Oracle 11gR2 alter database open hangs for a long time

Hi,
We are cloning oracle apps database with RAC to non-RAC. We did the ORACLE_HOME clone and then duplicated the database with rman.
It completed successfully.
While trying to bounce the database, the db startup option hangs at "alter database open" for a long time
There are no errors in the alert log file. It just waits at "alter database open"
Please help and thanks in advance.
Regards
Sasikala

Browsers crash or hang for a long time too often

I would have posted this in the Safari forum, but even with Firefox and Camino, I have the same problem. I do a bit of multitasking. I am always Photoshopping at my job and I always have anywhere from 3-8 tabs open. I know that's a lot, but is it not unusual for, every few hours or so, my browser to lock up, crash, or hang for a really long time? I get the spinning wheel and no response from my browsers. It seems to happen randomly, not when I am doing anything specific. I usually have to Force Quit and re-open. Sometimes restoring my previous session works, sometimes it doesn't. Any advice?

Myself and several friends were experiencing the same thing after the latest security update. In Disk Utility try selecting your hard drive and clicking 'Repair permissions'. I no longer have these problems.

.psb file will not save - "Saving 0%" hangs for a LONG time.

Using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. Dual 6-core xeon system running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. 32GB RAM, SSD boot drive and SSD scratch drive, with my project files on an internal 3TB 7200RPM drive.
I have a fairly large .psb (16 bit, 12,000px wide, embedded linked smart objects, and some smaller smart objects that are 32 bit). It also contains some vector layers and many layer effects. It is fairly well optimized. The 32-bit layers are external linked files and vectors have been used to help mitigate file size.
Last night, immediately after a restart, I set it to save and it took a while, so I went in the house and ended up falling asleep on the couch. This morning, it was still at 0%. I was able to cancel the save without issue and further optimize the file (got it down to 4.5 GB), but it still won't save or save as.
I am able to cancel the save without issue. This happens no matter what drive I save to. All my drives are less than half full, this is a brand new machine that performs REALLY well in all other cases (Premiere/Maya).
What are my options here? I have about an hour and a half of work that I will lose of I don't get to save this thing. That's bad - I have a tight deadline.
EDIT: I just created a new canvas and manually dragged each layer/folder one at a time to the new document from the old. That one won't save either - it just sits at 0%. This tells me the issue is with the layers somewhere (or with Photoshop's inability to save them).
Help!!

Great news! Nice that command removed the bottleneck. What percent of your ram is allocated to Photoshop?
When you say CC, I assume CC 2014, the latest update is
Adobe Photoshop Version: 2014.2.2 20141204.r.310 2014/12/04:23:59:59 CL 994532 x64
10.10.2 is not without its' heartbreaks. We have fielded a lot of complaints over it and interaction with Adobe software. (mostly CS5).

Oracle hands for 12 min during "alter database open"

Dear all,
After a disk failure/replacement in a SAN disk array that we are using for storage, we had to restore our Oracle database. After the restore the database does not start properly: It takes around 12 min to move from the state "Mount" to the state "Open". It finally opens but even after this, when I start SAP, only 5 workprocesses connect and logging into SAP is not possible, the gui just hangs
There are no errors in the alert_RSP.log. I attach an extract here to show the time difference between the mount state and the open state

Alter database open in srvctl ?

Hello All,
I am using Oracle RAC 11gR2 on AIX 7.1
I am starting and stopping my database using:
srvctl start/stop database -d dbnameI mounted my database using:
srvctl start database -d dbname -o mountmy question at this state if I want to open my database can I do it using srvctl ? currently I am going to each node and issue "alter database open" for each instance. Is there a better way to deal with the whole database on all nodes when I want to open my database?
Regards,

if you omit -o mount... it will automatically start you database.
srvctl start database -d dbname
above is good for open database.

'alter database open resetlogs' didn't reset one of the datafiles

I've spent the last three and a half weeks recovering an oracle database (11g 64-bit linux) because of a corrupt block in an online redo log (which I thought was being written to multiple locations). I restored the files, moving some of them around in the process; recovered to the latest possible point; moved files back to their proper location; ran 'alter database open resetlogs'; and one of the datafiles (from a bigfile tablespace) didn't get reset. I checked afterward, and it was marked offline. I do not remember placing the file offline, and cannot find such a statement in my last 300 sqlplus commands, which includes commands well before I renamed this file and the commands surrounding the rename.
Restoring/recovering the database again will take too long, and is a remarkably poor option. Even if the database had opened correctly, the affected tablespace would not have been touched in the two or three minutes the database was open. Is there any way to force oracle to reset the logs again or otherwise fix this one file to mark it with the same date? Only allowing the resetlogs option after an incomplete recovery seems a poor restriction, especially, if files can slip through like this. I'm suspecting there is someway to just fix the checkpoint values for the tablespace, but I don't know where to begin. This particular file is <5% of the database, so if I have to do some sort of backup/restore with just it, that is probably doable.

