Cause: The environment variable ORACLE_SID is not set.
Action: Set the ORACLE_SID environment variable.
Cause: Cannot translate $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/sgadef$ORACLE_SID.dbf.
Action: Ensure that ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are properly set.
Cause: The address file could not be opened.
Action: Check that ORACLE is up. Check that the file $(ORACLE_HOME)/dbs/sgadef$(ORACLE_SID).dbf exists and has correct permissions.
Cause: The address file could not be read.
Action: Check that the file $(ORACLE_HOME)/dbs/sgadef$(ORACLE_SID).dbf exists and contains a single line of text.
Cause: The System Commit Number has not yet been initialized.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: Oracle requested that an I/O error be returned for this operation.
Action: This should not occur in normal Oracle operation. Contact support.
Cause: The n_core system call failed, maybe due to insufficient memory.
Action: Specify a smaller number of buffers. Check INIT.ORA parameters.
Cause: The process cannot attach to the SGA. This can happen if either the listener can’t attach, or the process cannot communicate with the listener.
Action: Verify that the instance is up and running. Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: Probably, the listener process has died.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: The n_core system call failed while detaching from the SGA.
Action: Note nCX error returned; contact your customer support representative.
Cause: The instance listener address cannot be read from the sgadef file.
Action: Verify $(ORACLE_HOME) and $(ORACLE_SID) are set correctly. Additional information gives error return from ora_addr.
Cause: A process wishing to attach to the SGA is on a different node from its instance’s listener.
Action: Verify $(ORACLE_HOME) and $(ORACLE_SID) are set correctly. Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: The n_share call failed, probably because the listener has died.
Action: Check if the listener is running, and contact your customer support representative.
Cause: Attempting to attach to an SGA which has not yet been created.
Action: Verify that the instance is running. Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: The n_core system call failed while detaching from the SGA.
Action: Check nCX error, and contact your customer support representative.
Cause: A recursive operation requiring audit was attempted in the middle of an auditing operation or an audit table movement operation. The most likely reason is that space management operations needed to free up space in the audit tablespace or a SQL operation on dictionary tables directly or using database triggers which produced more audit records.
Action: Check space in the tablespace for SYS.AUD$ or SYS.FGA_LOG$ and correct the problem. Or, if the problem was recursively auditing SQL operations, remove the audit configuration on such objects or statements.
Cause: A process could not connect to the nameserver.
Action: Make sure the nameserver is up and running. Additional information gives nameserver’s returned status.
Cause: The listener nameserver entry for an instance could not be found.
