ORA-19400 to ORA-24279


ORA-19400 System type conflict with object SYS.string

Cause: The user had an object with the same name as one of the system types. The system types were not initialized properly.

Action: Remove the conflicting object and re-run migration.


ORA-19500 device block size string is invalid

Cause: The device block size returned by sequential I/O OSD is invalid.

Action: If the block size was set by using the PARMS option of the Recovery Manager ALLOCATE CHANNEL command, then the specified block size must be changed. If no PARMS option was specified on the ALLOCATE CHANNEL command, then this is an internal error that should be reported to Oracle.


ORA-19501 read error on file "string", blockno string (blocksize=string)

Cause: Read error on input file.

Action: Check the file.


ORA-19502 write error on file "string", blockno string (blocksize=string)

Cause: Write error on output file.

Action: Check the file.


ORA-19503 cannot obtain information on device, name="string", type="string", parms="string"

Cause: Call to get device information returned an error.

Action: Check device name, type, and parameters.


ORA-19504 failed to create file "string"

Cause: Call to create file returned an error.

Cause: Call to create the sequential file returned an error.

Action: Check additional messages, check access permissions.


ORA-19507 failed to retrieve sequential file, handle="string", parms="string"

Cause: Call to retrieve the sequential file returned an error.

Action: Check additional messages, and check if the file exists.


ORA-19508 failed to delete file "string"

Cause: Call to delete the file returned an error.

Action: Check additional messages.


ORA-19509 failed to delete sequential file, handle="string", parms="string"

Cause: Call to delete the sequential file returned an error.

Action: Check additional messages.


ORA-19510 failed to set size of string blocks for file "string" (blocksize=string)

Cause: Call to resize the file returned an error.

Action: Check additional messages.


ORA-19511 Error received from media manager layer, error text: string

Cause: An error occurred in the media management software which is linked with the Oracle server to perform backup and restore in cooperation with Recovery Manager.

Action: If the text of message 19511 does not provide enough information to resolve the problem, then you should contact the vendor of the media management software.


ORA-19550 cannot use backup/restore functions while using dispatcher

Cause: An attempt was made to use backup/restore functions while connected to the dispatcher in a shared server. This is not allowed because the device that is used for backup and restore must remain allocated to a single process.

Action: Connect directly to the instance then re-execute the backup or restore function.


ORA-19551 device is busy, device type: string, device name: string

Cause: The indicated device could not be allocated because it is allocated to another session, or no device was named, or all devices of the requested type are busy.

Action: Either attempt to allocate another device or wait until the required device is no longer busy.


ORA-19552 device type string is invalid

Cause: The device type indicated is invalid.

Action: Supply a correct device type and retry the allocation.


ORA-19553 device name string is invalid

Cause: The device name indicated is invalid.

Action: Supply a correct device name and retry the allocation.


ORA-19554 error allocating device, device type: string, device name: string

Cause: The specified device could not be allocated.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error and retry the allocation.


ORA-19555 invalid LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST parameter value

Cause: The value of parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST was not set within the valid range.

Action: Specify a correct value for parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST. If the archive log parameters LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST or LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST are in use, set parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_MIN_SUCCEED_DEST to either 1 or 2.


ORA-19556 required destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST currently is deferred

Cause: The destination for parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST was deferred when it was required to be enabled. The destination was deferred automatically when an ALTER SYSTEM command for parameter LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST defined a destination which duplicated an existing LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameter destination.

Action: Change the destination value for the LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameter.


ORA-19557 device error, device type: string, device name: string

Cause: An error occurred in the platform-specific device code.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error and retry the allocation.


ORA-19558 error de-allocating device

Cause: The specified device could not be de-allocated.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error and retry the allocation.


ORA-19559 error sending device command: string

Cause: An error occurred while sending the indicated command to the session device.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error and retry the allocation.


ORA-19560 string is not a valid device limit

Cause: An invalid type of device limit was specified in a call to X$DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.SETLIMIT.

Action: Use one of the documented limits: KBYTES, READRATE, or PARALLEL.


ORA-19561 string requires a DISK channel

Cause: The attempted command requires that a DISK device channel be allocated to the session, but a non-DISK device was found.

Action: Deallocate the current device and allocate a DISK channel, then retry the command.


ORA-19562 file string is empty

Cause: The indicated file, which is an archive log, control file, or datafile was found to be empty during a copy, backup, or scan] operation.

Action: Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.


ORA-19563 string header validation failed for file string

Cause: When opening the file to be placed in a copy or backup set, to be inspected, or used as the target for an incremental restore, the header was not recognized as a valid file header for a file of the indicated type (datafile, archived log, or control file), belonging to the current database.

Action: Ensure that the correct files are being specified for the copy or backup operation.


ORA-19564 error occurred writing string bytes at block number string

Cause: An error occurred while writing to a file.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error if possible, then retry the copy, backup, or restore operation.


ORA-19565 BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES not enabled when duplexing to sequential devices

Cause: An attempt was made to specify duplexing to sequential devices, but the BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES initialization parameter was not enabled.

Action: Specify BACKUP_TAPE_IO_SLAVES=TRUE in the INIT.ORA file, or do not specify duplexing to sequential devices.


