ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection

Posted by on March 27, 2012 2 comments

Problem:

Unable to connect to SQL:

F:oracleVIS12dbtech_st11.1.0>sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL*Plus: Release 11.1.0.7.0 - Production on Tue Mar 27 11:31:04 2012

Copyright (c) 1982, 2008, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

ERROR:
ORA-12518: TNS:listener could not hand off client connection

Solution:

Increase PROCESSES initialization parameter.

Use the following command to check the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter in SQL*Plus:

show parameter processes

If the database was started using an spfile, then the following command can be used to change the PROCESSES initialization parameter to 500:

alter system set processes=500 scope=spfile;

If the database was started using a pfile, then the value of the processes parameter must be changed in the pfile and the database bounced.

Problem:

After installing 11g on Oracle Linux 5, the database was not automatically created. After exiting OUI and manually running dbca, the following error appears:

File /etc/oratab is not accessible.

Solution:

The script root.sh was not run. Log on as the root user and then run $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh (usually /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/root.sh).

Posted by on March 14, 2012 No comments

Problem:

After installing 11g on Oracle Linux 5 and running SQL*Plus, the following error appears:

sqlplus: error while loading shared libraries: /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1/lib/libnnz11.so:

Creating additional Linux swapfile

Posted by on March 12, 2012 No comments

Problem:

After installing Linux in a virtual machine, the memory is increased from 512MB to 1536MB. The swap file must be increased as well, but there is no additional hard drive space or partitions to increase the swap partition.

Solution:

Create a new swap file:

1. As the root user, create a 3072MB swap file (block size=1024 bytes, count=1024*3072 blocks):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=3145728

2. Create swap file in swapfile1:

mkswap /swapfile1

3. Set file permissions for swapfile1:

chmod 0600 /swapfile1

4. Turn on swapfile:

swapon /swapfile1

5. Add swapfile to fstab:

Edit /etc/fstab and add the following line:

/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0

-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Posted by on March 8, 2012 No comments

Problem:

While following online instructions for installing E-Business Suite, it is advised to add the following code to /etc/profile:

if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
 if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
 ulimit -p 16384
 ulimit -n 65536
 else
 ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
 fi
fi

However, when a user logs on, the following message appears:

-bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

Solution:

Set the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf, not /etc/profile. Follow E-Business Suite installation documentation on My Oracle Support, not online!
