12C ORA-错误汇总10 ORA-12500 to ORA-19400

ORA-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.
ORA-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.
ORA-12503: TNS:listener received an invalid REGION from client
Cause: Invalid REGION was passed to the listener.
Action: Check the REGION name specified in the CONNECT_DATA component
of the connect descriptor.
ORA-12504: TNS:listener was not given the SERVICE_NAME in CONNECT_DATA
Cause: The listener was not configured with a default service and SERVICE_
NAME was missing from the CONNECT_DATA received by the listener.
Action: Possible solutions are:
- Configure DEFAULT_SERVICE parameter in LISTENER.ORA with a valid
service name. Reload the listener parameter file using reload [<listener_name>].
This should be done by the LISTENER administrator.
- If using a service name, Check that the connect descriptor corresponding to the
service name in TNSNAMES.ORA has a SERVICE_NAME or SID component in
the CONNECT_DATA.
ORA-12505: 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.
12-2 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action:
- Wait a moment and try to connect a second time.
- Check which instances are currently known by the listener by executing: lsnrctl
services <listener name>
- Check that the SID parameter in the connect descriptor specifies an instance
known by the listener.
- Check for an event in the listener.log file.
ORA-12508: 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.
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>
ORA-12500 to ORA-12699 12-3
- 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.
12-4 Oracle Database Error Messages
- 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.
ORA-12500 to ORA-12699 12-5
Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, then contact the database
administrator to check the status of the instances.
ORA-12528: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections
Cause: All instances supporting the service requested by the client reported that
they were blocking the new connections. This condition may be temporary, such as
at instance startup.
Action: Attempt the connection again. If error persists, then contact the
administrator to check the status of the instances.
ORA-12529: TNS:connect request rejected based on current filtering rules
Cause: Connection Manager and its listener were configured with filtering rules
specifying that the connect request be rejected.
Action: If this connect request should be allowed, then contact the administrator
to modify the filtering rules.
ORA-12531: TNS:cannot allocate memory
Cause: Sufficient memory could not be allocated to perform the desired activity.
Action: Either free some resource for TNS, or add more memory to the machine.
For further details, turn on tracing and reexecute the operation.
ORA-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.
ORA-12533: TNS:illegal ADDRESS parameters
Cause: An illegal set of protocol adapter parameters was specified. In some cases,
this error is returned when a connection cannot be made to the protocol transport.
Action: Verify that the destination can be reached using the specified protocol.
Check the parameters within the ADDRESS section of TNSNAMES.ORA. Legal
ADDRESS parameter formats may be found in the Oracle operating system
specific documentation for your platform. Protocols that resolve names at the
transport layer (such as DECnet object names) are vulnerable to this error if not
properly configured or names are misspelled.
ORA-12534: TNS:operation not supported
Cause: An internal function received a request to perform an operation that is not
supported (on this machine).
Action: Not normally visible to the user. For further details, turn on tracing and

See SQLNET.LOG to find secondary error if not provided explicitly. Turn on
tracing to gather more information.
ORA-12536: TNS:operation would block
Cause: An internal operation did not commence because to do so would block the
current process and the user has requested that operations be non-blocking.
Action: None needed; this is an information message.
12-6 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed
Cause: "End of file" condition has been reached; partner has disconnected.
Action: None needed; this is an information message.
ORA-12538: TNS:no such protocol adapter
Cause: The protocol adapter requested (by way of the "(PROTOCOL=..)"
keyword-value pair in a TNS address) is unknown. If the supplied address is
typographically correct then the protocol adapter is not installed.
Action: Install the protocol adapter or correct typographically error, as
appropriate. Note: if the supplied address was derived from resolving the service
name, check the address in the appropriate file (TNSNAMES.ORA,
LISTENER.ORA or SQLNET.ORA).
ORA-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.
ORA-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded
Cause: Too many TNS connections open simultaneously.
Action: Wait for connections to close and re-try.
ORA-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.

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

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.
ORA-12649: Unknown encryption or data integrity algorithm
Cause: A 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.
ORA-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.
ORA-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.
ORA-12652: String truncated
Cause: Not enough memory was allocated for a string so it had to be truncated

packet was tampered with or otherwise corrupted in transit.
12-16 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Look for sources of data corruption, perhaps including deliberate
tampering.
ORA-12657: No algorithms installed
Cause: The near side of the connection required the use of a service (either
encryption or checksumming) when no algorithms for that service were installed.
Action: Remove the "ON" requirement for that service.
ORA-12658: ANO service required but TNS version is incompatible
Cause: A client process that is running an earlier version of TNS attempted to
connect but the connection failed because the server process required that an ANO
service (authentication, encryption, etc.) be used.
Action: Relink the calling executable and retry the connection or eliminate the
requirement that the service be used on the server side.
ORA-12659: Error received from other process
Cause: An error was received by one or more services from the process on the
other side of the connection.
Action: Enable tracing to determine the exact error(s). The error(s) is (are) not
returned directly because an error generated by a server may not make sense on
the client side and vice-versa.
ORA-12660: Encryption or crypto-checksumming parameters incompatible
Cause: One side of the connection specified "REQUIRED" for encryption or
crypto-checksumming, while the other side specified "REJECTED".
Action: Change the "REQUIRED" side to "REQUESTED" if the you want
encryption or crypto-checksumming to be optional, or change the "REJECTED"
side to "ACCEPTED" if you do not want the service to be optional.

Action: Ensure that keyword REBUILD immediately follows the name of the
index being altered
ORA-14056: partition number string: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not
exceed 100
Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a partition whose number
(partitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message exceeds 100.
Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this partition were not
specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index would be
used. If, in turn, default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for the partitioned
table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-89
Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the partition does not
exceed 100
ORA-14057: partition "string": sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100
Cause: the sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a partition whose name (explicitly
specified by the user) is displayed in this message exceeds 100. Note that if
PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this partition were not specified explicitly,
default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If, in turn, default
PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for the partitioned table or index were not
specified, system defaults would be used.
Action: ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the partition does not
exceed 100
ORA-14058: partition 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 partition whose number (partitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in
this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this partition
were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index
would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for the
partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.
Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explcitly or derived
from the default value for the partitioned table or index) is no greater than that of
MAXTRANS
ORA-14059: partition "string": INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS
value
Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for
a partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this
message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this partition
were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index
would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for the
partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.
Action: ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explcitly or derived
from the default value for the partitioned table or index) is no greater than that of
MAXTRANS

ORA-14065: ALLOCATE STORAGE may not be specified for a partitioned table
Cause: User specified ALLOCATE STORAGE clause in ALTER TABLE statement
issued against a partitioned table which is illegal.
Action: Remove the illegal option. If it is desired to add storage to individual
partitions, ALLOCATE STORAGE clause may be specified with ALTER TABLE
MODIFY PARTITION statement.
ORA-14066: illegal option for a non-partitioned index-organized table
Cause: An attempt was made to issue a CREATE or ALTER TABLE command on
a non-partitioned IOT, but the command contains an option that is legal only for
partitioned index-organized tables. Such options are: ENABLE ROW
MOVEMENT and DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT.
Action: Remove the illegal option(s) from the command.
ORA-14067: duplicate TABLESPACE_NUMBER specification
Cause: TABLESPACE_NUMBER clause was specified more than once for an table,
index or an index partition
Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the
slaves
ORA-14068: TABLESPACE and TABLESPACE_NUMBER may not be both specified
Cause: Both TABLESPACE and TABLESPACE_NUMBER clauses were specified
for a table, index or an index partition
Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the
slaves
ORA-14069: invalid TABLESPACE_NUMBER value
Cause: The TABLESPACE_NUMBER value is not an integer between 0 and
0x7FFFFFFF
Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the
slaves
ORA-14070: option may be specified only for partitioned indices or with REBUILD
Cause: User issued ALTER INDEX statament containing an option which is legal
only for partitioned indices or in conjunction with REBUILD against a
non-partitioned index. Such options are: PCTFREE, TABLESPACE,
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-91
[NO]PARALLEL and INITIAL, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS inside
STORAGE clause
Action: Remove illegal option(s).
ORA-14071: invalid option for an index used to enforce a constraint
Cause: An option other than COMPRESS, NOCOMPRESS, PCTFREE, INITRANS,
MAXTRANS, STORAGE, TABLESPACE, PARALLEL, NOPARALLEL,
RECOVERABLE, UNRECOVERABLE, LOGGING, NOLOGGING, LOCAL, or
GLOBAL was specified for an index used to enforce a constraint.
Action: Choose one of the valid index options.
ORA-14072: fixed table may not be truncated
Cause: User attempted to truncate a fixed table which is illegal.
Action: Ensure that the table being truncated is not a fixed table.
ORA-14073: bootstrap table or cluster may not be truncated
Cause: User attempted to truncate a bootstrap table or cluster which is illegal
Action: Ensure that the table (or cluster) being truncated is not a bootstrap table
(or cluster)
ORA-14074: partition bound must collate higher than that of the last partition
Cause: Partition bound specified in ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statement
did not collate higher than that of the table's last partition, which is illegal.
Action: Ensure that the partition bound of the partition to be added collates
higher than that of the table's last partition.
ORA-14075: partition maintenance operations may only be performed on
partitioned indices
Cause: Index named in ALTER INDEX partition maintenance operation is not
partitioned, making a partition maintenance operation, at best, meaningless
Action: Ensure that the index named in ALTER INDEX statement specifying a
partition maintenance operation is, indeed, partitioned
ORA-14076: submitted alter index partition/subpartition operation is not valid for
local partitioned index
Cause: User attempted to either drop, split, add or coalesce a partition or a
subpartition of a local index which is illegal.
Action: Ensure that the index named in such statement is a global partitioned
index.
ORA-14078: you may not drop the highest partition of a GLOBAL index
Cause: User attempted to drop highest partition of a GLOBAL index, which is
illegal.
Action: Ensure that the partition specified in ALTER INDEX DROP PARTITION
statement is not the highest partition of the index.
ORA-14079: illegal option for a partition marked Index Unusable
Cause: ALTER INDEX MODIFY PARTITION statement against an index partition
marked Index Unusable contained STORAGE and/or DEALLOCATE SPACE
clauses which is illegal
Action: Ensure that only valid optins are specified
13-92 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-14080: partition cannot be split along the specified high bound
Cause: User attempted to split a partition along a bound which either collates
higher than that of the partition to be split or lower than that of a partition
immediately preceding the one to be split
Action: Ensure that the bound along which a partition is to be split collates lower
than that of the partition to be split and higher that that of a partition immediately
preceding the one to be split
ORA-14081: new partition name must differ from the old partition name
Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying
<new-partition-name> which is identical to the name of the partition being
renamed
Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any
(including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index
ORA-14082: new partition name must differ from that of any other partition of the
object
Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying
<new-partition-name> which is identical to the name of some existing partition of
the object
Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any
(including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index
ORA-14083: cannot drop the only partition of a partitioned table
Cause: A drop partition command is being executed when there is only one
partition in the table
Action: Ensure that there is at least one partition. Drop table to remove all
partitions
ORA-14084: you may specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT only for a LOCAL index
Cause: User attempted to specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT for an object other
than a LOCAL index, which is illegal.
Action: Reenter the statement without TABLESPACE DEFAULT clause.
ORA-14085: partitioned table cannot have column with LONG datatype
Cause: User tried to create a partitioned table with a LONG datatype or tried to
add a LONG datatype column to a partitioned table.
Action: LONG data types are not supported with partitioned tables. Create table
without LONG column or change table to not partitioned. If adding column, do
not use LONG datatype. If modifying attributes of a column to change data type
to LONG, it has to be a non partitioned table.
ORA-14086: a partitioned index may not be rebuilt as a whole
Cause: User attempted to rebuild a partitioned index using ALTER INDEX
REBUILD statement, which is illegal
Action: Rebuild the index a partition at a time (using ALTER INDEX REBUILD
PARTITION) or drop and recreate the entire index
ORA-14094: invalid ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION option

ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-93
Action: Ensure that no options besides INCLDING INDEX or EXCLUDING
INDEX are specified with ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
ORA-14095: ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE requires a non-partitioned, non-clustered
table
Cause: The table in the EXCHANGE operation is either clustered or partitioned
Action: Ensure that the table with which the partition is being exchanged for is
not partitioned or clustered.
ORA-14096: tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION must have the same
number of columns
Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have different number of
columns
Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the
same type and size.
ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE
PARTITION
Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE
EXCHANGE PARTITION are of different type or size
Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the
same type and size.
ORA-14098: index mismatch for tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have indexes which are not
equivalent
Action: Ensure that the indexes for the two tables have indexes which follow this
rule For every non partitioned index for the non partitioned table, there has to be
an identical LOCAL index on the partitioned table and vice versa. By identical, the
column position, type and size have to be the same.
ORA-14099: all rows in table do not qualify for specified partition
Cause: There is at least one row in the non partitioned table which does not
qualify for the partition specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
Action: Ensure that all the rows in the segment qualify for the partition. Perform
the alter table operation with the NO CHECKING option. Run ANALYZE table
VALIDATE on that partition to find out the invalid rows and delete them.

ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause,
create an object with LOGGING option.
ORA-14104: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified for
partitioned tables/indices
Cause: CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement used to create a partitioned
table/index contained RECOVERABLE or UNRECOVERABLE clause which is
illegal
Action: Remove offending clause. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8
and will be obsoleted in V9. To duplicate semantics of UNRECOVERABLE clause,
create an object with NOLOGGING option and then ALTER it specifying
LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause, create an object
with LOGGING option.
ORA-14105: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified in this
context
Cause: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE clause is not allowed in this
context.
Action: Remove offending clause. RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may
only be specified in CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement describing a
non-partitioned table or index and ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement.
[UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8 and will be obsoleted in V9. To
duplicate semantics of UNRECOVERABLE clause, create an object with
NOLOGGING option and then ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate
semantics of RECOVERABLE clause, create an object with LOGGING option.
ORA-14106: LOGGING/NOLOGGING may not be specified for a clustered table
Cause: User attempted to specify LOGGING or NOLOGGING clausein CREATE
TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement involving a clustered table
Action: Remove offending clause.
ORA-14107: partition specification is required for a partitioned object
Cause: parameter which supplies partition name is missing. This parameter is
optional for non-partitioned objects, but is required for partitioned objects.
Action: supply missing parameter
ORA-14108: illegal partition-extended table name syntax
Cause: Partition to be accessed may only be specified using its name. User
attempted to use a partition number or a bind variable.
Action: Modify statement to refer to a partition using its name
ORA-14109: partition-extended object names may only be used with tables and
editioning views
Cause: An attempt was made to use a partition-extended object name with an
object which was not a table or an editioning view.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-95
Action: Avoid using partition-extended name syntax with objects which are not
tables or editioning views
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.
13-96 Oracle Database Error Messages
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-12700 to ORA-19400 13-97
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
13-98 Oracle Database Error Messages
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 is a temporary table
- it contains ADT columns
- it contains nested-table columns
- it contains REF columns
- it contains array columns
- it is an index-organized table
- it contains LOB columns
- it is a nested table
- it is created with row dependency and the partitioned table is not
- it is created without row dependency and the partitioned table is
Action: Make sure the non-partitioned table does not violate any of the above
restrictions for the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION | SUBPARTITION
command.
ORA-14133: 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.

