Oracle automatic startup

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g installed on Windows 2000 SP4. Oracle automatically starts up... is there any way to change this so that I can manually startup Oracle every time?
Thanks
Mark

In Configuration Panel\Administration Tools\Services windows, Configure the service OracleService<SID> as manually.

Oracle automatic startup at boot time

Hello all,
I need one help.I need oracle db server automatic startup at boot time in solaris 10 environment.
I need to know also location of ORATAB .
Thanks in advance.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Oracle 10g automatic startup in Solaris 10

Good afternoon,
I've installed Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition Server on a server with Solaris 10. I'm trying to configure the automatic startup/shutdown. I've changed dbstart script. I've prepared dbora script and I've created the necessary link to this script in the rc*.d directories.
When I launch dbora start or dbora stop everything is ok, but when I reboot my machine nothing happens.
My dbora script is as follow:
#!/bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/Db_1
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if[ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start"
'stop')
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl stop"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut"
esac
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

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 DATABASE의 AUTOMATIC STARTUP/SHUTDOWN

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1995-11-21
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 <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbshut
Solaris 에서는 start, stop 같은 파라미터는 /etc/init.d/dbstart,
/etc/init.d/dbshut 에서는 무시된다.
/etc/init.d/dbstart, /etc/init.d/dbshut 화일은 owner가 oracle owner id
이여야 한다.
/etc/init.d/README 를 읽어보면 좀 더 자세한 내용이 설명되어 있으니 참조하기
바란다.
(4)AIX
/etc/inittab : 시스템 초기화 화일
/etc/rc : 시스템 초기화 스크립트
/etc/mkitab : /etc/inittab 을 수정하는 유틸리티
/etc/shutdown : 시스템 shutdown 스크립트
AIX 에서는 오라클 autostartup 방법은 여러가지가 가능하지만 shutdown 은
한가지만 가능하다. 우선 autostartup 은 다음과 같은 방법 가운데 하나를
사용하면 된다.
a)/etc/mkitab 를 사용하여 /etc/inittab 에 entry 를 추가한다. 즉,
/etc/mkitab "<oracle_owner>:2:wait:/bin/su <oracle_owner> -c
<$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 $*
(5)HP/UX
/etc/rc : 시스템 startup 화일
/etc/shutdown : 시스템 shutdown 실행 화일
/etc/shutdown.d : 시스템 shutdown 디렉토리
HP/UX 에서는 시스템 startup 시에 /etc/rc 가 실행된다. 따라서 다음 라인을
/etc/rc 스크립트의 마지막에 추가하면 auto startup 이 가능해진다.
su <oracle_owner> -c <$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 $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut 으로 symbolic link 지정
c)다음과 같은 스크립트 작성
#!/bin/sh
su <oracle_owner> -c <$ORACLE_HOME>/bin/dbshut
단,이 스크립트는 root의 소유이고 root에 의해서만 실행 가능해야 한다.
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.
So i am confused about configuring automatic startup/shutdown scripts.
Can you guys please let me know how to setup automatic startup/shutdown for these multiple Oracle Homes.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Bellow is a HP-UX script that can help. Create three scripts like oracle8, oracle9, oracle10 with correct path values. and than decide the runlevels and create soft links for the scripts you created, for example;
Under /sbin/rc3.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle10 S999oracle10
Under /sbin/rc1.d and /sbin/rc2.d
ln -s /sbin/init.d/oracle10 C9oracle10

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.

9iAS R2 Automatic Startup at Boot time on Windows

How to successfully start the 9iAS R2 Application Server at boot time.
Many of you are still struggling with the problem of 9iAS R2 not automatically starting up properly when your system is restarted. I've been fighting this issue for several weeks and have found the problems, and pitfalls, involved with fixing it. It really is a race condition of things trying to start up before something it depends on is fully functioning, or some application starting out of sequence.
There is a bug associated with this problem; BUG 2511270 ( 9IASV2 Need Ability to Restart All Components in Instance After a Reboot). The bug report itself has very little useful information in it other than to say it doesn't work, and manually starting the components is the only known fix. If you're like me. this isn't a good enough answer.
Your mileage may vary.
My configuration has a 9.2.0.1 customer database, and a 9.0.1.3.1 infrastructure database that is also the application server database, including portals, all installed on the same system which is a Pentium 4, Windows 2000 machine, with 1.5GB of memory. I only use a single LISTENER, which runs out of the 9.2 DB ORACLE_HOME.
Chapter 5 (Starting and Stopping the Application Server) of the Oracle9i Application Server Administrator's Guide shows all of the commands necessary, in the proper order, to manually start the infrastructure and application server. Unfortunately, there is also some incorrect information in this document.
Part 1c in the section Starting an Infrastructure Using Commands on Windows, using SQLPlus to connect to and start the database, does not work unless oracle.exe is already running (which means that you recently shutdown the database by command, not with "services>stop"). If your system is rebooting, oracle.exe is not running. This exact same information is documented in the Database Administrators Guide, Chapter 4, Starting a Database. If you don't have these manuals handy the offending commands are as follows:
ORACLE_HOME\bin\sqlplus /nologsql> connect sys/password_for_sys as sysdba
sql> startup
sql> quit
Since we can't put some variant of the above in a command script to manually start the databases and wait for it to open, the only option left is to let the databases come up in "automatic" mode when the system boots, and run the remaining commands when they are open. If your system is like mine, that can take several minutes, even after you've logged on and gotten your first cup of coffee.
If you set up a command script to run at startup, you don't have any control over when the script gets run, more than likely, in this case, before the databases are open. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not have anything resembling a sleep (timer, wait, delay, etc) command that can be used in a script. There may be something somewhere, but I can't find it. So I wrote one in Perl, which does have a sleep command. You can use anything you have available to you that will function as needed. We obtained our Perl distribution from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Perl.
The next issue has to do with starting the Oracle Internet Directory. The documentation shows two commands to execute, but in reality, only the first one is required, it automatically takes care of the second one. Refer to the command file below for the correct one.
The last issue deals with running the dcmctl commands. If you run these commands one at a time in a command window, you won't notice anything askew. If you run them, as shown, in a script, they will stop execution of the script when they complete, and there will be no indication that anything wrong has happened. The CMD.exe still exists, it just isn't running. They must be run in there own cmd command as shown below.
Now, let's review the steps necessary to get all this to work.
Put the two scripts shown below in there target directories and edit any necessary changes for your system.
In Start>Settings>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services set the OracleServiceSID's and the OracleOraHomeTNSListener to Automatic Startup Type. All other Oracle* services should be set to Manual.
In Start>Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks double click on the Add Scheduled Task item,
select Next,
Browse to where your startup script resides,
double click the file name,
select "When my computer starts",
select Next,
Enter a user name and password (that has ORA_DBA privileges)
select Next, then Finish.
Uncomment the first exit in the iasStartup.cmd script.
Reboot your system.
Compare the database open time stamp in each database alert log to the time recorded in the iasStartup.log file to determine you first time delay. Add 10-20 seconds or more to this difference just to be safe. If you add services at a later time, this number may need to be increased.
Edit the iasStartup.cmd file to include this time delay for the first sleep command and comment out the first exit command.
Reboot your system.
After several minutes, all infrastructure and application server processes should be up and running. You can check this in several ways; Look at the log file to see if all commands were run, Look at the Windows Task Manager to see if all expected tasks are running, Look at Services to see what is running. Finally, you can look at the Infrastructure Enterprise Manager Website and click on each instance to determine the current status of each system component. On mine, the component Portal:portal:7779 always shows as down but in reality it is functioning.
The following command script only starts the minimum set of processes that I require. Your requirements may be different so refer to the documentation for additional commands.
Enjoy.

