Warning in alert log file

Hai,
i received one warning in alert log file
Oracle instance running on a system with low open file descriptor limlit.
tune u r system to increase this limit to avaoid server performance degradation.
what we will take action regarding this?
Regards
dba

Looks like the number of open files you have are near the current file descriptor limit. Verify that by doing the following:
As root, issue the following:
# ulimit -a | grep -i descriptorsFrom SQL*Plus, issue the following:
SQL> show parameter db_files

  • Errors appeared in alert log file should send an email

    Hi,
    I have one requirement to do, as i am new dba, i dont know how to do this,
    sendmail is configured on my unix machine, but dont know how to send the errors appeared in alert logfile should send an email to administrator.
    daily, it has to check the errors in alert log file, if any errors occurs(ORA- errors or WARNING errors) should send an email to administrator.
    please help me how to do it

    Hi,
    There are many methods for interrogating the alert log and sending e-mail. Here are my notes:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_alert_log_monitoring_errors.htm
    - PL/SQL or Java with e-mail alert: http://www.dba-village.com/village/dvp_papers.PaperDetails?PaperIdA=2383
    - Shell script - Database independent and on same level as alert log file and e-mail.
    - OEM - Too inflexible for complex alert log analysis rules
    - SQL against the alert log - You can define the alert log file as an external table and detect messages with SQL and then e-mail.
    Because the alert log is a server side flat file and because e-mail is also at the OS-level, I like to use a server side scell script. It's also far more robust then OEM, especially when combining and evaluating multiple alert log events. Jon Emmons has great notes on this:
    http://www.lifeaftercoffee.com/2007/12/04/when-to-use-shell-scripts/
    If you are on Windows, see here:
    http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_windows_alert_log_script.htm
    For UNIX, Linux, Jon Emmons has a great alert log e-mail script.
    Hope this helps . . . .

    What's your oracle version?
    If you are in 11g you can use adrci tool
    1- set homes diag/rdbms/orawiss/ORAWISS/ : the rdbms home
    2- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%'" -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file
    3- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-51 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last 51 days,
    4- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find all the ORA-% errors in the alert file during the last hour,
    5- show alert -P "MESSAGE_TEXT LIKE '%ORA-12012%' and originating_timestamp > systimestamp-1/24 " -term : to find the particular ORA-12012 error in the alert file during the last hour,

  • Message in alert log file during the startup of the DB

    Hi,
    i have two instances, i have the same warning in the alert log file during the startup of the DB:
    Oracle instance running on a system with low open file descriptor limit.
    Tune your system to increase this limit to avoid severe performance degradation.
    The db_files parameter was at 1024 for the two instances, i have set it to 300 for the first instance and 550 for second, the message for the first instance was droped(it's ok), but the message was there in the alert log for the second instance.
    The two instance are on the same machine.
    The number of the open file limit on the linux machine is equal to 1024.
    I have shutdown the first instance (with db_files=300) the problem persits for the second instance (with db_files=550).
    My question is how to determinate the right value of db_files parameter to avoid this message.
    Regards.
    Message was edited by:

    Increase the max number of open file on Linux or decrease db_files.
    f the OS limit is 1024 db_files would have to be >= 472 for the message to be printed. t is printed if an instance is configured to access more datafiles than the OS-specific limit on the number of files that can be open in a single process. In this case the server will re-cycle the file descriptors.

  • Will the informations  be recorded in the alert.log file? -----No.168

    will the informations about the loss of a temporary file be recorded in the alert.log file?

    Yes, because whe your database starts needs to "mount" a tablespace with temporary files (case of tablespace "TEMP"). But don't worry with a loss of this tablespace because doesn't contain nothing when database starts.

    This parameter, FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET ranges from 0 to 3600 seconds. It is important to specify your oracle version, since a similar issue is reported for the 10gR1 release.
    The solution for it would be to increase the value to the suggested one in the alert.log file, but it could be completely out of range from the valid values, so set it to zero and let the oracle instance calculate the value. You can check the output at the V$INSTANCE_RECOVERY view at the columns TARGET_MTTR, and ESTIMATED_MTTR prior to proceeding with modificaiton.
    On the other hand, I suggest you to read this metalink note
    Kkjcre1p: Unable To Spawn Jobq Slave Process, Error 1089
         Doc ID:      Note:344275.1

    I'm not sure if this will answer your question or not, but I believe these messages can likely be ignored.

