ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

ORA-1254: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified

This error is because the connect identifier given, wrongalias, cannot be resolved
into database connection details by the TNS (Transparent Network Substrate—not an
acronym particularly worth remembering) layer of Oracle Net. The name resolution
method to be used and its configuration is a matter for the database administrator. In
this case, the error is obvious: the user entered the wrong connect identifier.
The second connect attempt gives the correct identifier, orcl.

This fails with
ORA-12541: TNS:no listener

This indicates that the connect identifier has resolved correctly into the address
of a database listener, but that the listener is not actually running. Note that another
possibility would be that the address resolution is faulty and is sending SQL*Plus
to the wrong address. Following this error, the user should contact the database
administrator and ask him or her to start the listener. Then try again.
The third connect request fails with

ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service

requested in connect descriptor
This error is generated by the database listener. SQL*Plus has found the listener
with no problems, but the listener cannot make the onward connection to the database
service. The most likely reason for this is that the database instance has not been
started, so the user should ask the database administrator to start it and then try again.

DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS and PURGE_LOG

How to purge DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS? Manually deleting from DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS is not recommended by oracle.DBA_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS is a view that is using two master tables (scheduler$_job_run_details and scheduler$_event_log) and display the information about jobs history. As there is one procedure named PURGE_LOG and Oracle have Scheduler for this procedure. It will purges all rows in the job log that are older than 30 days.This is the default behavior of this procedure. You can change this to any number of days you want by setting the attribute "SET_SCHEDULER_ATTRIBUTE". e.g. exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.SET_SCHEDULER_ATTRIBUTE('log_history','15'); It will purge all logs older than 15days and it will maintain the history of 15days. But If you want manually purge these logs, you can use below solution:- exec DBMS_SCHEDULER.PURGE_LOG(log_history => 15, which_log => 'JOB_LOG'); It will purge all entries from the jog log that are o...

ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified

ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified I just started working on 12C version of oracle database.It's new to me and facing many problems. Error code: ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified Description:"ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified" normally occurs when you create a PDB.I will explain later what is a PDB. Cause and solution :  ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified caused when Data files, and possibly other files, needed to be copied as a part of creating a pluggable database.Enable OMF or define PDB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT system parameter before issuing CREATE PLUGGABLE DATABASE statement, or specify FILE_NAME_CONVERT clause as a part of the statement and make sure the path you are giving to convert the file exists. I think if you are creating the PDB's using GUI then you will not face this error "ORA-65016: FILE_NAME_CONVERT must be specified". If you creating ODB using script and you have gave a wrong path then may you f...
