ORA-12540

I downloaded 9i personal to use for class this semester. I have XP professional and the download was flawless. However I use scott/tiger to log on or the one I created when I setup and I get the following error:
ORA-12540
TNS: Internal limit restriction exceeded.
I need to know what I have done wrong or can do to fix. I would appreciate any assistance as the labs at the college stay full and I would rather work on it from home.

Could you please post your connect string ur using ?
Use the following connect string to connect.

ORA-12540 running DBCA

Hello all,
I have just installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0. During the install, and now when I try to run DBCA, I get an error:
ORA-12540: TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded
It happens during the "Creating and starting Oracle instance" phase. (So "Copying database files" and "Initializing database" are completed. For what it's worth, the progress meter is at 46% when the error occurs.)
Does anyone have any idea why this would be occuring? I'm running Windows XP Professional.
Thanks you,
Owen Gibbins

There could be a few issues:
It is very likely that your system has run out of memory at that memory and that the listener is either unable to spawn a new process or shutdown and needed by the newly created instance once the bootstrap segment is set. I encourage you to:
- You may need to increase your process parameter (main reason).
- You many need to increase your virtual memory settings.
- Check the files on your tnsadmin directory, and verify their accuracy and uniquess in the TNS_ADMIN directory.
If your installation completed, in spite of no database created, you can patch by restarting with the DBCA database creation and setting process to a reasonable larger value. I believe that -if you have the minimum resources 300 is reasonable.
If you would like to do a full clean install and rather uninstall, then:
- Perform a clean uninstall by removing files from Oracle Home, and all Oracle directories.
Sometimes a clean install means to reinstalling Windows. However, if do not have a previous home, and know to clean your registry from classes, and other Oracle values and entries in your registry do so. Do not forget to delete your Oracle inventory, which is typically set in your C (OS) drive.
There are other reasons why this error can occur, but setting processes accordingly is your best choice. If your environment is planned for a shared server, setting the appropriate parameters that somehow interdepend with processes, such as dispatchers. Setting processes will autoset SESSIONS and CIRCUITS. Also if using a shared server, formerly MTS, do not try to configure any advanced features or set up any specific dispatcher tuning at install/db creation.
Good luck with your overall progress.

ORA-12540 TNS Internal Limit REstriction Exceeded

I was trying to install personal 9i on my Dell running XP. The install goes fine until it gets to creating the database and then I get ORA-12540 TNS: Internal Limit Restriction Exceeded. What am I doing wrong?

oerr ora 12540
12540, 00000, "TNS:internal limit restriction exceeded"
// *Cause: Too many TNS connections open simultaneously.
// *Action: Wait for connections to close and re-try.
How many TNS connections you are having on your box?

Dear All,
I have program which use threading and it opens 3 threads each one will connect to the database, after few minutes from the running the program, i got the error ORA-12540. im using Sun solaris with Oracle DB 10g.
i read document No. 61318.1 in metalink, and they advice to raise processes (currently 59) parameter in init.ora file. but when execuete show parameter processes it return 500.
my question is there any relation between processes in init.ora and the value which i got from how parameter processes.??
and do i really need to raise up the processes value in init.ora file.
thanks in advance.

Hello,
There are 3 parameters in init.ora you need to take care.
1.processes
2.sessions
3.transactions.
you should see messages in alert.log and definitely error or in some cases listener shutdown.
General formula to set above 3 parameters
1. processes=100
2. sessions =processes*1.1+5
3.transactions=sessions*1.1
"processes" parameter corresponds to processes spawned in unix , so if you run out of configured limit you will see above error and new connections won't be allowed unless you free some old connections or increase the limit.
Regards

I cant connect from client as well as from the server. No error at the alert file . But my tnsnames log file show this error
Please give suggessions to trace where the problem is

32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error

What version of Oracle on what platform?
On UNIX one possible cause of the ORA-12540 error is having too low of a value for open files and another cause is having the OS parameter value for MAXUPROC set too low.
You appear to be on Windows based on "32-bit Windows Error: 8: Exec format error" so I suggest ckecking the installation manual for any required Windows privileges and settings and making sure these values were set as recommended. You might have too heavy a load with too large a memory demand for a 32 bit server to handle based on the following thread:

OVM 3.0.x Error documentation?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any OVM-related errors documentations that I could use. With Oracle database products, I can quickly diagnose errors by using the oerr tool:
eg. oerr ora 12540 for an ORA-12540 error...
However, even just a document explaining the most common OVM- OVMRU_ etc error types would be most helpful, instead of having to search for each error individually.
Thanks in advance,
T.

