Database Error Messages

ORA-08243

recursive audit operation attempted

Cause

A recursive operation subject to an enabled audit policy was attempted during an auditing operation or an audit table movement operation. The most likely reasons are: (1) Space management operations were running to free up space in the audit tablespace. (2) A SQL operation was being performed on dictionary tables (either directly or using database triggers) that produced more audit records.


Action

Check the space in the tablespace for SYS.AUD$ or SYS.FGA_LOG$ and extend the tablespace, if necessary. Or, if the problem was caused by recursively auditing SQL operations, change or remove the audit policy on such objects or statements.
