No complete checkpoint - cannot allocate new log

• Cannot allocate New Log Error and transactions

  Oracle 9.2.0.4
  
  The user runs a report that executes PL/SQL. A SELECT dynamiic statement is generated and executed. This particular request is long term and ends when an error message "Unable to allocate new logs" appears in the database alert log file. The report shows no selected data. No Oracle error have been raised/caught in the trap during the course of the PL/SQL report. Immediately, the user runs the same exact report again and gets the selected data.
  
  My questions:
  
  Can the occurrence of an "Unable to allocate new logs" entry to the database alert file cause queries to long term to retrieve any data?
  Can there be a setting in the database triggers an error ORA - so that the report could identify when this happens?
  
  I know that the DBA should treat the cause. I just want to know what the report of PL/SQL can do to intercept it when it arrives.
  
  Thank you

  Can the occurrence of an "Unable to allocate new logs" entry to the database alert file cause queries to long term to retrieve any data?

  Unless there is a software bug, 'impossible to allocate new log' can freeze the instance of database for a while, but that's all.

  Can there be a setting in the database triggers an error ORA - so that the report could identify when this happens?

  As far as I know, no.

  9.2.0.4 is an Oracle either fully supported version. You must spend at least 10g.

• Thread 1 cannot allocate new logs, 714 - Checkpoint sequence is not complete

  I work in a database of Oracle 10 g running on RHEL. The alert_*.log file is to turn off this type of text for the past months:

  Ideas to get pointed in the right direction is appreciated.
  
  Thank you in advance,

  This message indicates that Oracle wants to re-use a redo log file, but the current position of the control point is always in this newspaper. In this case, Oracle must wait until the position of the control point passes this newspaper. Because the objective of additional control point never accused tail current log more than 90% of the smallest size of log file, this situation might be met if DBWR writing too slowly, or if a log switch occurs before the log is completely filled,
  or if the size of the log files is too small. When the database is waiting on the checkpoints, redo generation is stopped until the journal is made.

  This message indicates that Oracle wants to re-use a redo log file, but
  the
  associated with corresponding control point is not over. In this case,.
  Oracle
  Wait for the control point is carried out entirely. This situation
  may be encountered especially when transactional activity is
  important.

  search for:
  -Background checkpoint started.
  -Control your mat point.

  These two statistics should not differ more than once. If it is

  not true, your base weighs on the control points. LGWR does not reach
  continue
  next write operations that ends the control points.

  Three reasons may explain this difference:

  -A frequency of control points which is too high.
  -A control points are starting but not filling not
  -One DBWR writing too slowly.

  How to resolve incomplete control points is through tuning
  control points and
  newspapers:

  (1) gives the checkpoint process more time to scroll through newspapers
  -Add more redo log groups
  -increase the size of the logs again
  (2) to reduce the frequency of control points
  -increase the LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL
  -increase the size of newspapers in restoration online
  (3) improve the effectiveness of the control points for the CKPT process
  CHECKPOINT_PROCESS = TRUE
  (4) set LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT = 0. This disables the verification script
  based on
  time interval.
  (5) another way to solve this error is for DBWR to write quickly
  the dirty
  buffers to disk. The parameter associated with this task is:

  DB_BLOCK_CHECKPOINT_BATCH.

  DB_BLOCK_CHECKPOINT_BATCH specifies the number of blocks that are
  dedicated
  inside the batch size for writing the control points. When you want to
  speed up
  control points, it is necessary to increase this value.

• Desktop icons have all disappeared completely and cannot add new ones to the desktop display.

• AMT: cannot allocate memory - is there limit to the databases on a single box num

  Hello
  
  Specification of the server:
  Windows 2008 R2 x 64 with all updates applied
  
  Oracle 11.2.0.1 Standard Edition with Patch 16 applied (which corresponds to all the live database version)
  
  10 GB OF RAM
  
  I have a standby server that has all my databases to watch over him
  
  Recently, I added about 8 new databases on hold to take to 102 and since then I get an intermittent error of TNS. AMT-12531: TNS: cannot allocate memory
  
  I have scripts that loop in all databases one at a time, they start the standby database, apply the new recovery logs archived and close the database
  
  It worked perfectly for years but I started having problems after you have added a few other databases, it probably defective 1-3 times so it is inconsistent.
  
  With all databases only idling server use 6 GB out of the 10 GB RAM available so there is a lot of memory free
  
  If I withdraw half a dozen databases in the scripts, it starts working again.
  
