Oracle Error ORA-07252: spcre: semget error, could not allocate semaphores.

Oracle Error Message

ORA-07252: spcre: semget error, could not allocate semaphores.

Reason for the Error

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

Solution

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.
