LOBs.
ORA-24808: streaming of lob data is not allowed when using lob buffering
Cause: Attempted to stream lob data via the polling mode or a callback when lob
buffering was enabled for the input lob locator.
Action: Lob buffering is useful when reading/writing small amounts of lob data
so streaming should not be necessary. Rewrite the OCILobRead/OCILobWrite call
so that it does not use streaming. If streaming of data is required, lob buffering
should not be used. In this case, flush buffers associated with the input lob locator
as necessary, disable buffering on the input lob locator and reissue the
OCILobRead/OCILobWrite call.
ORA-24809: amount specified will not fit in the lob buffers
Cause: LOB buffering is enabled for the input lob locator so buffering will be
used. However, the amount of lob data to read or write is larger than what the lob
buffers can hold.

implicitly converted to or from UCS2. This implicit conversion failed.
16-24 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Contact Oracle Worldwide Support.
ORA-24813: cannot send or receive an unsupported LOB
Cause: An attempt was made to send a LOB across the network, but either the
server does not support the LOB sent by the client, or the client does not support
the LOB sent by the server. This error usually occurs when the client and server
are running different versions of Oracle.
Action: Use a version of the Oracle that supports the LOB on both the client and
the server.
ORA-24814: operation not allowed for temporary LOBs
Cause: Temporary LOB locators are not allowed in the operation. For example:
OCILobAssign only takes persistent LOB locators as parameters, not temporary
LOBs.
Action: Use OCILobLocatorAssign for temporary LOBs instead. Note that
OCILobLocatorAssign can also be used for persistent LOBs, in which case it will
behave the same as OCILobAssign.
ORA-24815: Invalid character set form
Cause: An invalid character set form was passed into an OCI LOB function. For
example, the only valid cs form for OCILobCreateTemporary() is OCI_
DEFAULT(0), SQLCS_IMPLICIT(1) or SQLCS_NCHAR(2).
Action: Specify a valid character set form.
ORA-24816: Expanded non LONG bind data supplied after actual LONG or LOB
column

due to varying width db char/nchar set.
Action: Use smaller chunk sizes when you have character set conversion between
client/server or perform piece-wise read or write.
ORA-24818: Operation not permitted on Abstract LOBs
Cause: Abstract LOB locators were not allowed in the operation. For example,
OCILobAssign only takes persistent LOB locators as parameters, not Abstract (i.e.,
client-side created) LOBs.
Action: Avoid the operation on Abstract LOBs.
ORA-24819: Illegal reference count encountered for a temporary LOB
Cause: Internal error.
Action: This error should not normally occur. If it persists, contact Oracle Support
Services.

arguments (one for the table name and one for the OID value) if a fixed table name
was not specified through OCI_DIRPATH_EXPR_REF_TBLNAME.
2. Scoped system-generated REFs can have 1 or 2 input arguments. Because a table
name argument is not needed for a scoped ref, only 1 argument (OID value) is
expected. But if the table name argument is given, it's still accepted.
3. Scoped primary-key REFs with N columns in its primary-key OID can have N
or N+1 input arguments. Because a table name argument is not needed for a
scoped ref, only N arguments (making up the OID value) is expected. But if the
table name argument is given, it's still accepted.

* (i.e. each (sub)partition must be in the same tablespace).
Action: Specify a different parallel load file, or no file at all.
ORA-26082: load of overlapping segments on table string.string is not allowed
Cause: Client application is attempting to do multiple direct path load
* operations on the same table, but the segments overlap.
Action: Check the partition names (subname attribute of the direct path
* context) being loaded. Make sure you are not loading a table,
* and a partition of the same table. Make sure you are not
* loading a partition, and a sub-partition within the same
* partition.
ORA-26083: unsupported direct path stream version string
Cause: The stream version requested is not supported by the server.
Action: Check to make sure that the VERSION attribute of the direct
* stream is not being set to an invalid value.

* process the stream data that it already has, or a
* OCIDirPathFinish call was made when the server had
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-75
* unprocessed stream data.
Action: Most likely an application mis-use of the direct path API.
* Make sure that the stream is not being reset inadvertently
* prior to any previous stream data being processed, or, that
* OCIDirPathFinish is not being called prematurely (i.e. stream
* pushed, error encountered and LoadStream not called to process
* the remainder of the stream before Finish is called.)
ORA-26096: transfer size too small for row data (number bytes required)
Cause: Either the transfer buffer size specified, or the default
* transfer buffer size (if you did not specify a size), is

failed and why. Make the appropriate corrections and submit the failed commands
again.
ORA-27363: invalid program for lightweight job
Cause: You tried to create a lightweight job using an invalid program. A program
used in a lightweight job has to be enabled, has to be in the same schema as the
job, and the program action has to be either a PL/SQL block or a stored procedure.
Action: Use a valid program for the lightweight job.
ORA-27364: remote database "string" already registered as string
Cause: The user attempted to register a remote database that was already
registered.
Action: To update the registration information, the REPLACE argument of the
REGISTER_REMOTE_DATABASE procedure should be set to TRUE. If the
registration information is already current, no further action is needed.
ORA-27365: job has been notified to stop, but failed to do so immediately
Cause: The job specified in the stop_job command cannot be stopped
immediately(because it is rolling back or blocked on a network operation), but it
has been notified to stop. This means it will be stopped as soon as possible after its
current uninterruptable operation is done.
Action: No action is required for the job to be stopped, but calling stop_job with
force (if you have the privilege) may cause the job to be stopped sooner.
ORA-27366: job "string"."string" is not running
Cause: An attempt was made to stop a job that was not running.
Action: Verify the status of the job. If the job is running but this message is still
being returned, contact Oracle support.
ORA-27367: program "string"."string" associated with this job is disabled

