Oracle Automatic Startup & Shutdown

My automatic Database startup/Shutdown script won't work while system reboot. I have Oracle 8.1.7/Sun solaris. When I ran the script by hand it works fine both for startup and shutdown but not while system reboot. I am putting the script in the proper run levels rc0.d and rc3.d.
even /etc/rc0.d/K01oracle and /etc/rc3.d/S90oracle is working fine.
Could someone please tell me what am i missing.
Appreciate your help
-Jay

Hi,
Have you settled your issue? I would think the problem was caused by the environment under which the script was run. Normally the rc scripts are run as root and the PATH will not be set to run Oracle executables. So inside the script if you run the startup script as the user who has execute permission to the Oracle executables and whose path is SET in .profile then it should work.

    오라클 database의 AUTOMATIC STARTUP/SHUTDOWN
    ============================================
    시스템이 startup 하면서 오라클도 함께 startup하거나 시스템을 shutdown
    할 때 오라클도 같이 shutdown 하는 것이 가능하다. 그 방법은 OS마다 차이가
    있는데 여기서는 UNIX 에 기반한 여러 플랫폼에 대해서 알아보기로 한다.
    본 내용에서 가장 많이 사용되는 화일은 다음과 같다.
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut
    /etc/oratab 또는 /var/opt/oracle/oratab
    dbstart 와 dbshut 은 오라클을 startup/shutdown 시키는 스크립트인데
    이것은 automatic startup/shutdown 시에만 사용하도록 하고 평상 시의
    경우에는 사용하지 않도록 한다.
    oratab 화일은 일반 텍스트 화일로서 시스템에 설치된 오라클 인스턴스에
    대한 정보를 가지고 있는데 보통 3개의 필드로 이루어져 있으며 첫번재
    필드는 ORACLE_SID, 두번째 필드는 ORACLE_HOME, 세번째 필드는 Y 또는 N
    으로 구성되어 있다. 해당 인스턴스를 autostartup 시키려면 꼭 Y로
    세팅되어 있어야 한다.
    SYSTEM V
    System V 에 기반한 시스템은 /etc/rc<n>.d 디렉토리에 초기화 스크립트를
    가지고 있다. 여기서 <n> 은 해당 스크립트의 run-level 을 의미한다.
    일반적으로 run-level 0은 power shutdown mode 이고 run-level 2는 multi-user
    mode 이다. 각각의 디렉토리에 들어있는 초기화 스크립트는 다음과 같은 형태의
    이름을 갖고 있다.
    K{two-digit number][descriptive filename]
    예를 들면 S75cron, K30tcp 등이 있을 수 있다.
    S로 시작되는 스크립트는 startup 시에 실행되는 것이고 K 로 시작하는 것은
    shutdown 시에 실행된다.
    two-digit number가 의미하는 것은 스크립트가 실행되는 순서인데 숫자가 작은
    것부터 먼저 실행된다. 따라서 오라클 스크립트는 보통 다음과 같은 이름을 갖게 된다.
    S99oracle, K01oracle
    이와 같이 설정하면 시스템이 startup 될 때 모든 초기화가 끝난 후 마지막으로
    오라클이 startup 되며 시스템을 shutdown 할 때에는 오라클을 가장 먼저 shutdown
    하게 된다.
    BSD UNIX
    BSD 에 기반한 시스템은 시스템이 startup 될 때 초기화 화일로
    /etc/rc*(예를 들면, /etc/rc, /etc/rc.local) 를 사용한다.
    시스템을 shutdown 할 때에는 보통은 /etc/shutdown 만 실행하게 되므로
    특별히 실행되는 스크립트가 없지만 /etc/rc.shutdown 이 실행되는
    플랫폼도 있다.
    이제 각 플랫폼별로 자세히 알아보기로 한다.
    주의 : <oracle_owner> 는 oracle owner id 로 대체
    <$ORACLE_HOME> 은 oracle home directory 명으로 대체
    (1)SunOS 4.1.3
    SunOS 4.1.3 에서는 /etc/rc.local 을 startup 스크립트로 사용한다. 즉
    시스템이 startup 되면서 /etc/rc.local 이 실행된다. 따라서 이 화일의 끝에
    다음과 같은 라인을 추가하면 된다.
    su <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart
    예를 들어 oracle owner 가 oracle7 이고 $ORACLE_HOME 이 /home/oracle
    이라면 다음과 같이 해주면 된다.