ORA-19566 exceeded limit of string corrupt blocks for file string

Cause: The user specified limit of allowable corrupt blocks was exceeded while reading the specified datafile for a datafile copy or backup.

Action: No action required. The copy or backup operation fails. The session trace file contains detailed information about which blocks were corrupt.


ORA-19567 cannot shrink file string because it is being backed up or copied

Cause: An ALTER statement attempted to reduce the size of the indicated file while the same file is being backed up or copied.

Action: Retry the resize after the backup or copy is complete.


ORA-19568 a device is already allocated to this session

Cause: A device cannot be allocated to a session if another device is already allocated.

Action: Deallocate the current device.


ORA-19569 no device is allocated to this session

Cause: An operation was attempted which requires a device to be allocated to the current session, and there is no device allocated.

Action: Allocate a device then retry the operation.


ORA-19570 file number string is outside valid range of 1 through string

Cause: A file number used in a copy, backup, or restore operation is not valid for the current database.

Action: Specify a valid file number.


ORA-19571 string recid string stamp string not found in controlfile

Cause: The input file specified for a copy or backup operation could not be opened because the record describing the file is not found in the control file.

Action: Specify a correct RECID/stamp and retry the copy or backup.


ORA-19572 cannot process file string, file is being being resized

Cause: The input file specified for a copy or backup operation could not be opened because the file is being resized.

Action: Wait for the resize to complete then retry the copy or backup.


ORA-19573 cannot obtain string enqueue for datafile string

Cause: The file access enqueue could not be obtained for a file specified in a backup, copy or restore operation. If the enqueue type shown is SHARED, then the file is the input file for a backup or copy. If the type is EXCLUSIVE, then the file is the output file for a datafile copy or restore which is attempting to overwrite the currently active version of that file. In this case, the file must be offline or the database must be closed. If the type is read-only, then you are attempting to back up or copy this file while the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.

Action: Wait until the conflicting operation is complete, then retry the copy or backup. If the database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode, then all files being backed up must be closed cleanly.


ORA-19574 output filename must be specified

Cause: This type of copy or restore requires an output file name.

Action: Specify an output file name and retry the copy.


ORA-19575 expected string blocks in file string, found string

Cause: During a backup, restore, copy, or scan operation, the indicated file did not contain as many blocks as were indicated in the file header.

Action: The input copy or backup piece is probably corrupt. If another backup or copy exists of the file that is being restored, then the corrupt file can be deleted from the recovery catalog and the operation can be restarted.


ORA-19576 datafile string not defined in control file

Cause: The specified file number was not found in the control file.

Action: Specify a correct file number and retry the operation.


ORA-19577 file string is MISSING

Cause: A copyDataFileCopy, restoreDataFileTo or proxyRestoreDataFile function specified a file number but no output file name, indicating that the output file name should be taken from the control file. However, the control file entry for this file indicates that it was created for a file that was present in the data dictionary but not named during the last CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, so the name in the control file cannot be used for restoration.

Action: Either specify an output file name or issue a SQL RENAME command to enter a valid name for this file in the control file.


ORA-19578 end of volume while duplexing to sequential files, backup piece incomplete

Cause: An end of volume (EOV) condition was detected while duplexing to sequential files, and this condition cannot be handled currently.

Action: Before retrying the backup, make sure the backup pieces will fit in the volume, or disable duplexing.


ORA-19579 archivelog record for string not found

Cause: No archived log record corresponding to the input file could be found in the control file.

Action: Specify a valid archive log file name and retry the operation.


ORA-19580 string conversation not active

Cause: A backup or restore operation was attempted before a conversation was started.

Action: Start a conversation then retry the operation.


ORA-19581 no files have been named

Cause: An attempt was made to proceed from the file naming phase to the piece processing phase of a backup or restore conversation before any files have been specified for backup or restore.

Action: Specify some files then retry the operation.


ORA-19582 archivelog file header validation for string failed

Cause: The archived log file header is corrupt and could not be validated.

Action: Provide a valid archive log file and retry the operation.


ORA-19583 conversation terminated due to error

Cause: An error occurred which forced the termination of the current backup or restore conversation.

Action: There should be other error messages to help identify the cause of the problem. Correct the error and begin another conversation.


ORA-19584 file string already in use

Cause: The indicated file, which was specified as the target for a copy, restore, or delete operation is already in use by the database.

Action: Specify a different name and retry the operation.


ORA-19585 premature end of volume on piece string

Cause: While creating the indicated backup piece, an end-of-volume condition was encountered before all of the backup set control data was written to the backup piece. This is most likely a media error, because the amount of backup set control data is very small in relation to the total amount of data in a backup set.

Action: Retry the piece with a larger piece of output media.


ORA-19586 string k-byte limit is too small to hold piece directory

Cause: The user-specified limit of k-bytes per backup piece is not enough to hold the backup set control data.

Action: Use the setLimit procedure to increase the k-byte limit and retry the operation.


ORA-19587 error occurred reading string bytes at block number string

Cause: An error occurred while reading from a file.

Action: One or more other messages should be displayed to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Correct the error then retry the copy, backup, or restore operation.


