ACFS-03043
Oracle Database Error ACFS-03043: Snapshot Name Length Limit
Description
This error occurs when attempting to create or rename an Oracle ACFS snapshot, and the specified snapshot name exceeds the maximum allowed length in bytes. It indicates that the provided name is too long for the underlying file system or ACFS metadata constraints, preventing the operation from completing.
Error Message
name of snapshot cannot exceed number bytes
Known Causes
3 known causesSnapshot Name Exceeds Maximum Length
The most common cause is providing a snapshot name that contains too many characters, surpassing the maximum byte length permitted by Oracle ACFS for snapshot names.
Multibyte Character Encoding
If the database or operating system uses a multibyte character set (e.g., UTF-8), some characters consume more than one byte, causing the name to exceed the byte limit even if the character count seems low.
System or ACFS Configuration Constraint
In specific configurations, an underlying file system or ACFS parameter might impose a stricter byte limit for snapshot names than typically expected, leading to this error.
