ORA-01990

Hi,
when starting my DB (8.1.7 on Win 2003 server) I have :
SQL> connect sys/****@myDB as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 401778716 bytes

ORA-01990: error opening password file 'C:\oracle\ora81\DATABASE\PWDmyDB.ORA'
But I issue :
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.
SQL> select status from v$instance;
STATUS

SQL> show parameter remote_log
NAME TYPE VALUE
remote_login_passwordfile string EXCLUSIVE
What is wrong with my DB ? How can I startup directly ?
Many thanks.

HI,
Well there can be two solutions.
1) Create a password file which Oracle is looking for using ORAPWD utility.This will make the database come up smoothly.
2)In case you are not going to use any remote connetions of sys user, make the parameter remote_login_passwordfile=none.This will suppress the use of password file at all.

Ora-01990 error in opening the password file

Hi,
I created a password file by using orapwd utility. Then later on I modified the remote_login_passwordfile in the spfile by giving the command:
sql> alter system set remote_login_passwordfile=exclusive
scope=spfile.
Then it is altered. Later on I shutdown the database and When I was trying to connect to the databse again, I am getting the following errors.
ORA-01990 error openeing the passowrd file.
ORA-27037 unable to obtain file status
linux error:2 no such file or directory.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I tried that also.It is giving ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile specified at startup.
First Manually I deleted the password file and I set the remote_login_passwordfile=none in the parameter file and again I started the instance just by giving
sql>startup open pfile='OraHome1/dbs/initRADHI.ora'
then I tried to modify the the Remote_Login_PASSWORDFILE thru alter system set command.then it is giving the above error. then I again shutdown the DB and again I started without specifying the parameter file or spfile just saying sql>startup. Then also it is not taking the SPFILE to startup. why is so? Then also same error I am getting?
ora-32001 write to spfile requested but no spfile at startup. can anyone of you help me.
Thanks,
Have a nice day.

Error creating a database on oracle9i

I have win2k server SP2 with 30 Gb and 1.7Gb RAM.
I installed oracle9i software Ok.
But when I create a database an error appears in dbca (read or write error), I tried first a general purpose database, after I tried a new database with less options but the same error appears.
I also tried create sql scripts and run manually de creation of the database, but it says that is not connected to oracle.
In a .trc file a found this text:

No schemas have been created.You should at least have the defaults schema SYS and SYSTEM, isn't it ?
Well, you can read the documentation about import :
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch02.htm#SUTIL002
Then comeback for further question.

Rollback segment is filling up during creation of the database

Hi
The Rollback segment is showing around 520mb immediately after
creation of the database after following the wizard provided in
the enterprise manager of oracle. What might be the reason. How
to reduce it. Could any one give me a solution for this matter.
Thanks in Advance.

My password file is /opt/ora9/product/9.2/dbs/orapwmydb
How can I use my orapwmydb file?

Hi Marco,
as far as I know, you have to use the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE = SHARED option in your init...ora file.
In this case you have one password file for one or more databases. It can only have the entries for SYS and INTERAL.
I'm sorry to cannot answer your question of having different password files for different databases %-)

OCS V2 on linux "CREATE CONTROLFILE failed"

Hello,
i'd like some help regarding OCS instalation on linux.
at first i tried to install OCS V2 on redhat 9.
added redhat-9 to "certified OSes", installer started, fixed issue with "-z defs", then hung on relinkink webcache ins_calypso.mk. (ignored) later running DBCA get message "ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed" (abort) "ORA-01990: error opening password file ..." (abort) "ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status" (abort) same error (ok) other tasks continues...
even tried OCS V1 singlebox version. the same problem.
later downloaded and instaled UnitedLinux 1.0.
some more issues about fully qualified hostname.
needed to set /proc/sys/kernel/hostname not only to hostname, but to hostname.domainname.
and the get the same error.
i cant find answers to my problems in OTN and Metalink.
please help.
Thanks.
Saulius Speicys

also followed suse recomendations for Oracle 9i R2 install on SLES8 (920_sles8_install.pdf).
updated kernel, downgraded gcc .
and got the same troubles.
at first with hostname, later with ins_sqlplus.mk, and then at dbca "CREATE CONTROLFILE failed".
can it be because of fqhostname "ocs.as.local" ?
or any naming of oracle home "/opt/oracle/product/iasdb" , instance name, or instance name "infra" / "ocs_infra" ?
i think i'm lost %(
thanks for any help.

