This section lists messages generated by the DBMS_SYS_ERROR package.
Cause: The stored procedure RAISE_SYSTEM_ERROR was called to generate this message.
Action: Correct the problem described in the message or contact the application programmer or database administrator for more information.
Cause: Replication catalog determined deferred remote procedure call destinations were mixed with destination determined by other mechanisms in the same transaction.
Action: Do not mix destination types in the same transaction.
Cause: An application declared a communication failure during a deferred remote procedure call.
Action: Retry the application when communication is restored.
Cause: An application declared a generic failure during a deferred remote procedure call.
Action: Dependent on application.
Cause: A deferred remote procedure call was issued without the correct number of arguments as determined by the count parameter DBMS_DEFER.CALL.
Action: Ensure the number of arguments matches the count.
Cause: An internal error occurred in the deferred remote procedure call.
Action: Contact customer support.
Cause: The schema name was null or misspelled, or the schema does not exist locally.
Action: Specify the schema correctly, or create it with CREATE USER.
Cause: The given database already replicates the given schema.
Action: Choose a different schema or a different database.
Cause: The given name was null or misspelled, the given type was wrong, the object does not exist as a valid database object, or the object does not exist as a replicated object with the appropriate status.
Action: Ensure the object is valid in the database, is visible to the user, and, if appropriate, is a valid object in ALL_REPOBJECT.
Cause: An object in the same namespace exists, perhaps with a different type or shape, or the same object has already been registered as a REPOBJECT in another object group.
Action: Remove the offending object with the SQL DROP command, unregistered the offending object with DBMS_REPCAT.DROP_MASTER_REPOBJECT(), or re-invoke the request using TRUE for a boolean parameter such as RETRY or USE_EXISTING_OBJECT.
For more information about the DBMS_REPCAT package, see the index entry on "DBMS_REPCAT package" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The requested operation requires the object group to be suspended.
Action: Invoke SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY at the REPGROUP's MASTERDEF, wait until the status has changed to quiesced, and then retry the original request.
For more information about quiescing the replicated environment and suspending replication activity, see the index entries on "quiescing," "suspending replication activity," and "SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY has been called before the object group has resumed normal operation.
Action: If a RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY request is pending, wait until it completes, and then re-invoke SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY. For more information about quiescing the replicated environment and resuming replication activity, see the index entries on "quiescing," "resuming replication activity," "SUSPEND_MASTER_ACTIVITY," and "RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The group name is null, the group name is misspelled, the invocation or given database is not the MASTERDEF, or one of the masters does not believe the invocation database is the MASTERDEF.
Action: If the given group name and MASTERDEF were both correct, connect to the MASTERDEF and retry the request, or relocate the MASTERDEF at the errant databases using RELOCATE_MASTERDEF. For more information about changing master definition sites, see the index entries on "recovery" and on "RELOCATE_MASTERDEF" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The group name is null, the group name is misspelled, the invocation database is not a master, or the invocation database does not believe the given database is a master.
Action: If the given group name was correct, connect to a current master and retry the request, make the invocation database a master with ADD_MASTER_DATABASE, or use SWITCH_SNAPSHOT_MASTER if the invocation database is a snapshot site. For more information about adding a master site and changing a snapshot site's master, see the index entries on "master sites, creating," "changing, master definition site," "ADD_MASTER_DATABASE," "SWITCH_SNAPSHOT_MASTER" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The invocation database is not a snapshot database for the given object group.
Action: Connect to the desired snapshot database and retry the request, or make the invocation database a snapshot site with CREATE_SNAPSHOT_REPSCHEMA or CREATE_SNAPSHOT_REPGROUP.
Cause: Either incompatible REPCAT versions are used, or a REPCATLOG record has been corrupted.
Action: Convert the master to a compatible version of REPCAT or retry the request.
Cause: One of the masters to be removed is the MASTERDEF.
Action: Relocate the MASTERDEF to a master that will not be removed, and then re-invoke the REMOVE_MASTER_DATABASES request at the new MASTERDEF.
Cause: The remote database is inaccessible.
Action: Ensure the remote database is running, the communications network is functioning, and the appropriate database links are present.
Cause: User-supplied or system-generated DDL did not execute successfully.
Action: Examine DDL, database state, REPCATLOG, and ALL_ERRORS to determine why the failure occurred.
Cause: The given value of a parameter is either null, misspelled, or not supported.
