Known Causes

3 known causes
⚠️
Non-Integer Percentage Input
The user or an automated process specified a percentage that, when applied to the total capacity or resource, does not resolve to a whole number, such as using a fractional percentage.
⚠️
ACFS Allocation Requirement Mismatch
Oracle ACFS operations often require underlying block or extent allocations to be based on whole numbers. The provided percentage violates this fundamental internal calculation rule.
⚠️
Scripted Configuration Error
An automated script or utility attempted to configure an ACFS resource with a calculated percentage that inadvertently produced a fractional result, triggering this validation error.
