error ORA-09817: Write to audit file failed. / ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.


When you try to login as sys using sys/password as sysdba, you may get the error ORA-09817: Write to audit file failed.
And If you tried to login as a normal user you may get  the error - ORA-00257: archiver error. Connect internal only, until freed.

These errors are giving most probably because your Archive destination is full.

Check archive destionation : 

SQL> ARCHIVE LOG LIST
Database log mode              Archive Mode
Automatic archival             Enabled
Archive destination            USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST
Oldest online log sequence     1324060
Next log sequence to archive   1324066
Current log sequence           1324066

SQL> show parameter DB_RE

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
db_recovery_file_dest                string      /u01/app/oracle/flash_recovery_area
db_recovery_file_dest_size           big integer 2000G


Try to check the free space with Linux commands (# df -h) and free up space in Archive location.
Better to put a cron job to delete old archives leaving up to 3-4 days archives in your database.

Building Continuous Data Trust with Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c

Today I'll discus on how we can build continuous data trust with Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c! As we accelerate towards hybrid and multi cloud architectures , one challenge keep coming up. That is "H ow do you trust your data across all these platforms?" With increasing data movement, replication, and transformation, even small changes can lead to major business risks. This is where Oracle GoldenGate Veridata 26c comes in handy! Rather than just validating data occasionally, the focus now is on continuous data trust . What is Veridata? It is a tool to compare data across different systems. It ensures source and target databases are in sync. It works during , Data migration, Replication setups, Ongoing operations. What’s new in Veridata 26c? 1. Support for Modern Architectures Built for hybrid, multi-cloud, and lakehouse environments with support for heterogeneous databases. 2. Continuous Data Validation Enables ongoing validation to detect data drift and inconsisten...