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.

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.
13-102 Oracle Database Error Messages

this context.
Action: Remove the invalid option.
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-12700 to ORA-19400 13-105

ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-125
Cause: An attempt has been made to create a partitioned object in a manner that
would require the partitioned object to span tablespaces of more than one block
size.
Action: Ensure that all tablespaces specified in the DDL command for the given
object as well as any tablespaces implicitly assigned to partitions or subpartitions
of the object being created are all of the same block size.
ORA-14520: Tablespace string block size [string] does not match existing object
block size [string]
Cause: A DDL statement was issued that would require a tablespace of a block
size different from the block size of the specified partitioned object to be assigned
either: (1) As the object's default tablespace (or one of the object's partition-level
default tablespaces, if composite partitioning is being used) OR (2) To one of the
object's partitions/subpartitions.
Action: Specify a tablespace of the same block size as the partitioned object.
ORA-14521: Default tablespace string block size [string] for string string does not
match existing string block size [string]
Cause: A DDL statement was issued that would require creation of a new
partition/subpartition in the object-level default tablespace of an existing
partitioned object. However, the object-level default tablespace block size does not
match the block size of the partitioned object.
Action: Either (1) Modify the default tablespace of the partitioned object to a
tablespace of the same block size as the object and then retry the DDL command,
OR (2) Ensure that tablespaces of the correct block size are specified for all new
partitions/subpartitions being created.

subpartition in one of the partition-level default tablespaces of an existing
composite partitioned object. However, the partition-level default tablespace block
size does not match the block size of the partitioned object.
Action: Either (1) Modify the partition-level default tablespace of the appropriate
partition of the partitioned object to a tablespace of the same block size as the
object and then retry the DDL command, OR (2) Ensure that tablespaces of the
correct block size are specified for all new subpartitions being created.
ORA-14523: Cannot co-locate [sub]partition of string string with table
[sub]partition because string block size [string] does not match table block size
[string]
Cause: A DDL statement was issued that would require a partition/subpartition
of a local index/LOB column to be co-located with the corresponding
partition/subpartition of the base table. However, this is not possible because the
block sizes of the table and the LOB column/local index are different.
Action: Either (1) Specify an object-level default tablespace (or partition-level
default tablespace for the appropriate partition, if composite partitioning is used)
for the partitioned local index/LOB column and then retry the DDL command, OR
(2) Ensure that tablespaces of the correct block size are specified for all new
partitions/subpartitions being created. Also ensure that neither of TABLESPACE
DEFAULT and STORE IN (DEFAULT) is specified for a local index whose block
size does not match that of the base table.

or ensure that exactly one table matches the specified table.
ORA-14709: index mismatch for table "string"."string" in ALTER TABLE
EXCHANGE [SUB]PARTITION
Cause: An ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE [SUB]PARTITION command was
attempted for the specified table, however, the exchange table did not have
equivalent indexes.
Action: Ensure that the indexes for the two tables have indexes which follow this
rule: For every nonpartitioned index for the nonpartitioned table, there has to be
an identical LOCAL index on the partitioned table and vice versa. To be identical,
the column position type and size have to be the same.
ORA-14750: Range partitioned table with INTERVAL clause has more than one
column
Cause: You attempted to create an interval partitioned table with more than one
partitioning column.
Action: Use a single partitioning column.
ORA-14751: Invalid data type for partitioning column of an interval partitioned
table

column of data type other than number or date/time.
Action: Use only number or date/time columns as partitioning columns for
interval partitioned tables.
ORA-14752: Interval expression is not a constant of the correct type
Cause: You attempted to use either a nonconstant interval or an interval whose
data type does not correspond to the partitioning column
Action: Use only constant expressions for the interval. If the data type of
partitioning column is numeric, the interval must be a numeric constant. If the
data type is of type date/time, the interval must be a constant of interval type
ORA-14753: Interval cannot be zero
Cause: The interval mapped to zero.
Action: You must use a nonzero interval.
ORA-14754: Interval string is too long
Cause: The interval string was too long
Action: Specify interval using a shorter string
ORA-14755: Invalid partition specification for FOR VALUES clause.
Cause: The [SUB]PARTITION FOR VALUES (...) clause can only take constants. In
addition it takes as many arguments as there are partitioning columns and the
values must be coercible to the partitioning columns.
Action: Specify a valid FOR VALUES clause.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-137
ORA-14756: Table is not partitioned by Interval method.
Cause: The table was not partitioned by Interval method.
Action: ALTER TABLE SET STORE IN is only valid for Interval partitioned tables.

that was already part of another diskgroup, or an attempt was made to DROP /
OFFLINE / ONLINE / CHECK a disk that was not part of the specified
diskgroup.
Action: For ADD and REPLACE, check the path specifier for the disk. If it is
certain that the disk is not in use by another diskgroup, the FORCE option may be
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-145
used to override this check. For the other commands, check the name of the
specified disk.
ORA-15034: disk 'string' does not require the FORCE option
Cause: An attempt was made to add the disk to the diskgroup using the FORCE
option. The disk was not found to be in use at the present time, so the FORCE
option was not permitted.
Action: Avoid gratuitous use of the FORCE option.
ORA-15035: no disks belong to diskgroup "string"
Cause: An attempt was made to mount a diskgroup for which no member disks
were discovered.
Action: Specify a valid diskgroup name that contains disks.
ORA-15036: disk 'string' is truncated
Cause: The size of the disk, as reported by the operating system, was smaller than
the size of the disk as recorded in the disk header block on the disk.
Action: Check if the system configuration has changed.
ORA-15037: disk 'string' is smaller than mimimum of string MBs
Cause: The size of the disk, as reported by the operating system, was too small to
allow the disk to become part of the diskgroup.
Action: Check if the system configuration is correct.
ORA-15038: disk 'string' mismatch on 'string' with target disk group [string] [string]
Cause: An attempt was made to mount into a disk group a disk whose recorded
allocation unit size, metadata block size, physical sector size, or creation time
stamp was inconsistent with the other disk group members.

the owner of the ORACLE binary has read/write permission to the disks, and that
the ASM_DISKSTRING initialization parameter has been set correctly. Verify that
ASM discovers the appropriate disks by querying V$ASM_DISK from the ASM
instance.
ORA-15064: communication failure with ASM instance
Cause: There was a failure to communicate with the ASM instance, most likely
because the connection went down.
Action: Check the accompanying error messages for more information on the
reason for the failure. Note that database instances will always return this error
when the ASM instance is terminated abnormally.
ORA-15065: hash collision for diskgroup names 'string' and 'string'
Cause: There was a collision in the group name used for the diskgroup. The
diskgroup(s) cannot be mounted using colliding names.
Action: Use a different diskgroup name and also report to Oracle Support
Services the two diskgroup names which collided.
ORA-15066: offlining disk "string" in group "string" may result in a data loss
Cause: Following I/O failures, the disks holding all copies of a data block were
attempted to be taken offline.
Action: Check the accompanying error messages for more information on the
reason for the disk I/O failures.
ORA-15067: command or option incompatible with diskgroup redundancy
Cause: An attempt was made to use a feature which is not permitted by the
diskgroup's redundancy policy. Common examples are forcibly dropping a disk
from an EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY diskgroup, using the FAILGROUP clauses
with an EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY diskgroup, or using invalid template
attributes.
Action: Omit the option from the command.
ORA-15068: maximum number of diskgroups string already mounted
Cause: An attempt was made to mount more diskgroups than the instance is
capable of mounting at one time.
Action: Dismount a mounted diskgroup and retry the command.
ORA-15069: ASM file 'string' not accessible; timed out waiting for lock
Cause: An attempt was made to access an ASM file, but the file is currently being
created, resized, or deleted and therefore cannot be accessed.
Action: No action required, or try again later, after the create or resize has
completed.
ORA-15070: maximum number of files string exceeded in diskgroup "string"
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-149
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 or replace a disk that 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 that 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 regular failure groups, discovered
only string
Cause: An attempt was made to create either a normal redundancy diskgroup for
which fewer than two regular failure groups were both specified and discovered,
or a high redundancy diskgroup for which fewer than three regular failure groups
were both specified and discovered, or an external redundancy diskgroup for
which only quorum disks 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. Note that
a quorum failure group will not be used as a regular failure group. An external
redundancy diskgroup requires at least one regular disk.
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 string is not visible on instance number string
Cause: An ALTER DISKGROUP ADD DISK command specified a disk that could
not be discovered.
Action: Check operating system permissions for the device and the storage
subsystem configuration on the specified node.
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.
13-150 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: If you want to start a database instance, start an ASM instance and mount
the required diskgroup. If you want to start an ASM instance, relink the ORACLE
binary with ASM_ON or explicitly set INSTANCE_TYPE initialization parameter
to ASM.
ORA-15078: ASM diskgroup was forcibly dismounted
Cause: The diskgroup to which the I/O request was issued was forcibly
dismounted (with the ALTER DISKGROUP DISMOUNT FORCE command) so
that it could not be accessed.
Action: Mount the diskgroup to allow access again.
ORA-15079: ASM file is closed
Cause: The file to which the I/O request was issued was closed. This could have
been a consequence of the diskgroup being dismounted.
Action: Make sure the diskgroup is mounted and the file is open.
ORA-15080: synchronous I/O operation failed to string block string of disk string in
disk group string
Cause: A synchronous I/O operation invoked on a disk has failed.
Action: Make sure that all of the disks are operational.
ORA-15081: failed to submit an I/O operation to a disk
Cause: A submission of an I/O operation to a disk has failed.
Action: Make sure that all the disks are operational.
ORA-15082: ASM failed to communicate with client
Cause: There was a failure or time out when ASM tried to communicate with a
connected RDBMS or Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM)
client.
Action: Check the accompanying error messages and alert logs for more
information on the reason for the failure. Check system specific logs
(/var/log/messages on Linux, Event Log on Windows) for Oracle ADVM
messages.
ORA-15083: failed to communicate with ASMB background process
Cause: A database instance failed to communicate with its ASMB background
process when attempting to access an ASM file.
Action: Check the alert log for more information on the reason for the failure.
ORA-15084: ASM disk "string" is offline and cannot be dropped.
Cause: An attempt was made to drop a disk that is offline.
Action: Check the ASM disk name as specified in the command; or, if needed, use
the DROP DISK FORCE option.
ORA-15085: disk "string" has inconsistent sector size (expected string, actual string)
with disk group "string"
Cause: An attempt to mount a disk group failed because a disk reported
inconsistent sector size value.
Action: Use disks with sector size consistent with disk group sector size, or make
sure the operating system can accurately report the disk sector size.
ORA-15086: Diskgroup sector size must be specified.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-151
Cause: The _disk_sector_size_override parameter was used but the sector disk
value was not specified in the command.
Action: Specify the sector size value, or do not set (or do not set to TRUE) the _
disk_sector_size_override parameter.
ORA-15087: disk 'string' is formatted as an ext2/ext3 or OCFS2 file system.
Cause: A signature was found on the specified disk indicating that it is in use by
an existing ext2/ext3 or OCFS2 file system.
Action: Adjust discovery string and device permissions to exclude previously
formatted disks from discovery.
ORA-15088: diskgroup creation incomplete
Cause: A previous failure during diskgroup creation left the diskgroup in an
inconsistent state.
Action: Issue DROP DISKGROUP ... FORCE INCLUDING CONTENTS to clean
up the failed creation, then re-create the diskgroup.
ORA-15090: handle string is not a valid descriptor
Cause: The file handle was not valid in this session.
Action: Submit a handle obtained from a successful call to DBMS_
DISKGROUP.OPEN().
ORA-15091: operation incompatible with open handle in this session
Cause: The current session contained an open handle from the DBMS_
DISKGROUP PL/SQL package which precluded performing the command.
Action: Execute the command in a different session.
ORA-15092: I/O request size string is not a multiple of logical block size string
Cause: The length of the request was not a multiple of logical block size.
Action: Correct the error and retry the operation.
ORA-15093: buffer only contains string bytes, I/O requested is string bytes
Cause: The buffer supplied for write was too small to satisfy the request.
Action: Correct the error and retry the operation.
ORA-15094: attempted to write to file opened in read only mode
Cause: The file handle passed to DBMS_DISKGROUP.WRITE() did not have write
privileges.
Action: Obtain a file handle in read-write mode and retry the write operation.
ORA-15095: reached maximum ASM file size (string GB) for this disk group
Cause: An ASM file creation or file resize operation exceeded the maximum file
size permitted by ASM for this disk group.
Action: Use smaller files. Alternatively, set the disk group attribute
compatible.rdbms >= 11.1 if not set already.
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.
13-152 Oracle Database Error Messages
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 client (process
string)
Cause: A SHUTDOWN command was issued to an ASM instance that had one or
more connected clients.
Action: Stop all clients that are using this ASM instance and retry the
SHUTDOWN command. 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.
One of the active clients has been listed in the error message. Query the V$ASM_
CLIENT fixed view in an ASM instance or use ASMCMD LSOF to list all active
clients.
ORA-15098: file type not recognized by ASM instance
Cause: An attempt was made by DB instance to create a file for a file type that is
not recognized by current version of ASM instance.
Action: Upgrade ASM to higher version that recognizes this file type.
ORA-15099: disk 'string' is larger than maximum size of string MBs
Cause: The specified size of the disk was too big to allow the disk to become part
of the diskgroup.
Action: Specify a smaller disk size than the maximum allowed size.
ORA-15100: invalid or missing diskgroup name
Cause: The command did not specify a valid diskgroup name.

