Auto starting Oracle at boot time

I have installed Oracle 11gr2 on Oracle Enterprise Linux successfully. Now i want to make oracle available automatically at boot time. I mean whenever server is up Oracle starts automatically.

It is not happening. I have to run dbstart script to make oracle available.
In ubuntu, we create /etc/init.d/oracledb script file, and with the use of following commands, oracle starts at boot time
chmod a+x /etc/init.d/oracledb
update-rc.d oracledb defaults 99
What i need is, its parallel for OEL.

How do I start slapd at boot time in leopard?

Greeting,
Forgive me if this is the wrong forum/community.
I want to start slapd at boot time on my new leopard upgrade. On tiger, it was as simple as having an LDAPSERVER=-YES- line in /etc/hostconfig. That does not seem to work for leopard. I can run slapd from the command line. I needed to make changes to the slapd.conf tiger version and reload my database, but all is working fine. I just have not been able to get the deamon to start at boot up. It must be simple. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Texas Mac Man,
Thanks. Slapd is the OpenLDAP daemon (server) delivered with MacOS, even Client. No, starting at the user level is not what I need. I can already do that in a terminal window with /usr/libexec/slapd, after I get su'ed to root.
Think Unix, not iApps. When the system boots up, there should be scripts available to start specific daemons. I am looking for hints there.
BDAqua,
Thanks. I had seen that first discussion before. It deals with slapd failing when it tries to start on MacOS Server... where all these daemons indeed start at boot time. I am just trying to figure out how to do in leopard what I successfully did in tiger, namely start /usr/libexec/slapd at boot time.
And note, this is not an issue with slapd failing due to slapd.conf or database problems. All works fine from the user lever start.
Thanks,

How to prevent from starting oracle server every time i start windows?

I have winXP professinonal, and i would like to know how to prevent from starting oracle server every time i start windows. Because it really slows starting the windows. Thanks

The scripts above seems to work as intended with no errors and do indeed stop my five XE services. I created the second script to start them and they do indeed start and are listed as "Started" in the Services panel aferwards.
My XE installation has the 5 services set up to start automatically.
I was happy to find the script above because I did not know the starting order and using the XE shortcuts for "Stop Database" and "Start Database" just seemed to cause sqlplus to receive ORA-12514 "listener does not currently know of service..." after trying to use them to restart the database. Using the scripts above seems to leave me with a different error.
I am pretty sure I eliminated my 9i listener and it is no longer listed in my Services panel or the registry.
Restarting the laptop does start the services correctly, and now I am on to a more pressing JDBC error, so if I get a chance to use the script again, I will post my results. Thanks.

Strange error message when starting listener at boot time

Hi I have SuSE 10 server and Oracle 10.2.0
I followed the instruction on my how configure /etc/init.d/dbora to start
the db instance and the listener at boot time
The db instance starts fine;however, the listener doesnt start and gives the following strange message
"cannot start using /ade/vikrkuma_new/oracle/bin/tnslnr"
Does anyone has seen this and is there a workaround?
It looks like to me the listener tries to locate the listener.ora but it fails
I tried to force it by setting TNS_ADMIN in my /etc/init.d/dbora script but it still doesnt pick it up
any clue?

Hi,
Check your oracle bin varible and oracle home varible. If possible can you force this?
Cheers,

-bash: c: No such file or directoryThe /etc/profile line 51 seems to be incorrect. No space between the "+if+" and the bracket condition.
E.g.
/home/billy> if[ \$USER = "oracle" ]; then echo true;else echo false;fi
bash: syntax error near unexpected token `then'
/home/billy> if [ \$USER = "oracle" ]; then echo true;else echo false;fi
falseWhy do you use a leading slash for the +$USER+ variable? It changes it from a variable to a literal.
/home/billy> echo $USER
billy
/home/billy> echo \$USER
$USERLiteral "+$USER+" will never equal literal "+oracle+".

How to auto start XAMPP at boot?

Placing:

Probably /etc/rc.local would be your best bet.

Auto starting applications on boot

I'd love to have terminal auto start and position in the bottom left of the screen. What file should I edit to make this happen? And, what how can I specify where the applicaiton should appear?
I looked for a rc.conf file, but could not find. Perhaps there is an easy way of doing this in the GUI.
Which is the best approach?

Run Terminal and set the window size and position you want, then use "Save As..." from the "File" menu to create a settings file. Add this file to the "Login Items" in "Accounts" System Preference.

