DRG-10700

Error:

Error DRG-10700: preference does not exist: CTXSYS.DEFAULT_LEXER

Reason:

This error indicates that you do not have any preferences installed. When installing the Oracle® server software, the InterMedia should get installed automatically with the default preferences. These are dependent on the operating system language. You can install the French preference if the language of your Oracle server is French, or the English one if the language of your Oracle server is English.

Action:

Install the appropriate language-specific default preferences. There are scripts in …/ctx/admin/defaults which create language-specific default preferences. They are named in the form of drdefXX.sql, where XX is the language code (from the Server Reference Manual).

To install the US defaults, for instance:

sqlplus ctxsys/<password> @defaults/drdefus.sql

To install the French defaults, for instance:

sqlplus ctxsys/<password> @defaults/drdeffrc.sql

Grant ‘all privileges’ to ctxsys within Oracle.

After these steps, the InterMedia Context server should start.

ORA-00257

Error:

ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.

Reason:

File recovery area is above specified size.

Action:

Without increasing DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE :

1. Check whether the database is in archive log mode and automatic archiving is enabled.

 SQL> archive log list;
 Database log mode              Archive Mode
 Automatic archival             Enabled
 Archive destination            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
 Oldest online log sequence     29
 Next log sequence to archive   31
 Current log sequence           31

2. If archive destination is defined by USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST, find the archive destination by:

SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest;
NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest                string      C:oracleproduct10.2.0/flash_recovery_area
db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 2G

Check what the value for db_recovery_file_dest_size.

3. Find the space used in flash recovery area by using following SQL:

col ROUND(SPACE_LIMIT/1048576) heading “Space Allocated (MB)” format 999999
col round(space_used/1048576) heading “Space Used (MB)” format 99999
col name format a40
select name, round(space_limit/1048576) As space_limit,round(space_used/1048576) As space_used
from v$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST;

4. If SPACE_USED is equal to SPACE_LIMIT of db_recovery_file_dest, move the archive logs to different destination.

5. Archive all the log files

SQL> alter system archive log all;

6. Just switch the logs to verify

 SQL> alter system switch logfile;

7. DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE is to delete (archive log) files from DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST if you are sure you have backups and the archived logs are no longer necessary.

$rman target / RMAN>delete archivelog until time ‘SYSDATE-1’; or, RMAN>delete archivelog all;

By increasing DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE :

SQL> show parameter db_recovery_file_dest;
NAME TYPE VALUE
———————————— ———– ——————————
db_recovery_file_dest string C:oracleproduct10.2.0/flash_recovery_area
db_recovery_file_dest_size big integer 2G

Check what the value for db_recovery_file_dest_size.

Increase the Flash Recovery Area

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_recovery_file_dest_size=’10G’ SCOPE=BOTH;
Sytem Altered.