Cause: The command contained an invalid combination of the UNPROTECTED,
MIRROR, or PARITY keywords.
Action: Specify only one keyword.
ORA-15110: no diskgroups mounted
Cause: No diskgroups were specified in the ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter, so
instance startup or the ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT command did not
mount any diskgroups.
Action: Specify valid diskgroups in the ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter or ignore
the error.
ORA-15111: conflicting or duplicate STRIPE options
Cause: The command contained both a FINE and COARSE keyword, or
contained the FINE keyword more than once, or contained the COARSE keyword
more than once.
Action: Specify only one keyword.
ORA-15112: no diskgroups currently mounted
Cause: An ALTER DISKGROUP ALL command did not find any mounted
diskgroups upon which to operate. Either instance shutdown or an ALTER
DISKGROUP ALL DISMOUNT command did not dismount any diskgroups, or
an ALTER DISKGROUP ALL UNDROP DISKS command did not undrop any
disks.
Action: Mount the diskgroups on which you wish to operate or ignore the error.
ORA-15113: alias name 'string' refers to a directory

action.
ORA-15117: command only operates on one diskgroup
Cause: An ALTER DISKGROUP, CREATE DISKGROUP, or DROP DISKGROUP
command specified a list of diskgroups or the keyword ALL in a context where
only a single diskgroup was permitted.
Action: Issue separate ALTER DISKGROUP, CREATE DISKGROUP, or DROP
DISKGROUP commands to accomplish the desired action.
ORA-15118: ASM diskgroup 'string' was forcibly dismounted.
Cause: The diskgroup to which the I/O request was issued was forcibly
dismounted (with the ALTER DISKGROUP DISMOUNT FORCE command) so
that it could not be accessed.
Action: Mount the diskgroup to allow access again.
ORA-15119: too many disk groups (string); maximum allowed string
Cause: An attempt was made to mount more than the maximum allowed number
of disk groups.
Action: Do not attempt to mount more than the maximum allowed number of
disk groups. Check ASM instance parameters.
ORA-15120: ASM file name 'string' does not begin with the ASM prefix character
Cause: A file name was specified to ASM which did not begin with the ASM
prefix character (currently '+'). ASM uses the prefix to determine that a file
specification is in fact an ASM file.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15121: ASM file name 'string' contains an invalid diskgroup name
Cause: A file name was specified that did not contain a valid diskgroup name.

characters.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15124: ASM file name 'string' contains an invalid alias name
Cause: A file name was specified which did not contain a valid ASM alias name.
The ASM alias name, if present, follows immediately after the diskgroup name, in
place of the ASM file number. It must be preceeded by a slash, start with an
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-155
alphabetic character, and consist of up to 48 characters which are alphabetic,
numeric, or the characters '$', '_', '-', or '#". A space can separate two parts of an
alias name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15125: ASM file name 'string' contains an invalid template name
Cause: A file name was specified to ASM which did not contain a valid template
name. The template name, if present, follows immediately after the ASM
incarnation number or the ASM alias name, if such is used in place of the ASM file
number. It must be enclosed in parenthesis, start with an alphabetic character, and
consist of up to 30 characters which are alphabetic, numeric, or the characters '$'
and '_'.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15126: component within ASM file name 'string' exceeds maximum length
Cause: The maximum identifier length of 48 characters was exceeded for the
diskgroup name, template name, or alias name field within the ASM file name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15127: ASM file name 'string' cannot use templates
Cause: A fully qualified ASM file name was specified. Such a specification does
not permit the inclusion of a template name in the ASM file name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15128: ASM file name 'string' exceeds maximum length string
Cause: The maximum ASM file name length of 256 characters was exceeded for
the combination of diskgroup name, file number, template name, alias name plus
punctuation within the ASM file name.
Action: Correct the file name specification.
ORA-15129: entry 'string' does not refer to a valid directory
Cause: The entry indicated did not refer to a directory. Attempt was made to
access the contents of this directory.
Action: Correct the error and try again.
ORA-15130: diskgroup "string" is being dismounted
Cause: The diskgroup is being dismounted by request or because an I/O error
was encountered that could not be handled by taking the disks offline. A disk
cannot be offlined whenever doing so could result in all copies of a redundant
extent being unavailable.
Action: Repair the hardware problem and re-mount the diskgroup. Refer to the
alert log to determine which disks have failed.
ORA-15131: block string of file string in diskgroup string could not be read
Cause: A block could not be read because the disk containing the block is either
offline or an I/O error occured while reading the block. If this is mirrored file, then
all disks that contain a copy of the block are either offline or received errors.
Action: Repair the affected disk and bring it back online. Refer to accompanying
error messages to determine which disk has failed.
ORA-15132: block string of file string in diskgroup string could not be written
Cause: A block could not be written because the disk containing the block is
either offline or an I/O error occured while writing the block. If this is mirrored
13-156 Oracle Database Error Messages
file, then insufficient disks which contain a copy of the block are either offline or
received errors.
Action: Repair the affected disk and bring it back online. Refer to accompanying
error messages to determine which disk has failed.
ORA-15133: instance recovery required for diskgroup string
Cause: An instance in the cluster crashed making instance recovery necessary.

Action: If you were switching a primary database to the standby role, the
conversion was successful, but one or more errors occurred after the conversion
completed. See the alert log for more information. You can proceed with switching
the target standby database to the primary role, but you must address the errors
reported at the old primary database before it can protect the new primary
database. If you encountered this error while switching a physical standby
database to the primary role, the switchover did not succeed because additional
redo must be applied. Verify that redo apply is active and wait until the
SWITCHOVER_STATUS column of the V$DATABASE dynamic performance view
reports TO_PRIMARY or SESSIONS_ACTIVE before retrying the switchover.
ORA-16140: standby online logs have not been recovered

command to ignore the standby redo log files.
ORA-16172: archive logs detected beyond Terminal End-Of-Redo
Cause: An attempt to archive a Terminal End-Of-Redo archive log to a remote
destination failed due the existence, at the remote site, of archive logs containing
REDO in the future of the Terminal EOR.
Action: None
ORA-16173: incompatible archival network connections active
Cause: One of two situations can cause this error: 1) An attempt to start a
Terminal Incomplete Recovery operation failed due to an active Remote File
Server process detected. 2) An attempt to archive a Terminal End-Of-Redo archive
log to a remote destination failed due to an active Remote File Server process at
the remote site. An active Remote File Server (RFS) process implies connectivity
with the primary database which may indicate that a Terminal Incomplete
Recovery operation is not warrented.
Action: Verify the Managed Standby environment and re-evaluate the necessity of
a Terminal Incomplete Recovery operation.
ORA-16174: user requested thread/sequence termination of managed recovery
Cause: The managed standby database recovery operation has been terminated

