SAP Note 553854 - Oracle: Problems with file size limit

Component : Database Administration with Oracle - Oracle

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/553854 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note identifies common errors occurring from file size limits during operations such as database file creation, export dumps, and system reorganizations. It specifies that failures like EXP-00002 and ORA-01157 arise due of surpassing file size limitations set by operating systems or Oracle parameters. Solutions include configuring SAPDBA and BR tools with correct file size parameters, ensuring that system-level limits like 'ulimit' are adequately set, and updating Oracle versions or parameters where necessary. Verification of file system configurations on Unix systems (like HP-UX) for large file capability is also recommended.
