Abu shahdHi,
Really I dont know what editing Symantech Backup 2012 in oratab.
As you know, oratab file may contain comments staring with a pound signs (#) in column one,
and data lines consisting of entries in the following format:
for example : admdb:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome:N
Oracle's "dbstart" and "dbshut" scripts use this file to figure out which instances are to be start up or shut down
(using the third field, Y or N).
I think Symantech Backup 2012 editing only this sentence N to Y for database.
It is not problem for your instance.

Can't change /etc/oratab file or automatic startup problem on linux!!!

Hi friends,
I have installed an Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Oracle Linux Server 5.11(Virtualbox). I have the users grid and oracle11g. Add groups and install grid infrastructure first as a grid user and install database as oracle user as in documentation successfully.
I have following users and groups as
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ id grid
   uid=501(grid) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),492(vboxsf),501(grid),503(dba),505(asmdba),506(asmadmin),507(asmoper)

When I log on as grid user. I check the followings:
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ crsctl check has
CRS-4638: Oracle High Availability Services is online
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl status database -d ora11g

When I edit /etc/oratab file; change N to Y for +ASM and restart the system, then it seems value N is not changed to Y. But changed for database as shown below.
     +ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid:N   # line added by Agent
     ora11g:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
QUESTIONS!!!!!
1. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved (changed N to Y manually) but the first row become unsaved (although changed N to Y) again after restarting the system?
2. After restarting the system database and ASM started automatically, although the line is not changed to Y above (in oratab file) for ASM. What is the reason and how can I change to Y? Or if I have to change the N to Y or not?
3. Is it enough to edit N to Y in oratab file for ASM and database to start ASM and database automatically? I think there will be some other scripts have to be created in /etc/init.d/ directory for automatic startup.
PLEASE HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM CLEARLY!!!!
Thanks!!!

Thanks for reply ZeDBA,
I don't want to prevent auto starting. As 2769577 stated above that
    "...You may not need to edit in oratab since it's automatically taken care by HAS in 11g..."
It is meaningful and perhaps it is the exact reason or solution.
Question is that, why I can't edit oratab file manually for ASM row? ' Not need ' and ' can't ' is different!!
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
+ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grhome_1:N        # line added by Agent
ora11g:/u01/app/oracle11g/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
If we assume the 2769577's answer is exactly correct, reason or solution. Then it means that the row "..
+ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grhome_1:N
# line added by Agent
in oratab file is meaningless and unnecessary if HAS process enabled and automatically start the ASM.
Please clarify it, If I am wrong?
Thanks!!!

Question on Oratab file when installing two Oracle instances in one machine

OS: AIX 5.3
DB version:10.2.0.1.0
I already have an instance of version 9.2 which is very important and which we don't want to upgrade and we wanted another test(unimportant) oracle instance called testdb_10gR2 of version 10.2.0.1.0 on the same machine.
So i installed 10.2.0.1.0 on a different ORACLE_HOME .Installation of the new 10.2.0.1.0 (testdb_10gR2) went ahead successfully and at the last step i have to log in as root and execute root.sh
I entered 'n' for the options "dbhome", "oraenv", "coraenv" as shown below so that the settings for our 9.2 instance (which is very important) will remain intact.
What would have happened if i entered 'y' ie. Overwrite ?
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /u04/testdb_10gR2_Feb2009
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: /usr/local/bin
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.

'dbhome','oraenv','coraenv' are sripts used to set a proper environment (see the descriptions at the beginning of these scripts). These scripts rely on oratab (they check for existing SIDs), but answering 'Y' does not mean you will modifiy an existing oratab.
I think these scripts change rarely, so it's very likely overwriting the existing 9i scripts with the 10g scripts changes nothing. To be honest I don't use the scripts , so in my case 'Y' or 'N' doesn't matter. But important is you don't have to worry about 'oratab'.

Asterick in /etc/oratab entry?

I am having problems finding documentation on this. What does the *, asterick in the /etc/oratab file do? Ex: *:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1:Y
Please advise.
Thanks,
--Justin

In a pinch, you could read the /usr/local/bin/oraenv script.