    Mon Aug 10 04:33:49 2009
    Starting control autobackup
    Mon Aug 10 04:33:50 2009
    Errors in file /opt/oracle/admin/blah/udump/blah_ora_32520.trc:
    Mon Aug 10 04:33:50 2009
    Errors in file /opt/oracle/admin/blah/udump/blah_ora_32520.trc:
    Mon Aug 10 04:33:50 2009
    Errors in file /opt/oracle/admin/blah/udump/blah_ora_32520.trc:
    Control autobackup written to DISK device
    handle '/backup/physical/BLAH/RMAN/cf_c-2740124895-20090810-00'
    b) The .trc files, when you look at them contain no errors - only these "informational" messages:
    *** 2009-08-10 04:33:50.781
    *** ACTION NAME:(0000105 STARTED111) 2009-08-10 04:33:50.754
    *** MODULE NAME:(backup archivelog) 2009-08-10 04:33:50.754
    *** SERVICE NAME:(SYS$USERS) 2009-08-10 04:33:50.754
    *** SESSION ID:(126.28030) 2009-08-10 04:33:50.754
    c) I've verified that LOG_ARCHIVE_TRACE is set to 0:
    SQL*Plus> show parameter log_archive_trace
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    log_archive_trace integer 0
    As best I can discern from my own experience, these should just be ignored and I trust (read: "hope") they will simply go away once the latest patchset is applied. As for you running Oracle XE, a patchset is not an option, unfortunately.

  • ORA- errors in alert log file

    I wanted to know when the ORA- errors are reported into the alert.log file?
    And which tye of errors are reported into it?
    And if i wanted to log all the ORA-errors in the alert log then is there any setting for that?

    You can find the type of errors reported in the link above.
    Also, you maynot like to log ORA-00942: table or view does not exist, ORA-00904: : invalid identifier type of errors in alert.log - right? You may want to research at setting up events for generating trace files on specific error numbers you are looking at. That might resolve your problem - hth.

    thank you in advance,

    I just google with "ORA-44003: invalid SQL name" and found below link:
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/dbms_assert_10gR2.php
    SIMPLE_SQL_NAME
    The SIMPLE_SQL_NAME function checks the input string conforms to the basic characteristics of a simple SQL name:
    The first character of the name is alphabetic.
    The name only contains alphanumeric characters or the "_", "$", "#"
    Quoted names must be enclosed by double quotes and may contain any characters, including quotes provided they are represented by two quotes in a row ("").
    The function ignores leading and trailing white spaces are ignored
    The length of the input string is not validated.

  • Checkpoint not complete in alert log file Oracle 11gR2 RAC

    Hi,
    I found checkpoint not complete in alert log file, almost every 3 seconds .
    In metalink i saw for this error, archive_lag_target=0, already this value was set to 0 in my database.
    We have 7 redo log groups for each instance, each group is of two redo log files, each file size is 50m.
    To avoid this error what i need to do..........
    please help me..................

    When you "checkpoint not complete" messages in your alert log this normally means your online redo logs are defined too small to handle the load and you have filled and need to switch to a new online redo log before the checkpoint triggered by the previous log switch has been completed.
    Increasing your online redo log size is normally the fix for this.

  • Alert Log file

    Hi,
    I'm new at administrating a database (11.2.0.2 on OEL).
    1) How often one need to see the alert log file?
    2) Why are some Oracle errors not logged in the Alert Log?

    Hello,
    I wouldn't look in the alert log for performance problems either. At least not immediately, but I would take a quick look in there to see if there were any major problems. The alert log is a good place to look first to check the overall health of the DB because any major errors will be written there.
    You can use the Enterprise Manager to automatically email you if certain errors are raised in the alert log.
    Also, you can search through the alert log using the [url http://www.ora00600.com/wordpress/scripts/databaseconfig/adrci/]ADRCI utility which can be pretty useful.
