ORA-01031 Error When starting Database

I have installed Oracle 11gr2 on my laptop having OS ubuntu 10.04, after installation i am receiving ORA-01031 error when try to log in with the command
sqlplus / as sysdba what should i do to resolve it...

Hi,
there are a lot of possibilities why this can be wrong. Look at Oracle Support for note 233223.1, "Checklist for Resolving CONNECT AS SYSDBA (INTERNAL) Issues". This gives links to notes which leads you to maybe the solution.
Possibilities are:
- you are root, which is not allowed. You should connect with the oracle user
- your user is not part of the dba group
- permissions on files
- and many more

Ora-01031 error while starting oracle9i server on linux advanced redhat 3.1

I am encountering some errors while trying to start the oracle9i database on linux server.
I am getting the error ora-01031 while trying to connect to the server as sysdba.
I give the following commands
sqlplus /nolog
Sql> conn sys/xxxx as sysdba
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
The listener service is started. The user "oracle" belongs to the groups oinstall and dba on linux.
When I try to connect to the sys account through enterprise manager console, it connects.
But when I try to start the database it says
ERROR:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
I am trying to solve this problem since the past two days but to no avail.
The last time the database was used it was not shutdown properly (we had rebooted the linux server through command prompt).
Might be this has caused some problem.
I would be very grateful to you if you could spare some time and look into this problem.

Listen Sheikh Abdullah, if u don't need remote access to that server over secure conn., don't use password file authentification but change REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to NONE and when u conn thru OEM as sysdba try to change his pass and then try conn thru command promt(CP) usin that new pass.
Or recreate pass file adding new pass in it, set REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to exclusive or shared and conn thru CP using password file pass.
Try this possible solutions in order u wish.

"Insufficient privileges"-error when starting database when on network

Hi
I have an Oracle 9.2.0.5 database installed on my laptop (Windows 2000 Prof), but I have a small problem.
When I'm plugged in to the company's network, I can start the database normally.
However, when I'm not connected to the company network, i.e. only logged in locally on my laptop, then I get an ORA-01031 Insufficient Privileges error when I start the database. Therefor, I can't do anything.
When I'm plugged into the company network, start the database, and then unplug my laptop, I can still connect to the database. So I guess it checks some userrights only when it starts the database.
I checked the user account settings, and my user is a local administrator, and is in the ORA_DBA usergroup.
Does someone know which setting I have to change?

You can install MS Loopback Adapter on your system and assign an IP Address to the loopback adapter. You should then be able to work even when not connected to the network.

Use a 'Try and Error' strategy, remove the manual channel allocations from the script, these are not mandatory. Let RMAN automatically allocate channels.

ORA-01005 error when starting OBIEE

Hi All,
I am having error ORA-01005 when I try to start OBIEE (bi_server1) from WLST. However this server was working fine an hour ago and I don't know how, but the schema DEV_BIPLATFORM returns the following error when I query as SYSTEM.

Does someone knows how can I recreate the password for this schema ?
Thanks in advance

I've found the issue. THe archive area from databse server has reached 100%. After it was cleaned up the services started without any error.

HI
1) can you post OS version?
2) antivirus/firewall enabled
3)Increase the depleted swap/memory or other resource which is logged in the OS log file
Have sufficient physical memory on Server so that you can allocate more SGA/PGA to the database.
4) Increase SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET so that you can accommodate following pools.
5) Restart the instance.
6) Increase INIT.ORA memory parameters and make sure following pools are set to recommended value i.e. 200M.
7) SHARED_POOL_SIZE
8) JAVA_POOL_SIZE
9) STREAMS_POOL_SIZE
there is no swap to grow stack.

Hi,
ORA-01190: control file or data file string is from before the last RESETLOGS
Cause: Attempting to use a data file when the log reset information in the file does not match the control file. Either the data file or the control file is a backup that was made before the most recent ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS.
Action: Restore file from a more recent backup.
In fact, if I'm not wrong, when you tried to open the database with "resetlogs" clause, it seems that the information kept in this control file points to datafiles checkpoints information that are older than the most recent resetlogs currently recorded in this control file. Have you tryied issue a recover database using backup controlfile?
Cheers

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error (when starting database)

Hi.. everyone.
I am testing oracle9i and oracle10g on the same machine, windows xp pro.
When I was trying to start oracle10g using command line mode,
I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
I entered these command.
set oracle_home=10g_homexxxx
set oracle_sid=xxdb
sqlplus /nolog
conn sys/xxx as sysdba
I got the error, TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error.
The install of two different versions of oracle , oracle9i and oracle10g,
on the same machine(windows xp pro) could cause this problem?
Is it safe to install two different versions of oracle on the same window machine?
Is there any confliction in environment variables?
I think there is no problem on the linux, unix system.
I stoped the listener of oracle9i and tried again. But I failed.
I am looking forwared to hearing your experience and advice.
Thanks in advance. Have a good day.
Ho.

