Oracle 8i Database Startup Problems

May I ask some Oracle database problems ?
1. After installing Oracle8i database on SUN Solaries,
when I run CREATE DATABASE command in nomount mode, it
said
"ORA-03113:end-of-file on communication channel" but
the database is created.
Then I run "catalog.sql" and "catproc.sql"
2. But when I "startup" the database, after the
databse is mounted, it said "ORA-01403: no data
found". I don't know whether the database is opened
normally or not.
3. When I login with account SYSTEM (sqlplus
system/manager), it said "ORA-01034: ORACLE not
available". It seems just OS Authentication works.
Those oracle background processes
(SMON,CKPT,LGWR,PMON,DBW0) already exist and redo log
file online.
Thanks a lot

Really to create a database manually is not so easy and automatically task. If you want to create a database manually you have to do this:
1.- Create initSID.ora file
2.- Set enviroment variables
3.- Create passwordfile
4.- Startup in nomunt the instance
5.- Create the database ( if this step fail , do not follow ahead )
6.- To run catalog & catproc scripts
7.- Create additional tablespaces
8.- shutdown the database
9.- Startup the database.
for more details, Chapter 2:

if you have Database Creation Assistance you can do it
easier.

Oracle 10g Database startup problem Please help

i am trying to start database but getting error;

ORA-16038: log 2 sequence# 44103 cannot be archived
ORA-19809: limit exceeded for recovery files
ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: 'D:\ORADATA\ASDB\REDO02.LOG'
Please guide and help
Thanks,
Waheed.

The error stack is interpreted as follows:
ORA-16038:     log string sequence# string cannot be archived
Cause:     An attempt was made to archive the named file, but the file could not be archived. Examine the secondary error messages to determine the cause of the error.
Action:     No action is required
ORA-19809:     limit exceeded for recovery files
Cause:     The limit for recovery files specified by the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE was exceeded.
Action:     The error is accompanied by 19804. See message 19804 for further details.
ORA-19804:     cannot reclaim string bytes disk space from string limit
Cause:     Oracle cannot reclaim disk space of specified bytes from the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE limit.
Action:     There are five possible solutions: 1) Take frequent backup of recovery area using RMAN. 2) Consider changing RMAN retention policy. 3) Consider changing RMAN archivelog deletion policy. 4) Add disk space and increase DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE. 5) Delete files from recovery area using RMAN.
ORA-00312:     online log string thread string: 'string'
Cause:     This message reports the filename for details of another message.
Action:     Other messages will accompany this message. See the associated messages for the appropriate action to take.
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE specifies (in bytes) the hard limit on the total space to be used by target database recovery files created in the flash recovery area. You should increase this value.
On the other hand, out from the context I guessed it is a 10gRx database, but you should specify this on your thread, as well as specify os details.

How to automate an oracle 8i database startup

I have an Oracle 8i database with the SID = MUKREC and installed on C:\
Whenever the computer is restarted, the database doesnot startup automatically
But has to be started manually. What could be the cause of this issue and how
can I resolve it. So that whenever I restart the PC I donot have to start the
database manually.
Thanks
Kaybroz

Dear Pravintakpire,
Thanks alot for the reply but,
When I open the Services console, there is a service called OracleServiceMukrec and its startup type is already Automatic and the status is showing 'Starting'
Me I suspect the issue may be arising on the init.ora file because when I try to use the GUI(DBA Studio) to start the database I realise that it is pointing to "C:\Oracle\Ora81\sysman\ifiles\def_MUKREC.ora" as the init.ora file yet it should be pointing to "C:\Oracle\admin\Mukrec\pfile\init.ora"
So how should go about it and what's your opnion concerning this.
Thanks

Personal Oracle 8i Database startup password

Can someone provide the database startup password for Personal Oracle 8i.I have tried passwords like "oracle","sys","manager"in both uppercase and lowercase.
None of this works.I have read the required documentation for the same.But I haven't recd any information.
Thanks.

Hi,
Normally this combination should work.
Anyway, try this out.
In the command prompt,
set ORACLE_SID=<sid name>
start server manager/svrmgrl
connect internal.
At this juncture , if you are getting errors, exit the svrmgr application.
try to reset the password for internal with a new password file. (Backup the old one).
Tr connecting.

