ORA-27121 on 8.1.6 SE

Hello ALL
A faced the following problem
during installtaion 8.1.6 Standard
Edition on my Debian 2.2
After software installation
database creation failed
I tried to run
createseed.sh manualy and
get ORA-27121: unable to determine size
of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
Changing shared pool size from
initial 15M to smallest 3.5M
didn't help
What is wrong?
null

This is what happened to me just today,but I have experienced the same problem on tru64 unix, with sticky bit not in place for the following files: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracleO. Once you restore those files via tar command (this is what happened to me), the sticky bit disappears, and you have to re-introduce it by issuing unix command: chmod 1777 on those files.
What it does for you - it allows you to execute the sql statements as an oracle user & group!
In other words, if you try to run sqlplus via user / password, you get an error:
ORA-01034:ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determin size of shared memory segment
Compaq Tru64 UNIX Error: 13: Permission denied
This should not be a problem if you try and execute the same sql statements using listener (connecting to the server by using @ statement).
I hope this helps

Well, yours probably is the only case where I have seen the other group mentioned as Staff, never have seen it otherwise. This is what my 11106 db looks like on OEL 5.1

How to call PL/SQL function from JSP ?

We have the JSP application developed using the JDeveloper 3.0. I am trying to call the PL/SQL DB function. I'm trying to use the method of ApplicationModule:
.getTransaction().executeCommand(sCommand)
The problem is that I can not get the function result back to JSP. The executeCommand() does not seem to accept any host variables.
What to do ? Did anyone manage to get the feedback from DB ?
Here is the code in the JSP page:
<%! String res=" ";%>
<jsp:useBean id="rsn"
class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.TRSRowSetNavigator"
scope="request" >
<%
rsn.initialize(application,session, request,response,
out,"theIMO_trs_bc4J_Bc4JModule.AuctionsListView");
rsn.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
// this is the ID to be copied
String copy_id = request.getParameter(TRS.LOOK_UP_PK_FIELD);
if( copy_id != null) {
// call the PL/SQL procedure to create copy of this auction
String sCommand = "DECLARE a NUMBER; BEGIN :res:=Copy_Auction("
copy_id"); END;";
rsn.getRowSet().getApplicationModule().getTransaction().executeCommand(sCommand);
rsn.getRowSet().getApplicationModule().getTransaction().commit();
I receive the following error:
Error Message: JBO-27121: SQL error during statement execution. Statement: DECLARE a NUMBER; BEGIN :res:=Copy_Auction(45); END;
JBO Error:JBO-27121: SQL error during statement execution. Statement: DECLARE a NUMBER; BEGIN :res:=Copy_Auction(45); END;: ORA-01008: not all variables bound
What criteria has the host variable meet to be used in the executeCommand(sCommand) method ?
Thanks,
Michael

I could be wrong there, but I have experienced similar problem on tru64 unix, with sticky bit not in place for the following files: $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle and $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracleO. Once you restore those files via tar command (this is what happened to me), the sticky bit disappears, and you have to re-introduce it by issuing unix command: chmod 1777 on those files.
What it does for you - it allows you to execute the sql statements as an oracle user & group!
Otherwise, if this bit is lost, whenever you try to connect to sqlplus via user / password it hits you back with:
ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
ORA-27121 unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Compaq Tru64 UNIX Error: 13:Permission denied
This should not be a problem if you try and execute the same sql statements using listener (connecting to the server by using @ statement).
I could be late in response to you, but maybe not for other people.

SQL*Loader permission issue?

I have set up a run_all script on LINUX to invoke SQL*Loader for each table to be loaded. I can run this as the Oracle owner just fine. When I try to let the developer run this on dev, they get the following:
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Apr 25 08:55:18 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
SQL*Loader-128: unable to begin a session
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
They can use SQL*Plus on the command line with the userid and password from the SQL*Loader file. I don't want to have to run these for them every time, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Has the same ORACLE_HOME variable value of the Oracle owner and the developer?