Wait for some time. Sometimes the VM Manager takes some time to do actions if you are doing too many actions through VM Manager. If after 5-10 mins of deleting the VM is not deleted, try the following:
- logout and login to VM Manager and try again
If that does not work reset the VM and after it is reset to original status, try deleting it.
If you have any probs, check the Vm logs in VM Manager.
Regards
CP

Installing Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition

1) While installing Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition on Windows XP Professional I got "ORA-12540:TNS: Internal Restriction Limited Exceeded" error. What should I do now? Please donot direct me to the metalink.
2) Does someone has a list of Registry variables that need to be cleaned up if I want to completely remove Oracle and start over again.

What do you want to learn : Administration or Development ?

IFS on Solaris 2.7

Hello -
Has anyone installed iFS on Solaris 2.7?
Does it work?
Did you have to apply any Solaris patches first?
Are you running in 64 or 32 bit mode?
Many thanks.
- Lian.

For Alan at Oracle,
The question from Varun on May12 indicated
he put the database on NT and IFS on Solaris 2.7. Why didn't you tell him that it only
is certified under 2.6?
Anyway, I tried to install it on a clean 2.7
system (all latest patches), with 8.1.6 (v2).
I have two problems:
1) the text size in the java installer is so
large I cannot see the items in the Tools to
be configured area.
2) when I ran the installer, and was in the
tool configuration section, it crashed with
this message:

Thanks for comming back.
while this issue happens login to db directly even as sysdba takes a while and could not even view listener status. I tried to kill some of the processes base on below cmd.
ps -eaf|grep LOCAL
then I am able to connect to db , also Listener responds.
i also noticed queuesize was set on listener.ora and removed it , and set the trace levels to 10.
Listener has been restarted now. Seems stable at the min.
But i am not sure if the actuall issue has been resolved or not.
I also checked the resource limit

Hello Satadal,
The error is due to Oracle the reasons could be:
1. Number of open connection that Oracle Net can process simultaneously
2. Number of memory buffers which can be used simultaneously
3.Number of processes a particular database instance is allowed
In case of 1 and 2 its a harware bottle neck
In case of the 3rd point the number of process that the OraTNSlistener can listen to can be increased in the Initsid.ora file (but since this is for SAP i would suggest init<DBSID>.ora file.
But either ways check the logs files sqlnet.log or listener.log
for details of the error.
In most cases waiting for the open connections to close and then trying BRCONNECT should do it.

Prashant

I have experienced same problem in Windows 2000 advanced server when using Oracle Database Configuration Asistant. While creating database, select New Database and save creation scripts. From command prompt, edit script batch file.Replace null with oradim. It takes time, but you can create database.

ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [hshuid:LU invalid]

DBA refreshed database B from database A (both 64-bit). Database C (also 64-bit) had a link to database B. DBA claims to have rebuilt the link from C to B, but queries now result in:
SQL> select housing_pkg.f_housing_dep_amt@btest(12540, '200808', 'HEA');

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [hshuid:LU invalid]
Can anyone provide some insight into what the error message is saying?

Hi,
Most the error is due to the 32 bit datafiles being running on a 64 bit version of oracle.
Running utlirp.sql (this is going to invalidate most and then recompiles them again )
I suppose..that is the problem with your DB.

Sorry if this is confusing, i have tried to explain it as best as i can.
Thanks in advance for any help.

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-00604 error and ora 01000 error while report generation.

hi all,
I am trying to generate the multiple reports of same template through a program.
While this job is running, i get the following error at the BIP console and the reports don't get generated.
[101711_044115578][][EXCEPTION] java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred
at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Lots of resources with a simple search to see what this is about, for example:
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORA-01000
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.
open_cursors parameter