Action: Refer to the documentation and use parameter values that are appropriate for the given situation.
Cause: A missing DDL record for a REPCATLOG record, or inconsistency in REPCAT views.
Action: Retry the request, or make the views consistent.
Cause: A deferred remote procedure call parameter was longer than the deferred remote procedure call limit of 2000 bytes for CHAR/VARCHAR2 parameters and 255 bytes for raw parameters.
Action: Use smaller parameters.
Cause: The given error was encountered while attempting to create a DEFEROR entry for the given error code and the given database.
Action: Correct the cause of the given error.
Cause: A function in DBMS_DEFER_SYS_QUERY was called to retrieve a deferred remote procedure call parameter from the deferred remote procedure call queue, but the type of the parameter does not match the return type of the function.
Action: Use the function corresponding to the parameter type.
Cause: A deferred remote procedure call operation was attempted while the database was quiesced.
Action: Resume database activity with the DBMS_REPCAT.RESUME_MASTER_ACTIVITY call.
Cause: Deferred remote procedure call queues were imported from a database with a different global name or operating system than the importing database.
Action: Deferred remote procedure call data should only be imported into a database with the same global name and hardware and operating system.
Cause: When creating a snapshot through REPCAT, the snapshot base table did not match a replicated table name at the master.
Action: Change the snapshot DDL to use the same base table as the replicated table name at the master.
Cause: The DDL provided by the user to create a snapshot was executed without error, but snapshot does not exist.
Action: Manually back-out the DDL, and re-register with matching DDL and snapshot.
For more information about naming a snapshot base table, see the index entries on "snapshots, naming" and on "snapshots, base table" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The column group was already registered in the object group.
Action: Use a column group name not yet registered in the object group.
Cause: The given column group is either null, misspelled or not registered.
Action: Use a registered column group.
Cause: The given column group or priority group is being used to resolve conflicts.
Action: Call DBMS_REPCAT procedures DROP_UPDATE_RESOLUTION, DROP_DELETE_RESOLUTION, DROP_UNIQUE_RESOLUTION so that the column group or priority group is no longer in use before dropping.
Cause: Attempted to add a column to a column group when the column was already a member of a column group.
Action: Drop the column from its existing column group before trying to add it to another.
Cause: The given column is either null, misspelled or is not part of the given table or column group.
Action: Use a column that is a member of the table or column group.
Cause: The priority group was already registered in the object group.
Action: Use a column group name not yet registered in the object group.
Cause: The priority group was already registered in the object group.
Action: Use a priority group name not yet registered in the object group.
Cause: The specified value or priority has not been registered as part of the priority group.
Action: Either specify a different value or priority that is already part of the priority group, or add the value to the priority group.
Cause: The specified value or priority has already been registered as part of the priority group.
Action: Either specify a different value or priority that is not already part of the priority group, or drop the value from the priority group.
Cause: The specified combination of column group, sequence, conflict type and/or parameter table name, parameter column name, and parameter sequence number has already been registered.
Action: Verify that additional conflict resolution information needs to be added and provide a new sequence number. If modifying existing information, the existing information must be dropped first.
Cause: User function is specified when conflict resolution method was not "USER FUNCTION" or specified resolution method is not one of the predefined methods.
Action: If user function is specified when conflict resolution method was not "USER FUNCTION", either reregister function with method as "USER FUNCTION" or specify a NULL user function. Otherwise, specify one of the documented supported conflict resolution methods.
Cause: A NULL user function was specified for the "USER FUNCTION" method.
Action: Provide user function name, e.g., "schema"."package"."function", that conforms to the documented user function specifications or specify one of the documented supported conflict resolution methods.
Cause: The parameter column name is null or misspelled, the invocation database is not a master, or is of the wrong type for the specified conflict resolution method.
Action: Specify a parameter column from the specified column group that has a correct type for the conflict resolution method.
Cause: The specified combination of column group, sequence, conflict type has not been registered, for example, for adding a Comment.
Action: Specify a combination of column group, sequence, conflict type that has been registered.
Cause: A null, misspelled or nonexistent constraint was specified when registering a uniqueness conflict.
Action: Register a named constraint for the specified table.
Cause: A procedure that deals with conflict resolution statistics-gathering was called for a table that was not registered to collect statistics.
Action: Call DBMS_REPCAT.REGISTER_STATISTICS to register the table.