    su oracle7 -c /home/oracle/bin/dbstart
    여기서 /home/oracle 대신에 $ORACLE_HOME 과 같은 환경변수를 이용하여
    세팅하면 안된다.
    SunOS 에서는 시스템이 shutdown 될 때 실행되는 스크립트는 따로 없다.
    따라서 dbshut 을 실행시키는 방법은 다음과 같은 스크립트를 만들어서
    시스템을 shutdown 시킬 때 /etc/shutdown 을 실행시키지 말고 대신
    이것을 실행시켜야 한다.
    #!/bin/csh
    su <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbshut
    /etc/shutdown $*
    만약 오라클을 shutdown 하지 않고 시스템을 shutdown 하면 다음에
    오라클을 startup 하려고 할 때 startup이 되지 않는다. 이 경우에는
    $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/sgadef<SID>.dbf 화일을 지우고 startup 시키면 된다.
    (2)OSF/1(DIGITAL UNIX)
    /etc/inittab : 초기화 과정을 콘트롤
    /sbin/rc3 : run-level 3 에서 사용되는 script
    /sbin/rc0 : run-level 0 에서 사용되는 script
    /sbin/rc3.d/S99oracle : /sbin/init.d/oracle 로 link
    /sbin/rc0.d/K01oracle : /sbin/init.d/oracle 로 link
    /etc/initab 화일에는 초기화 과정에 대한 정보가 들어 있다.
    예를 들면 다음과 같다.
    s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3 < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
    이렇게 설정하면 run-level 3 일 경우 /sbin/rc3 스크립트가 실행된다.
    /sbin/rc3 은 /sbin/rc3.d 디렉토리에 들어있는 스크립트를 실행한다. 만약
    스크립트 이름이 K 로 시작하면 이것은 stop 파라미터를 갖고 실행되어서 이
    스크립트에 지정된 프로세스를 정지시킨다. 한편, 스크립트가 S 로 시작하면
    /sbin/rc3 는 이 스크립트에 startup 파라미터를 부여하고 여기서 지정된
    프로세스를 실행시킨다. 따라서 /sbin/rc3.d/S99oracle 을 사용하여
    dbstart를 실행한다.
    shutdown 과정도 거의 비슷하다. /etc/inittab 에 다음과 같은 라인을 추가
    한다.
    s0:0:wait:/sbin/rc0 off < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1
    이것은 /sbin/rc0 를 실행시키는데 /sbin/rc0 는 /sbin/rc0.d 디렉토리에
    들어있는 스크립트를 실행시킨다. 스크립트의 이름이 S 로 시작하면 run
    time parameter 로 start 를 사용하게 되고 K 로 시작하면 stop 을
    사용한다.
    따라서 /sbin/rc0.d/K01oracle 스크립트는 stop 파라미터를 갖고
    실행되며 이 스크립트는 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut 스크립트를 실행시켜서
    오라클을 shutdown 시킨다.
    /sbin/rc3.d/S99oracle과 /sbin/rc0.d/K01oracle은 모두 /sbin/init.d/oracle
    에 대한 symbolic link 이다. /sbin/init.d/oracle 에 대한 symbolic link 는
    이들 외에 더 있을 수 있다.
    (3)Solaris 2.3 & SCO UNIX
    /etc/inittab : 초기화 과정을 콘트롤
    /etc/rc2 : run-level 2 에서 사용되는 스크립트
    /etc/rc0 : run-level 0 에서 사용되는 스크립트
    /etc/rc2.d/S99dbstart : /etc/init.d/dbstart 에 대한 link
    /etc/rc0.d/K01dbshut : /etc/init.d/dbshut 에 대한 link
    /var/opt/oracle/oratab
    Solaris 의 경우는 OSF/1 과 매우 유사하다. 차이점이라고 한다면 /sbin
    디렉토리 대신에 /etc 디렉토리에 필요한 스크립트가 들어있다는 것이다.
    rc0.d, rc2.d 같은 디렉토리는 실제로 /etc 디렉토리에 위치하고 있으며
    rc0, rc2 와 같은 스크립트는 /etc/init.d 에 존재하는 같은 이름의 스크립트에
    대한 symbolic link이다.
    /etc/init.d/dbstart 와 /etc/init.d/dbshut 스크립트의 내용은 각각 다음과
    같이 한줄로 구성되어 있다.
    su - <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart
    su - <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbshut
    Solaris 에서는 start, stop 같은 파라미터는 /etc/init.d/dbstart,
    /etc/init.d/dbshut 에서는 무시된다.
    /etc/init.d/dbstart, /etc/init.d/dbshut 화일은 owner가 oracle owner id
    이여야 한다.
    /etc/init.d/README 를 읽어보면 좀 더 자세한 내용이 설명되어 있으니 참조하기
    바란다.