ORA-16416: No viable stringswitchover targets available
Cause: Switchover failed because no standby databases of the appropriate type
were available.
Action: Check the alert log for errors, correct the problem and retry the
switchover.
ORA-16417: Activation occurred after recovery from standby redo log files; a full
database backup is required
Cause: Activation occurred after recovery from standby redo log files.
Action: Take a full database backup.
ORA-16419: Snapshot standby must be converted to a physical standby database.
Cause: The database was not a physical standby database.
Action: Convert to physical standby database and retry the operation.
ORA-16420: fast-start failover target cannot be converted to snapshot standby
Cause: The database chosen for conversion to a snapshot standby was the
fast-start failover target standby database.
Action: Choose another physical standby database and retry the operation.
ORA-16424: RECOVER FINISH cannot complete due to a redo gap.
Cause: RECOVER FINISH failed because there was a redo gap on the standby
database.
Action: Resolve redo gap or issue ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE STANDBY
DATABASE to perform an immediate failover with some data loss.
ORA-16425: RECOVER FINISH cannot be issued when recovery branch string is
not the target branch string.
Cause: RECOVER FINISH failed because a new branch existed on the physical
standby database.
Action: Issue real-time apply recovery and see if recovery can proceed on the new
branch by checking if logs on the new branch are applied by recovery. If so, issue
another RECOVER FINISH. Otherwise, issue ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE
STANDBY DATABASE.
ORA-16426: Recovery requested an incorrect log from which to apply redo data.
Cause: Media recovery selected an incorrect log.
Action: Verify that the appropriate log has been properly registered and restart
media recovery.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-227
ORA-16427: Redo gap is too large to resolve.
Cause: The redo transport lag at this database was too large for automatic redo
gap detection to take place.
Action: Re-create this standby database from a current backup copy of the
primary database.
ORA-16431: cannot expand control file
Cause: Additional redo log threads were added on the primary database after the
standby control file was created.
Action: Shut down the standby database and replace the control file with a new
standby control file from the primary database or change the COMPATIBLE
parameter to 10.2.0 or above and restart the standby database.
ORA-16432: inconsistent set of logs applied at a standby database
Cause: Redo apply stopped because it detected an inconsistency in the
progression of the SCNs. If this database is a bystander standby database, this is
most likely due to a failover operation in which incompatible logs were applied
from the old and new primary databases.
Action: Determine the STANDBY_BECAME_PRIMARY_SCN by selecting it from
V$DATABASE on the new primary database. Then, flashback the target database
to this SCN and use RMAN to delete all archive logs at or beyond this SCN.
Finally, fetch all terminal end of redo (EOR) logs corresponding to the failover
operation from the new primary and register all these logs at the target database.
Restart redo apply.
ORA-16433: The database or pluggable database must be opened in read/write
mode.
Cause: An attempt was made to open the database or pluggable database in
read-only mode after an operation that requires the database or pluggable
database be opened in read/write mode.
Action: Open the database in read/write mode. The database can then be opened
in read-only mode.
ORA-16434: archive log for branch string thread string sequence string cannot be
queued
Cause: An archive log needed by the standby database to resolve a redo gap was
not found on the source database. This is a fatal situation during a switchover or
far sync instance assisted failover because the source database waits for the target
standby to be clear of all archive log gaps before allowing the operation to
proceed. If a redo gap cannot be resolved during these operations, the operation
cannot succeed so it must be failed.
Action: If the specified log is listed in V$ARCHIVED_LOG for the DEST_ID of the
local destination on the source database but no longer exists at that location on
disk, the archived log can be copied back to that location to allow gap processing
to automatically resolve the gap. If the specified log has been purged from
V$ARCHIVED_LOG, the archived log can be copied to disk on either the source or
destination database and registered using the ALTER DATABASE REGISTER OR
REPLACE LOGFILE command.
ORA-16436: ALTER DATABASE ... RECOVER FINISH could not start
Cause: ALTER DATABASE ... RECOVER FINISH failed to start because the
standby database was missing redo changes below the checkpoint of data files.
13-228 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Issue ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE STANDBY DATABASE command
instead.
ORA-16437: No active coordinator RFS for current operation
Cause: The coordinator Remote File Server (RFS) for this parallel archival either
abnormally terminated or ran down before this subordinate RFS could begin its
leg of the operation.
Action: No explicit user action is required.
ORA-16438: Switchover to primary cannot be executed at this time
Cause: ALTER DATABASE COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY could not
be executed because an incompatible operation such as RMAN restore or
flashback was in progress. See the database alert log for details.
Action: Wait for the incompatible operation to complete. The files that have been
flashed back or restored need recovery before you can reissue ALTER DATABASE
COMMIT TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY statement. Start redo apply and verify
that the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column of the V$DATABASE view reports TO_
PRIMARY or SESSIONS_ACTIVE before retrying ALTER DATABASE COMMIT
TO SWITCHOVER TO PRIMARY.
ORA-16439: Standby not ready to receive redo at this time
Cause: A logical standby or down stream capture database was not in a state
where it could accept a request to receive redo from another database. This was
likely due to the database not being open.
Action: See the database alert log at the receiving side of the transfer for details of
why the database was not ready. If the database was mounted but not open, open
it to clear the problem. The initialization parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_
STATE_n at the sending site may need to be set to ENABLE.
ORA-16440: Control file is corrupt.
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY failed because the control
file was corrupt.
Action: Restore the current control file at the primary database and then reissue
ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY from a mounted primary instance.
ORA-16441: Current log string for thread string sequence string is invalid.
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY failed because the current
redo log file was corrupt.
Action: Restore the current log at the primary database, and then reissue ALTER
SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY from a mounted primary instance.
ORA-16442: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY succeeded, but some
redo has not been applied.
Cause: The target standby database did not apply all received redo.
Action: Allow the target standby database to apply all redo and then reissue the
ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY statement.
ORA-16443: could not switch out of log string thread string
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY could not switch out of the
current log.
Action: This can happen if there are one or more errors during archival of the
current log at the primary database. Reissue ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO
STANDBY after resolving the archiving errors.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-229
ORA-16444: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY failed due to a
corrupted control file or online log file.
Cause: A flush redo operation discovered SCNs greater than a previously failed
flush redo operation.
Action: This can happen if there are one or more errors that have corrupted the
control file or online redo logs. In these cases, flush redo operation is not possible.
ORA-16445: Database has to be mounted and cannot be open
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY required that the database
be mounted, but not opened.
Action: Mount the database and then reissue the operation.
ORA-16446: Target database was not a standby database
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY failed because the target
database is not a standby database.
Action: Reissue the ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY statement and
specify a standby database as the target database.
ORA-16447: Redo apply was not active at the target standby database
Cause: ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY failed because redo apply
is not active at the target database.
Action: Start redo apply at the standby database and reissue the ALTER SYSTEM
FLUSH REDO TO STANDBY statement, or reissue the ALTER SYSTEM FLUSH
REDO TO STANDBY statement with the NO CONFIRM APPLY clause.
ORA-16448: Primary database corruption has been detected by standby database.
Cause: The primary database became corrupted.
Action: Identify the extent of the corruption on both the primary and standby
database and take remedial action.
ORA-16449: incomplete redo thread enable operation
Cause: The switchover operation could not continue because it failed to disable a
thread that was left in an incomplete thread enable state.
Action: Check alert log for more details.
ORA-16451: A remote archival request has timed out.
Cause: When opening or closing a database instance, the database may wait for
up to 1 minute for pending remote archival requests to be performed before
proceeding with the operation. This error was reported because that time limit was
exceeded.
Action: This is an informational message so no action is required.
ORA-16455: switchover to standby failed
Cause: An attempt to switchover to a physical standby database failed.
Action: Check alert log for more details. Issue the SHUTDOWN ABORT
command on the database before issuing another ALTER DATABASE COMMIT
TO SWITCHOVER TO STANDBY command.
ORA-16456: switchover to standby in progress or completed
Cause: The requested operation was not allowed because a switchover to standby
operation was either in progress or had completed.
13-230 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Issue the SHUTDOWN ABORT command on the database after
switchover operation completes.
ORA-16459: recovery already beyond standby failover
Cause: Redo Apply stopped because it detected that it had proceeded beyond a
standby failover operation.
Action: Determine the STANDBY_BECAME_PRIMARY_SCN by selecting it from
V$DATABASE on the new primary database. Then, flashback the target database
to this SCN and use RMAN to delete all archive logs at or beyond this SCN.
Finally, fetch all terminal end-of-redo (EOR) logs corresponding to the failover
operation from the new primary database and register all these logs at the target
database. Restart Redo Apply.
ORA-16461: database not flashed back or recovered to a consistent point
Cause: ALTER DATABASE CONVERT TO STANDBY command failed because
either the database was not properly flashed back to STANDBY_BECAME_
PRIMARY_SCN, or at least one of the online data files was not current.
Action: Flashback database to STANDBY_BECAME_PRIMARY_SCN and retry
the ALTER DATABASE CONVERT TO STANDBY command.
ORA-16463: invalid target database name
Cause: ALTER DATABASE FAILOVER TO <target_db_name> or ALTER
DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name> FORCE command failed
because the target_db_name was invalid. The target_db_name must be the same
as the name of the database on which the SQL command is issued.
Action: Change the target database name and reissue the command.
ORA-16464: operation not allowed
Cause: An attempt was made to issue the ALTER DATABASE FAILOVER TO
<target_db_name> or the ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_
name> FORCE command on a database other than a physical standby database.
Action: Issue the command on a physical standby database.
ORA-16465: operation not allowed
Cause: An attempt was made to issue the ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO
<target_db_name> [VERIFY] command on a database other than an open primary
database.
Action: Issue the command on an open primary database.
ORA-16466: invalid switchover target
Cause: The switchover target was not a valid, enabled, or active standby database.
Action: Fix the problem in the switchover target and reissue the command.
ORA-16467: switchover target is not synchronized
Cause: The switchover target was not synchronized with the primary database.
Action: Wait until the switchover target is synchronized with the primary
database, then reissue the command.
ORA-16468: error connecting to switchover target string
Cause: The primary database could not connect to the switchover target.
Action: Check the alert log for detailed errors.
ORA-16469: switchover target version number is lower than 12
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-231
Cause: The switchover target version number was lower than 12.
Action: Upgrade the switchover target to a higher release.
ORA-16470: Redo Apply is not running on switchover target
Cause: The switchover target was not running Redo Apply.
Action: Start Redo Apply on the switchover target and reissue the command.
ORA-16471: cannot convert switchover target string to a primary database
Cause: Switchover failed because the switchover target could not convert to a
primary database.
Action: Check the database role of the switchover target. If the switchover target
database role is standby, do one of the following:
- Fix the problem shown in the alert log.
- Issue the remedial ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name>
FORCE command to convert the switchover target to a primary database.
- If the problem in the switchover target cannot be fixed, issue the remedial ALTER
DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name> FORCE command on the old
primary database to convert the old primary database back to a primary database.
If the switchover target database role is primary, the switchover has completed.
Open the switchover target and startup the old primary database to finish the
switchover process.
ORA-16472: failover failed due to data loss
Cause: The database was in MaxAvailability or MaxProtection mode but terminal
recovery finished with data loss.
Action: For a data loss failover, issue ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE STANDBY
DATABASE command.
ORA-16473: database is not in limbo
Cause: The ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name> FORCE
command could not proceed because the database was not in limbo state.
Action: Make sure the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column in V$DATABASE has the
value TO PRIMARY or SESSIONS ACTIVE. If needed, start managed standby
recovery and reissue the command after the SWITCHOVER_STATUS column
value changes to one of the above values.
ORA-16474: target_db_name not found in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter
Cause: ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name> or ALTER
SYSTEM FLUSH REDO TO <target_db_name> command failed because the
target_db_name was not defined in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter.
Action: Make sure the target_db_name is defined in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
parameter.
ORA-16475: succeeded with warnings, check alert log for more details
Cause: The ALTER DATABASE SWITCHOVER TO <target_db_name> VERIFY
command succeeded but with warnings.
Action: Check alert log for more details.
ORA-16476: far sync instance does not allow string operation
Cause: The specified operation was invalid on a far sync instance.
Action: Do not attempt the specified operation on a far sync instance.
13-232 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16477: destination is being serviced by another viable source
Cause: An attempt was made by a far sync instance to perform gap analysis with
a remote destination that already had connectivity with a different viable source of
live redo.
Action: No action is required. This exception code is informational and is used by
the far sync instance to remain idle with respect to this destination until it
establishes connectivity with the primary database.
ORA-16478: cannot locate far sync instance connect string
Cause: The connect string for the far sync instance that is flagged as the source of
live redo for this database could not be located.
Action: Define a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter for the far sync instance
using the SERVICE attribute to define the connect string for the far sync instance
destination. This destination should be set to DEFER using the corresponding
LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter. Once the connect string is defined,
retry the failover operation. Using the FORCE option on the failover command
allows the operation to proceed and bypass the far sync instance but bypassing the
far sync instance increases the potential for data loss.
ORA-16479: cannot connect to the far sync instance
Cause: An attempt was made to connect to the far sync instance to help facilitate
the failover operation but the connection attempt failed.
Action: Make sure the far sync instance is mounted. Check the alert log and trace
files on both the current database and the far sync instance for further details.
Retry the operation if a problem is identified and corrected. Using the FORCE
option on the failover command allows the operation to proceed and bypass the
far sync instance but bypassing the far sync instance increases the potential for
data loss.
ORA-16480: operational error during far sync instance assisted failover
Cause: After successfully connecting to the far sync instance, an error was
encountered when polling the far sync instance for progress.
Action: Check the alert log and traces of both the current database and the far
sync instance for further details. Retry the operation if a problem is identified and
corrected. Using the FORCE option on the failover command allows the operation
to proceed and bypass the far sync instance but bypassing the far sync instance
increases the potential for data loss.
ORA-16481: destination error during far sync instance assisted failover
Cause: After successfully connecting to the far sync instance, an error was
encountered when managing the failover target destination on the far sync
instance.
Action: Check the alert log and traces of both the current database and the far
sync instance for further details. Retry the operation if a problem is identified and
corrected. Using the FORCE option on the failover command allows the operation
to proceed and bypass the far sync instance but bypassing the far sync instance
increases the potential for data loss.
ORA-16482: a role transition is in progress
Cause: The operation failed because a role transition was in progress.
Action: None
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-233
ORA-16483: unable to set a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter to the switchover
target
Cause: An attempt was made to set a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter to the
switchover target failed.
Action: Manually set a LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter to the switchover
target.
ORA-16484: compatibility setting is too low
Cause: The compatibility setting in the redo log transported to this standby
database exceeded the current compatibility setting.
Action: Check the compatibility setting on the primary and standby database, and
increase the compatibility setting in the initialization parameter file on the standby
database accordingly.
ORA-16485: redo log is already received at destination
Cause: A copy of this redo log was already received at the destination.
Action: None
ORA-16486: redo log is rejected by the destination
Cause: The destination was not allowed to receive this redo log.
Action: Ensure the source database is registered at the destination, the destination
is up and running, and storage is available.
ORA-16487: the destination database is not writable
Cause: The destination database was in read-only mode.
Action: Ensure the destination database is open for write.
ORA-16488: cannot create a bookkeeping entry in database
Cause: The destination database failed to create an entry in the table used to track
the redo log.
Action: Examine the trace file of the Remote File Server (RFS) process. Check and
make sure space is available in your database.
ORA-16489: cannot register the redo log at the destination database
Cause: Registering the redo log to the destination database failed.
Action: Examine the trace file of the Remote File Server (RFS) process. Check and
make sure space is available in your database.
ORA-16491: operation not allowed due to insufficient online redo log files string
Cause: A minimum of two online redo log files per active thread were not
supplied.
Action: Add the required redo log files and reissue the command.
ORA-16492: switchover target local destination has error
Cause: The switchover target local destination either exceeded quota size or had
an error.

ORA-16501: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation failed.
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation failed.
Action: See accompanying messages for details.
ORA-16502: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation succeeded with warnings.
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation succeeded with warnings.
Action: See accompanying messages for details.
ORA-16503: cannot exceed the maximum number of databases in this configuration
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker configuration already contained the
maximum number of databases that could be configured and managed by the
broker.
Action: Select and remove an existing database from the broker configuration,
then reissue the command to add another database to the configuration. Note that
when COMPATIBLE is set lower than 11.2.0.0.0, the broker can configure and
manage up to 10 databases. When COMPATIBLE is set to 11.2.0.0.0 or higher, this
limit is increased to 31.
ORA-16504: The Oracle Data Guard configuration already exists.
Cause: A request to create an Oracle Data Guard configuration was made while
connected to a database that is part of an existing configuration.
Action: To create a new configuration, the existing configuration must be deleted.
ORA-16506: out of memory
Cause: Process exceeded private or shared memory limits.
Action: Check for memory leaks, increase system parameters and restart.
ORA-16509: request timed out
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker timed out the request.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for more information. Ensure
that the network connections between the databases are functioning properly and
retry the request.
ORA-16513: maximum requests exceeded
Cause: The maximum number of requests that the broker can service on the
database instance was exceeded.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-235
Action: Wait for the broker to complete processing the requests before issuing
more requests.
ORA-16516: current state is invalid for the attempted operation
Cause: The broker may have returned this error for either switchover operations
or for database state change operations. If this error was returned for a switchover
operation, the broker determined that either:
- The databases changing roles are shut down.
- The primary database is not shipping redo data.
- The standby database that will become the primary database is not applying redo
data. If this error was returned for database state change operations, the database
state specified was invalid.
Action: If this error is returned when attempting a switchover operation, make
sure that:
- The databases changing roles are started.
- The primary database is shipping redo data.
- The standby database is applying redo data. If this error is returned when
attempting a database state change operation, make sure a valid database state is
specified.
ORA-16521: operation requires connection to the multitenant container database
Cause: The command required the client to connect to the multitenant container
database.
Action: Connect to the multitenant container database and reissue the command.
ORA-16522: configuration is part of Global Data Services pool
Cause: The attempted command was not allowed because the configuration was
part of a Global Data Services pool.
Action: Remove the configuration from the Global Data Services pool using
GDSCTL. Then, retry the broker command. If the command was attempting to
repair a database, disable or remove the individual database from the
configuration and fix the issue. After the issue is resolved, reenable the database,
or add the database back to the configuration if it had been removed.
ORA-16523: operation requires the client to connect to instance "string"
Cause: The switchover or failover operation required the client to connect to the
apply instance of the target database.
Action: Connect to the indicated instance and reissue the SWITCHOVER or
FAILOVER command.
ORA-16524: unsupported command, option, or argument
Cause: A command, option, or fast-start failover condition argument was
specified that is not supported in this release.

Cause: A NULL buffer or a length of zero was specified.
Action: Correct the command parameters and retry the command.
ORA-16532: Oracle Data Guard broker configuration does not exist
Cause: A broker operation was requested that required a broker configuration to
already be created.
Action: Create a Data Guard broker configuration prior to performing other
broker operations. If only one instance of a RAC database is reporting this error,
ensure that the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters are set
to file locations that are shared by all instances of the RAC database.
ORA-16534: switchover, failover or convert operation in progress
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker returned this status because a switchover,
failover or convert operation was in progress. The broker could not accept new
commands until the operation finished.
Action: Wait until the operation is complete and reissue the command.
ORA-16535: Oracle Restart or Oracle Clusterware prevented completion of broker
operation
Cause: The broker could not complete the operation because Oracle Restart (for
single instance databases) or Oracle Clusterware (for RAC databases) could not
stop services or instances on this database.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for more information and
stop the appropriate services or instances using SRVCTL. Then retry the broker

same on all RAC database instances. The SID='*' qualifier was required in the
command.
Action: Reenter the command using the SID='*' qualifier.
ORA-16547: cannot disable or remove the primary database
Cause: An attempt was made to disable broker management of the primary
database or remove the primary database from the broker configuration while the
configuration was enabled.
Action: If you wish to disable broker management of the primary database when
the configuration is enabled, you must instead disable broker management of the
entire broker configuration. If you wish to remove the primary database from the
broker configuration while the configuration is enabled, you must instead remove
the entire broker configuration.
ORA-16548: database not enabled
Cause: An attempt was made to modify or query a disabled database. This error
is also returned on an attempt to enable, modify, or query a database that the
broker has disabled because of a switchover or failover operation. The broker
disables its management of a database when it detects that the database needs to
be re-created because of a failover or switchover operation.
Action: If broker management of the database is disabled, enable it and reissue
the command.
ORA-16549: invalid string
Cause: An invalid or NULL string value was specified.
Action: Correct command parameters and retry.
ORA-16550: truncated result
Cause: A string property value was truncated due to insufficient buffer size.
Action: Specify a larger receive buffer.

