administrator so that he may fix the problem.

TNS-12232: TNS:No path available to destination

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which fails to find a possible path to the destination.

Action: Report the problem to your Network Administrator so that he may fix the problem.

TNS-12233: TNS:Failure to accept a connection

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which fails to accept a connection due to a redirect failure.

Action: Report the problem to your Network Administrator so that he may isolate the interchange problem.

TNS-12234: TNS:Redirect to destination

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which determines that this interchange is not the right gateway and needs to redirect the connection to another gateway along the path to the destination.

Action: None.

TNS-12235: TNS:Failure to redirect to destination

Cause: This error is reported by an interchange which fails to redirect a connection to another interchange along the path to the destination.

Action: Report the problem to your Network Administrator so that he may fix the problem.

TNS-12236: TNS:protocol support not loaded

Cause: On some platforms (such as Windows) protocol support is loaded at run-time. If the shared library (or DLL) for the protocol adapter has not been loaded, then this error is returned.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. The trace file will have the name of the shared library (or DLL) that has not been loaded.

TNS-12500: TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process

Cause: The process of starting up a dedicated server process failed. The executable could not be found or the environment may be set up incorrectly.

Action: Turn on tracing at the ADMIN level and reexecute the operation. Verify that the ORACLE Server executable is present and has execute permissions enabled. Ensure that the ORACLE environment is specified correctly in LISTENER.ORA. The Oracle Protocol Adapter that is being called may not be installed on the local hard drive. Please check that the correct Protocol Adapter are successfully linked. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12502: TNS:listener received no CONNECT_DATA from client

Cause: No CONNECT_DATA was passed to the listener.

Action: Check that the service name resolved from TNSNAMES.ORA has the CONNECT_DATA component of the connect descriptor.

TNS-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SID in CONNECT_DATA

Cause: The SID was missing from the CONNECT_DATA.

Action: Check that the connect descriptor corresponding to the service name in TNSNAMES.ORA has an SID component in the CONNECT_DATA.

TNS-12505: TNS:listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor

Cause: The listener received a request to establish a connection to a database or other service. The connect descriptor received by the listener specified a SID for an instance (usually a database instance) that either has not yet dynamically registered with the listener or has not been statically configured for the listener. This may be a temporary condition such as after the listener has started, but before the database instance has registered with the listener.

Action:
- Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.

- Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl services <listener name>

- Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance known by the listener.

- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

TNS-12508: TNS:listener could not resolve the COMMAND given

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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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 <listener name>

- Check that the SERVICE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor of the net service name used specifies a service known by the listener.

- If an easy connect naming connect identifier was used, check that the service name specified is a service known by the listener.

- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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 <listener name>

- Check that the INSTANCE_NAME parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance name known by the listener.

- Check for an event in the listener.log file.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.

TNS-12532: TNS:invalid argument

Cause: An internal function received an invalid parameter.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-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.

TNS-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 reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12535: TNS:operation timed out

Cause: The requested operation could not be completed within the time out period.

Action: Look at the documentation on the secondary errors for possible remedy. See SQLNET.LOG to find secondary error if not provided explicitly. Turn on tracing to gather more information.

TNS-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.

TNS-12537: TNS:connection closed

Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.

Action: None needed; this is an information message.

TNS-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).

TNS-12539: TNS:buffer over- or under-flow

Cause: Buffer too small for incoming data or too large for outgoing data.

Action: This restriction (which is associated with CONNECT DATA) is not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation; contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded

Cause: Too many TNS connections open simultaneously.

Action: Wait for connections to close and re-try.

TNS-12541: TNS:no listener

Cause: The connection request could not be completed because the listener is not running.

Action: Ensure that the supplied destination address matches one of the addresses used by the listener - compare the TNSNAMES.ORA entry with the appropriate LISTENER.ORA file (or TNSNAV.ORA if the connection is to go by way of an Interchange). Start the listener on the remote machine.

TNS-12542: TNS:address already in use

Cause: Specified listener address is already being used.

Action: Start your listener with a unique address.

TNS-12543: TNS:destination host unreachable

Cause: Contact can not be made with remote party.

Action: Make sure the network driver is functioning and the network is up.

TNS-12544: TNS:contexts have different wait/test functions

Cause: Two protocol adapters have conflicting wait/test functions.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation. If error persists, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-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.

TNS-12546: TNS:permission denied

Cause: User has insufficient privileges to perform the requested operation.

Action: Acquire necessary privileges and try again.

TNS-12547: TNS:lost contact

Cause: Partner has unexpectedly gone away, usually during process startup.

TNS-12630: Native service operation not supported

Cause: An operation requested by a user is not supported by the native services component.

Action: This may be an internal error if the operation should have been supported.

TNS-12631: Username retrieval failed

Cause: The authentication service failed to retrieve the name of a user.

Action: Enable tracing to determine which routine is failing.

TNS-12632: Role fetch failed

Cause: The authentication service failed to retrieve one of the user"s roles.

Action: Enable tracing to determine which routine is failing.

TNS-12633: No shared authentication services

Cause: The list of authentication services specified by the user does not match those supported by the process.

Action: Either specify another list or relink the executable with the desired services.

TNS-12634: Memory allocation failed

Cause: Process was unable to allocate memory.

Action: Terminate other processes in order to reclaim needed memory.

TNS-12635: No authentication adapters available

Cause: The executable was not linked with any authentication service adapters but the sqlnet.ora parameter that determines whether or not authentication is required was set to true.

Action: Either disable the parameter or relink the executable with service adapters.

TNS-12636: Packet send failed

Cause: A process was unable to send a packet to another process. Possible causes are:
1. The other process was terminated.

2. The machine on which the other process is running went down.

3. Some other communications error occurred.

Action: If the cause is not obvious, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12637: Packet receive failed

Cause: A process was unable to receive a packet from another process. Possible causes are:

3. Some other communications error occurred.

Action: If the cause is not obvious, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12638: Credential retrieval failed

Cause: The authentication service failed to retrieve the credentials of a user.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12639: Authentication service negotiation failed

Cause: No match was found between the types of authentication services that the client supports and those that the server is using.

Action: Possible solutions:
1. Change the entry in sqlnet.ora that determines which services are to be used.

2. Relink the client with at least one of the authentication service adapters that the server supports.

3. Relink the server with at least one of the authentication service adapters that the client supports.

4. Disable authentication on both the client and server.

TNS-12640: Authentication adapter initialization failed

Cause: The function specified in the authentication table entry for the service failed.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12641: Authentication service failed to initialize

Cause: The authentication service failed during initialization.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12642: No session key

Cause: A process has no session key associated with it because the authentication service being used does not use one.

Action: If a session key is required, use another authentication service.

TNS-12643: Client received internal error from server

Cause: The client process received an error from the server that indicated that an internal Oracle Net native services error had occurred.

Action: Enable tracing on both processes and attempt to recreate the problem. If successful in recreating the problem, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12645: Parameter does not exist.

Cause: A sqlnet.ora parameter from which a value was needed does not exist.

Action: Set the parameter in the parameter file.

TNS-12646: Invalid value specified for boolean parameter

Cause: The value specified for a parameter was set to a value other than true/false or on/off.

Action: Correct the value of the parameter.

TNS-12647: Authentication required

Cause: The parameter that controls whether authentication is required was set to true, but the executable does not have an authentication service linked in.

Action: Either re-link the executable with an authentication service adapter or disable the parameter.

TNS-12648: Encryption or data integrity algorithm list empty

Cause: An Oracle Advanced Security list-of-algorithms parameter was empty, e.g. "()".

Action: Change the list to contain the name of at least one installed algorithm, or remove the list entirely if every installed algorithm is acceptable.

TNS-12649: Unknown encryption or data integrity algorithm

Cause: An Oracle Advanced Security list-of-algorithms parameter included an algorithm name that was not recognized.

Action: Either remove that algorithm name, correct it if it was misspelled, or install the driver for the missing algorithm.

TNS-12650: No common encryption or data integrity algorithm

Cause: The client and server have no algorithm in common for either encryption or data integrity or both.

Action: Choose sets of algorithms that overlap. In other words, add one of the client"s algorithm choices to the server"s list or vice versa.

TNS-12651: Encryption or data integrity algorithm unacceptable

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.

TNS-12652: String truncated

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

Action: If it is OK that the string is truncated, then it is not an error. Otherwise, call the routine that reported the error again with a larger string buffer.

TNS-12653: Authentication control function failed

Cause: The control function utilized by the authentication service driver failed.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12654: Authentication conversion failed

Cause: The authentication service was unable to convert the credentials of a user from the format specific to the format into the ORACLE format.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12655: Password check failed

Cause: The authentication service being used was unable to verify the provided password.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-12656: Cryptographic checksum mismatch

Cause: The cryptographic checksum received with a packet of incoming data didn"t match the checksum computed by the receiving end. This indicates that the packet was tampered with or otherwise corrupted in transit.

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

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-12661: Protocol authentication to be used

Cause: The Oracle Advanced Security authentication service has determined that the Oracle Net transport protocol in use is to be utilized to authenticate a user"s identity.

Action: This error is used solely to communicate information between the authentication service and the Oracle Net session layer and should not normally be visible. If the error is seen, contact Oracle Worldwide Support.

TNS-12662: proxy ticket retrieval failed

Cause: The authentication adapter used by Oracle Net failed to retrieve the credentials needed to authenticate a database link.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error.

TNS-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).

TNS-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 solution) or delete the requirement from the configuration file of the server (least secure).

TNS-12665: NLS string open failed

Cause: A native service was unable to make a string available for use by the National Language Support component.

Action: Make sure the National Language Support component has been properly. If it has, enable tracing and report the problem to Customer Support.

TNS-12666: Dedicated server: outbound transport protocol different from inbound

Cause: The protocol specified for an externally-identified outbound connection from a dedicated server (database link) was not the same as that used for the inbound connection. It is not possible for Oracle Net to authenticate a proxy connection that uses a protocol that is different from that which was used for the connection to the dedicated server.

Action: Specify the same protocol in the Oracle Net connect descriptor for the outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection.

TNS-12667: Shared server: outbound transport protocol different from inbound

Cause: The protocol specified for an externally-identified outbound connection from a shared server (database link) was not the same as as that used for the inbound connection. It is not possible for Oracle Net to authenticate a proxy connection that uses a protocol that is different from that which was used for the connection to the shared server.

Action: Specify the same protocol in the Oracle Net connect descriptor for the outbound connection as that used for the inbound connection

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-12670: Incorrect role password

Cause: A password supplied for a role could not be validated by the authentication service.

Action: Supply the correct password.

TNS-12671: Shared server: adapter failed to save context

Cause: The adapter for the authentication service failed when it tried to save the data needed for proxy connections (database links) through the shared server.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error. Contact Oracle Customer Support if the reason is not obvious.

TNS-12672: Database logon failure

Cause: The authentication service adapter in use encountered an error it attempted to validate the logon attempt of a user.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error encountered by the adapter.

TNS-12673: Dedicated server: context not saved

Cause: A connection was marked as being a proxy connection (database link) from a dedicated server but no inbound context was present.

Action: This error should not normally be visible to the user. Contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12674: Shared server: proxy context not saved

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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-12678: Authentication disabled but required

Cause: The configuration parameters that control whether Oracle Advanced Security authentication is disabled or required were both set to TRUE.

Action: Set one or both of the parameters to FALSE.

TNS-12679: Native services disabled by other process but required

Cause: The remote process has disabled native services but the local process requires them.

Action: Enable native services on the remote process or disable them locally.

TNS-12680: Native services disabled but required

Cause: The process has disabled native services but at least one service is required.

Action: Enable native services or change the configuration file so that none of the available services are required.

TNS-12681: Login failed: the SecurID card does not have a pincode yet

Cause: The SecurID card that is used to logon to Oracle, does not have a pincode assigned to it.

Action: Use one of the programs supplied by Security Dynamics to assign a pincode to the card.

TNS-12682: Login failed: the SecurID card is in next PRN mode

Cause: The SecurID card and the SecurID server are out of sync and the server requires the next cardcode to resynchronize the card.

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

TNS-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"

TNS-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.

TNS-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.

TNS-12686: Invalid command specified for a service

Cause: An operation which does not exist was specified for a native service.

Action: This is a programming error and should not normally be visible to the user. If the error does appear, contact Oracle Customer Support.

TNS-12687: Credentials expired.

Cause: The credentials that are used to authenticate the user for the requested connection have expired.

Action: Renew your credentials. Refer to the documentation specific for your Network Authentication Adapter on how to do this.

TNS-12688: Login failed: the SecurID server rejected the new pincode

Cause: There are a number of reasons why the SecurID server would refuse a pincode:
- The user might not have permission to make up his own pincode.

- The pincode was either too short or too long. Valid pincodes consist of minimal four, but no more than eight characters.

- The pincode contains any non alphanumeric characters.

Action: Reexecute the operation and make sure to use a pincode that satisfies the above requirements. If the problem persists, turn on tracing at the Oracle Server side of the connection and examine the trace file for the exact error.

TNS-12689: Server Authentication required, but not supported

Cause: Server Authentication is required for this connection, but not supported by both sides of the connection.

Action: Make sure both sides of the connection have the correct version of Advanced Networking Option, and that the Authentication Adapter supports Server Authentication.

TNS-12690: Server Authentication failed, login cancelled

Cause: Server Authentication is required, but the server"s credentials were found invalid by the client.

Action: Make sure that the server has a valid set of credentials. Refer to your authentication adapter specific documentation on how to do this.

TNS-12696: Double Encryption Turned On, login disallowed

Cause: The user is using a Secure Protocol Adapter that has Encryption turned ON as well as ANO Encryption.

Action: Turn OFF either ANO Encryption or the Protocol Adapter Encryption if possible. Refer to Oracle Advanced Security Administrator"s Guide on how to do this.

TNS-12699: Native service internal error

Cause: An internal error occurred in the native services component.

Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error. Contact Oracle Customer Support.

44 NNC-00001 to NNC-00501

NNC-00001: maximum number of connections already open

Cause: All available name service connections are handling requests.

Action: If the problem occurs when running a name server, increase the values of names.max_open_connections. If the problem occurs in a client program, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00002: error listening on stream string

Cause: The name server was asked to listen on the specified address, and failed, probably because the address is malformed, or because it uses a SQL*Net protocol adaptor which has not been installed.

Action: Make sure the address is properly formed, and that it uses a protocol adaptor which has been installed on your system.

NNC-00003: error opening stream string

Cause: A name server or client program attempted to open a connection to another server and failed, either because the server is down, or because the network path to that server is not working. This error is usually displayed underneath an error which describes the problem in more detail.

Action: Make sure that the server being connected to is listening on the address used, and that there is network connectivity between the two end-points.

NNC-00004: connection is broken

Cause: The connection from a name server or client program to another server has been broken, either because that server has shut down, or because the network path to the server has stopped working. This error is usually displayed underneath an error which describes the problem in more detail.

Action: Make sure that the server being connected to is running and listening on the address used, and that there is network connectivity between the two end-points.

NNC-00005: cannot initialization stream subsystem

Cause: The name service stream subsystem could not be started, probably because of a missing TNS error message file.

Action: Check that SQL*Net has been installed properly and that all message files are in their proper locations.

NNC-00050: message format error

Cause: A corrupted name server message was received by a name server or the name server program interface.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00051: message content error

Cause: A corrupted name server message was received by a name server or the name server program interface.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00052: client and server protocol versions are incompatible

Cause: A name server message with an incompatible protocol version was received by a name server or the name server program interface. This problem will occur when there are clients and servers with widely varying protocol versions that are trying to communicate.

Action: upgrade older client and server software so it is compatible with newer software.

NNC-00053: ASN.1 error encountered while sending or receiving message

Cause: The name server or the name server program interface attempted to send or receive a message and failed because of an ASN.1 error.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00400: memory exhausted

Cause: The program interface has run out of memory.

Action: Add more memory or run fewer processes.

NNC-00401: program interface initialization failed

Cause: The name server program interface could not be initialised, probably because of a missing TNS or name server error message file.

Action: Check that SQL*Net has been installed properly and that all message files are in their proper locations.

NNC-00402: program interface de-initialization failed

Cause: An internal error occurred while the name server program interface was being de-initialised by an internal function.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00403: program interface has not been initialised

Cause: An internal function has attempted to de-initialise the name service program interface when it has not yet been initialised.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00404: supplied buffer of size string is smaller than minimum size string

Cause: A caller supplied the name server program interface with a memory buffer too small for the interface"s requirements. This error is usually displayed underneath an error which describes the problem in more detail.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00405: network failure

Cause: The network connection between the client program and the name server has failed, either because the server has shut down, or because the network path to the server has stopped working. This error is usually displayed underneath an error which describes the problem in more detail.

Action: Contact your name server administrator to make sure that the server being connected to is running and listening on the address used, and that there is network connectivity between the two end-points.

NNC-00406: name "string" does not exist

Cause: The user asked for information associated with a global name that does not exist.

Action: Re-try the failing operation with a global name that exists.

NNC-00407: alias loop in name request

Cause: The name service detected an "alias loop" when trying to retrieve information associated with a global name. An alias loop occurs when an alias name X points to another alias name Y, which in turn points back to X, rather than eventually to a global name which contains data.

Action: Contact your name server administrator to have the alias loop investigated and fixed.

NNC-00408: name "string" exists but desired data does not

Cause: The user asked for information associated with a global name. The name in question exists, but does not contain the desired type of information.

Action: Re-try the failing operation with a type which the desired name does contain.

NNC-00409: temporary name service failure

Cause: There are no name servers available to handle a client request, or a name server was temporarily unable to handle a client request. This situation is almost always temporary, and occurs when the program interface has issued a name server request and not received a timely response from any of its preferred servers. Such delays can occur due to transient network or name server outages or heavy load.

Action: Re-try the failing operation. If the error persists, make sure there is network connectivity between the client and its preferred name servers, and contact your name server administrator to make sure that those name servers are running.

NNC-00410: invalid preferred server address list

Cause: The names.preferred_servers parameter in sqlnet.ora is malformed.

Action: Make sure the address list is properly formatted.

NNC-00411: invalid default domain name "string"

Cause: The names.default_domain parameter in sqlnet.ora is invalid.

Action: Make sure the parameter value is a valid global name. See your documentation for the characters which may be used in a global name.

NNC-00412: invalid name "string"

Cause: The name server program interface was given an invalid global name to process.

Action: Supply a valid domain name. If the error is caused by an internal function, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00413: general failure

Cause: A name server program interface error occured which did not fall under the heading of any other more specific error condition. The error will usually be followed by more specific lower-level information.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00414: invalid name-value binding string "string"

Cause: A caller provided the name server program interface with an invalid name-value binding string value.

Action: Not normally visible to the user, except when using the name server control program. If the error occurs when using the control program, retry the failing operation with a valid name-value binding string argument. Otherwise, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00415: section identifier string is invalid, must be between string and string

Cause: An internal function has called the name server program interface with illegal arguments.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00416: user callback function returned error number string

Cause: An internal function has called the name server program interface with illegal arguments.

Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00417: name "string" already exists

Cause: A caller has attempted to create a new global name, and that name already exists.

Action: Not normally visible to the user, except when using the name server control program. If the error occurs when using the control program, retry the failing operation with a name that does not already exist. Otherwise, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00418: name "string" cannot be modified because it has children

Cause: A caller has attempted to delete or rename a global name, and that name cannot be modified because it has child names underneath it in the name space.

Action: Not normally visible to the user, except when using the name server control program. If the error occurs when using the control program, retry the failing operation with a name that is a leaf node. Otherwise, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNC-00419: authoritative server is unreachable

Cause: A name server request cannot be processed because the server which received the operation does not own the name specified in the request and cannot locate the server which does own the name. The error is almost always transient, and occurs either because the path between the server receiving the request and the request"s final destination has been interrupted, or because the final destination is down.

Action: Not normally visible to the user, except when using the name server control program. Because the error is typically a transient one, retrying the failing operation will usually work. If the failure persists, the name server which is allowed to process the failing operation is probably shut down or unreachable. Contact your name server administrator to make sure that your site"s name servers are running, and are properly configured.

NNC-00420: operation not allowed

Cause: A name server request cannot be processed because the server which received the operation is not allowed to process it. The problem typically occurs when an administrator has disabled request processing at a particular server for some reason.

Action: Contact your name server administrator to determine why server request processing has been disabled.

NNC-00421: invalid modification directive string, must be between string and string

Cause: An internal function has called the name server program interface with illegal arguments.

NNO-00257: warning: cannot get serial number from region store

Cause: The server encountered an error while trying to get the configuration database"s serial number. The error occurs almost always because time the server is unable to access the configuration database. If the error occurs during server startup, the server will shut down. If the error occurs during server operation (the server checks the serial number periodically to see if it should reload itself), then the server assumes a transient failure has occurred and repeats the operation a short while later. If the repetitions continue to fail for three days, the server will log another error and stop issuing the serial number load operation.

Action: First make sure that the Netadmin program has exported a server configuration for this name server. Next, make sure that the database is running, that its name and password as specified in the Oracle Network Manager are accurate, and that there is SQL*Net connectivity between the Oracle Names server and the database. If the error occurs during server startup, you can force startup anyway, with checkpoint data, by starting the server with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE. If no checkpoint data is available, the server will shut down.

NNO-00258: cannot load configuration from configuration database

Cause: An error was encountered while trying to load the server"s configuration from the configuration database. If more information is available, it will appear under this error. This error will cause the server to shut down.

Action: Make sure that the database is running, that its name and password as specified in the Oracle Network Manager are accurate, and that there is SQL*Net connectivity between the Oracle Names server and the database. To force the server to start up anyway, using its checkpoint data, start the server with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE. If no checkpoint data is available, the server will shut down.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the server. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00262: warning: cannot write checkpoint file "string"

Cause: the server was unable to write the named checkpoint file. This problem is typically due to the file system"s protection settings. The error is not fatal; it simply means the server will not create any checkpoint data. Note, however, that if the configuration database is ever unavailable during a future server startup, the lack of checkpoint data means you will be unable to force a startup from checkpoint data with the names.no_region_database parameter.

Action: Check to see that the server has permission to write the file named in the error message.

NNO-00263: error from configuration database

Cause: the server encountered an error while accessing the configuration database. The error can occur when the database is unavailable, or SQL*Net connectivity to the database is interrupted.

Action: Make sure that the database is running, that its name and password as specified in the Oracle Network Manager are accurate, and that there is SQL*Net connectivity between the Oracle Names server and the database. To force the server to start up anyway, using its checkpoint data, start the server with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE. If no checkpoint data is available, the server will shut down.

Cause: the server was started using checkpoint data, and was unable to read that data. The remaining errors below this one on the error stack provide more specific information about the problem.

Action: Check to see that the named file exists and that the server has permission to read it.

NNO-00266: cannot find document "string" in configuration database

Cause: The server encountered an error while trying to get its configuration ID from the configuration database. The error can occur any time the server is unable to access the configuration database. This error will cause the server to shut down.

Action: Make sure that the database is running, that its name and password as specified in the Oracle Network Manager are accurate, and that there is SQL*Net connectivity between the Oracle Names server and the database. To force the server to start up anyway, using its checkpoint data, start the server with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE. If no checkpoint data is available, the server will shut down.

NNO-00267: warning: configuration database contains no data for server "string"

Cause: the server successfully contacted the configuration database, but was unable to find any configuration information associated with the server"s name. The name is specified in the server"s names.ora configuration file. The error occurs almost always because the server configuration has not been exported from the Netadmin program.

Action: Make sure that the Netadmin program has exported a server configuration for this name server.

