Database Control Alerts ORA-01034

Why am I getting these alerts on email every day (I have Oracle Standard Edition 11.2.0.3 on Linux 64bit) :

The notification rules,"Failed Backups" and "Database Availability and Critical States", triggered the mail notifications. Verify whether database instance was down around Jun 3, 2012 3:10:16 AM EDT. The database's alert log file should tell you when the database was stopped and started.
To view notification rules: go to Preferences > (Notification) Rules.
Hope this helps.

Database connection error ORA-01034 oracle not available

Hi
Can some one help me out from this probs. I have a oracle8.15 enterprize edition running on solaris 5.6. It's been running fine since few months from deffent clients. But today its giving ORA-01034 error when i try to connect to database from cliend side. I found that database is up and running and we can access it on server. But from client i am getting the above error. Oracle documentation shows " The operating system variable pointing to the instance is improperly defined".
I would aprreciate if some body helps out of this problem.
Thanks in advance
K. Srinivas

Hi,
Oracle uses the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID variables to create a unique shared memory hash key for each instance.
This problem can happen if your environment variables are set differently when the database is started compared to the user who is getting the error. The error indicates that the executable (sqlplus, svrmgrl) can't find the shared memory segment, which means that the ORACLE_HOME variable is not set correctly somewhere.
Bye,

ORA-01034 creating new database with Oracle 8i for NT

Hi everyone!
I've succesfully installed Oracle 8i Stanard Edition 8.1.6 on a server Intel with 256 Mb Ram and Windows NT Server 4.0 with SP6a. I've succesfully created a standard database but if i try to create a custom database the creation stops with ORA-01034 error: Oracle not available. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Luca

That error message usually represents the fact that Oracle is not running. Check the task manager services tab and see if Oracle is running.
It can be configured to start automatically if it is not already.

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while creating ASM or database

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.
Any idea guys?? How to resolve this issue??

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_check_verify_windows_services.htm
Have you tried using oradim?
http://www.dba-oracle.com/tips_oradim_utility.htm
The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .

ORA-01034 Could not connect to Oracle company database

Well I am even unable to connect from windows 98 as well from linux server machine where database is installed !
My dbstart is opening the datbase, lsnrctl is working okie, it is showing the services for orcl database, tnsnames.ora is okie.
But when i try to connect using sqlplus from the linux machine or from 98 machine thro' telnet or enterprise manager of 98, it is giving error ORA-01034 oracle not avaiable.
Any guidence.
You can also mail me on [email protected]
I am using oracle 8i 8.1.6
Thanx in advance,
Naimesh Trivedi

The problem is OBIEE server not able to read the tnsnames.ora file. That depends upon the what you set as ORACLE_HOME. that can be find with tnsping command at command line. Follow this article about setting up oracle home and oci drivers
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/oracle-bi-ee-101332-identifying-oracle-homes-for-oci-drivers/
please make sure that your DB-home is the first entry in your PATH environment variable.
Have you created TNS_ADMIN environment variable. Create a environment variable TNS_ADMIN which maps to location where tnsnames.ora file located.
let me know if you are not able to load after this steps.

Database Control: File System Alert -

I am using 10.2 on HP UNIX 11. My development database is installed on a server, which is hared by many other applications/database. DB Control sends me alerts when file system is more than 80% used or so. I do not want to receive any file system alerts because these file systems are not my file systems.
I do not find any place to turn this alert off. Appreciate any help?

Gee whiz. In this thread (Database Control: Not sending e-mail you were complaining about not* getting email for that same condition. You say "I do not want to receive any file system alerts because these file systems are not my file systems.
" Some of the file systems are yours ... the ones holding $ORACLE_BASE and any fs holding any file even remotely related to your db ... .dbf files, redo logs, backup sets, archivelog files, bdump and other *dump directories. I like to be notified if they go over 80%.