Cannot connect to database without giving @databasename in the sqlplus com

Hi i need to give sqlplus username/password@databasename to connect to the database
I have given the correct ORACLE_SID
if i give only sqlplus username/password then i recieve this error
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 13: Permission denied

Which means the shared memory segment representing the SGA has incorrect permissions.
You can verify those by running
ipcs -m
Likely you have a faulty install and didn't run root.sh and/or rootpre.sh.
You need to verify the correct permissions in the installation documentation.
The oracle executable and the tnslistener executable need to have the suid bit set.

Export for system copy fails - Error 9 (Bad file number)

Hello all,
I am attempting to perform the export phase for a hetergenous system copy on our BI system (BI 7.0 - NW2004s). This system runs on HP-UX 11.11 using Oracle 10.2.0.2 and will be migrated to Windows Server 2003 and MS SQL Server 2005, once the export is complete.
While running sapinst to export the data from the source system, there are several input dialog screens that are skipped, which means I am not able to enter all the paramters used for the export. After seeing this behavior from sapinst, I reviewed the sapinst.log and sapinst_dev.log files and find the warning/error "System call failed. Error 9 (Bad file number)". I have included a portion of these files below.
I have reviewed notes 546006 and 583861, but these seem to refer to an Oracle error ORA-27121, but I am not receiving any Oracle errors in sapinst.log or the Oracle alert log. I have looked for possible permission or ownership problems with any of the SAP or Oracle files, but have not found any that were incorrect. Also, these errors do not specify which file sapinst is having problems with, so I do not have a specific file or area to check.
If anyone has seen something similar to this and has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I did confirm the points you made, and have the details below.
1. check filesystem, if you have enough space, especially /tmp
All filesystems have available space, and /tmp has 310 MB available, before the start of sapinst.
2. check again alert log, trace log for Oracle,
I could not find any errors in the alert_SID.log or any unusual trace files.
3. How did you run sapinst? Are you using "root" account.
I am running sapinst as user root and I am following all the recomendations in the system copy guide (at least as far as I can tell. ;p )
We have four BI systems in this landscape, and the other three have migrated successfully. The procedure I am using, is the same as for the other 3 systems and uses the same SAP media directory that was used on the other systems.
One other item that may be part of my problem here, is that this system is the production system, and was originally installed as a high-availability system, using HP-UX Service Guard for clustering. Currently, this system does not have fail-over enabled, but of course the cluster is still intact. One required piece of the Service Guard enviornment is the use of a virtual hostname. This seems to resolve successfully by sapinst, as I see the correct (virtual) hostname referenced several times. While this is a clustered system (for fail-over purposes), the CI and DB are installed on the same host. So it is not a distributed system, and if failover had been initiated, it would fail both the CI and DB instance, which is the same and only SAP instance.
This did raise one question in my mind, however. I am attempting to extract this using the following menu path within sapinst.
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Support Release 3 --> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Oracle --> Source System Export --> Central System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java
Since this does use Service Guard, but is not a distributed system, should I be using a different path in the sapinst tree, for the export? I have only performed a migration using the above path, so I am not familar with the detailf of the other types, such as High-Availabitly or Distributed-System.
Regards,
Rusty

Database is not comming up. 'ORACLE not available' error

I have two servers and one master backup server. Sun OS version 10 and Oracle 10 standarded edition are installed in three servers. Database files are saved in EMC storage and storage is mounted to the server while transactions are going on. Once I mounted the storage on the master backup server, database is started. This is my environment.
In my case, while database is runing on master backup server, some one has unmounted the storage without shutting down the database. So I manually killed all oracle processes and remount the storage. Then tried to start the database, but database was not comming up and only one entry is there in the alert log saying 'instance is starting' and following message was given.
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
: 13: Permission denied
As well as I can't see any oracle processes are running.
Then I tried to mount the other server's storage volumes and start its database on the master backup server. Fortunatly it was started successfully.Then I tried to remount my first server and start the database. Again it was failed. Finally I restarted the server and problem solved. So I need to clarify what the reason to happen this situation. Please give me a proper solution as I am not an experienced DBA.
Each time I tried to log into the database locally.
Thank you.