Action: Correct the cause of the exit code and reschedule the job.
ORA-27370: job slave failed to launch a job of type EXECUTABLE
16-132 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The scheduler ran into an error when the job slave tried to start a job of
type EXECUTABLE. The rest of the error stack will provide more detailed
information on what the exact problem was.
Action: Correct the problem specified in the error stack and reschedule the job.
ORA-27371: jobs of type EXECUTABLE are not supported on this platform
Cause: The user tried to create a job or program of type EXECUTABLE on a
platform where such jobs are not supported.
Action: Switch to a different platform or create a different type of job or program.
ORA-27372: length of action and arguments exceeds platform limit string
Cause: The total length of the job or program action and the arguments exceeds
the platform limit specified.
Action: Reduce the total length by specifying fewer and/or shorter arguments
ORA-27373: unknown or illegal event source queue
Cause: The source queue specified for the event based job or event based schedule
was either not found or was of the wrong type.
Action: Check if the queue exists. If it does make sure it is a multiple consumer
queue and it is a post 8.1 compatible queue. Single consumer queues and old-style
queues cannot be used as event source queues.
ORA-27374: insufficient privileges on event source queue
Cause: The job owner had insufficient privileges on the event source queue that
was specified for the job.
Action: The job owner has to have dequeue privileges on event source queue or
he has to have manage queue or dequeue any queue system privileges. Make sure
one of these privileges is granted.
ORA-27375: valid agent name must be specified for secure queues
Cause: The queue specified for the event based job or schedule was a secure
queue and either no agent name was specified or an invalid agent name was
specified.
Action: If no agent name was specified, retry the call with a valid agent name. If
the agent name was valid, check if the agent is currently subscribed to the queue
and, in the case of jobs, check is the agent has been authorized to act as the job
owner.
ORA-27376: event condition cannot be NULL
Cause: A null event condition was passed in for an event based job or schedule.
This is not allowed.
Action: Pass in a legal event condition.
ORA-27377: windows cannot have event based schedules
Cause: Event based schedules for windows are currently not supported.
Action: Use a time-based schedule instead.
ORA-27378: cannot stop jobs of type EXECUTABLE on this platform
Cause: An attempt was made to stop a job of type EXECUTABLE on a platform
where the stop operation was not supported.
Action: If the attempt to stop the job was made with the FORCE option set to
FALSE, try again but change the FORCE option to TRUE.
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-133
ORA-27379: INSTANCE_ID attribute conflicts with job class settings
Cause: The value of the INSTANCE_ID attribute of the job conflicted with the
value of the SERVICE attribute of its job class.
Action: Change the value of the INSTANCE_ID attribute or place the job in a job
class whose settings do not conflict with the INSTANCE_ID attribute. Then
re-enable the job.
ORA-27399: job type EXECUTABLE requires the CREATE EXTERNAL JOB
privilege
Cause: The owner of a job of type EXECUTABLE does not have the CREATE
EXTERNAL JOB system privilege.
Action: Grant the CREATE EXTERNAL JOB system privilege to the job owner or
create another job in a schema which does have the CREATE EXTERNAL JOB
system privilege.
ORA-27411: empty string is not a valid repeat interval.
Cause: An empty string '' was provided as a repeat interval for a window or a
schedule.
Action: Specify a valid repeat interval, e.g.,
'FREQ=DAILY;BYHOUR=8;BYMINUTE=0;BYSECOND=0' for a job that executes
daily at 8am.
ORA-27412: repeat interval or calendar contains invalid identifier: string
Cause: The calendar string or calendar definition for the repeat interval of a job,
schedule or window contained an unsupported keyword or reference to an
undefined calendar.
Action: Correct the repeat interval such that it no longer contains the invalid
keyword.
ORA-27413: repeat interval is too long
Cause: The repeat interval consisted of a calendar string larger than the maximum
size allowed.
Action: Use a shorter calendar string for the repeat interval.
ORA-27414: Invalid string clause value
Cause: The BY clause value was not recognized or was out-of-range for the
frequency specified.
Action: Specify a valid BY clause value.
ORA-27415: repeat interval or calendar must start with a frequency clause
Cause: The specified calendar string for the repeat interval did not start with a
frequency clause.
Action: Create a repeat interval that starts with a frequency clause,for example
'FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=FEB'
ORA-27416: BYDAY clause in repeat interval or calendar contains an invalid
weekday
Cause: The BYDAY clause of the repeat interval contained a value that did not
represent a weekday.
Action: Use the correct three letter abbreviations for weekdays, for example MON
for Monday and FRI for Friday.
ORA-27417: BYWEEKNO clause requires YEARLY clause
16-134 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: A repeat interval or calendar contained a BYWEEKNO clause with a
frequency other than yearly.
Action: Remove the BYWEEKNO clause or change the frequency to YEARLY.
ORA-27418: syntax error in repeat interval or calendar
Cause: The repeat interval or calendar definition was not recognized as valid
syntax.
Action: Specify a valid repeat interval.
ORA-27419: unable to determine valid execution date from repeat interval
Cause: The specified repeat interval contained conflicting clauses that made it
impossible to ever find a matching date, e.g.,
'FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=FEB;BYMONTHDAY=31'. Alternatively, the
scheduler reached its maximum number of attempts to try to find a valid
execution date. This occurs when theoretically there is a valid execution date far in
the future, but the scheduler took too many attempts to determine this date.
Action: Remove the conflicting clauses, or simplify the repeat interval so that it is
easier to determine the next execution date.
ORA-27420: Following message from string interval interpreter
Cause: The repeat interval or calendar definition was not recognized as valid
syntax.
Action: Specify a valid repeat interval.
ORA-27421: calendar expression restriction string encountered
Cause: The calendar expression was not valid because a limit test failed. For
example, the maximum value of the interval that can be specified in the
INTERVAL clause is limited to a value derived from the frequency clause.
Action: Specify a valid calendar definition.
ORA-27422: usage of string not supported in embedded calendar application
"string"."string"
Cause: The main calendar definition used an embedded calendar in an
INCLUDE, EXCLUDE, INTERSECT, or FREQ clause for which extra limitations
apply.
Action: Remove the specific clause from the calendar definition.
ORA-27423: calendar clause string specified more than once
Cause: The calendar definition contained a clause that was specified twice or
more times.
Action: Append the values in the second clause to the first clause and remove the
second clause.
ORA-27424: calendar clauses string and string are incompatible
Cause: The calendar definition contained clauses that were incompatible.
Action: Change or remove either clause.
ORA-27431: chain "string"."string" has a user-managed rule set
Cause: An attempt was made to modify a rule set that is not managed by the
Scheduler.
Action: Modify the rule set directly using the dbms_rule_adm package or create
another chain without specifying a rule set.