Cause: This version of the observer was incompatible with the version of the
specified Oracle database server to which the observer had been connected. This
observer client cannot be used to observe the specified Oracle server.
Action: Use a version of the observer that is compatible with the Oracle database
server to be observed.
ORA-16557: database is already in use
Cause: An attempt was made to create a duplicate database in the broker
configuration, or to add a duplicate instance (sid) for an existing database in the
broker configuration.
Action: Check the database to be added to ensure there are no duplicates.
ORA-16558: database specified for switchover is not a standby database
Cause: An attempt was made to switchover to a database that was not a standby
database.
Action: Locate an enabled standby database and select that database as the target
of the switchover.
ORA-16561: cannot remove an active instance
Cause: The instance to be removed was running.
Action: Shut down the instance and reissue the REMOVE command.
ORA-16568: cannot set property string
Cause: The specified property could not be modified because it was either a
monitorable property or a property that did not exist.
Action: Retry the command with a valid configurable property.
ORA-16569: Oracle Data Guard configuration is not enabled
Cause: The requested operation required that broker management of the Data
Guard configuration must be enabled.
Action: Enable the Oracle Data Guard configuration and reissue the command.
ORA-16570: database needs restart
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation required this database instance to
be shut down and restarted.
Action: If DGMGRL or Enterprise Manager has not already done so, shut down
the Oracle instance and then restart it.
ORA-16571: Oracle Data Guard configuration file creation failure
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker was unable to create the configuration file
on permanent storage.
Action: Verify space, permissions and file name as indicated by the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters and retry the operation.
ORA-16572: Oracle Data Guard configuration file not found
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker configuration file was either unavailable or
did not exist.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-239
Action: Verify that the configuration file was successfully created. If the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters were changed, ensure the
file name on disk and the parameter value match, there is space on the device, and
the proper permissions are granted. For a RAC database, ensure that these
initialization parameters are set to file locations that are shared by all instances of
the RAC database.
ORA-16573: attempt to change or access configuration file for an enabled broker
configuration
Cause: The operation was rejected because the Oracle Data Guard broker
configuration file was in use. The attempted operation was unsafe while broker
management of the configuration was enabled. For example:
- An attempt was made to alter the DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2]
initialization parameters while the broker was running.
- Non-broker access (such as DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER) to the configuration files
was attempted. See the alert log for additional information.
Action: Disable the broker configuration and shut down the Oracle Data Guard
broker, then retry the operation. If the operation includes altering the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters, be sure that the new
parameter values correctly specify the files at their expected location before
reenabling broker management of the configuration.
ORA-16574: switchover disallowed when required databases are shut down
Cause: Switchover failed because either the primary database or the designated
standby database were shut down.
Action: Ensure that the primary and standby databases are running and that
primary database is shipping redo data to the designated standby database. Also
ensure that that the designated standby database is applying the redo data
received from the primary database.
ORA-16575: request terminated because failover is in progress
Cause: This error was returned when the broker terminated a request because it
was processing a failover command.
Action: Wait for failover to complete and then retry the request.
ORA-16576: failed to update Data Guard configuration file
Cause: A failure was encountered while the broker was updating the Oracle Data
Guard broker configuration file on permanent storage.
Action: Verify space, permissions and file name as indicated by the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters.
ORA-16577: corruption detected in Data Guard configuration file
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected errors while loading the
configuration file.
Action: Verify space, permissions and file name as indicated by the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters. Contact Oracle Support
Services.
ORA-16578: failed to read Data Guard configuration file
Cause: A failure was encountered while the broker was reading the configuration
file on permanent storage.
13-240 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Verify space, permissions and file name as indicated by the DG_
BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameters.

