ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job SYS.ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_**

 

Introduction

ORA-12012 error is related to Oracle Database and is part of the Oracle Job Scheduler (DBMS_SCHEDULER). It usually occurs when an automatic task or job execution encounters an issue. The error message you're seeing, "ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_<number>," is specific to the job causing the problem.

During the 12c database creation process, you can see ORA-12012 error in the alert log file when the
“SYS.ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_ ” auto job runs. To fix the error, it is necessary to drop the job and recreate it.

Errors will be as follows.

Errors in file /u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/prod/PROD/trace/PROD_j000_14524.trc:

ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job "SYS"."ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_767"
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

Cause

Originally reported for creating a database using DBCA 12.2.0.1 in Linux or Windows platform. Issue occurred while creating database with DBCA, the advisory package is not created properly. This issue is happening because of the unavailability of the Stats Advisor Tasks from the created database.

It is an Oracle known Bug and can appear when database is created with dbca in oracle 12.2

Solution

  1. Validate Invalid Objects
  2. Create or Drop and recreate the tasks correctly
  3. Check database alert log

1. Validate Invalid Objects

SQL> select count(*) from dba_objects where status='INVALID';

  COUNT(*)
----------
         0

## If the is count above 0 then compile it by running below command in sql ##

SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

2. Create or Drop and recreate the tasks correctly

First case when Stats Advisor Tasks are not available.

##Check availability of Stats Advisor Tasks by running below query##

SQL> set lines 999
col NAME for a45
col CTIME for a30
col HOW_CREATED for a20
select name, ctime, how_created
from sys.wri$_adv_tasks
where owner_name = 'SYS'
and name in ('AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK','INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK');

no rows selected


##Create the package with following commands:##

SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.init_package();

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.



SQL> commit;

Commit complete


##Verify the package created##

SQL> set lines 999
col NAME for a45
col CTIME for a30
col HOW_CREATED for a20
select name, ctime, how_created
from sys.wri$_adv_tasks
where owner_name = 'SYS'
and name in ('AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK','INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK');

NAME                                          CTIME                          HOW_CREATED
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------
AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                       01-OCT-23                      CMD
INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                 01-OCT-23                      CMD

Second case when Stats Advisor Tasks are available.

##Check availability of Stats Advisor Tasks by running below query##

SQL> set lines 999
col NAME for a45
col CTIME for a30
col HOW_CREATED for a20
select name, ctime, how_created
from sys.wri$_adv_tasks
where owner_name = 'SYS'
and name in ('AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK','INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK');

NAME                                          CTIME                          HOW_CREATED
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------
AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                       01-OCT-23                      CMD
INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                 01-OCT-23                      CMD



##Drop the Stats Advisor tasks##

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.




## Verify the drop##

SQL> set lines 999
col NAME for a45
col CTIME for a30
col HOW_CREATED for a20
select name, ctime, how_created
from sys.wri$_adv_tasks
where owner_name = 'SYS'
and name in ('AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK','INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK');

no rows selected

Recreate the tasks

##Create the package with following commands:##

SQL> EXEC dbms_stats.init_package();

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.



SQL> commit;

Commit complete



##Verify the package created##

SQL> set lines 999
col NAME for a45
col CTIME for a30
col HOW_CREATED for a20
select name, ctime, how_created
from sys.wri$_adv_tasks
where owner_name = 'SYS'
and name in ('AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK','INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK');

NAME                                          CTIME                          HOW_CREATED
--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ --------------------
AUTO_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                       02-OCT-23                      CMD
INDIVIDUAL_STATS_ADVISOR_TASK                 02-OCT-23                      CMD

3. Check database alert log

Once the Stats Advisor Tasks are available in database, the database alert log should no longer show the following errors:

ORA-12012: error on auto execute of job "SYS"."ORA$AT_OS_OPT_SY_767"

Conclusion

In conclusion, the ORA-12012 error can be a bit challenging to diagnose, but with systematic troubleshooting, you can identify and resolve the issue. Always ensure that you have proper backups before making any significant changes to your database, and consider testing changes in a non-production environment first.

Create Local Yum Repository In Linux From ISO Image

 A local YUM repository in Linux is a collection of RPM (Red Hat Package Manager) packages stored on a local server or file system. YUM (Yellowdog Updater, Modified) is a package management tool commonly used in Red Hat-based Linux distributions like CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It simplifies the process of installing, updating, and managing software packages on a Linux system. In this we'll try to create one. Steps to follow: Mount the iso image in virtual machine. Install vsftpd rpm from the iso Packages. Copy the packages from iso to /var/ftp/pub/Packages/ Install createrepo .rpm  from packages and Create repo in location /var/ftp/pub/ Create new repo file in location /etc/yum.repos.d/{any_name.repo} and add entry Check and start the vsftpd and Clean & update the yum. 1.

Primary & Standby Database SYNC Check in Oracle Database

 In Oracle Data Guard , you can check whether the standby database is in sync with the primary database by monitoring the apply lag. The apply lag represents the time delay between when a redo log is generated on the primary database and when it is applied on the standby database. A zero or low apply lag indicates that the standby is relatively up-to-date with the primary, while a high apply lag suggests a potential synchronization delay. Here are some methods to check whether the standby database is in sync with the primary: 1. Data Guard Broker If you are using the Data Guard Broker, you can use the DGMGRL command-line interface or Enterprise Manager (Grid Control) to check the status of the Data Guard configuration and monitor the apply lag. For example, using DGMGRL: DGMGRL> SHOW DATABASE 'standby_database_name' APPLY_LAG; DGMGRL > SHOW DATABASE 'standby_database_name' APPLY_LAG ; 2. V$DATAGUARD_STATS View On the primary datab...

RMAN Backup using ShellScript

 In a real time, we will not take Oracle database backup manually everyday. Some of the tasks can be automated like RMAN backups. In this post, we will see how to automate RMAN backup using shellscript and I personally use shellscript for import/export, rman backup and for monitoring alerts. • Create Backup directory • Create RMAN backup script file .sh • Schedule Backup Under Crontab # Example of job definition: # .---------------- minute (0 - 59) # | .------------- hour (0 - 23) # | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31) # | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... # | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat # | | | | | # * * * * * user-name command to be executed # Example of job definition: # . ---------------- minute ( 0 - 59 ) # | . ------------- hour ( 0 - 23 ) # | | . ---------- day of month ( 1 - 31 ) # | | | . ------- month ( 1 - 12 ) OR jan , feb , mar , apr .....