ORA-19588 string recid string stamp string is no longer valid

Cause: The indicated record has been marked as deleted. This indicates that the corresponding file has either been overwritten by another copy or restore, or that the copy was 'consumed' by a switchToCopy operation.

Action: If you know the name of the file you wish to copy, then inspect it and then retry the copy specifying the new RECID.


ORA-19589 string is not a snapshot or backup controlfile

Cause: The control file that is the source for a backup or copy operation is not a snapshot or backup control file.

Action: Specify the name of a snapshot or backup control file.


ORA-19590 conversation already active

Cause: An attempt was made to begin a backup or restore conversation, but another conversation is already active in this session.

Action: Either continue the current conversation, or call backupCancel or restoreCancel to end the current conversation before starting a new one.


ORA-19592 wrong string conversation type

Cause: An attempt was made to specify a type of file to be backed-up or restored, but the current conversation cannot process this type of file. For example, you specified an archived log to be included in a datafile backup set. The specified file will not be included in the backup or restore operation.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19593 datafile number string already included as string

Cause: This datafile is already specified for inclusion in this backup or restore conversation. A backup or restore conversation may process only a single instance of a datafile.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19594 controlfile already included as string

Cause: The control file is already specified for inclusion in this backup or restore conversation. A backup or restore conversation may process only a single instance of the control file.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19595 archivelog string already included in backup conversation

Cause: The indicated archive log has already been specified for inclusion in this backup conversation.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19596 SPFILE already included

Cause: The SPFILE is already specified for inclusion in this backup or restore conversation. A backup or restore conversation may process only a single instance of the SPFILE.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19597 file string blocksize string does not match set blocksize of string

Cause: A file was specified for inclusion in a backup set but it has a logical block size different from the rest of the files in the backup set. All files in a backup set must have the same logical block size.

Action: Specify a file that has the same block size as the rest of the files in the backup set. The conversation is still active and more files can be specified.


ORA-19598 can not backup SPFILE because the instance was not started with SPFILE

Cause: A backup command requested a backup of the SPFILE, but no SPFILE was used to start up the instance.

Action: Create an SPFILE and restart the instance using the SPFILE.


ORA-19599 block number string is corrupt in string string

Cause: A corrupt block was found in a controlfile, archivelog, or backup piece that is being read for a backup or copy. Corruption is not tolerated in controlfiles, archivelogs, or backup pieces.

Action: No action required. The copy or backup operation fails. Note that in the case of a backup set, the conversation is still active and the piece may be retried.


ORA-19600 input file is string string (string)

Cause: This message identifies the input file for a failed copy operation. Both the file number and name (if the name has been determined) are shown.

  • For a datafile, the file number refers to the datafile's absolute file number as shown in the DBA_DATA_FILES view.
  • For a datafile-copy, the file number refers to the copy's control file record number as shown in the V$DATAFILE_COPY view.
  • For a datafile-copy, the file number refers to the copy's control file record number as shown in the RECID column of the V$DATAFILE_COPY view.
  • For an archived log, the file number refers to the log's control file record number as shown in the RECID column of the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view.

Action: Other messages should display to help pinpoint the cause and the solution.


ORA-19601 output file is string string (string)

Cause: This message identifies the output file for a failed copy operation. The fields are as described in message 19600. When creating a new datafile copy, its control file record number may not have been determined when the message is printed. In that case, the record number shown is zero.

Action: See other error message.


ORA-19602 cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode

Cause: An attempt was made to copy or backup a file that was not closed cleanly, and the database was in NOARCHIVELOG mode. This is not allowed because when restored, the file will require redo application before it is usable, and redo is not currently being saved beyond the contents of the online redo logs.

Action: Take the tablespace offline clean or close the database and retry the copy or backup.


ORA-19603 cannot backup or copy active file with KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option

Cause: The user tried to copy or backup a file that was not closed cleanly, with the KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option. This is not allowed because when restored, the file will require redo application before it is usable, and redo will not be saved because of the KEEP .. UNRECOVERABLE option.

Action: Take the tablespace offline cleanly, or close the database and retry the copy or backup.


ORA-19604 conversation file naming phase is over

Cause: A call was made to specify a file to be backed up or restored after the first backup piece has been processed.

Action: You cannot specify more files to be processed during a backup or restore conversation after the first backup piece has been processed. If more files must be specified, you must begin a new conversation.


ORA-19605 input filename must be specified

Cause: The input file name was not specified for a control file copy operation.

Action: Specify an input file name and retry the operation.


ORA-19606 Cannot copy or restore to snapshot controlfile

Cause: A control file copy or restore operation specified the name of the snapshot control file as the output file. It is not permitted to overwrite the snapshot control file in this manner. Other methods are available to create the snapshot control file.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation. If this is a restore, then the restore conversation remains active and more files may be specified.


ORA-19607 string is an active controlfile

Cause: A control file copy, restore, or backup specified the name of a control file named in the INIT.ORA file as the input or output file.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation. If this is a backup or restore conversation, then the conversation remains active and more files may be specified.


ORA-19608 string is not a backup piece

Cause: The specified file is not a backup piece produced by the DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE package. Either the first block of the backup piece is corrupt or this file is not a backup piece.

Action: Specify a different file name and retry the operation.


