Hi,
what is the result of the below query you are getting .. ??
SQL> SELECT grantee, count(*)
2 FROM (SELECT grantee, granted_role
3 FROM dba_role_privs
4 CONNECT BY PRIOR grantee = granted_role)
5 GROUP BY grantee
6 HAVING count(*) = (SELECT max(count(*))
FROM (SELECT grantee, granted_role
7 8 FROM dba_role_privs
9 CONNECT BY PRIOR grantee=granted_role)
10 GROUP BY grantee);
Increasing max_enabled_roles will not help.
The max limit is 148 per the Oracle documentation. If you go through the
documentation carefully this parameter is defined as "the maximum number of database roles that users can enable, including roles contained within other roles"
Try to check or re-modify the structures (role),whether user needs max opf 148 roles in order to function properly or not.
Note :-
For your reference if you want to modify the parametes values ,
using ALTER SYETEM SET max_enabled_roles=<some value> scope = memory or spfile. (Based on the your db, which parameter it might be using.