ORA-01034 when trying to create a database

I successfully installed Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 8, but when I tried creating a database (by executing sql<SID>.sh after I ran "dbassist"), this error appeared:
ORA-01034: Oracle not available.
I could not use svrmgrl to do a startup because there is NO database.
What services have to run before I can create a database?
Thank you.
null

I chose "custom installation" and not to create a database during installation. There was no error when I installed the Oracle software and I modified the /etc/system (shmmax, shmmin, etc.) according to the Oracle documentation. After that, I used "dbassist" to create a database. Then the "ORA-01034: Oracle not available" appeared.
I also tried to install Oracle with "Typical" option that is suppose to create the initial database for me. It also failed. The same error appeared when the 'Database Configuration Tools' were trying to create the database files.

Can not view alerts at Database Control Page

Dear Gurus,
I have upgraded database from 9i (9.2.0.7) to 10g (10.2.0.4) but I am unable to view alert on Database Control home page although STATISTICS_LEVEL parameter is set to TYPICAL
any idea what should I do in this regard,
thanks
asif

If You are saying it generated a huge message log, then it sounds quite unusual.
Are there any messages like
....not running ....
But better would be if You post here what You see on screen.
Or look into
$ORACLE_HOME/hostname/sysman/log - are there any errors in logfiles?

Create database reposiroty problem! [ORA-01034]

Dear All,
My database is 11gR1 and Linux is the operating system.
My Database is running fine, listener is started but i am unable to access Oracle Enterprise Manager. For this i decided to drop and create repository.
To drop I did the following:
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db -repos drop
DROP USER sysman CASCADE;
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM setemviewusercontext;
DROP ROLE mgmt_user;
DROP PUBLIC SYNONYM mgmt_target_blackouts;
DROP USER mgmt_view;
To create i am doing the following:
emca -config dbcontrol db -repos create
But when it asks for the password for DBSNMP user it started giving the error:
*Invalid username/password. [ORA-01034: ORACLE not available]*
However, oracle is running and I can connect to DBSNMP user bu providing the correct password using SQlplus.
Strange problem for me, kindly help.
Regards, Imran

The "create" would have been interactive. Among other things (like the DBSNMP password) it would have asked you for information about the database instance : Host/IP, Port, ServiceName. Verify that you entered that information correctly.

Oracle 11g Installation DBCA ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available

I have two oracle databases installed (using the default settings in dbca) and running on a Windows 2003 R2 server, already.
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.

Hi Wim
You should say that "It may be Control File problem", but you shouldn't say that "it's due to Control File" problem
Please refer to Errors Documentation for more information on ORA-00600
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14219/e0.htm#sthref371
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string]
Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program exceptions. This indicates that a process has encountered an exceptional condition.
Action: Report as a bug - the first argument is the internal error number

Error using RMAN thru Database Control

Hello guys..
I installed Oracle 10gR2 on solaris 10, and created a sample DB called HEAT. This database is configured to run in Archivelog mode and also created Flash_recovery_area.
Iam trying to take a simple backup thru RMAN using OEM ( Database Control). there is only 1 database on that server and i plan to use controlfile instead of recovery catalog.
Now here are the steps when i execute, i get an ERROR.
1. connected as 'sys' from Database Control.
2. Went to Maintenence Tab, click in Backup settings.
3. click on Device Tab, enter OS credentials and click on "Test disk backup"..
4. I get an error that says "Disk Backup Test Failed!"
When click on View Error Details :

I only have 1 database , and it is configured to backup using Control file and not Recovery catalog ( which is the default)...
What additional steps do i have to do, to take a simple backup using database control ? I am not sure why it says Database not available...while DB is indeed available and open.
any help is appreciated..
thanks

I, too, am receiving these same errors when I do my backups. The sysadmin took the systems down over the weekend and the backup has failed ever since. Database is up, ORACLE_SID looks fine, what could be wrong? This nightly backup worked before system went down. I can connect as sysdba using the ORACLE_SID as set.
Thanks,
Candy