* An attempt was made to grant SYSBACKUP, SYSDG or SYSKM.
* These administrative privileges could not be granted unless the password file
used a newer format ("12" or higher).
* An attempt was made to grant a privilege to a user who has a large password
hash which cannot be stored in the password file unless the password file uses a
newer format ("12" or higher).
* An attempt was made to grant or revoke a common administrative privilege in a
CDB
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-147
Action: Regenerate the password file in the newer format ("12" or higher). Use the
newer password file format ("12" or higher) if you need to grant a user the
SYSBACKUP, SYSDG or SYSKM administrative privileges, or if you need to grant
a privilege to a user who has a large password hash value.
ORA-28018: This operation requires connection as SYS or SYSBACKUP.

IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY to other, such as NOT IDENTIFIED) or use ALTER
USER to change the type of the user that is the grantee.
ORA-28023: must revoke grants of this role to other user(s) first
Cause: The role altered to IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY was granted to one or more
other users and/or roles. Global roles cannot be granted to any user or role.
Action: Use REVOKE to revoke the role from other users or roles first.
ORA-28024: must revoke grants of external roles to this role/user
Cause: The user or role altered to IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY has external roles
directly granted - these must be revoked, since external roles cannot be granted to
global users or roles.
Action: Use REVOKE to revoke the external roles from the user or role to be
ALTERed.
ORA-28025: missing or null external name
Cause: The IDENTIFIED EXTERNALLY AS or IDENTIFIED GLOBALLY AS
clause was specified with a valid external name.
Action: Provide a valid external name.

configure the remote server.
ORA-28029: could not authorize remote server for user string
Cause: During the course of opening a privileged database link, the remote server
was found to lack the necessary authorizations to connect as the current global
user. This may be because the server was not authorized by the network security
service. Or it may be because the local server is restricting access by the remote
server using the DBMS_SECURITY_DOMAINS_ADMIN package.
Action: Grant the remote server the proper authorization to connect as the given
global user, and check that the local server is not restricting access.
ORA-28030: Server encountered problems accessing LDAP directory service

Cause: The command referenced a redacted column in an object protected by a
data redaction policy.
Action: If possible, modify the command to avoid referencing any redacted
columns. Otherwise, drop the data redaction policies that protect the referenced
tables and views, or ensure that the user issuing the command has the EXEMPT
REDACTION POLICY system privilege, then retry the operation. The EXEMPT
REDACTION POLICY system privilege is required for creating or refreshing a
materialized view when the materialized view is based on an object protected by a
data redaction policy. The EXEMPT REDACTION POLICY system privilege is
required for performing a data pump schema-level export including any object
protected by a data redaction policy. All data redaction policies are listed in the
REDACTION_COLUMNS catalog view.
ORA-28082: The parameter string is invalid.
Cause: The specified parameter was either empty or too long.
Action: Specify a parameter of correct length. See the documentation for length
requirements.
ORA-28083: A redacted column was referenced in a virtual column expression.
Cause: This redacted column was referenced in a virtual column expression.
16-154 Oracle Database Error Messages

Action: Modify the policy expression to use only supported PL/SQL function
nesting. The Oracle Label Security functions NUMERIC_LABEL, CHAR_TO_
LABEL, and SA_SESSION can only be used from within the Label Security
dominates functions. For a complete list of supported PL/SQL function nesting,
refer to the section on writing policy expressions in the Oracle documentation for
data redaction.
ORA-28091: unsupported use of PL/SQL function string.string.string in policy
expression
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-155
Cause: The policy expression used a PL/SQL function in an unsupported way.

permissions and disk space availability on the file system. Make sure that the
Oracle processes have read/write permissions on the password-based and auto
login wallets. Retry the command.
ORA-28396: rekey of enc$ dictionary table failed
Cause: One or more master keys required for the rekey operation could not be
found in the wallet. Either incorrect master key identifiers were inserted into the
enc$ dictionary table or the wallet containing the referenced master keys were
improperly modified or deleted.
Action: Restore the most recent copy of the wallet and try again.
ORA-28397: cannot bring file string online since it has a passphrase-wrapped key
Cause: The encrypted tablespace file was rewrapped using passphrase through
the DBMS_TTS.PASSPHRASE_REWRAP_KEY procedure. Therefore it cannot be
part of the database until it is converted by RMAN.
Action: Do not attempt to bring files with passphrase-wrapped keys online.
ORA-28398: cannot rewrap encryption key for this file

encrypted tablespace, or it had already been rewrapped.
Action: Verify that the file is a copy of a file from an encrypted tablespace.
ORA-28403: file string cannot be modified because it is an online data file
Cause: An attempt was made to modify an online data file when the file was not
expected to be part of the database.
Action: Check the status of the file and its tablespace and make sure it is offline or
is a copy of a data file
ORA-28404: role cannot be altered
Cause: An attempt was made to alter the role to become a global, external,
password protected, or secure application role. The role could not be altered
because it was already granted to one or more other roles.
Action: Use REVOKE to revoke the role from other roles first.
ORA-28405: cannot grant secure role to a role
Cause: Role granted was a password protected or secure application role. This
role can only be granted directly to a user.
Action: Grant the role directly to a user.
ORA-28407: Hardware Security Module failed with PKCS#11 error string(number)
Cause: The Hardware Security Module (HSM) connection may have been lost or
another internal HSM error was reached.
Action: Check the error. For more information on the error, check the trace files

