ORA-01033 problem

Hello, friend:
First thanks for John's help yesterday.
Now when I tried to log in sqlplus, it keeps saying "ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress". I've waited for very long time for it to initialize but nothing happens.
I rebooted machine last time when I didn't shut down the Oracle database, did it
cause such problem? How can I figure out it?
Thanks.
Jeff Li

The reason you are getting the message is due to the abnormal shutdown of the database (restarting without shutting down the db). Leave it alone for some time, however, it could be possible that the initialization/shutdown process could be hanging. If there is no progress, I suggest you call Tech Support.

  • ORA-01552 problem, plz help it's urgent

    Actually, before one week I made (run Norton QuikScan) & this ended by the ORA-01033 problem, I realized that the file (E:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.\ORADATA\ORCL\UNDOTBS01.DBF)
    was corrupted, so I dropped it from the (Dos command Prompt), then the system generated it again and then everything was excellent.
    After that I couldn't create any new tables.
    NB. I've more than 30 large table.
    then i got the ORA-01552 problem,
    cannot use system rollback segment for non-system tablespace...
    i did this:(
    & i got this error:
    SQL> alter system set undo_management=manual scope=spfile;
    System altered.

    i need to solve it...:(
    is it correct to uninstall the ORACLE & install it again.
    thanks in advance.

    ORA-01033 ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
    Cause: An attempt was made to log on while Oracle is being started or shut down.
    Action: Wait a few minutes. Then retry the operation.
    Does not mean your datafile was corrupted!! You meed to recover the undo dbf. It does not have anything to do with reinstalling Oracle. You can restore from hot backup and recover the db, or drop and recreate the undo ts at mount.

  • ORA-01033 Error cannot be traced in the alert log or v$views

    Hello There,
    I'm hoping you can shed some light on what seems a rather odd occurrence on our Production Oracle Instance.
    Before i elaborate on the nature of the problem, I must confess that i am not an Oracle DBA and have been compelled to post this query since i have no joy from the in house DBA community on the origins of this error.
    We've had an ORA-01033 error being issued by our ETL installation (deployed on a Linux machine) a couple of days ago whence trying to extract some data from the Oracle instance (during overnight DataWarehouse loads) which has consequently aborted the loads necessitating a cleanup.
    This event has already occurred twice before, the first time being a month ago when the event was captured in the v$instance (using the Startup time column where the timestamp corroborates to the first time we experienced this issue and also ackowledged by the DBA team) and also in the V$Dataguard_status.
    Since then, This error has been generated twice although there seems to be no evidence of this in either the Oracle alert log(as confirmed by DBA team) or in any of the v$views (as pointed out by Tom in an earlier post) such as DBA_LOGSTDBY_HISTORY, v$logstdby_state, $logstdby_stats, dba_logstdby_log, dba_logstdby_events,v$dataguard_status, v$dataguard_stats, v$dataguard_config,v$database,v$database_incarnation, v$managed_standby, v$standby_log, v$instance. I searched these views since i suspected a latency issue during a failover which could be the reason for the
    ORA-01033 but found nothing.
    The DBA team have pretty much disowned this issue since they claim to not have any actual evidence of this from the logs and this is the crux of the matter here.
    The Problem i have as the downstream "recepient" of this error is to prove to the DBA team that this is indeed a genuine issue with the Oracle instance affecting it's availability and concomittantly affecting the DW loads.
    FYI, The Oracle instance is in Failover mode, so it's swiftly back online after bombing out for a few seconds.
    Also, I don't have access to the Alert log as it's a Production environment and employs restricted access policy to the server.
    Having said that, Is there anything else besides the obvious ORA errors that should be looked for in the Alert log?
    Where else can ORA-01033 errors be traced/traced in the Dictionary besides the Alert Log?
    Thoughts??
    Regards

    Thank You John for that query, but i'm on V10.2 and this view is relevant for 11g and beyond i believe.
    Perhaps there is an equivalent for V10g?
    I am also a bit bemused by the comment earlier about no trace being left behind if the DBA's performed a manual restart, surely it doesn't matter how the DB is restarted, the event is captured in the dictionary?
    In the meantime, I've got a copy of the Alert log and have found redo log issues (DBWR/LGWR) very close to the time (a min after ORA-01033) of the shutdown event.
    ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG
    Thread 1 cannot allocate new log, sequence 117732
    Checkpoint not complete
    I've looked into this a fair bit and this error apparently causes Oracle to suspend all processing on the database until the log switch is made.
    Is this the causal link for my issue?
    Does " suspend all processing on the database " actually translate into an actual ORA-01033 error (or some form of) when the ETL application is trying to connect to and extract data from the Oracle database at that time?