    /etc/rc : 시스템 초기화 스크립트
    /etc/mkitab : /etc/inittab 을 수정하는 유틸리티
    /etc/shutdown : 시스템 shutdown 스크립트
    AIX 에서는 오라클 autostartup 방법은 여러가지가 가능하지만 shutdown 은
    한가지만 가능하다. 우선 autostartup 은 다음과 같은 방법 가운데 하나를
    사용하면 된다.
    a)/etc/mkitab 를 사용하여 /etc/inittab 에 entry 를 추가한다. 즉,
    /etc/mkitab "<oracle_owner>:2:wait:/bin/su <oracle_owner> -c
    <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart > /dev/console 2>&1"
    이렇게 하면 /etc/inittab 화일에 dbstart 기능이 추가된다. 이렇게 하면
    시스템이 뜨면서 run-level 2일 경우 오라클이 자동으로 startup 된다.
    b)다음과 같은 방법도 가능하다.
    /etc/mkitab "rcoracle:2:wait:/etc/rc.oracle > /dev/console 2>&1"
    그리고, root 소유의 /etc/rc.oracle 스크립트를 다음과 같이 작성한다.
    su <oracle_owner> <<EOF
    <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart
    EOF
    c)/etc/rc 스크립트의 마지막에 다음을 추가한다.
    /bin/su <oracle_owner> - c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart
    AIX 에서 시스템 shutdown 은 /etc/shutdown 에 의한다. 시스템을 내릴 때
    오라클을 shutdown 하려면 별도의 시스템 shutdown 스크립트(root 소유로)를
    다음과 같이 만들어서 /etc/shutdown 을 사용하지 말고 이것을 사용해야 한다.
    #!/bin/sh
    /bin/su <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbshut
    /etc/shutdown $*

    /etc/rc 스크립트의 마지막에 추가하면 auto startup 이 가능해진다.
    su <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbstart
    시스템의 shutdown 은 /etc/shutdown 화일을 실행하여 수행된다. 이 프로그램은
    /etc/shutdown.d 디렉토리에 들어있는 스크립트를 실행시키는데 다음과 같은
    세 가지 방법 가운데 하나로 auto shutdown 을 세팅할 수 있다.
    a)$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut 화일을 /etc/shutdown.d 디렉토리 아래에 copy
    b)/etc/shutdown.d/dbshut 을 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut 으로 symbolic link 지정

    만약 V6 와 V7 을 동시에 사용하는 경우라면 V7 에서 제공하는 dbshut을
    사용하도록 한다.

    Dear Alexdelarg,
    First launch the "Services" applet from the Windows NT Control Panel. Double-click on the "OracleService<SID>" service and verify that "Startup Type" is set to "Automatic", "Log On As" is set to "System Account", and that the "Allow Service to Interact with Desktop" check box is disabled.
    Then launch REGEDIT and check that the Value String ORA_<SID>AUTOSTART within the key My Computer\HKEYLOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE is set to "TRUE".
    If the above does not rectify your startup problem, try issuing the following command from the Command Prompt:
    <ORACLE_HOME>\bin\oradim -edit -sid <SID> -startmode auto
    where <ORACLE_HOME> is the full path of your Oracle8i Server software and <SID> is the Service Identifier of your database.
    Hope this helps!