encrypted with the wallet master key.
Action: No action required.
ORA-28411: auto login wallet cannot be open during migration
Cause: Auto login wallet could not be opened during migration.
Action: Close the auto login wallet and try the migration again.
ORA-28412: cannot determine the database migration status
Cause: The migration status of the database could not be determined.
Action: Verify if the migration status is correct in props$ and, if not, correct it.
Shutdown and startup the database.
ORA-28414: specified keys are in HSM
Cause: Master key rekey or activation failed because the keys were in Hardware
Security Module(HSM) but the configuration indicated that the keys were in
wallet.
Action: Correct the sqlnet.ora configuration to HSM or migrate to wallet.
ORA-28415: specified keys are in wallet
Cause: Master key rekey or activation failed because the keys were in wallet but
the configuration indicated that the keys were in Hardware Security
Module(HSM).
Action: Correct the sqlnet.ora file configuration to wallet or migrate to HSM.
ORA-28416: specify the correct keystore in the sqlnet.ora file
Cause: The keystore specified in the sqlnet.ora file was incorrect.
Action: When migrating to HSM, the keystore specified in sqlnet.ora file should
be HSM and similarly when migrating to wallet, the keystore specified in
sqlnet.ora should be wallet. Check if the sqlnet.ora file configuration is correct and,
if not, correct it.
ORA-28417: password-based keystore is not open
Cause: Password-based keystore was not opened.
Action: Close the auto login keystore, if required, and open a password-based
keystore.
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-175

Action: Close the auto login keystore, if required, and open a password-based
HSM.
ORA-28419: migration from wallet to Hardware Security Module (HSM) failed
Cause: The TDE_MASTER_KEY_ID entry did not exist in props$ table. A
subsequent attempt to add TDE_MASTER_KEY_ID entry into props$ failed.
Action: Verify why the TDE_MASTER_KEY_ID entry was deleted from the
props$ table. Retry the command.
ORA-28420: cannot open resetlogs from a restore point prior to wallet creation
Cause: The open resetlogs, open read-only, or standby activation operation failed
because the restore point is prior to the wallet creation, and the data file does not
contain the database key information as stored in the control file.
Action: Restore to a restore point after the wallet creation, or rebuild the control
file with existing data files.
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this
message:
Cause: The cause is explained in the forwarded message.
Action: See the non-Oracle system's documentation of the forwarded message.
ORA-28501: communication error on heterogeneous database link
Cause: An unexpected communication failure occurred on a heterogeneous
database link to a non-Oracle system. The message above will be followed by a
second message generated by the connected non-Oracle system.
Action: See the documentation for the non-Oracle system for an explanation of
the second error message.
ORA-28502: internal communication error on heterogeneous database link
Cause: A communication error internal to ORACLE's heterogeneous services has
occurred.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28503: bind value cannot be translated into SQL text for non-Oracle system

