Issue:

Application log shows below error and users are unable to connect to the database.

0RA-00257:archiver error, connect internal only until freed

(OR)

0RA-00257:archiver error, connect internal only until freed
ORA-16020: less destinations available than specified by LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST


Fix:

1) Check if there are any errors for the archive destination(s). Make sure that the number of VALID archive destinations is greater than or equal to the value specified by LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST initialization parameter.

set pages 1000
col dest_name for a30
col destination for a60
SELECT dest_id, dest_name, binding, status, destination, error FROM v$archive_dest;

SHOW PARAMETER log_archive_min_succeed_dest

2) If space is full in one or more of the archive destinations (or if destination is not available), take any of the following steps:

2.a) Manually move the archives to another location and delete them from archive destination.
 

(OR)

2.b) Change the archive destination to an alternate archive destination which has space available.
             

SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=<alternate location path>';

  
(OR)

2.c) If there are VALID archive destinations but are less than the value specified by LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST, then set this parameter to a lower value:
            

 SQL> alter system set log_archive_min_succeed_dest=<>;

  
(OR)

2.d) Backup the archives and delete them using RMAN command - BACKUP ARCHIVELOG with DELETE INPUT; (Doc ID 388422.1)

3) In case, archiving does not resume even after freeing up space in archive destination, then probably archiver is stuck.In such case, issue the following command as per (Doc ID 121927.1), for each archive destination to resume automatic archiving:


alter system set LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_.. = 'location=/<archive log path> reopen';

 

When Flash Recovery Area is in use ( Most of the cases we need to follow the below steps)

i) Check if flash_recovery_area is in use.

archive log list; 
Database log mode Archive Mode 
Automatic archival Enabled 
Archive Destination USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST 
Oldest online log sequence 384 
Next log sequence to archive 386 
Current log sequence 386

ii) To immediately resolve this issue, allow more space in the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST with the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE parameter :

SQL> alter system set db_recovery_file_dest_size=<>G scope=spfile;

OR

iii) To avoid the situation once DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE is reached , specify and alternate location
(archiving is automatically performed to the alternate dest2) :

log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=use_db_recovery_file_dest NOREOPEN ALTERNATE=LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2'
log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/other_dest_for_archiving'
log_archive_dest_state_1='enable'
log_archive_dest_state_2='alternate'
db_recovery_file_dest='/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1/flash_recovery_area'
db_recovery_file_dest_size=2G


iv)  To cleanup Flash recovery Area regularly in order to avoid hitting the space issue, refer to below document:


Frist 

1 Step : shut abort;

2 step : startup mont

3 step : target rman /

For immediate release need to delete from ASM for dev servers

RMAN> crosscheck backup;

RMAN> DELETE BACKUP COMPLETED BEFORE 'SYSDATE-2';

================================================

Use below rman script to delete archive logs older than 2 days.

rman target /
DELETE ARCHIVELOG ALL COMPLETED BEFORE ‘sysdate-7’;
CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;

 ==========================================


Space issue in Fast / Flash Recovery Area - FRA Full (Doc ID 829755.1)

Start pluggable database and check the services are up or not in case of EBS check ebs_PDB then connect sqlplus apps/apps for app node.

How to write to a CSV file using Oracle SQL*Plus

By
  SPOOL command  The  SPOOL  command is  unavailable  in the browser-based SQL*Plus version,  iSQL*Plus . To generate files while using iSQL*Plus, change the necessary preference settings to directly output to a file. This is accomplished using the  SPOOL  statement. While  SPOOL  is  active , SQL*PLus will store the output of any query to the specified file. Therefore, the next command to enter is  spool : spool filepath Skipping ahead slightly,  after  your query is inserted, you also need to halt  spool  so the file output is closed by using the  spool off  command: spool off Insert the query  The last step after the settings are modified and  spool  is running is to insert your query. For our simple example, we’re outputting all books from our  books  table. SELECT   title,   author FROM   authors; Don’t forget the semi...

How to troubleshoot Long Running Concurrent Request in EBS 12.2

By
 The following points need to answer before jumping into troubleshooting: Are there any recent code changes done in the concurrent program?           Check long_running_sid and verify the recent code change of last_ddl_timestamp after a             discussion with the developer. Was this running long in the last few run as well, or was this time only?            ==> Check the program history. How much time does it take to complete?           Once again program history can give us some idea. Are these jobs fetching higher data compared to the last run           ===> Confirm on data change . Query Plan change will indicate this issue. Does this job runs at any specific time or it can be run anytime           ===> The nature of the job can help to understand the job's nature. Does this job fetch data using DB Link...

How to set up the Oracle Wallets in Oracle Database 19C