NNO-00268: warning: configuration database is not used, using checkpoint data instead

Cause: An informational message indicating that the server has been started with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE, and that it will use checkpoint data rather than attempting to contact the configuration database.

Action: none

NNO-00269: configuration database is version string, server requires at least version string

Cause: The server cannot use the specified configuration database because it is of an incorrect version.

Action: Run the document conversion utility supplied with the Network Manager and re-export your network. The conversion utility will upgrade old documents to a version which can be understood by the name server.

NNO-00270: ORACLE error string

Cause: An ORACLE error was encountered while accessing the configuration database. The error can occur when the database is unavailable, or SQL*Net connectivity to the database is interrupted.

Action: Make sure that the database is running, that its name and password as specified in the Oracle Network Manager are accurate, and that there is SQL*Net connectivity between the Oracle Names server and the database. To force the server to start up anyway, using its checkpoint data, start the server with the names.no_region_database parameter set to TRUE. If no checkpoint data is available, the server will shut down.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. Contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00610: detected possible alias loop involving name "string"

Cause: the server detected an alias loop involving the specified name. An alias loop occurs when an alias "X" points to another alias "Y", which points back to "X" rather than to an address or other name server data. The loop can contain more hops but the basic idea remains the same. Loops occur when administrators mis-enter network data, particularly when an alias in one administrative region points to data in another administrative region.

Action: Use the Oracle Names control program to query for the specified name. The control program will describe the alias path, and you can use that information to find which names are incorrect and what administrative regions the incorrect data belongs to.

NNO-00611: disabling request forwarding

Cause: The server"s configuration contains a forwarder description with a missing address.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. Contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00633: detected fatal delegation loop involving server "string"

Cause: the server detected a fatal delegation loop while forwarding a request. A loop occurs when the server"s topology data indicates that it should forward a request to itself. The server immediately shuts down in response to this error.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the server. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00634: received authoritative name "string" when we are its authority

Cause: a server "X" received authoritative data from another server "Y" when server "X" is also authoritative for the data. Such situations should never arise because if server "X" is authoritative for the requested data, it should never forward the request to another server.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the server. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00635: warning: ignoring duplicate forwarder "string"

Cause: The server"s default forwarder list contains a duplicate server. The duplicate is ignored and the server continues running.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. Contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00700: warning: cannot checkpoint the cache, trying again in number seconds

Cause: The server was unable to perform its normal periodic cache checkpointing, typically because the cache checkpoint file could not be written. The cache checkpoint file name appears as an informational message during server startup.

Action: Check to see that the server has permission to write the cache checkpoint file, and that there is sufficient disk space for the file to be written.

NNO-00701: warning: cannot construct checkpoint file name, checkpointing disabled

Cause: the server could not construct a system-dependent file name.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and restart the server. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNO-00702: cache checkpointing disabled

Cause: An informational message written to the log file when the server disables cache checkpointing in response to a request from the Oracle Names control program.

Action: none

NNO-00703: checkpoint interval changed to number seconds

Cause: An informational message written to the log file when the server changes its cache checkpoint interval in response to a request from the Oracle Names control program.

Action: none

NNO-00705: warning: cannot open checkpoint file "string", checkpointing disabled

Cause: the server was unable to open the named checkpoint file for writing. This problem is typically due to the file system"s protection settings. The error is not fatal; it simply means the server will not checkpoint its cache.

Action: Check to see that the server has permission to write the file named in the error message.

NNO-00706: overriding next cache checkpoint, checking in number seconds

Cause: An informational message written to the log file when the server checkpoints its cache in response to a request from the Oracle Names control program.

Action: none

NNO-00707: server"s cache will be flushed in number seconds

Cause: An informational message written to the log file when the server flushes its cache in response to a request from the Oracle Names control program.

Action: none

NNO-00708: cache flush countdown aborted

Cause: An informational message written to the log file whenever the Oracle Names control program halts a cache flush request previously sent to the server

Action: none

NNO-00709: failed delete of cache checkpoint file "string", cache flush may not work

Cause: the server attempted to flush its cache, which also deletes the cache checkpoint file. The file deletion failed, although the rest of the cache flush succeeded. Succeeding errors describe the reason for the deletion failure.

Action: This error typically occurs when two cache-flush operations are issued in succession without an intervening cache checkpoint operation (which would recreate the file). The first deletes the cache file, the second attempts to do so, but fails since the file has already been deleted. In such cases, the message is harmless and can be ignored. If, however, the error occurs because the server lacks permission to delete the file, then you must change the file system permissions so the server is allowed to delete the file.

NNO-00710: server"s cache will be dumped to the trace file in number seconds

Cause: An informational message written to the log file when the server dumps its cache to the trace file in response to a request from the Oracle Names control program.

Action: none

NNO-00711: cache dump countdown aborted

Cause: An informational message written to the log file whenever the Oracle Names control program halts a cache dump request previously sent to the server

Action: none

NNO-00712: warning: group string cache checkpoint failed

Cause: The server was unable to perform its normal periodic cache checkpointing, typically because the cache checkpoint file could not be written. The cache checkpoint file name appears as an informational message during server startup.

Action: Check to see that the server has permission to write the cache checkpoint file, and that there is sufficient disk space for the file to be written.

NNO-00800: Error: cannot read version from config database

46 NNL-00001 to NNL-01078

NNL-00001: request argument "string" is invalid

Cause: The user entered an invalid request command argument.

Action: Supply a valid argument.

NNL-00002: request argument "string" is not allowed with this operation

Cause: The user entered a request command argument which is not valid with the particular request command.

Action: Supply a valid argument.

NNL-00003: memory exhausted

Cause: The program has run out of memory

Action: Check the amount of available memory on your machine to ensure that there is enough memory to run this executable. If necessary, free up memory by running fewer programs, then try again.

NNL-00004: invalid command argument "string"

Cause: The user entered an invalid command argument.

Action: Supply a valid argument.

NNL-00005: no server has been set. Use the "SET SERVER" command first

Cause: The user attempted to issue a command which requires that a default managed Oracle Names server be set first.

Action: Use the SET SERVER command to set your default server, then reissue the command. Alternatively, if the command allows, re-issue it with a specific server name so the control program does not need to use the default.

NNL-00006: timeout, server is not responding

Cause: The control program issued a request to an Oracle Names server and no response arrived in a timely fashion. The network connection between the control program and the server may be faulty, the server may be very heavily loaded, or there may be substantial network delays between the control program and the server. The latter is especially true for WAN links.

Action: Reissue the command; if it continues to fail, check to see that the server being managed is running correctly and that the network connection between the server and the control program is working correctly.

NNL-00007: server responded with an error

Cause: The control program issued a request to an Oracle Names server and the server responded with an error.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00008: request not understood by server

Cause: The control program issued a request to an Oracle Names server and the server did not understand the request.

Action: If the server and the control program have different versions, they may be unable to communicate. Check your documentation for version compatibility constraints. If the server and control program are compatible, turn on tracing for further details, and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00009: encryption of server password failed

Cause: The control program attempted and failed to encrypt a server password, supplied either through the SET PASSWORD command or the namesctl.server_password configuration parameter.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. Contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00010: error getting address for server "string"

Cause: s for the failure. The control program"s SQLNET.ORA file must exist in the correct system-specific location, and must be readable by the control program. The file must contain a names.preferred_servers entry with valid name server addresses. If the user has changed managed servers with the SET SERVER command, the new server must be running, and must be able to resolve the address or forward the request to another server which can resolve the address. Alternatively, a TNSNAMES.ORA file with valid name server names and addresses must exist in the correct system-specific location.

Action: For further details, turn on tracing and re-execute the failing operation. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00011: no server with name "string" exists

Cause: The user issued a SET SERVER request and the current managed Oracle Names server was unable to translate that name into an address. Alternatively, the user issued a control program request to a specific server, and that server"s name could not be translated into an address. Both problems are almost always caused by mis-typing the server name.

Action: Re-issue the request with a valid server name.

NNL-00012: invalid "string" value "string"

Cause: The first argument is a data type, the second is a value. The user supplied an invalid data value of the specified type.

Action: Re-issue the failing operation with correct data.

NNL-00013: not performed, permission denied for supplied password

Cause: The user issued a request to an Oracle Names server, and the password supplied with the request was incorrect.

Action: Check to see that the password sent by the control program to the server is correct for that server. You can set a new password with the SET PASSWORD control program command.

NNL-00014: unknown data type "string"

Cause: The user issued a name server request which contained an unknown data type.

Action: It is possible that the server had no information on the type, but automatically fetched it in response to the failing request. Re-issue the failing request; if the server has in the meantime fetched the appropriate data type information, the error will go away. If the error persists, the data type is probably invalid.

NNL-00015: type "string" has "string" syntax, which has no textual representation

Cause: Not all data type syntaxes can be represented as text. This message indicates that the user issued a name server request for a type with an non-textual representation.

Action: Re-issue the operation with a data type that has a syntax with a textual representation.

NNL-00016: cannot start server, error getting program directory"s name

Cause: The user issued a STARTUP request, but the control program was unable to start the server because it was unable to find the name of the directory where the server executable resides.

Action: An internal error not normally visible to the user. Contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00017: cannot start server, program "string" does not exist

Cause: The user issued a STARTUP request, but the control program was unable to start the server because it was unable to find the server executable.

Action: Make sure that a copy of the server executable exists in your system"s oracle executable directory.

NNL-00018: warning: could not contact default name server

Cause: The control program was unable to contact its default name server during startup. There are a number of possible causes for this error. The control program"s SQLNET.ORA file must exist in the correct system-specific location, and must be readable by the control program. The file must contain a names.preferred_servers entry with valid name server addresses. The first server in the preferred-server list must be running, and there must be network connectivity between the control program and that server.

Action: Check to see that all of the above are true. If the control program is still unable to contact its default server, turn on tracing and restart the control program. If the error persists, contact Worldwide Customer Support.

NNL-00019: warning: server either changed or ignored your request

Cause: The user issued a request to an Oracle Names server and that request was altered in some way. Typically the user specified an invalid argument of some sort, and the server either ignored the request, or replaced the invalid argument with a reasonable default.

Action: Use the control program to check the current state of the value that you attempted to change. The server"s log file may also contain information about the exact cause of the problem. Re-issue the operation with correct arguments.

NNL-00020: warning: no TNSNAMES.ORA file and no preferred name servers in SQLNET.ORA

Cause: The control program was unable to find a TNSNAMES.ORA file and was unable to find a default name server in SQLNET.ORA. The control program will operate in this state, but will be unable to resolve any names until a default server has been set, and that server must be set using its raw TNS address.

Action: The control program"s SQLNET.ORA file must exist in the correct system-specific location, and must be readable by the control program. The file must contain a names.preferred_servers entry with valid name server addresses. The first server in the preferred-server list must be running, and there must be network connectivity between the control program and that server. Alternatively, a TNSNAMES.ORA file with valid name server information must exist in the correct system-specific location.

NNL-00022: error changing trace level from string to string, level change ignored

Cause: The user attempted to change the control program"s local trace level, and the program encountered an error while changing the level. Usually the problem is that tracing was enabled for the first time (by changing the trace level from OFF to something else) and the trace file is not writeable by the control program.

Action: Check to see that the trace file is writeable. Your documentation will tell you the name of the trace file.

NNL-00023: SET command is missing an argument

Cause: A request was made that all types in the database schema are to database.

Action: List the types to be processed in an INTYPE file. Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2F-00336: Error reported by subsystem:

Cause: A request was made to generate declarations for all the types in a database schema. An error occurred in a subsystem when accessing the database.

Action: Examine the error message reported by the sybsystem to determine its cause. List the types to be processed in an INTYPE file.

O2F-00337: Schema not found, or no types found in schema

Cause: A request was made to generate declarations for all the types in a database schema. Either the schema was not found, no user-declared types were found in the schema, or unable to connect to Oracle.

Action: Ensure that a login/password string was specified for OTT and that the Oracle database can be accessed with it. Ensure that the USER_TYPES table contains at least one row.

O2F-00338: Illegal or missing package name

Cause: A legal Java package name was expected following IN or PACKAGE or IN PACKAGE, but was not seen.

Action: Use a legal Java package name.

O2F-00339: CODE option has an illegal value

Cause: The value given for the CODE option in the INTYPE file is not legal.

Action: Change the value given for the CODE option to one of the following legal values: C, ANSI_C, KR_C, JAVA, NATIVE_JAVA, ORACLE_JAVA.

O2F-00340: Name was null

Cause: A name had a length of 0 characters.

Action: This error should never be reported to the user. Contact ORACLE customer support.

53 O2I-00101 to O2I-00133

O2I-00101: Invalid value for the USERID parameter

Cause: The value supplied for the USERID parameter is not a legal <username>/<password>[@<databasename>] string.

Action: Set the USERID option to the correct <username>/<password> or <username>/<password>@<database name> combination to use when connecting to the database. If you have an OPS$ account, you may instead omit the USERID option, in which case OTT will attempt to connect to the database using the userid OPS$<username>. The USERID option may be specified on the command line or in a CONFIG file.

O2I-00102: Unable to connect to Oracle

Cause: OTT could not connect to Oracle with the username, password, and, if applicable, database link that was supplied. Either the USERID option value was incorrect, or, if the USERID was not supplied, the userid OPS$<username> was not accepted.

Action: Check that the username and password are current and correct. Run another program that connects to Oracle to verify that you can connect using that username and password.

O2I-00103: Two file names refer to the same HFILE file in the INTYPE file

Cause: Two different file names have been used in the INTYPE file to refer to the same HFILE file, or different file names have been used to refer to the same HFILE file on the command line and in the INTYPE file.

Action: Consistently refer to each HFILE file using the same file name.

O2I-00110: Internal error in OTT component O2I

Cause: An internal OTT error occurred in the O2I component of OTT.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2I-00111: Unable to allocate memory

Cause: OTT was unable to allocate memory.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2I-00112: Unable to write to the HFILE file

Cause: An operating system error occurred when attempting to write to the HFILE file.

Action: Make sure you have operating system permission to write to the file. Also, make sure disk space is available.

O2I-00113: No HFILE specified

Cause: The HFILE file to which C declarations generated by OTT are written was not specified.

Action: Specify the global HFILE option on the command line or in a CONFIG file. You may choose a different HFILE for a particular type by specifying a different HFILE in the INTYPE file entry describing the type. If every INTYPE file entry specifies an HFILE, and if none of the types in the HFILE require declarations of types not mentioned there, the global HFILE option may be omitted. An INTYPE file generated by a previous invocation of OTT satisfies these conditions.

O2I-00114: Invalid HFILE file name

Cause: An HFILE file name was specified that is not syntactically correct.

Action: Make sure the HFILE filename is spelled correctly.

O2I-00115: Error opening the HFILE file

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to open the HFILE file for writing.

Action: Make sure the HFILE filename is spelled correctly. Try creating or modifying the HFILE to make sure you have write access to the file.

O2I-00116: Unable to close the HFILE file

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to close the HFILE file.

Action: Try creating or modifying the HFILE file to make sure you are able to access the file.

O2I-00117: Internal error: No message file for component O2U

Cause: The message file for the internal OTT component O2U was not found. OTT may not be correctly installed.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2I-00118: This user-defined type was not found in the database

Cause: A user-defined type specified in the INTYPE file was not found in the database.

Action: Make sure the name of the type is spelled correctly. Make sure the type is actually declared in the database.

O2I-00119: Warning reported by subsystem:

Cause: A subsystem invoked by OTT reported a warning. This warning immediately follows the "Warning reported by subsystem" message.

Action: Examine the warning reported by the subsystem to determine its cause.

O2I-00120: Error reported by subsystem:

Cause: A subsystem invoked by OTT reported an error. This error immediately follows the "Error reported by subsystem" message.

Action: Examine the error message reported by the sybsystem to determine its cause.

O2I-00121: No value was specified for the CODE option

Cause: The required CODE option was not specified on the command line or in a configuration file.

Action: Specify the CODE option on the command line or in a configuration file. Currently, the following values of the CODE option are supported: CODE=ANSI_C, CODE=KR_C, CODE=C

O2I-00122: Invalid filename for the INITFILE file

Cause: The filename specified for the INITFILE file is not syntactically correct.

Action: Make sure the filename of the INITFILE file is spelled correctly.

O2I-00123: Unable to close the INITFILE file

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to close the INITFILE file.

Action: Try opening the INITFILE file with an editor to make sure the file can be accessed.

O2I-00124: Error opening the INITFILE file for writing

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to open the INITFILE file for writing.

Action: Make sure the INITFILE filename is spelled correctly. Try creating or modifying the INITFILE file to make sure you have write access to the file.

O2I-00125: Error writing to the INITFILE file

Cause: An operating system error occurred when attempting to write to the INITFILE file.

Action: Make sure you have operating system permission to write to the file. Also, make sure disk space is available.

O2I-00126: You must specify an INTYPE file with SCHEMA_NAMES=FROM_INTYPE

Cause: The option SCHEMA_NAMES=FROM_INTYPE requests that schema names be written to the OUTTYPE file as given in the INTYPE file. However, an INTYPE file was not specified.

Action: Either supply the name of an INTYPE file, or specify the SCHEMA_NAMES option ALWAYS or IF_NEEDED.

O2I-00127: Illegal INITFUNC name

Cause: The name of the INITFUNC function is not a legal C or C++ identifier.

Action: Specify the name of the INITFUNC function as a legal C or C++ identifier. This name may be given in the INTYPE file, given on the command line, or derived from the INITFILE name.

O2I-00128: Unable to write to the Java file

Cause: An operating system error occurred when attempting to write to a Java source file.

Action: Make sure you have operating system permission to write to the file. Also, make sure disk space is available.

O2I-00129: No Java file specified

Cause: The file to which Java declarations generated by OTT are written was not specified.

Action: This message should never be seen, because Java files are named after the classes declared within them. Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2I-00130: Invalid Java file name

Cause: A Java file name was specified that is not syntactically correct.

Action: Make sure the Java filename is spelled correctly.

O2I-00131: Error opening a Java file

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to open a Java file for writing.

Action: Make sure the filename is spelled correctly. Try creating or modifying the file to make sure you have write access to the file.

Cause: An operating system error occurred while attempting to close a Java file.

Action: Try creating or modifying the Java file to make sure you are able to access the file.

O2I-00133: An error occurred for which no message is available

Cause: The cause of this error was not reported.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

54 O2U-00200 to O2U-00212

O2U-00200: Internal error in OTT facility O2U

Cause: An internal OTT error occurred in the O2U facility of OTT.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2U-00201: Illegal arguments to function o2upt()

Cause: Illegal arguments were passed to the function o2upt(). This is an internal error that should not be encountered by an end user.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2U-00202: Invalid data passed to function

Cause: Arguments with incorrect values were passed to the function o2upt(). This is an internal error that should not be encountered by the end user.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2U-00203: Type to be declared must be an object type or a named collection type

Cause: You have asked OTT to generate code for a type it does not support. When generating Java code, OTT will only generate code for object types. When generating C declarations, OTT will only generate declarations for object types and named collection types.

Action: You are probably asking OTT to declare a built-in type, or, if you are generating Java code, a named collection type. Do not ask OTT to generate a declaration for this type.

O2U-00204: Unable to convert from the database character set to the compiler character set

Cause: The name of a type, attribute, or method cannot be converted from the client character set in effect when OTT was invoked to the compiler character set (typically ASCII or EBCDIC).

Action: A name is translated first from the database character set to the client character set, and then from the client character set to the compiler character set. The client character set is specified in a platform-dependent manner (On UNIX platforms, the client character set is specified by setting the NLS_LANG environment variable.) Use a client character set that includes the character set of the INTYPE file and can be translated to the compiler character set. The database character set is one such character set. Specify synonyms in the INTYPE file for any names of database objects that cannot be successfully translated to the client character set.

O2U-00205: None of the characters in a type name were legal identifier characters

Cause: None of the characters in the name of a user-defined type could be translated to a character that can begin a C or C++ identifier, such as a letter or an underscore.

Action: Specify an explicit translation for the type name in the INTYPE file.

O2U-00206: Some characters in a type name were not legal identifier characters

Cause: One or more characters in the name of a user-define type could not be translated to a character that can appear in a C or C++ identifier, such as a letter, an underscore, or a digit. The characters that could not be translated were replaced with underscores.

Action: Specify an explicit translation for the type name in the INTYPE file, or just use the translated type name with added underscores.

O2U-00207: None of the characters in an attribute name were legal identifier characters

Cause: None of the characters in the name of an attribute of a type could be translated to a character that can begin a C or C++ identifier, such as a letter or an underscore. To find the affected attribute, look in the declaration generated for this type for data member names that are obviously incorrect.

Action: Specify an explicit translation for the attribute name in the INTYPE file.

O2U-00208: One or more characters in an attribute name were not legal identifier characters

Cause: If an attribute name contains one or more characters that can not be translated to a legal C or C++ identifier character, the characters that can not be translated are replaced with underscores. To find the affected attribute or attributes, look in the declaration generated for this type for data member names that have extra underscores not present in the original attribute names.

Action: Specify explicit translations for the affected attribute names in the INTYPE file, or just use the translated attribute names with added underscores.

O2U-00209: Attribute or function name to be translated was not found

Cause: This name, for which a translation was requested, is not the name of an attribute or a function of the current type.

Action: Make sure that the name is spelled correctly, and is the name of an attribute or function defined in the current type.

O2U-00210: Unable to allocate memory

Cause: OTT was unable to allocate memory.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

O2U-00211: A type without attributes was translated

Cause: OTT translated a type without attributes. The corresponding C-type will be a struct without any components, which is not legal C. The empty type in the database may be the result of an error during type creation. Additionally, incomplete types may be used temporarily in the creation of types that reference one another.

Action: Re-create a full version of the type in the database and then re-run OTT.

O2U-00212: An error occurred for which no message is available

Cause: The cause of this error was not reported.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

55 PCB-00001 to PCB-00903

PCB-00001: %s

Cause: This is a generic error message from the command-line processor.

Action: Correct the indicated error.

PCB-00002: Command line processor severe error

Cause: The command line processor encountered a severe error.

Action: After making sure that all the command-line options are specified correctly, call customer support with a full account of all the options and configuration files used.

PCB-00003: Value of DBMS option invalid with given value of MODE option

Cause: When MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13}, DBMS=V7 or V8 was specified, or when MODE=ANSI, DBMS=v6 was specified. These option settings are incompatible. Note that the DBMS option was not available before release 1.5 of the Oracle Precompilers.

Action: With DBMS=V7 or V8, instead of MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13}, specify MODE={ANSI | ORACLE}. With DBMS=V6, instead of MODE=ANSI, specify MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13 | ORACLE}, but MODE=ORACLE is recommended.

PCB-00004: UNSAFE_NULL=YES must be used with DBMS=V7 or V8 and MODE=ORACLE

Cause: The option UNSAFE_NULL=YES has been used with DBMS=V6 or DBMS=NATIVE (the default) or has been used with MODE=ANSI/ANSI14/ANSI13.

Action: Use DBMS=V7 or V8 and MODE=ORACLE (the default) when using UNSAFE_NULL=YES or do not use UNSAFE_NULL=YES.

PCB-00005: Command line option MODE=ANSI required with option NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: The precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=YES was used without also specifying MODE=ANSI. The precompiler option MODE=ANSI must be specifiied if NLS_LOCAL=YES.

Action: Set the precompiler option MODE=ANSI in addition to NLS_LOCAL=YES or do not set NLS_LOCAL=YES.

PCB-00006: Userid only used when SQLCHECK=FULL, userid ignored.