ORA-19609 string is from different backup set: stamp string count string

Cause: The specified file is not from the backup set which is currently being processed. It is part of a different backup set. The identification of the set containing this piece is shown.

Action: Specify the correct backup piece and retry the operation.


ORA-19610 directory block string is corrupt

Cause: The indicated directory block failed checksum validation. This backup piece is unusable.

Action: Supply another copy of the same backup piece, or terminate the restore conversation.


ORA-19611 backup piece out of order. Expected string but found string

Cause: This backup piece is out of sequence.

Action: Supply the correct backup piece.


ORA-19612 datafile string not restored due to string

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because all of its data blocks were not found in the backup piece.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and the current piece must be reprocessed. If the failure cannot be resolved by reprocessing the current piece, then the restore conversation must be cancelled.


ORA-19613 datafile string not found in backup set

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because it is not in this backup set. If the file number is zero, then this refers to the control file.

Action: This message is issued when the directory from the first backup piece is read and one or more files named for restoration were not found. The restore conversation is still active, but no data has been read and you must supply the first backup piece of a backup set that contains all of the requested files.


ORA-19614 archivelog thread string sequence string not found in backup set

Cause: The indicated archived log file was named explicitly for restoration but is not contained in this backup set.

Action: This message is issued when the directory from the first backup piece is read and one or more files named for restoration were not found. The restore conversation is still active, but no data has been read and you must supply the first backup piece of a backup set that contains all of the requested files.


ORA-19615 some files not found in backup set

Cause: Some files that were specified for restoration were not found in the backup set directory. Message 19613 or 19614 is issued for each file that was not found.

Action: See the instructions for message 19613.


ORA-19616 output filename must be specified if database not mounted

Cause: A datafile restore specified no target file name, but the database is not mounted. The database must be mounted when no target file name is specified, so that the target file name can be obtained from the control file.

Action: The restore conversation remains active. If you wish to restore datafiles without their target file names, then mount the database before continuing. Otherwise, a target file name must be specified on all datafile restoration calls.


ORA-19617 file string contains different resetlogs data

Cause: The indicated file contains resetlogs data which is different from the archived log files which are already included in the backup set. All archived log files in a backup set must have the same resetlogs data.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and you may continue to specify archived log files for inclusion in the backup set.


ORA-19618 cannot name files after restoreValidate has been called

Cause: A call was made to specify a file to restore from a backup set, but a previous call to restoreValidate has already been made.

Action: You must cancel and restart the conversation if you wish to specify files to restore.


ORA-19619 cannot call restoreValidate after files have been named

Cause: restoreValidate was called after some files had already been specified for restoration.

Action: You must cancel and restart the conversation if you wish to call restoreValidate.


ORA-19621 archivelog range has already been specified

Cause: A range of logs has already been specified. Only one SCN range may be specified per conversation.

Action: The restore conversation remains active and more logs may be specified by thread and sequence number, if desired.


ORA-19622 archivelog thread string sequence string not restored due to string

Cause: The indicated file could not be restored, because all of its data blocks were not found in the backup piece.

Action: The restore conversation remains active, and the current piece must be reprocessed. If the failure cannot be resolved by reprocessing the current piece, then the restore conversation must be cancelled.


ORA-19623 file string is open

Cause: A SwitchToCopy operation specified a datafile copy whose parent datafile is open.

Action: Take the owning tablespace offline or close the database, then retry the operation.


ORA-19624 operation failed, retry possible

Cause: A backup, restore or image copy operation failed with an I/O error. If the source of the I/O error can be corrected, then the operation may be retried.

Action: This message is used by Recovery Manager to decide whether or not to retry the operation.


ORA-19625 error identifying file string

Cause: A file specified as input to a copy or backup operation, or as the target for an incremental restore, could not be identified as an Oracle file. An operating system-specific error accompanies this error to help pinpoint the problem.

Action: Specify an different file and retry the operation.


ORA-19626 backup set type is string - can not be processed by this conversation

Cause: The data in the backup set is not compatible with the current conversation.

Action: Either supply the first piece from a backup set that matches the current conversation or start a new restore conversation which can process this backup set.


ORA-19627 cannot read backup pieces during controlfile application

Cause: This is a control file restore conversation, which is using the offline range information from one or more control files to update datafile checkpoint data. Backup sets are not used during this type of conversation.

Action: The conversation is still active and more control files may be applied.


ORA-19628 invalid SCN range

Cause: The starting SCN for restoreRedoLogRange is greater than the ending SCN.

Action: Specify a starting SCN which is less than or equal to the ending SCN.


ORA-19629 no files in specified archivelog SCN range

Cause: This backup set contains no files in the specified range.

Action: Either supply a backup set that contains files in the correct range or start a new conversation and specify a range which will select some files from this backup set.


ORA-19630 end of volume encountered while copying backup piece

Cause: While copying a backup piece from the operating system native file system to an output device, the output device encountered end-of-volume.

Action: The copy fails. This could happen if a tape was used which is not large enough to hold the entire backup piece.


ORA-19631 archivelog record contains no file name

Cause: This archive log record represents a switch into an active log that took place without archiving its prior contents. The prior contents of the log file are lost.