    If I understand the second part of the question correctly you can use DBMS_SERVICE to create an alias on both servers.
    Then depending upon the ROLE they are in you can just connect.
    First an entry need to be added to the client tnsnames.ora that uses a SERVICE_NAME instead of a SID.
    ernie =
    (DESCRIPTION =
        (ADDRESS_LIST =
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = standby.host)(PORT = 1521))
           (CONNECT_DATA =
           (SERVICE_NAME = ernie)
    )Next the service 'ernie' needs to be created manually on the primary database.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.CREATE_SERVICE('ernie','ernie');
    END;
    /After creating the service needs to be manually started.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    END;Several of the default parameters can now be set for 'ernie'.
    BEGIN
       DBMS_SERVICE.MODIFY_SERVICE
       ('ernie',
       FAILOVER_METHOD => 'BASIC',
       FAILOVER_TYPE => 'SELECT',
       FAILOVER_RETRIES => 200,
       FAILOVER_DELAY => 1);
    END;
    /Finally a database STARTUP trigger should be created to ensures that this service is only offered if the database is primary.
    CREATE TRIGGER CHECK_ERNIE_START AFTER STARTUP ON DATABASE
    DECLARE
    V_ROLE VARCHAR(30);
    BEGIN
    SELECT DATABASE_ROLE INTO V_ROLE FROM V$DATABASE;
    IF V_ROLE = 'PRIMARY' THEN
    DBMS_SERVICE.START_SERVICE('ernie');
    ELSE
    DBMS_SERVICE.STOP_SERVICE('ernie');
    END IF;
    END;
    /Check the status using lsnrctl status
    /home/oracle: >lsnrctl status
    Service "ernie" has 1 instance(s).
    erine is from the Oracle example, you can add whatever you want and then if you do a switchover or failover it is transparent to your users.

  • Error 12528, instance BLOCKED, and ORA-01033 error

    I'm a student, just getting started with Oracle, and my teacher is not very helpful with the install/running problems that I'm having with Oracle.
    I installed Oracle 11g Express a week ago, and upon installing it, the software worked just fine. I was able to create connections and write basic select statements to get data from a database provided by the manufacturer of my textbook.
    Now, when I try to connect to the database, I get an error that says "ORA_12528, TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are blocking new connections."
    I did a little research on how to fix this, and got into the listener to see its status. Here's what it says:

    After doing more googling, I found someone suggested that logging on to SQL*Plus as sysdba and then shutting down and restarting the database might do something to fix this, but when I try to log in it doesn't work... here's what I see in SQL*Plus:
    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    ERROR:
    ORA-28056: Writing audit records to Windows Event Log failed
    OSD-196787312: Message 196787312 not found; product=RDBMS; facility=SOSD
    O/S-Error: (OS 1502) The event log file is full.
    ORA-01075: you are currently logged on
    SQL> connect
    Enter User0name: sysdba
    Enter password:
    ERROR:
    ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
    Process ID: 0
    Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
    SQL>
    I have no idea what's going on here, and unfortunately, since I'm a student and have just started with Oracle, I can't seem to make heads or tails of most of what I'm finding on the forums here (and most of the threads that seem pertinent are 6 or more years old).
    If anyone out there can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