Cause: Trying to generate replication support for a table without a primary key as defined by a constraint or DBMS_REPCAT_COLUMNS.
Action: Add a primary key constraint to the table or define a primary key using DBMS_REPCAT_COLUMNS.
Cause: The table has a column whose datatype is not supported by REPCAT.
Action: Remove the column from the table, or alter the column to have one of the supported datatypes.
Cause: Trying to generate replication support for a package that has a procedure with OUT or IN OUT parameters.
Action: Remove the procedure from the package, or remove the OUT or IN OUT parameters from the procedure.
Cause: Trying to generate replication support for a package that has a public function, or for a stand-alone function.
Action: Remove the public function from the package, or alter the function to be a procedure.
Cause: This usually occurs when trying to resolve conflicts in a table while concurrent updates to the same row create more conflicts.
Action: Re-execute the deferred transaction from DEFERROR using DBMS_DEFER_SYS.EXECUTE_ERROR.
Cause: The procedure has a parameter whose datatype is not supported by REPCAT.
Action: Remove the parameter from the procedure, or alter the parameter to have one of the supported datatypes.
Cause: A duplicate destination was specified for a deferred transaction either in a DBMS_DEFER.CALL call or an earlier DBMS_DEFER.TRANSACTION call or a DBMS_DEFER_SYS.ADD_DEFAULT_DEST call.
Action: Remove the duplicate entry.
Cause: The requested action cannot be performed until the queue is empty for the given object group.
Action: Use DBMS_DEFER_SYS.EXECUTE or DBMS_DEFER_SYS.DELETE_TRAN to empty the queue.
For more information about forcing an execution of the deferred transaction queue and deleting a transaction in deferred transaction queue, see the index entries on "deferred transactions, pushing changes," "DefError table, deleting transactions from," "DBMS_DEFER_SYS.EXECUTE," "DBMS_DEFER_SYS.DELETE_TRAN" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The execution of a deferred remote procedure call at the destination failed because its propagation was disabled.
Action: Enable deferred remote procedure call execution with the DBMS_DEFER_SYS.ENABLE call.
Cause: The given name was null or misspelled; the given type was wrong; the object does not exist as a valid database object at the master site; or the object does not exist as a replicated object with the appropriate status.
Action: Ensure the object is valid in the master database and is visible to the user; and if appropriate, ensure the object is a valid object in ALL_REPOBJECT.
For more information about valid objects at the master site, see the index entry on "snapshot sites, objects allowed" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: Possibly DROP_MASTER_REPGROUP was run at a master site but REMOVE_MASTER_DATABASES was not run at master definition site for that master.
Action: Run REMOVE_MASTER_DATABASES from master definition site to remove the appropriate master (see associated error messages).
Cause: The propagator does not exist.
Action: Register a new propagator.
Cause: The local user does not match the remote user connected via a database link.
Action: Drop and recreate the identified database link with the connect-to user identical to the owner of the database link.
Cause: The userid in the repcatlog record does not match the userid of the connected user.
Action: Retry the operation with a different user.
Cause: An attempt to create more than one snapshot on a given master table in the same rep group.
Action: Create these other snapshots in a different rep group at another site.
For more information about creating a snapshot, see the index entries on "snapshot sites, creating" and on "snapshot logs, master table, creating" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The snapshot does not exist at the master site for offline instantiation of the snapshot.
Action: The correct procedure is to create the snapshot in a different schema at the master site, and then follow the instructions for offline instantiation of snapshots.
For more information about creating a snapshot, see the index entries on "snapshot sites, creating" and on "snapshot logs, master table, creating" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The given user does not exist.
Action: Enter the name of a valid user and retry the operation.
Cause: The name of the base table of the snapshot at the master site is different from the base table at the snapshot site. This error may arise during offline instantiation of snapshots.
Action: Retry offline instantiation with a snapshot name less than 24 bytes.
For more information about naming a snapshot, see the index entry on "snapshots, base table" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The Advanced Replication feature is not enabled at this site. Updatable snapshots, deferred RPCs, and other replication features are, therefore, unavailable.
Action: Do not attempt to use this feature. Contact an Oracle Customer Support representative if the Advanced Replication feature has been purchased but not enabled.
Cause: The site specified in argument REFERENCE_SITE or argument COMPARISON_SITE in call to DIFFERENCES() routine or RECTIFY() routine did not name an existing site.