link to a non-Oracle system, but the non-Oracle system does not support bind
variables.
Action: Change your SQL statement so that it does not use bind variables.
ORA-28504: ROWID not found in ROWID cache for heterogeneous database link
Cause: The ROWID cache for Heterogeneous Services held no entry that
corresponds to the specified ROWID. The ROWID entry may have been
overwritten in the ROWID cache.
Action: Enlarge the Heterogeneous Services ROWID cache size by increasing the
value of the Heterogenous Services initialization parameter HS_ROWID_CACHE_
SIZE.
ORA-28505: cannot get non-Oracle system capabilities from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve capability information for the non-Oracle
system connected through a heterogeneous database link. This capability
16-176 Oracle Database Error Messages
information should be stored in data dictionary tables viewable with the HS_
CLASS_CAPS or HS_INST_CAPS data dictionary views.
Action: Contact the DBA to check the server data dictionary table named in the
error message. If table contents are incorrect, the DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server.
ORA-28506: parse error in data dictionary translation for string stored in string
Cause: A reference to an ORACLE data dictionary table or view name on a
heterogeneous database link to a non-Oracle system could not be translated. The
ORACLE data dictionary tables shown with view HS_CLASS_DD contain invalid
SQL for the data dictionary translation.
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor.
ORA-28507: error in data dictionary view string
Cause: The initialization parameter table for the Heterogeneous Services was not
available, or its structure (number of columns or column types) was incorrect.
Action: Verify correct installation of the following Heterogeneous Services'
initialization parameter views: HS_CLASS_INIT and HS_INST_INIT. If these
views are not available, make sure you ran the script CATHS.SQL in the
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.
ORA-28508: invalid value string for Heterogeneous Services initialization
parameter string
Cause: The specified Heterogeneous Services initialization parameter had an
invalid value when attempting to connect to a non-Oracle system.
Action: Check the Heterogeneous Services and agent documentation to determine
acceptable values
ORA-28509: unable to establish a connection to non-Oracle system
Cause: Initialization of a database link to a non-Oracle system failed to connect to
the Heterogeneous Services agent process for this non-Oracle system.
Action: Check the Net8 service name definition in the following places: -- the
USING clause of the CREATE DATABASE LINK statement -- the
TNSNAMES.ORA file -- the Oracle Names Server The following are possible
reasons for name mismatches: -- The USING clause in the CREATE DATABASE
LINK statement has to match the service name defined in the TNSNAMES.ORA
file or in the Oracle Names Server. -- The protocol-specific information in the
service name definition must match the protocol-specific definition of the
responding listener. -- The SID=<name> in the service name definition (in the
TNSNAMES.ORA file or in Oracle Names Server) must match the value in the
LISTENER.ORA file for the responding listener.
ORA-28510: heterogeneous database link initialization failed
Cause: Initialization of a heterogeneous database link to a non-Oracle system
failed due to an error identified by the agent for this non-Oracle system.
Action: Make sure the non-Oracle system is up and running and that all of the
environment and initialization values for the agent are set correctly.
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=string
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-177
Cause: A fatal error occurred in one of the following places: -- the connection
between the ORACLE server and the agent -- the heterogeneous services remote
agent itself -- the connection to the non-Oracle system This error occurred after
communication had been established successfully.
Action: Check for network problems and remote host crashes. The problem is
probably in the agent software. If so, contact a customer support representative of
the agent vendor.
ORA-28512: cannot get data dictionary translations from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve data dictionary translation information
for the non-Oracle system connected through a heterogeneous database link. This
data dictionary translation information should be stored in data dictionary tables
viewable with the HS_CLASS_DD or HS_INST_DD data dictionary views.
Action: Ask your DBA to check the server data dictionary table named in the
error message. If table contents are incorrect, the DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server.
ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
Cause: An internal error has occurred in the Oracle remote agent supporting a
heterogeneous database link.
Action: Make a note of how the error was produced and contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28514: heterogeneous database link initialization could not convert system
date
Cause: The system date was not retrievable.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server's host machine and operating system are
operational. This error should not occur unless low level system functions are
failing.
ORA-28515: cannot get external object definitions from string
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve definitions of distributed external
procedures or remote libraries registered for the non-Oracle system instance,
probably because the underlying data dictionary table does not exist or is
malformed.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server's Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory.
ORA-28518: data dictionary translation has illegal translation type
Cause: A data dictionary translation definition, either in the ORACLE server data
dictionary or in data dictionary content uploaded from a Heterogeneous Services
agent, specified an illegal translation type code. Legal values are 'T' or 't' for
'translate', 'M' or 'm' for 'mimic'. Information on the exact data dictionary
translation causing the error is written to a trace (*.TRC) file for the ORACLE
instance and to the ORACLE instance's alert log. This error occurs when a
Heterogeneous Services agent uploads data dictionary content to an ORACLE
server on the first connection from the server to the agent.
Action: Contact the customer support of the agent vendor.
16-178 Oracle Database Error Messages
ORA-28519: no heterogeneous data dictionary translations available
Cause: The ORACLE server's data dictionary did not define data dictionary
translations for the connected non-Oracle system, and automatic self-registration
(data dictionary upload) was disabled.
Action: Ask a DBA to resolve this problem. The easiest solution is to enable
automatic self-registration by setting the ORACLE server's HS_AUTO_REGISTER
initialization parameter to TRUE. An alternative is to load the Heterogeneous
Services data dictionary with information specific for the non-Oracle system by
executing a SQL script supplied by the agent vendor. If the script is run and the
error persists, contact the customer support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28520: error initializing heterogeneous data dictionary translations
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve data dictionary translations for the
non-Oracle system instance, probably because the underlying data dictionary table
does not exist or is formed incorrectly.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server's Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory. If the connected agent, identified by FDS_CLASS_NAME, requires a
custom installation script for the ORACLE server, verify that the script has been
run. If both scripts were executed and the error persists, contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28521: no heterogeneous capability information available
Cause: The ORACLE server's data dictionary did not contain capability
definitions for the connected non-Oracle system, and automatic self-registration
(data dictionary upload) was disabled.
Action: Ask a DBA to resolve this problem. The easiest resolution is to enable
automatic self-registration by setting the ORACLE server's HS_AUTO_REGISTER
