Oracle Solution for Error ora-09922

ORA-09922: Can't spawn process - background log directory not created properly

What triggered the Error:

ORACLE was unable to spawn a background process because the directory that will hold trace files of the background processes was not created properly.

What should we do to fix it:

Examine the directory pointed to by the initialization parameter "background_dump_dest". Make sure that all of the following is true: *1. The directory exists. *2. The name indeed points to a directory, and is not a file. *3. The directory is accessible and writable to the ORACLE user.
