Ora-0059: max no.of db_files exceeded

hi.
my db is in archivelog mode(24x7).
i tried to add data file to my tablespace
i got the following error
ora-oo59: max no of db_files exceeded.
plz tel me step by step how to change the db_files parameter
in what state
when i have to take backup of control file
then again how i have to open the database.
my current db_files value is 400 .
i need atleast 600.
thanks and regards
suresh

DB_FILES is a static parameter, and cannot be change online. Restarting the db is required.<br>
alter system set db_files=600 scope=spfile;
shutdown immediate
startup<br>

Cloning problem: ORA-00059: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to clone our data warehouse over an existing test instance, DMART01. Here's what I did:
1. on the data warehouse - alter database backup controlfile to trace;
2. edited the trace file to change the db name and path of the datafiles
3. logon to sqlplus in DMART01 and run my altered trace file.
4. Below is the error I'm getting:

Additional information - the data warehouse has an entire tablespace with many datafiles that I don't want in DMART01. I edited those datafile lines out of my trace file. Could some remnants of that be causing my problems? The DB_FILES parameter in the warehouse is set to 500. In DMART01 it's only 200. In the clone, I only want to bring over 61 datafiles. Besides, I thought that in the create controlfile statement would set the parameter, in this case to 500.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Sharon

I answered my own question. If anyone is curious, here's what I did:
in DMART01
1. startup nomount;
2. create pfile from spfile;
3. shutdown immediate;
4. edited pfile to have dw_files=500
5. startup nomount pfile=initDMART01.ora;
6. create spfile from pfile;
7. shutdown immediate;

Install HRCS9.0 and PT8.53 with Linux Issue: the files intiPT853.ora and initHRCS90.ora: maximum number of DB_FILES exceeded

Folks,
Hello. I have installed PeopleTools 8.53 with Oracle Linux 5.10 successfully. The entire PeopleTools runs correctly in browser at the beginning.
After I set up HCM and Campus Solution 9.0 Database Instance named HRCS90 in Linux successfully, PeopleTools 8.53 Database Instance PT853 cannot be mounted. Its error message is below:

But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted. I change the value of db_files from 1021 to 1500 in the file initPT853.ora and restart OS Linux. But get the same error as below:

As we see above, the instance HRCS90 works corretly and PT853 cannot start up. The parameter DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora has an issue.
My question is:
Because 1021 and 1500 are not enough to startup instance PT853, what value should be used for DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora ?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what does "Instance" mean here.
>In the file /home/user/OracleDB_Home/dbs/initPT853.ora, its parameter db_files has 3 values: small 400, medium 1021 and large 1500.
Are you not using a spfile ? Does the file contain really the 3 values ? What is the last ? Have you checked the value in the database side "show parameter db_files" ?
>But after set up another instance HRCS90, the above error message comes up and instance PT853 cannot mounted
Again, I have no idea what it means.

Again, 3 values ? What is the last ? Have you checked the value in the database side "show parameter db_files" ?
>As we see above, the instance HRCS90 works corretly and PT853 cannot start up. The parameter DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora has an issue.
Again, I don't understand what are HRCS90 and PT853 exactly. Cannot help.
>Because 1021 and 1500 are not enough to startup instance PT853, what value should be used for DB_FILES of the file initPT853.ora ?
I'm sure, you don't have an issue with this parameter, 1500 files in the database is quite huge number. I built a demo recently, the default value 1021 was ok for me. You should have done something wrong somewhere.

Hyperion Financial Reports Studio Error. Max No of connections exceeded.

I have encountered an error in FR Studio, it says Max No of Connections Exceeded.
It occured twice in this month, everytime it happens we need to restart Reporting and Analysis Framework. Can someone suggest where can I increase the max no of connections allowed?

Ok...My bad..
You will have tun serviceconfig.sh under Hyperion_Home\products\Foundation\workspace\bin to bring up GUI,then From the menu available you will see Remote service configurator,select that and provide the credentials.After you login,there should RM1 and SB1.You will have to go o properties of RM1 and SB1 and then increase the connection.Restart is required for this to take affect.
Let me know

Max number of items exceeded?