initialization parameter to TRUE. An alternative is to load the Heterogeneous
Services data dictionary with information specific for the non-Oracle system by
executing a SQL script supplied by the agent vendor. If the script is run and the
error persists, contact the customer support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28522: error initializing heterogeneous capabilities
Cause: ORACLE was unable to retrieve capability definitions for the non-Oracle
system instance, probably because the underlying data dictionary table does not
exist or is formed incorrectly.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server's Heterogeneous Services data dictionary
was installed correctly. If the Heterogeneous Services data dictionary is not
installed, execute the CATHS.SQL script in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
directory. If the connected agent, identified by FDS_CLASS_NAME, requires a
custom installation script for the ORACLE server, verify that the script has been
run. If both scripts were executed and the error persists, contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28523: ORACLE and heterogeneous agent are incompatible versions
Cause: An operation on a database link attempted to connect to a non-Oracle
system, but the ORACLE instance and the agent process for the non-Oracle system
are incompatible.
Action: Ask your DBA to confirm configuration of both the ORACLE instance
and the agent. Additional information on the version incompatibility is logged in
trace (*.TRC) files, the ORACLE instance and the agent, and in the ORACLE
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-179
instance's alert log. Check the documentation for your agent to find out which
releases of the Oracle Server are supported.
ORA-28525: unable to create Heterogeneous Services error message text
Cause: Incorrect arguments were passed into the error message creation routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28526: invalid describe information returned to Heterogeneous Services
Cause: The Heterogeneous Services received invalid describe information for a
select list, bind list, or stored procedure from the Heterogeneous Services agent.
This indicates a problem with the Heterogeneous Services' non-Oracle system
agent.
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor.
ORA-28527: Heterogeneous Services datatype mapping error
Cause: Either an Oracle datatype could not be mapped to a non-Oracle datatype,
or a non-Oracle datatype could not be mapped to an Oracle datatype. These
mappings are defined as capability definitions in the ORACLE server's data
dictionary.
Action: Verify that the ORACLE server's data dictionary has been initialized with
correct capability definitions for the connected FDS_CLASS_NAME and FDS_
INST_NAME. If table contents are incorrect, a DBA should restore all data
dictionary content for this FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. It
usually is sufficient to delete all current data dictionary content for this class
and/or instance and initiate a new connection to let the connected agent upload
new data dictionary content to the server. If the error persists contact the customer
support representative of the agent vendor.
ORA-28528: Heterogeneous Services datatype conversion error
Cause: Either an Oracle datatype could not be converted to a non-Oracle
datatype, or a non-Oracle datatype could not be converted to an Oracle datatype.
The following are possible reasons for for the conversion failure: -- overflow
problems (in the case of numbers) -- length limitations (in the case of character
strings) -- invalid values passed into the conversion routines
Action: Contact customer support of the agent vendor. If the problem is due to
size discrepancies between Oracle and the non-Oracle system, it may not be
possible to convert the value.
ORA-28529: invalid or missing parameter in Net8 service name definition
Cause: There was an invalid or missing Heterogeneous Services parameter in the
Net8 service name definition stored in either the TNSNAMES.ORA file or in the
Oracle Names Server.
Action: Ask your DBA to make sure the information in the Net8 service definition
is correct and complete. The correct information that should be included in the
Net8 service definition can be found in the agent's documentation.
ORA-28530: Heterogeneous Services initialization error in NLS language ID
Cause: Heterogeneous Services was unable to initialize an NLS language ID. Both
the ORACLE server and the Heterogeneous Services agent for the connected
non-Oracle system must have language IDs.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28533: Heterogeneous Services coercion handling error
16-180 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: The Heterogeneous Services encountered an error in coercion handling.
The HS can, if the agent vendor so chooses, perform extra processing on SQL
statements that contain implicit coercions or that contain coercion functions such
as TO_CHAR, TO_NUMBER or TO_DATE. This functionality is controlled by
coercion-related capabilities. HS logic reports this error when it encounters an
error in one of these capability definitions.
Action: The capability table settings are controlled by the agent vendor and can be
modified by the DBA. Contact your DBA and agent vendor and get the correct set
of capabilities installed.
ORA-28534: Heterogeneous Services preprocessing error
Cause: One of the things that the Heterogeneous Services can do is to preprocess
parts of SQL statements that contain implicit coercions or calls to explicit coercion
functions like TO_CHAR TO_NUMBER or TO_DATE. For example, it could
convert a call to TO_DATE to a bind variable, pre-evaluate the TO_DATE function
call and pass the resulting value to the non-Oracle system as the bind value. This
behavior is controlled by some coercion related capabilities. If the capabilities are
set incorrectly, the HS could encounter errors when it attempts to do the
preprocessing. If it does then this error will be signaled.
Action: The capability table settings are controlled by the agent vendor and can be
modified by the DBA. Contact your DBA and agent vendor and get the correct set
of capabilities installed.
ORA-28535: invalid Heterogeneous Services context
Cause: A Heterogeneous Services agent's driver module called an HS service
routine with an invalid HS context value. This probably is a logic error in the
driver.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support or your agent vendor.
ORA-28536: error in processing Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters
Cause: An error described by a subsequent error message prevented successful
processing of Heterogeneous Services initialization parameters from the ORACLE
server data dictionary.
Action: Check server data dictionary views HS_CLASS_INIT, HS_INST_INIT, and
HS_ALL_INITS. Look for conditions which could produce the error identified in
the error message immediately following this one.
ORA-28537: no more result sets
Cause: This error code was used internally within Oracle Database Gateway and
Heterogeneous Services code and should not be reported to a client program.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28538: result set not found
Cause: The client program tried fetching from a result set that is not open
anymore. Many gateways will, on execution of a stored procedure, automatically
close all result sets that were returned by any previously executed stored
procedure.
Action: Check the documentation for the gateway that you are using and see if it
will automatically close currently open result sets each time a stored procedure is
executed. Then check if your client program is doing anything that violates this
rule. If it is, fix your program. If it is not then contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28539: gateway does not support result sets
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-181
Cause: The client program tried executing a stored procedure that returns one or
more result sets through a gateway that does not have result set support.
Action: Check the documentation for the gateway that you are using and see if it
supports result sets returned from stored procedures. If it does not, then the only
way of accessing such stored procedures is to upgrade to a version of the gateway
