ORA-27047: unable to read the header block of file

My Windows 2003 crashed which was running Oracle XE.
I installed Oracle XE on Windows XP on another machine.
I coped my D:\oracle\XE10g\oradata folder of Win2003 to the same location in WinXP machine.
When I start the database in WinXP using SQLPLUS i get the following message
SQL> startup

Try to install win 2003 server software, do the fresh installation of oracle software, now copy the datafiles and controlfiles to same locations as you did on winxp.
get back to us, if still not out of the woods. I still doubt that a simple restore would do the trick, since you doing it across different platforms, might be I can be wrong, but this is what I personally feel, you not able to start the database on winxp.

    Hi Team,
    During our DB Reorg we have received the Oracle Alert - ORA-1652 Unable to extend the Temp Segment by 15485 in tablespace :PSAPBTABI.
    Our DBReorg got cancelled..
    We would like to know how we can resolve the above error so that we can reschedule the DB Reorg activity..
    Regds,
    Satyanarayana N

    Hi,
    If you are using UNIX OS, the temp files are created as sparse file due to the OS functionality.
    Altough you have assigned 49 GB the actual size will be very very less.
    You can check the actula file size with du or df command. To remove these sparse condition you will need to perform certain steps.
    Read this note and execute the steps given and then see the file size difference.
    548221 - Temporary Files are created as sparse files
    Do update the message if the OS is different.

    Because your database is standby database, so you can not use startup mount,

  • Ora-01466 unable to read data table definition has changed oracle.

    hi all,

    """ ora-01466 unable to read data table definition has changed oracle"""";
    how to get the deleted records from database????????????
    Edited by: 887268 on Oct 24, 2011 4:02 AM

    Error:  ORA 1466
    Text:   unable to read data -- object definition has changed
    Cause:  This is a time-based read consistency error for a database object,
            such as a table or index.
            Either of the following may have happened:
            The query was parsed and executed with a snapshot older than the time
            the object was changed.
            The creation time-stamp of the object is greater than the current
            system time.
            This happens, for example, when the system time is set to a time
            earlier than the creation time of the object.
    Action: If the cause is
            an old snapshot, then commit or rollback the transaction and resume
            work.
            a creation time-stamp in the future, ensure the system time is set
            correctly.
            If the object creation time-stamp is still greater than the system
            time, then export the object's data, drop the object, recreate the
            object so it has a new creation time-stamp, import the object's data,
            and resume work.

  • B2B RosettaNet incoming messages throws error "Unable to read the preamble"

    Hi,
    We have configured Oracle B2B to send Invoices to TP using Rosettanet V2.0.
    The incoming message are coming to B2B server via DMZ running apache HTTP server. We have security certificates installed on DMZ and has shared the public key with the TP.
    TP has shared public key which we have installed on SOA server keystore.
    We are able to see incoming messages in "Wire Message" tab, but the status is "processing". The SOA log file shows the error "Unable to read the preamble".
    Any suggestion on this really appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Adarsh

    The configuration that we have here is -
    Outbound
    SOA -> <Firewall> TP
    Inbound
    TP -> DMZ(SSL Enabled) -> FIREWALL -> SOA Server
    SOA server is SSL enabled too, but the communication between DMZ and SOA has been configured on HTTP (non SSL). We shared the public key of DMZ server with the TP.
    Here is the message that we are receiving from TP.

    You can not perform DDL and then perform a flashback query to before the DDL.
    One might wonder why you chose this particular time to perform an ALTER TABLE but you did. It is what it is.

  • Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension...

    I had previously installed the HP Color LaserJet 3600 driver from the install CD under Tiger. I recently did an archive and install of Leopard, then ran all the system updates. (Currently at 10.5.5)
    When I insert the 3600 CD, though, I get a bunch of jibberish (parts of images, etc.) and a MAC OS X directory. The installer inside that directory attempts to be opened with Script Editor, though, and gives an error: "Unable to read the dictionary of the application or extension because it is not scriptable." followed by "The document 'HP Color LaserJet v5.6.1.069' could not be opened."
    Previously this would launch the HP installation program that would install the driver. Now, it's like it's not a recognized program or something. I downloaded the driver from the HP website to try it that way (clj3600MacOSX.dmg) with the same result. The .dmg file opens a disk image with the "HP Color LaserJet v.5.6.1.069" file in it...same result. Cannot open.
    I know this program ran fine under Tiger...and a co-worker got it to run after doing an upgrade to Leopard (instead of archive and install.)
    When I downloaded the HP 4300 installer dmg, it launches a .mpkg file and Get Info says it's set to open with "Installer (default)". The 3600 file, though is set to open with "Script Editor (default)". I've looked to set it to Installer, but don't know where it is...it's not in Applications or Utilities folder.
    I then right clicked on the installer file and selected "Show Package Contents". In the window that was displayed, there was a Contents folder. Inside that folder was a file called "HP Color LaserJet v5.6" with no file extension (Get Info doesn't show an extension either,) but it has a VISE logo. Opening that file launches the VISE installer and performs the setup.
    So, by jumping through hoops and getting lucky, I was able to install the driver.
    The bigger issue, though, is why the installation CD and/or .dmg file downloaded from HP's website cannot run the installer as usual...why are they set to open with Script Editor as the default application...and how can I fix it so that other disks won't have the same problem?
    [I originally posted this in the Printers forum, but it appears it's not a printing problem...it's an OS problem...]

    Installer.app is in /System/Library/CoreServices/

  • "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"

    Hello everyone!
    We had a computer crash while we were working on Final Cut Pro and backing up some media to a hard drive.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
    We reinstalled the Final Cut Pro software all over again thinking that maybe the software got corrupted and we also rectified any disk permissions for the hard drives.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    You eventually want to figure out how that happened and make sure you fix it.
    Since then, whenever we "capture' video footage and hit the escape key to stop capturing - we get -
    "Error: Final Cut Pro was unable to read the movie file just captured"
    <
    You reformatted the external drive, yes? You might not have used the correct initialization setting. Should be Macintosh HFS, journalling is optional. Or you have a drive formatted for Winderz.
    Aside from incorrect drive formatting, we have seen this error if the capture is incomplete or improperly terminated.
    It's not an FCP issue, it's hardware.

Also Bridge keeps saying "Building Criteria" with the spinning wheel and nothing happens. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Please help:)

    Maybe a Preferences reset can help:
    Numerous program settings are stored in the Adobe Bridge preferences file, including display, Adobe Photo Downloader, performance, and file-handling options.
    Restoring preferences returns settings to their defaults and can often correct unusual application behavior.
    Press and hold the Ctrl key (Windows) or the Option key (Mac OS) while starting Adobe Bridge.

    be sure not to have the older version of camera raw plugin in the same folder as that of new one. dont even rename it. Remove it and store it in some other location in case you need to revert back the changes. The camera raw plugin is called : Camera Raw
    thanks

    And did you then actually purge the cache?
    Please realize that you have given ZERO details.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    Note that this is boilerplate text.
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.