Cause: The USERID option was specified when SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | NONE}. This is unnecessary.

Action: Specify the USERID option only when SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

PCB-00007: %s

Cause: This is a generic error message from the command-line processor.

Action: Correct the indicated error.

PCB-00008: Must use option SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS(FULL) when there is embedded PL/SQL

Cause: The precompiler tried to parse an embedded PL/SQL block when SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | NONE}. PL/SQL blocks can be parsed only when SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS is specified.

Action: Remove the PL/SQL block or specify SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

PCB-00009: Cannot change MAXLITERAL after an EXEC SQL statement

Cause: The MAXLITERAL option has been used in an inline EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement after and EXEC SQL, EXEC TOOLS, or EXEC IAF statement. This is not allowed.

Action: Use the MAXLITERAL option only on the command line or in an EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement placed at the beginning of the input source file.

PCB-00010: SQLCHECK value in EXEC ORACLE statement exceeds command line value

Cause: The SQLCHECK option was entered inline and specified a level of checking higher than the level specified (or accepted by default) on the command line. This is not allowed. For example, if SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | LIMITED} is specified on the command line, SQLCHECK={SEMANTICS | FULL} cannot be specified inline. This informational message is; the precompiler ignores the inline value and continues processing.

Action: Revise the EXEC ORACLE statement or specify a lower level of checking on the command line.

PCB-00011: DBMS=V6 no longer supported; using DBMS=NATIVE

Cause: V6 compatibility is no longer supported. The precompiler will precompile as though DBMS=NATIVE was specified.

Action: Revise the specified DBMS option value from v6 to another value as desired.

PCB-00012: Command line option DYNAMIC=ANSI required with option TYPE_CODE=ANSI

Cause: The precompiler option TYPE_CODE=ANSI was used without also specifying DYNAMIC=ANSI. The precompiler option DYNAMIC=ANSI must be specifiied if TYPE_CODE=ANSI.

Action: Set the precompiler option DYNAMIC=ANSI in addition to TYPE_CODE=ANSI or do not set TYPE_CODE=ANSI.

PCB-00100: Unable to reopen temporary file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to reopen a temporary file. Some possible causes follow:
o File access privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCB-00101: Could not find or open system configuration file

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the system configuration file. The system configuration file does not exist or is not in the proper directory.

Action: Check that the system configuration file is in the proper directory. See Oracle installation documentation for where this should be. Put a new copy of pcccob.cfg with desired default options in the proper directory.

PCB-00102: Input file name length exceeds the maximum length

Cause: The file name length specified exceeded the maximum length. Some operating systems have a maximum file name length.

Action: Use a file name of length less than or equal to the maximum platform specific file name length.

PCB-00104: Unable to open input file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the input file specified by the INAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File access privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCB-00105: Included file name "string" exceeds name limit of number characters

Cause: The file name length specified exceeded the maximum length. Some operating systems have a maximum file name length.

Action: Use a file name of length less than or equal to the maximum platform specific file name length.

PCB-00106: Unable to open INCLUDE file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the input file specified in the INCLUDE statement. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File access privileges are insufficient.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges to access the file have been granted, and that it is not locked by another user. Also, check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCB-00108: Unable to open list file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the list file specified by the LNAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File acces privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager). If a listing file is not needed, specify LTYPE=NONE on the command line.

PCB-00109: Unable to open generated source file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the output file specified by the ONAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File acces privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCB-00110: Unable to open temporary file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open a file for temporary use. Some possible causes follow:
o File acces privileges are insufficient.

o A file of the same name already exists and is locked.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager). "200 - 299, Host variable errors."

PCB-00200: Cannot equivalence PIC N or PIC G variable "string"

Cause: A PIC N/G variable, an implicit VARCHAR group item with a PIC N/G elementary item, or a group item with a PIC N/G elementary item was used in an EXEC SQL VAR statement. This is not allowed.

Action: Do not use the PIC N variable in an EXEC SQL VAR statement. If you want an equivalence to an Oracle type using an EXEC SQL VAR statement, use a PIC X variable, instead of a PIC N variable.

PCB-00201: Indicator variable string not a group item

Cause: The host variable is a group item containing tables. Indicator variables used with this type of host variable must be group items of tables of indicators corresponding the the tables in the group item host variable.

Action: Change the indicator variable to be a group item of indicator tables.

PCB-00202: Indicator variable string not a group item or table

Cause: The host variable is a group item. Indicator variables used with this type of host variable must be a group item or table of indicator variables.

Action: Use a group item or table of indicator variables.

PCB-00203: Nested group item "string" not supported

Cause: The variable used as a host variable was a group item which itself contained other group items.

Action: Remove any group items from the group item to be used as a host variable.

PCB-00204: Group items cannot be used except in INTO or VALUES clause

Cause: A group item host variable was used outside of an INTO or VALUES clause. A group item host variable may be used only in an INTO or VALUES clause.

Action: Do not use a group item outside of an INTO or VALUES clause.

PCB-00205: Cannot use PIC N or PIC G variable in PL/SQL when NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: A PIC N or PIC G variable was used in an embedded PL/SQL block when the precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=YES was used. A PIC N or PIC G variable is not supported in this situation.

Action: Do not use the PIC N or PIC G variable within the PL/SQL block or use precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=NO.

PCB-00206: Cannot use N quoted literal in PL/SQL when NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: A "N" literal (a literal of the form N"...") was used within a PL/SQL block when the precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=YES was used. N literals are not supported in this situation.

Action: Use an ordinary literal (one without the "N") within the PL/SQL block or use precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=NO.

PCB-00207: Invalid use of PIC N or PIC G table variable when NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: A PIC N variable was declared using an OCCURS clause. Tables of PIC N variables are not supported when NLS_LOCAL=YES.

Action: Declare the PIC N variable without an OCCURS clause or, do not use the PIC N variable in any SQL statements.

PCB-00208: Incorrect type for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable of unsupported datatype was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Use a host variable of a supported datatype.

PCB-00209: Scale is not supported for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable whose format does not support scaling was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block. The following formats do not support scaling: PIC S9(n) COMP PIC S9(n) COMP-4 PIC S9(n) COMP-5 PIC S9(n) BINARY PIC 9(n) COMP

Action: Remove the scale or use a datatype that support scaling.

PCB-00210: DISPLAY-1 only allowed with PIC G and PIC N variables "string"

Cause: A variable declared with DISPLAY-1 in the usage clause without PIC G or PIC N in the picture clause was used in a SQL statement.

Action: Replace DISPLAY-1 with DISPLAY or change the picture clause to use PIC N or PIC G.

PCB-00211: VARYING not supported with PIC N or PIC G variable "string"

Cause: The keyword VARYING was used in a PIC N variable declaration.

Action: Remove the keyword VARYING from the variable declaration. If you want to declare a PIC N VARCHAR variable, specify the precompiler option VARCHAR=YES and declare the variable as an implicit VARCHAR group item as illustrated by the following example: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. ... 01 ENAME. 05 ENAME-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP. 05 ENAME-ARR PIC N(20). ... EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC.

PCB-00212: PICTURE clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with a PIC clause and COMP-1 or COMP-2 was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the PIC clause or use a datatype other than COMP-1 or COMP-2 in the declaration of the variable.

PCB-00214: JUSTIFIED clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with a JUSTIFIED clause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the JUSTIFIED clause from the variable declaration.

PCB-00215: OCCURS TO TIMES clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with an OCCURS clause with the TO TIMES subclause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the TO TIMES subclause from the variable declaration.

PCB-00216: OCCURS ASCENDING/DESCENDING clause not allowed for "string"

Cause: A variable declared with an OCCURS clause with the ASCENDING or DESCENDING KEY IS subclause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the ASCENDING or DESCENDING KEY IS subclause from the variable declaration.

PCB-00217: OCCURS INDEXED clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with an OCCURS INDEXED clause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the OCCURS INDEXED clause from the variable declaration.

PCB-00218: RENAMES clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with a RENAMES clause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the RENAMES clause from the declaration.

PCB-00219: Invalid size specified in EXEC SQL VAR statement

Cause: A size which is specified which is not valid for the specified data type.

Action: Specify a size which is valid for the specified type.

PCB-00220: Invalid scale specified in EXEC SQL VAR statement

Cause: A scale which is specified which is not valid for the specified data type.

Action: Specify a scale which is valid for the specified type.

PCB-00221: OCCURS DEPENDING ON clause not allowed for host variable "string"

Cause: A variable declared with an OCCURS clause with the DEPENDING ON subclause was used in a SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

Action: Remove the DEPENDING ON subclause from the variable declaration.

PCB-00222: Size for host variable string exceeds maximum size

Cause: A variable declared with PIC S9(n), with n greater than what is allowed on the given platform, was used in an embedded sql statement. On 32 bit machines n must not exceed 9, and on 64 bit machines, n must not exceed 18.

Action: Use a smaller number in the picture clause that does not exceed the maximum allowed size on your platform or use COMP-3.

PCB-00223: Undeclared variable "string"

Cause: A variable used in a SQL statement was not declared or its name is misspelled or if option DECLARE_SECTION=YES the declaration was not in a DECLARE SECTION.

Action: Add or correct the variable declaration.

PCB-00224: Ambiguously referenced variable "string"

Cause: There is more than one variable of the same name and the qualification given was insufficient to determine which variable the reference was to.

Action: Use more complete qualification in the variable reference.

PCB-00225: Undeclared SQL identifier "string"

Cause: The name of a descriptor, statement, or cursor was not declared or is misspelled, or was declared as a different kind of SQL identifier.

Action: Add or correct the descriptor, statement, or cursor declaration.

PCB-00226: SQL identifier "string" already defined

Cause: The SQL identifier (cursor name, statement name, etc.) has already been defined in another way.

Action: Use a different name for this use of the name.

PCB-00227: Undeclared indicator variable "string"

Cause: An indicator variable used in a SQL statement was not declared in the Declare Section or its name is misspelled.

Action: Add or correct the indicator variable declaration.

PCB-00228: Invalid group item variable "string"

Cause: An unacceptable group item variable was used in a SQL statement. or its name is misspelled.

Action: Correct the group item variable declaration or its use in the SQL statement.

PCB-00229: Indicator variable "string" has wrong type or length

Cause: An indicator variable was not declared in the Declare Section as a 2-byte integer. Indicator variables must be defined as 2-byte integers.

Action: Redefine the indicator variable as a 2-byte integer.

PCB-00230: Indicator table size must not be less than its host variable

Cause: An host variable table was used with an indicator table declared with a smaller dimension. For example: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. 01 EMP-NUM OCCURS 4 TIMES PIC S9(4) COMP. 01 EMP-NUM-IND OCCURS 2 TIMES PIC S9(4) COMP. EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. ... SELECT ... INTO EMP-NUM:EMP-NUM-IND ...

Action: Increase the size of the indicator table.

PCB-00231: Host and indicator variables may not have the same name.

Cause: In an EXEC SQL statement, an indicator variable had the same name as a host variable. The names of a host variable and its associated indicator variable must be different. Also, an indicator variable cannot be used as a host variable.

Action: Rename the host or indicator variable.

PCB-00232: Tables not allowed as input bind variables in SELECT statement

Cause: A host table was used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT-INTO statement or in the SELECT list of a SELECT-INTO statement.

Action: Rewrite the SELECT statement without using tables or use a cursor.

PCB-00233: Table size mismatch in INTO/USING. Minimum is: number

Cause: The size of an table variable in an INTO/USING clause is too small for the number of rows processed.

Action: Declare all table variables in the INTO/USING clause to have at least the minimum dimension given.

PCB-00234: FOR variable "string" is invalid type

Cause: The count variable in a FOR clause has the wrong datatype. The datatype must be NUMBER or LONG (or be compatible with NUMBER or LONG).

Action: Check the declaration and check that the count variable has a datatype of NUMBER or LONG (or a compatible Oracle or host-language datatype).

PCB-00235: Table size mismatch in INTO/USING. Minimum is: number

Cause: The size of a table variable in an INTO/USING clause of a dynamic EXECUTE statement has been ARRAYLEN...EXECUTE"d while the other host variable has not and is not a table of dimension 1 or a plain non-table host variable. Example: 01 X PIC X(10) OCCURS 10. 01 Y PIC S9(4) COMP OCCURS 10. 01 Z PIC S9(4) COMP. ... EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN X (DIM) EXECUTE END-EXEC. ... EXEC SQL EXECUTE S1 USING :X, :Y END-EXEC. <-- error EXEC SQL EXECUTE S1 USING :X, :Z END-EXEC. <-- ok Please note that this error differs from 233 in that it is an ERROR not a WARNING.

Action: ARRAYLEN...EXECUTE all of the table variables in the INTO/USING clause or those host variables not ARRAYLEN...EXECUTEd need to be of dimension 1.

PCB-00236: Cannot use PIC N/G variable. NLS_NCHAR not set or set incorrectly.

Cause: To use PIC N or PIC G variables as host variables, both of the environment variables NLS_LANG and NLS_NCHAR must be set with correct values. One of the following problems has occurred which prevents Pro*COBOL from accepting PIC N and PIC G variables as host variables: 1) One or both of NLS_LANG and NLS_NCHAR are not set at all. 2) NLS_LANG is not set with a valid language, territory, or character set. 3) NLS_NCHAR is not set to a valid NCHAR character set. 4) The character set specified by NLS_NCHAR is not a fixed width character set. Pro*COBOL can only use fixed width character sets for PIC N or PIC G host variables.

Action: Set the NLS_NCHAR environment variable to a valid fixed width character set name. Set NLS_LANG with a valid language, territory, and character set.

PCB-00237: Declaration of "string" cannot have a level number greater than 48

Cause: A VARYING or SQL-CURSOR declaration has been encountered which has the level number greater than 48.

Action: Change the level to 48 or less.

PCB-00238: Element of this table group item host variable cannot be a table

Cause: A group item that is a table and having an element that is a table was used in a SQL statement.

Action: Remove the OCCURS clause from the element of the group item.

PCB-00239: Element of a table group item indicator cannot be table or group item

Cause: A group item that is a table and used as an indicator has an element that is a table or group item.

Action: Change the nested table or group item in the indicator so that it is an elementary item.

PCB-00240: Group item containing this host variable cannot be table

Cause: An elementary item belonging to a group item with an OCCURS clause has been referenced. This is not allowed.

Action: Change the elementary item used to an item that is not an element of a table of group items.

PCB-00241: A host variable is required here

Cause: The COUNT item in the dynamic SQL statement must be a host variable but is not.

Action: Use a host variable in the COUNT item of the dynamic SQL statement.

PCB-00242: A host variable or exact numeric constant is required here

Cause: The particular item in the dynamic SQL statement is required to be a host variable or exact numeric (integer) constant, but is not.

Action: Change the item in the dynamic SQL statement to use a host variable or exact numeric constant. "300 - 399: FIPS flagging error messages."

PCB-00300: Datatype for host variable not supported by ANSI "string"

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO standard was used. Specifically, aa pointer or nonconforming datatype such as VARCHAR was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. 01 USERNAME PIC X(10) VARYING. EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: none

PCB-00301: Use of non-ANSI function is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a non-ANSI function was used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this function.

PCB-00302: This statement is not supported by ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a nonconforming SQL statement such as PREPARE was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL PREPARE SQL-STMT FROM :HV END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the nonconforming statement.

PCB-00303: Dynamic SQL and PL/SQL are Oracle extensions to ANSI SQL

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, dynamic SQL or embedded PL/SQL was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL EXECUTE BEGIN SELECT ... END; END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use dynamic SQL or embedded PL/SQL.

PCB-00304: Oracle extension to the WHENEVER statement

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a nonconforming keyword such as NOTFOUND, STOP, RAISE, or DO was used in the WHENEVER statement. (Note that NOT FOUND is ANSI-compliant.) For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR STOP END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the nonconforming keyword.

PCB-00305: Oracle extension to the COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the parameter RELEASE, COMMENT, or FORCE were used in a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL ROLLBACK RELEASE END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the nonconforming parameter.

PCB-00306: CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE/PACKAGE/TRIGGER are Oracle extensions

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, one of the following statements was used:
o CREATE FUNCTION

o CREATE PROCEDURE

o CREATE PACKAGE

o CREATE TRIGGER This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use any of these statements.

PCB-00307: DROP TABLE statement is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the DROP TABLE statement was used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the DROP statement.

PCB-00308: FOR clause is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the FOR clause was used in an table-processing SQL statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL FOR :LIMIT INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, JOB, DEPTNO) VALUES (:EMPNUM, :JOB, :DEPTNO) END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the FOR clause.

PCB-00309: The CONNECT statement is Oracle implementation dependent

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the CONNECT statement was used to log on to ORACLE. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL CONNECT :USERNAME IDENTIFIED BY :PSSWORD END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, specify the AUTO_CONNECT command-line option instead of using a CONNECT statement.

PCB-00310: AT clause is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the AT <db_name> clause was used in a SQL statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL AT oracle3 COMMIT RELEASE END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the AT <db_name> clause.

PCB-00311: Datatype equivalencing is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the EXEC SQL VAR statement was used.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCB-00312: Keyword WORK required here by ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the keyword WORK was used in a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL COMMIT WORK RELEASE END-EXEC. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the keyword WORK.

PCB-00313: TO SAVEPOINT clause is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the TO SAVEPOINT <save_id> clause was used in a ROLLBACK statement.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the TO SAVEPOINT clause.

PCB-00314: DECLARE DATABASE is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the DECLARE DATABASE statement was used.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00315: DECLARE TABLE is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the DECLARE TABLE statement was used.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00316: SQL FORMS statements are Oracle extensions

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the one of the following statements was used:
o EXEC IAF GET

o EXEC IAF PUT

o EXEC TOOLS GET

o EXEC TOOLS SET This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use any of these statements.

PCB-00317: Group item host variables are Oracle extensions

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a group item variable was used as a host variable. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use group items as host variables.

PCB-00318: ARRAYLEN is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the ARRAYLEN statement was used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00319: EXEC ORACLE statements are an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, an EXEC ORACLE statement was used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00320: VARYING host variable "string" is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a variable declared of VARYING type was used in a SQL statement. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00321: Implicit varchar host variables are an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, an iimplicit varchar variable was used in a SQL statement. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement.

PCB-00322: EXEC SQL LOB statements an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, an EXEC SQL LOB statement was used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use this statement. "400 - 499, Tokenizer or parsing errors."

PCB-00400: %s

Cause: A syntax error was found.

Action: Do the appropriate action to fix the indicated error.

PCB-00401: Character string not properly terminated

Cause: The character string was not terminated with a quote or apostrophe as appropriate or line continuation was not correct.

Action: Check that the character string is terminated properly and that line continuation syntax is correct.

PCB-00402: Pseudo-text not properly terminated

Cause: A block of pseudo-text has not been properly terminated with "==".

Action: Terminate the pseudo-text at the appropriate place with "==". "500 - 649, Other semantic errors grouped by these features: threads, result set cursors, miscellaneous, pl/sql (includes arraylen), exec tools and lobs."

PCB-00403: EXEC statement cannot begin in Area A

Cause: An EXEC statement began in Area A (before column 12).

Action: Shift the EXEC statement to the right to start it in Area B (in or after column 12).

PCB-00404: %s

Cause: A syntax error was found.

Action: Do the appropriate action to fix the indicated error. "500 - 524, Threads"

PCB-00500: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement encountered

Cause: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement was encountered and the option threads=yes was requested.

Action: Ensure that the necessary context variable (of type sql-context) has been declared, ALLOCATEd, and USEd prior to any executable SQL statements.

PCB-00501: Runtime context variable "string" not of correct type

Cause: The runtime context variable referenced in an EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement is not of type sql_context.

Action: Declare your runtime context variable of type sql_context.

PCB-00502: This statement can only be used with THREADS=YES

Cause: EXEC SQL ENABLE THREADS has been used, even though option THREADS is set to NO.

Action: Specify option THREADS=YES or remove the EXEC ENABLE THREADS statement from the source code. "525 - 549, Result Set Cursors"

PCB-00525: Use of the AT clause is not permitted here

Cause: An explicit AT clause was used with an ALLOCATE statement or a FETCH/CLOSE statement also using a sql-cursor declaration.

Action: Remove the AT clause. "550 - 574, Miscellaneous"

PCB-00550: Unable to log on to ORACLE with "string". ORACLE error number: number

Cause: The precompiler was unable to log on to ORACLE with the specified username and password. An ORACLE error with given number occurred when the logon was attempted.

Action: .

PCB-00551: The SQLCA has already been included

Cause: The precompiler has encountered an include SQLCA statement after SQLCA has already been included. The SQLCA can only be included once.

Action: Remove the duplicate include SQLCA statement.

PCB-00552: The SQLCA and a SQLCODE variable cannot both be used

Cause: The SQLCA has been included and a SQLCODE variable has been declared. This is not allowed as references to the SQLCODE variable are ambiguous and will result in COBOL compiler errors.

Action: Use either the SQLCA or the SQLCODE variable. Remove either the include of the SQLCA or the SQLCODE variable declaration.

PCB-00553: FOR clause not allowed on this statement

Cause: A FOR clause was used with a SELECT, LOB, or DEALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR statement. A FOR clause cannot be used with these statements. In the case of a SELECT statement, data returned from the last loop in the execution of the SELECT would overwrite data returned in a previous loop.

Action: Remove the FOR clause from the statement. Use a host language construct to iteratively execute the statement.

PCB-00554: Must include SQLCA when mode=ANSI and WHENEVER SQLWARNING used

Cause: When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, an attempt was made to use the WHENEVER SQLWARNING statement without declaring the SQLCA. When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, declaring the SQLCA is optional, but to use the WHENEVER SQLWARNING statement, the SQLCA must be declared.

Action: Remove all WHENEVER SQLWARNING statements from the program or declare the SQLCA by hardcoding it or copying it into the program with the INCLUDE statement.

PCB-00555: Using WHERE CURRENT OF on cursor defined without FOR UPDATE clause

Cause: if mode=ORACLE, then a cursor defined with a WHERE CURRENT OF clause must also have a FOR UPDATE clause.

Action: Rewrite the cursor definition.

PCB-00556: Unrecoverable error. Fix previous errors and re-precompile

Cause: A fatal parsing error or token stack overflow error has been encountered.

Action: Fix the syntax error that is causing the parsing error.

PCB-00557: USING clause can only be used on a PREPAREd dynamic statement

Cause: A severe semantics error occurred because the USING clause was used with the OPEN cursor statement and the cursor declaration is not for a PREPAREd statement. The correct sequence of statements should be like: EXEC SQL prepare sv from :sel_stmt END-EXEC. EXEC SQL declare csv cursor for sv END-EXEC. EXEC SQL open csv USING :hv1, :hv2 END-EXEC.

Action: Use the prepare statement for the sql statement and use that in the declare cursor statement.

PCB-00558: Invalid external datatype specified in EXEC SQL VAR statement

Cause: An invalid external datatype was specified in the EXEC SQL VAR statement.

Action: Specify a valid external datatype. "575 - 599, PL/SQL (including ARRAYLEN)"

PCB-00575: PLS-number: string

Cause: Refer to the indicated PL/SQL error message for the indicated condition.

Action: Refer to the indicated PL/SQL error message to correct the SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

PCB-00576: PLS-number: string

Cause: The precompiler found an error in an embedded SQL statement or PL/SQL block.

Action: Refer to the indicated PL/SQL error message to correct the SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

PCB-00577: Use of ARRAYLEN with host tables in SQL statements is ignored

Cause: ARRAYLEN is only valid with PL/SQL.

Action: Use an appropriate table type.