that does support result sets (if such a version exists). If the gateway does have
result set support and you are still seeing this error then contact Oracle customer
support.
ORA-28540: internal result set error
Cause: A protocol error internal to Heterogeneous Services or Oracle Database
Gateway code has occurred.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28541: Error in HS init file on line number.
Cause: A syntax error occurred in the gateway initialization file.
Action: Check gateway init file to correct the syntax error. For further
information, check the error message in the gateway trace file.
ORA-28542: Error in reading HS init file
Cause: Reading the gateway init file generated an error.
Action: Check the gateway initialization file name to see that the gateway
initialization file acctually exists. Check the ifile parameter to see that it points to
the correct location.
ORA-28543: Error initializing apply connection to non-Oracle system
Cause: Attempt to initialize connection to non-Oracle for heterogeneous
replication failed.
Action: Check if the listener used to connect to the gateway is up and is correctly
configured. Make sure that the database link used has been configured correctly
and, if a tnsnames alias has been used in the database link definition, make sure
that the configuration of the entry in tnsnames.ora has been done correctly.
ORA-28544: connect to agent failed, probable Net8 administration error
Cause: Net8 reported a failure to make a RSLV connection or a protocol mode
error when the Oracle server attempted to establish communication with a
Heterogeneous Services agent or an external procedure agent. This usually is due
to an administration error in setting up Net8 service definitions in
TNSNAMES.ORA or LISTENER.ORA: A basic network connection is opened, but
it connects to a program which does not use the appropriate protocol. This often is
a sign that the connection goes to the wrong program.
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: -- When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct service name or SID. -- Check
LISTENER.ORA on the agent's host machine to assure that the service name or
SID refers to the correct agent executable in its (PROGRAM=...) clause. -- Confirm
in TNSNAMES.ORA or the equivalent service definition that sevice 'extproc_
connection_data' does NOT contain (HS=), or that the service definition used by a
Heterogeneous Services database link DOES contain (HS=).
ORA-28545: error diagnosed by Net8 when connecting to an agent
16-182 Oracle Database Error Messages
Cause: An attempt to call an external procedure or to issue SQL to a non-Oracle
system on a Heterogeneous Services database link failed at connection
initialization. The error diagnosed by Net8 NCR software is reported separately.
Action: Refer to the Net8 NCRO error message. If this isn't clear, check connection
administrative setup in tnsnames.ora and listener.ora for the service associated
with the Heterogeneous Services database link being used, or with 'extproc_
connection_data' for an external procedure call.
ORA-28546: connection initialization failed, probable Net8 admin error
Cause: A failure occurred during initialization of a network connection from the
Oracle server to a second process: The connection was completed but a disconnect
occurred while trying to perform protocol-specific initialization, usually due to use
of different network protocols by opposite sides of the connection. This usually is
caused by incorrect Net8 administrative setup for database links or external
procedure calls. The most frequent specific causes are: -- Database link setup for an
Oracle-to-Oracle connection instead connects to a Heterogeneous Services agent or
an external procedure agent. -- Database link setup for a Heterogeneous Services
connection instead connects directly to an Oracle server. -- The extproc_
connection_data definition in tnsnames.ora connects to an Oracle instance instead
of an external procedure agent. -- Connect data for a Heterogeneous Services
database link, usually defined in tnsnames.ora, does not specify (HS=). -- Connect
data for an Oracle-to-Oracle database link, usually defined in tnsnames.ora,
specifies (HS=).
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: -- When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct service name or SID. -- Check
LISTENER.ORA on the connection end point's host machine to assure that this
service name or SID connects to the correct program. -- Confirm in
TNSNAMES.ORA or the equivalent service definition that service 'extproc_
connection_data' does NOT contain (HS=), or that the service definition used by a
Heterogeneous Services database link DOES contain (HS=).
ORA-28547: connection to server failed, probable Oracle Net admin error
Cause: A failure occurred during initialization of a network connection from a
client process to the Oracle server. The connection was completed but a disconnect
occurred while trying to perform protocol-specific initialization, usually due to use
of different network protocols by opposite sides of the connection. This usually is
caused by incorrect Oracle Net administrative setup for database links or external
procedure calls. The most frequent specific causes are: -- The connection uses a
connect string which refers to a Heterogeneous Services agent instead of an Oracle
server. -- The connection uses a connect string which includes an (HS=)
specification. -- Hitting Ctrl+C before connection initialization is complete. --
Using DRCP on Windows with SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES set to
NTS. -- Connection timeout due to SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT
parameter when all shared servers are busy in shared server configuration.
Action: Check Oracle Net administration in the following ways: -- When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the client connection
to the Oracle server uses the correct service name or SID. -- Check LISTENER.ORA
on the connection end point's host machine to assure that this service name or SID
refers to the correct server. -- Confirm in TNSNAMES.ORA or the equivalent
service definition that the connect string does not contain (HS=). -- Set
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES to NONE when using DRCP on
Windows.
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-183
ORA-28550: pass-through SQL: cursor not found
Cause: A value passed to a pass-through SQL function or procedure call as a
cursor does not identify a currently open cursor.
Action: Use a cursor number returned by the pass-through SQL OPEN_CURSOR
call.
ORA-28551: pass-through SQL: SQL parse error
Cause: A non-Oracle system rejected text supplied as a pass-through SQL
statement.
Action: Ensure that the SQL supplied to the pass-through SQL PARSE call is legal
for the non-Oracle system.
ORA-28552: pass-through SQL: call flow error
Cause: A pass-through SQL function was called in an invalid order.
Action: Correct program flow by changing the order of API calls to match the
flow described in the manual.
ORA-28553: pass-through SQL: invalid bind-variable position
Cause: A pass-through SQL function referring to the position of a bind variable in
the currently-parsed SQL statement supplied an invalid bind-variable position.
Valid values are 1 through n, where n is the number of bind-variable place-holders
in the SQL text.
Action: Verify that the bind-variable position parameter is in the correct range to
represent a place-holder in the SQL text. Confirm that the SQL text uses the correct
syntax for a bind-variable place-holder, as required by the non-Oracle system.
ORA-28554: pass-through SQL: out of cursors
Cause: The maximum number of open cursors has been exceeded.
Action: Close open cursors by using the pass-through SQL CLOSE_CURSOR
function.
ORA-28555: pass-through SQL: required parameter missing or NULL
Cause: An attempt was made to pass a NULL value to a non-NULL parameter.
Action: Use a non-NULL value for the parameter.
ORA-28556: authorization insufficient to access table
Cause: A query attempted to access a table in the non-Oracle system that is either
privileged or has privileged columns.
Action: Contact the DBA for the non-Oracle system. The DBA can grant
permission to access the privileged table or columns.
ORA-28557: unknown string for database link to non-Oracle system