  • Oracle 8i Automatic Startup/shutdown on NT

    After installing Oracle 8.1.6 on Win NT/2000 and creating a database a new service is created too (OracleServiceSID). My problem is that this new service (which works like oradim starting srvc,inst) does not startup the db when rebooting the machine. I need always manual startup/shutdown with a script that uses svrmgrl while in Oracle guides it seems that would be enough to start the service. Every parameter in the registry is set according to these guides to permit automatic startup/shutdown but only the service, not the db, starts and stops automatically. Where is my error?
    Thanks

  • Automatic startup/shutdown script - 3 Oracle Home

    Hi All,
    We have a server which has 3 Oracle Home - 8i/9i/10g.

    Oh no, it is not very urgent.
    In a forum of volunteers there is no such thing as 'very urgent', and using 'very urgent' is considered insulting and rude.
    It is even more insulting as you expect to do me what you refuse to do: consult the documentation.
    As you failed to mention a version I can't even look up the documentation, nor will I do that: I'm not going to stand in voluntarily to do for either people for free what they get paid for: their work

    You have to come up with your own script to shutdown.

  • Automatic Startup/shutdown

    Hi All
    Please I am trying to enable this feature, startup automatically with the system startup
    I am using Oracle enterprise linux, the user with it we startup weblogic is root
    it's impossible to add something in .profile_bash of oracle user (oracle user exists)
    either in /etc/rc.local , nothing occured when I add the startup command on the bottom of the file
    Any idea please?
    Thanks

    Hi,
      Follow the below procedure,
    1. Create a startup script like startWebLogicAdmin which would contain the below
           su - wlsadmin -c "<DOMAIN_HOME>/bin/startWebLogic.sh"
          Remember to replace the <DOMAIN_HOME> directory with the actual directory
    2. Now place the script in /etc/init.d/ and make sure to give the full execute permission to this file
    3. Now create a soft link point to the run level of your system
        ln -s /etc/init.d/startWebLogicAdmin /etc/rc2.d/S28startWebLogicAdmin
    Remember S is used for startup and K is used during shutdown
    4. You can then check if the startup service is properly configured using corresponding unix level flavor
    chkconfig --list startWebLogicAdmin

    I think that I've found the problem but I need your help. The problem is related to the listener. The file listener.ora doesn't exist!!! In fact the listener starts perfectly when I type the command lsnrctl start, but I don't understand why this file doesn't appear :-O. And of course neither the file sqlnet.ora exists.
    I've create these files and I'm going to check. But could you tell how to configure sqlnet.ora to get the file listener.trc?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Oracle Startup/Shutdown

    Having trouble with EM in a windows server environment running 10G
    When i startup/shutdown my server do i need to stop the listener, dbconsole and agent?
    Everytime i reboot my TEST server EM stops working. I have checked the windows services start ok - all do with no errors. but i get the listeneer starting sometimes and sometime not. The agent and DB instance connection instances show failed on the http://myserver:1158/em page.
    I have checked tnsnames and listener.ora.
    Is there a process of things to start/stop when rebooting my server?
    Also whe i try to start them manually a page is displayed saying enter logon credential but the credentials i enter .e.g. sys-password123 are not accepted. Does anyone have any idea what the credential i should be inputting here is it oracle-oralce or something?
    Please note i have done loads of reading but can't find a solution to my problem thanks to all who take time to read/reply to what may seem a very basic question

    By default the Oracle services are set to automatically start. When you reboot your server the services start and you should be able to connect. However if you try to connect right after the reboot, most probably this error will show up since the Enterprise Manager requires the database to be already registered against the listener, which may take a while (not more than 60 sec),
    Verify this checklist:
    1. The listener is up and running. LSNRCTL STATUS
    2. The database is registered against the listener. You may issue the command LSNRCTL SERVICES.
    3. You may force the database to be registered against the listener by issuing the ALTER SYSTEM REGISTER; command from a sqlplus prompt.
    One more things you should take care of is the IP assignment method, if you have a dynamic IP address assignment you should configure a loopback adapter and and have the Loopback Adapter's IP address registered at the hosts file along with the hostname. If you fail to do so you may find EM will be requesting you for the logon credentials when you attempt to access the Performance tab or any other administrative task.

