Ora-00439 enable block change tracing

Hi,
I am attempt to use the feature ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING and cannot obtain succefully. When I issue the statement:
sql> alter database enable block change tracking;
I get the error:
ORA-00439 - feature not enable
My estructure is: Red Rat 4 and Oracle 10.2.0.1
Samebody can help me?

I suspect the message means that the feature is only available with the Enterprise Edition. Check the documentation for the standard edition.
If the feature is available with the standard edition then use the full syntax where you specifiy where you want the block change tracking file written to and see if that makes a difference. I believe the default with 10g is to go to the database flashback directory. If you did not configure one then that could be a problem. If you used the full syntax and do have a flashback area but that was not where you tried to place the file I would try defaulting it.
I lean to the feature not being available in your version.

  • Enable Block Change Tracking in 11gr2

    Hi Team,
    If my database file system is in ASM..Can I enable blk change tracking in local filesystem?
    Or IS it better to do in ASM? Any new features in 11gr2?
    Regards,
    Manohar

    Do you plan running DUPLICATE against that DB?
    If yes, you should place the Block Change Tracking File in a location that would enable you to effectively deal with this nasty bug:
    "Bug 10193846 - RMAN duplicate fails with ORA-19755 when BCT file is not accessible [ID 10193846.8]"
    Also, If you plan to use DUPLICATE, you should “name” your Block Change Tracking File, rather than going with the system name.
    This advice applied only for 11gR2 versions that are affected by the bug.

  • Block change tracking

    Hello,
    I have a Oracle 10.1.0.5.0 on Windows 2003. My need to enable block change tracking. So I login SQL PLUS as sysdba:
    SQL> ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING USING FILE
    'HOME/DB_INSTANCE/BLOCK_CHANGE.TRC';
    ALTER DATABASE ENABLE
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Block Change Tracking.
    I have read some documentations and this is command I should use. Please help me where I can enable this feature.
    Many thanks!

    According to the metalink note 271197.1, the fast incremental feature is not included in the Standard Edition.
    As suggested earlier, check the Edition you are working on.

  • How to multiplex the block change tracking file?

    Hi,
    I have a question to change block tracking feture.
    The normal way to enable block change tracking would be:
    ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING
    USING FILE 'mydir/change_track.f'
    REUSE;
    What if my harddrive is gone?
    Is there anyway to define more than one destinitaion like for archive log files?

    The difference is... archive log files can contain irreplaceable data.
    With Block Change Tracking the data is not irreplaceable , just run full RMAN backup and then regen the file. <- IMHO

  • Block change tracking file error

    error: "since the database area is not set you must specify a block change tracking file"
    how can i fix this error.

    else
    2.how can i set a database area
    Thanks,

    Hi Anita,
    i have 2 more problems which i have explained below.
    1. i am running my oracle 10g in linux and after starting the listener, when i try to start the database using
    "dbstart" command, i get following error
    "Failed to auto-start Oracle Net Listener using /ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle/bin/tnslsnr"
    i really have no idea what is this error and how to solve this erorr. Can you please help me. i have also posted a separate forum for this with the heading as
    "dbstart" command error
    2. my tnsservice name works sometimes and some other times it does not work at all.
    at sqlplus prompt when i login as
    sys/pwd@orcl as sysdba
    sometimes it works fine, other times it gives me error similar to -- protocol could not identify this service name.
    Thanks,
    Philip.

  • RMAN block change tracking doubt

    hi guys,
    I want to speed up my RMAN incremental backup.So i decide to enable the block change tracking mechanism. How to implement it ? Should i create any file or set any parameters? plz guide me...
    Oracle version:10.2.0.1.0
    WindowsNT
    TIA,

    ALTER DATABASE
    ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING
    USING FILE os_file_name;
    use this command on the database level. As soon as the file kept the data change tracking, u will speed up ur increamental backups.

  • Block change tracking and Backup size

    DB Version : 10gRelease
    We have a Differential Incremental Backup strategy with Recovery Window retention policy. I haven't enabled BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING. Just would like to know if the backup size of both Level 0 and Level1 backups become smaller by enabling Block Change Tracking. Or is it just Level 1 backups' size which is going to decrease?
    Thank you.

