Best Regards.Please post the message in the alert-file as stated.
It can e.g. be that while copying the file permissions have been changed, making the files not readable for the oracle user

Edited by: ayadsufyan on 21-Nov-2012 01:30I'd say the error message is pretty self-evident:
ORA-00202: control file: 'E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\ORCL\CONTROL01.CTL'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
OSD-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) can not find the specified fileWhat do you suppose "can not find the specified file" means?
And what does this have to do with database security?

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

Hello All,
I am performing my first Collab Suite install in quite some time and I have successfully installed Collaboration Suite on Linux Red Hat AS 4. I first performed an infrastructure installation for the Collab Suite database which completed with no errors, however, it appears that no control files were created in my $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directory during installation. I am also unable to specify their exact location in the initSID.ora file as I am unable to find them in any other directory on my server. The database starts despite the control file error, as you can see from the second SQL*Plus prompt. However, I am unsure how to create the control files or correct this error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Control files are database-specific, since they contain information describing the database (location of data files, etc.) You can't copy them from one database to another.
Do you have a backup?

Check alert log without loggin into the server ??

hello all,
Is there any way i can look at the last 30 - 50 lines in the alert log without going thru vi or any editor on unix system ?? I am on 10203 (hp - ux). and i have dba grant to me. But do not have access to the server to login as oracle to view the alert log...so i was wondering if there are any procedures handy or anyways to look at the alert log without loggin in to unix system??
THANK YOU..

How to check particular error in alert log file

Hi all,
How to check particular error in alert log file,for supose if i get error in batabase yesterday 4 pm & today i want to check alert log file to get basic idea..it might be a big file so how to check that particular error..
Thanks & regards,
Eswar..

What's your oracle version?
If you are in 11g you can use adrci tool
1- set homes diag/rdbms/orawiss/ORAWISS/ : the rdbms home
2- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%'" -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file
3- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-51 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last 51 days,
4- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last hour,
5- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-12012%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find the particular ORA-12012 error in the alert file during the last hour,

ORA.00600 Error in alert log file

Hi all,
I'm using Enterprise Linux Red hat 5 OS and Oracle version 10.2.0.1.0
I checked alert log file, yesterday i got this error,
* Errors in file /opt/oracle/admin/ssharp/udump/ssharp_ora_11162.trc:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kksfbc-reparse-infinite-loop], [0xB7F8F6B4], [], [], [], [], [], []
Fri Mar 11 19:44:51 2011
Memory Notification: Library Cache Object loaded into SGA
Heap size 3784K exceeds notification threshold (2048K) *
how to solve this issue?
thanks in advance

Hello,
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [kksfbc-reparse-infinite-loop], [0xB7F8F6B4], [], [], [], [], [], []For this kind of error you should open a Service Request to My Oracle Support and, send them all the information you can (Alert log, trace files, ...).
More over, as you are in *10.2.0.1*, you may apply the latest patchset to the Database (10.2.0.4 / 10.2.0.5). Sometime, ORA-00600 may be due to a Bug. So, perhaps, by chance, applying a Patch set can help to solve this kind of issue.
Anyway, first of all, contact the Support.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Errror in Alert.log - ksvcreate: Process() creation failed

The below error message repeats in alert.log everyday:
ksvcreate: Process() creation failed
The trace file for MMON is getting update whenever this error is reported in the alert.log. Below is the error message from the trace file:
Unable to schedule a MMON slave at: Auto Flush Main 1
Attempt to create slave process failed.
Can happen for several reasons:
- No process state objects
- Reached OS set limits
- A shutdown was going on
Check alert log for more details.
***KELR Apply Log: unable to schedule MMON Slave, error 3
I have checked the process utilisation of the database and the utilisation is well below the max. Checked on OS limits and that also is set to a high value.
Is there anyone who have received similar error message and got a resolution handy.
DB Version: 10.2.0.1
OS Version: Linux 2.6.18

hi,
do the following
SQL> show parameter process
NAME TYPE VALUE
processes integer 3000
SQL> show parameter session
NAME TYPE VALUE
sessions integer 3305
SQL> select count(*) from v$session;
COUNT(*)
2994
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM v$process;
COUNT(*)
2990
Solution
- kill processes which generates the processes ( usually from http)
- restart database

Questions regarding Alert log & Control file

Hello,
This is my first post to this forum. I'm new at administrating a database 11.2.0.3. I have couple of questions regarding Oracle DB.
1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards

1)Which one is preferred method among the two?
Checking alert log fie manually or automating a shell script for checking alert log file.
That depends on your comfortability - But checking alert log is good.
2) Does setting CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME parameter to zero make the database unrecoverable, if RMAN recovery catalog is not used?
Yes - you cannot recover your database if it set zero and doesn't have recovery catalog.

Checking alert through OEM

Is there any way i can check alert log file by using OEM 9i?

Not view the alert log file, but you can Create an Alert Event tha monitors the alert and sends you a notification
Create Events > Tests > Database > Fault > Alert

How to check instance alert.log in RAC 10g ASM environment?

i know to use Grid control or OEM check instance alert.log?
But since in ASM the alert.log is not recognized, how to check it in OS level just like regular non-RAC checking?
or the best way to check it ?
thanks a lot!

thanks a lot!Well if you mean that you have put the alert over asm storage than where did it mention to put alert file over ASM? Is not like an o/s where one can go and read the file and surely, neither we need striping or mirroring of it either. I am not sure that there is any way to do so over ASM storage.