I am trying to develop a questionaire like application. Most of the logic is stored inside pl/sql functions (that is retrieving the previous or next question with possible answers and answer-types, like, eg. radiogroup, select-list, textarea, ...) while all of the questions and respective possible answers are kept inside a collection. In processing the answers after submit I store given answers inside the same collection, basically by nullifying all possibly previously given answers for the current question and then looping through eg, g_f01.count to refill. The entire application remains on the same page, showing eg., in one 'frame', one or two questions with say 7 checkboxes and two textareas.
Everything seems to work fine, I can go forward and backward and will find new questions or ones that already have been answerd, but!!...
after the 50st item (answer), that is after I reached the 50st radiogroup, checkbox or textarea, new checkboxes or radiogroups even though shown the resulting values will not be stored inside the collection anymore.
generating the page i use:
htp.prn(apex_item.radiogroup(p_idx => 1, p_value => c2.a_id, p_selected_value => c2.qa_id, p_attributes => 'id="P2_QUEST_' || i || '"'));
and in processing correspondingly ...
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
FOR c2 IN
(SELECT seq_id,
c001 q_id,
c002 a_id,
c012 qa_id
FROM apex_collections
WHERE c001 = to_char(p_q_id)
AND collection_name = 'ANSWERS'
AND c002 = apex_application.g_f01(i))
LOOP
apex_collection.update_member_attribute(p_collection_name =>
'ANSWERS', p_seq => c2.seq_id, p_attr_number => '12',
p_attr_value => c2.a_id);
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
to me I only use f01 ... f04 say, ... Is it possible that I still hit the max of 50 page-items?

No, its R3 Production server. Internal RFC for one of the app server is giving this error.
When I tried to set the following parameters in the instance profile of the same I again got the same error while saving the profile.
Can I make the changes in instance profile of app server at OS level?

ORA-31044: Top-level prefix length exceeds maximum

Hi,
I am trying to migrate the cube and associated view created by view generator from one environment to another environment.
The cube is migraed through XML and it is working.
But when we compile the view created in one environment in the target environemn after cube migration we get and error as - "ORA-31044: Top-level prefix length exceeds maximum".
What is the resolution for this?
Regards,
Gurudatta

Not sure what is happening between production and development environments, if it worked in dev it should work in production assuming no other changes were made to the data model. Data volumes should not be an issue. When you are testing the view are you using a WHERE clause to limit the number of rows returned? Try just returning the top level for each dimension, the 'All' dimension member as this will return just one row (or one row for each year if you have a time dimension with year as the top level).

Regards,You must know that its really important to mention your db version and other details so that we can answer in a more proper manner. Since you haven't mentioned your db size and block size so here is a generic reply. If you are using 8kb Blocksize,you should be able to go till 32gb of one file(8192*4194303/1024/1024=>32G). So your solution would be to either go for a different file or use Big File(if you are on 10g and above) .

ORA-01144: File size (4194304 blocks) exceeds maximum of 4194303 blocks

Hello all,
Wen i try to add new datafile(32GB) to tablespace i found the below error. I have space available in my disk, why i am not able to add new datafile to tablespace?
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01144: File size (4194304 blocks) exceeds maximum of 4194303 blocks
here is my db_block_size information:

How can i add new datafile with out any issues.
Regards,
RHK

Thanks,
I minimise the size, now i am able to add new datafile.
From long time back i am getting below error,
ORA-1653: unable to extend table PQB_ADMIN.RPT_TR by 128 in tablespace USERS
ORA-1653: unable to extend table PQB_ADMIN.RPT_TR by 8192 in tablespace USERS
to avoid this error i added new datafile. Now the data will sync automatically? (it may be nearly 2 months data)

Max. number of expressions exceeded

I have a simple SQL to select data from a single table with a
list of 1000 elements i.e. SELECT A FROM TABLE_A WHERE B IN (1,
2, 3, ..., 1000). It worked fine. If I added one more i.e.
WHERE B IN (1, 2, 3, ...., 1000, 1001), then I got error 1795 -
Max number of expressions exceeded 254. I thought this error
applies to the number of expressions. What I have was a list of
values in a single expression -> B IN (1, 2, ...).
I think the error message is misleading. If there is a limit of
1000 elements in the IN expression, the error message should say
so unlesss Oracle somehow formats the 1000 elements into 254
expressions behind the scene.
Any comments.
Thanks.

So, we stopped the OWF Mailer servcies and Agent Listeners.
Got a metalink note 152475.1 but confused to alter the table definition as I am of the view that these Oracle Workflow related tables are Oracle Built-in Objects not the custom one.
So, will it be ok to increase the Maxextents for this table?