/etc/oratab

what's the purpose of this file?
what it means when some DBs are Y and some are N in /etc/oratab
test1:/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.5:Y
test2:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1:Y

I think this file is for the OS to know which database to be started on booting the OS by specifying this file in the startup scripts rc.OS has nothing to do with /etc/oratab and we dont specify this file in OS startup scripts. The OS startup script always call dbstart/dbshut and these oracle provided scripts read the /etc/oratab file to find out which database needs to bring up at the time of system startup.

No /etc/oratab

Hi,
i have just installed 10gR2 database on RHEL AS4.
but cant find the /etc/oratab file.
whether ths file automatically created or we have to create it manually.
Thanks
Sohil

If you did a software only install, it is possible the file did not get created.
If you did not run the $ORACLE_HOME/root.sh after installing the software, it is possible the file did not get created.
Please show the results of
ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle

On my laptop running windows 7 most of the information has disappeared from the window - headings (file, edit, view, etc), address bar and navigation buttons - all i can see is tabs - how do i get the missing items to display

On my laptop running windows 7 all the info displayed at the top of the homepage window is missing. All headings, i. e. File, Edit View, etc. are gone. There is no address bar. There is no home button, refresh button, etc. My wife was using the machine when it happened so I don't know what she did. How do I restore these features?

F11 did not work F10 did. ThaNK YOU FOR THE HELP

How do I get "File", "Edit", "View", etc. to show up on my toolbar rather than them all being consolidated into "Menu"?

I don't want everything consolidated under "Menu", I want to see "File", "Edit", "View", etc. listed across my toolbar. I played around with it as much as possible, and I have searched Firefox Help to no avail. I can't believe this option would be non-existent. The consolidation may be visually pleasing, but functionally it's annoying and is slightly more time consuming. Please help, thank you very much. (^-^)/

I am using CS6 InDesign on a PC using a Windows 7 operating system.
Due to eyesight issues, I need to have the menu bars of programs in easy-to-read font and picture size. Specifically, the menu bar across the top (File, Edit, View, etc.), and the menu bar on the left side with the graphic depiction of options.
In earlier versions of Windows (e.g. XP), whenever I changed the screen resolution on my computer to a lesser resolution in order to show the link icons on my desktop in a larger, more readable size, all the software programs, including yours, appeared on my screen with the menu bars in the larger font size that I needed.
However, in Windows 7, this is not the case. Even though I have selected the lowest resolution, making the icons on my desktop extremely large, I cannot read the options across the top menu bar of your program, nor the pull-down menu items that they contain. I cannot see the graphic depictions of options on the left side of the screen. They are all too small. How can I make your program increase the size?

NO way.

The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.
Similar issue: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/783078

CS3: highlited bars popped up under File, Edit, etc.

Using PHP CS3 on PowerMac OSX 4.1.1.
Problem:
Have these highlighted bars (light purple) on certain random files under menus that are in use or not.
Been using PHP for 20+ years, never had this problem. Have contacted Adobe, which answer was, I have to update to CS5, which won't run on my version OSX nor my machine.
Worked for a couple of hours, then shut down, came back to project later. This just "popped up" without changing anything nor adding plug-ins. If you go under File, Edit, Image, etc. I now have these highlighted bars (light purple) on certain random files that are in use or not.
Example: Under Image- Have only Mode, Variables, Apply Data Set, & Trap that have these bars.
Have searched all over in PHP CS3 for something that "clicked" on. Nothing. So I thought it could be a virus, ran virus check, nothing. Ran Disk Utilities, nothing. I even, un-installed then re-installed software, nothing. The bars are still there. The software still works normally.
What happen? How do I undo this or turn this off? Please help me.

It sounds like the menu items are highlighted which happens when
certain workspaces in photoshop are selected.
Go to Window>Workspace and choose Default Workspace or a workspace you
have saved. If you had a custom workspace you may have to save it again.
If you never want to see the menu items highlighted regardless of the
workspace settings, under Preferences>Interface uncheck Show Menu Colors.