Action: Specify the RECID of an archive log record that contains a file name. Fixed view V$ARCHIVED_LOG can be used to examine the archived logs.


ORA-19632 file name not found in controlfile

Cause: The name passed to getFno was not found in the control file.

Action: Supply a valid file name.


ORA-19633 controlfile record string is out of sync with recovery catalog

Cause: The control file record describing the file to be deleted in a call to deleteBackupPiece, deleteDataFilecopy, proxyDelete or deleteArchivedLog does not match the validation data supplied by Recovery Manager.

Action: Contact Oracle Support Services.


ORA-19634 filename required for this function

Cause: The FNAME or handle parameter was not specified for deletePiece, deleteDataFileCopy, deleteRedoLog or proxyDelete.

Action: Specify the FNAME or handle parameter when calling these functions.


ORA-19635 input and output filenames are identical

Cause: Identical input and output file names were specified for a datafile copy operation.

Action: Specify an output file name which is different from the input file name.


ORA-19636 archivelog thread string sequence string already included

Cause: The indicated archive log has already been specified for inclusion in this restore conversation. A restore conversation may process only one copy of any archive log.

Action: No action required. The conversation is still active, and more files can be specified.


ORA-19637 backupPieceCreate requires file name when using DISK device

Cause: The session device is currently allocated to disk, and so a file name is required.

Action: Supply a file name and retry the operation.


ORA-19638 file string is not current enough to apply this incremental backup

Cause: The checkpoint of the target for this incremental backup is less than the start of the incremental backup. If this backup were applied, then any changes made between the datafile checkpoint and the start of the incremental backup could be lost.

Action: Supply a backup set that can be applied and retry the operation.


ORA-19639 file string is more current than this incremental backup

Cause: The checkpoint of the target for this incremental backup is greater than or equal to the checkpoint of the file in the incremental backup set. This backup cannot advance the checkpoint of the target file, so there is no point in applying it.

Action: Supply a backup set that can be applied and retry the operation.


ORA-19640 datafile checkpoint is SCN string time string

Cause: This message identifies the datafile checkpoint for a datafile that was too old to take an incremental backup from, or the target of an incremental restore that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.


ORA-19641 backup datafile checkpoint is SCN string time string

Cause: This message identifies the checkpoint of a datafile in an incremental backup set that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.


ORA-19642 incremental-start SCN is string

Cause: This message identifies the starting SCN of an incremental backup that could not be applied.

Action: See other error message.


ORA-19643 datafile string: incremental-start SCN is too recent

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an incremental datafile backup is greater than the datafile checkpoint SCN, which could cause some blocks to be missed.

Action: Specify a smaller incremental-start SCN.


ORA-19644 datafile string: incremental-start SCN is prior to resetlogs SCN string

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an incremental datafile backup is less than the resetlogs SCN.

Action: Specify a larger incremental-start SCN.


ORA-19645 datafile string: incremental-start SCN is prior to creation SCN string

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an incremental datafile backup is less than the datafile's creation SCN.

Action: Specify a larger incremental-start SCN.


ORA-19646 cannot change size of datafile string from string to string

Cause: The indicated file was resized before this incremental backup was taken, but the incremental backup failed to set the file to the new size.

Action: Examine the other messages which should be present to indicate the cause of the failure.


ORA-19647 non-zero LEVEL cannot be specified when INCREMENTAL is FALSE

Cause: BackupSetDataFile was called with a non-zero BACKUP_LEVEL and a FALSE incremental indication.

Action: Either set incremental to TRUE or change BACKUP_LEVEL to zero.


ORA-19648 datafile string: incremental-start SCN equals checkpoint SCN

Cause: The incremental-start SCN which was specified when starting an incremental datafile backup is equal to the datafile's checkpoint SCN. Since an incremental backup can only be applied to a datafile whose checkpoint SCN is between the backup set incremental-start SCN (inclusive) and the backup set checkpoint SCN (exclusive), there is no datafile that this backup set could ever be applied to.

Action: Specify a smaller incremental-start SCN.


ORA-19649 offline-range record recid string stamp string not found in file string

Cause: applyOfflineRange was called with a RECID/stamp which was not found in the indicated control file. This probably means that the specified control file is no longer the same control file that Recovery Manager thinks it is.

Action: Specify the RECID/stamp of a record that exists in the control file copy.


ORA-19650 Offline-range record recid string stamp string in file string has SCN string

Cause: This messages identifies the offline-clean SCN from the indicated offline-range record in the indicated file.

Action: See other error message.


ORA-19651 cannot apply offline-range record to datafile string: SCN mismatch

Cause: applyOfflineRange cannot apply an offline-range record to a target datafile unless the datafile's checkpoint SCN exactly matches the offline-clean SCN in the specified offline-range record.

Action: Specify an offline-range record whose offline-clean SCN matches the target datafile's checkpoint.


ORA-19652 cannot apply offline-range record to datafile string: file is fuzzy

Cause: The target datafile for an applyOfflineRange call is fuzzy.

Action: Specify a target datafile that is closed cleanly.


ORA-19653 cannot switch to older file incarnation

Cause: SwitchToCopy was called with a datafile copy for a datafile that was dropped prior to the time this control file was backed up.

Action: Restore and mount an earlier control file. It is acceptable to use a control file that was backed up prior to the creation of the specified datafile.