Dear Werner.
Thanks for your reply.
I shutdown oracle9i and 10g, using "services.msc" utility from windows.
Therefore, "OracleService<xxdd>" is not running.
What I want to do is to startup 10g database using "cmd",command line mode.
In addition, I would like to know why I could not start 10g database, using "cmd"
on windows xp pro.
I installed 9i first and installed 10g. I think there are a kind of environment variable
conflictions.
I am wondering how I can fix them, and whether or not they are curable.
Thanks for your reply. Have a good day.
Regards.
Ho.

ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 error when restoring database by RMAN in 11.1.0.6.0

I have a new installed database running in ARCIHVELOG mode on SUSE 10SP3. Catalog is not used. When I try to restore the database from a level 0 backup based on SCN, ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 were raised out today. Please help me through this. Thx. The senario follows:
1. I got the current SCN by "select dbms_flashback.get_system_change_number from dual". Say it's 12345;
2. I did a level 0 hot backup with current control file, archived logs and parameter files. Everything went well;
3. Some other DMLs are applied to the database;
4. I want to do a SCN-based incomplete recovery for this database to SCN 12345. Then I
1) shutdown immediate;
2) startup nomount;
3) restore the control file from backupset;
5) startup mount;
6) catalog start with "[backupset path]";
7) restore database until scn 12345.
Just at step 4.7, ORA-01180 and ORA-01110 were raised out, saying cannot create data file 1. Note: Backup files are existing and file permissions are all OK.
Then I issues "list incarnation of database". There is just one record with incarnation id 1.
So I queried v$log_history, found serveral record there. The most recent one has NEXT_SCN later than 12345, say 12400. Then I tried to restore database until this SCN. It WORKED! The restore and recovery succeeded.
My questions are:
1. Why cannot I restore the database to a previous SCN, say 12345, but 12400 is OK?.
2. If the database was RESETLOG prior to my recovery, should I reset database to the incarnation where I took my backup? What can I do if there is no that incarnation information in my control file?
Waiting for your suggestion.

Hi guys. There is one update.
This issue is caused by the incorrect SCN vs. backup set. I got this SCN before the backup started. According to Oracle docs, it's not allowed for an SCN based recovery.
Now, I changed the sequence of my operations, so that SCN is got once backup is done, which is exact the "most recent sequence# and least SCN" mentioned by some thread in this forum. It works now.
Anyone could explain why the SCN got prior to the level 0 backup is not recognized by restore/recovery phase? Thanks.

End-of-file on communication channel error when starting database

Hi All,
I have small problem, when we specify at startup without any pfile, it will go to read spfile,in our case it gives error end-of-file on communication channel.
Can anyone please help me to resolve this issue?
Thank you
Chirag

Oracle unable to spawn job slave processes should not prevent the instance from starting - these are not critical system processes and the instance can function without them (as it can when the job queue is set to zero processes).
The o/s failure message also does not make much sense.. overlapped I/O is Microsoft Windows term for async I/O. This can be used at file I/O level, but is also supported for any other file handle like sockets - thus applicable at the network layer too.
I'm a bit confused to how a PFILE versus a SPFILE startup can cause this. If that is the case, then surely there are something different ito init instance settings that triggers this error?
Can you copy and paste the actual SQL*Plus session (as already requested). Show us startup command (and params) used in SQL*Plus and the resulting messages (and errors displayed) in response to the startup.

Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer

Hi Everyone,
I get the Ora 12154 error when trying to add a database to VS Server Explorer.
How do I get around this problem.
The database service is running and I can connect to the database with pl/sql.
I can also tnsping the database and that is also ok.
Looks like a problem with the odp.net software.
I am running the 32 bit Oracle 11g on a Windows7 Home Premium 64 bit PC.
I am new to this stuff so please help me step by step.
Thanks.

Hi J. B.
I have a question related to this. After you told me about the //host:1521/database alias I tried it in a VB 2008 program and it worked and returned data. At least I know that it can be used in a VB program without issues. I just now need to be able to add a connection with the Server Explorer.
Anyway here is the VB coding I used. I'm new to this and still learning:
Imports Oracle.DataAccess.Client ' Visual Basic ODP.NET Oracle managed provider
Public Class Form1
' String to connect to the database.
Dim strConnectionString As String = _
"Data Source=//emad-pc:1521/emadeva;User ID=scott;Password=tiger;" '
' Associate the connection string with a connection object.
Dim objOracleConnection As New OracleConnection(strConnectionString)
' SQL query for returning data rows.
Dim strSqlQuery As String = _
"Select dname, deptno " & _
"From dept " & _
"Where deptno = 10" '
' Command object to make this query work.
Dim objOracleCommand As New OracleCommand(strSqlQuery, objOracleConnection)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' Identify what type of command is being used.
objOracleCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
Try
objOracleConnection.Open()
' Set up a Data Reader and load it with data.
Dim objOracleDataReader As OracleDataReader = _
objOracleCommand.ExecuteReader()
objOracleDataReader.Read()
' Convert the department number to a string.
lblDepartmentNumberFromOracle.Text = _
CStr(objOracleDataReader.Item("deptno"))
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error")
End Try
End Sub
End Class
I still want to thank you for the help you are providing.
Truly,
Emad

