ORA-00257 - Archives Error And Impossible To Connect As Sysdba

Apr 8, 2013

I have a problem with my Oracle istance and so far I couldn't fix it, I have and Oracle 11g XE istance running on windows server 2003.A couple of days ago I received the error message "ORA-00257: archiver error".I found tips in this forum and wanted to apply but sqlplus doesn't recognize my SYS user/password. I type the correct password but no chance to log in.

If I try to connect using a client like Toad, I receive the message ORA-12170: TNS:Connect timeout occurred. I checked the firewall rules, but it's ok, moreover I was logging in in the past and any change has been performed on it. I learned it's possible to change SYS password.

If I connect as "/ as sysdba" on sqlplus I read "Connected to an idle istance".In order to connect as "/" I had to update sqlnet.ora and restart the service. The parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES

was set as NONE ad I set as NTS. I should probably have to set it as ALL? I found out the orapwd utility to change SYS password throught password file for remote login as sysdba.

I tried to create that file, and when I ran the command it asked me the SYS password, I typed it and it created the file, so I guess the password I type is correct (I had the question to type it wrong). I didn't go to the next step as I wasn't sure to make the right thing and I don't want to make this issue bigger.

As long as I can't log in as sysdba I can't perform the actions mentioned in tips to fix the error 257, but I'm also wondering if the archive error can have a side effect and deny the action of update the SYS password.

Server Administration :: ORA-00257 Archiver Error

Sep 21, 2011

While connecting to one of the dev database I am getting following error:-

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

But when i am checking as sys user there is no archive desination defined in the db.I mean log_archive_dest locations have not been given any value.Where can I check Archive destination in this scenario.Is there any default place where oracle stores archive logs incase log_archive_dest is not given any value.

PCI - Auditing Connect / As Sysdba - Connections?

Feb 15, 2012

I have a problem with a PCI DSS - requirement in Oracle 11.2. (PCI DSS = Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)

Problem:

we connect via ' ssh -2 -X -l oracle hostname ' to the databaseserver and become os-user 'oracle'. we have also two offshore locations with dba's and each dba comes with his personalized user to the jumphost and then with the above ssh command to the database server.

the problem is that each dba becomes the oracle-os-account and can now connect with '/ as sysdba' to the database.in pci-dss this is not allowed !

now my question:how can I audit these '/ as sysdba'-connections and prove which user connected at which time with the '/ as sysdba' command ?

database is in audit mode. we log to syslog on linus redhat 5. I know one solution could be setting "SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES" parameter to "NONE" in sqlnet.ora file will make it not possible to connect to the database without a password as sysdba. (sqlplus / as sysdba). but we have to many applications and jobs and this is not really the solution in this case.

I think I can only solve this problem with personalized OS-user DBA-accounts in the dba-goup on os-site and os-user oracle should not be used for the future ?? I also need personalized dba-user-accounts in the database. using sys and system is not allowed. this users has to be locked and only for special administration work could it be unlocked.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Alias Used In Start By Connect With Program Gives Error

May 3, 2011

We have a query which uses start by and connect with method. this query works fine in our earlier version 10. But when we migrated to 11g, we are facing problem with the query.

Scenario 1:
------------
There is a table in Schema 1 and created a view for the same.

Table : create table alias_test1 ( A varchar2(10),B varchar(10),C varchar2(20),D varchar2(40), E varchar2(10),F number(1));
View: create or replace view alias_vw1
as select A, B,C,D, E,F from alias_test1

Values :
Insert into A.ALIAS_TEST1 (A, B, C, D, E, F)
Values ('Block1', '136', 'TOTBANK', 'Total Bank', ' ', 1);
Insert into A.ALIAS_TEST1 (A, B, C, D, E, F)
Values ('Block2', '136', 'PPRSEGHKB', 'HKB', 'TOTBANK', 2);

Now in the schema B, created a synonym for the view to access. create synonym alias_vw1 for alias_vw1@link.world

Query :
select srl_no,cde,pdesc,lvl,is_leaf,hcy
from( select srl_no,
cde, pdesc, level lvl,
connect_by_isleaf is_leaf,
Ltrim(replace(sys_connect_by_path (rpad(Trim(cde),19,' '),'~'),'~',' ')) hcy

Connect From A Remote Client / Received Error Of No Listener

Dec 24, 2007

We installed Oracle 10g on one of our servers and configured the listener to host=localhost. Here's our listener.ora file:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
[code]...

After restarting the listener, we could connect using the connect identifier from the local server. However, when trying to connect from a remote client we received the error of "no listener". In the remote client the identifier is defined with host=ip_address. TNSping from the client to the host was successful.

When we changed listener.ora to host=up_address we could connect ONLY from the remote computer. Only after changing the host in tnsnames.ora file to the IP as well - we could connect from both the local server and the remote client.

I usually use host=localhost in the listener file (and the local tnsnames file) and never had this problem before.
