ORA-01078 & LRM-00109 error help

I have installed Oracle 11g x86_64 on to my laptop (OS - Fedora 13). On installing when I tried using the command "startup", it showed me the below error.
$ sqlplus / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
LRM-00109: could not open parameter file '/home/kritu/app/kritu/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/dbs/initorcl.ora'
***NOTE*** But the location doesn't have "initorcl.ora", but instead has got only "init.ora".
Need support from anyone who can help me out in finding the solution to the problem. Thanks in advance.

Hi;

  • Multiple Homes ORA-01078 LRM-00109

    Hi,
    i have three ORACLE_HOMEs with two databases at the same server in two homes which are named "stg" and "infra". Yes, it comes from an Oracle Collaboration Suite installation :-)
    After a restart of the server i'm facing the ORA-01078 LRM-00109 errors if i'm trying to start the infra-tier database.
    Because the stg-home is the main home, i have added the infra TNS and Listener informations to the stg-home Listener and TNSNames files.
    I'm using ONE Listener of the stg-tier.
    It's trying to use the stg-config files with the infra tier and it fails with the errors above:
    SQL> startup;
    ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:\OCS_ONEBOX\STG\DATABASE\INITIASDB.O
    RA'
    SQL> startup;
    ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
    LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'C:\OCS_ONEBOX\STG\DATABASE\INITIASDB.ORA'
    Should i try to create a initiasdb.ora in the stg-tier which points to the correct spfile of the infra tier or daoes it overwrite other files after the startup? Or how could i switch the homes for startup?
    My tnsnames and Listener entries seems to be okay. The stg-tier database startsup without problems.
    Thank you,
    Maurice

    Oh, i'm using WinXP SP2 and Oracle 9i.

    ORA-01078 indicates your database itself is not up. How is it that you can connect through TOAD to this database?
    but not getting ointo sql promt on serverwhat do you mean by this? Do you mind doing a copy-paste of your screen and posting here so that we have a better idea of what you are looking at?

    I am getting the following error when I try to create PFILE:

    We, you & I, don't know what actual ORACLE_SID is.
    Is it DB12C, or 12cdb?
    When was last time this DB successfully started?
    What changed since then?

    You're attempting to go across SQL*Net. I'm a unix guy so I can't help very much except to point this out.
    On Unix I'd either undefine the TWO_TASK environmental variable. Probably a reg entry on 2k.
    Or configure Sql*Net.

  • ORA 12170 : Connection timeout error : Help needed

    Hi,
    The scenario is as follows: I have Oracle 11g R2 installed on a Windows Server 2008 (32-bit) server. The database SID is 'PGMS'. I am accessing (or want to access remotely) the Oracle database from the Visual Studio 2008 development environment (client environment) running on a Windows XP (SP3) platform. I have already installed the ODAC (Ver. 11.2.0.2.1) package for the Visual Studio environment.
    I have created a sample Windows Forms application that uses the Oracle data access components. The sample schema HR in the Oracle database has already been unlocked. This is the schema that I am using in the application.
    The issue that I am facing is that when I am adding the data connection in the Visual Studio environment; 'Test Connection' functionality returns the following error: ORA-12170 ... Connection timed out.
    I have checked the TNSNAMES.ORA file, and everything is as is mentioned in the Oracle documentation. It is as follows:
    PGMS=
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.0.161)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVICE_NAME = PGMS)
    Kindly request the community to help me out in overcoming the error and in making the connection successfully. We have a System administrator but not a database administrator. The Oracle installation has been done by me.
    Thanks,
    Renj

    Sunny, it's as follows:
    (1) SQLNET.ORA file contents are as follows:
    # This file is actually generated by netca. But if customers choose to
    # install "Software Only", this file wont exist and without the native
    # authentication, they will not be able to connect to the database on NT.
    SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
    (2) LISTENER.ORA file content are as follows:

    NOW QUESTIONS!!!!!
    1. Why I can't change the status of database to OPEN as grid user?
    2. The status is always STARTED when querying v$instance. İs it status of +ASM or database?
    3. When checking database as grid user it seems to be Database runnning...  If running why it is not in OPEN state? What is running means here?
    4. When I log on as oracle user and query v$instance, then error shown above occured. And also when startup  the database then another error occured as in above. WHY?
    5. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved but the first one is changed after restart the system?
    6. Normally, which user have to start, stop or manage database? I think that oracle user is necessary for managing database and the grid user is only for managing ASM and Oracle Restart.
    PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS CHAOTİC SİTUATİON!!!
    Thanks,

    I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox)
    Pl identify exact version of 11gR2 to 4 decimal places. As noted in your other thread - Failed to start oracle-ohasd, error: Inappropriate ioctl for device ohasd failed to start at roothas.pl - you will need a minimum version of 11.2.0.3 for Linux 6.x - using a lower version may result in unexpected issues or problems.

    When I run database using pfile and everything is OK. But after creating spfile from pfile I've got such errors:

  • Please help: Case Statement - ORA-01722: invalid number Error

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to use Case statement to recode Cancelled statuses into two groups
    'Reject' if the difference between first date and last date is less than 29 and
    'Accept' if the difference between first date and last date is greater than 30
    Here is my 'test' data:
    STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE
    Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011
    Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011
    Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011
    Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011
    Here is the syntax
    select a.*,
    (CASE WHEN a.STATUS ='Cancel' THEN (round(a.LAST_DATE-a.FIRST_DATE))
    ELSE 0
    END) CAN_DAYS,
    (CASE WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' >29 THEN 'Reject'
    WHEN 'CAN_DAYS' <30 THEN 'Accept'
    END) Reject_Accept
    from test a
    The first CASE statement works fine and gives me this
    STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS
    Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
    Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
    Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37
    Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26
    but the second CASE produces ORA-01722: invalid number Error. It is something to do with the CAN_DAYS data type, Oracle doesn't see it as Numeric i think.
    The result i want to see would be
    STATUS     FIRST_DATE     LAST_DATE     CAN_DAYS Reject_Accept
    Transfer     10/08/2011     10/09/2011     0
    Mover     10/08/2011     15/09/2011     0
    Cancel     10/08/2011     16/09/2011     37 Accept
    Cancel     10/08/2011     5/09/2011     26 Reject
    Could someone please help me to fix the syntax?
    Thank you in advance,

    This seems to give you your desired results...
    with test as
      ( select 'Transfer' as status, to_date('10/08/2011') as first_date, to_date('10/09/2011') as last_date  from dual union all