  I created 2 new listeners and divide the databases for the half to run on a single listener and the other half on the other, there are still intermittent outages
  
  Server has been restarted several times and sometimes travel a couple of times before failing and sometimes will fail in the first inning thanks to
  
  Failures are normally towards the end of the script, IE. has applied the newspapers to 95 databases and fails when the 96th!
  
  I reorded the data bases in the script and it still fails at the end, not on a specific database
  
  I also added restarts listeners for scripts that made no difference
  
  I've now changed my scripts, then real windows service does not work for databases and the script makes a net start before applying the newspapers and a net stop eventually. She's now going through without a problem but I would go to the bottom of the issue and keep windows running services in the starting and stopping of their adds time for labour to apply the logs across all databases

  Have you tried a note

  AMT-12531 on Windows 64-bit [ID 1384337.1]

  I created 2 new listeners and divide the databases for the half to run on a single listener and the other half on the other, there are still intermittent outages

  I don't think that you need several headphones if a listener is enough to support all of your databases running on a server.

• Is impossible to turn on the guest account. Cannot create new user account. "The service user profile Service has no logon. User profile cannot be loaded. »

  Is impossible to turn on the guest account.  Cannot create new user account.  After to try one of those and reboot, the icons of account appear, but when you try to use, the following instructions of error present when you try to log in with the new account or comments: "the user profile Service service has no logon.  User profile cannot be loaded. "I looked at the answers to all the previous ones (including the KB947215) and no not to address specifically.  For the most part, they seem to assume that there is a guest or a new profile in the first place...

  The system is Win 7 Pro 64-bit with all available updates.  I can't say when the last time that the guest account has worked (rarely used) and just found out I can't do new additional user, accounts trying to solve the problem of account of comments... so I have not tried to enter Safe Mode and do a system restore , because I can't yet identify a useful restore point...

  There are no entries in the registry for a guest or a new standard user account.  The registry entries for the three accounts normal-quickly (2 x admin, 1 x level) seem to be appropriate.  Watch register computer/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

  [Plan B - I found one thread where one user said that the same symptoms of the problem that you experience this problem solved]

  Plan h - while another user said that it was caused by a file Windows Live problem

  This is the thread I can not create a new user account (Windows 7): the user profile service service doesn't have the logon

  You find it difficult to follow the thread as it's long and reported problem by different people to confuse it and there is also a bit of bickering [long filaments often end up being quite incomprehensible].

  ..., See references to the event viewer in the middle of page 4 and Windows Live we [at the bottom of page 2 more on page 3].

  I see not the logic of the any of those things, but if one of them do things long enough that you are trying to create new accounts that works, you will know how in the future until a proper solution is found.

  This is the useful part where this user has tested the solutions proposed in this thread linked above: -.

  This has proved to contain leads to a difficulty.  Have to admit, when I read everything the first time, several days, I did indeed find it confusing and even the parts that I "heard" (sorta) does not appear to be related to my symptoms.

  It turns out that the answer of JDMICHAL May 17, 2011 contained this:

  (1) C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows open live
  (2) this directory has two subdirectories with a single file of each. Go into each directory and apply the following:
  (a) make a right click on the file, open the properties.
  (b) click the Security tab.
  (c) it will issue a message: "to continue, you must be an administrative user with permission to view this object's security properties. Would continue you? ». Click on the button continue.

  (f) ensure that the new "Everyone" entry "read" and "read & run" check under the column "allow".

  After doing this for two files, attempt to connect to the account. He must undergo.

  The procedure (bascially) worked... Although the different answers on my system differed slightly along the way (perhaps due to the slightly different versions of Win 7?, because I was already logged in as an administrator?).

  In any case, "Everyone" with the read and read/execute permissions adding to these two files seems to have done the trick:

• Calc Dynamics Processor cannot allocate more than 350 the heap block of

  Dear users of Essbase,

  I am trying to implement some logic in order to get my calc done by dynamic calc and formula on members.

  My dynamic member calc with formula is not limited to offsetting the conditional statement to the role of alternative only, I see no problem.