    Srini -
    I did take a look at the link you posted and I tried to do what it said, but I don't really know what to make of what I found. When I run services.msc I find the following are running:
    OracleJobSchedulerXE, OracleMTSRecoveryService, OracleServiceXE, OraclexEClrAgent, and OracleXETNSLisnener
    So it appears that the Oracle Service is running... probably not the problem.
    With regards to the logs, I don't know how to do what you suggested (make the log bigger, allow for overwrites, etc.).
    I tried to follow the suggestions from the link you posted and get into the event viewer, but when I enter "eventviewer" in the run window my machine can't find it. I tried other methods I found online to get into the event viewer, but it appears as though my computer doesn't offer me access to it (or simply doesn't have that capability). Are there other ways to clear old logs? Can I just open it as a text file and delete the contents? I don't want to make a mess out of things, and I really don't know what I'm doing so any guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Well, did you check f.i. your alert.log and other dumps?
    They will be on your server in the bdump, udump, cdump directories:
    Where to Find Files for Analyzing Errors
    Oracle records information about important events that occur in your Oracle RAC environment in trace files. The trace files for Oracle RAC are the same as those in single-instance Oracle databases. As a best practice, monitor and back up trace files regularly for all instances to preserve their content for future troubleshooting.
    Information about ORA-600 errors appear in the alert_SID.log file for each instance where SID is the instance identifier. For troubleshooting, you may need to also provide files from the following bdump locations:
    * $ORACLE_HOME/admin/db_name/bdump on UNIX-based systems
    * %ORACLE_HOME%\admin\db_name\bdump on Windows-based systems
    Some files may also be in the udump directory.
    In addition, the directory cdmp_timestamp contains in-memory traces of Oracle RAC instance failure information. This directory is located in ORACLE_HOME/admin/db_name/bdump/cdmp_timestamp, where timestamp is the time at which the error occurred.
    Trace dump files are stored under the cdmp directory. Oracle creates these files for each process that is connected to the instance. The naming convention for the trace dump files is same as for trace files, but with .trw as the file extension.

  • Errors ORA-01034, ORA-27101 and ORA-01033

    Hi!
    I have Oracle 9i DB and DevSuite 10g installed on my laptop. There are three databases on my machine.
    Recently, I tried to install Oracle Discoverer 10g and that's where the problem started. I could no longer connect to the databse using either SQL*Plus, TOAD or even from the front end application.
    I realised that some of the regisrty entries were no longer in place after the Discoverer installation. After doing these entries, I am still getting the following errors while connecting:
    ORA-01034 : Oracle not available
    ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm does not exist
    After doing the following entries in the registry, for the default database, I'm getting the 'ORA-01033 : Oracle Initialization or shutdown in progress' error while connecting for that particular db:
    ORACLE_SID=DTA
    ORA_DTA_AUTOSTART=TRUE
    ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWN=TRUE
    ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=30
    ORA_DTA_SHUTDOWNTYPE=i
    And for the other two DBs, the errors ORA-01034, ORA-27101 remain the same.
    Can anyone please help?
    Best regards,
    Aparna

    Have you checked your Windows services for the Oracle instances? Started and set to auto-start on boot.
    Also check your $path variable to make sure the Oracle home(s) appear in the path

  • Due to ORA-01033, I could not start my BW 3.5 instance

    Error in the SAP Manager console is
    "Database: > ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress"

    Hi Hardik,
               This error normally comes due to the inconsistent data file and can be recovered if you are having the current archive files in your oraarch folder.
                   Shutdown the database first then startup the database as follows:
    connect / as sysdba
    SQL>startup mount
    SQL> RECOVER DATAFILE 'E:\ORACLE\S01\SAPDATA1\SYSTEM_\SYSTEM.DATA1';
    Then open the database as below:
    SQL>ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
    I hope this will solve the problem provided the required archive files are available.
    Regards,
    Vinayak

  • ORA-01033 Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress error

    Hi All,
    I am using windows 7 on my 64-bit machine, and I installed oracle database 12c. Everything was installed fine, and i was able to connect to the HR schema. However, the next day when I wanted to connect, I got the ORA-01033 Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress error. What did I do wrong ? and what can I do to fix it ?? Thank you for the help.