Cause: An attempt was made to change an instance-specific property for a
database that had more than one instance.
Action: Retry the command and identify a specific instance whose property value
is to be changed.
ORA-16584: operation cannot be performed on a standby database
Cause: The database specified for the operation was a standby database, or the
operation was attempted on a standby database.
Action: Check the database type and retry the operation. If the command must be
executed on a primary database, connect to the primary database and retry the
operation.
ORA-16585: operation cannot be performed on a primary database
Cause: The database specified for the operation was a primary database, or the
operation was attempted on a primary database.
Action: Check the database type and retry the operation. If the command must be
executed on a standby database, connect to a standby database and retry the
operation.
ORA-16586: cannot change database property with EDIT INSTANCE command
Cause: An attempt was made to change a database property using an EDIT
INSTANCE command instead of an EDIT DATABASE command.
Action: Use the EDIT DATABASE command to change database properties.
ORA-16587: ambiguous object specified to Data Guard broker
Cause: An object was specified that the broker could not uniquely distinguish
from other objects in the configuration.
Action: Try to further distinguish the object specified for the operation and reissue
the command.
ORA-16589: Oracle Data Guard broker detected network transfer error
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected an error while transferring data
from one database to another. This may happen when:
- The broker detects an inconsistency in the block count of configuration file when
the file is transmitted between databases.
- The broker encountered an error when writing the configuration file.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16594: DMON background process is not running
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker background process, DMON, was not
running.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and DMON process trace file
to determine why the DMON process is not running.
ORA-16595: process string failed to terminate
Cause: The specified process did not terminate at the request of the Data Guard
broker.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-241
ORA-16596: database not part of the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration
Cause: The specified database was not in the Oracle Data Guard broker
configuration.
Action: Retry the command with a database that is in the broker configuration.
ORA-16597: Oracle Data Guard broker detects two or more primary databases
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected two or more primary databases in
the broker configuration and could not continue.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16598: Oracle Data Guard broker detected a mismatch in configuration
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected a significant mismatch while
performing configuration membership validation between two or more databases
in the broker configuration. This can occur when the primary database has stale
broker configuration files.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16599: Oracle Data Guard broker detected a stale configuration
Cause: The Oracle 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: not connected to target standby database for failover
Cause: The failover command failed because the client was not connected to the
target standby database.
Action: Explicitly connect to the standby database to be failed over to and retry
the failover command.
ORA-16602: database must be disabled to perform this operation
Cause: An attempt was made to edit a database property while the database was
enabled.
Action: Disable the database and retry the command.
ORA-16603: database is part of another Data Guard broker configuration
Cause: The database was part of another Data Guard broker configuration. This
could occur if the original configuration was re-created while this database was
disconnected from the network or the same database was added to two different
Data Guard broker configurations.
Action: Make sure the database belongs to only one broker configuration. Shut
down the broker by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter to
false. Then, remove the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration files. Finally,
restart the broker by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter to
true.
ORA-16604: operation not allowed on a database that ships redo data
Cause: An attempt was made to delete, disable, or convert a database that ships
redo data to another database.
Action: Ensure that the name of the database to be deleted, disabled, or converted
is not specified in another database's RedoSource property.
ORA-16606: unable to find property "string"
13-242 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The specified property did not exist.
Action: Specify a valid property name and reissue the command.
ORA-16607: one or more databases have failed
Cause: A failure was detected for one or more databases in the Data Guard broker
configuration.
Action: Locate the database(s) with a failure status and correct it.
ORA-16608: one or more databases have warnings
Cause: A warning was detected for one or more databases in the Data Guard
broker configuration.
Action: Locate the database(s) with a warning status and correct it.
ORA-16609: database is being disabled
Cause: A command was attempted on a database that was being disabled. For
example, attempting to reinstate the old primary database, the database that was
the primary database prior to the most recent failover, before it was ready to be
reinstated.
Action: Wait for the Oracle Data Guard broker to disable the database and then
retry the command.
ORA-16610: command "string" in progress
Cause: The specified broker command was already running and the command
issued could not be completed.
Action: Wait for the specified command to finish and then retry the command.
ORA-16611: command aborted at user request
Cause: The command was aborted 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 was too long.
Action: Specify a shorter string value.
ORA-16613: initialization in progress for database
Cause: A request was made that required access to the Oracle Data Guard broker
configuration before the Oracle Data Guard broker had completed initialization.
Action: Wait until the Oracle Data Guard broker has completed initialization, then
reissue the command.
ORA-16614: Oracle Data Guard broker configuration is disabled
Cause: An attempt to enable a database failed because the Oracle Data Guard
broker configuration was disabled.
Action: Enable the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration and issue the
DGMGRL CLI SHOW CONFIGURATION command to see if there are any
databases that are still disabled. If the database you tried to enable is still disabled,
issue the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE command to check the status of the
database. If the database status indicates that the database needs to be reinstated,
then issue the DGMGRL CLI REINSTATE DATABASE command to reinstate and
enable the database. If the database does not require reinstatement, then issue the
DGMGRL CLI ENABLE DATABASE command to enable the database.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-243
ORA-16617: unknown object identifier specified in request
Cause: Object identifier specified in the request was invalid or unknown.
Action: Verify that a valid object identifier is specified and reissue the command.
ORA-16619: condition for fast-start failover is already enabled
Cause: The condition specified for fast-start failover was already enabled.
Action: No action is required. Use the DGMGRL CLI SHOW FAST_START
FAILOVER command to see the conditions that are enabled.
ORA-16620: one or more databases could not be reached for a delete operation
Cause: One or more standby databases could not be reached for either a
DGMGRL CLI REMOVE DATABASE or a REMOVE CONFIGURATION
command.
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 Data Guard broker log file to determine which standby
databases could not be reached. 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 DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1|2] initialization parameter
values and delete them. Then restart the broker by setting DG_BROKER_START to
true.
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 included a database with the specified name. The database names must be
unique.
Action: Verify that a unique name is specified for the new database to be added.
Also, the database name must match the DB_UNIQUE_NAME initialization
parameter of the database.
ORA-16622: two or more broker database objects resolve to the same database
Cause: Multiple database objects referred to the same database.
Action: Examine the details of all databases in the broker configuration and verify
that there are not two or more databases referring to the same database. If two or
more database profiles in the broker configuration have the same value for the
DGConnectIdentifier database property, either:
- Remove and re-add the erroneously defined database(s) to resolve the ambiguity.
- Ensure that the DGConnectIdentifier database property for each database allows
the broker to properly connect to that database.
ORA-16623: database detected role change
Cause: A successful switchover or failover operation had been completed and
was detected during database startup or broker health check. If this database was
unavailable during a switchover or failover operation, it may not be a viable
standby database for the new primary database and was disabled by the Oracle
Data Guard broker.
Action: Connect to the new primary database and examine the broker
configuration for databases that were disabled and that may require reinstatement
or re-creation.
13-244 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16624: broker protocol version mismatch detected
Cause: A network protocol version number mismatch was detected. This could
happen if the databases in the broker configuration were not running the same
version of Oracle. The broker would disable standby databases that were not
running the same version of Oracle as the primary database if this situation was
detected.
Action: Examine the version of Oracle installed on all databases in the broker
configuration to ensure they are identical. Once all of the databases in the broker
configuration are running the same version of Oracle, reenable the standby
databases that were disabled.
ORA-16625: cannot reach database "string"
Cause: The command could not be executed because the database noted in the
error text was not reachable from the database where the command was issued.
Action: See accompanying messages for more information. Check the network
connections to the specified database. Alternatively, connect to a different database
in the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration and retry the command.
ORA-16626: failed to enable specified database
Cause: This status was returned when attempting to enable a standby database
that:
- Could not locate itself in the broker configuration file.
- Failed to distinguish itself from two or more databases in the configuration file.
- Determined it missed a role change within the configuration.
Action: To correct the problem, try one of these actions:
- Confirm that the host and SID names for the database exactly match the values in
the HOST_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME columns of V$INSTANCE.
- Confirm that there are not two or more databases with the same connect
identifier. That is, multiple databases in the broker configuration should not reach
the same database.
- If a failover had been performed and the old primary database has been
re-created (or a standby database has been re-created), make sure the Oracle 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 was returned because of one of the following:
- The broker rejected an attempt to change the overall configuration protection
mode since it could not find any enabled standby databases that supported the
proposed protection mode.
- The broker rejected an attempt to enable the configuration if it determined that
there were no enabled standby databases that supported the overall protection
mode.
- The broker rejected an attempt to disable or remove a database that, if disabled or
deleted, would result in no remaining standby databases that could support the
overall configuration protection mode.
- The broker rejected an attempt to switchover if doing so would violate the
overall configuration protection mode.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-245
- Performing automatic health check if the broker determined that no standby
datbases supported the overall protection mode.
Action: - If changing the overall protection mode, confirm that at least one
standby database satisfies the new protection mode.
- For enable failures, confirm that at least one standby database has a LogXptMode
configurable property setting that supports the current overall protection mode.
- For delete and disable failures, confirm that at least one other standby database
has a LogXptMode configurable property setting that supports the overall
protection mode.
- For switchover failures that occur when the configuration is operating in
maximum protection or maximum availability mode, confirm that at least one
other standby database has its LogXptMode configurable property set to the value
"SYNC". If the configuration contains a primary database and a single standby
database and is operating in either maximum protection or maximum availability
mode, ensure that the LogXptMode configurable property of the primary database
is set to the value "SYNC". Since the old primary database will become the standby
database after switchover completes, its LogXptMode configurable property
setting must support the configuration protection mode.
- For health check error, confirm that at least one standby database has a
LogXptMode configurable property setting that supports the current overall
protection mode.
ORA-16628: broker protection mode inconsistent with the database setting
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker protection mode saved in the broker
configuration file was inconsistent with the actual database setting.
Action: Reset the protection mode through the Oracle Data Guard broker.
ORA-16629: database reports a different protection level from the protection mode
Cause: The current database protection level was different from the configured
protection mode. This typically was caused by redo transport problems, or the
primary database was not open.
Action: Check the database alert log files and Data Guard broker log files for
more details. Also, check the redo transport status. Ensure that one standby
database supports the configured protection mode and that the network to that
standby database is working properly. Ensure the primary database is open.
ORA-16630: database property has been deprecated
Cause: The property that was specified in the command was deprecated.
Action: Check the broker documentation to identify a replacement property or
SQL command for the deprecated property.
ORA-16631: operation requires shutdown of database or instance "string"
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation required a shutdown of the
database or instance.
Action: If database or instance has not been shutdown by the DGMGRL CLI or
Enterprise Manager, shutdown the database or instance manually.
ORA-16632: instance being added to database profile
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker determined that an instance successfully
found its database profile within the broker configuration file, but lacked an
13-246 Oracle Database Error Messages
instance-specific profile. The broker automatically created an instance-specific
profile and associated the instance with its database profile.
Action: No user action is required. The broker will automatically associate the
instance with its database profile and incorporate the instance into broker activity.
ORA-16633: the only instance of a member cannot be removed
Cause: The instance to be removed was the only instance of the corresponding
member that was known to the broker.
Action: Remove the corresponding member from the broker configuration instead
of the individual instance of the member.
ORA-16635: network connection failed during transmission
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected a connection failure to a remote
database in the broker configuration. This failure happened in the middle of a
transmission session. A transmission session usually requires more than one send
operation for sending a large amount of data (for example, the broker
configuration file) to the remote database.
Action: In most cases, no user action is required. The Oracle Data Guard broker
always tries to resend the data. This error will be reported if the problem persists.
This error indicates there are some problems with the network connection between
broker managed databases. Further network troubleshooting should be done to
identify and correct the actual problem.
ORA-16636: fast-start failover target standby in error state, cannot stop observer
Cause: A STOP OBSERVER operation could not be completed when fast-start
failover was enabled because the target standby database could not participate in
the STOP OBSERVER operation.
Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the Data Guard
broker log file for the primary database. This information helps to identify the
reason why the target standby database was unable to participate in the STOP
OBSERVER operation. If the problem can be corrected by the information in the
broker log file, retry the operation. Alternatively, fast-start failover may be forcibly
disabled by connecting to the primary database and issuing the DISABLE FAST_
START FAILOVER FORCE command from the DGMGRL CLI. Once fast-start
failover has been forcibly disabled, the observer can be stopped regardless of the
current state of the target standby database.
ORA-16637: maximum number of Oracle error numbers for fast-start failover
already reached
Cause: The broker could not enable any more Oracle error numbers for initiating
a fast-start failover.
Action: Use the DGMGRL CLI SHOW FAST_START FAILOVER command to
help identify an Oracle error number that can be disabled before attempting to
enable an additional error number for initiating a fast-start failover.
ORA-16638: could not obtain instance status
Cause: The broker could not determine whether the specified instance was
running.
Action: See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed
information. If the situation described in the next error in the stack can be
corrected, do so; otherwise, contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-16639: specified instance inactive or currently unavailable
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-247
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-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 the broker expects to find by that
connect identifier matches the actual DB_UNIQUE_NAME for that database.
ORA-16643: unable to determine location of broker configuration files
Cause: The Oracle 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: startup of an instance interrupted current operation
Cause: The startup of an instance that is not part of the broker configuration
prevented the operation from completing.
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 was 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 Oracle 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 was registered with the Oracle Data Guard broker and will
begin observing the Oracle Data Guard configuration for conditions that warrant
doing a fast-start failover.
Action: None
ORA-16649: possible failover to another database prevents this database from
being opened
13-248 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: An attempt to open the primary database was made either after a failover
occurred, or when it was likely to have occurred as the result of the primary being
isolated from the fast-start failover target standby database and from the fast-start
failover observer.
Action: Check if a failover did occur. If fast-start failover is enabled, and a failover
did not occur, ensure that connectivity exists between the primary database and
either the observer or the target standby database. Then, try opening the database
again.
ORA-16650: unrecognized object specified
Cause: An unrecognized database or far sync instance was specified in the
command.
Action: Try the command again using a valid object name. Use the SHOW
CONFIGURATION command to identify the members in the configuration.
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 were not met:
- The Oracle Data Guard configuration must be in either MaxAvailability or
MaxPerformance protection mode.
- The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the fast-start
failover target standby database must be set to either SYNC or FASTSYNC if the
configuration protection mode is set to MaxAvailability mode.
- The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the fast-start
failover target standby database must be set to ASYNC if the configuration
protection mode is set to MaxPerformance mode.
- The primary database and the fast-start failover target standby database must
both have flashback enabled.
- No valid target standby database was specified in the primary database
FastStartFailoverTarget property prior to the attempt to enable fast-start failover,
and more than one standby database exists in the Oracle Data Guard
configuration.
- fast-start failover target standby database did not receive redo data directly from
the primary database or from a far sync instance.
Action: Retry the command after correcting the issue:
- Set the Oracle Data Guard configuration to either MaxAvailability or
MaxPerformance protection mode.
- Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the
fast-start failover target standby database are set to either SYNC or FASTSYNC if
the configuration protection mode is set to MaxAvailability.
- Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the
fast-start failover target standby database are set to ASYNC if the configuration
protection mode is set to MaxPerformance.
- Ensure that both the primary database and the fast-start failover target standby
database have flashback enabled.
- Set the primary database FastStartFailoverTarget property to the DB_UNIQUE_
NAME value of the desired target standby database and set the desired target
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-249
standby database FastStartFailoverTarget property to the DB_UNIQUE_NAME
value of the primary database.
- Ensure the RedoSource properties of both the primary and the target standby
database are set to either the empty value or the name of a far sync instance.
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 an attempt was made to disable fast-start failover when this error
was reported, disable fast-start failover forcibly using the DGMGRL DISABLE
FAST_START FAILOVER FORCE command. Consult the documentation for more
information.
ORA-16653: failed to reinstate database
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker failed to reinstate the specified database
because the reinstatement could not be completed or the database was already
enabled.
Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the primary
database or the specified database Data Guard broker log files. This information is
helpful in determining how to proceed.
ORA-16654: fast-start failover is enabled
Cause: The attempted command was not allowed while fast-start failover was
enabled:
- The FastStartFailoverTarget property may not be modified.
- The LogXptMode property for either the primary database or the fast-start
failover target standby database may not be modified.
- The configuration's protection mode may not be modified.
- Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover target standby
database may be disabled using the DGMGRL CLI DISABLE command.
- Neither the broker configuration nor the fast-start failover target standby
database may be removed using the DGMGRL CLI REMOVE command.
- The FAILOVER IMMEDIATE command is not allowed.
- The DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter may not be set to FALSE.
Action: Disable fast-start failover, using the FORCE option if required. Then retry
the attempted command.
ORA-16655: specified target standby database invalid
Cause: The attempted command was not allowed because fast-start failover was
enabled for this Data Guard configuration and the target standby database
specified in the command differs from the standby database that was indicated by
the FastStartFailoverTarget property associated with the current primary database.
Action: Retry the attempted command by specifying the standby database that is
indicated by the FastStartFailoverTarget property that is associated with the
current primary database. Alternatively, fast-start failover may be disabled. Then
retry the command using the originally specified target standby database.
ORA-16656: Oracle Data Guard broker detected role change
13-250 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected a role change during database
startup or health check.
Action: Additional information about this failure is recorded in the Oracle Data
Guard broker log files, one for the primary database and one for each standby
database in the Oracle Data Guard configuration. This information is 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: None
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
perform 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: Shut down the primary database and wait for failover to complete on the
standby database. Once failover is complete, restart the old primary database. If
the failover occurred due to fast-start failover, restarting the primary database
after failover is complete allows it to be automatically reinstated as a standby
database to the new primary database.
ORA-16660: fast-start failover operation attempted in absence of a broker
configuration
Cause: An attempt was made to enable or disable fast-start failover when
connected to a standby database for which broker configuration details are
currently unavailable. For instance, the standby database may currently require
re-creation (or flashback reinstantiation) before it may respond to broker client
commands.
Action: 1) An attempt to enable or disable (non-FORCE) fast-start failover at this
standby database will be rejected until such time that the broker configuration
details have been made available to that standby database from the primary
database. This normally occurs when the standby database is successfully
re-created or flashed back, and then reenabled at the primary database. 2) Use the
FORCE option to override fast-start failover that has been enabled at the standby
database even when the broker configuration details are currently unavailable to
the standby database. In this case, this status message is only a warning. Note that
fast-start failover is not formally disabled in the broker configuration. The effect of
this command issued under these circumstances may or may not be permanent,
depending upon when the primary and standby databases regain full
communication between each other and if the state of fast-start failover has been
altered at the primary database in the meantime.
ORA-16661: the standby database needs to be reinstated
Cause: A role change has caused this database to require reinstatement.
Action: Use the DGMGRL REINSTATE DATABASE command or Enterprise
Manager to reinstate the database. Reinstate the database as soon as possible,
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-251
because the database will have to be re-created if another role change occurs while
it is in this state.
ORA-16662: network timeout when contacting a database
Cause: In response to the issued command, the Oracle Data Guard broker
attempted to contact a database in the Oracle Data Guard configuration. That
attempt failed because there was no response from that database after the period
of time specified by the CommunicationTimeout configuration property.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for the details of the failure.
Fix the problem and try the command again.
ORA-16664: unable to receive the result from a database
Cause: During execution of a command, a database in the Oracle Data Guard
broker configuration failed to return a result.
Action: Check Oracle Data Guard broker log files for the details of the failure.
Ensure network communication is working properly amongst the members of the
configuration. Fix any possible network problems and reissue the command.
ORA-16665: timeout waiting for the result from a database
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker was forced to time out a network
connection to a remote database because:
- The network call to the remote database did not complete in a timely manner.
- The remote database was unable to execute the command due to an instance
failure.
Action: Check Data Guard broker log files for the details of the failure. If the
network call did not complete in a timely manner, increase the
CommunicationTimeout configuration property value and reissue the command.
ORA-16666: unable to initiate fast-start failover on a bystander standby database
Cause: The request to initiate a fast-start failover using DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_
FAILOVER was made on a bystander standby database. DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_
FAILOVER can only be called on either the primary or fast-start failover target
standby database.
Action: Call DBMS_DG.INITIATE_FS_FAILOVER on either the primary or
fast-start failover target standby database.
ORA-16667: request Oracle Data Guard broker client to reissue command
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation required the same command be
issued again from the client.
Action: If DGMGRL or Enterprise Manager has not already done so, reissue the
same command to the Oracle Data Guard broker manually.
ORA-16668: operation cannot be performed on the fast-start failover target standby
database
Cause: The database specified for the operation was the fast-start failover target
standby database.
Action: Retry the operation on a different database. Alternatively, disable
fast-start failover and retry the operation.
ORA-16669: instance cannot be opened because the Oracle Active Data Guard
option is disabled
13-252 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The attempt to open the instance failed because the Oracle Active Data
Guard option was not enabled and Redo Apply was either running or was about
to be started by the Oracle Data Guard broker.
Action: Stop Redo Apply or set the database state to APPLY-OFF and then open
the database.
ORA-16671: instance-specific property must be set uniquely for instances of an
Oracle RAC database
Cause: An attempt was made to set an instance-specific property to the same
value for all instances of an Oracle RAC database for a property whose value must
be unique for each instance.
Action: Use the EDIT INSTANCE command and specify the SID of each instance
whose instance-specific property value is to be changed.
ORA-16672: some switchover databases need to be restarted manually
Cause: An error occurred during the restart of either the old and the new primary
databases or both in a switchover operation.
Action: Manually restart both the old and new primary databases, including all
their Oracle RAC instances if it is an Oracle RAC database.
ORA-16673: standby database running different Oracle version
Cause: The standby database was running a different version of Oracle than the
primary database.
Action: Ensure the primary and standby databases are running the same versions
of Oracle.
ORA-16674: standby database type has changed
Cause: An attempt to enable a database whose standby type changed from
physical or snapshot to logical (or vice versa) was disallowed.
Action: If the intention is to retain the database conversion to the new type, the
database must be removed and re-added to the configuration in order to obtain
correct values for database properties specific to the new standby type.
ORA-16675: database instance restart required for property value modification to
take effect
Cause: One or more properties that correspond to static initialization parameters
were modified, but the database instances were not restarted. Or, a static
initialization parameter that corresponds to a broker property was modified using
an ALTER SYSTEM SQL*Plus statement.
Action: Restart the database instances for the modified property values to take
effect. If the error persists after having restarted the instance, use the DGMGRL
CLI or Enterprise Manager to modify the property the static initialization
parameter corresponds to.
ORA-16676: RedoRoutes property for two or more databases contains a circular
route
Cause: The value of a RedoRoutes property for two or more databases was set
such that a database that sends redo also receives redo data data in the same route.
For example, A sends to B, B sends to C, and C sends to A.
Action: Correct the setting of the RedoRoutes propety on one or more databases
to eliminate the circular route.
ORA-16677: physical standby database cannot be an alternate destination
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-253
Cause: A physical standby database was set as an alternate destination for
another physical standby, or for a far sync instance and the FALLBACK keyword
was not specified.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for the reason for the failure
and reissue the command. Ensure that a physical standby database is not set to be
an alternate destination for another physical standby. If the physical standby is to
be an alternate destination for a far sync instance, be sure to specify the
FALLBACK keyword.
ORA-16678: unrecognized or duplicate attribute specified
Cause: The specified value contained an unrecognized or duplicated attribute.
Action: Ensure the property string does not contain any undefined or duplicate
attributes. See the Oracle Data Guard broker documentation for supported
attributes.
ORA-16679: one or more illegal keywords found
Cause: The specified value contained one or more illegal keywords.
Action: See the Oracle Data Guard broker documentation for the supported
keywords.
ORA-16680: value contains unbalanced set of parentheses
Cause: The specified value contained an unbalanced set of parentheses or a
missing set of parentheses.
Action: Ensure the parentheses are correctly matched and specify parentheses
when required. See the Oracle Data Guard broker documentation for more
information.
ORA-16681: value does not contain a colon
Cause: The specified value did not contain a colon (:).
Action: Include the colon (:) in the value.
ORA-16682: value contains duplicate databases or far sync instances
Cause: The specified value contained the same database or far sync instance
multiple times.
Action: Ensure that a database or far sync instance is specified only once.
ORA-16683: illegal, empty substring specified in property value
Cause: The value specified contained an illegal, empty string or substring, e.g.
"()".
Action: Remove the illegal empty strings and retry the command.
ORA-16684: maximum number of destinations exceeded
Cause: The value specified for the RedoRoutes property contained more than the
30 destinations.
Action: Ensure that no more than 30 destinations are specified.
ORA-16685: database does not receive redo data
Cause: The RedoRoutes property for all members of the configuration were set
such that this database did not receive redo data. Or, the transport state of the
database that sends redo data to this database is not valid.
Action: Check the setting of the RedoRoutes property for all members of the
configuration. Ensure that at least one member's RedoRoutes property value is set
13-254 Oracle Database Error Messages
to ship redo data to this database. Also check the transport state of the database
that sends redo data to this database.
ORA-16686: database may not receive redo data if redo source is an alternate
destination
Cause: This database may not receive redo data if the redo source is an alternate
destination that does not ship redo to this database.
Action: Ensure that any alternates for the redo source for this database includes
this database in its send to list.
ORA-16687: database has multiple redo sources
Cause: Using the RedoRoutes properties, multiple redo sources were shipping
redo to the standby.
Action: Using the RedoRoutes properties, ensure that only one redo source ships
redo to the standby.
ORA-16688: illegal alternate destination specified for RedoRoutes property
Cause: The specified value contained an alternate destination that was duplicated
with a regular destination or another alternate destination.
Action: Ensure that any database that's specified as an alternate is not also
specified as a regular destination or as an alternate destination for another regular
destination in the same rule.
ORA-16689: illegal sender specified for RedoRoutes property
Cause: A far sync instance or a Recovery Appliance was specified as the redo
source in a RedoRoutes property rule.
Action: Check the setting of the RedoRoutes property and confirm that a far sync
instance or a Recovery Appliance is not specified as the redo source in the
RedoRoutes property rule.
ORA-16690: illegal destination specified for RedoRoutes
Cause: A specified destination in a RedoRoutes rule either appears in the primary
setting of the same rule or is the local database itself.
Action: Ensure that any specfifed destination in a RedoRoutes rule neither
appears in the primary setting of the same rule nor be the local database itself.
ORA-16691: cannot remove a configuration member that is specified in a
RedoRoutes property
Cause: An attempt was made to remove a database or far sync instance that is
specified in another configuration member's RedoRoutes property.
Action: First remove the database or far sync instance from all other member's
RedoRoutes property values. Then retry the remove command.
ORA-16692: operation disallowed for a database or far sync instance that sends
redo data
Cause: An attempt was made to delete, disable, or convert a database that sends
redo data to another database or far sync instance.
Action: Reset the value of the RedoRoutes property to the empty string of the
database or far sync instance to be deleted, disabled, or converted (physical
standby database).
ORA-16693: requirements not met for enabling fast-start failover
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-255
Cause: The attempt to enable fast-start failover could not be completed because
one or more requirements were not met:
- The Oracle Data Guard configuration must be in either MaxAvailability or
MaxPerformance protection mode.
- The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the fast-start
failover target standby database must be set to either SYNC or FASTSYNC if the
configuration protection mode is set to MaxAvailability mode.
- The LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the fast-start
failover target standby database must be set to ASYNC if the configuration
protection mode is set to MaxPerformance mode.
- The primary database and the fast-start failover target standby database must
both have flashback enabled.
- No valid target standby database was specified in the primary database
FastStartFailoverTarget property prior to the attempt to enable fast-start failover,
and more than one standby database exists in the Oracle Data Guard
configuration.
- fast-start failover target standby database did not receive redo data directly from
the primary database when the protection mode was set to maximum performance
mode.
- The primary database has multiple routes to the fast-start failover target standby
database.
Action: Retry the command after correcting the issue:
- Set the Oracle Data Guard configuration to either MaxAvailability or
MaxPerformance protection mode.
- Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the
fast-start failover target standby database are set to either SYNC or FASTSYNC if
the configuration protection mode is set to MaxAvailability.
- Ensure that the LogXptMode property for both the primary database and the
fast-start failover target standby database are set to ASYNC if the configuration
protection mode is set to MaxPerformance.
- Ensure that both the primary database and the fast-start failover target standby
database have flashback enabled.
- Set the primary database FastStartFailoverTarget property to the DB_UNIQUE_
NAME value of the desired target standby database and set the desired target
standby database FastStartFailoverTarget property to the DB_UNIQUE_NAME
value of the primary database.
- Ensure the RedoRoutes property of the primary includes the name of the
fast-start failover target standby database when the protection mode is set to
maximum performance mode.
- Ensure the RedoRoutes property of the primary database has only one route to
the fast-start failover target standby database.
ORA-16694: one or more databases involved for switchover need to be restarted
Cause: An error occurred during the restart of either the old and the new primary
databases or both in a switchover operation.
Action: Manually restart both the old and new primary databases, including all
their Oracle RAC instances if it is an Oracle RAC database.
13-256 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16695: redo transport mode incompatible with RedoRoutes property value
Cause: The standby database could not be set to receive redo data from another
standby database or a far sync instance because either a RedoRoutes rule for that
standby did not specify ASYNC or the database's LogXptMode property was not
set to ASYNC.
Action: A standby database or far sync instance can only send redo data in
asynchronous mode. Set the standby database's LogXptMode property to ASYNC
before changing the RedoRoutes of the standby that is to send redo data. Or,
specify ASYNC in the sending database's RedoRoutes property to override the
value specified in the receiving database's LogXptMode property.
ORA-16696: redo source is disabled
Cause: An attempt was made to enable a database whose redo source was
disabled.
Action: Enable the redo source first and then retry the command.
ORA-16697: wrong standby type specified for RedoRoutes property modification
Cause: A logical standby database or snapshot standby database was specified to
send redo data.
Action: Check the setting of the RedoRoutes property and confirm that a primary
database, physical standby database, or far sync instance is specified to send the
redo data.
ORA-16698: LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n parameter set for object to be added
Cause: One or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters that
contain a SERVICE attribute but not the NOREGISTER attribute were set when
attempting to create a configuration or add a standby or far sync instance to the
configuration.
Action: If creating a configuration, clear all LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
initialization parameters that contain a SERVICE attribute but not the
NOREGISTER attribute. If adding a standby database or far sync instance, clear
the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter that specifies the database
or far sync instance to be added.
ORA-16699: connect identifier not specified
Cause: The connect identifier was not specified for the DGMGRL CLI ADD
command.
Action: Retry the ADD command with a connect identifier for the object to be
added.
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: Oracle Data Guard broker command failed
Cause: The command to modify or query the database failed.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for the reason for the failure
and reissue the command.
ORA-16702: Oracle Data Guard broker command warning
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-257
Cause: The command to modify or query the database resulted in a warning.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for the warning and, if
necessary, reissue the command.
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 the database first, update the property and then, reenable the
database.
ORA-16704: standby database not valid for primary database
Cause: The standby database was not added to the Oracle Data Guard broker
configuration because it was not a valid standby database for the primary
database.
Action: Add a database to the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration that is a
valid standby database to the primary database.
ORA-16706: Oracle Data Guard broker worker process not available
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker worker process was not 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 specified while broker management of the
database was disabled.
Action: Reset the property to a valid value.
ORA-16708: the state supplied to broker is invalid
Cause: The state name specified was invalid for the database.
Action: Check the state name and reissue the command.
ORA-16709: standby archived log location settings conflict with database recovery
area
Cause: The StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation property was set to
USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, but the initialization parameter DB_
RECOVERY_FILE_DEST did not specify a valid destination.
Action: Use a value other than USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST for
StandbyArchiveLocation or AlternateLocation, or set up a valid database recovery
area by setting DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST to a valid destination.
ORA-16710: snapshot standby database should be converted back to a physical
standby database as soon as possible
Cause: A failover causes this snapshot standby database to enter a state that
requires it to be re-created if another failover occurs before it is converted back to a
physical standby database.
Action: Reenable the snapshot standby database if it is disabled and convert it
back to a physical standby database as soon as possible because the snapshot
standby database will have to be re-created if another failover occurs while it is in
this state.
ORA-16713: The Oracle Data Guard broker command timed out.
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker timed out the command.
13-258 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Verify that the command is valid for the database and then retry the
command.
ORA-16714: the value of property string is inconsistent with the database setting

