    ORA-19760: error starting change tracking

    Hi All,
    I am using 10g R2 (64 bit) on Solaris 10 Sparc server with 24gig memory. The database is in archivelog mode and I am implementing RMAN on it. I wanted to use the new block tracking feature of RMAN and when I run the following command:-

    alter database enable block change tracking using file '/oradump01/orcl/rman/track/btf.dbf';

    I get this error:-
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-19760: error starting change tracking

    On checking the alert log file I get the following message:

    alter database enable block change tracking using file '/oradump01/orcl/rman/track/btf.dbf'

    Deleted file /oradump01/orcl/rman/track/btf.dbf


    The shared memory setting for the server is :
    set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=0xffffffff --Maximum available
    set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1
    set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=50

    Any suggestions would be helpful.

    Thanks,
    Sandeep

    But it has been set for maximum use by oracle with the 0xffffffff setting. Would this be a problem for block change tracking?

    no, you set the shared memory settings.

    You need to increase the shared pool database parameter

    Increase specifically the large pool....

    just increasing the shared pool didn't do it for me. Increasing specifically the large pool did. Good luck!
