Error logging in as sysdba - "insufficient privileges"

Hi,
I have AS10.1.2.0.2 installed on my linux box.
i have infrastructure as well as midtier both installed in the same machine on different oracle homes.
after installing everything worked fine and brought down the system just to test it.
and upon restarting the system, i started the listener first, and then i tried to enter sqlplus using
"connect sys/pwd@asdb as sysdba"
but when i used this login i got message saying "insufficient privileges"
i wanted to login as sysdba and give a "startup" command.
Can someone explain why this error.
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip,
Just set your environement variable well.
example:
export ORACLE_HOME= your oracle home where you have installed your infra.
export ORACLE_SID= (the name of your Metadata)
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/ as sysdba
You 'll be connected to you DB.
then
SQL>startup
Cheers,
Hamdy

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Weird Error - sometime getting ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

    Problem - Java process throwing java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges for simple select statement select * from MYTABLE , table having only three rows
    Observation - While investigating. I did same select from sql developer using same credential, I get same ORA-01031: insufficient privileges error in sql developer too BUT ONLY if I create new connection. (Disconnect and connect again), If I fire same query again in same connection it runs fine.
    SELECT * FROM MYTABLE;
    there is no problem if I run query in small case (notice only select and from in small case), even if it is fresh connection there is no error.
    select * from MYTABLE;
    I am out of any clue what is going on. Any help?

    Hi,
    i dont think is due to authorization issue. There's a different between "FULL" and "WHOLE" database online backup.
    Full database backup : Will backup all the databasee files (Inclusing datafiles, online redolog files and the control files) and do the catalog. So that we can use this as the referance backup and we can do the incremental backup.
    Whole database backup : Will backup all the databasee files (Inclusing datafiles, online redolog files and the control files). We can't use this for the incremental backup.
    As you see from the log, full database online backup is calling RMAN. FYI, backup your system with "Whole" is equally good unless you want to to use incremental backup.
    Thanks,
    Nicholas Chang

  • Can't log into db console (insufficient privileges error at log in screen).

    I have two system I just rebuilt and one server with same users and grants logs in fine, the other one gives me this error even on attempting to log in as sys as sysdba.
    I read that I had to grant select_catalog_role and select any dictionary, which I did and it still will not let me log in.
    OS:Linux AS4 update 8, Oracle 10g (10.2.0.4.0), attempting to log into dbconsole.
    Any advice would be great. Is there a way to stop dbconsole and restart it- will that work? Or shutdown the database and restart???

    my sysman user account was locked- I unlocked it and now I am fine.

  • 8.1.6 install fails with Error 1321 Installer has insufficient privileges -

    Thanx kashifMohd,
    Downloaded the fix, vetted it, and before creating a new Administrator account used the following recipe with success:
    1. Ran downloaded fix with usual Admin Account and got the “Error 1321 for Search.api.” as before, but now there is a pop-up asking "Retry" or "Cancel" that did not appear when using "Get Updates" function from running Adobe Reader. Replied "Cancel".
    2. Rebooted, and disabled Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
    3. Again ran downloaded fix with usual Admin Account and got Error 1321 for different file: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\plug_ins3d\3difr.x3d" with pop-up asking "Retry" or "Cancel".
    4. Clicked "Retry" this time and installation completed successfully.
    Thanx again.

    names.addresses = (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ONAMES))
    Syntax: ADDR
    Default: (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=IPC)(KEY=ONAMES))
    Address on which the client cache listens (is available to clients).
    Any valid TNS address is allowed. The default should be used if at
    all possible; clients have this entry hardwired as the first line
    of their server-list file (sdns.ora). If the address is set to a
    non-default value the client's preferred_servers parameter should
    be set to include the client-cache address first.
    names.authority_required = False
    Syntax: T/F

    Determines whether system querys (for the root etc) require Authoritative
    answers.
    names.auto_refresh_expire = 259200
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 60-1209600
    Default: 259200
    This is the amount of time (in seconds) the server will cache the addresses
    of servers listed in server-list file (sdns.ora). When this time expires the
    server will issue another query to the servers in those regions to refresh
    the data.

    names.cache_checkpoint_file = cache.ckp
    Syntax: filename
    Default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/names/ckpcch.ora
    Specifies the name of the operating system file to which the Names Server
    writes its foreign data cache.
    names.cache_checkpoint_interval = 7200
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 10-259200

    Syntax: Name-Value/address_list
    Default: NULL
    A list (in NV form) of the addresses of other servers which should be used to
    forward querys while in default_forwarder (slave) mode. NAME is the global
    names for the server to which forwards whould be directed, and ADDRESS is its
    address.
    names.default_forwarders_only = True
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    When set to true this server will use the servers listed in default_forwarders
    to forward all operations which involve data in foreign regions. Otherwise it
    will use the servers defined in the server-list file (sdns.ora) in addition
    to any defined in the default_forwarders parameter.