database in-memory settings or server parameter file settings. This may be caused
by changing an initialization parameter that corresponds to a configuration
property.
Action: Query the InconsistentProperties property on the database to determine
the which properties are set inconsistently. Reset the properties to make them with
the database settings.
ORA-16715: redo transport-related property string of standby database "string" is
inconsistent
Cause: The value of the specified redo transport-related configuration property of
the given standby database was inconsistent with the primary database redo
transport service setting. This may be caused by changing an initialization
parameter that corresponds to a configuration property.
Action: Query the InconsistentLogXptProps property on the primary database to
determine which redo transport properties are set inconsistently Reset the
properties on the standby database to make them consistent with the primary
database redo transport settings.
ORA-16716: clearing parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST failed
Cause: An attempt to clear the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST parameter failed.
Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.

Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker was unable to locate the database in the
broker configuration.
Action: Add the database to the broker configuration and then reissue the
command.
ORA-16719: unable to query V$ARCHIVE_DEST fixed view
Cause: The broker failed to query the V$ARCHIVE_DEST fixed view."
Action: Test and clear the problem using SQL*Plus.
ORA-16720: no LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters available
Cause: All LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters were in use, or all
initialization parameters from LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1 through LOG_
ARCHIVE_DEST_10 that can support SYNC or ALTERNATE were in use.
Action: Clear one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters so
that Data Guard broker can use them to set up the primary database redo
transport.
ORA-16721: unable to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameters
Cause: The broker was unable to set one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n
initialization parameters.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-259
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log files
for more details.
ORA-16722: unable to set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n initialization
parameters
Cause: The broker was unable to set one or more LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_
n initialization parameters.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log files
for more details.
ORA-16723: setting AlternateLocation property conflicts with the redo transport
setting
Cause: The standby database was not using standby redo logs, and the redo
transport service to the standby database is set to a nonzero value for the
ReopenSecs property and a value of zero for the MaxFailure property. In this case,
the redo transport service will attempt to send redo data to the standby database
indefinitely and never switch to the alternate destination.
Action: Any one of the following actions will solve the problem:
- add standby redo logs to the standby database.
- set ReopenSecs property to zero.
- set MaxFailure property to a nonzero value. After performing one of the above
actions, reset the standby database AlternateLocation property.
ORA-16724: cannot resolve gap for one or more standby databases
Cause: The primary database could not resolve a gap request from one or more
standby databases.
Action: To see which standby database has an unresolvable gap, check the status
of the primary database using either Enterprise Manager or the DGMGRL CLI
SHOW DATABASE command. Copy the missing archived log files from either
backups or from another database in the configuration that has the files to the
standby database that is missing the files.
ORA-16727: cannot close database
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker could not close the database.
Action: Terminate any active sessions connected to the database and then reissue
the command.

Cause: The consistency check for the specified property failed due to the error
shown.
Action: Check the error message and clear the error.
ORA-16729: validation of value for property string found string error
Cause: The property value validation failed due to the error shown.
Action: Check the error message and clear the error.
ORA-16730: SQL Apply was not started
Cause: SQL Apply was not started because there were no pluggable databases
opened in read/write mode.
Action: Open at least one pluggable database in read/write mode. Data Guard
will then automatically start SQL Apply.
13-260 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-16731: No pluggable databases are opened in read/write mode
Cause: The operation failed because there were no pluggable databases opened in
read/write mode.
Action: Open at least one pluggable database in read/write mode and retry the
command.
ORA-16732: Oracle Clusterware is restarting the database instance
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker operation required this database instance to
be shut down and restarted.
Action: If Oracle Clusterware has not already done so, shut down the Oracle
instance and then restart it.
ORA-16736: unable to find the destination entry of standby database "string" in
V$ARCHIVE_DEST

Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker failed to stop Redo Apply.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more details.
ORA-16775: target standby database in broker operation has potential data loss
Cause: The target standby database specified for the broker operation did not
have all the redo data from the primary database.
Action: Confirm that the redo transport service on the primary database is
functioning correctly by checking its status using either Enterprise Manager or the
DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE command. Reissue the broker command once
all redo data is available on the target standby database.
ORA-16776: health check of the redo transport service failed
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker could not complete the health check for the
redo transport service.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more details.
ORA-16777: unable to find the destination entry of a standby database in
V$ARCHIVE_DEST
Cause: Either a destination was manually deleted or no entry was available for
Oracle Data Guard.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more details. The redo transport service may need to be reset.
ORA-16778: redo transport error for one or more databases