Action: Make sure that database sites specified really do exist, and re-run the routine. For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine and the RECTIFY() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The value of argument MAX_MISSING to routine DIFFERENCES() cannot be less than 1. Value of argument COMMIT_ROWS to routines DIFFERENCES() and RECTIFY() cannot be less than 1.
Action: Choose an integer value for those arguments to be 1 or greater.
For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine and the RECTIFY() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The table specified in argument ONAME1 or ONAME2 in call to DIFFERENCES() routine did not contain either a primary key or a virtual primary key (defined through DBMS_REPCAT package under symmetric replication).
Action: Make sure the tables specified have a primary key defined.
For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: Argument SNAME1, SNAME2, ONAME1, ONAME2, MISSING_ROWS_SNAME, MISSING_ROWS_ONAME1, MISSING_ROWS_ONAME2 to DIFFERENCES() or RECTIFY() cannot be NULL or (EMPTY STRING).
Action: Change the argument to a non-null or a non-empty string.
For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine and the RECTIFY() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: Argument MAX_MISSING to DIFFERENCES() routine cannot be NULL.
Action: Legal values for MAX_MISSING are integers 1 or greater. For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The tables specified were not shape equivalent, which means intuitively that the number of columns, the names, their datatypes and lengths were not the same. Specifically, the problem was in the parentheses and was one of the following: the number of columns were not equal, datatypes of columns with same name in different tables were different, lengths of VARCHAR2 and CHAR columns were not equal, precision and scale of number datatypes were not equal.
Action: Make sure the two tables being compared have the same number of columns, same column names, and same datatypes.
For more information about using column groups, see the index entry on "column groups, using" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: Some column in ARRAY_COLUMNS argument (or COLUMN_LIST argument) to DIFFERENCES() routine did not correspond to a column in the specified table.
Action: Make sure that all the columns in either ARRAY_COLUMNS or COLUMN_LIST are present in the specified table.
For more information about the arguments to the DIFFERENCES() routine, see the Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: Certain types in the table comparison utility were not supported.
Action: Make sure that the types of columns in the tables to be compared are the ones supported by symmetric replication.
For more information about column groups, see the index entry on "column groups, understanding" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The group name was null or misspelled, or the group did not exist locally.
Action: Specify the group correctly, or create it with DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MASTER_REGROUP().
For more information about creating a replicated group, see the index entries on "replicated groups, creating" and on "DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MASTER_REGROUP" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The given database already replicated the given object group.
Action: Choose a different group or a different database.
Cause: A feature not compatible with the specified database was used.
Action: Set or raise the value of the COMPATIBLE parameter in the INIT.ORA file to match the necessary compatibility level.
For more information about parameter files and their initialization parameters, see the index entry on "parameter files" in Oracle8 Server Concepts.
Cause: A feature that was not compatible with the remote database was used.
Action: Upgrade the remote database and retry the operation.
For more information about replication compatibility, see Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: An attempt was made to use the name of the reference site table as the name of the MISSING_ROWS_ONAME1 argument.
Action: Provide a separately created table with a different name for MISSING_ROWS_ONAME1 argument. The separately created table will contain the differences between the tables being compared.
For more information about the MISSING_ROWS_ONAME1 argument, see Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The connection qualifier used in the database link for the specified object group does match the qualifier specified for the group in CREATE_MASTER_REPGROUP.
Action: Use or create a database link which contains the correct connection qualifier.
For more information about connection qualifiers, see Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The maximum length of a database link, including the connection qualifier, is 128 bytes.
Action: Use a shorter connection qualifier, or shorten the name of the database link. For more information about connection qualifiers, see Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The specified propagation is misspelled, or is not supported.
Action: Refer to the manual on replicated data for valid propagation modes.
For more information about propagation, see the index entry "propagating changes" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The system generated object(s) for the specified base object do not exist at the specified site. The current operation requires the base object to have generated replication support.
Action: Ensure that the generated replication object(s) for the base object exist and are valid at the specified site. If the generated object(s) do not exist, then the procedure dbms_repcat.generate_replication_support() needs to be called from the master definition site for the base object.
For more information about generating replication support, see the index entry "generating, replication support" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The snapshot REPGROUP is not currently registered at the master and so cannot be unregistered.
Action: No action required.
Cause: Insertion into local REPSCHEMA table failed.
Action: No action required.
Cause: Specified numeric argument to DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH is invalid.
Action: Fix the argument value and try again.
Cause: Specified string argument to DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH is invalid.