PCB-00578: Variable "string" must be a table

Cause: In an ARRAYLEN statement, the name of a previously declared host table was not specified. The first host variable in an ARRAYLEN statement must be a table. The second host variable, which specifies an array dimension, must be a 4-byte integer. The correct syntax follows: EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN HTABLE (DIM) END-EXEC. The ARRAYLEN statement must appear along with, but somewhere after, the declarations of host_table and dimension.

Action: Check the spelling of both identifiers in the ARRAYLEN statement. If necessary, supply the missing host table name.

PCB-00579: Invalid ARRAYLEN length variable type for "string"

Cause: A valid table dimension was not specified in an ARRAYLEN statement. The table dimension must be specified using a previously declared 4-byte integer host variable, not a literal or expression. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN ETABLE (25) END-EXEC. -- illegal dimension

Action: Supply a valid table dimension. If necessary, declare a 4-byte integer host variable for use in the ARRAYLEN statement.

PCB-00580: Previous use of host variable "string" uses different indicator

Cause: Within a PL/SQL statement, a host variable was used with two different indicator variables or was used with an indicator variable in one instance and without an indicator in another instance.

Action: Change all references to the host variable so that they all use the same indicator variable or all use no indicator variable.

PCB-00581: "string" used as both host variable and indicator

Cause: Within a PL/SQL statement, the variable was used as both a host variable and an indicator variable.

Action: Use different variables for host variables and indicator variables. "600 - 624, EXEC TOOLS"

PCB-00600: indicators are not allowed in EXEC IAF statements

Cause: Indicator variables associated with host variables cannot be used in EXEC IAF statements such as GET and PUT in a user exit.

Action: Eliminate the indicator variables. If feasible (for example with Forms V4), use EXEC TOOLS statements, which do allow indicator variables. See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for more information of EXEC IAF and EXEC TOOLS statements.

PCB-00603: An EXEC TOOLS MESSAGE host variable is not a character type

Cause: If a host variable is used to specify the message in an EXEC TOOLS MESSAGE statement, that host variable must be of a character type.

Action: Declare the message to a host variable of a char type. "625 - 649, EXEC SQL LOB statements"

PCB-00625: An indicator variable is not required with this attribute

Cause: In a LOB DESCRIBE, an indicator variable was used with a host variable when retrieving a LOB attribute that does not require one.

Action: Remove the indicator variable.

PCB-00626: Incompatible LOB types

Cause: A LOB operation was attempted between LOBs whose types were not compatible. For example, When ASSIGNing one LOB to another, both LOBs must be of the same type. If they are not, this error results.

Action: Correct the LOB operation by having it function between LOBs of the same type. This may require a redeclaration of one of the LOBs used in the LOB statement performing the specified operation.

PCB-00627: Host variable is not of character type

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be of the required character type. In this case, one of several possible character types would have been accepted. However, the host variable type did not match any of them.

Action: Redeclare the problematic host variable, using one of the permitted character types.

PCB-00628: Buffer type is incompatible with LOB type

Cause: This error can occur in either of the following situations
1. An attempt to READ from a LOB into a buffer whose type was not compatible with the LOB type.

2. An attempt to WRITE a buffer into a LOB whose type was not compatible with the buffer type.

Action: Either the LOB type or the buffer type needs to be changed so that the LOB and buffer types become compatible for the specified operation.

PCB-00629: Host variable is not of Internal LOB type

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be an internal LOB. BLOB, CLOB or NCLOB are internal lob types.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using one of the internal LOB types.

PCB-00630: Host variable is not of LOB type

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be any type of LOB, Internal or External. BLOB, CLOB or NCLOB are internal lob types. BFILE is an external type.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using any of the LOB types, Internal or External.

PCB-00631: Host variable is not an External LOB

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be an External LOB. BFILE is an external type.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using an External LOB type (BFILE).

PCB-00632: Cannot open an External LOB in READ WRITE mode

Cause: An attempt was made to OPEN a BFILE in READ WRITE mode. Writable BFILEs are currently not supported so this operation is considered erroneous.

Action: Do not open BFILEs using READ WRITE mode. BFILEs can only be OPENed in READ ONLY mode.

PCB-00633: Invalid host variable and attribute pairing

Cause: The host variable and attribute pairing in a LOB DESCRIBE was invalid. Most likely, this was due to some problem with the host variable. For example, this error could occur if the host variable was not declared.

Action: Usually, other, more specific, errors will accompany this one. Correcting some or all of those problems should resolve this error.

PCB-00635: This attribute is only valid for Internal LOB types

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given LOB was not of some Internal LOB type.

Action: Replace the LOB host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE with one that was declared to be an Internal LOB.

PCB-00636: This attribute is only valid for External LOB types

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given LOB was not an External LOB type (BFILE).

Action: Use an External LOB (BFILE) host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE statement.

PCB-00637: Host variable is not an exact binary integer

Cause: A host variable was given that was not declared to be of some acceptable exact binary integer type. Generally, when this error occurs, a signed or unsigned integer type was expected. Floating point or otherwise imprecise numeric types are considered erroneous.

Action: Replace the problematic host variable with one that was declared using a proper binary integer type.

PCB-00638: This attribute is only valid for internal or external LOB types

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given source was not an internal or external LOB type.

Action: Use a LOB host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE statement.

PCB-00639: Cannot specify destination offset in a LOB WRITE APPEND

Cause: A destination offset was specified in a LOB WRITE APPEND statement. The destination offset is assumed to be the end of the LOB so specifying an explicit destination offset is erroneous.

Action: Remove the destination offset from the LOB WRITE APPEND statement. "700 - 725, Dynamic SQL error conditions"

PCB-00700: This statement can only be used with DYNAMIC=ANSI

Cause: One of the following statements was used without specifying DYNAMIC=ANSI:
o EXEC SQL ALLOCATE/DEALLOCATE/GET/SET DESCRIPTOR

o EXEC SQL DESCRIBE OUTPUT/INPUT ... USING ... <descriptor name>

o EXEC SQL EXECUTE ... INTO ...

o EXEC SQL EXECUTE ... USING... <descriptor name>

o EXEC SQL OPEN ... INTO ...

o EXEC SQL OPEN ... USING... <descriptor name>

o SCROLL in DECLARE CURSOR

o EXEC SQL FETCH <orientation> ... where <orientation> is NEXT, PRIOR, FIRST, LAST, ABSOLUTE, or RELATIVE

Action: Specify DYNAMIC=ANSI or remove statement(s) like those above.

PCB-00701: MAX OCCURRANCES must be between 1 and 65535

Cause: The value specified in the WITH MAX clause of an EXEC SQL ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR statement was less than 1 or greater than 65535

Action: Specifiy a value between 1 and 65535 inclusive

PCB-00702: Out-of-range item number

Cause: The value specified in the VALUES clause of an EXEC SQL GET/SET DESCRIPTOR statement was less than one or greater than 65535.

Action: Specify a value between 1 and 65535. "900 - 1000, Fatal error conditions"

PCB-00901: Pro*COBOL internal error condition detected (Code = number)

Cause: Pro*COBOL had detected an abnormal condition in its internal data structures. This error message should not normally ever be produced. Customer service should be contacted to report the error.

Action: Correct any other errors which have been reported. If the internal error still exist, examine the source code where the condition was detected and try modifying in some way. Possibly this will alleviate the internal error condition.

PCB-00902: Unable to read message file, facility PCB

Cause: Pro*COBOL was unable to access the message file containing message text. The file is possibly corrupt.

Action: Contact customer support for information on reinstalling the Pro*COBOL message files.

PCB-00903: Pro*COBOL is unable to initialize its parser function

Cause: Pro*COBOL was unable to access the message file containing message text. The file is possibly corrupt.

Action: Contact customer support for information on reinstalling the Pro*COBOL message files.

56 PCC-00001 to PCC-01515

PCC-00001: Unable to open file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open a temporary file for internal use. There might be insufficient disk space, too many open files, or read-only protection on the output directory.

Action: Check that there is enough disk space, that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager) and that protection on the directory allows opening a file for writing.

PCC-00002: Invalid syntax at column number in line number of file string

Cause: There is a syntax error in an EXEC statement or the statement is not properly terminated.

Action: Correct the syntax of the EXEC statement. If the error occurred at the end of the input file, check that the last EXEC statement is properly terminated.

PCC-00003: Invalid SQL Identifier at column number in line number of file string

Cause: The symbol in a conditional precompilation statement (such as EXEC ORACLE IFDEF) is invalid, or the name of a SQL descriptor, statement, or cursor is invalid or was not properly declared.

Action: Check the statement syntax and spelling of the identifier and check that a reserved word was not accidentally used. If necessary, define the identifier in a variable declaration or DECLARE statement ahead of the line in error.

PCC-00004: Mismatched IF/ELSE/ENDIF block at line number in file string

Cause: There is an EXEC ORACLE ELSE or EXEC ORACLE ENDIF statement without a matching EXEC ORACLE IFDEF statement.

Action: Add the missing EXEC ORACLE IFDEF statement or deletee or move the EXEC ORACLE ELSE or EXEC ORACLE ENDIF statement.

PCC-00005: Unsupported datatype in line number of file string

Cause: A host variable defined in the Declare Section has an unsupported datatype or has a scale or precision outside the supported range.

Action: Redefine the host variable using a supported datatype. Check that the scale and precision of a numeric variable are in the accepted range.

PCC-00007: Invalid WHENEVER condition at column number in line number of file string

Cause: A condition other than SQLERROR, SQLWARNING, or NOT FOUND was specified in an EXEC SQL WHENEVER statement, or one of these was used, but spelled incorrectly.

Action: Correct the spelling of the WHENEVER condition or use a host- language IF statement to test the special condition.

PCC-00008: Invalid WHENEVER action at column number in line number of file string

Cause: At lease one of the following:
o An action other than CONTINUE, DO, GOTO, or STOP was specified in an EXEC SQL WHENEVER statement.

o One of the specified actions was spelled incorrectly.

o The host language does not allow the action (STOP is illegal in Pro*Pascal programs).

o A GOTO label is invalid.

Action: Check that the host language allows the specified WHENEVER action. If necessary, correct the spelling of the WHENEVER action or correct the GOTO label.

PCC-00009: Invalid host variable at column number in line number of file string

Cause: A host variable used in an EXEC SQL statement was not declared in the Declare Section or has an unsupported datatype.

Action: Declare the host variable in the Declare Section, making sure it has one of the supported datatypes.

PCC-00010: Statement out of place at line number in file string

Cause: An EXEC statement was not placed properly in the host program. For example, there might be a data manipulation statement in the Declare Section. In a Pro*COBOL program, the Declare Section might be outside the WORKING-STORAGE or LINKAGE SECTION.

Action: Remove or relocate the statement.

PCC-00011: Already in a declare section at line number in file string

Cause: A BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement was found inside a Declare Section.

Action: Remove the extra BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement.

PCC-00012: Not in a declare section at line number in file string

Cause: An END DECLARE SECTION statement without a matching BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement was found. Either the BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement is missing or misspelled or the END DECLARE SECTION statement is an extra.

Action: Add or correct the BEGIN DECLARE SECTION statement or remove the extra END DECLARE SECTION statement.

PCC-00013: Unable to open include file "string" at line number in file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the input file specified in the INCLUDE statement. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File access privileges are insufficient.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges to access the file have been granted, and that it is not locked by another user. Also, check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCC-00014: Undeclared SQL Identifier "string" at line number in file string

Cause: The name of a descriptor, statement, or cursor was not declared or is misspelled.

Action: Add or correct the descriptor, statement, or cursor declaration.

PCC-00015: Unrecognized Host Language syntax ignored at line number in file string

Cause: The host language syntax used to define a host variable in the Declare Section is incorrect.

Action: Check the syntax and the spelling, then correct the declaration.

PCC-00016: Unable to open a cursor at line number in file string

Cause: The syntax in a SQL statement is faulty. The precompiler was expecting a host variable, but found something else.

Action: Check the syntax and the spelling, then correct the SQL statement.

PCC-00017: Unable to parse statement at line number in file string

Cause: There is a syntax error in an array declaration. The precompiler was expecting a right bracket (]) but found something else.

Action: Check the syntax, then correct the array declaration.

PCC-00018: Expected "string", but found "string" at line number in file string

Cause: The syntax in a SQL statement is faulty. The precompiler found an unexpected or illegal token.

Action: Check the syntax and the spelling, then correct the SQL statement.

PCC-00019: Unable to obtain bind variables at line number in file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to find information about an input host variable (bind variable) used in a SQL statement.

Action: Check that the input host variable is declared in the Declare Section and used properly in the SQL statement.

PCC-00020: Unable to obtain define variables at line number in file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to find information about an output host variable (define variable) used in a SQL statement.

Action: Check that the output host variable is declared in the Declare Section and used properly in the SQL statement.

PCC-00021: Oracle Error: string

Cause: An Oracle error occurred.

Action: Refer to the indicated message in the ORA message chapters of this manual.

PCC-00022: Out of space - unable to allocate number bytes

Cause: The precompiler process ran out of memory.

Action: Allocate more memory to the process, then retry.

PCC-00023: Unable to log off from ORACLE

Cause: An Oracle connection error occurred while the precompiler was trying to log off, probably because ORACLE has been shut down.

Action: Check that ORACLE is available, then retry.

PCC-00024: Indicator variable "string" has wrong type or length at line number in file string

Cause: An indicator variable was not declared in the Declare Section as a 2-byte integer. Indicator variables must be defined as 2-byte integers.

Action: Redefine the indicator variable as a 2-byte integer.

PCC-00025: Undeclared indicator variable "string" at line number in file string

Cause: An indicator variable used in a SQL statement was not declared in the Declare Section or its name is misspelled.

Action: Add or correct the indicator variable declaration.

PCC-00026: Invalid host variable "string" at line number in file string

Cause: A host variable used in a SQL statement was not declared properly. Some possible causes follow:
o It was not declared in the Declare Section.

o Its datatype is not supported.

o Its name is misspelled.

o It is a COBOL group item; in Pro*COBOL, only elementary items are allowed in a SQL statement.

Action: Add or correct the host variable declaration.

PCC-00027: Redeclared SQL Identifier "string" at line number in file string

Cause: The name of a SQL descriptor, statement, or cursor was re-declared (that is, declared twice)

Action: Check the spelling of the identifier, then, if necessary, remove the extra declaration.

PCC-00028: Option "string" not legal as EXEC ORACLE OPTION

Cause: A precompiler option was specified inline in an EXEC ORACLE statement. Some options can be specified only on the command line. For example, INAME cannot be specified inline.

Action: Respecify the precompiler option on the command line, instead of in an EXEC ORACLE statement. To see an online display of the precompiler options, enter the precompiler command (with no options) at the operating-system prompt.

PCC-00029: Ambiguous option "string"

Cause: The name of a precompiler option was abbreviated ambiguously. For example, MAX= might refer to MAXLITERAL or MAXOPENCURSORS.

Action: Respecify the full option name or an unambiguous abbreviation. To see an online display of the precompiler options, enter the precompiler command (with no options) at the operating-system prompt.

PCC-00031: Invalid value given for option "string"

Cause: The value specified for a precompiler option is invalid, probably because the value is misspelled (as in LTYPE=HORT) or out of range (as in PAGELEN=-55).

Action: Check the value, making sure it is spelled correctly and within the legal range.

PCC-00032: Invalid option "string"

Cause: The precompiler found an invalid precompiler option name. Some possible causes follow:
o The option name is misspelled.

o The specified option does not exist.

o The equal sign (=) between the option name and value is missing or has space around it.

Action: Check that the option exists and that its name is spelled correctly. To see an online display of the precompiler options, enter the precompiler command (with no options) at the operating- system prompt. Also check that there is an equal sign between the option name and value.

PCC-00033: Missing operand for option "string"

Cause: No value was specified for a precompiler option. Either the value is missing or there is space around the equal sign (as in LTYPE =SHORT).

Action: Check that a value for each option has been specified and there is no space around the equal sign.

PCC-00036: No input file name specified

Cause: The input file was not specified on the command line.

Action: Use the INAME command-line option to specify the input file.

PCC-00037: Unable to log on to ORACLE with "string". ORACLE error number: number

Cause: The precompiler was unable to log on to ORACLE with the specified username and password. An ORACLE error with given number occurred when the logon was attempted.

Action: Refer to the indicated message in the ORA message chapters of this manual.

PCC-00038: Unable to open a cursor

Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.

Action: Call customer support for assistance. If the application does not require syntactic or semantic checking of SQL statements and does not use PL/SQL, specify SQLCHECK=NONE on the command line.

PCC-00039: Unable to open input file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the input file specified by the INAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File access privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCC-00040: Unable to open listing file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the listing file specified by the LNAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File acces privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager). If a listing file is not needed, specify LTYPE=NONE on the command line.

PCC-00041: Unable to open output file "string"

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the listing file specified by the ONAME precompiler option. Some possible causes follow:
o The filename is misspelled.

o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File acces privileges are insufficient.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, that sufficient privileges have been granted to access the file, and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCC-00042: Must EXEC SQL INCLUDE SQLCA when mode=ANSI and WHENEVER SQLWARNING used

Cause: When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, an attempt was made to use the WHENEVER SQLWARNING statement without declaring the SQLCA. When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, declaring the SQLCA is optional, but to use the WHENEVER SQLWARNING statement, the SQLCA must be declared.

Action: Remove all WHENEVER SQLWARNING statements from the program or declare the SQLCA by hardcoding it or copying it into the program with the INCLUDE statement.

PCC-00044: Array size mismatch in INTO/USING. Minimum is: string(number:number)

Cause: The size of an array variable in an INTO/USING clause is too small for the number of rows processed.

Action: Declare all array variables in the INTO/USING clause to have at least the minimum dimension given.

PCC-00045: %s clause inappropriate at line number in file string. Ignored.

Cause: There is a misplaced clause at the end of an EXEC SQL statement (an AT clause at the end of a SELECT statement, for example), or the

Action: Check the statement syntax, then relocate or correct the misplaced or invalid clause.

PCC-00047: Unterminated comment/string constant beginning near line number in file string

Cause: A string constant is missing an ending quotation mark, or a comment is missing an ending delimiter.

Action: Check that all comments are delimited and all string constants are enclosed by quotation marks.

PCC-00050: Unable to generate descriptor in program unit ending line number in file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to generate a descriptor for the compilation unit. This can occur from either of the following:
o A non-existent or improperly implemented Declare Section

o Undetected syntax errors near the beginning of the source file or just before the END DECLARE SECTION statement

Action: Verify that the Declare Section is properly implemented. Then check for syntax errors at the beginning of the compilation unit and before any END DECLARE SECTION statement, and correct as appropriate.

PCC-00051: Size of VARCHAR string is larger than 65533 in line number in file string

Cause: The declared size of a VARCHAR host variable exceeds the precompiler limit of 65533 bytes.

Action: Check the Declare Section, making sure the size of each VARCHAR variable does not exceed the limit of 65533 bytes.

PCC-00053: FOR variable string is invalid type at line number in file string

Cause: The count variable in a FOR clause has the wrong datatype. The datatype must be NUMBER or LONG (or be compatible with NUMBER or LONG).

Action: Check the declaration and check that the count variable has a datatype of NUMBER or LONG (or a compatible Oracle or host-language datatype).

PCC-00054: Expected End-of-Statement at column number in line number of file string

Cause: The precompiler expected to find a statement terminator at the end of an EXEC statement but found something else. This can happen if tabs were embedded in the source code (because the precompiler has no way of knowing how many spaces a tab represents).

Action: If tabs are embedded in the source ocde, replace them with spaces. Check the statement syntax and check that each EXEC statement has a terminator. For embedded CREATE {FUNCTION | PROCEDURE | PACKAGE} statements and for embedded PL/SQL blocks, check that the statement terminator is END-EXEC.

PCC-00055: Array "string" not allowed as bind variable at line number in file string

Cause: A host array was used as a bind (input) variable in the WHERE clause of a SELECT statement. This is not allowed.

Action: Remove the host array or replace it with a simple host variable.

PCC-00056: FOR clause not allowed on SELECT statement at line number in file string.

Cause: A FOR clause was used with a SELECT statement. This is not allowed as data returned from the last loop in the execution of the SELECT overwrites data returned in a previous loop.

Action: Remove the FOR clause from the SELECT statement and use a host- language construct to iteratively execute the SELECT statement.

PCC-00060: Both CURSOR and STATEMENT have AT clauses at line number of file string.

Cause: Two AT clauses, one in a DECLARE STATEMENT statement, the other in a DECLARE CURSOR statement, pertain to the same SQL statement. The AT clause may be specified with either DECLARE STATEMENT or DECLARE CURSOR, but not with both.

Action: Remove the AT clause from one of the statements.

PCC-00061: Error at line number, column number. PLS-number: string

Cause: The precompiler found an error in an embedded SQL statement or PL/SQL block.

Action: Refer to the indicated PL/SQL error message to correct the SQL statement or embedded PL/SQL block.

PCC-00062: Must use option SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS(FULL) when there is embedded PL/SQL

Cause: The precompiler tried to parse an embedded PL/SQL block when SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | NONE}. PL/SQL blocks can be parsed only when SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS is specified.

Action: Remove the PL/SQL block or specify SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

PCC-00063: Reached end of file string before End-of-Statement at line number!

Cause: The precompiler encountered an end-of-file while parsing a PL/SQL block.

Action: Add the appropriate statement terminator (;) or end-of-block statement (END;) to the PL/SQL block.

PCC-00064: All uses of a given host variable must use identical indicator variables.

Cause: Two or more occurrences of a host variable in an EXEC SQL statement were associated with different indicator variables. This is not allowed.

Action: Rename the indicator variables so that each occurrence of the host variable is associated with the same indicator variable.

PCC-00065: Userid required, but not specified.

Cause: The SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS option was specified, but the USERID option on the command line was not specified.

Action: Specify USERID=username/password or enter a username and password when prompted or specify SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | NONE}.

PCC-00066: Userid only used when SQLCHECK = FULL, userid ignored.

Cause: The USERID option was specified when SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | NONE}. This is unnecessary.

Action: Specify the USERID option only when SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

PCC-00067: Ireclen exceeded. Line number in file string truncated.

Cause: While reading the input file, the precompiler found a line longer than IRECLEN.

Action: Either shorten the input line or specify a larger IRECLEN value on the command line.

PCC-00068: Host and indicator variables may not have the same name.

Cause: In an EXEC SQL statement, an indicator variable had the same name as a host variable. The names of a host variable and its associated indicator variable must be different. Also, an indicator variable cannot be used as a host variable.

Action: Rename the host or indicator variable.

PCC-00069: Host variable "string" has unsupported datatype at line number in file string

Cause: A host variable had an unsupported datatype. For a list of supported datatypes, see the language-specific supplement to the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers.

Action: Redefine the host variable in the Declare Section, giving it a supported datatype.

PCC-00070: Illegal syntax, Exponential value in SQL statement: string

Cause: The precompiler found a syntax error while parsing a number coded in scientific notation. The precompiler expected to find a signed integer following the exponentiation indicator (E), but found something else.

Action: Reformat the number correctly.

PCC-00071: Unable to open message file.

Cause: The precompiler was unable to open the message file containing the messages that can be issued by the precompiler. This can happen if there are too many open files or if there were problems with installation of the precompiler.

Action: Check that the limit for open files is high enough (check with the system manager). Otherwise, contact customer support.

PCC-00072: Input file name length exceeds the maximum length

Cause: The file name length specified exceeded the maximum length. Some operating systems have a maximum file name length.

Action: Use a file name of length less than or equal to the maximum platform specific file name length.