Starting Oracle XE on linux by /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start

Hello,
I installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition on a Linux Ubuntu 7.04 (feisty)
following official installation instructions found here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABCEAHD
but I noticed a weird behavior.
The installation process was ok.
The configuration process (/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure) was also ok.
I set everything on default except for the “starting on boot” option I choose NO, because the instructions let me understand that I can start the service manually by the command:
$ /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
The configuration process at the end also started the service well, so I could test my new oracle installation on my web browser following the url http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex
Everything went fine... but...
On the next boot I wanted to start my oracle so I typed
sudo /etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
but nothing happened and the server didn't go up.
Looking into to script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe
we can find this switch
case "$1" in
start)
     if test -f "$CONFIGURATION"
     then
          if test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
          then
               exit 0
          fi
     else
     echo "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is not configured. You must run
'/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure' as the root user to configure the database."
          exit 0
     fi
     start
this means that if you chose NO (N) for the “starting on boot” option on the configuration process (NB this choice put false in the env variable ORACLE_DBENABLED) you can't start the dbms by this script.
I try comment the few lines
     then
          #if test "$ORACLE_DBENABLED" != "true"
          #then
          #     exit 0
          #fi
     else
and this time the server starts well.
So I deduced that something was wrong with the script and the official installation instructions.

Yes... Thank you.
But I saw the problem could to be simple avoided using the options
enable/disable for the script /etc/init.d/oracle-xe,
If you choose not to start oracle at boot time, you can start it
manually by the sequence
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe enable
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe start
then when you want to stop it
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe stop
/etc/init.d/oracle-xe disable
by this last command we don't make oracle restart
at the next system boot.
I think it would be a good thing to update the reference
documentation at
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/files/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABCEAHD
to explain this situation better.

Unable to start Oracle 10g instance on boot time (CentOS)

Hi all,
I am trying to automate oracle instance start-up on boot time. I have created /etc/oratab and /etc/init.d/dbora files. Also, all the links for run-levels 2,3,4 are set. My machine boots in run-level 3. While I can start the database manually, after the system has booted, I am not able to automate the instance start-up at boot time. Following is the error, I get:
oracle: /oracle/bin/lsnrctl: error while loading shared libraries: libclntsh.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I know that normally this problem occurs due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable problem. So, I have set the following in /etc/init.d/dbora file.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

SMF - start at boot time, but don't restart - possible?

I'm setting up a software package that has a number of background processes.
I've got SMF manifests created and imported for all of them, and they're working great for starting the processes at boot time, and doing the automatic restarts when one fails.
Here's my problem. It turns out that the users of this software want to be able to use the software's integrated process control methods to stop some of their processes. With the current configuration, they use the software's method to stop one of it's processes, and SMF promptly restarts it.
Is there a way to set up SMF managed software so that SMF starts it at boot time, but then doesn't care if stops later?
Richard

I'm not sure how it would be SMF "managed" in such a case. Obviously you want the management to be elsewhere.
You could use the "legacy" startup scripts in /etc/rcX.d. That will start a process and forget about it, just like pre-Solaris 10. You don't use manifests or have any other benefits of SMF.
If you do want SMF, I guess the question is how you want it to act..
When the users stop the processes, do you want SMF to say enabled or disabled? SMF does not track enabled processes by periodic polling, it does it by tracking contracts. This means that starting a process outside of SMF does not allow SMF to track it.

Process start at boot time..

Hi All,
I am developing a client application which needs to be start up at boot time and there is one more requirement that no body
should be able to delete this to provide it security.
Please reply .
Thanks

Hi,
Processes, are not able to start at boot-time as the "processes" is a OS based concept. The closest method you can do is replace the bootloader of Windows with your bootloader then load the Windows through your bootloader, and before loading the OS your
Bootloader can perform any calculations or start files up as soon as Windows loads. This is the only way to start processes closest to Boot time.
In windows vista+ OS this technique would not work because Windows Vista+ has Session separation which by design separates processes into sessions and if you were to start it as soon as the OS starts the process would crash the entire OS as the process would
not be able to fit in any session as it started before "Winlogon.exe"
process. Therefore it is not really possible.

How do I start service at boot?

Hello,
I am relatively new to arch, so I have played with it since .3 on and off but never as a server. Right now I can start mysql, httpd and exim just fine, but they don't seem to be starting up at boot time. How do I fix this?
Thanks,
mrjohnston

Hi mrjohnston,
You have to add an entry for each daemon in the DAEMONS array in the file /etc/rc.conf. If you add "exim" (for example) to the DAEMONS line, the file /etc/rc.d/exim will be executed, and that should get it started at bootup.
Cheers.

Auto start bi services on reboot

Any suggestions on the best way to auto start the BI services like OC4J, SAW, SA, Scheduler using scripting when the server is reboot? Maybe include a delay between each and check each service is up.
/apps/OracleBI/setup/
nohup ./oc4j -start > nohup_oc4j_start.out &
./run-sa.sh start
./run-saw.sh start
./run-sch.sh start
Thanks for the help!!

Automatically start oracle after reboot

Is there a way to automatically start oracle after reboot? Our platform is Soaris 10 and Oracle 10.2.0.1.0

(1) Don't forget to edit $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart. (Note:337927.1)
Original line:
ORATAB=/etc/oratab
Modified line:
ORATAB=/var/opt/oracle/oratab
(2) As per Note:336299.1 use:
dbstart $ORACLE_HOME
or
dbstart /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 (or whatever is your Oracle_Home)
or you'll get: "ORACLE_HOME_LISTNER is not SET, unable to auto-start Oracle Net Listener"