im was completely enervated by a simple error for which im hanging out for plenty of hours. kindly advice me what to do to eradicate it.
i have a Redhat Linux AS 4 server and 9.2.0.4 database version.
The problem is, when im trying to connect database as sysdba with netservice name, i.e using remote authentication method, i was thrown ora-01031 error: insufficient priviliges. But when i tend to connect it locally using OS authentication method it permits me to do it.
for example,
Sql> connect sys@<sid> as sysdba
Enter password:
ERROR: insufficient priviliges
where as,
Sql>conn sys as sysdba
connected
sql>
i've configured oracle in Linux environment as per the documentation. i can't figure out the exact problem. the sqlnet.ora file contains SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=none
kindly tell me where im missing out?
Thanks
SM

yes. i've Password file in its appropirate location,
which is named as orapw$ORACLE_SID
and the parameter, remote_login_passwordfile is set
as EXCLUSIVE.This should be fine.
Try
- select * from v$pwfile_users; to check whether oracle sees the password file
- recreate the password file, if possible (it can get corrupted sometimes)
- delete sqlnet.ora to go with the defaults (of course, backup it first)
- check whether you can connect as usual user using the net service name (and check whether you connect to the proper database, just to be sure)
- try to connect from a different machine
- check that TWO_TASK and TNS_ADMIN environment variables are not set.

ORA-01031 error...need enter password prompt

Hi.
I'm creating a form which kills a session, using this command:
Forms_DDL('ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION'|| :v_$session.sid|| ',' ||:v_$session.serial# );
in my when-button-pressed trigger. But I get ora-01031 error insufficient privileges. So I'd like to prompt the user to enter his password when he tries to kill a session, because only the administrator should be able to kill a session. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kristine:
First I would ask you why can't they just use the normal logon to establish their access level?
Then, let me say there is no way to just popup the logon screen in forms, however, it is relatively simple to create a signon screen. Just create a dialog popup with two fields for username and password, and a button with a label maybe "Signon". Then in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED associated with Signon button, you use the code like following. Please test it and modify as needed, because I do not have a database to test it with. Note I use ... as needed to indent because the forum strips leading spaces.
DECLARE
..V_CONNECT_STRING VARCHAR2(100) :=
..........GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(CONNECT_STRING);
BEGIN
..LOGOUT;
..LOGON(:B1.UN, :B1.PW ||'@'|| V_CONNECT_STRING, 'TRUE');
..EXIT_FORM;
END;
Hope this helps,
Thomas

Error when starting parser: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL:'TfSAPCMRC'

Hello experts.
When I try to preview or refresh a Crystal Report document built on a BEx query I get the following error msg:
Database connector error: BAPI Error #0. Error when starting parser: timeout during allocate / CPIC-CALL: 'TfSAPCMRCV'.
We have done as suggested in "SAP Note 1032461 - MDX parser does not start", but without success.
This is what we've tried so far:
replaced the file "librfc32.dll" (in C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64) with the new version mentioned in Note 413708.
tested the connection in SM59 - non successful
tested the report query with transaction MDXTEST - non successful
tried to start the mdxparser manually on server - non succesful, error msg: "The application failed to initialise.."
We have the following config:
MS server 2003 SP2 x64 ed.
SAP logon 7.20
MS SQL server 2005
CR 2008
new librfc32.dll version 7200.1.39.6461
Any ideas on what to try next would be highly appreciated!
Cheers, IngA

Hi Ingo.
We have only one application server.
I registered the new version of the file C:\windows\SysWOW64\librfc32.dll with regsvr32.exe successfully. I've also tried to copy the new file to the same directory as the mdxsvr.exe-file is located, but it made no difference.
Should I remove all other copies of librfc32.dll and only keep the one in folder C:\Windows\SysWOW64, or maybe register them all with regsvr32.exe?

Error when starting configtool.

The installation is successful. But I am getting the following error when starting configtool:
PerfTimes : loadNativeLayer: loading jperflib failed. no jperflib in java.library.path
com.sap.engine.frame.core.configuration.ConfigurationException: Error while conn
ecting to DB.
This is not during the installation as given in some of the other posts. The installation is successful and I am able to start and run the J2EE engine and the Portal. This error occurs when I try to start the config tool.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Arul,
Have you checked the parameters that the configtool is using to connect? (don't use default settings)
What database is this on? In the case that it is oracle can you TNS ping the db? The listener is running?
Regards
Daniel