PCC-00073: Cursor is declared but never OPENed at line number in file string.

Cause: A cursor was DECLAREd but was not referenced in an OPEN statement. This is only an informational message.

Action: Remove the cursor declaration or code an OPEN statement for the cursor.

PCC-00075: ":" expected before indicator variable

Cause: An indicator variable was not prefixed with a colon, as required.

Action: Prefix a colon to the indicator variable in question.

PCC-00076: DISPLAY type must be SIGN LEADING SEPARATE

Cause: This message is issued only by Pro*COBOL. DISPLAY SIGN LEADING SEPARATE is the only DISPLAY type supported by Pro*COBOL.

Action: Check the spelling of the variable declaration. If necessary, remove the reference to the unsupported DISPLAY type.

PCC-00077: Colon usage with numeric label in WHENEVER statement is not ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extenstion to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a numeric WHENEVER ... GOTO label was prefixed with a colon. For exammple the code might have looked like EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR GOTO :99; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, prefix alphanumeric (but not numeric) WHENEVER ... GOTO labels with a colon.

PCC-00078: FIPS warning: Invalid ANSI SQL Identifier

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the name given to a host variable:
o is longer than 18 characters,

o does not begin with a letter, or

o contains consecutive or trailing underscores. In the following Pro*C example, the host variable name is 19 characters long and therefore non-compliant: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int department_location: -- not ANSI/ISO compliant EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, change the host variable name so that it is <= 18 characters long, begins with a letter, and does not contain consecutive or trailing underscores.

PCC-00079: ANSI requires colon on label in WHENEVER statement

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, an alphanumeric WHENEVER ... GOTO label was not prefixed with a colon. For example the offending code might look like: EXEC SSQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND GOTO no_more; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, prefix alphanumeric (but not numeric) WHENEVER ... GOTO labels with a colon.

PCC-00080: TYPE identifier already TYPEd

Cause: The identifier being TYPEd in an EXEC SQLY TYPE statement appeared in a previous EXEC SQL TYPE statement. A given identifier can appear in only one EXEC SQL TYPE statement.

Action: Check the spelling of the identifiers. Use different identifiers in the EXEC SQL TYPE statements, or remove one of the EXEC SQL TYPE statements.

PCC-00081: Scale specification not allowed for given datatype

Cause: The Oracle external datatype referenced in an EXEC SQL VAR or EXEC SQL TYPE statement does no allow a scale specification.

Action: Check the precision specification and remove the scale specification.

PCC-00082: Length and scale specifications must be an integer

Cause: A floating point number or a non-number to specify a length or scale was used. Only integers can be used.

Action: Correct or remove the length and/or scale specification.

PCC-00083: Bind and define variables not allowed in CREATE statement

Cause: Host variables cannot appear in a CREATE statement. If the makeup of a CREATE statement cannot be known until run time, a dynamic SQL statement must be used to execute it. That is, the program must accept or build the CREATE statement at run time, store it in a host string, then EXECUTE it.

Action: Correct or remove the erroneous CREATE statement.

PCC-00085: Error writing to file string

Cause: The precompiler was unable to write to the named output file. Some possible causes follow:
o Sufficient file access privileges were not defined.

o Another user has locked the file.

o There is not enough disk space.

o There are too many open files.

Action: Check that sufficient privileges exist to access the file and that it is not locked by another user. Also check that there is enough disk space and that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with system manager).

PCC-00086: Source file string has zero length

Cause: The source file specified on the command line contains no code. Consequently, there is nothing for the precompiler to process.

Action: Specify a valid source file containing embedded SQL statements.

PCC-00087: EXEC SQL TYPE statement not allowed for this host language

Cause: An EXEC SQL TYPE statement was used with a host language that does not support user-defined datatype equivalencing. This feature is available only in Pro*C and Pro*Pascal.

Action: Remove the offending EXEC SQL TYPE statement.

PCC-00088: User defined type identifier expected

Cause: The user-defined datatype name in an EXEC SQL TYPE statement is missing or misspelled, is a reserved word, is not a legal identifier in the host-language or conflicts with a base datatype in that language.

Action: Check the spelling of the user-defined datatype name. If necessary, declare a valid user-defined datatype. User-defined datatype equivalencing is available only in Pro*C and Pro*Pascal.

PCC-00089: Invalid Oracle TYPE specification

Cause: The Oracle external datatype name in an EXE SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement is missing or misspelled.

Action: Check the spelling of the external datatype name. If necessary, supply the missing datatype name.

PCC-00090: Precision/scale specification must be given for DECIMAL datatype

Cause: A precision and/or scale specification for the Oracle external datatype DECIMAL in an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement was omitted.

Action: Add the precision and/or scale specification to the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00091: TYPE statement requires format specification for this Oracle datatype

Cause: A length, precision, and/or scale specification for an Oracle external datatype in an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement was omitted.

Action: Add the length, precision, and/or scale specification for the external datatype to the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00092: Length and/or scale incompatible with specified Oracle datatype

Cause: An invalid length or scale for an Oracle external datatype in an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement was specified.

Action: Check that a length large enough to accommodate the external datatype is specified. If a scale is specified, check that it lies in the range -84..99.

PCC-00093: Invalid or obsolete option, ignored

Cause: The precompiler found an option available in a prior version or different host language but not in the current version or host language.

Action: Remove the option specification.

PCC-00094: Array length for char[n] datatype must be >= 2

Cause: When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, a length of less than 2 characters for a char[n] host variable was specified or a simple char variable was specified. When MODE={ANSI | ANSI14}, the length must be at least 2 characters. This message is issued only by the Pro*C precompiler.

Action: Correct the declaration so that it specifies a length of at least 2 characters.

PCC-00095: Missing PROGRAM, SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, or BLOCK DATA statement

Cause: FORTRAN source files are expected to have at least one PROGRAM, SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, or BLOCK DATA statement, which the precompiler uses to detect the beginning of a routine or compilation unit.

Action: Add one of these statements to the source file.

PCC-00096: Array FETCH not allowed for mode=ANSI14

Cause: When MODE=ANSI14, an array SELECT or FETCH was attempted. However, array operations are not allowed with MODE=ANSI14.

Action: If MODE=ANSI14 must be specified, place the SELECT or FETCH statement in a host-language loop, instead of using the array interface.

PCC-00097: Use of DECIMAL and DISPLAY types allowed only for COBOL and PL/I

Cause: The DECIMAL and DISPLAY external datatype was used in an EXEC SQL VAR or EXEC SQL TYPE statement with an Oracle precompiler other than Pro*COBOL or PRO*PL/I. These external datatypes are available only in Pro*COBOL and PRO*PL/I.

Action: Remove the reference to the DECIMAL or DISPLAY external datatype from the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00098: Scale specification cannot be used in this context

Cause: In a Pro*C, Pro*FORTRAN, Pro*Pascal program, scale in an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement in the current context cannot be specified.

Action: Remove the scale specification from the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00099: Length cannot be given for types ROWID, DATE, or MLSLABEL

Cause: A length for the ROWID, DATE, or MLSLABEL external datatype was specified in an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement. This is unnecessary because those are fixed length types.

Action: Remove the length specification from the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00100: Non integer label is not ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a non-integer WHENEVER ... GOTO label was in a Pro*Pascal program. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND GOTO quit; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, use only integer WHENEVER... GOTO labels in a Pro*Pascal program.

PCC-00101: Lower case "e" in floating point number is not ANSI

Cause: A Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a lowercase "e" was used in scientific notation. For example, the offending code might look like: maxnum = 10e38; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, use an uppercase "E" in scientific notation.

PCC-00102: FOR UPDATE is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the FOR UPDATE OF clause was used in a cursor declaration. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL DECLARE emp_cursor CURSOR FOR SELECT ENAME, SAL FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO = :dept_number FOR UPDATE OF SAL; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the FOR UPDATE OF clause.

PCC-00103: AT clause is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the AT <db_name> clause was used in a SQL statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL AT oracle3 COMMIT RELEASE; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the AT <db_name> clause.

PCC-00104: FOR clause is an Oracle extension

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the FOR clause was used in an array-processing SQL statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL FOR :limit INSERT INTO EMP (EMPNO, JOB, DEPTNO) VALUES (:emp_number, :job_title, :dept_number); This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the FOR clause.

PCC-00105: Keyword WORK required here by ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the keyword WORK was used in a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL COMMIT WORK RELEASE; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the keyword WORK.

PCC-00106: RELEASE is an Oracle extension to the COMMIT and ROLLBACK statements

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the parameter RELEASE was used in a COMMIT or ROLLBACK statement. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL ROLLBACK RELEASE; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the parameter RELEASE;

PCC-00107: The CONNECT statement is Oracle implementation dependent

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, the CONNECT statement was used to log on to ORACLE. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL CONNECT :username IDENTIFIED BY :password; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, specify the AUTO_CONNECT command-line option instead of using a CONNECT statement.

PCC-00108: This statement is not supported by ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a nonconforming SQL statement such as PREPARE was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL PREPARE sql_statement FROM :sql_string; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the nonconforming statement.

PCC-00109: Dynamic SQL and PL/SQL are Oracle extensions to ANSI SQL

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, dynamic SQL or embedded PL/SQL was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL EXECUTE BEGIN SELECT ... END; END-EXEC; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use dynamic SQL or embedded PL/SQL.

PCC-00110: Oracle extension to the WHENEVER statement

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a nonconforming keyword such as NOTFOUND, STOP, RAISE, or DO was used in the WHENEVER statement. (Note that NOT FOUND is ANSI-compliant.) For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL WHENEVER SQLERROR STOP; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use the nonconforming keyword.

PCC-00111: SQLCHECK value in EXEC ORACLE statement exceeds command line value

Cause: The SQLCHECK option was entered inline and specified a level of checking higher than the level specified (or accepted by default) on the command line. This is not allowed. For example, if SQLCHECK={SYNTAX | LIMITED} is specified on the command line, SQLCHECK={SEMANTICS | FULL} cannot be specified inline.

Action: Revise the EXEC ORACLE statement or specify a lower level of checking on the command line.

PCC-00112: Datatype not supported by ANSI

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO standard was used. Specifically, aa pointer or nonconforming datatype such as VARCHAR was used. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION VARCHAR username[20]; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use pointers or nonconforming datatypes.

PCC-00113: Value of DBMS option invalid with given value of MODE option

Cause: When MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13}, DBMS=V7 was specified, or when MODE=ANSI, DBMS=v6 was specified. These option settings are incompatible. Note that the DBMS option was not available before release 1.5 of the Oracle Precompilers.

Action: With DBMS=V7, instead of MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13}, specify MODE={ANSI | ORACLE}. With DBMS=V6, instead of MODE=ANSI, specify MODE={ANSI14 | ANSI13 | ORACLE}, but MODE=ORACLE is recommended.

PCC-00114: Length spec required in EXEC SQL VAR statements for VARxxx types

Cause: In an EXEC SQL VAR statement, a VARCHAR or VARRAW external datatype was specified without a length. Unlike other types, the maximum length of the data field must be specified for VARCHAR and VARRAW.

Action: Add a length specification to the EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-00115: Array required here

Cause: In an ARRAYLEN statement, the name of a previously declared host array was not specified. The first host variable in an ARRAYLEN statement must be an array. The second host variable, which specifies an array dimension, must be a 4-byte integer. The correct syntax follows: EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN host_array (dimension); The ARRAYLEN statement must appear in the Declare Section along with, but somewhere after, the declarations of host_array and dimension.

Action: Check the spelling of both identifiers in the ARRAYLEN statement. If necessary, supply the missing host array name.

PCC-00116: This array already given in an ARRAYLEN statement

Cause: The same host array was specified in two different ARRAYLEN statements. A given host array cannot be specified in more than one ARRAYLEN statement.

Action: Check the spelling of the host array names in both ARRAYLEN statements. Change one of the names so that they refer to different host arrays or remove one of the ARRAYLEN statements.

PCC-00117: Invalid ARRAYLEN length variable type

Cause: A valid array dimension was not specified in an ARRAYLEN statement. The array dimension must be specified using a previously declared 4-byte integer host variable, not a literal or expression. For example, the offending code might look like: EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN ename_array (25); -- illegal dimension

Action: Supply a valid array dimension. If necessary, declare a 4-byte integer host variable for use in the ARRAYLEN statement.

PCC-00118: Use of host variable initialization not supported by ANSI SQL

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a host variable was initialized in its declaration, as shown in the following Pro*C example: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int dept_number = 20; -- not ANSI/ISO-compliant EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not initialize host variables in their declarations.

PCC-00119: Value of const variable in INTO clause will be modified

Cause: A variable declared with the type specifier "const" was used in an INTO clause. Such variables should not be modified and should not be used in an INTO clause.

Action: Check the spelling of all identifiers in the INTO clause. If necessary, remove "const" from the host variable declaration or use a different host variable.

PCC-00120: File I/O error during code generation

Cause: d by insufficient disk space.

Action: Check that there is enough disk space.

PCC-00121: Arrays of VARCHAR pointers are not supported

Cause: An array of pointers was declared, which is not allowed. However, pointers to scalar types are allowed. With Pro*C, declare pointers to char[n] and varchar[n] variables as pointers to CHAR or VARCHAR (with no length specification).

Action: Correct or remove the declaration.

PCC-00122: Input file name and output file name are identical

Cause: On the command line, the same pathname for INAME and ONAME was specified, which designates the precompiler input and output files, respectively.

Action: Change one of the path/filenames.

PCC-00123: Entire VARCHAR declaration must be on same line

Cause: In a Pro*C program, a VARCHAR declaration spans more than one line, which is not allowed.

Action: Revise the declaration so that it uses only one line.

PCC-00124: COMMON_NAME option is specified too late

Cause: In a FORTRAN program, subroutine, or function, the precompiler option COMMON_NAME was mistakenly specified after the PROGRAM, SUBROUTINE, or FUNCTION statement. If COMMON_NAME is specified inline, its EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement must precede the PROGRAM SUBROUTINE, or FUNCTION statement.

Action: Relocate the EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement or specify COMMON_NAME on the command line.

PCC-00126: Could not find or open system configuration file

Cause: The precompiler was unable to find or open the system configuration file (a text file containing preset command-line options, which the precompiler uses by default). Some possible causes follow:
o The file does not exist.

o The search path to the file is incorrect.

o File access privileges are insufficient.

o There are too many open files. However, this message is just a warning. Processing continues even if the system configuration file does not exist.

Action: Check that the file exists, that the search path to the file is correct, and that sufficient privileges exist to access the file. Also check that the limit for open files is set high enough (check with the system manager).

PCC-00127: %s

Cause: This is a generic error message from the command-line processor.

Action: Correct the indicated error.

PCC-00128: Command line processor severe error

Cause: The command line processor encountered a severe error.

Action: After making sure that all the command-line options are specified correctly, call customer support with a full account of all the options and configuration files used.

PCC-00129: Option "string" must be given

Cause: A required command-line option is missing. For example, the INAME option, which specifies the name of the input file, might be missing.

Action: Supply the missing command-line option.

PCC-00132: Indicator array size must not be less than its host variable

Cause: An host variable array was used with an indicator array declared with a smaller dimension. For example: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; int dept_no[20]; short dept_no_ind[10]; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; ... SELECT ... INTO dept_no:dept_no_ind ...

Action: Increase the size of the indicator array.

PCC-00133: Command line option MODE=ANSI required with option NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: The precompiler option NLS_LOCAL=YES was used without also specifying MODE=ANSI. The precompiler option MODE=ANSI must be specifiied if NLS_LOCAL=YES.

Action: Set the precompiler option MODE=ANSI in addition to NLS_LOCAL=YES or do not set NLS_LOCAL=YES.

PCC-00135: Result Set Cursor usage is not standard SQL

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, an Oracle Result Set Cursor has been used. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use Result Set Cursors.

PCC-00136: Invalid SQL_CURSOR declaration

Cause: An array of SQL_CURSOR host variables was declared or, if Pro*COBOL, a PICTURE clause was specified in the SQL-CURSOR declaration. In Pro*FORTRAN, a length specification (i.e. "*n") on the SQL_CURSOR declaration could have been specified. These usages are not supported.

Action: Check that the SQL_CURSOR variable is not declared as an array or, if Pro*COBOL, that no PICTURE clause is specified for the SQL_CURSOR. In Pro*FORTRAN, check that there is no length specification (i.e. "*n") for the SQL_CURSOR.

PCC-00137: Invalid use of SQL cursor host variable

Cause: A SQL_CURSOR variable was used in an INTO or WHERE clause. SQL_CURSOR variables can be used only where ordinary cursor identifiers would be used or, in a PL/SQL block, where a cursor would normally be used.

Action: Remove the SQL cursor variable reference from the INTO clause or WHERE clause, or use a host variable of another type in the INTO or WHERE clause.

PCC-00138: Result Set Cursors are not implemented in this precompiler

Cause: There was an attempt to reference a host variable as a cursor reference. Cursor variables are not implemented in PRO*Pascal or Pro*PL/I.

Action: Rewrite your host-language code to use standard SQL cursors.

PCC-00139: Cannot change MAXLITERAL after an EXEC SQL statement

Cause: The MAXLITERAL option has been used in an inline EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement after and EXEC SQL, EXEC TOOLS, or EXEC IAF statement. This is not allowed.

Action: Use the MAXLITERAL option only on the command line or in an EXEC ORACLE OPTION statement placed at the beginning of the input source file.

PCC-00140: CREATE FUNCTION/PROCEDURE/PACKAGE/TRIGGER are Oracle extensions

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, one of the following statements was used:
o CREATE FUNCTION

o CREATE PROCEDURE

o CREATE PACKAGE

o CREATE TRIGGER These statements are Oracle extensions to the ANSI/ISO SQL standards. This informational message is issued by the FIPS Flagger when FIPS=YES.

Action: No action is required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, do not use any of these statements.

PCC-00141: Thread Safety is not implemented in this precompiler

Cause: There has been an attempt to use CONTEXT sql statements. The thread safety feature is not implemented in PRO*Pascal, Pro*PL/I, or Pro*C 1.x.

Action: Rewrite your host-language code to not use contexts.

PCC-00142: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement encountered

Cause: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement was encountered and the option threads=yes was requested.

Action: Ensure that the necessary context variable (of type sql_context) has been declared, ALLOCATEd, and USEd prior to any executable SQL statements.

PCC-00143: Runtime context variable not of correct type

Cause: The runtime context variable referecned in an EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement is not of type sql_context.

Action: Declare your runtime context variable of type sql_context.

PCC-00144: UNSAFE_NULL=YES must be used with DBMS=V7 and MODE=ORACLE

Cause: The option UNSAFE_NULL=YES has been used with DBMS=V6 or DBMS=NATIVE (the default) or has been used with MODE=ANSI/ANSI14/ANSI13.

Action: Either specify DBMS=V7 and MODE=ORACLE (the default) when using UNSAFE_NULL=YES or do not use UNSAFE_NULL=YES.

PCC-00145: This statement can only be used with THREADS=YES

Cause: EXEC SQL ENABLE THREADS or one of the EXEC SQL CONTEXT statements has been used, even though option THREADS is set to NO.

Action: Specify option THREADS=YES or remove the EXEC ENABLE THREADS or EXEC SQL CONTEXT statement from the source code.

PCC-00146: Illegal value for host option, ignored

Cause: An invalid host language was specified using the command-line host option. The host option valid values are pro* language specific. For example, for profor, the only valid value is FORTRAN. For procob, the only valid values are COBOL and COB74.

Action: Specify a valid host language with the host option.

PCC-00147: DBMS=V6 no longer supported; using DBMS=NATIVE

Cause: V6 compatibility is no longer supported. The precompiler will precompile as though DBMS=NATIVE was specified.

Action: Revise the specified DBMS option value from v6 to another value as desired.

PCC-01000: You are not authorized to run Pro*COBOL

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*COBOL Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01001: Your Pro*COBOL authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*COBOL Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01002: Invalid character "character" in indicator area at line number in file string

Cause: In a Pro*COBOL Precompiler program, only a blank, hyphen (-), asterisk (*), slash (/), or letter "D" is allowed in the indicator area, but the precompiler found another character.

Action: Remove or replace the invalid character. If the FORMAT=ANSI option is specified, check for an end-of-line in column 7.

PCC-01003: Invalid continuation at line number in file string

Cause: In a PRO*COBOL program, a continuation line was completely blank, except for the continuation character.

Action: Remove or replace the empty continuation line.

PCC-01004: In an EXEC statement at end-of-file

Cause: In a Pro*COBOL input file, the last EXEC statement was not terminated properly.

Action: Terminate the last EXEC statement with an END-EXEC.

PCC-01005: PROCEDURE DIVISION not found

Cause: The precompiler could not find the PROCEDURE DIVISION header in a Pro*COBOL program. Some possible causes follow:
o A keyword in the header is missing or misspelled.

o There is an apostrophe in the REMARKS section (the precompiler mistook the apostrophe for the beginning of a string literal).

o There is an unterminated literal in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION.

o The wrong value for the FORMAT option was specified.

Action: Check that the PROCEDURE DIVISION header is in place and spelled correctly, that there is no apostrophe in the REMARKS section, that all literals in the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION are terminated, and that the right value for the FORMAT option is specified.

PCC-01006: EXEC statement cannot begin in Area A at line number in file string

Cause: In a Pro*COBOL program, EXEC statements must begin in Area B, but the precompiler found a statement beginning in Area A.

Action: Move the statement rightward so that it begins in Area B.

PCC-01007: WORKING-STORAGE SECTION not found

Cause: The precompiler could not find the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION header in a Pro*COBOL program, probably because a keyword is missing or misspelled, or the wrong value for the FORMAT option might have been specified.

Action: Check that the WORKING-STORAGE SECTION header is in place and spelled correctly and that the right value for the FORMAT option is specified.

PCC-01008: Multiple element records not allowed in DECLARE section

Cause: A few COBOL compilers do not allow group items to be passed as parameters in a CALL statement. (Check the COBOL compiler user"s guide.) If the compiler is one of these, group items within the Declare Section can contain only one elementary item.

Action: Assign each host variable its own group item.

PCC-01009: For hostlan = COB74, a SQL statement must be followed by ELSE or "."

Cause: In a Pro*COBOL program, an EXEC SQL statement is followed by another statement in the same sentence. An EXEC SQL statement must be the last statement in a COBOL-74 sentence and so must be terminated by the keyword ELSE or a period.

Action: Change the program logic, making the EXEC SQL statement the last statement in the sentence.

PCC-01010: Invalid use of NULL character in character literal

Cause: A null character (binary zero) was found in a string literal. This is not allowed by Pro*COBOL.

Action: Remove the null character from the string literal.

PCC-01011: USAGE IS BINARY clause must be terminated by "." on same line

Cause: The period terminating the USAGE IS BINARY clause must be on the same line as the USAGE clause. This message only occurs on systems that support the COMP5=YES command line option of Pro*COBOL, where where COMP-5 is substituted for BINARY.

Action: Check that the period terminating the USAGE IS BINARY clause is on the same line as the USAGE clause.

PCC-01012: DATA DIVISION not found

Cause: The Pro*COBOL precompiler did not find a DATA DIVISION in the input source file. Pro*COBOL applications are required to have a DATA DIVISION.

Action: Add a DATA DIVISION to the input source file.

PCC-01013: Invalid use of PIC N array variable "string" at line number in file string

Cause: A PIC N variable was declared using an OCCURS clause. Tables of PIC N variables are not supported by the Pro*COBOL precompiler.

