Can't connect via sqlnet - oracle not available

Having trouble connecting to the database via sql*net. I'm executing sqlplus from the database machine. Connection works if I don't specify a SID in the sqlplus arguments (ie. sqlplus tbils/xxx), so the instance is up and available; but does not work if I give a SID:
$sqlplus tbils/xxx@bils

Do you have a NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN in your SQLNET.ora file?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem during XE installation on Windows 2003 R2 SP 2 Enterprise edition. I have uninstall the oracle xxe and the result still the same. Finally I uninstall the windows and start all over again, surprisingly the result still the same. FYI, we normally has no issue during installation because this is part of our system we sell to our customer which require oracle xe. This is the first time we have seen this issue.
    ORA-01034 : Oracle Not available
    ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm doesn't exist.
    Oracle XE and listener services is started in the windows services.
    if we try to do startup the following message occured.

    SQL> startup
    ORA-44412: XE edition memory parameter invalid or not specified
    SQL>I can send you the oracle_xe log, init ora, and OpsBuildAll.log to create the database.
    When we compare with the working installation, we saw that the size of oraclexe folder is less, it's just 233MB while the working one is over 1GB. After investigation, found out that the .dbf files is not avaiable in the oradata folder, i have tried to copy those files from the working one but the problem stay the same, probably there are a lot of files more missing.
    Appreciate your help on this.

  • If "ORACLE not available" how to refresh connection pool

    Hi,

    i'm installing a new instance, so i don't need neither to set ORACLE_SID, nor to connect to db. i mean... i give my oracle sid in the GUI of the dbassist.
    then it's supposed to set it and connect to the instance by its own. the point is that when it tryes the connect internal, it fails.
    i bet the trouble is in the /etc/system parameters, but i don't know exactly where....

  • Urgent! Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available for Oracle10gi

    I have used SQL*Plus for a while, but recently when I try to login there is this error message:
    Error:
    ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
    ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
    I had search for the solution quite a while. I changed the "sqlnet.ora" from C:\OraHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
    I changed SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NT; to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE and then reboot the machine.
    The weird thing is that sometimes it works after I reboot the machine, but recently this just doesn't work any more. The SQL*Plus generates the same error message as I wrote above.
    It seems like this kind of problem has troubled lots of oracle database users. IS this a bug that exists in the Oracle10gi?
    Or does Oracle10gi require to run on certain operating system platform like Windows XP Professional but does not support for Windows XP Home Edition?
    Can the Oracle company provide some error solution guide for the public for their own system?
    many thanks

    No this specific error message is not a result of an Oracle bug to my knowledge.
    In my experience it is a simple matter of not using Oracle correctly. Only it is not that simple from a pure end-user perspective as Oracle is not a mickey mouse little filing system that pretends to be a database (like MS Access).
    Which makes sense. After all, driving a bicycle does not mean one is able to get on a superbike. And if you respond "what!! why is it a superbike!?" then you need a bicycle in the first place.
    The cause of the error you list - the client is making a local IPC dedicated server connection to the Oracle instance. This fails as the dedicated server cannot find the Oracle SGA (shared memory area) to attached to. This is usually the result of
    a) the Oracle instance is down (and thus the SGA does not exist)
    b) the ORACLE_SID used by the client is incorrect (and thus it attempts to attach to a non-existant SGA)
    Reason (a) could be caused by some underlaying issue that results in the Oracle instance shutting down automatically or unintentionally.
    As for what Oracle 10G requires operating system wise. There are detailed platform certification matrixes on the Oracle web site. In addition, the INSTALLATION notes of Oracle also specifies what platforms are supported.
    You also fail to mention the exact Oracle product you're running. Oracle XE is different than Oracle Standard Edition which is different than Oracle Enterprise Edition.
    There is btw a dedicated support forum here for Oracle XE - and this one ain't it.

  • D-Link wireless + Cable Internet:: can't connect via AirPort

    Just got my service changed from DSL to Cable and can't connect via wireless (but can with an Ethernet cable). Have tried the Wi Router settings to no avail. Any ideas? I think I might not be doing some setting in the comp correctly. Please help. Router is D-Link DIR-625.

    Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

    However, when I try and create a third using the defaults, after 2%, dbca receives an ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available and stops the creation process.
    I've searched 16 hours or so for a similar issue, but haven't had much luck other than to check sqlnet.ora for OS authentication, the registry keys, and tnsnames.ora.
    I've looked at the trace log for dbca a few times for the different attempts at creating a new database, and they tend to differ when the error is generated.
    Looking at Event Viewer, I noticed that connection events occurred during installation, and that for at least one case, CONNECT / AS SYSDBA occured 3 times before the error was generated.
    I've made more than 3 databases on another machine (XP - not server 2003), without any issue, but it seems odd that this error would be because of server 2003.
    I'm fairly inexperienced with configuring databases for Oracle, so please excuse my ignorance.
    Here's a log file to accompany the issue:

    I found out from another dba that oracle takes up 1 gb of memory by default. So creating 2 databases with default settings means that 2 gb of memory was taken on a windows 32 bit server. So that means only 2 gb is available to the machine, and the server takes up more than half of that making the memory available scarce for another oracle database to be created.