ORA-19654 must use backup controlfile to switch file incarnations

Cause: This switchToCopy operation is attempting to switch incarnations of a datafile, but the currently mounted control file is not a backup control file.

Action: Restore and mount a backup control file.


ORA-19655 cannot switch to incarnation with different resetlogs data

Cause: This switchToCopy operation is attempting to switch to a datafile which comes from a different resetlogs version of the database.

Action: Either restore a backup control file that was taken from the same database version as the target datafile-copy, or switch to a different datafile-copy.


ORA-19656 cannot backup, copy, or delete online log string

Cause: The indicated log file is an active log. You can only backup, copy, or delete archived logs.

Action: The indicated log file cannot be processed. Select another file.


ORA-19657 cannot inspect current datafile string

Cause: The file being inspected is already part of the currently mounted database.

Action: No action required. The file is already part of the database.


ORA-19658 cannot inspect string - file is from different resetlogs

Cause: The resetlogs data in the log file being inspected does not match that in the currently mounted control file.

Action: The indicated file cannot be processed; inspect another file.


ORA-19659 incremental restore would advance file string past resetlogs

Cause: This incremental backup cannot be applied to the specified datafile, because the datafile is from an earlier incarnation of the database, and its checkpoint would be advanced too far to be recoverable in the current incarnation of the database.

Action: This incremental cannot be applied to this datafile. If you wish to recover the file to the resetlogs SCN so that the database can be opened with the RESETLOGS option, then you must use redo-log recovery, not incremental restore, to continue recovering this file.


ORA-19660 some files in the backup set could not be verified

Cause: A restore conversation was made to verify all the files in a backup set, and the files which were printed in messages 19661 or 19662 could not be verified because corrupt blocks for those files were found in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated files cannot be restored from this backup set.


ORA-19661 datafile string could not be verified

Cause: Some data blocks for the indicated datafile were corrupt in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated datafile cannot be restored from this backup set.


ORA-19662 archived log thread string sequence string could not be verified

Cause: Some data blocks for the indicated archived log were corrupt in the backup set.

Action: Unless the damage to the backup set can be repaired, the indicated archived log cannot be restored from this backup set.


ORA-19663 cannot apply current offline range to datafile string

Cause: An attempt was made to apply the current offline range to the specified datafile, but the datafile is either not current enough or is not at the correct SCN to apply the offline range.

Action: The datafile remains unchanged.


ORA-19664 file type: string, file name: string

Cause: This message is issued to identify the file which is the subject of an error.

Action: No action required. This is an informational message. There should be other Oracle messages explaining the cause of the error.


ORA-19665 size string in file header does not match actual file size of string

Cause: The size of the file as indicated in the file header does not match the true size of the file. The two differing sizes are shown in units of logical blocks.

Action: This file is not usable; it has most likely been truncated.


ORA-19666 cannot do incremental restore of the controlfile

Cause: The control file was included in an incremental restore conversation

Action: If you wish to restore the control file, you must do a full restore of the control file.


ORA-19667 cannot do incremental restore of datafile string

Cause: The backup of the datafile is a full backup.

Action: If you wish to restore the datafile, you must do a full restore of the datafile.


ORA-19668 cannot do full restore of datafile string

Cause: The backup of the datafile is an incremental backup.

Action: If you wish to restore the datafile, you must do an incremental restore of the datafile.


ORA-19669 proxy copy functions cannot be run on DISK channel

Cause: A proxy copy procedure was called, but the device which is allocated to the current session has type DISK.

Action: Allocate a non-DISK channel and retry the operation. Note that proxy copy requires a third-party media management software product that supports the this backup/restore feature.


ORA-19670 file string already being restored

Cause: A proxy restore function has already named this file as a restore destination.

Action: Use a different file name. If this message occurs during a Recovery Manager job, then this is an internal error in Recovery Manager, and you should contact Oracle Support Services.


ORA-19671 media management software returned invalid proxy handle

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, the media management software returned an invalid file handle. This is an internal error in the media management software which is linked with Oracle to provide backup/restore services.

Action: Contact the media management software vendor.


ORA-19672 media management software returned invalid file status

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, the media management software returned an invalid file status. This is an internal error in the media management software which is linked with Oracle to provide backup/restore services.

Action: Contact the media management software vendor.


ORA-19673 error during proxy copy of file string

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, an error occurred while copying this file, but other files may have been copied successfully.

Action: There should be other errors on the error stack which explain why the file could not be successfully copied.


ORA-19674 file string is already being backed up with proxy copy

Cause: Recovery Manager attempted to back up the specified file with proxy copy, but the file is already being backed up by another Recovery Manager job.

Action: Wait until the other Recovery Manager backup of this file is complete, then retry the backup.


ORA-19675 file string was modified during proxy copy

Cause: A proxy backup of the specified file failed because the file was brought online or otherwise modified while the proxy backup was in progress. This file was offline or read only when the backup began, so the file was not put into hot-backup mode, therefore no modifications are permitted while the backup is in progress.

Action: Take another backup of this file.


ORA-19676 one or more files failed during proxy backup or restore

Cause: During a proxy backup or restore, errors were encountered while processing some files. The files for which no error messages are shown were processed successfully.