Hey Man,,
I think the problem with the server name or IP try this;
Try to check the host name, I have the same problem (on windows).
I checked the host name in system32/drivers/etc/hosts.
in this file find out the ip and name of ur machine, if some thing wrong there make ur own entry with ur machine ip and name. (do not alter existing entries add your own entry)
and then reboot the system
Hope this will work.

DB startup failed

Hi All,
I am getting the following error when starting the server:
IBM AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 13: Permission Denied
R3trans: connect check finished with error code 12
ora 27121
DB startup failed
What is to be done?
Plz help me with this.
Regards,
Archana

Hi Archana,
This look like an authorization issue, Check that all the Oracle services are running and the DB is online, check that the listener is running, check authorizations. You can also check dev_ms, dev_disp and dev_w0, for more info about the error.
Hope this help

Are you able to connect through svrmgrl?
If so, you should let dbassist save the craetion scripts and run them from a xterm-window. This worked for me

Production Release Install Issues on Linux

I just upgraded from the beta to the production relase on Linux (Suse 10.0).
The following issues were easy enough to bypass, but should be fixed in the next release nevertheless, to allow a Linux installation as smooth as under Windows:
* calculation of required swap space: when I installed the beta in November I had 512MB RAM and 1GB swap - no problem at all. Meanwhile I upgraded to 1GB RAM, 1GB swap. The production release complained during install. Why would I need more swap to install Oracle after upgrading RAM? Should the script not instead check total memory (RAM+swap) and be happy?
* second, related issue: the installer complained that I had only 850MB swap space, it supposedly required 1GB. Fact: I have 1GB swap space, but about 150MB were used at that time. Instead of checking the total swap space, the installer checked the free swap space. Solution was easy enough: swapoff -a ; swapon -a. All swap space free, installer runs...
* during configuration (/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure) I selected not to automatically start Oracle at boot time. This set the ORACLE_DBENABLED variable (in /etc/sysconfig/oracle-xe) to false. Unfortunately this variable is used in /etc/init.d/oracle-xe to check before 'start' and 'stop'. As a result it was not possible to manually start and stop the database. Solution: either don't check the variable before start and stop or - as I did: set ORACLE_DBENABLED to true and prevent start at boot time by editing the runlevels (as should be).
Other than that: great product and great timing! Keep up the good work! Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Peter

As an addendum to the above, I noticed that sqlplus failed wouldn't run - it was failing with messages such as:
ERROR:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
and:
ERROR:
ORA-27140: attach to post/wait facility failed
Through scanning countless posts on this forum the solution turned out to be:
chmod u+s `which oracle`
chmod g+s `which oracle`
Speaking as someone who is in Oracle's target audience for this product (small company, currently using open source DBs), I have to say that my experience of installing Oracle was pretty painful and was far more hassle than PostgreSQL, MySQL or even (heaven forbid) SQLServer. Come on Oracle, you can do better than this!

PL/SQL report errors: ORA-01422

Hi all,
(before i you read i would like to say i have searched the net for this error code but nothing shows up like this problem..)
I am getting an error problem when i select certain Schemas from a list on an apex app. page, it only works for some schemas not all..
When i select one schema, it is supposed to display one row.. when i select [ALL] it is supposed to show them all.
It does work if i select '[ALL]' from the select list (p3_schema_name), just not for every single individual one.
the error code:

CLOSE c_schemas;
END IF;
END IF;
END;I have checked the DDH_SCHEMA_NR for repeating entries of the highest number.. some of the ones that dont work do have repeating entries some don't.
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
