Bill,

Check whether u have any hung shared memory segments by issuing the command :

$ ipcs -mobs

Look for an oracle:dba user having NTTACH = 0. If it exists, remove it using the command :

$ ipcrm -m <semaphore id>

Attempt to restart.

Regards,
Samir

Hi All!

I have encounterd an interesting problem after attempting to make a change in my parameter file. I made a minor change in the date format, and upon shutting down (normal) and starting up, an error in the format was reported. I changed the format back to it's original form so that there was no diff between the original pfile and the current one, and attempted to restart, and I receive the following error:

SQL> startup
ORA-24323: value not allowed
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

There is nothing interesting in the alert log, and I see the same error with a startup nomount.

Any ideas as to what is going on?

Thanks in advance!!
