ORA-02095: Specified Initialization Parameter Cannot Be Modified
PROBLEM:
SQL> alter system set processes=1000 scope=both;
alter system set processes=1000 scope=both
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02095: specified initialization parameter cannot be modified
While modifying the parameter in the database, got this error.
Solution :
First , we need to check whether the parameter is system modifiable or not.
SQL> select name,VALUE,ISSYS_MODIFIABLE from SYS.V$PARAMETER where name='processes';
NAME VALUE ISSYS_MODIFIABLE
------------- ----------------------- ---------
processes 7680 FALSE
Please Note :
ISSYS_MODIFIABLE is FALSE, Means we can’t use scope=both, We need to use SCOPE=SPFILE.
So to fix this error, use scope=spfile and restart the database.
alter system set processes=1000 scope=SPFILE;
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP;