Cause: This is most likely caused by an invalid SCN number that came from an external file, such as an export file.

Action: See other errors on the error stack to look for the source of the problem.


ORA-19721 Cannot find datafile with absolute file number string in tablespace string

Cause: Cannot find one of the data files that should be in the pluggable set.

Action: Make sure all datafiles are specified via import command line option or parameter files.


ORA-19722 datafile string is an incorrect version

Cause: The datafile is an incorrect version. It contains either less or more changes then the desired version.

Action: Make sure the right datafiles are transported. Make sure the datafile is copied while its tablespace is read only.


ORA-19723 Cannot recreate plugged in read-only datafile string

Cause: The datafile is plugged in read only. It cannot re-created.

Action: Use ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE command instead.


ORA-19724 snapshot too old: snapshot time is before file string plug-in time

Cause: The snapshot SCN is before the SCN at which the referred datafile is plugged into the database.

Action: retry the query.


ORA-19725 can not acquire plug-in enqueue

Cause: There maybe another ALTER DATABASE RESET COMPATIBILITY command issued concurrently, preventing this process from acquiring the plug-in enqueue.

Action: Retry the operation.


ORA-19726 cannot plug data [string] at level string into database running at compatibility level string

Cause: Some of the data in the pluggable set requires a compatibility level higher than what is currently allowed by the database. The string in square bracket is the name of the compatibility type associated with the data.

Action: Raise the value of the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter and retry the operation.


ORA-19727 cannot plug data [string] at level string into database running Oracle string

Cause: Some of the data in the pluggable set requires a compatibility level higher than the release level of the Oracle executable. The string in square bracket is the name of the compatibility type associated with the data.

Action: Upgrade Oracle and retry the operation.


ORA-19728 data object number conflict between table string and partition string in table string

Cause: The non-partitioned table has the same data object number as one of the partitions in the partitioned table. One cannot exchange the table with the partition in this case.

Action: Use the ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION command to move the offending partition, so that the partition will get a new data object number. Retry the operation then.


ORA-19729 File string is not the initial version of the plugged in datafile

Cause: The file is not the initial version of the plugged in datafile.

Action: Use the correct initial version of the plugged in datafile.


ORA-19730 can not convert offline plugged-in datafile string

Cause: As part of making a tablespace read-write, we need to convert datafiles that are plugged in read only. The file must be online.

Action: Bring the datafile online and retry the operation.


ORA-19731 cannot apply change to unverified plugged-in datafile string

Cause: Recovery was not able to verify the referred datafile according to information in the control file. Before encountering this change vector for this file, somehow recovery did not encounter the file conversion redo that is supposed to verify the file. This may happen due to corrupted or incorrect control file used for media recovery.

Action: Use the correct control file and continue recovery.


ORA-19732 incorrect number of datafiles for tablespace string

Cause: The number of datafiles in the export file for the referred tablespace is not the same as expected. This is most likely caused by a user editing the export file.

Action: Use the correct export file and retry the operation.


ORA-19733 COMPATIBLE parameter needs to be string or greater

Cause: The COMPATIBLE initialization parameter is not high enough to allow the operation. Allowing the command would make the database incompatible with the release specified by the current COMPATIBLE parameter.

Action: Shutdown and restart with a higher compatibility setting.


ORA-19734 wrong creation SCN - control file expects converted plugged-in datafile

Cause: When a tablespace is plugged into a database, the tablespace is initially read only. Oracle converts the header of the plugged-in datafiles (assign them a new creation SCN) when the tablespace is first made read-write. This error occurs when the creation SCN in the file header is different from the creation SCN in the control file, possibly because this is the initial version of plugged-in datafile.

Action: Either restore the converted datafile or continue recovering the datafile.


ORA-19735 wrong creation SCN - control file expects initial plugged-in datafile

Cause: When a tablespace is plugged into a database, the tablespace is initially read only. Oracle converts the header of the plugged-in datafiles (assign them a new creation SCN) when the tablespace is first made read-write. This error occurs when the creation SCN in the file header is different from the creation SCN in the control file, possibly because this is the converted datafile.

Action: Either restore the initial version of the plugged-in datafile, or continue database recovery, which will recover the control file.


ORA-19736 can not plug a tablespace into a database using a different national character set

Cause: Oracle does not support plugging a tablespace into a database using a different national character set.

Action: Use import/export or unload/load to move data instead.


ORA-19999 skip_row procedure was called

Cause: The SKIP_ROW procedure was called which raises this error.

Action: SKIP_ROW should only be called within a trigger or a procedure called by a trigger.


ORA-20000 string

Action: Check that all NLS environment variables are well-formed.


ORA-21560 argument string is null, invalid, or out of range

Cause: The argument is expecting a non-null, valid value but the argument value passed in is null, invalid, or out of range. Examples include when the LOB/FILE positional or size argument has a value outside the range 1 through (4GB - 1), or when an invalid open mode is used to open a file, and so on.

Action: Check your program and correct the caller of the routine to not pass a null, invalid or out-of-range argument value.


ORA-21561 OID generation failed

Cause: The handles passed in may not be valid.

Action: Check the validity of the env, svc handles.


