ORA-32004: obsolete or deprecated parameter(s) specified for RDBMS instance
ORA-00845: MEMORY_TARGET not supported on this system

Solution:

1. Logon to the database as sysdba

2. Execute the command.

SQL> show parameter memory_target;

NAME TYPE VALUE
———————————— ———– ——————————
memory_target big integer 3104M
SQL>

3. Issue the command.

SQL> alter system reset memory_target;

System altered.

SQL>

4. Shutdown the database

SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL>

5. Startup the database.

Find the Oracle parameter causing ORA-32004 and removing

Leave a comment

During the normally life cycle of a database, multiple upgrades will occur, resulting in parameters becoming obsolete. This article shows how to determine the parameter which is obsolete and removing it.

Typical error generated by an obsolete parameter:

[oracle@mylinux2 bin]$ ./dbca -silent -deleteDatabase -sourceDB orcl
-sysDBAUserName larry -sysDBAPassword larry
ORA-32004: obsolete or deprecated parameter(s) specified for RDBMS instance
[oracle@mylinux2 bin]$

1. Logon to the database as the sys user.

[oracle@mylinux2 bin]$ sqlplus ‘/ as sysdba’

2. Execute the following SQL to find the problem

select name, value from v$parameter where ISDEPRECATED=’TRUE’ and ISDEFAULT=’FALSE’;

SQL> select name, value from v$parameter where ISDEPRECATED=’TRUE’ and ISDEFAULT=’FALSE’;

NAME
——————————————————————————–
VALUE
——————————————————————————–
remote_os_authent
FALSE
SQL>

3. Reset this parameter

SQL> alter system reset remote_os_authent;
System altered.
SQL>

4. Stop database.

SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL>

5. Start database.

SQL> startup