Action: Declare the PIC N variable without an OCCURS clause or, if the PIC N variable is not used in any SQL statements, declare it outside the Declare Section.

PCC-01014: "VARYING" not supported with PIC N PICTURE clause

Cause: The keyword VARYING was used in a PIC N variable declaration.

Action: Remove the keyword VARYING from the variable declaration. If you want to declare a PIC N VARCHAR variable, specify the precompiler option VARCHAR=YES and declare the variable as an implicit VARCHAR group item as illustrated by the following example: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC. ... 01 ENAME. 05 ENAME-LEN PIC S9(4) COMP. 05 ENAME-ARR PIC N(20). ... EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION END-EXEC.

PCC-01015: Cannot equivalence PIC N variable string

Cause: A PIC N variable or an implicit VARCHAR group item (with a PIC N variable as an elementary item) was used in an EXEC SQL VAR statement. This is not allowed.

Action: Do not use the PIC N variable in an EXEC SQL VAR statement. If you want an equivalence to an Oracle type using an EXEC SQL VAR statement, use a PIC X variable, instead of a PIC N variable.

PCC-01016: "N" character literals not supported in embedded PL/SQL

Cause: An "N" character literal was used within a PL/SQL block

Action: Remove the "N" character literal from the PL/SQL block.

PCC-01017: The SQLCA and a SQLCODE variable cannot both be used

Cause: The SQLCA has been included and a SQLCODE variable has been declared. This is not allowed as references to the SQLCODE variable are ambiguous and will result in COBOL compiler errors.

Action: Use either the SQLCA or the SQLCODE variable. Remove either the include of the SQLCA or the SQLCODE variable declaration.

PCC-01018: Conversion buffer size can only be specified for character types

Cause: A CONVBUFSZ clause has been used in an EXEC SQL VAR statement where the variable is not of a character datatype.

Action: Remove the CONVBUFSZ clause from the EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-01019: Invalid conversion buffer size

Cause: The size specified in a CONVBUFSZ clause must be an integer in the range 1-32765. Either the size given is not an integer or is outside the required range.

Action: Specify an integer in the range 1-32765.

PCC-01100: You are not authorized to run Pro*FORTRAN

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*FORTRAN Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01101: Your Pro*FORTRAN authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*FORTRAN Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01102: Invalid label at line number in file string

Cause: The Pro*FORTRAN Precompiler found an invalid FORTRAN statement label in columns 1 through 6.

Action: Correct or remove the statement label.

PCC-01200: You are not authorized to run Pro*C

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*C Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01201: Your Pro*C authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*C Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01202: Identifier "string" truncated to 31 characters

Cause: A host identifier (the name of a host variable, for example) was truncated to the maximum length (31 characters) allowed by the precompiler.

Action: No action required. This message is just informational.

PCC-01300: You are not authorized to run Pro*PL/I

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*PL/I Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01301: Your Pro*PL/I authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*PL/I Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01400: You are not authorized to run Pro*Pascal

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*Pascal Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01401: Your Pro*Pascal authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*Pascal Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01500: You are not authorized to run Pro*Ada

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*Ada Precompiler has expired.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01501: Your Pro*Ada authorization is about to expire

Cause: The authorization or license to run the Pro*Ada Precompiler is about to expire.

Action: Call customer support for assistance.

PCC-01510: No Package, Procedure or Function statement seen in string

Cause: Every Ada source file must have a package, procedure, or function statement. The precompiler did not find one.

Action: Add the appropriate statement(s) to the source file and rerun Pro*Ada.

PCC-01511: Identifier on line number in file string too long for code generated in file string

Cause: An identifier used in the host program is of a length that causes precompiler-generated code to exceed the length limitation on source lines.

Action: Use a shorter identifier or use the ORECLEN option to increase the allowed line length.

PCC-01512: Invalid EXEC SQL INCLUDE of file string found at line number in file string

Cause: The EXEC SQL INCLUDE statement is not allowed in Pro*Ada.

Action: Embed required source text directly in the Pro*Ada file. Use the "with" context clause to include required packages.

PCC-01513: FIPS warning: Unsupported datatype in line number of file string

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a host variable was declared with a non-ANSI/ISO standard type.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, use only ANSI/ISO standard types.

PCC-01515: FIPS warning: Undeclared host variable "string" at line number in file string

Cause: An Oracle extension to the ANSI/ISO SQL standard was used. Specifically, a host variable was declared outside of a Declare Section.

Action: No action required. However, for ANSI/ISO compliance, declare the host variable within a Declare Section.

57 PCC-02010 to PCC-02451

PCC-02010: found end-of-file while scanning string literal

Cause: A string in a SQL statement, which should be delimited by single quotation marks, was not terminated properly.

Action: Check that all strings are delimited.

PCC-02011: found identifier greater than 128 characters (truncated)

Cause: The precompiler found an identifier that was too long.

Action: Shorten the identifier. SQL identifiers should be limited to 18 characters.

PCC-02012: did not find matching quote for char constant

Cause: A character constant with a single quotation mark was not terminated.

Action: Terminate the character constant.

PCC-02013: unknown escape sequence

Cause: The precompiler found an escape sequence that it could not process inside a string literal. This error can arise when multibyte character strings that can contain shift-in or shift-out escape sequences are used.

Action: Correct the string representation.

PCC-02014: Syntax error at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: The precompiler detected an errorin C or embedded SQL syntax. This message is followd by a more specific error message.

Action: Correct the syntax error.

PCC-02015: unable to open include file

Cause: The precompiler could not open a header file that was specified using the #include preprocessor directive or the EXEC SQL INCLUDE statement. This can happen if the file specification is inaccurate or if read permission or read access rights on the file or on one or more of the directories in the path were not granted.

Action: Recheck that the file specification is correct, that the file exists, and that read permission has been granted so that the file can be read.

PCC-02016: include file pathname is too long

Cause: The pathname for include files exceeded the maximum length of 80 characters.

Action: Move the include file, or create an environment variable or logical to shorten the pathname.

PCC-02017: unable to open output file

Cause: The precompiler could not open an output file. This could be a generated code output file(.c file) or a listing file. This message can result from many causes. For example: o) A pathname for a specified output file contains a non-exixtent directory. o) An operating-system error occured because the file system or disk is full. o) Write permission on the specified directory or directories in the path do not exist.

Action: Track down the cause of the error, as suggested above, and correct it.

PCC-02018: found end-of-file while scanning comment

Cause: A C comment either in C code or in an embedded SQL statement, was not terminated.

Action: Find the unterminated comment and terminate it with */ .

PCC-02019: Preprocessor warning at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: This message indicates that a warning condition occured as the precompiler was doing the preprocessor pass. A more specific warning message will follow this message.

Action: Correct the condition according to the action specified for the message that follows.

PCC-02020: Preprocessor error at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: This message indicates that an error condition occured as the precompiler was in the preprocessing phase. A more specific error message will follow this message.

Action: Correct the error according to the action specified for the message that follows.

PCC-02021: Found newline while scanning string literal

Cause: A string constant contains a newline character, For example char x[] = "Hello world";

Action: Remove the newline character.

PCC-02022: Found end of file while scanning a SQL statement

Cause: The precompiler encountered an end of file while parsing an EXEC SQL statement.

Action: Add statement terminator(;) or complete the EXEC SQL statement.

PCC-02023: Found end of file while scanning a PL/SQL statement

Cause: The precompiler encountered an end of file while parsing a PL/SQL statement (EXEC SQL EXECUTE ...).

Action: Complete the PL/SQL statement.

PCC-02035: CMD-LINE: CONFIG= option is invalid in a config file

Cause: A user configuration file inside a user configuration file cannot be specified. That is, nested configuration files cannot be nested.

Action: If there are nested configuration files, move the options from the nested files to the top levels.

PCC-02040: CMD-LINE: Option selected, but no value provided

Cause: An option on the command line was specified, but a value for it was not included. For example, the offending code might look like: proc iname=sample1.pc oname=

Action: Provide a value for the option.

PCC-02041: CMD-LINE: Option does not exist:

Cause: A non existent option on the command line was specified.

Action: See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers, Release 2.2 for a list of the valid command line options and their possible values.

PCC-02043: CMD-LINE: Option syntax is incorrect

Cause: A value for a command line option was incorrectly specified.

Action: See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers, Release 2.2 for the correct syntax for specifying command line option values.

PCC-02044: CMD-LINE: Illegal or out of range value for option:

Cause: A value specified for a command line option was not within the accepted range. For example,, the range for the MAXOPENCURSORS option is 5 to 256. If a value outside the range is specified, the message is triggered.

Action: See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for the ranges that option values can take.

PCC-02045: CMD-LINE: Option is not unique:

Cause: An option name was partially specified on the command line that made it non unique. For example, % proc in=t.pc the "in" option can imply either the INAME or INCLUDE option.

Action: Provide sufficient characters on the command line to make the option name unique.

PCC-02046: CMD-LINE: Unable to open config file:

Cause: A non-existent user configuration file was specified on the command line with the config option.

Action: Provide a valid filename for the configuration file.

PCC-02047: CMD-LINE: Option is not allowed inline:

Cause: An option was entered inline that can only be entered on the command line or in a configuration file. For example, the offending code might look like EXEC ORACLE OPTION (NLS_CHAR=<name>); The NLS_CHAR option can only be entered on the command line or in a configuration file.

Action: Remove the option from the source file, and specify it on the command line.

PCC-02066: CMD-LINE: Could not find or could not open system config file

Cause: The system configuration file has a standard name (pmscfg.h) and a location that is operating system dependent. On UNIX systems, it is located in the ORACLE_HOME/proc directory. If a file named pmscfg.h is not found in the standard location, this warning message is issued.

Action: Create a system configuration file in the standard location. The file can be empty. See also the operating system specific Oracle documentation.

PCC-02081: CMD-LINE: Unterminated option value list or value list was truncated.

Cause: An option that takes a list of values was entered. The value list did not have a closing parenthesis. This error may also occur if the list of values entered on a single line was too long and Pro*C truncated it.

Action: Ensure that all value lists are terminated with a closing parenthesis. Split long value lists into individual entries.

PCC-02100: Unable to initialize PL/SQL

Cause: The precompiler connected to Oracle but could not invoke the PL/SQL engine. This error can result if an earlier release of Oracle7 is used without the Procedural Option.

Action: To use PL/SQL, upgrade to a more recent release of Oracle7.

PCC-02101: Unable to open input file

Cause: The precompiler could not open the input file. This is the .pc file specified in the INAME=option. This means that the file does not exist, that a directory was incorrectly specified in the pathname, or that the person running the precompiler does not have read permission for the file. This message could also result from operating-system errors. For example, an unmounted file system or disk I/O errors, could trigger this error.

Action: Check that permission to read the file exists and that the full pathname has been specified correctly. Check for operating- system problems. See also the operating system-specific Oracle documentation.

PCC-02102: Fatal error while doing C preprocessing

Cause: The precompiler issues this message after a more specific message.

Action: Correct the problem specified in the previous message or messages.

PCC-02103: Password:

Cause: The username was specified on the command line without a password. For example, proc sqlcheck=full iname=sample1.pc userid=scott

Action: Re-enter the command line, and include the password or specify the password when prompted.

PCC-02104: Unable to connect to Oracle

Cause: The precompiler could not connect to Oracle with the username, password, and, if applicable, database link that was supplied. Note that this is a precompiler message, not a runtime message. This means that the USERID option value, either on the command line or in a configuration file, was incorrect.

Action: Check that the username and password are current and correct. Run SQL*DBA or SQL*PLUS and verify that connection can be made using that username and password.

PCC-02105: Unable to open list file

Cause: The precompiler could not open the listing file. This message can result from many causes. For example, o) A pathname for a specified listing file contains a non-existent directory. o) An operating-system error occured because the file system or disk is full. o) Write permission on the specified directory has not been granted.

Action: Track down the cause of the error, as suggested above, and correct it.

PCC-02106: Userid only used when SQLCHECK = FULL, userid ignored.

Cause: The USERID option was specified on the command line, but SQLCHECK was not equal to FULL or SEMANTICS. The USERID has no effect, unless SQLCHECK=FULL or SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

Action: This is a warning message only.

PCC-02107: You may not specify PARSE = FULL when CODE = CPP

Cause: The PARSE=FULL and CODE=CPP options were both specified on the command line. The PARSE=FULL option invokes the C parser which does not understand any C++ constructs generated by the precompiler with CODE=CPP option.

Action: Set the PARSE option to either NONE or PARTIAL if the CODE=CPP option is specified.

PCC-02108: UNSAFE_NULL=YES allowed if MODE=ORACLE and DBMS=V7 or V8

Cause: UNSAFE_NULL=YES was specified on the command line, but but either the MODE was not ORACLE or the DBMS was not V7 or V8.

Action: Specify MODE=ORACLE and DBMS=V7 or V8 when using UNSAFE_NULL=YES.

PCC-02109: SQLCHECK=NONE is no longer supported.. using SYNTAX

Cause: SQLCHECK=NONE was specified on the command line but is no longer a supported option. SQLCHECK=SYNTAX was used instead.

Action: This is a warning message only. To avoid this warning, specify SQLCHECK=SYNTAX or SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS.

PCC-02110: DBMS=V6_CHAR is deprecated. Use CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2, DBMS=V7 instead

Cause: DBMS=V6_CHAR was specified on the command line but is no longer a supported option. The options CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2 and DBMS=V7 were used instead.

Action: This is a warning message only. To avoid this warning, specify CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2 and, if required, DBMS=V7.

PCC-02111: CHAR_MAP option ignored. Only CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2 allowed for DBMS=V6

Cause: DBMS=V6 was specified, and CHAR_MAP was specified with a value other than VARCHAR2. The CHAR_MAP value is ignored.

Action: This is a warning message only. To avoid this warning, specify a DBMS value other than DBMS=V6 or use CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2.

PCC-02112: OBJECTS option ignored. OBJECTS=YES is not allowed for DBMS=V6 or V7.

Cause: OBJECTS=YES was specified on the Pro*C command line, but the DBMS option value was not valid.

Action: This is a warning message only. To avoid this warning for OBJECTS=YES, use DBMS=V8 or DBMS=NATIVE with a V8 database.

PCC-02113: DBMS=V6 no longer supported; using DBMS=NATIVE, CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2.

Cause: DBMS=V6 was specified on the command line, but is no longer a supported option value. The options DBMS=NATIVE and CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2 were used instead.

Action: Check your program to verify that you are not depending on any V6 behavior. Please refer to the Programmer"s Guide to the Pro*C/C++ Precompiler for effects of specifying DBMS=V6.

PCC-02114: Command line argument MODE=ANSI may not be used with DBMS=V6

Cause: The semantics of certain operations (such as character comparison) in Oracle version ^ are not 100% compliant with the ANSI/ISO SQL standards. When V6 semantics are requested, using the DBMS=V6 or DBMS=V6_CHAR option, precompilation with MODE=ANSI is not permitted.

Action: Do not use ANSI mode with V6 options.

PCC-02115: Unable to open output file for writing

Cause: An attempt was made to precompile a header file where the output data file could not be opened (or created) for writing.

Action: Check for appropriate permissions on the directory and possibly file objects (if a data file already exists) to make sure that write permissions have been granted.

PCC-02116: You must specify a file extension using the HEADER option

Cause: An attempt was made to precompile a header file without specifying the name of the extension to use when creating the generated data file.

Action: Use the HEADER option to specify the name of a file extension to use when creating a data file for a precompiled header.

PCC-02129: CMD-LINE: Client supplied static options table is invalid

Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.

Action: Call Oracle customer support.

PCC-02132: CMD-LINE: Could not allocate memory

Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued.

Action: Call Oracle customer support.

PCC-02133: CMD-LINE: Error in string processing function

Cause: This is an internal error message not usually issued. It indicates that a C string function, such as strcpy or strlen, returned an error.

Action: Call Oracle customer support.

PCC-02134: CMD-LINE: Null option supplied

Cause: A zero length option was specified on the command line.

Action: Re-enter the command line with a valid option.

PCC-02135: CMD-LINE: User asked for help

Cause: This is a final message that the precompiler issues when information about the command line options has been requested. For example, if the command proc ? is issued to get a list of current default values for the command line options, this message appears at the end of the list.

Action: No action required.

PCC-02138: CMD-LINE: Internal consistency error

Cause: This is an internal message for program exceptions. An unexpected condition was encountered by the command-line processor and a consistency check failed. Some possible causes of this message include: --invalid command-line options --memory corruption

Action: Report this error to Worldwide Support after gathering the following information: --the events that led to the error --the attempted operations that led to the error --any unusual circumstances prior to this error

PCC-02144: CMD-LINE: Blank characters are not allowed on either side of an equal sign (=)

Cause: An equal sign (=) was either immediately preceded or followed by a blank character.

Action: Precompile your program again without blank characters on either side of any equal sign (=) on the command line.

PCC-02146: CMD-LINE: value of option too long

Cause: The length of the user option exceeded 1023 bytes

Action: Reduce the length of the user option

PCC-02150: Error at line number, column number in file string

Cause: An error was encounter at the given location.

Action: Check the named source file and correct the error using the additional information which follows this error message.

PCC-02151: Line number column number file string:

Cause: An error was encounter at the given location.

Action: Check the listed source file and correct the error using the additional information which follows this error message.

PCC-02152: Unable to open file string to display or list the source line number

Cause: The file contains an error, but could not be reopened to list or display the incorrect line.

Action: Check that the file is intact and it has read permission. Then rerun the operation.

PCC-02153: Open file: string

Cause: A new source file was opened while producing the list file.

Action: No action required; this is an informational message.

PCC-02154: Close file: string

Cause: A source file was closed while producing the list file.

Action: No action required; this is an informational message.

PCC-02200: found unrecognized punctuation sequence

Cause: The error indicates that the precompiler parser encountered a badly-formed identifier or keyword.

Action: Correct the syntax.

PCC-02201: Found syntax error

Cause: This general message precedes one or more specific messages that detail the nature of the error.

Action: No action required. Correct the errors diagnosed in the following message(s).

PCC-02202: No typedef name was given

Cause: The precompiler parser encountered a typedef statement that had no name after the type specification. For example, typedef int;

Action: Correct the syntax

PCC-02203: found end of file when not expected

Cause: The parser can emit this message when a general syntax error occurs, for example, an unmatched "{" or "(".

Action: Correct the syntax.

PCC-02204: EXEC SQL INCLUDE not permitted from within an included file

Cause: EXEC SQL INCLUDE statements cannot be nested. Also, EXEC SQL INCLUDE statement cannot be put inside a file that is included using the #include preprocessor command.

Action: Recode the program so that the nested include statement is not required.

PCC-02205: Parser error at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: The precompiler parser encountered a syntax error, either in C code or in SQL code. A more specific message should follow.

Action: for any following messages.

PCC-02206: Host variables are not permitted within a DDL statement

Cause: A Data Definition Language statement cannot use host variables. For example, the statement CREATE TABLE :table_name (c1 char(10)); is illegal, because the name of the table in a CREATE TABLE statement cannot be represented using host variable.

Action: Use dynamic SQL to create the names of database objects (tables, views, columns, etc.) at runtime. See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers, Release2.2 for information about dynamic SQL.

PCC-02207: Invalid macro name

Cause: The precompiler parser encountered a #define directive that had no macro name associated with it. For example, #define

Action: Correct the syntax.

PCC-02208: No filename specified in #include statement

Cause: The precompiler parser encountered a #include directive that had no filename associated with it. For example, #include

Action: Specify appropriate filename with the #include directive, or correct the syntax.

PCC-02209: Macro invocation has incorrect number of arguments

Cause: A macro invocation in the source does not have the same number of arguments as the macro definition in the #define line.

Action: Correct the macro reference or the macro definition.

PCC-02210: C++ punctuation sequences are not permitted

Cause: C++ punctuation sequences are not supported by the ProC/C++ precompiler.

Action: Rewrite your C++ code without using punctuation sequences and precompile it again.

PCC-02301: cannot reopen input file for reading

Cause: The semantic analysis phase of the precompiler could not reopen the input file to generate the output code.

Action: Check that the input file and it"s directory protection and priveleges do not change during precompilation.

PCC-02302: cannot open code generation output file "string"

Cause: Pro*C was unable to open one or both temporary files required for code generation. The user executing the precompiler must have write permission (and/or the appropriate privileges) on the current directory.

Action: Check that permission exists to create files in the the directory where you precompile.

PCC-02303: cannot open include file

Cause: The precompiler was not able to open a header file specified using the #INCLUDE preprocessor directive or the EXEC SQL INCLUDE statement. This can happen if the file specification is inaccurate or if read permission or read-access rights on the file or on one or more of the directories in the path have not been granted.

Action: Recheck that the file specification is correct, that the file exists, and that read permission has been granted so that the file can be read.

PCC-02304: invalid declaration of C function

Cause: A C function using invalid syntax was declared.

Action: Consult a C programming manual and correct the declaration.

PCC-02305: illegal mixing of new and old style C function declarations

Cause: All C functions using either the traditional style (K&R style) function declarations or the new (ANSI) style must be declared; the two styles cannot be mixed.

Action: Adopt a consist declaration style for functions.

PCC-02306: illegal name of C function

Cause: A C function was declared with a name that is not a legal C identifier.

Action: Use legal C identifiers for all function names.

PCC-02307: void can only be used when single parameter

Cause: A function can be declared or defined using the following syntax: int func1(void) to indicate that the function has no parameters. void can be used only once in this case.

Action: Remove the extra voids in the function definition or declaration.

PCC-02308: identifier required in this function declaration

Cause: A function definition written in ANSI C must have both the name and the type for all parameters.

Action: Rewrite the function definition so that it contains the name of each parameter.

PCC-02309: illegal formal parameter declaration

Cause: A formal parameter to a function was specified without giving its type.

Action: Rewrite the function declaration and include types of all parameters in function declarations.

PCC-02310: formal parameter VARCHARs should be declared as pointers

Cause: Many C compilers allow structures to be passed to and returned from functions. Although a VARCHAR is implemented as a C struct, VARCHARs must be passed to a function as pointers.

Action: Take the address of a VARCHAR when it is passed to a function. See the example in the section "Referencing VARCHAR Variables" in the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers.

PCC-02311: cannot have VARCHAR bit fields

Cause: Host variables cannot contain bit fields.

Action: Recode the application to remove the bit fields.

PCC-02312: arrays of VARCHAR greater than 2 dimensions not allowed

Cause: A VARCHAR variable having more that 2 dimensions was declared. Multidimensional arrays are not supported as host variables.

Action: Recode the application to remove multidimensional array usage.

PCC-02313: malformed VARCHAR declaration - missing length

Cause: When a VARCHAR is declared, a length specification is mandatory. For example, the following VARCHAR declaration is meaningless, hence illegal: VARCHAR v1[];

Action: Specify the length for each declared VARCHAR.

PCC-02314: cannot evaluate constant sizeof expression

Cause: A SIZEOF operator was used where a precompiler expression was expected. For example, as the length of a varchar.

Action: Eliminate the SIZEOF operator in this instance.

PCC-02315: cannot evaluate expression as constant

Cause: The specified expression does not evaluate to a constant. Such expressions are required, for example, as the length of a VARCHAR.

Action: Replace the expression with one that does evaluate to a constant integer.

PCC-02316: illegal operator in constant expression

Cause: A non-arithmetic operator was present in a constant expression.

Action: Rewrite the expression to eliminate the non-arithmetic operator.

PCC-02317: illegal cast type expression

Cause: An illegal cast is present in the expression.

Action: Remove the illegal cast.

PCC-02318: missing type expression

Cause: The specified expression is missing the declaration of a type.