Oracle Application Server startup problem

We have inplemented OF 11.0.3 at our org. We upgrade our server fromsingle to dual processor now when we restat the services web server is not getting started, we tried it through cmd prompt with the help of owsctl but still it is not working.Can we reinstall web server?

hi,
it is much better to start your OAS this way:
1. startup your repository database
2. start the listener of your repository database
3. at the home of your oas installation run this command:
$ <oas_home>/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
4. after the the opmn and services have started run this command:
#$ <oas_home>/bin/emctl start iasconsole
and there you go!!!
All these can be automated (and shutdown) by using the DBORA script provided by oracle.
use metalink to get a copy of dbora.

Mike

Database startup problem

Hi All,
I got two databases, one on 10.2 and one on 9.2...
Now while startup, 10g database opens simply by puttin username/password. Now instead of this while startup of 9i database it need service with Userame/Password like username/password@service....
Please help me in knowing the reason for this so that I should make changes.
Thanks
Gursimran

Hi,
As per your Issue, you might have two oracle homes on same server. When you have higher versions of oracle on same server - then by default the preference of connection @ system level will be taken to Oracle 10g (service dynamically registers to 10g) and as the earlier to this you have 9.2 with tnsnames.ora configured - it has to be given in order to connect. you might have idea of bequeath connection

Oracle 11g Database Schema problem

Hi I have installed the Enterprise Edition of Oracle 11g on windows XP SP2. I log in to Enterprise Manager. When I click on the schema tab I get the following error message.
Error
Internal Error has occured. Check the log file for details.
Does anybody know why ? and which log file they are refering to?
Also can someone tell me where or how you can create normal users ?
thanks

the related OC4J machine is failing, it could be due to a number of reasons. Sometimes it has to do with the TZ region Agent recognizes, but the only way to know it for sure is by taking a look at the operational log files. Those can be found at the EM Console directory under the ORACLE_HOME. You will see the ORACLE_HOME/EMConsoleDirectory/log at the log there are several files, take a look at them and feedback.

I go to the DOS console and type:
c:> sqlplus scott/tiger@ORCL
and I get:
ERROR: ORA-28000: the account is locked
I did this right after I restarted my computer.
When I use the Enterprise Manager at:
http://localhost:5500/em/
I get for ORCL:
Status: Status Pending
Status Pending Since: Unavailable
Seems that I can never get the database started properly?! When I press the Startup/Shutdown button I get:
Current Status: open
This is the correct current database status, although it doesnot match the current status in the sitemap page
What does this mean? Do you think this may contain the clue to the answer to this problem?
When I restart the Database I get the same status: unavailable.
I need your help to resolve this problem. The alternative is to revert back to Oracle 9i DB Server. Thank you in advance.

I can help you with the SCOTT account being locked. Try:
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
alter user scott identified by tiger account unlock;

Oracle 8i database data recover problem

Hi hi,
I've recently encountered a problem on how to restoring data from old oracle folders to a new oracle 8i database.
Originally, my oracle 8i was installed in windows 2000 server on a harddisk (J:\oracle old) separated from that the OS (windows 2000 server) resided. Recently, the harddisk with the OS has been permanantly demaged and I've installed windows 2000 server on a new harddisk (C:\winnt), reinstalled the oracle database (J:\oracle).
However, is there any way to recover the data from an instance of the original database to the newly created database.
I will be grateful for any suggestion? Thanks a lot.

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.

Security problem in oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant

Inside the tool Oracle 9i Database Configuration Assistant there is an option by which you can make a "copy" of your Database. This "copy" is called a template and you don4t need any password or aunthentication to do it, you just need the tool to be installed in your server. Once you have a template, you can bring it anywhere and recreate the original database (including data). Again, you don't need any password or aunthentication to do it, further more, in the last step of this process you can change the password of any user (inluding SYS, SYSTEM or another DBA user). The thing about this is that anyone with access to the computer where the database is can make a template of it, take this template to another computer and recreate my database having FULL access to it (structure, data, code ...). And everything without needing any password!!!. I really thing that it is a big problem. Is there any way of preventing this operation?. How can I safely protect my database?. I thought about unistalling the product, but someone can re-install it and everything would be the same. Can someone give me an answer?
Thanks for everything.
Pablo Cuenca

You must protect your database from casual browsing at the OS level. This is not a security hole, per se, since this is a known issue with any and all software. Database Configuration Assistant is not needed for this since one may copy the database without it.