4: Nothing in the tablespace has been touched since I ran 'alter database open resetlogs;'. It also appears that oracle placed the file offline (without me telling it to do so) and left it that way through the resetlogs, leaving the tablespace unusable during the time it was opened. The only things that would be out of date are the 'RESETLOGS_CHANGE#', the 'CHECKPOINT_CHANGE#', and associated values. It's still at the last scn before the resetlogs, and the system has been in archivelog mode the entire time. This is all information that Oracle could be tracking, and from a program logic standpoint there is no reason why Oracle cannot tie together the changes before the resetlogs, the resetlogs command and the changes after the resetlogs into a new, continuous string of changes. I assume there is some such feature in a high-caliber program because I'm actually a programmer (who would have included such advanced tracking features), and I've become a DBA out of necessity. I admit to not knowing all of the oracle DBA commands, hence me posting here before doing the work of submitting a request to metalink.
5: I consider it a poor restriction because it doesn't always reset the logs on all files, and as far as my knowledge goes it has rendered my 3.5 week recovery process WORTHLESS. I suppose it could cause numerous errors, especially if the database wasn't cleanly shut down, but having the ability to do something equivalent to datafiles that oracle skipped the process on seems quite useful in my situation. I guess the more fundamental problem to complain about is that it would apply such changes to only some of the files, while leaving others unusable, instead of just giving me an error that some files weren't going to be reset, but I think I'm done venting my Oracle frustrations for now.
Am I stuck with a tablespace that I cannot bring online with the database open, or is there some sort of 'alter database datafile' command (or anything else) that I know nothing of that will fix the straggling file?

Alter Database Open Mystery

We have a script that issued the Startup command this morning. In the .trc logs we are able to see that the Startup command got as far as the Alter Database Mount command. So we know this command completed successfully. But the next command we expect to see is the Alter Database Open command. This was mysteriously absent from the .trc file.
We lack a full time DBA on our project so we are wondering if there is a logical explanation for this failure? Are there any places we can look to see why the Alter Database Open command was never issued and didn't appear in the .trc log?
Any suggestions or probably causes would be greatly appreciated.

DB version 9.2.0.6.0 on Solaris 8
Just noticed that our /UNDO file system is a 99% and that our UNDO tablespace is using 'auto extend' option. Could this be a potential cause?
/dev/vx/dsk/rootdg/undo
11796416 10490922 125853 99% /undo
The alert log just stopped and didn't show anything regarding the Alter Database Open command. Then it jumps to this morning when one of our guys started the database manually. You can see this where May 3rd entries stop:

Any help ?

Hi,
Duplicate is not supported using different version of database, so I recommend you don't use duplicate.
Because RMAN "duplicate" attempts to automatically rename (rename required recover) and open the database you may not use RMAN duplicate for this case, only RMAN restore.
Perform this work using normal restore database.
See this example.

Alter database open resetlogs

Hi,
when I try to duplicate my database by RMAN I have :
RMAN-06053: unable to perform media recovery because of missing log
RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
I connect to duplicate database in sqlplus , it is not open.
Than I do :
alter database open resetlogs;
And the database would be open.
Is it bad ? Will we lose the data ? If yes what solution do you propose ?
Effectively I do not know how to use this informations :
log thread 1 seq 1452 scn 252730 found to restore
Please help me to use this informations if helplfull.
Many thanks.

From Oracle Error documentation:
RMAN-06025: no backup of log thread number seq number lowscn string found to restore
Cause: An archive log restore restore could not proceed because no backup of the indicated archived log was found. It may be the case that a backup of this file exists but does not satisfy the criteria specified in the user"s restore operands.
Action: None - this is an informational message. See message 6026 for further details.
RMAN-06026: some targets not found - aborting restore
Cause: Some of the files specified for restore could not be found. Message 6023, 6024, or 6025 is also issued to indicate which files could not be found. Some common reasons why a file can not be restored are that there is no backup or copy of the file that is known to recovery manager, or there are no backups or copies that fall within the criteria specified on the RESTORE command, or some datafile copies have been made but not cataloged.
Action: The Recovery Manager LIST command can be used to display the backups and copies that Recovery Manager knows about. Select the files to be restored from that list.
It seems you do not have some of the files required for recover operation. Could you post how this database is backed up using RMAN?

What if "ALTER DATABASE OPEN" WORKS WHEN DB IS INCONSISTENT???

Hello Everyone,
I heard from couple of friends that in the case of recovery , oracle database opens despite the fact that some of the data files are inconsistent.
Is this really true? If it is, then i think its a bug with specific Oracle patch or release.
Is there anyone who has experienced a similar situation in the past? Please share.
Thanks.
sapguy

Appreciate your response. I ran into a situation where we are not sure of what time choose to choose recovery (point in time) and ended up recovering file by file and its been 100 files .. .none of those files helped with "Media recovery complete" message . This is database refresh from production backup.
Then when i am trying to issue ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS one of main guy says do not issue OPEN command as it may corrupt the database.
I came across one of friend who ran into similar situation and he was able open the database , but LATER database started issuing ora 600 due to corrupted files or whatever which never happened. Forgive me .. if my text is confusing.
Thanks.

Alter database open

Hi,
I try to start a database with the commands
startup mount

ORA-16196 on Alter Database open.

Hi
Why when we close a database with ALTER DATABASE CLOSE
it's impossible to open immediately after with ALTER DATABASE OPEN?
How to do this without dismount the database ?
Regards
Den

Seems illogical but thats the way it has been defined by Oracle.
The instance can mount/dismount a database any number of times but it can open or close the database only once.
The only reason I can think of is this is the way it is required in RAC. Any instance can open a database but it can do it only once. May be in order to preserve the integrity of the database structures.

Cannot alter database open

I go the error message when I open databse.
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;
alter database open resetlogs
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01190: controlfile or data file 1 is from before the last RESETLOGS
ORA-01110: data file 1: '/u01/oracle/uatdata/system01.dbf'
Then I issue the following command:
SQL> recover datafile 1;
ORA-00283: recovery session canceled due to errors
ORA-01610: recovery using the BACKUP CONTROLFILE option must be done
what went wrong?
FAN

Here are the following information:
RMAN> list backup of controlfile
2> ;
using target database controlfile instead of recovery catalog
