How to reinstall Oracle 8i when I have an existing database

I used to have a perfectly working Oracle database installed on my domain. However, when I moved this computer physically to another location and try to make it a standalone, it did not work. After which tried to relocate back to the original location but encountered the following errors:
ORA-12500 TNS:listener failed to start a dedicated server process.
The Oracle Service when seen through the control panel shows Started.
However, i am just unable to logon to the database.
My question is : If I were to reinstall the Oracle, what are the steps that I should take such that my database will not be lost.
Have tried to do an export of the database but encountered the following error :
EXP-00056:ORACLE error 12560 encountered
ORA-12560:TNS:protocol adapter error
EXP-00000:Export terminated unsuccessfully
Would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

    I wanted editing a photo from lightroom to elements but lightroom did not open elements. Your site said first to reinstall Elements before to try more comlicated things. It is the worst thing I ever done. Now i have lost Elements at all. It does not want to reinstall. Very funny. I tried all Adobe (!!!) suggestions: change OOBE for OOBE.bak; copy file from the dvd to computer before autorun executable,etc etc NOTHING WORKS !
    Adobe suggested to download ASA program but only to tell us that it does more exist !!! After that they suggested to try to find MANUALLY the dailies failure reports !!! It is impossible to understand those reports

  • How to re-download Apps when you have canceled and then restarted a membership

    Hi There,
    I recently (in the last two weeks) canceled a membrship, and then started a new membership. In that time my apps expired so I deleted them from my harddrive. Today, I wanted to reinstall apps, but when I did via the CC Downloader it had all my old apps from the previous membership logged. I do not have a backup of my hard drive so i can't reinstall my sytem with the former apps. So, what are my options.
    I am on the latest MAC OS.
    Thanks in advance for any assistance!

  • How to install Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 Rac Database on Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2.0 (Windows 2012 R2)

    Hi all.
    This is the scenario:
    I have a 2 node cluster Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 x86_64, the nodes are part of domain.
    Installed Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) as follows:
    Installation done using domain administrator named "installoracle" that has been EXPLICIT promoted to local administrator in both nodes.
    One domain user named "oracle12c" with no administrator privileges neither in the domain or nodes.
    Installation, after a lot of customization in the OS of the nodes, has gone ok, perfect indeed, not even a warning during runinstaller execution.
    All services and resources are up & running, I have rebooted nodes and all comes back ok in place. In windows services I can see some services started with "oracle12c" user, and all windows groups: DBA, SYSKM, etc, has been created.
    Now I have to install Oracle RAC database in 11gR2 version (11.2.0.4.0) to accomplish with application requirements.
    So, I execute runInstaller (setup.exe) logged as administrator via domain administrator "installoracle" (the one that was able to do the smooth 12c GI installation) and the gui comes with out problems, but at 4th screen the one in which you have to choose what kind of installation you want to do (Single, RAC or RoN) I select RAC option, the gui returns error: crs is not running in the local node...
    Finally, in order to deliver some database 11.2.0.4.0 for my customer, I try to do installation of SW for Single Node, I did using "installoracle". The sw has been installed in one of the nodes. Then I have created a database and I have stored datafiles in ASM (this ASM is part of 12c clusterware) and also register the 11gR2 single instance database in the Grid Infrastructure listener
    So, whats next??? Why is this behavior??? I did similar installations in Linux/Solaris with no issue (well as everyone can imagine, always there are some issues, but when solved you got GI in 12c and databases in the release that you want 12c, 11g, 10g...)
    Any clue?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Best Regards!!

    To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
    Instructions are available at
    How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
    In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
    But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade. 
    Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
    Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

  • How to reinstall os x when experiencing kernel panics

    Okay I am not a very good MAC user, i just use it to test browsers for development. I rarely ever use it and dont install any software in it but one day it decided to give the kernel panics where it talks about "You need to restart your computer" blah blah.. I tried following the support this site offers about (pressing x key or option or whatever) and that didn't seem to work. Now I am trying to reinstall OS X since I don't know what else to do. I put the disc into the computer.. i press the power button twice to restart.. and just get the same kernel panics.. so I guess my question is, how do i bring up the installer?
    PS i do not know which version of mac osx i have since it does not say on the disc and i cannot start my computer to find out.

    Yes, it is the multilanguage thing in the center.
    And then in the top left is a list of stuff and the first word is "panic". Other stuff it says is like "kernel trap" "Debugger called: <panic>" "Mas OSX Version: not yet set" "BSD process name corresponding to current thread: kernel task", bunch of error codes, etc.
    I'm not sure if its in the console but it looks like a a list of errors you'd seen in a unix console.
    uh oh. Well i have a windows setup.. my mini is attached to my dell monitor and microsoft keyboard and logitech mouse via usb. i tried restarting the computer with these things not attached which didnt seem to help.
    when i first bought the mini 2 years ago i popped it open and replaced the ram. but that was two years ago and its always worked fine! D;
    Thanks for the links, i'll read them.

    Hi,
    You don't need to uninstall it, but you can drag the old application to the trash when you're sure you're through with it.
    I hope you have the full Logic 8 - if you have bought the upgrade from 7 to 8 you would still need the XS key to install it.