  • How to automatically startup Oracle on SUSE Linux

    I have Oracle 11g installed on a server running SUSE Linux 11. I followed the official Oracle instructions to try to set up Oracle for automatic startup.
    My /etc/oratab file contains the following:
    sidname:/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db:Y
    I created a /etc/init.d/dbora file, which contains the following:
    #! /bin/sh  -x
    # Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
    # directory for your installation.
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db
    # Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
    # oracle owner at your site.
    ORACLE=oracle
    PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    HOST=`hostname`
    PLATFORM=`uname`
    export ORACLE_HOME PATH
    if [ ! "$2" = "ORA_DB" ] ; then
       if [ "$PLATFORM" = "HP-UX" ] ; then
          remsh $HOST -l $ORACLE -n "$0 $1 ORA_DB"
          exit
       else
          rsh $HOST -l $ORACLE  $0 $1 ORA_DB
          if [ "$PLATFORM" = "Linux" ] ; then
              touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
          fi
          exit
       fi
    fi
    case $1 in
    'start')
            $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME &
    'stop')
            $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME &
            echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit
    esac
    exit
    Then I ran the following commands:
    chgrp dba /etc/init.d/dbora
    chmod 750 /etc/init.d/dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K01dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99dbora
    ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
    shutdown -r now
    After restarting, Oracle was not running:
    server:~ # ps -fea | grep ora
    root      2681  2563  0 21:18 ?        00:00:00 hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/fd0 because it is explicitly disabled
    root      2688  2563  0 21:18 ?        00:00:00 hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec)
    root      4491  4333  0 21:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep ora
    server:~ # ps -fea | grep lsnr
    root      4493  4333  0 21:19 pts/1    00:00:00 grep lsnr
    Oracle runs fine after I start the instance (by logging into sqlplus as "sys as sysdba" and issuing the "startup" command) and listener. But it won't start up automatically after restarting the server. Why is that?

    I got it working.  I had to change the dbora file to look like this:
    #! /bin/sh  -x
    # Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home
    # directory for your installation.
    ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/product/11gR2/db
    # Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the
    # oracle owner at your site.
    ORACLE=oracle
    PATH=${PATH}:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    export ORACLE_HOME PATH
    touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
    case $1 in
    'start')
            su - $ORACLE $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME &
    'stop')
            su - $ORACLE $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME &
            echo "usage: $0 {start|stop}"
            exit
    esac
    exit
    Then I had to delete the listener.log and startup.log files in $ORACLE_HOME because they were incorrectly owned by root.

  • Automatic Startup of Oracle 8.1.6.0 on MS Windows 2000

    Problem: Database not starting automatically.
    OracleService<SID> states "starting" instead of "started".
    Database can be opened manually via DBA Studio or via sql command line.
    O/S: W2k Service Pack 2
    RDBMS Version: Oracle 8.1.6.0.0 for Windows
    Tasks previously completed to remedy the problem with no satisfactory results.
    The OracleService<SID> deleted and reinstalled using oradim.exe.
    Oracle Service startup set to "Automatic";
    Registry checked to ensure the path is correct for the parameter file. Path is over 39 characters (another post said older versions could handle only 39 chars - is this still a problem in 8i).
    Has anyone else experienced this problem and subsequently resolved it or developed a work-a-round.
    Thanks
    David Miller

    Hi,
    I'm new with Oracle, and I'm having problems installing the database v8i on Windows XP-Home. My classmates have successfully installed it with both XP-Pro and XP-Home. The problem is that when I click on the Install icon, the disk spins for a while, then nothing happens, and the installation doesn't even start. When I list the files on the CD and click on the setup file and select Run from the pull down menu, and enter my user name (which has administrator privileges) and password, Oracle opens a window with a message that the registry cannot be modified because I don't have permissions, and closes down.
    I know the CD is good, because I tried in a different computer. Are there any settings on Windows that I'm missing? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
