Troubleshooting with Oracle Database
Resolve the errors that you may come across while configuring the Oracle database.
| Issue | Description | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bad Interpreter Issue | A “bad interpreter” error is displayed on UNIX. | The first line of all scripts on UNIX must be as follows:
#!/usr/bin/sh Check whether or not the first line of the UNIX script follows this format. You can also create a soft link as follows: ln -s /bin/sh /usr/bin/sh |
| Insufficient Shared Memory Issue | Oracle database error, unable to allocate required shared memory. (ORA-04031: unable to allocate x bytes of shared memory). | This error is related to the insufficient shared pool size allocation. Consult Oracle documentation and your DBA to resolve it. Usually the error may be resolved by increasing the amount of available shared memory. |
| Inserting and Updating Data from ProcessLog and ProcessState Tables | Two errors are intermittently thrown when inserting or updating data the ProcessLog and ProcessState tables, even though the data to be inserted has a valid value and length. This error has been observed on Oracle 10.1.0.2.0.
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable |
Restarting the application server may resolve the issue temporarily.
