ORA-00001: unique constraint (RMAN.CKP_U1) violated

 , ,

Hey,
Don’t create so much expectations on this post.

This is because I don’t exactly fixed the issue, but workarounded…
The thing is: This error is caused in catalog database, so the workaround is simple: do a RMAN-nocatalog, I mean, simply don’t connect in catalog to perform the backup.

After completing the backup, I’d suggest you to force a synchronization with command “RESYNC CATALOG“. In worst case, on next execution the implicit resync will fix everything. 🙂

There is no bigger explanations on this, but you can same workaround in MOS Bug 12588237 – RMAN-3002 ORA-1: unique constraint (ckp_u1) violated after dataguard switchover (Doc ID 12588237.8).

And this is it for today!
See you next week!

Exadata: ORA-07445: exception encountered: core dump [ocl_lock_get_waitobj_owner()+26] [11] [0x000000000] [] [] []

 , , ,

Hello all,

This is because the error is generated by an unpublished bug 17891564, as per described in MOS ORA-7445 [ocl_lock_get_waitobj_owner] on an Exadata storage cell (Doc ID 1906366.1).

It affects Exadata storage cell with image version between 11.2.1.2.0 and 11.2.3.3.0. The CELLSRV process crash with this error as per:

Cellsrv encountered a fatal signal 11

The CELLSRV process should auto restart after this error.

OGG-01411 – Cannot convert input file ./dirdat/xx with format RELEASE 9.0/9.5 to output file ./dirdat/zz

 ,

Hi.

If you search solutions to this Error, you will perceived only one documented root cause:

Error:

OGG-01411  Cannot convert input file ./dirdat/xx000549 with format RELEASE 9.0/9.5 to output file ./dirdat/zz000034 with format RELEASE 12.1.

Cause:

“The output trail of the data pump has a different format (version) than the input trail of the data pump”

If you are using GG 12.1 version, and all trails (rmttrail and exttrail) are correctly set with “format release”, you fell into a bug.

Oracle recommend to do upgrade to GG 12.2.

To work around this issue and start process, you need write a new trail, perform etrollover and reposition pump process.

On the Target System, process works fine, but not receive new trails, because pump process are abended.

AIX: “WARNING: Heavy swapping observed on system in last 5 mins.”

 , , , ,

Quick one today!

Having message below in your 11.2.0.3 on AIX like this?

WARNING: Heavy swapping observed on system in last 5 mins. 
pct of memory swapped in [31.28%] pct of memory swapped out [3.81%]. 
Please make sure there is no memory pressure and the SGA and PGA are configured correctly. 
Look at DBRM trace file for more details.

Stand down, this issue is caused by unpublished Bug 11801934, mentioned in MOS False Swap Warning Messages Printed To Alert.log On AIX (Doc ID 1508575.1).

Basically happens because the v$osstat does not reflect proper stats for the swap space paging.

So, stay calm and see you next week!

It’s is a common stuff in Oracle Database not stable or it’s taking some 00600.

Review items:

  • Oracle Database alert log
  • If user process has been killed
  • Network communication (IPTABLES stuff)
  • Server crash

Suggest you to review ‘Master Note: Troubleshooting ORA-03113 (Doc ID 1506805.1)‘ on Oracle support services and keep database away from ORA-03113.

Adaptive Query Optimization: SQL Plan Directives Causing High CPU after 12c Upgrade

 , , , , ,

Hello all!

As DBAs we are always being recommended by Oracle and also recommending to clients to update their databases, but we have to be aware about new features and their effects. This is the case of Adaptive Query Optimization and in this particular case on SQL Plan Directives.

SQL Plan Directives are one of the functionalities that compose the Adaptive Query Optimization in Oracle Database 12c. The basic idea is pretty interesting: The SQL Optimizer keeps reviewing bad (“suboptimal”, as they like to say) plans, tipically incorrect cardinality estimations and generates SQL plan directives, like for missing histograms or extended statistics.

In my case, just after the upgrade to 12c (made on Jan 27th), the CPU usage increased for the same report always ran in the database:

12c_upgrade

Ok, how to check it?

User EXPIRED(GRACE) – How to Never Expire!

 , ,

Ok, this is a common issue, once it’s like the default behavior of oracle for DEFAULT profile, used as DEFAULT to new users. But it’s really easy to solve. 🙂

Before expiring you should be received some:

ORA-28002: the password will expire within x days

Ok then, but what if you are facing errors to reuse the same password, don’t know the password and yet, how to never let it happen again?