standby databases.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more details. Query the LogXptStatus property to see the errors.
ORA-16779: the destination parameter of a database is set incorrectly
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-265
Cause: The destination was defined in the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n server
parameter file with incorrect syntax. The Oracle Data Guard broker failed to
update the destination when the redo transport was turned on.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file to see which database has the
problem. Fix the syntax error in the server parameter file or remove the entry from
the server parameter file. Check if the syntax of the redo transport-related
properties are correct.
ORA-16780: a database has exhausted its archived redo log storage quota
Cause: A database has exhausted its quota for storing archived redo logs.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file to see which database has the
problem. Remove some archived logs at the standby database or increase its quota.
ORA-16781: cannot determine status of redo transport service for standby database
Cause: The status of redo transport to the specified standby database could not be
determined.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more details.
ORA-16782: instance not open for read and write access
Cause: The database was mounted on an instance but not opened for read and
write access.
Action: For more details, check the status of the database using either Enterprise
Manager or the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE command. If possible, open the
instance manually.
ORA-16783: cannot resolve gap for database string
Cause: The primary database could not resolve a gap request from the specified
standby database(s).
Action: Copy the missing archived redo log files from either backups or from
another database in the configuration that has the files to the standby database(s)
missing the files.
ORA-16784: database name specified by Dependency property is incorrect
Cause: The database name, that should be the value of the DB_UNIQUE_NAME
initialization parameter, specified in the Dependency property was incorrect.
Action: Reset the Dependency property to the correct name of the database.
ORA-16785: the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Cause: The database was in NOARCHIVELOG mode when it was either a
primary database or when it was a standby database that was being switched over
to be a primary database.
Action: Set the database to ARCHIVELOG mode by issuing the ALTER
DATABASE ARCHIVELOG command.
ORA-16786: unable to access Oracle Data Guard broker configuration files
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker configuration files did not exist or or could
not be accessed.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for more details.
ORA-16788: unable to set one or more database configuration property values
13-266 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: This situation occurred when the broker attempted to set database
configurable property values into the database by issuing ALTER SYSTEM or
ALTER DATABASE commands. Typical causes of this error are:
- The values of redo transport-related properties contain syntax syntax errors.
- The value of the LogArchiveTrace property was out of range.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file to see which property has the
problem and set the property to the correct value.
ORA-16789: standby redo logs configured incorrectly
Cause: Standby redo logs were not configured or were configured incorrectly for
the database.
Action: Standby redo logs are required when the redo transport mode is set to
SYNC or ASYNC. Check the Oracle Data Guard documentation to find more
information about the correct configuration of standby redo logs.
ORA-16790: the value of the configurable property is invalid
Cause: An invalid property value was entered, or a RESET was attempted on a
property for which no Broker default value exists.
Action: Set the property to a correct value.
ORA-16791: unable to check the existence of the standby redo logs
Cause: The database may not be mounted, or the query of the V$STANDBY_LOG
fixed view failed.
Action: Ensure the database is mounted and query the V$STANDBY_LOG fixed
view to see if the problem has been corrected, and retry the operation.
ORA-16792: configurable property value is inconsistent with database setting
Cause: The values of one or more configurable properties were inconsistent with
database in-memory settings or server parameter file settings. This may happen by
directly altering initialization parameters instead of editing configurable property
values using Oracle Data Guard broker.
Action: Query the InconsistentProperties property on the database or check the
Oracle Data Guard broker log file to find which properties are set inconsistently.
Reset these properties to make them consistent with the database settings.
Alternatively, enable the database or the entire configuration to allow the
configurable property settings to be propagated to the initialization parameters.
ORA-16793: logical standby database guard is off
Cause: The logical standby database guard was turned off.
Action: Issue the ALTER DATABASE GUARD ALL command to turn the guard
on and verify that Data Guard health check error or 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 command to turn off the
guard and verify that Data Guard health check error or warning is cleared.
ORA-16795: the standby database needs to be re-created
Cause: A switchover or failover operation caused this database to require
re-creation. The database was marked for re-creation because it was not a viable
standby database for the new primary database. Until this error status is resolved
for this database, information about this database and the broker configuration to
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-267
which it belongs is unavailable to a broker client that is connected to this database.
Therefore, all commands directed by that client to this database cannot be
completed.
Action: Re-create (or flash back) the standby database. Connect to the primary
database in the broker configuration and reenable broker management of that
database. Once enabled, it is possible to connect to that standby database and
manage it with the broker. Alternatively, many client commands that cannot be
completed at the standby database when in this error state can be completed
successfully when issued to the primary database. In this case, simply reconnect to
the primary database and retry the command.
ORA-16796: one or more properties could not be imported from the member
Cause: The broker was unable to import property values for the member being
added to the broker configuration. This error indicates:
- The Oracle Net service name specified in DGMGRL CREATE
CONFIGURATION, ADD DATABASE, ADD FAR_SYNC, or ADD RECOVERY_
APPLIANCE command was not one that provides access to the member being
added.
- There were no instances running for the member being added.
Action: Remove the member from the configuration using the REMOVE
CONFIGURATION, REMOVE DATABASE, REMOVE FAR_SYNC, or REMOVE
RECOVERY_APPLIANCE command. Make sure that the member to be added has
at least one instance running and that the Oracle Net service name provides access
to the running instance. Also, check the broker log file for additional information.
Then, reissue the CREATE CONFIGURATION, ADD DATABASE, ADD FAR_
SYNC, or ADD RECOVERY_APPLIANCE command.
ORA-16797: member is not using a server parameter file
Cause: The member was not using a server parameter file or the broker was
unable to access the server parameter file.
Action: Issue the CREATE SPFILE='..' FROM PFILE='...' command to create a
server parameter file and then restart the member to use it.
ORA-16798: unable to complete recovery during failover
Cause: The physical standby database could not complete recovery during
failover.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log files
to see more details on the reason for the failure.
ORA-16799: Redo Apply is not running
Cause: Either the Oracle Data Guard broker configuration indicated that Redo
Apply was turned off, or the MRP0 recovery process was not running. As a result,
Redo Apply-related properties could not be set.
Action: Turn on Redo Apply through Oracle 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 was set to ALTERNATE
when no other destination is set to alternate to this destination.
Action: Reenable the standby database or the entire configuration to allow the
configuration property settings to be propagated to the initialization parameters.
13-268 Oracle Database Error Messages
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 directly altering initialization parameters instead of
editing configurable property values using Oracle Data Guard broker.
Action: Query the InconsistentLogXptProps property on the primary database or
check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file to find which properties are set
inconsistently. Reset these properties to make them consistent with the database
settings. Alternatively, enable the database or the entire configuration to allow the
configurable property settings to be propagated to the initialization parameters.
ORA-16802: downgrading redo transport mode from SYNC disallowed
Cause: An attempt was made to downgrade the redo transport mode of a standby
database from SYNC to ASYNC when the configuration was in Maximum
Protection or Maximum Availability mode and the primary database was an
Oracle RAC database. This was disallowed even though there may have been
other standby databases with redo transport modes set to SYNC to support the
protection mode.
Action: Do one of the following if the redo transport mode of the standby must be
downgraded:
- Shut down all instances of the primary database and restart one instance with the
initialization parameter CLUSTER_DATABASE set to FALSE. Downgrade the redo
transport mode of the standby database of interest. Then, shutdown the instance,
set the the CLUSTER_DATABASE initialization parameter to TRUE, and restart all
primary database instances.
- Downgrade the protection mode to Maximum Performance mode and then,
downgrade the redo transport mode of the standby database of interest. Finally,
upgrade the protection mode. This will require a restart of all primary database
instances if upgrading to Maximum Protection mode. Note that the above only
works when there is at least one standby database in the configuration that has its
redo transport mode set to SYNC.
ORA-16803: unable to query a database table or fixed view
Cause: Querying a database table or fixed view failed. The database may not be
opened or mounted.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for more details.
ORA-16804: one or more configuration properties have invalid values
Cause: Oracle Data Guard broker health check detected that one or more
configuration properties in the broker configuration had invalid values. The
property values were changed while broker management of the database was
disabled.
Action: Check Data Guard broker log file for more details on which properties
have invalid values and reset them through the Oracle Data Guard broker.
ORA-16805: change of LogXptMode property violates overall protection mode
Cause: The broker disallowed the attempt to change the LogXptMode
configurable property for the standby database because, if allowed, the overall
protection mode for the configuration would have been violated.
Action: If the LogXptMode configuration property must be changed for the
specified standby database, first downgrade the overall protection mode for the
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-269
broker configuration. After that operation has completed, the LogXptMode
configuration property for the standby database can be changed.
ORA-16806: supplemental logging is not turned on
Cause: Supplemental logging was not turned on while there was a logical standby
database in the configuration. This could happen either on the primary database
or on the logical standby database that was being switched over to become the
primary database.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file 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 Data Guard broker log file and the Oracle alert log file
for more information.
ORA-16808: primary database is not open
Cause: A prior attempt to open the primary database was disallowed because the
primary had shut itself down earlier after being isolated from both the fast-start
failover observer and the target standby database for more than
FastStartFailoverThreshold seconds. It was assumed that a fast-start failover was
underway. Since that time, re-contact with either the observer or the target standby
database indicates that no such failover had actually occurred. The primary
database can now be opened.
Action: Open the database by issuing the SQL*Plus ALTER DATABASE OPEN
command.
ORA-16809: multiple warnings detected for the database
Cause: The broker detected multiple warnings for the database.
Action: To get a detailed status report, check the status of the database specified
using either Enterprise Manager or the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE
command.
ORA-16810: multiple errors or warnings detected for the database
Cause: The broker detected multiple errors or warnings for the database.
Action: To get a detailed status report, check the status of the database specified
using either Enterprise Manager or the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE
command.
ORA-16811: apply instance not recorded by the Oracle Data Guard broker
Cause: The broker did not register 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 were not running on the instance the Data Guard
broker expected them to be running upon.
Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.
ORA-16813: log apply service not running on apply instance string recorded by the
broker
13-270 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: Log apply services were not running on the instance the Data Guard
broker expected them to be running upon.
Action: Reenable the standby database to clear the error.
ORA-16814: incorrect redo transport setting for AlternateLocation for standby
database
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected an incorrect redo transport setting
for a standby database AlternateLocation property. The incorrect setting could be
one of the following:
- The AlternateLocation property was empty, but the redo transport to the standby
database had an ALTERNATE setting.
- The AlternateLocation property was not empty and the redo transport to the
standby database had no ALTERNATE setting.
- The AlternateLocation property did not match the ALTERNATE setting in the
redo transport. The mismatch may include service string, directory specification of
the alternate location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute.
- The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter corresponding to the alternate
location was not set to ALTERNATE.
- The flash recovery area was being used by the standby database for archived
logs, but the redo transport to the standby database still had an ALTERNATE
setting for the AlternateLocation property. Data Guard broker log files provide
more details on which of the above cases caused 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 Oracle Data Guard broker detected an incorrect redo transport setting
for a standby database AlternateLocation property. The incorrect setting could be
one of the following:
- The AlternateLocation property was empty, but the redo transport to the standby
database had an ALTERNATE setting.
- The AlternateLocation property was not empty and the redo transport to the
standby database had no ALTERNATE setting.
- The AlternateLocation property did not match the ALTERNATE setting in the
redo transport. The mismatch may include service string, directory specification of
the alternate location, or the DB_UNIQUE_NAME attribute.
- The LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_STATE_n parameter corresponding to the alternate
location was not set to ALTERNATE.
- The flash recovery area was being used by the standby database for archived
logs, but the redo transport to the standby database still had an ALTERNATE
setting for the AlternateLocation property. Data Guard broker log files provide
more details on which of the above cases caused the error.
Action: Reenable the primary database to clear the error.
ORA-16816: incorrect database role
Cause: The Oracle Data Guard broker detected that the specified database had a
different database role than that recorded in the Oracle Data Guard broker
configuration. This could be the result of a failed switchover or failover operation,
or a switchover or failover operation performed with SQL*Plus.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-271
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker documentation to see how to recover
from failed role change operations, or from role changes that were performed
using SQL*Plus for databases managed by Oracle Data Guard broker.
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 data to it. When the standby database has
received all of the redo data from the primary database, the primary and standby
databases will then be synchronized. The Oracle Data Guard configuration may
then fail over 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 the primary database. This effectively restores the ability to
automatically perform a fast-start failover in the event of a failure of the primary
database.
ORA-16819: 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 host where the observer was running was not available.
- The network connection between the observer and this database was not
available.
- The observer process was terminated unexpectedly.
Action: Check the reason why the observer cannot contact this database. If the
problem cannot be corrected, stop the current observer by connecting to the Oracle
Data Guard configuration and issue the DGMGRL STOP OBSERVER command.
Then, restart the observer on another host. Finally, use the DGMGRL START
OBSERVER command to start the observer on the other host.
ORA-16821: logical standby database dictionary not yet loaded
Cause: The logical standby database had not loaded the dictionary. This status
was detected by the broker health check mechanism. Alternatively, this status may
be returned when attempting to switch or fail over to a logical standby database
that had not yet loaded its dictionary.
Action: Start SQL Apply on the logical standby database, if it is not already
running, and wait for it to reach the APPLYING state.
ORA-16822: new primary database not yet ready for standby database
reinstatement
13-272 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The new primary database, as a result of a logical standby database
failover operation, had not fully completed the failover operation. An attempt to
reinstate a disabled standby database could not be completed until failover
completed on the new primary database.
Action: Wait until the failover operation has completed on the new primary
database. Then retry the reinstate operation.
ORA-16823: redo transport mode is incompatible for current operation
Cause: The redo transport mode of this database was incompatible for this broker
operation.
Action: Reset the LogXptMode database property for this database and retry the
broker operation.
ORA-16824: multiple warnings, including fast-start failover-related warnings,
detected for the database
Cause: The broker detected multiple warnings for the database. At least one of
these warnings may have prevented fast-start failover from occurring.
Action: To get a detailed status report, check the status of the database specified
using either Enterprise Manager or the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE
command.
ORA-16825: multiple errors or warnings, including fast-start failover-related errors
or warnings, detected for the database
Cause: The broker detected multiple errors or warnings for the database. At least
one of these errors or warnings may have prevented a fast-start failover from
occurring.
Action: To get a detailed status report, check the status of the database specified
using either Enterprise Manager or the DGMGRL CLI SHOW DATABASE
command.
ORA-16826: apply service state is inconsistent with the DelayMins property
Cause: This warning was caused by one of the following reasons:
- The apply service was started without specifying the real-time apply option or
without the NODELAY option when the DelayMins property was set to zero.
- The apply service was started with the real-time apply option or with the
NODELAY option when the DelayMins property was set to a value greater than
zero.
Action: Reenable the standby database to allow the broker to restart the apply
service with the apply options that are consistent with the specified value of the
DelayMins property.
ORA-16827: Flashback Database is disabled
Cause: The broker detected that the Flashback Database feature was disabled.
With Flashback Database disabled, the broker would not be able to:
- reinstate a database that required reinstatement.
- convert a physical standby database to a snapshot standby database.
- convert a snapshot standby database to a physical standby database. Flashback
Database may been disabled manually with the ALTER DATABASE FLASHBACK
DATABASE OFF command or automatically by the database in the event of an
error.
ORA-12700 to ORA-19400 13-273
Action: Check the database alert log to determine whether Flashback Database
was disabled due to errors and then correct the problem. If Flashback Database
had been manually disabled, reenable Flashback Database with the ALTER
DATABASE FLASHBACK DATABASE ON command. If, after enabling Flashback
Database, the database still cannot be reinstated or converted, you must re-create
the database from a copy of the primary database.
ORA-16828: invalid value specified for REDO_TRANSPORT_USER initialization

transport lag or poor performance of apply services on the standby database.
Action: Check for gaps on the standby database. If no gap is present, tune the
apply services.
ORA-16854: apply lag could not be determined
Cause: Apply lag could not be determined because either apply services were not
running or there was no connectivity between the redo source and standby
database.
Action: Start apply services if they are not running. Also, ensure that there is
network connectivity between the redo source and standby databases, and the
redo source is sending redo data to the standby.
ORA-16855: transport lag has exceeded specified threshold
Cause: The current transport lag exceeded the value specified by the
'TransportLagThreshold' database property. It is caused by either poor network
performance between the redo source and the standby databases or a network
disconnection.
Action: Check the network connection between the redo source and standby
databases. If they are connected, check the network performance between the redo
source and the standby databases and tune it if necessary.
ORA-16856: transport lag could not be determined
Cause: Transport lag could not be determined because there was no connectivity
between the redo source and standby databases.
Action: Ensure that there is network connectivity between the redo source and
standby databases, and the redo source is working properly.
ORA-16857: standby disconnected from redo source for longer than specified
threshold

not contain any of these attributes: LOCATION, ALTERNATE, MAX_FAILURE,
SYNC, TEMPLATE, MANDATORY, DELAY, NET_TIMEOUT, and VALID_FOR.
ORA-16863: A member whose MaxFailure property is set to zero cannot have an
alternate destination.
Cause: A member was specified to have an alternate destination when its
MaxFailure configurable property was set to zero.
Action: Set the member's MaxFailure property to a nonzero value and retry the
command.
ORA-16864: The MaxFailure property cannot be set to zero for a member that has
an alternate destination.
Cause: An attempt was made to set the MaxFailure configurable property to zero
when it had an alternate destination specified.
Action: Set the member's MaxFailure configurable property to a nonzero value.
ORA-16865: database is closing or is not mounted on the instance

closing or was not mounted on the instance.
Action: No action is required if the database is closing. Mount the database if it is
not yet mounted on the instance.
ORA-16900: change of LogXptMode or RedoRoutes property violates overall
protection mode
Cause: The broker did not allow the attempt to change the LogXptMode or
RedoRoutes configurable property for the standby database or far sync instance
because, if allowed, the overall protection mode for the configuration would have
been violated.
Action: If the LogXptMode or RedoRoutes configuration property must be
changed for the specified standby database or far sync instance, first downgrade
the overall protection mode for the broker configuration. After that operation has
completed, the LogXptMode or RedoRoutes configuration property for the
standby database can be changed.
ORA-16901: inconsistent alternate destinations specified with RedoRoutes
Cause: The specification of alternates for the RedoRoutes property for a member
was set inconsistently with respect to another member's RedoRoutes property.
Action: Check the Oracle Data Guard broker log file for the reason for the failure
and reissue the command. Ensure that the member's RedoRoutes alternate setting
is set consistently with other member's RedoRoutes property.
