ORA-07252

spcre: semget error, could not allocate semaphores.

Cause

Semget system call returned an error. Possible resource limit problem.


Action

Check errno. Verify that enough semaphores are available in system. If additional errors occur in destroying the semaphore sets then sercose[0] will be non-zero. If this occurs, remove the semaphore sets using ipcrm.
