Problem
Administrator is trying to run the staging table script. Therefore, administrator launches Oracle SQL Plus, and runs a script similar to the following:
declare xx number; begin — Call the function xx := schemaname.usp_triggerimportbatchjobs(‘IMP’,’#ST_EXTDIM1′,’1′,»,’ADM’,1,to_date(’01-NOV-2007′)); end;
However, Oracle SQL Plus retuns an error.
Symptom
declare
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20001: -1060
ORA-05512: at «schemaname.usp_triggerimportbatchjobs», line 217
ORA-06512: at line 5
Cause
The column ‘BATCH_ID’ inside table ‘XSTAGEDIM1’ incorrectly already has its Batch ID filled in.
- In other words, the entry is not blank (which it expects it to be).
Diagnosing The Problem
Oracle error code ‘ORA-20001’ means that there is an application-specific error code to come.
- TIP: For more details on this, see separate IBM Technote #1347672.
In this case, the relating Controller-specific code/meaning is:
- -1060 = No rows were updated in staging table, possibly wrong importid was sent in
Resolving The Problem
Delete the entries inside BATCH_ID and re-run.
Steps:
NOTE: Before proceeding, backup the Controller database (e.g. use EXP to create a DMP file) as a precaution
- Launch «Oracle Enterprise Manager Console» (Standalone)
- Locate and open Controller database
- Locate and open Controller schema (user) — for example «ControllerLive»
- Locate table ‘XSTAGEDIM1’
- Right-click on ‘XSTAGEDIM1’ and choose ‘View/Edit Contents’
- Notice that there is a column called ‘BATCH_ID’. If the rows beneath this column name are filled in (for example with ’35’) then it means that a BATCH_ID number has already been assigned.
- Delete the numbers inside this column
- Test by re-running the script.

During the 12c database creation process , you can see ORA-20001 error in the alert log file when the “SYS.ORA $ AT_OS_OPT_SY_ <NN>” auto job runs. To fix the error, it is necessary to drop the job and recreate it. Errors will be as follows.
ORA—12012: error on auto execute of job «SYS».«ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_72» ORA—20001: Statistics Advisor: Invalid task name for the current user ORA—06512: at «SYS.DBMS_STATS», line 47207 ORA—06512: at «SYS.DBMS_STATS_ADVISOR», line 882 ORA—06512: at «SYS.DBMS_STATS_INTERNAL», line 20059 ORA—06512: at «SYS.DBMS_STATS_INTERNAL», line 22201 ORA—06512: at «SYS.DBMS_STATS», line 47197 |
First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the tasks are created correctly with the following command.
SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.init_package(); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. |
Afterwards, it is necessary to identify the owner of the job with the following query.
SQL> select name, ctime, how_created,OWNER_NAME from sys.wri$_adv_tasks where name in (‘AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK’,‘INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK’); |
If you see an output like the one below, you should connect with SYS. If the job owner is a different user, you should connect with that user.
NAME CTIME HOW_CREATED —————————————————— ————————— ——————————————— OWNER_NAME ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK 13—OCT—18 CMD SYS INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK 13—OCT—18 CMD SYS |
In this case, you should connect with sys via sqlplus and drop and recreate the tasks correctly.
Drop operations can be done as follows.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 |
SQL> DECLARE v_tname VARCHAR2(32767); BEGIN v_tname := ‘AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK’; DBMS_STATS.DROP_ADVISOR_TASK(v_tname); END; / PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. SQL> DECLARE v_tname VARCHAR2(32767); BEGIN v_tname := ‘INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK’; DBMS_STATS.DROP_ADVISOR_TASK(v_tname); END; / PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. |
It should then be re-created as follows.
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.INIT_PACKAGE(); PL/SQL procedure successfully completed. |
Then there will be no errors in the alert.log file.

While 12.2 database is being started by srvctl, the alert log shows following messages,

DBMS_QOPATCH is introduced by 12.1 database as a cool new feature ‘Queryable OPatch’. It is implemented with a PL/SQL package (DBMS_QOPATCH) and a set of tables and directories. In order to understand what the errors really are, let’s do some details research,

It should be a good guess to start from looking into the log file qopatch_log.log which modification time is very close to the time when errors was reported in alert log,

File ‘qopatch_log.log’ is defined as log file of the external table, and will be generated by external table utility while table ‘OPATCH_XML_INV’ is accessed.
According to the table’s definition, PREPROCESSOR-specified command (script file) ‘qopiprep.bat’ will convert ‘raw’ data to records of the table before the table is accessible. That’s why execution error of script ‘qopiprep.bat’ is found in log ‘qopatch_log.log’. The log shows file ‘stout_orcl.txt’ cannot be created while line 55 of the script is being executed, the script code looks as following,
54 rm -rf $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml
55 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -xml $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml
-retry 0 -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc >> $ORABASE/rdbms/log/stout_$DBSID.txt
56 cat $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml | sed ‘s/^ *//’ | tr ‘n’ ‘ ‘
57 echo «UIJSVTBOEIZBEFFQBL»
58 rm $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml
59 rm $ORABASE/rdbms/log/stout_$DBSID.txt
Check the log directory $ORABASE/rdbms/log (here $ORABASE is same as $ORACLE_HOME) permission,
[oracle@host01]$ ls -ld $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log
drwxr-xr-x 3 oracle oinstall 14 Feb 10 18:36 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1/rdbms/log

drwxr-xr-x 77 oracle oinstall 81 Feb 10 19:22 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1
The database home owner ‘oracle’ is also the owner of the log directory, and both ‘sqlplus’ and’srvctl’ are executed by ‘oracle’ to start database, all read/write privilges should be inherited from user ‘oracle’ who has full control on the log directory. However, it is only true for sqlplus but not for srvctl.
IS srvctl accessing the external table as user other than oracle? Try to prove it by adding touch command to the script,
54 rm -rf $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml
55 touch /tmp/stout_$DBSID.test
56 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -xml $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml -retry 0 -invPtrLoc $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc >> $ORABASE/rdbms/log/stout_$DBSID.txt
57 cat $ORABASE/rdbms/log/xml_file_$DBSID.xml | sed ‘s/^ *//’ | tr ‘n’ ‘ ‘
58 echo «UIJSVTBOEIZBEFFQBL»
Try to start database with sqlplus and srvctl respectively,
[oracle@host01]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [orcl] ? orcl
The Oracle base remains unchanged with value /u01/app/oracle
[oracle@host01]$ ls -l /tmp/stout*.test

See, the external table (running script qopiprep.bat) is accessed as grid while srvctl is run, but oracle while sqlplus. Here, grid is the owner of standalone Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Restart) home. What if the external table is accessed directely from sqlplus?

Apparently, it succeeded when logged onto database locally (bypass listener), and failed while remotely (going through listener. And the listener is running out of Oracle Restart home whose owner
is grid,
[oracle@host01]$ ps -ef | grep tnslsnr

Although it, sometimes, made sense in previous version (10g? 11g?), it does not happen in 12.1. Therefore, it should be treated as bug :(.
As a temporary workaround, write permission can be granted to group of the log directory as grid is member of oinstall,
[oracle@magnum]$ id -a grid