ORA-21600 path expression too long

Cause: The path expression that is supplied by the user is too long. The path expression is used to specify the position of an attribute in an object. This error occurs when one of the intermediate elements in the path expression refers to an attribute of a built-in type. Thus, the OCI function cannot proceed on to process the rest of the elements in the path expression.

Action: Pass in the correct path expression to locate the attribute.


ORA-21601 attribute is not an object

Cause: The user attempts to perform an operation (that is valid only for an object) to an attribute of a built-in type. An example of such an illegal operation is to dynamically set a null structure to an attribute of a built-in type.

Action: Avoid performing such operation to an attribute of built-in type.

ORA-22275 invalid LOB locator specified

Cause: There are several causes:

  1. The LOB locator was never initialized
  2. The locator is for a BFILE and the routine expects a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB locator
  3. The locator is for a BLOB/CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects a BFILE locator
  4. Trying to update the LOB in a trigger body -- LOBs in trigger bodies are read-only
  5. The locator is for a BFILE/BLOB and the routine expects a CLOB/NCLOB locator
  6. The locator is for a CLOB/NCLOB and the routine expects a BFILE/BLOB locator

Action: For (1), initialize the LOB locator by selecting into the locator variable or by setting the LOB locator to empty. For (2),(3), (5), and (6),pass the correct type of locator into the routine. For (4), remove the trigger body code that updates the LOB value.


ORA-22276 invalid locator for LOB buffering

Cause: One of the following:

  1. The locator was never enabled for buffering.
  2. It is not an updated locator but is being used for a write/flush operation.

Action: For (1) enable the locator for buffering; (2) ensure that only an updated locator is used for a LOB update operation.


ORA-22277 cannot use two different locators to modify the same LOB

Cause: LOB buffering is enabled and an attempt was made to modify the LOB using two different LOB locators.

Action: When using LOB buffering, modify the LOB through one LOB locator only.


ORA-22278 must update the LOB only through the LOB buffers

Cause: LOB buffering is enabled for this LOB and there are buffers for this LOB in the buffer pool. Thus, updating the LOB through means other than the LOB buffers is not allowed.

Action: Update the LOB through the LOB buffers using the locator that has LOB buffering enabled. If this operation is required, buffers associated with this LOB should either be flushed as necessary or buffering should be disabled. Once this is done, reissue the command.


ORA-22279 cannot perform operation with LOB buffering enabled

Cause: The operation attempted is not allowed when LOB buffering is enabled.

Action: If the operation 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 command.


ORA-22280 no more buffers available for operation

Cause: One of the following:

  1. All buffers in the buffer pool have been used up by previous operations.
  2. An attempt was made to flush a LOB without any previous buffered update operations.

Action: For (1), flush the LOB(s) through the locator that is being used to update the LOB. For (2), write to the LOB through a locator enabled for buffering before attempting to flush buffers.


ORA-22281 cannot perform operation with an updated locator

Cause: The input locator has buffering enabled and was used to update the LOB value through the LOB buffering subsystem. The modified buffer has not been flushed since the write that was performed by the input locator; thus, the input locator is considered an updated locator. Updated locators cannot be the source of a copy operation. Only one locator per LOB may be used to modify the LOB value through the LOB buffering subsystem.

Action: Depending on whether the modifications made through the input locator to the LOB buffering subsystem should be written to the server, either flush the buffer to write the modifications, or, disable buffering on the locator to discard the modifications. Then, reissue the command.


ORA-22282 non-contiguous append to a buffering enabled LOB not allowed

Cause: The buffered write operation has an input offset value more than one byte or character past the end of the LOB.

Action: Specify an input offset value which is exactly one character or byte greater than the length of the LOB that you are attempting to update through a buffered write operation.


ORA-22283 filename contains characters that refer to parent directory

Cause: Filename contains a path "../" which references a parent directory.

Action: Ensure that the filename does not contain characters which reference a parent directory.


ORA-22285 non-existent directory or file for string operation

Cause: An attempt was made to access a directory that does not exist, or attempted to access a file in a directory that does not exist.

Action: Ensure that a system object corresponding to the specified directory exists in the database dictionary, or make sure the name is correct.


ORA-22286 insufficient privileges on file or directory to perform string operation

Cause: The user does not have the necessary access privileges on the directory alias and/or the file for the operation.

Action: Ask the database/system administrator to grant the required privileges on the directory alias and/or the file.


ORA-22287 invalid or modified directory occurred during string operation

Cause: The directory alias used for the current operation is not valid if being accessed for the first time, or has been modified by the database administrator since the last access.

Action: If you are accessing this directory for the first time, provide a valid directory name. If you have been already successful in opening a file under this directory before this error occurred, then close the file and retry the operation with a valid directory alias as modified by your database administrator. Oracle recommends that directories should be modified only during quiescent periods.


ORA-22288 file or LOB operation string failed string

Cause: The operation attempted on the file or LOB failed.

Action: See the next error message in the error stack for more detailed information. Also, verify that the file or LOB exists and that the necessary privileges are set for the specified operation. If the error still persists, report the error to the database administrator.


ORA-22289 cannot perform string operation on an unopened file or LOB

Cause: The file or LOB is not open for the required operation to be performed.
