unable to connect to database. please run the database configuration tool or contact your administrator in Primavera P6

Hi,

Sometimes you can get ” unable to connect to database. please run the database configuration tool or contact your administrator ” error when connect to Primavera P6 EPPM 18.8.

 

If you use Primavera P6 EPPM and Primavera standalone you can get following error when you connect to EPPM database.

unable to connect to database. please run the database configuration tool or contact your administrator

 

This error means you have problem related with Oracle database of EPPM. When i check Oracle database alertlog, I see errors  like following.

 

/oracle/product/diag/rdbms/devecidb/DEVECI/trace/alert_DEVECI.log


2019-03-25T15:58:34.703252+03:00
Errors in file /oracle/product/diag/rdbms/DEVECIdb/DEVECI/trace/DEVECI_arc2_3168.trc:
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files
ORA-19804: cannot reclaim 166860288 bytes disk space from 10737418240 bytes limit

This means you should increate db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter. I have connected database via sqlplus and increased db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter like following.