Startup of a newly installed Database

Hi,
1. If I use startup command with no further clause to specify pfile location, I got error like this:
ora-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/opt/oracle/920/dbs/initMY_ORACLE.ora'
2. So then I followed the Administration Guide document to try specifying the pfile location. I found one in admin directory. So I entered:
startup pfile = /opt/oracle/admin/(DBNAME)/pfile/init(SIDNAME).ora.9202006221750
Then I see the instance was started, but followed by error:
ORA-01990: error opening password file ''/opt/oracle/920/dbs/orapw'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3
In the dbs dirctory there is a file called orapw(SIDNAME), but I cannot use Text Editor to open the file.
3. I then tried setting pfile = /opt/oracle/920/dbs/spfile(SIDNAME).ora, but got this error:
LRM-00123: invalid character 0 found in the input file
ORA-01078 failure in processing system parameters
4. I also tried setting pfile = /opt/oracle/920/dbs/init.ora and saw the instance was started, but still with error:
ORA-00205: error in identifying controlfile, check alert log for more info. So I went to check them in /opt/oracle/admin/(DBNAME)/bdump. There are two files: alert_MY_ORACLE.log and alert_(SIDNAME).log. The first one has the current info listing my startup actions 5 minutes ago. The second one lists the installation actions 3 days ago. I think this is strange because was the default SID name or the DBName during installation and I did changed it to my own (SIDNAME). I assume the most recent actions should be in alert_(SIDNAME).log, not alert_MY_ORACLE.log file.
So, what is wrong? Or what did I do wrong?
In the item 2 above, is it possile to change oracle's default path for the password file from '/opt/oracle/920/dbs/orapw' to '/opt/oracle/920/dbs/orapw'(SIDNAME)'?
For item 4, does the fact that Oracle write to alert_MY_ORACLE.log instead of alert_(SIDNAME).log mean somewhere in the system got the DBNAME or SID name confused? If so, how can I fix it?
Sorry for being so long ...

a). where do I find other commands such as"$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca" to launch the GUI
interfaces?
In $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.Sorry I wasn't specific or clear enough. I meant where I can find more info to learn similar commands to launch other GUI. In other words, if I can use $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca to open Configuration Assistant, what kind of documentation would list all such commands so that I can learn to launch other things such as Net Manager, etc. I know I will first read the Admin Guide doc you posted earlier.
b). what is $ORACLE_HOME variable defined? Is it alinux system variable. If so, is there another
example, such as calculator or any other programs?
Since I did set SID to a certain value other thanMY_ORACLE, it seems strange to me that the working
log file is still using MY_ORACLE in its file name.
The other log file that is named after the real SID
only has installation records.
Can you post me the exact steps that you used for
change of ORACLE_SID?When I installed the DB a couple of days ago, there was a screen that prompts me to enter Global Database Name and SID. Today, when I used your command $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbca to launch DB Configuration Assistant, I saw that window again, except this time (if memory is accurate) SID is defaulte to be the same as the Global DB Name. I guess the first time a DB was created?
When I am writing this the new DB is still under creation.
such as calculator or any other programs?If you are using some Windowmanager or command line?
If windowmanager then look at menu (Gnome and KDE
window managers has start menu similar to windows
GUI).
Executables are usually installed in /bin /usr/bin
and /usr/local/binThanks and I am puting it in the notes.
I did set them different during installation.AFAIK, DBNAME could be set only during DB creation.
According to message that you got I belive you didn't
create the database.I thought a DB was created during installation, although not anyone that I design. What is AFAIK?
Yep, it's in my bookmarks.If you will read it, you will find all answer that
you looking for...Shame on me to be a slow reader, or an anxious trier.

Oracle9iAS Infrastructure Install Prob

When I am installing 9iAS infrastructure I get an error on the Database Configuration Assistant. At 44% complete the DBCA gives an ORA-01503 cannot create control set error follwed by a ORA-01990 cannot open orapw. These are follwed by a other errors. I am installing on RH 8.0. Does anyone have any suggestions.

I have the same effect ( also RH 8.0). Before Database Configuration Assistant starts, you can use the orapw utility to create a password file yourself. Then the Database Configuration Assistant will continue. This will solve the Database Configuration Assistant problem, but you will face other errors with the Oracle internet directory config assistant and all stuff that depends on OID. I was not able to solve these.

Ashleigh

Hello Ashleigh,
Based on your code, I'd start by running this piece of SQL via command-line (thru SQL Workshop, SQL*Plus, Toad, etc.), replacing &P3_SCHEMA_NAME. and &P3_DB_NAME. with values that are currently causing the routine to fail and see if it returns more than one row. I don't know your data, but DISTINCT and GROUP BY are typically used to return multiple (though grouped/summarized) rows. It appears to be the only statement that would cause the error your seeing (more than one row being returned into single variables).
select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from &P3_SCHEMA_NAME..ddl_log@&P3_DB_NAME.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM;I'm actually surprised that the code runs at all. I didn't think 'execute immediate' would know what to do with substitutions indicated as "&something." (I've typically seen that when substituting in dynamic HTML/Javascript code but maybe I'm learning something new). But since you already have vServer2 and vSchema2, I'd be more apt to code it as:
vStmt2 := 'select distinct DDH_DB_NM, max(DDH_SCHEMA_NR)keep(dense_rank last order by ddh_runstart_td) AS "PATCH" from ' ||
vSchema2 || '.ddl_log@' || vServer2 || '.db_link GROUP BY DDH_DB_NM';Hope this helps,
John

ORA-01000:     maximum open cursors exceeded
Cause:     A host language program attempted to open too many cursors. The initialization parameter OPEN_CURSORS determines the maximum number of cursors per user.
Action:     Modify the program to use fewer cursors. If this error occurs often, shut down Oracle, increase the value of OPEN_CURSORS, and then restart Oracle.