  • URGENT-ORACLE not available

    Hi,
    I'm using Oracle 8i and Windows 2000.
    Until now, i didn't have any problem.
    Today when i tried to connect to the database many times, but i have problem.
    I dont't have any connection and one message it appears
    ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
    i saw the reference for the error messages :
    cause: Oracle was not started. Possible causes include the following:
    - The SGA requires more space than was allocated fot it.
    - The operating-system variable pointing to the instatnce is improperly defined.
    BUT I DONT'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
    THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    I get ORA-01034: ORACLE not available and also ORA-00371: not enough shared pool memory, should be at least 102341017 ( below startup nomount pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initDEMO111.ora
    I set my ORACLE_SID at /home/ora111 and I edited bash_profile. Put and export ORACLE_SID=DEMO111
    any Idea..?? please help.
    best regard.

    well thats true. I changed shared_pool_size to 112500000. Database created. Then I add :
    undo_management=auto
    undo_tablespace=PSUNDOTS
    remote_login_passwordfile=NONE.
    Q : How do we make password file like the guide said?
    I ran utlspace.sql then PSTEMP and PSDEFAULT tablespace created.
    I ran dbowner.sql then PSDBOWNER table, Index, sysnonym created. then revoke connect, resource, dba from PS.
    I ran hcddl.sql then a lot of tablespaces created. But there are some tablespaces that were error.
    The notification are same. ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-19502: write error on file "/oradata/DEMO111/psindex.dbf", block number
    153856 (block size=8192)
    ORA-27072: File I/O error
    Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory.
    Additional information: 4
    Additional information: 153856
    Additional information: 839680
    Q: Do you get same error? Is it about block number or block size?
    I continued to run psroles.sql PSUSER role and PSADMIN role created. Also Grant succeeded.
    I continued to run psadmin.sql twice because I miss the name. Second time I runned psadmin.sql, I put SYSADM as Peoplesoft Owner ID and PS as Peoplesoft Owner ID Password.
    Q: What is Peoplesoft Owner ID Password? We create the Peoplesoft Owner ID Password in this running or it already created before.?
    I continued to run connect.sql.
    I cannot alter system set NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS=CHAR scope=both; But I can create spfile (I copy initDEMO111.ora to /apps/oracle/admin/DEMO111/pfile )
    I install peopletools 8.49 first and peoplesoft HRMS 9 at the same directory on Window XP. ( c:\apps\psoft\hrms9)
    but when I compare with your steps, it's different from this picture. I go to All Programs, I just see Peopletools 8.49 there.
    http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GAPqu9CUk1k/R4aT2fOgWiI/AAAAAAAAAN4/WYYq8JdsAfw/s1600-h/1ScreenShot001_LoadAppl.jpg
    I go to Configuration Manager on my client computer, connect password is disable. What can I do for this
    When I installed peopletools 8.49 ( both on Window XP and OEL 5.3), the installer did not ask for cd 2 to cd 7. I just runned cd 1, and it said "installShield wizard successfully installed...." It should skip the cd 5 on Windows XP, the installer did not ask the cd 2 and the rest. What's wrong?
    (I just re-formated my computer with OEL 5.3 and installed again from tuxedo)
    well, I just downloaded Oracle Client 11gR1 and installed with Administrator Type.
    Q: How we connect to database server with Oracle Client like you said before that I will need Oracle Client runtime installation..?
    hope you can help. :)
    best Regard.

    is it because I have not created the database... ?Yes, it is because you have not created a database.
    It is A Good Thing (tm) that you actually copied and pasted the entire error message. Some here seem to think "it doesn't work" is an actionable error message. However, for future reference, error messages are the result of something happening. They are far more meaningful if you were to also copy and paste the command that triggered the error.
    if yes can some one please guide me how I can create database...
    Easiest way is to use the utility 'dbca' (database configuration assistant).

    Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
    Go to tahiti.oracle.com.
    Drill down to your product and version.
    <b><i><u>BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION</u></i></b>
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
    Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
    Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what <b><i><u>kind</u></i></b> of information is available there.
    Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
    Do the same with the Utilities manual.
    You don't have to read the above in depth. They are <b><i><u>reference</b></i></u> manuals. Just get familiar with <b><i><u>what</b></i></u> is there to <b><i><u>be</b></i></u> referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
    Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
    - Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
    - Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
    - Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
    - When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.
    Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