Action: Fix the argument value and try again.
Cause: An error occurred while creating slave processes for parallel push.
Action: If the PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS initialization parameter is zero, reconfigure the parameter to be greater than zero. Otherwise, contact your customer support representative.
Cause: An attempt to dequeue a deferred transaction failed while trying to assign a new queue batch number.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: An error occurred during parallel push while trying to update the high-water-mark information in system.def$_destination.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Cause: DBMS_REPCAT.SWITCH_SNAPSHOT_MASTER is no longer supported.
Action: Drop the objects in the object group and recreate them using the new master.
Cause: Could not find snapshot associated with a trigger or index that is being pulled from the master site.
Action: Ensure that snapshot, master, and master index or trigger is registered as replicated objects.
Cause: The given user is already the current propagator.
Action: No action required.
Cause: More than one valid propagator exist.
Action: Unregister any duplicate propagator.
Cause: The given name was null or misspelled, the given type was wrong, the object does not exist as a valid database object, or the object does not exist as a replicated object with the appropriate status.
Action: Ensure the object is valid in the database, is visible to the user, and, if appropriate, is a valid object in ALL_REPOBJECT.
Cause: The database link does not exist in the schema of the replication propagator or has not been scheduled.
Action: Ensure that the database link exists in the database, is accessible and is scheduled for execution.
Cause: The database link name at the local node does not match the global name of the database that the link accesses.
Action: Ensure that global names is set to true and the link name matches the global name.
Cause: The user name of the replication administration user at the local node and the user name at the node corresponding to the database link are not the same. Symmetric replication expects the two users to be the same.
Action: Ensure that the user ID of the replication administration user at the local node and the user ID at the node corresponding to the database link are the same.
Cause: Replication support for the specified object has not been generated or the generation process is not yet complete.
Action: Ensure that replication support has been generated for the object. Use DBMS_REPCAT.GENERATE_REPLICATION_SUPPORT() to generate replication support for the object.
Cause: A null, misspelled, or badly formed snapshot name was given to DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH.
Action: Provide a valid snapshot name to DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH.
Cause: A snapshot name was given to DBMS_SNAPSHOT.REFRESH that is not in SYS.SNAP$ or its associated views.
Action: Provide a snapshot name that is in SYS.SNAP$, ALL_SNAPSHOTS, or USER_SNAPSHOTS.
Cause: There are outstanding conflicts logged in the DEFERROR table at the snapshot's master.
Action: Resolve the conflicts in the master DEFERROR table and refresh again after the table is empty. Alternatively, refresh with REFRESH_AFTER_ERRORS set to TRUE, which will proceed with the refresh, even if there are conflicts in the master's DEFERROR table. Proceeding despite conflicts can result with an updatable snapshot's changes appearing to be temporarily lost, until a refresh succeeds after the conflicts are resolved.
Cause: Making a new refresh group when there is already a group of the same name in SYS.RGROUP$.
Action: Choose a different refresh group name.
Cause: A refresh group name was given that is not in SYS.RGROUP$.
Action: Provide a refresh group name that is in SYS.RGROUP$ or DBS_RGROUP.
Cause: A refresh group number was given that is not in SYS.RGROUP$.
Action: Provide a refresh group number that is in SYS.RGROUP$ or DBS_RGROUP.
Cause: The caller is not the owner of the snapshot and does not have ALTER ANY SNAPSHOT privileges.
Action: Perform the operation as the owner of the snapshot or as a user with ALTER ANY SNAPSHOT privileges.
Cause: The object name, for example, the rollback segment, the snapshot name, or the refresh group, was incorrectly specified.
Action: Retry the operation with the object name properly specified, like "SCHEMA.OBJECT" or "OBJECT".
Cause: The operation is not supported if the object group is replicated at a pre-Oracle Version 8 node.
Action: Ensure that all nodes of the replicated object group are Oracle Version 8.
Cause: 1000 consecutive refresh group numbers, as defined by the RGROUPSEQ number, were already used by rows in SYS.RGROUP$.
Action: Alter the sequence number to be within a legal unused range and destroy unneeded refresh groups.
Cause: A snapshot of the same name is already in a refresh group.
Action: Subtract the snapshot its the current refresh group and add it to its new refresh group, or combine the two refresh groups into a single refresh group.
Cause: The specified snapshot is not in the specified refresh group.
Action: Try again with the proper snapshot and refresh group names.
