TimesTen: Shared Memory Segment Allocation Failure (error 28) On Linux
(Doc ID 959412.1)
Last updated on JULY 07, 2023
Applies to:
Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database - Version 7.0.0.0.0 to 11.2.2.8.13 [Release 7.0 to 11.2]Generic Linux
This DocNote speaks to shared memory allocation problems that may be experienced on TimesTen on any Linux platform.
Symptoms
Attempts to allocate a TimesTen shared memory segment may fail on Linux even though the value of SHMMAX is larger then the segment size. Customers may see errors similar to the following:
ttadmin -cachestart <DSN NAME>
*** [TimesTen][TimesTen 7.0.4.0.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT0836: Cannot create data store
shared-memory segment, error 28 -- file "db.c", lineno 9323, procedure "sbDbConnect"
*** ODBC Error = 08001, TimesTen Error = 836
*** [TimesTen][TimesTen 7.0.4.0.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT0703: Subdaemon connect to data store
failed with error TT836 -- file "db.c", lineno 9323, procedure "sbDbConnect"
*** ODBC Error = 08001, TimesTen Error = 703
*** [TimesTen][TimesTen 7.0.4.0.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT0836: Cannot create data store
shared-memory segment, error 28 -- file "db.c", lineno 9323, procedure "sbDbConnect"
*** ODBC Error = 08001, TimesTen Error = 836
*** [TimesTen][TimesTen 7.0.4.0.0 ODBC Driver][TimesTen]TT0703: Subdaemon connect to data store
failed with error TT836 -- file "db.c", lineno 9323, procedure "sbDbConnect"
*** ODBC Error = 08001, TimesTen Error = 703
"Error 28" in the error message refers to Linux errno=28, which indicates insufficient space available for the memory allocation. Since SHMMAX is larger then the shared memory segment that TimesTen is attempting to allocate, this error seems puzzling.