Action: Specify a type for the expression.

PCC-02319: expression type does not match usage

Cause: The type of a variable does not match is usage. For example, in dynamic SQL, a host variable containing the text of a SQL statement must be declared as a C character type or be equivalenced to the SQL type STRING.

Action: Remove the declaration.

PCC-02320: arithmetic expression does not have correct operand types

Cause: The arithmetic expression must be specified with integral types.

Action: Rewrite the expression using integral types.

PCC-02321: only subtraction between two pointers is permitted

Cause: Pointer values cannot be added, multiplied, or divided. The only arithmetic operation permitted with pointers is subtraction.

Action: Recode to avoid this error message.

PCC-02322: found undefined identifier

Cause: An identifier used in a SQL statement was not defined. For example, a cursor name was referenced that had not been declared, or in a DECLARE CURSOR statement, a statement name was used that had not been PREPAREd.

Action: Provide a declaration for the variable and/or its type identifier.

PCC-02323: found typedef name used in an expression (expecting a value)

Cause: The name of a typedef was found where a variable was expected.

Action: Rewrite the expression and remove the reference to the typedef.

PCC-02324: found variable name used as a typedef name

Cause: The name of a variable was found where a typedef was expected.

Action: Rewrite the expression and specify the correct typedef reference.

PCC-02325: illegal indirection operation

Cause: An attempt was made to use a non-pointer type as a pointer.

Action: Rewrite the expression.

PCC-02326: illegal structure reference operation

Cause: A structure component using invalid syntax was referenced. For example, a -> operator was used instead of a required `." operator.

Action: Correct the invalid reference.

PCC-02327: struct or struct pointer required

Cause: A scalar host variable was used in a context where a structure (or its pointer) is required.

Action: Make the host variable a structure or add more scalar host variables to satisfy the SQL syntax requirements.

PCC-02328: undefined struct member

Cause: A structure component was referenced that was not declared as part of the structure.

Action: Redefine the structure member.

PCC-02329: found reference to undeclared function

Cause: A function was referenced that was not declared. All function references must be declared.

Action: Declare the function.

PCC-02330: expecting an expression of integer type

Cause: The expression does not evaluate to an integer. For example, a SQL FOR expression must evaluate to an integral type.

Action: Rewrite the expression.

PCC-02331: undefined SQL identifier

Cause: All SQL identifiers must be declared before they are used. This message can result when a CURSOR or STATEMENT is not declared (defined) before being referenced.

Action: Define the SQL identifier before it is used.

PCC-02332: attempted to redefine SQL identifier

Cause: A SQL identifier (such as a cursor name) can be defined only once.

Action: Do not redefine the SQL identifier.Use a different name.

PCC-02333: SQL identifier was not declared as a statement

Cause: A SQL statement identifier was referenced in a DECLARE... CURSOR statement that was not PREPAREd.

Action: Check that all SQL statement names have been declared. Remember that SQL statement names are identifiers, not variables, and that they are local to the precompilation unit.

PCC-02334: SQL identifier was not declared as a cursor

Cause: A cursor name was used in an OPEN, FETCH, or CLOSE statement that had not been DECLAREd.

Action: Check that all SQL cursor names have been declared. Remember that cursors are identifiers, not variables, and that they are local to the precompilation unit.

PCC-02335: body of cursor must name statement identifier

Cause: In a Dynamic SQL Method 4 application, the DECLARE... CURSOR statement must name a statement identifier that has been PREPAREd in a preceding statement. The PREPARE statement must physically (not logically) precede the DECLARE command.

Action: This error message is followed by another message that gives the line and column of the reference to the statement. Recode the application.

PCC-02336: host variable expression has invalid type

Cause: The host variable was declared using a C type that is not permitted as a host variable. See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for a list of the permissible C types for host variables.

Action: Use a permissible host variable type.

PCC-02337: cannot declare multi-dimensioned array for this type

Cause: Host variable arrays of scalars with more than 1 dimension cannot be declared.The only host variables allowed to be multi-dimensioned are CHAR and VARCHAR.

Action: Rewrite the variable declaration.

PCC-02338: structure contains a nested struct or union

Cause: A structure used as a host variable may not have structures or unions nested within it.

Action: Rewrite the variable declaration.

PCC-02339: host variables cannot be of union types

Cause: A C union as a host variable cannot be used.

Action: This error message is followed by another message that gives the line and column of the reference to the illegal union. Recode, using a struct or individual scalar host variables.

PCC-02340: structure contains a bit field

Cause: Bit fields are not allowed in host variables because they are meaningless for database DML operations.

Action: This error message is followed by another message that gives the line and column of the reference to the offending host variable. Recode the application.

PCC-02341: host variable has illegal type

Cause: A host variable has an unpermitted type (i.e.; enum, void, etc).

Action: Rewrite the host variable declaration, using a permissible host variable type.

PCC-02342: using WHERE CURRENT OF on cursor defined without FOR UPDATE clause

Cause: When MODE=Oracle, a cursor defined with a WHERE CURRENT OF clause must also have a FOR UPDATE clause.

Action: Rewrite the cursor definition.

PCC-02343: body of cursor must be a query expression

Cause: A cursor definition must be a SELECT statement.

Action: Rewrite the cursor definition.

PCC-02344: Host variable array size mismatch. Using minimum: number

Cause: Host variable arrays in a single statement should all be of equal size.

Action: Redefine the bind variable array lengths to all be the same size.

PCC-02345: SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS must be given when embedded PL/SQL blocks are used

Cause: Embedded PL/SQL blocks require that the command-line flag SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS is used.

Action: Use the SQLCHECK=SEMANTICS option. This also requires that the USERID connect option be given.

PCC-02346: PL/SQL found semantic errors

Cause: A database entity, such as a table or column name, was referenced, that does not exist. This is a compile time error, not a runtime error.

Action: Check that all referenced objects in PL/SQL statements actually exist and that the necessary access permission on them have been granted.

PCC-02347: PL/SQL found syntax errors

Cause: A PL/SQL statement was used illegally.

Action: Check the PL/SQL User"s Guide and Reference for the correct syntax.

PCC-02348: indicators are not allowed in EXEC IAF statements

Cause: Indicator variables associated with host variables cannot be used in EXECIAF statements such as GET and PUT in a user exit.

Action: Eliminate the indicator variabls. If feasible (for example with Forms V4), use EXEC TOOLS statements, which do allow indicator variables. See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for more information of EXECIAF and EXEC TOOLS statements.

PCC-02349: precision must be specified for this type

Cause: In a VAR or TYPE statement, certain Oracle types require that the precision be specified. For example, VARCHAR2 or CHAR.

Action: Indicate the precision.

PCC-02350: cannot equivalence this SQL type

Cause: Datatype or variable equivalencing to the datatypes NUMBER or DECIMAL cannot be used. See the "Datatype Equivalencing" section in the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for more information.

Action: Use the appropriate datatype for the application.

PCC-02351: illegal datatype equivalencing operation

Cause: The datatype specified could not be equivalenced, or the syntax was incorrect in the VAR or TYPE statement.

Action: See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for a list of the datatypes that can be equivalenced and the correct syntax of the VAR or TYPE statement.

PCC-02352: out of bounds bind position from PL/SQL

Cause: PL/SQL requested a bind position that does not exist.

Action: Contact ORACLE customer support.

PCC-02353: Semantic error at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: This error message precedes a more specific error message.

Action: No action required. Correct the error(s) reported in the following message(s).

PCC-02354: A file included with #include may not contain SQL statements

Cause: The Pro*C Precompiler reads header files referenced in #INCLUDE directives and uses the values defined in them. But the precompiler never generates code using statements in header files, so use of SQL statements in these files is illegal.

Action: Move the SQL statement(s) into the main body of the application or use EXEC SQL INCLUDE to check that the included file is precompiled.

PCC-02355: Invalid or obsolete option, ignored

Cause: A command-line option that is not used in Pro*C Release 2.0 was specified. For example, the option AREASIZE is no longer valid with precompilers used with the Oracle7 Server.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message.

PCC-02356: Warning at line number, column number, file string:

Cause: This is a generic warning message. It precedes a more specific warning.

Action: No action required. Correct the error(s) indicated in the following message(s).

PCC-02357: Function calls may not be used as host variable expressions

Cause: Only objects that are lvalues (that resolve to an address) can be host variables. Because a function call is not an lvalue, one cannot be used in place of a host variable.

Action: Recode the application.

PCC-02358: Identifier following ARRAYLEN must be the name of an array

Cause: A declared array must be specified as the argument for an ARRAYLEN statement. Declare the array textually before the ARRAYLEN statement. See the Programmer"s Guide to the Oracle Precompilers for the syntax of the ARRAYLEN statement.

Action: Correct the statement, specifying a host array as the argument.

PCC-02359: Identifier specifying ARRAYLEN must be a 4-byte integer

Cause: The expression that specifies the ARRAYLEN dimension must evaluate to an integer. For example, the statement EXEC SQL ARRAYLEN my_array(1,3) cannot be parsed.

Action: Correct the statement, using an integral dimesnsion.

PCC-02360: This array type is invalid for use with ARRAYLEN statement

Cause: Arrays of some host variables types are not allowed and hence also cannot be used in ARRAYLEN statements. VARCHAR and DATE are examples.

Action: Specify an array with a datatype that can be used in host arrays.

PCC-02361: Use of ARRAYLEN with SQL bind arrays is ignored

Cause: ARRAYLEN is only valid with arrays that can be bound in PL/SQL blocks.

Action: Use an appropriate array type.

PCC-02362: Host variable not declared within SQL DECLARE section

Cause: When MODE=ANSI is specified at precompile time, all host variables must be declared inside Declare Sections. Remember that MODE=ANSI refers to ANSI SQL, not ANSI C.

Action: Add the EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION... EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION statements around all host variable declarations.

PCC-02363: Indicator variable must be a structure

Cause: If a host variable is a structure, the associated indicator variable must also be a structure.

Action: Recode the application to create an indicator variable as a structure.

PCC-02364: Host struct and its indicator must have the same number of fields

Cause: When a structure containing indicator variables is declared and associated with a host structure, the indicator structure must contain the same number of fields as the host structure. This is so even when some of the indicators will not be used or even when it would not make sense to do so (for fields constrained as NON NULL, for example).

Action: Redeclare the indicator variable with the correct number of fields.

PCC-02365: Indicator array size cannot be smaller than host array size

Cause: An indicator array must have dimension greater than or equal to the corresponding host variable array dimension.

Action: Change the dimension of the indicator array.

PCC-02366: Command line argument MODE=ANSI may not be used with DBMS=V6

Cause: The semantics of certain operations (such as character comparison) in Oracle version ^ are not 100% compliant with the ANSI/ISO SQL standards. When V6 semantics are requested, using the DBMS=V6 or DBMS=V6_CHAR option, precompilation with MODE=ANSI is not permitted.

Action: Do not use ANSI mode with V6 options.

PCC-02367: This indicator variable must be declared as type short

Cause: An indicator for a host variable of this type must have the C type short. An array of such indicators must be an array of shorts.

Action: Declare the indicator variable or indicator array as type short.

PCC-02368: An EXEC TOOLS host variable context name is not type char

Cause: If a host variable is used to define a context name in an EXEC TOOLS GET CONTEXT or EXEC TOOLS SET CONTEXT statement, that host variable must be of a character type.

Action: Redeclare the context name to a host variable of a char type.

PCC-02369: An EXEC TOOLS host pointer variable is not a pointer

Cause: The host variable specifying an EXEC TOOLS context must be a pointer type.

Action: Redeclare the variable, making sure that it is a pointer.

PCC-02370: An EXEC TOOLS MESSAGE host variable is not type char

Cause: f a host variable is used to define a context name in an EXEC TOOLS GET CONTEXT or EXEC TOOLS SET CONTEXT statement, that host variable must be of a character type.

Action: Declare the message to a host variable of a char type.

PCC-02371: Illegal FOR clause

Cause: The argument of a FOR clause must be specified as an integer or as an identifier containing an integer.

Action: Rewrite the FOR clause.

PCC-02372: FOR clause not allowed in SELECT statement

Cause: A SQL statement containing a SELECT command cannot contain a FOR clause. The meaning of such a statement would be unclear.

Action: Rephrase the SELECT statement, removing the FOR clause.

PCC-02373: Invalid declaration in EXEC SQL DECLARE section

Cause: An improper declaration was placed in a Declare Section. This message is usually caused by including an EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR declaration in a Declare Section.

Action: Move the declaration outside of the SQL DECLARE section.

PCC-02374: SQLCHECK value exceeds command line value

Cause: The value given to the SQLCHECK option in an EXEC ORACLE statement in a program was greater than the value given either on the command line or greater than the default value if no SQLCHECK option was given on the command line. The order of the option values is SEMANTICS>SYNTAX>NONE. When this warning message is issued, the original value of SQLCHECK (the default or the command-line value) stays in effect.

Action: Remove or recode the EXEC Oracle option(s) in the .pc source file to avoid this warning message.

PCC-02375: SQL statement found outside the body of a function

Cause: A SQL statement other than a declarative, datatype equivalence or WHENEVER statement was found outside the body of a function when PARSE=FULL.

Action: Move the SQL statement inside the body of a function.

PCC-02376: You may not declare SQLCODE when DEF_SQLCODE = TRUE

Cause: The DEF_SQLCODE option may not be specified if a SQLCODE declaration already explicitely appears in the program.

Action: Remove the SQLCODE declaration from the program or specify DEF_SQLCODE=NO (the default).

PCC-02377: Arrays of implicit varchars are not permitted

Cause: An array of implicit VARCHARS was declared when HOST_VARCHAR=TRUE.

Action: Rewrite the implicit VARCHAR declaration without using arrays.

PCC-02378: Invalid type for National Language character variable

Cause: A variable declared as a National Language character using the NLS_CHAR option was not declared as a char or implicit VARCHAR.

Action: Declare the variable as a char or implicit VARCHAR or do not specify using the NLS_CHAR option.

PCC-02379: Cannot equivalence National Language character variables

Cause: A National Language character variable (specified using the NLS_CHAR option) has undergone datatype equivalencing using either the EXEC SQL VAR or TYPE statements.

Action: Do not equivalence National Language character variables.

PCC-02380: Cannot specify a connect mode when altering a user password

Cause: An attempt was made to connect in either SYSOPER or SYSDBA mode while at the same time trying to change passwords using the ALTER AUTHORIZATION clause in the same CONNECT statement.

Action: Changing passwords while connecting in SYSOPER or SYSDBA mode is prohibited. Rewrite the connect statement by either removing the ALTER AUTHORIZATION cluase or the CONNECT MODE clause.

PCC-02382: You must specify MODE=ANSI when using NLS_LOCAL=YES

Cause: NLS_CHAR was used to specify NLS multi-byte character variables without specifying MODE=ANSI.

Action: Specify MODE=ANSI on the command line when using NLS_LOCAL=TRUE.

PCC-02383: Expecting an expression of type OCIExtProcContext

Cause: The type of the bind variable given in a REGISTER CONNECT USING statement was not (pointer to) OCIExtProcContext.

Action: Declare a variable having type (pointer to) OCIExtProcContext and use it in the REGISTER CONNECT USING statement.

PCC-02384: Missing array length specifier

Cause: An array declaration was given without an array length specifier.

Action: Provide the length for the array declaration.

PCC-02385: CHAR_MAP disallowed when using NLS_CHAR and NLS_LOCAL=TRUE

Cause: The CHAR_MAP option was specified while indicating which host variables are to be treated by the precompiler as NLS multi-byte character variables. This mapping cannot be performed with the option NLS_LOCAL=TRUE. This error also occurs when DBMS=V6 is used in conjunction with NLS_CHAR and NLS_LOCAL=TRUE.

Action: Remove either the CHAR_MAP option or set NLS_LOCAL=FALSE. Ensure that DBMS is not set to V6.

PCC-02386: Use of the AT clause is not permitted here

Cause: An explicit AT clause was used with an ALLOCATE statement or a FETCH/CLOSE statement also using a SQL_CURSOR declaration.

Action: Remove the AT clause.

PCC-02387: Expecting an expression of type sql_cursor

Cause: A host bind variable was used in an ALLOCATE, FETCH or CLOSE statement that was not declared as a result set SQL_CURSOR.

Action: Declare the variable to be of type sql_cursor.

PCC-02388: Arrays not allowed in FROM/WHERE clause of SELECT statement

Cause: A host array was used in the WHERE clause of a SELECT-INTO statement.

Action: Rewrite the SELECT statement without using arrays or use a cursor.

PCC-02389: Arrays not allowed as input bind variables in SELECT list

Cause: A host array was used in the SELECT list of a SELECT-INTO statement.

Action: Rewrite the SELECT statement without using arrays in SELECT list.

PCC-02390: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement encountered

Cause: No EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement was encountered and the option threads=yes was requested.

Action: Ensure that the necessary context variable (of type sql_context) has been declared and that has been ALLOCATEd and USEd prior to any executable SQL statements.

PCC-02391: Runtime context variable not of correct type

Cause: The host variable in a EXEC SQL CONTEXT USE statement or in the RETURNING clause of a REGISTER CONNECT statement was not declared to be of type SQL_CONTEXT.

Action: Declare the runtime context variable to be of type SQL_CONTEXT.

PCC-02392: You are already in an EXEC SQL DECLARE SECTION

Cause: A SQL DECLARE SECTION appears nested inside another one.

Action: Do not nest DECLARE SECTIONS. Remove any nested inner ones.

PCC-02393: SQL statement found inside an EXEC SQL DECLARE SECTION

Cause: An executable SQL statement appears inside a DECLARE SECTION.

Action: Move the SQL statement into the body of a function.

PCC-02394: Input file name and output filename are identical

Cause: The values of INAME and ONAME are the same or the default output filename is the same as that specified by ONAME.

Action: Use ONAME to specify a different filename for the output file.

PCC-02395: Using arrays of structs requires that the struct be named

Cause: An array of some unnamed struct was used as a host variable. When using arrays of structs, the struct requires a name or tag.

Action: Provide a name for the struct.

PCC-02396: Illegal use of arrays inside an array of structs

Cause: An array of a struct that contained arrays of scalars or two-dimensional char or VARCHAR fields was used as a host variable.

Action: Rewrite the struct so that there are no scalar arrays or two-dimensional char or VARCHAR fields.

PCC-02397: VARCHAR declarations not permitted in #include file

Cause: A VARCHAR declaration was found in a file included using a #include form.

Action: Use the EXEC SQL INCLUDE form to include files with VARCHAR declarations instead.

PCC-02398: Indicator ignored in this statement for this type

Cause: An indicator variable was used in a host/indicator variable pair for some type in a statement that did not require or need one. Typically, indicator variables are not used in ALLOCATE and FREE statements for types other than object or collection types. They are also not used in OBJECT CREATE/DEREF statements for REF types.

Action: Remove the use of the indicator for the type in the specified statement. It will be ignored otherwise.

PCC-02399: Illegal CHAR_MAP option value for DBMS=V6. Option ignored.

Cause: A CHAR_MAP option other than CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2 was specified inline. Since DBMS=V6, this option is ignored for a character or string variable in the offending statement.

Action: Either set DBMS to something other than V6, or specify CHAR_MAP=VARCHAR2.

PCC-02400: This host variable must be declared as a pointer type

Cause: The specified host variable was not declared as a pointer type.

Action: Declare the host variable to be a pointer type.

PCC-02401: Host variable arrays of this type are currently not supported

Cause: Host variable arrays of the specified type are not supported.

Action: Rewrite your program so that there are no arrays of this type.

PCC-02402: Pro*C option OBJECTS=YES is required when using the object cache

Cause: The object cache will be used for this host variable, but OBJECTS=NO was specified on the Pro*C command line.

Action: Specify OBJECTS=YES on the Pro*C command line when using the object cache.

PCC-02403: Invalid indicator variable type for this host variable

Cause: The type of the indicator variable is not appropriate for the specified host variable.

Action: Change the type of the indicator variable to a valid type. Refer to the "Programmer"s Guide to the ORACLE Pro*C/C++ Precompiler" for a discussion of appropriate indicator variable declarations.

PCC-02404: This indicator variable must be declared as a pointer type

Cause: The specified indicator variable was not declared as pointer type.

Action: Declare the indicator variable to be a pointer type.

PCC-02405: Variable is of undefined type

Cause: No declaration was found for the type identifier of the variable.

Action: Provide a valid declaration for the type of the host variable. If using objects in your program, check that the OTT-generated header for the object type was #included and that the typefile was specified in the INTYPE option on the Pro*C command line.

PCC-02406: Expecting the form "RETURN[ING] REF INTO :<ref>" only

Cause: When using the RETURNING clause in an OBJECT CREATE statement, only a single "REF INTO :<host variable>" is expected. This error occurs if the expression list to which REF belongs is greater than one or if there are more than one host variables supplied in the into list.

Action: Rewrite the RETURNING clause as per the given specification.

PCC-02407: Object and REF types do not match

Cause: In an OBJECT CREATE or DEREF statement, the types of the given Object and its associated REF do not match.

Action: Make sure that the Object and its REF have the same type. The type information is generated by OTT and should appear in the header file which OTT creates.

PCC-02408: Expecting an expression of some Object type

Cause: The expression is not an Object type. For example, many host variable expressions in the Navigational statements require that the variable be declared of some Object type.

Action: Rewrite the expression or declare the variable to be an Object.

PCC-02409: Expecting an expression of some REF type

Cause: The expression is not a REF type. For example, some host variables in the Navigational CREATE and DEREF statements are required to be declared of some REF type.

Action: Rewrite the expression or declare the variable to be a REF.

PCC-02410: Expecting an expression of some Collection type.

Cause: The expression is not a Collection type. A VARRAY or Nested Table object was expected, but the given host variable did not resolve to a valid Collection type.

Action: Check that the OTT-generated header for the Collection type was properly #included in the Pro*C/C++ program and that the typefile was specified in the INTYPE option on the Pro*C/C++ command line.

PCC-02411: Invalid type for INDICATOR descriptor item host variable

Cause: The type of the host variable paired with the INDICATOR descriptor item was invalid. The only permissable types for the INDICATOR item are a signed 2 byte numeric type or an indicator struct generated by the Object Type Translator for a user defined object type.

Action: Either replace the INDICATOR host variable with a valid one having an acceptable type or redeclare the existing host variable to be of a valid type.

PCC-02412: FOR clause not permitted in OBJECT GET or SET statement

Cause: An explicit FOR clause was used in an OBJECT GET or OBJECT SET statement. Use of the FOR clause is illegal for these statements.

Action: Remove the FOR clause.

PCC-02413: Number of attributes does not match number of host variables

Cause: The number of attributes supplied in the attribute list of an OBJECT SET of GET statement does not match the total number of host variables also supplied in that statement.

Action: Either remove some attributes or remove some host variables from the statement in order to make the total count for each the same.

PCC-02414: This attribute does not exist in the specified Object

Cause: An attribute given in the attribute list of an OBJECT SET or GET statement is not a member of the specified object in that statement.

Action: Remove the attribute from the list.

PCC-02415: Cannot manipulate Object attributes in an OBJECT GET or SET

Cause: An attempt was made to either GET or SET an attribute of an Object that itself was an Object or REF type.

Action: Remove the attribute from the attribute list in the statement.

PCC-02416: The Object in an OBJECT GET or SET must not be an array

Cause: The Object specified in an OBJECT GET or SET statement is an array which is illegal.

Action: Redeclare the Object so that it is not an array or subscript the Object so that only a single element of the Object array is specified.