  But in order to get the correct result, I include under condition ISMBR statement and restrict level 0 patch replacement on a sparse Member, I get this ' error Essbase (10127000): dynamic calc processor cannot allocate more than the blocks [350] from the jump. The parameter CalcLockBlock is too low or the size of data cache setting is too low. Increase the setting of the CalcLockBlock or the size of data cache setting and then try again '

  IF (@ISMBR (@RELATIVE("ALTERNATIVEROLLUP",0)))

  IF (@ISUDA ("SCENARIO", "XXX"))

  do something...

  ENDIF

  ENDIF

  I looked through this forum and tried to fix my problem in making changes on Essbase.cfg of DATACACHESIZE and DATAFILECACHESIZE values.

  I also checked in the settings of CALCLOCKBLOCK and the error message shows his tent to allocate more than the default value no. blocks that is 350 blocks in my tests.

  I have CALCLOCKBLOCK with HIGH as 4900, settings default than 350. Hope this is good enough.

  As it is on the dynamic calc and formula approach based on, would like to know how to face this question set.

  If you have encountered this problem would like to take suggestions. Thank you.

  Kind regards

  Praveen

  Of course, JM, it was my test script.

  I would like to change my script to be the best :-).

  And I could get rid of the Essbase error in improving more all hides and CALCLOCKBLOCK parameters.

  The operating current system cann't be changed to try chaning type of dimension and other changes required for the TBLAST property. It is one of the obligation that I work. Then try my best to correct and come out with the best solution.

  It is easy to build the new app with fresh demands to try to include new features to the existing system.

  Thanks a ton for your time and your suggestions.

• Cannot allocate 0.002 MB memory... I have 32 GB of RAM

  Hi all

  I've upgraded to the new version of After Effects 11/30 and I always get this message:

  Cannot allocate 0.002 MB memory reduce memory for rendering of this framework requirements, or install more RAM. (12803 3D camera data / standard). For more information, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_mem (5027: 3)

  When I purge the cache of the memory and the disk is not much except change the error to a (0: 39) or (7: 5)

  I went to the quarter to frame (10 x 15) custom resolution...

  I have 32 GB of RAM and After Effects use 20-29 gb as seen on my application for management tasks on El Capitan.

  It was produced after about 30 minutes of use with no problems. So if I saw my composition I get all these error messages continue to appear after I press ok making it difficult to work on my project. Finally, I restart my computer that solves the problem for 15-20 minutes until I need to redo a reboot.

  For now, the only solution I've come across uses an older version of AE. It bothers me that this happens to the newest version that I prefer to work with an adverse event to date...

  Best,

  What is the exact version of 2015 for CC number that you use? There is a big difference in performance between 13.5.0 and 13.7.2!

  How you establish previews? You have the cache before reading to checked in your preview? What are the parameters of your memory?

  What version do you use that works correctly? (Full version number to please.)

  And the vmdk disk file:

  # Disk DescriptorFile

  version = 1

  Encoding = 'UTF-8 '.

  CID = 4ed52c7e

  parentCID = ffffffff

  isNativeSnapshot = 'no '.

  createType = "vmfs".

  # Description of the measure

  RW 629145600 VMFS "JD-5-manager_1 - flat hard."

  # The database disk

  #DDB

  DDB. Deletable = 'true '.

  ddb.virtualHWVersion = '8 '.

  ddb.longContentID = "8264138edeb9f6fb2afaf3be4ed52c7e".

  DDB. UUID = "60 00 C2 98 c9 03 10 f9 - 19 1A 34 a1 ba e3 1 c c3"

  DDB. Geometry.Cylinders = "39162.

  DDB. Geometry.Heads = "255".

  DDB. Geometry.sectors = "63".

  ddb.thinProvisioned = '1 '.

  ddb.adapterType = "free".

  As you can see that the parentCID is the correct setting for a vmdk with no snapshots.

  Tips to solve this problem?

  Thank you kindly.

  After asking, I checked the vmkwarning log and found the following:

  Which leads me to the following VMware KB: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004424

  Using PowerCLI, I checked the total size of all the VMDK files on a member of the cluster with the following command:

  PowerCLI > Get-hard drive - Datastore |-ExpandProperty CapacityGB select | measure - sum - ave - max - min

  County: 78

  Average: 197.730180789263

  Sum: 15422.9541015625

  Maximum: 544.49609375

  Minimum: 50

  Property:

  According to this article, the maximum size supported all open VMDK files was only 8 TB, so I was much higher than that, so fall on issues.

  I adjusted the VMFS3. MaxHeapSizeMB at the maxmum 256 MB to compensate and that solved this problem.