    Sorry but there are NO SHORTCUTS!
    I already answered that above and referred you to the docs and an article.
    The doc chapters explain the NEW multitenant architecture in detail. The new 12c architecture is SUBSTANTIALLY different from previous architectures. Until you read the docs about it and understand how it has been implemented you will continue to have NOTHING but problems.
    I know that may sound like just another RTFM but for 12c it is imperative that you understand the new architecture if you want to avoid problems. There is no way to explain it all in the forums; Oracle takes a good two chapters just to cover the basics.
    I also pointed you to an article that shows how to startup the CDB and PDBs manually or write a STARTUP trigger to do it automatically.
    Hopefully you are doing all of this in a VM environment as you seemingly implied in one of your other threads?
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2594464
    There are already some VM templates available for 12c

    it 's been days since I research different forum a clear solution for this type of problem but I can not find anything satisfactory and definitive any help for me is precious ... thank you in advance
    OS/Disk failure external to Oracle.
    Oracle is victim; not the culprit.
    After the disk throwing error is replaced, you will need to restore the DB from most recent backup.

  • Error: ORA-01033: Oracle initialization or shudown in progress

    I can't connect to my Oracle database 10g XE from both browser and SQL*Plus.
    I get this Error message each time I try: ORA-01033: Oracle initialization or shudown in progress.
    I am so confused, since I worked with it successfully yesterday and tis morning, I restored my system to yesterday to no avail. I tried stopping the database from the start menu and I got the prompt that the stop was successful, I started the database from the start menu and got a prompt that the start up was successful, yet when I try to go to the database Home Page from the same start menu, Internet Explorer can't display the page and SQL*Plus returns the afore-mentioned error.
    What can I do to urgently connect to this database?

    this the result of executing the prescribed commands:

  • ORA-01033

    Our Oracle Server database 9i and 6i form was working fine last one year but yesterday due to power failure server was down directly from switch and after that when we start again server and run our application it gives us error .
    ORA-01033 Oracle Initialization or shutdown in progress
    Please help what should I do?

    Hi Kami,
    The possibility of such error is:
    ORA-01033 ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
    Cause: An attempt was made to log on while Oracle is being started or shut down.
    Action: Wait a few minutes. Then retry the operation.
    The instance crash had happened during the power failure & after the power is back the crash recovery might be going on....
    Is ur environment is a OLTP?????
    If So then crash recovery will take few mins.
    Then wait for some time & try again....
    Else do a normal shut down using "SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE"
    Then "STARTUP", Your problem will be rectified.
    Regards
    Sunil

  • ORA 12528 & ORA 01033

    Well, for some odd reason, I stopped listener services and started again. When I try to connect to database using Oracle SQL Developer, I am getting ORA-12528 Error. Also, I tried logging in using Command Prompt using the UN and password which throws me an error ORA-01033. I tried finding the control01.cll file, but unfortunately I couldn't find in my entire client machine. I don't know the problem behind this, Any help is greatly appreciated !!

  • ORA-01033 and flash back database

    I don't really know how the flashback database work. I enabled the backup recovery option during the 11g R2 installation. It will automatic scheduled the backup around 2:00AM daily. My question is does it automatically restart the database after the backup? Because I got an error ORA-01033 from the EM alert email every day around the same time.
    Thanks for any help!

    Can anyone help me? I'm still getting this alert every morning around 2AM:
    Target Name=MEDIAMGR
    Target Type=Database Instance
    Host=mediamgr2-db
    Metric=Status
    Metric Value=0
    Timestamp=Dec 28, 2011 2:01:25 AM PST
    Severity=Critical
    Message=Failed to connect to database instance: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress (DBD ERROR: OCISessionBegin).
    Notification Rule Name=Database Availability and Critical States
    Notification Rule Owner=SYSMAN
    Notification Count=1
    This may not related to the flashback backup job , but it did happen when the backup job was running. Also, another application server crashed at the same time when this happened. If I turn off the application server before 2AM, I don't get any error or alert. My question is how do I find out what cause the database to crash? Beside the alert log, is there another log that has the crashing information? How do I troubleshoot the problem? Can that be a memory issue?
    Here is the error message from the app server:

    How can i solve this.
    It was working fine before
    Thanks

    Your database is trying to start up or shut down. If trying to start up and you still cannot login after a few minutes, the database has problems starting up. Check trace and log files for any error messages.