Cause: When attempting to connect to a non-Oracle system through a
Heterogeneous Services database link, the agent supporting this non-Oracle
system failed to return FDS_CLASS_NAME and/or FDS_INST_NAME. ORACLE
requires these names to configure the heterogeneous database link.
Action: Contact the DBA to check setup of the connection and the Heterogeneous
Services agent.
ORA-28558: HS_FDS_CONNECT_STRING undefined for non-Oracle system
Cause: A database link to a non-Oracle system had no HS_FDS_CONNECT_
STRING initialization parameter in the ORACLE server's data dictionary for
16-184 Oracle Database Error Messages
Heterogeneous Services. Without this parameter, the connection could not be
completed.
Action: Contact your DBA to verify correct setup of an HS_FDS_CONNECT_
STRING entry in the ORACLE Heterogeneous Services data dictionary.
ORA-28559: FDS_CLASS_NAME is string, FDS_INST_NAME is string
Cause: An associated error was reported in another message, and this message
supplies supplementary information to assist diagnosis of that error. FDS_CLASS_
NAME and FDS_INST_NAME are used to access information in tables and views
of the ORACLE data dictionary that direct operation of Heterogeneous Services on
a database link to a non-Oracle data store.
Action: Use the FDS_CLASS_NAME and FDS_INST_NAME values to check
ORACLE data dictionary contents when necessary to diagnose the cause of the
associated error.
ORA-28560: error in configuration of agent process
Cause: An ORACLE server invoked a function not supported by the connected
agent (Heterogeneous Services or external procedures). The most probable cause is
incorrect Net8 setup, resulting in use of the wrong agent executable.
Action: Check Net8 administration in the following ways: -- When using
TNSNAMES.ORA or an Oracle Names server, make sure that the connection from
the ORACLE server uses the correct SID. -- Check LISTENER.ORA on the agent's
host machine to assure that this SID refers to the correct agent executable in its
(PROGRAM=...) clause.
ORA-28561: unable to set date format on non-Oracle system
Cause: Initialization of a Heterogeneous Services connection to set the date format
to be used on the connected non-Oracle system.
Action: If the Oracle data dictionary supplies a value for the HS_NLS_DATE_
FORMAT parameter, confirm that this value is formatted correctly by the rules of
the non-Oracle system. Also check for additional information in log and trace files
generated by the Heterogeneous Services agent.
ORA-28562: Heterogeneous Services data truncation error
Cause: A select operation was attempted with an insufficient data buffer to satisfy
the request.
Action: Contact your DBA to verify whether your gateway initialization
parameter HS_KEEP_REMOTE_COLUMN_SIZE is set appropriately based on
your requirement. If it is, make sure the sizes of bind parameters are sufficient. If
the problem persists, contact Oracle Support Services.
ORA-28575: unable to open RPC connection to external procedure agent
Cause: Initialization of a network connection to the extproc agent did not succeed.
This problem can be caused by network problems, incorrect listener configuration,
or incorrect transfer code.
Action: Check listener configuration in LISTENER.ORA and TNSNAMES.ORA,
or check Oracle Names Server.
ORA-28576: lost RPC connection to external procedure agent
Cause: of this error is abnormal termination of the invoked "C" routine. If this is
not the case, check for network problems. Correct the problem if you find it. If all
components appear to be normal but the problem persists, the problem could be
ORA-24280 to ORA-28709 16-185
an internal logic error in the RPC transfer code. Contact your customer support
representative.
Action: First check the 3GL code you are invoking; the most likely
ORA-28577: argument string of external procedure string has unsupported datatype
string
Cause: While transferring external procedure arguments to the agent, an
unsupported datatype was detected.
Action: Check your documentation for the supported datatypes of external
procedure arguments.
ORA-28578: protocol error during callback from an external procedure
Cause: An internal protocol error occurred while trying to execute a callback to
the Oracle server from the user's 3GL routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28579: network error during callback from external procedure agent
Cause: An internal network error occurred while trying to execute a callback to
the Oracle server from the user's 3GL routine.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28580: recursive external procedures are not supported
Cause: A callback from within a user's 3GL routine resulted in the invocation of
another external procedure.
Action: Make sure that the SQL code executed in a callback does not directly call
another external procedure, or indirectly results in another external procedure,
such as triggers calling external procedures, PL/SQL procedures calling external
procedures, etc.
ORA-28581: protocol error while executing recursive external procedure
Cause: An internal protocol error occurred while trying to execute an external
procedure resulting from a callback in another external procedure.
Action: Contact Oracle customer support.
ORA-28582: a direct connection to this agent is not allowed
Cause: A user or a tool tried to establish a direct connection to either an external
procedure agent or a Heterogeneous Services agent, for example: "SVRMGR>
CONNECT SCOTT/TIGER@NETWORK_ALIAS". This type of connection is not
allowed.
Action: When executing the CONNECT statement, make sure your database link
or network alias is not pointing to a Heterogeneous Option agent or an external
procedure agent.
ORA-28583: remote references are not permitted during agent callbacks
Cause: A Heterogeous Services agent issued a callback to the Oracle server which
attemted to to access a remote system. This is not supported.
Action: Make sure that SQL code issued by Heterogeneous Services agents does
not reference a database link.
ORA-28584: heterogeneous apply internal error
Cause: The apply slave process encountered an error while trying to apply
changes through a gateway to a non-Oracle system.
16-186 Oracle Database Error Messages
Action: Make sure that the apply database link is correctly configured and that
the gateway listener and the non-Oracle system are correctly set up and are up and
running. If everything is configured correctly and the problem still occurs, contact
Oracle customer support. errors 28590 - 28599 are reserved for the HS agent
control utility
ORA-28590: agent control utility: illegal or badly formed command
Cause: The user has issued an unrecognized or syntactically incorrect command.
Action: Refer to documentation and correct the syntax of the command.
ORA-28591: agent control utility: unable to access parameter file
Cause: The agent control utility was unable to access its parameter file. This could
be because it could not find its admin directory or because permissions on
directory were not correctly set.
Action: The agent control utility puts its parameter file in either the directory
pointed to by the environment variable AGTCTL_ADMIN or in the directory
pointed to by the environment variable TNS_ADMIN. Make sure that at least one
of these environment variables is set and that it points to a directory that the agent
has access to.
ORA-28592: agent control utility: agent SID not set
Cause: The agent needs to know the value of the AGENT_SID parameter before it
can process any commands. If it does not have a value for AGENT_SID then all
commands will fail.
Action: Issue the command SET AGENT_SID <value> and then retry the
command that failed.
ORA-28593: agent control utility: command terminated with error
Cause: An error occurred during the processing of the command. There could be
several causes. A SET or an UNSET command could have been issued after the
agent was started. This is illegal. The user may have attempted to start two agents
with the same SID value or the user could have attempted to shutdown an agent
that is no longer running.
Action: If the user wishes to issue a SET or an UNSET command, he should make
sure the agent is shutdown first by issuing the SHUTDOWN command.
ORA-28594: agent control utility: invalid parameter name
Cause: The user tried to set or unset an invalid agent parameter.
