Re: Urgent - ORA-27146: post/wait initialization failed

Off the top of my head:

    The two 25138 error are exactly what they say,     numerous init.ora parameters are now obsolete.     Go into the init.ora and delete the entries.

    sequence_cache_entries=....
    sequence_cache_hash_buckets=....

The post/wait error is probably because Oracle is trying to use a post_wait driver. Check the init.ora for a parameter something like:

    use_post_wait=true
and set it to false; this may bypass the problem,