Cause: The master table's primary key constraint was modified after the primary key snapshot was created.
Action: Drop and recreate the primary key snapshot.
Cause: The fast refresh cannot be performed because the master table did not contain a snapshot log.
Action: Use the CREATE SNAPSHOT LOG command to create a snapshot log on the master table.
Cause: A ROWID snapshot is being fast refreshed, but the snapshot log does not record ROWID information.
Action: Use the CREATE SNAPSHOT LOG...ADD ROWID command to begin recording ROWID information in the snapshot log.
Cause: A primary key snapshot is being fast refreshed, but the snapshot log does not record primary key information.
Action: Use the CREATE SNAPSHOT LOG...ADD PRIMARY KEY command to begin recording primary key information in the snapshot log.
Cause: The master table did not constrain a primary key constraint or the primary key constraint was disabled.
Action: Create a primary key constraint on the master table or enable the existing constraint.
Cause: A fast refresh was performed on a snapshot of an unknown or unsupported type.
Action: Check ALL_SNAPSHOTS and ensure that the snapshot being refreshed is a valid snapshot.
Cause: The propagator is currently used in propagating replication RPCs.
Action: Try again later when there is no transaction active in propagating replication RPCs.
Cause: There are tables in the object group that require regeneration of replication support.
Action: Check the GENERATION_STATUS column in the ALL_REPOBJECTS view. Regenerate replication support for any table in the object group with a 'NEEDSGEN' status. Resume master activity.
Cause: The parameter INTERVAL evaluates to a time earlier than SYSDATE.
Action: Choose an expression that evaluates to a time later than SYSDATE.
Cause: There is no job visible to the caller with the given job number.
Action: Choose the number of a job visible to the caller.
Cause: Oracle Server could not generate a job number that was not used to identify another job.
Action: Retry the operation.
Cause: The given job number is less than 1.
Action: Choose a positive integer.
Cause: The specified snapshot has not be successfully registered at this site.
Action: Register the snapshot manually at either the master site or the snapshot site.
Cause: The argument provided to DBMS_SNAPSHOT.PURGE_SNAPSHOT_FROM_LOG is an invalid snapshot identifer or it does not identify an Oracle 8 fast refreshable snapshot or the snapshot has been already purged.
Action: If the snapshot is an Oracle 8 fast refreshable snapshot then provide PURGE_SNAPSHOT_FROM_LOG with its valid snapshot identifier.
Cause: The requested action cannot be performed until the queue is empty for the given site/dblink
Action: Use DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PUSH, DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE_QUEUE or DBMS_DEFER_SYS.DELETE_TRAN to empty the queue.
Cause: Specified numeric argument to DBMS_DEFER_SYS.PURGE_QUEUE is invalid.
Action: Fix the argument value and try again.
Cause: The caller has provided an argument whose value cannot be NULL or the empty string.
Action: Check that the VARCHAR2 value provided is not NULL or the empty string and retry the call.
For more information about NULL and VARCHAR2, see the index entries on "NULL" and "VARCHAR2" in the PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference.
Cause: The routine was executed against a replicated object group that was in the wrong state.
Action: Make sure that the replicated object group is in the state given in the error message.
For more information about replicated schemas, see the index entry on "replicated schemas" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: An attempt was made to instantiate a replicated object group at a master site that was already a part of the object group.
Action: If you were trying to add this site, do nothing because it already exists; otherwise, pick the name of another site, and re-run the routine.
For more information about replicated schemas, see the index entry on "replicated schemas" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: An attempt was made to execute the routine at a site that is different from the site specified in the argument of the routine.
Action: Provide an argument to the routine that correctly indicates the site against which the routine should be executing.
For more information about site priority, see the index entry on "site priority" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The site name given as an argument to a routine was not already known to the replicated object group.
Action: Execute the DBMS_OFFLINE_SCHEMA.BEGIN_INSTANTIATION() routine to add a new site to the replicated schema.
For more information about adding members to site priority groups, see the index entry on "site priority groups, adding members to" in Oracle8 Server Distributed Systems.
Cause: The propagation of LOB data from snapshot sites to the master site requires a primary key on the replicated table. Thus updatable ROWID snapshots that contain LOB columns are not supported.
Action: Create a primary key snapshot instead of a ROWID snapshot. If the snapshot already exists, it can be converted to a primary key snapshot using the ALTER SNAPSHOT DDL command.