    Default: $ORACLE_HOME/network/log
    Indicates the name of the directory where the log file for Names Server
    operational events are written.
    names.log_file = names.log

    Default: names.log
    The name of the output file to which Names Server operational events are
    written.
    names.log_stats_interval = 3600
    Syntax: Number of seconds, 10-ub4max
    Default: sec.     0 (off)
    Specifies the number of seconds between statistical entries in log file.
    names.log_unique = False
    Syntax: T/F
    Default: False
    If set to true the server will guarantee that the log file will have a unique
    name which will not overwrite any existing files (note that log files are
    appended to, so log information will not be lost if log_unique is not true).
    names.max_open_connections = 10
    Syntax: 3-64
    Default: 10
    Specifies the number of connections that the Names Server can have open at any
    given time. The value is generated as the value 10 or the sum of one
    connection for listening, five for clients, plus one for each foreign domain
    defined in the local administrative region, whichever is greater. Any
    operation which requires the server to open a network connection will use
    an already open connection if it is available, or will open a connection
    if not. Higher settings will save time and cost network resources; lower
    settings save network resources, cost time.
    names.max_reforwards = 2
    Syntax: 1-15
    Default: 2
    The maximum number of times the server will attempt to forward a certain
    operation.
    names.message_pool_start_size = 24
    Syntax: 3-256
    Default: 10
    Determines the initial number of messages allocated in the server's message
    pool. This pool provides the server with pre-allocated messages to be used
    for incoming or outgoing messages (forwards). Messages which are in the pool
    and unused may be reused. If a message is needed and no free messages are

  • Insufficient Privileges when export  tablespaces

    Hello all,
    I use Oracle 8i (8.1.7.0) W2K.
    I need to copy the existing database to new server (hardware upgrade reason) so I decide to use exp to backup my datafile and dmp file
    The Problem is :
    when I use command :
    exp file=tbl.dmp buffer=500000 transport_tablespace=y tablespaces=user_data
    and system will ask me user name :
    I have enter : sys/change_on_install@db1 as sysdba
    I have got the error message :
    EXP-00056: ORACLE error 1031 encountered
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    I have ensured that sys as a sysdba in my database 100%
    Anyone have any suggestion or any idea?
    I will be appreciated for you support...
    Thank you verymuch in advance.

    You need a database on which SYS has run the following packages:
        $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catplug.sql
        $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmsplts.sql      -   
        $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/prvtplts.plb    You need access to the following packages: SYS.DBMS_PLUGTS and SYS.DBMS_TTS. If you can't see those I think it's likely those scripts have not been run.

  • Insufficient Privileges when executing DBMS_STREAMS_AUTH.grant_admin_privil

    Greetings Guru's
    When I execute dbms_streams_auth.grant_admin_privilege procedure as a user granted the DBA role. I get the following error stack.
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_STREAMS_AUTH", line 1211
    ORA-06512: at line 2
    The command only seems to work when I execute it as the sys user. In my environment the sys user account will be locked out. Also, since you have to execute the commands on a remote database I can not do a connect as sysdba.
    What privileges do I need to grant to a DBA user to successfully execute the DBMS_STREAMS_AUTH.GRANT_ADMIN_PRIVILEGE procedure/package?
    Thanks in advance
    Derrick

    Hello
    This is supposed to be executed as SYS user itself. Oracle does not recommend to execute this as SYSTEM.
    Anyway I dont have a direct answer for this. Please try the following to find out more on this:
    connect / as sysdba
    create directory tmp_dir as '/tmp';
    --i assume strmadmin user exists already
    begin
    dbms_streams_auth.grant_admin_privilege
    grantee=>'strmadmin',
    grant_privileges=>false,
    file_name=>'strm_privs.sql',
    directory_name=>'tmp_dir'
    end;
    Now this will create a script called /tmp/strm_privs.sql. Please execute the individual statements of this as the system user to find out which statement fails when it executes.
    Hope this helps, let me know if you need more information on this.
    Thanks,
    Rijesh

    Hi Guys,
    I am trying to create a package, inside that package create a function.
    I am getting error - PL/SQL: ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
    I have done -
    1. Conn system/system@mydb
    2. Grant select on system.v_db_name to <user>
    3. Conn <user>/<pwd>@mydb
    4. Create or Replace Function get_db_name Return VARCHAR2 IS

    ELSIF Lower(v_db_name1) = 'vlive9i' THEN
    v_db_name1 := 'vl';
    END IF; RETURN v_db_name1;
    END;
    I understand that privileges have to be given directly and not through role.
    That is what i have done in first step, but still this error persists.
    Can anyone please help in this?

  • Insufficient privileges for creating a table in a procedure

    Hello,
    I have a problem with creating a table from within a procedure. The error is
    -1031 : ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    All objects are owned by the same user, and the procedure is run under that user. This user has CREATE ANY TABLE with Admin Option rights.
    I am working with Oracle 8i.
    Can anybody tell me how I can fix this?
    Thanks, Wouter

    Does the user have the CREATE ANY TABLE privilege granted directly to it, or through a role? Stored procedures by default don't know about any privileges granted through a role.