    An excerpt from Oracle RMAN 11g Backup and Recovery by Robert G. Freeman & Matthew Hart
    ISBN: 978-0-07-162861-7
    The Block Change Tracking File
    By default, when doing an incremental backup, any datafile that has changed in any way will be
    backed up. This can make incremental backups take longer and will make them larger. RMAN
    offers the ability to just back up changed database blocks. +This can make your incremental+
    +database backups much smaller and shorter.+ To enable block change tracking, issue the command
    alter database enable block change tracking. The result of this command will be the creation of a
    file called the block change tracking file (BCTF).Checkout the word smaller.
    Two things:
    A. This is not Official oracle documentation ( Oracle press though)
    B. This book is about 11g. I don't know if BCTF makes backups smaller in 11G.

  • Urgent - ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Partitioning - Windows

    As suggested already, you need to install the Partitioning option from the OUI. Please run OUI from your oracle home (locate it from Start>All Programs) . It will load a product listing file, in the end , a listing of features would be shown to you which would show Partitioning as a new install . Do the installatation and you should be fine.

  • Error: ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Managed Standby

    Hi there, after I turned on auto archiving in the init.ora file (altered archivelog) and started up the DB, I get the error "ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Managed Standby" while starting up the instance. Under the Alert log, it said License_max_session = 0 and license_sessions_warning = 0. Is that mean I need licenses in order to turn Auto archiving on? how?
    PS: I can "alter system archive log start to '...';" though when the instance is open.
    Thanks,
    -Harry

    I couldn't agree more with Kin..
    Are you running Enterprise Edition? If not, Managed Recovery Mode, is available only with the Enterprise Edition of 8.1.x. This
    may be why you are getting this error. Also, check v$option and see what 'Managed Standby' option shows, TRUE or FALSE. If
    FALSE and you are running Enterprise Edition, then you may want to post to the Microsoft forum regarding getting this installed.
    It would also help to know what your 'compatibility' parameter is set to.
    I have read numerous...views..
    some syntoms:
    - enabling my database mode to archivelog
    However when you take out the parameter
    log_archive_dest_1 parameter and added the old log_archive_dest paremeter then database opened fine.
    also if you remove the word location and the
    character =
    it might just work.
    hope this helps

  • Partitioning option enabled but still getting ORA-00439

    Hello,
    I'm facing a weird situation. I'm trying to import some partitioned tables on an instance, and it fails with the following error:
    IMP-00003: ORACLE error 439 encountered
    ORA-00439: feature not enabled: Partitioning
    However when I check v$option it seems to be available:
    Partitioning   TRUE
    I'm using Oracle Enterprise server 10.2.0.3 64bit on Linux RedHat 4.5 x86_64
    Anyone can help me?
    Regards, and thanks in advance.

    Thanks all for your responses. Eventually, I reinstalled Oracle software and everything went fine then.
    What I do not come to understand is why v$option reported Partitioning as enabled when it really was not...
    Once again , thanks a lot.

  • Got ORA-00439:  feature not enabled: Fine-grained access control

    Trying to implement VPD, I've got ORA-00439 when implementing Fine-grained access control. Will this be available on XE?

    Hi,
    lewisc: Yes. I mean "persistent package variables" and I know this feature is available in any version of Oracle. But, I don't know how It works whith HTMLDB when using "HTMLDB Authentication Scheme".
    i.e.: when I connect to an HTMLDB Application, I can see a new session on
    V$SESSION with username=ANONYMOUS with SID=xxx and SERIAL#=yyyy.
    1.-Will HTMLDB use the same session until User Press "logout" link?
    2.-Will this particular Database session be exclusive or shared for any HTMLDB sessions?
    3.-If I Logout from HTMLDB App, then Login again, Will HTMLDB reuse the same session?
    or will create a new one?
    -About VPD.
    VPD is a Personal Edition feature too. All features of EE is
    available on Personal Edition except RAC and a few others
    specials features.
    After all:
    Maybe with these examples you can see my question.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW myviewname
    AS
    SELECT *
    FROM mytablename
    WHERE somecolumn = V('Fxxx_HTMLDB_ITEM_NAME')
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER mytriggername
    BEFORE
    INSERT
    ON mytablename
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    :new.mycolumn1 := V('Fxxx_HTMLDB_ITEM_NAME');
    END;
    Can these two examples work? If so, maybe there is something wrong in my applications.
    Thanks GaryM for your issues and I already know this can be done that way

  • Hi plz help me out Ora-2097,ora-00439 error

    hi plz help me out .i'm getting this error in alert log file
    ora-2097 :parameter cannot be modified because specified valued is invalid
    ora-00439: feature not enabled: database resource manager

    Do you know what parameter may have changed?
    The error indicates something about the database resource manager so that may be a clue.
    If you have a backup of the init.ora file now would be the time to pull it out.
    If you really get stuck comment out all parameters except what you think you really need and then add them in one by one until you find the culprit.