PCC-02417: Illegal type conversion between attribute and host variable

Cause: An illegal type conversion was attempted in a Navigational GET or SET statement between the type of the Attribute and the type of the Host Variable.

Action: Change the type of either the Attribute or the Host Variable.

PCC-02418: Array size mismatch between Object and REF host variables

Cause: The array sizes of the Object and REF variables in an OBJECT CREATE or DEREF do not match.

Action: Adjust the array dimensions of the two host variables so that they are equal to one another.

PCC-02419: Host variable arrays not allowed in an OBJECT SET or GET

Cause: An array was found in the host variable list of an OBJECT SET or GET statement.

Action: Only scalars are allowed (except for single dimensioned char or varchar variables) in the host variable list of an OBJECT SET or GET. Make sure to use only scalars in these statements.

PCC-02420: Incomplete (or missing) type specification

Cause: An incomplete or perhaps missing type specification was given when declaring a host variable used in some SQL statement.

Action: Provide a complete type definition when declaring host variables intended for use inside any SQL statements.

PCC-02421: This host variable requires the use of an indicator variable

Cause: No indicator variable was provided (or matched) with a specific host variable where one was explicitely required.

Action: Provide an indicator variable for use with the specified host variable in the given SQL statement.

PCC-02422: Invalid value specified for the given context option

Cause: An illegal value was given for the specified runtime context option in the CONTEXT <option> OPTION SET (or GET) statement.

Action: Use a valid option value in the statement for the specified option being manipulated by the statement.

PCC-02423: Host variable has an invalid type for this option value

Cause: The type of the host variable corresponding to a specific option value in a CONTEXT <option> OPTION SET (or GET) statement is invalid for that particular value.

Action: Use a type suitable for the specific value being manipulated.

PCC-02424: The number of values and host variables does not match

Cause: There is a mismatch between the number of values specified and the number of valid host variables given in a CONTEXT <option> OPTION SET (or GET) statement.

Action: Use the same number of host variables as there are values given in that particular statement.

PCC-02425: An indicator variable is not required with this attribute

Cause: In a LOB or Collection DESCRIBE, an Indicator Variable was used with a Host Variable when retrieving a LOB attribute that doesn"t require one.

Action: Remove the Indicator Variable.

PCC-02426: Incompatible LOB types

Cause: A LOB operation was attempted between LOBs whose types were not compatible. For example, When ASSIGNing one LOB to another, both LOBs must be of the same type. If they are not, this error results.

Action: Correct the LOB operation by having it function between LOBs of the same type. This may require a redeclaration of one of the LOBs used in the LOB statement performing the specified operation.

PCC-02427: Expression is not of the correct character string type

Cause: The given host variable expression was not declared to be of the required character type. In this case, one of several possible character types would have been accepted. However, the host variable type did not match any of them.

Action: Redeclare the problematic host variable, using one of the permitted character types.

PCC-02428: Buffer type is incompatible with LOB type

Cause: This error can occur in either of the following situations
1. An attempt to READ from a LOB into a buffer whose type was not compatible with the LOB type.

2. An attempt to WRITE a buffer into a LOB whose type was not compatible with the buffer type.

Action: Either the LOB type or the buffer type needs to be changed so that the LOB and buffer types become compatible for the specified operation.

PCC-02429: Expecting an expression of some internal LOB type

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be an Internal LOB. BLOB, CLOB or NCLOB would have been accepted, however, the type of the host variable did not match any of these.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using one of the Internal LOB types.

PCC-02430: Expecting an expression of some arbitrary LOB type

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be any type of LOB, Internal or External. In addition to any Internal LOB type, BFILE would also have been accepted, however, the type of the host variable did not match any of these.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using any of the LOB types, Internal or External.

PCC-02431: Expecting an expression of type external LOB (BFILE)

Cause: The given host variable was not declared to be an External LOB. Only BFILE would have been accepted in this case.

Action: Redeclare the host variable using an External LOB type (BFILE).

PCC-02432: Cannot open an external LOB (BFILE) in READ WRITE mode

Cause: An attempt was made to OPEN a BFILE in READ WRITE mode. Writable BFILEs are currently not supported so this operation is considered erroneous.

Action: Do not open BFILEs using READ WRITE mode. BFILEs can only be OPENed in READ ONLY mode.

PCC-02433: Invalid host variable and attribute pairing

Cause: The host variable and attribute pairing in a LOB or Collection DESCRIBE is invalid. Most likely, this was due to some problem with the host variable. For example, this error could occur if the host variable was not declared or is otherwise not provided.

Action: Usually, other, more specific, errors will accompany this one. Correcting some or all of those problems should resolve this error.

PCC-02434: FOR clause not permitted in any LOB statement

Cause: An explicit FOR clause was used in some LOB statement. The use of the FOR clause in LOB statements is erroneous.

Action: Remove the FOR clause.

PCC-02435: This attribute is only valid for internal LOB types

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given LOB was not of some Internal LOB type.

Action: Replace the LOB host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE with one that was declared to be an Internal LOB.

PCC-02436: This attribute is only valid for external LOB types (BFILEs)

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given LOB was not an External LOB type (BFILE).

Action: Use an External LOB (BFILE) host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE statement.

PCC-02437: Expecting an expression having binary integral type

Cause: A host variable was given that was not declared to be of some acceptable binary numberic integral type. Generally, when this error occurs, a signed or unsigned integral type was expected. Floating point or otherwise imprecise numeric types are considered erroneous.

Action: Replace the problematic host variable with one that was declared using a proper exact numeric integral type.

PCC-02438: Arrays of collection objects are not allowed

Cause: An array of collections was given in a COLLECTION statement. Only scalar (non-array) collection objects are allowed in any of the COLLECTION statements.

Action: Change the declaration of the Collection host variable so that it is not an array.

PCC-02439: FOR clause not allowed in this COLLECTION statement

Cause: An illegal FOR clause was used in a COLLECTION statement that did not allow one, particularly, one of either the TRIM or DESCRIBE COLLECTION statements.

Action: Remove the FOR clause from the statement.

PCC-02440: This attribute is valid for either internal or external LOBs

Cause: A request for a LOB attribute was made in a LOB DESCRIBE statement in which the given LOB host variable was neither an Internal an External LOB (BFILE) type.

Action: Use either an Internal or External LOB host variable in the LOB DESCRIBE statement.

PCC-02441: Number of attributes does not match number of host variables

Cause: There is a mismatch between the number of attributes and the number of valid host variables in the LOB or Collection DESCRIBE.

Action: Make sure that for each attribute being requested there is at most a single valid host variable given to hold its value.

PCC-02442: Expecting a value between 1 and 65535 inclusive

Cause: The value specified in the WITH MAX clause of an ALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR statement or the VALUE clause of a GET/SET DESCRIPTOR statement was either less than 1 or greater than 65535.

Action: Specify a value between 1 and 65535 inclusive.

PCC-02443: This usage is only valid when DYNAMIC=ANSI is specified

Cause: One of the following statements was used without specifying a DYNAMIC=ANSI command line option setting
o EXEC SQL ALLOCATE/DEALLOCATE/GET/SET DESCRIPTOR

o EXEC SQL DESCRIBE OUTPUT/INPUT ... USING ... <descriptor>

o EXEC SQL EXECUTE ... INTO ...

o EXEC SQL EXECUTE ... USING ... <descriptor>

o EXEC SQL OPEN ... INTO ...

o EXEC SQL OPEN ... USING ... <descriptor>

Action: Specify DYNAMIC=ANSI or remove statements like those above from the program.

PCC-02444: Invalid combination of descriptor and non-descriptor clauses

Cause: There was a mixing of descriptor and non-descriptor clauses in an ANSI Dynamic SQL statement.

Action: Do not mix descriptors and non-descriptors in the ANSI statement in question.

PCC-02445: USING clause valid only on a PREPAREd dynamic statement

Cause: The USING clause was used with an OPEN cursor statement where the cursor declaration was not for a PREPAREd statement. The correct sequence of statements should be as follows EXEC SQL PREPARE s FROM :stmt; EXEC SQL DECLARE c CURSOR FOR s; EXEC SQL OPEN c USING ...;

Action: Use the PREPARE statement for the SQL statement and use that in the DECLARE CURSOR statement.

PCC-02446: FOR clause not allowed in a DEALLOCATE statement

Cause: An explicit FOR clause was used in a DEALLOCATE DESCRIPTOR statement.

Action: Remove the FOR clause from the statement.

PCC-02447: Cannot specify destination offset in a LOB WRITE APPEND

Cause: A destination offset was specified in a LOB WRITE APPEND statement. The destination offset is assumed to be the end of the LOB so specifying an explicit destination offset is erroneous.

Action: Remove the destination offset from the LOB WRITE APPEND statement.

PCC-02448: Cannot specify a UCS2 variable in the NLS_NCHAR option

Cause: A variable declared as utext, uvarchar, or longuvarchar was specified in the NLS_NCHAR command line option.

Action: Re-precompile without specifying the variable in an NLS_NCHAR command line option.

PCC-02449: Cannot type equivalence a UCS2 type

Cause: A UCS2 type has been type equivalenced in an EXEC SQL TYPE statement or a variable of UCS2 type has been type equivalenced in an EXEC SQL VAR statement.

Action: Remove the EXEC SQL TYPE or EXEC SQL VAR statement.

PCC-02450: Cursor was not declared in scrollable mode

Cause: A cursor which was not DECLAREd in SCROLL mode was used in scrollable mode in the FETCH statement.

Action: Declare the cursor in scroll mode using the SCROLL keyword.

PCC-02451: Value of offset cannot be negative in ABSOLUTE orientation mode

Cause: The offset for the FETCH ABSOLUTE statement is negative.

Action: Value of offset should be positive.

58 SQL-01075 to SQL-02157

SQL-01075: you are currently logged on

Cause: There is already a connection on this host.

Action: Do not attempt the second connection.

SQL-02100: Out of memory (i.e., could not allocate)

Cause: SQLLIB was unable to allocate enough memory to execute the program.

Action: Allocate more memory to the user session, then rerun the program. If the error persists, call customer support for assistance.

SQL-02101: Inconsistent cursor cache. Unit cursor/global cursor mismatch

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02102: Inconsistent cursor cache. No global cursor entry.

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02103: Inconsistent cursor cache. Out of range cursor cache reference

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02104: Inconsistent host cache. No cursor cache available

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02105: Inconsistent cursor cache. Global cursor not found

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02106: Inconsistent cursor cache. Invalid Oracle cursor number

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02107: Program too old for runtime library; please re-precompile it

Cause: The program was precompiled by an older version of the Oracle Precompilers, which is incompatible with this release of SQLLIB.

Action: Precompile the program with a newer version of the Oracle Precompilers.

SQL-02108: Invalid descriptor passed to run-time library

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02109: Inconsistent host cache. Host reference is out of range

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02110: Inconsistent host cache. Invalid host cache entry type

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02111: Heap consistency error

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02112: SELECT..INTO returns too many rows

Cause: A SELECT...INTO statement returned more rows than can be stored in the host variable provided.

Action: There are 3 possible solutions:
1. Use the precompiler option select_error=no.

2. Declare a host variable with a larger array dimension.

3. Declare a cursor or cursor variable for the select statement.

SQL-02113: Unable to open message file

Cause: SQLLIB was unable to find or open the sqllib message file sql*.msb

Action: Check that the file exists in the mesg directory and that it is readable

SQL-02114: Invalid SQL Cursor usage: trying to CLOSE a CLOSEd cursor

Cause: An attempt was made to CLOSE a cursor that was already CLOSEd with MODE={ANSI|ANSI14}. A CLOSEd cursor can be re-CLOSEd only when MODE={ORACLE|ANSI13}.

Action: When MODE={ANSI|ANSI14}, verify that a cursor is not already CLOSEd before trying to CLOSE it. Specify MODE={ORACLE|ANSI13} if a CLOSEd cursor is to be re-CLOSEd.

SQL-02115: Code interpretation problem -- check COMMON_NAME usage

Cause: With PRO*FORTRAN, this error occurs if the precompiler option COMMON_NAME is specified incorrectly. With other Oracle Precompilers, this error occurs when the precompiler cannot generate a section of code.

Action: With Pro*FORTRAN, when using COMMON_NAME to precompile two or more source modules, make sure to specify a different common name for each module. With other Oracle Precompilers, if the error persists, call customer support for assistance.

SQL-02116: FATAL ERROR: Reentrant code generator gave invalid context

Cause: This internal error typically indicates a memory-related error.

Action: Check the program for memory-related errors, such as invalid pointers or array-bounds violations.

SQL-02117: Invalid SQL Cursor usage: trying to OPEN an OPENed cursor

Cause: An attempt was made to OPEN a cursor that was already OPENed with MODE={ANSI|ANSI14|ANSI13}. An open cursor can be re-OPENed only when MODE=ORACLE.

Action: When MODE={ANSI|ANSI14|ANSI13}, verify that a cursor is not already OPENed before trying to OPEN it. Specify MODE=ORACLE if an OPENed cursor is to be re-OPENed.

SQL-02118: Invalid row for a WHERE CURRENT OF operation

Cause: An attempt was made to reference a nonexistent row using the CURRENT OF clause in an UPDATE or DELETE statement. This happens when no FETCH has been executed or when FETCH returns a "no data found" error that the program fails to trap.

Action: Check that the last cursor operation succeeded and that the current row of the cursor is valid. The outcome of a cursor operation can be checked in two ways: implicit checking with the WHENEVER statement or explicit checking of SQLCODE in the SQLCA.

SQL-02119: Invalid HSTDEF argument

Cause: A non-null ptr was given for a hstdef as the second argument to a call to sqlrcn when the first argument was also used. Either the first or the second argument to SQLRCN must be null.

Action: Pass a null pointer in either the first or second argument to SQLRCN. *Note: This error *msg* is never actually used. The error *number* is used, given as the return value of sqlrcn if this error occurs.

SQL-02120: First and second arguments to SQLRCN both null

Cause: Both the first and second arguments to sqlrcn were null. An HSTDEF must be passed into SQLRCN in either the form of an OCI lda (first argument) or as an HSTDEF pointer itself (second argument).

Action: Pass in either an OCI LDA or an HSTDEF, but not both. *Note: This error *msg* is never actually used. The error *number* is used, given as the return value of sqlrcn if this error occurs.

SQL-02121: Invalid host name

Cause: The host name passed into a SQLFCN call was not used in a previous call to SQLRCN.

Action: Use the same identifier used in the corresponding SQLRCN call. *Note: This error *msg* is never actually used. The error *number* is used, given as the return value of sqlfcn if this error occurs.

SQL-02122: Invalid OPEN or PREPARE for this database connection

Cause: An attempt was made to execute an OPEN or a PREPARE statement using a cursor that is currently open for another database connection and, therefore, cannot be used for this connection.

Action: Close the cursor to make it available for this connection or use a different cursor for this connection.

SQL-02123: Context referenced in EXEC TOOLS GET CONTEXT statement not found

Cause: The context name given in the EXEC TOOLS GET CONTEXT statement was never stored with an EXEC TOOLS SET CONTEXT statement.

Action: Use the EXEC TOOLS SET CONTEXT statement to save any contexts to be retrieved later.

SQL-02124: NULL value returned by EXEC TOOLS statement

Cause: A NULL value was returned by EXEC TOOLS for a host variable that lacks an indicator variable. This error is returned only when MODE=ANSI. When MODE=ORACLE, although the value of the host variable is indeterminate, no error is generated.

Action: Associate an indicator variable with each host variable to which nulls might be returned.

SQL-02125: Connect error, can"t get error text

Cause: No connection (not even to the default host) was available, so SQLLIB could not get the message text for the Oracle error that occurred. However, SQLLIB returns the Oracle error number, which can be used to look up the message.

Action: Look up the appropriate message in the Oracle7 Server Messages manual, and follow the Cause and Action information provided.

SQL-02126: Count of array elements cannot be negative (i.e. < 0)

Cause: The precompiler found a negative number of array elements in the the N or F element of the SQLDA (SQL Descriptor Area, which is used with dynamic SQL Method 4). Before executing the DESCRIBE statement, N must be set to the dimension of the descriptor arrays. After executing the DESCRIBE statement, N must be reset to the actual number of variables DESCRIBEd, which is stored in the F variable.

Action: Check that the N or F variables are set to non-negative values.

SQL-02127: Precompiler/SQLLIB version mismatch

Cause: The program was linked to an older version of SQLLIB, which is incompatible with this release of the Oracle Precompilers.

Action: Relink the program with a newer version of SQLLIB

SQL-02128: Sessions still exist, not logged off

Cause: A host was not removed ("logged off") from SQLLIB because XA still has sessions associated with that host.

Action: Before calling SQLXDH to drop a host, XA must either drop all sessions for that host or set the "doit_anyway" flag. *Note: This error *msg* is never actually used. The error *number* is used, given as a possible return value to the sqllib xa function sqlxdh.

SQL-02129: Fetched number of bytes is odd.

Cause: The program tried to FETCH an invalid column value into a multi-byte NLS host variable. Specifically, the column did not contain valid double-byte data.

Action: Make sure the column contains only double-byte data. To verify this, use SQL*Plus or Server Manager.

SQL-02130: EXEC TOOLS interface is not available.

Cause: An attempt was made to link with a version of an Oracle tool that does not support the EXEC TOOLS interface. EXEC TOOLS interface.

Action: Either upgrade the Oracle tool, or use the EXEC IAF interface.

SQL-02131: Runtime context in use

Cause: Your application attempted to execute a SQL statement using a runtime context that is already in use.

Action: Rewrite the application to either wait for one thread to complete before executing another SQL statement with the same runtime context, or to allocate and use a separate runtime context for each thread.

SQL-02132: Unable to allocate runtime context sdfla asdjklfajs jfja ajsdf

Cause: An attempt to allocate a runtime context failed.

Action: This error typically occurs when the process memory is low. Allocate more memory and run the application again.

SQL-02133: Unable to initialize process for use with threads

Cause: This is an internal error.

Action: Call customer support.

SQL-02134: Invalid runtime context

Cause: The runtime context associated with this statement has not been properly allocated.

Action: Rewrite the application to execute the EXEC SQL CONTEXT ALLOCATE statement before executing any SQL statements.

SQL-02135: Unable to initialize date format using supplied mask

Cause: The runtime library was unable to issue a set date format statement with the date format mask supplied.

Action: Check the validity of the date format and correct if necessary. Check the ORA error number for further information.

SQL-02136: Invalid NCHAR character set id

Cause: An attempt was made to bind or define an NCHAR host variable, and the NLS_NCHAR variable was not set correctly.

Action: Set the NLS_NCHAR environment variable to a valid fixed width character set id and run the application again.

SQL-02137: Multi-threaded agent with no RETURNING clause present

Cause: The EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT statement does not contain a RETURNING clause and the agent is running in threaded mode.

Action: Re-code the statement to use a RETURNING clause that references a declared sql_context host variable.

SQL-02138: No external procedure context exists

Cause: The external procedure context passed in the EXEC SQL REGISTER CONNECT statement is not valid.

Action: Ensure that you have done the following:
1. Created the PL/SQL procedure/function with a CONTEXT parameter.

Cause: A "use" attribute had an invalid value. Choices for "use" are "default", "fixed", "optional", "prohibited", or "required".

Action: Change the attribute to one of the above values.

LSX-00134: attribute "~1S" has invalid qualification "~2S"

Cause: An attribute that specifies qualification (form, attributeFormDefault, elementFormDefault) was invalid; it must be one of "qualified" or "unqualified".

Action: Change the attribute to one of the above values.

LSX-00135: invalid min/max Occurs for <all> element, must be 0/1

Cause: "minOccurs" has a value other than 0/1 or "maxOccurs" has a value other than 1.

Action: Specify 0/1 for "minOccurs" or "maxOccurs".

LSX-00136: "maxOccurs" is less than "minOccurs"

Cause: The value of the "maxOccurs" specification is less than the value of the "minOccurs" specification.

Action: Correct "minOccurs" or "maxOccurs".

LSX-00141: ID type may only be used in attributes

Cause: For backward compatibility with DTD, ID type may only be used in attributes.

Action: Remove the ID type.

Action: Declare only one member of the {attribute uses} whose {type definition} is from ID or will be derived from ID.

LSX-00150: attributeGroup reference shouldn"t have children

Cause: A reference-to-attributeGroup element has children. It is suppose to be empty except for annotations.

Action: Remove the children.

LSX-00151: invalid combination of attributes "ref" and "name"

Cause: If the item"s parent is not <schema>, then either the "ref" or the "name" attribute must be present, but not both. Top-level elements or attributes must have a name.

Action: Specify either the "ref" or "name" attribute.

LSX-00152: only "minOccurs", "maxOccurs", or "id" is allowed

Cause: If the item"s parent is not <schema> and "ref" is present, then "complexType", "simpleType", "key", "keyref", "unique", "nillable", "default", "fixed", "form", "block", and "type" must be absent.

Action: Remove the prohibited attribute.

LSX-00153: invalid combination of default and fixed attributes

Cause: It is an error for a declaration to contain both fixed and default attributes.

Action: Remove either the default or the fixed attributes.

LSX-00154: attribute "use" must have its value set to "optional"

Cause: If "default" and "use" are both present, use must have its value set to "optional".

Action: Remove the default attribute or change the value of the "use" attribute.

LSX-00155: invalid use of attribute "ref"

LSX-00162: string "~S" is an invalid default for the complex type

Cause: If the {content type} is a simple type definition, then the string must be valid with regard to the simple type definition as defined by String Valid (3.14.4). If the {content type} is mixed, then the {content type}"s particle must be emptiable as defined by Particle Emptiable (3.9.6). However, one of these conditions was not met, resulting in this error.

Action: Make the default string a valid default with regard to the complex type definition.

LSX-00163: duplicated content specification in "~S"

Cause: There was a duplicate content specification in the children of complexType.

Action: Remove the duplicate content specification.

LSX-00164: no content specified in "~S"

Cause: In a simpleContent specification, either "restriction" or "extension" was not specified as a child.

Action: Add either a "restriction" or an "extension" element information item.

LSX-00165: content type of "~S" must be simple type

Cause: The content type of the type definition was not a simple type definition.

Action: Use complexContent instead of simpleContent .

LSX-00166: both content types must be mixed or both must be element-only

Cause: If the content types of the derived type and base type are not the same simple type definition and the content type of the base type is not empty, then both content types must be mixed or both must be element-only. This was not the case, resulting in this error.

Action: Add attribute mixed="true" or remove it.

LSX-00169: circular group reference is disallowed outside <redefine>

Cause: There was a circular group reference.

Action: One of the group references needs to be changed to a group definition.

LSX-00170: union must have memberTypes attribute or some simpleType children

Cause: There was no member type definition for the union declaration.

Action: Add memberTypes attribute or simpleType children.

LSX-00171: missing required sub-element "~S"

Cause: The sub-element specified in the error message was required.

Action: Modify either or both element declaration particles.

LSX-00174: "~S" is not a valid derivation of "~S"

Cause: The schema component constraint, Derivation Valid (Restriction, simple), (Restriction, complex) or (Extension), was violated.

Action: Modify the base type or the derived type definition.

LSX-00175: a complex base within "simpleContent" must have simple content

Cause: A complex base within "simpleContent" was not restricted to contain only simple content.

Action: Modify the base type or the derived type definition.

LSX-00176: circular reference detected in schema component named "~S"

Cause: An attempt was made to use a circular reference. This is not allowed. For example, it is not possible to return to an element declaration by repeatedly following the {substitution group affiliation} property. Or, within the {particles} of a group there must not be at any depth a particle whose {term} is the group itself.

Action: Modify one of the schema components in the loop.
