ORA-00832: no streams pool created and cannot automatically create one

ORA-00832: no streams pool created and cannot automatically create one

Action: Please set the parameter streams_pool_size or set sga_target

ORA-00828: specified value of shared_pool_reserved_size inconsistent with internal settings

ORA-00828: specified value of shared_pool_reserved_size inconsistent with internal settings
Cause: Unable to set shared_pool_reserved_size to specified value if sga_target set, either because the specified value is too small, or because it is too large for the current internal size of shared pool. More details can be found in the alert log
Action: If possible, do not set shared_pool_reserved_size without setting shared_pool_size if sga_target set. Examine the alert log for information about current internal size of shared pool, and valid range of values for shared_pool_reserved_size