When I originally wrote this, the command script worked as advertised. That was yesterday. I've since had to add the following lines just BEFORE the call to start the oidmon.

Can't change /etc/oratab file or automatic startup problem on linux!!!

Hi friends,
I have installed an Oracle 11.2.0.1 on Oracle Linux Server 5.11(Virtualbox). I have the users grid and oracle11g. Add groups and install grid infrastructure first as a grid user and install database as oracle user as in documentation successfully.
I have following users and groups as
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ id grid
   uid=501(grid) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),492(vboxsf),501(grid),503(dba),505(asmdba),506(asmadmin),507(asmoper)

When I log on as grid user. I check the followings:
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ crsctl check has
CRS-4638: Oracle High Availability Services is online
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl status database -d ora11g
Database is running.

Till here everything is OK!!!!
When I edit /etc/oratab file; change N to Y for +ASM and restart the system, then it seems value N is not changed to Y. But changed for database as shown below.
     +ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid:N   # line added by Agent
     ora11g:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
QUESTIONS!!!!!
1. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved (changed N to Y manually) but the first row become unsaved (although changed N to Y) again after restarting the system?
2. After restarting the system database and ASM started automatically, although the line is not changed to Y above (in oratab file) for ASM. What is the reason and how can I change to Y? Or if I have to change the N to Y or not?
3. Is it enough to edit N to Y in oratab file for ASM and database to start ASM and database automatically? I think there will be some other scripts have to be created in /etc/init.d/ directory for automatic startup.
PLEASE HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND THIS PROBLEM CLEARLY!!!!
Thanks!!!

Thanks for reply ZeDBA,
I don't want to prevent auto starting. As 2769577 stated above that
    "...You may not need to edit in oratab since it's automatically taken care by HAS in 11g..."
It is meaningful and perhaps it is the exact reason or solution.
Question is that, why I can't edit oratab file manually for ASM row? ' Not need ' and ' can't ' is different!!
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
+ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grhome_1:N        # line added by Agent
ora11g:/u01/app/oracle11g/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
If we assume the 2769577's answer is exactly correct, reason or solution. Then it means that the row "..
+ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grhome_1:N
# line added by Agent
in oratab file is meaningless and unnecessary if HAS process enabled and automatically start the ASM.
Please clarify it, If I am wrong?
Thanks!!!

Automatic startup of admin server + managed server on Windws

Hello,
I have installed/configured WLS 10.3.6 + Forms/Reports 11.1.2.1 on Windows 2008 R2. All this went ok with no errors.
The NodeManager is installed as a service and runs happily after every reboot of the server. OPMN does it as well.
I can connect to the NodeManager with WLST and start/stop/status the Admin Server and the managed servers (WLS_FORMS,WLS_REPORTS) created during the
the installation/configuration step. Each server has the username/password defined (and already encrypted).
However, when I restart the Windows Server, neither the Admin Server nor the WLS_x servers are started during the boot.
I thought that the configuration process was in charge of setting all this, that was my experience with the previous version Oracle Internet Application Server (iAS) 10.1.2.x (opmn running as a service started them all).
I have run through the installation/configuration docs, and found nothing that says that Oracle will configure (or not) the automatic startup.
1) Is the Oracle configuration process (the one that creates the ClassicDomain) supposed to configure the automatic startup of the admin server + managed servers in this setup ? Am I missing perhaps some extra steps ?
or
2) Do I have to create WLST scripts (that connect to the NodeManager and start the admin server + managed servers) and deploy them as Windows Services myself ?
regards.

Hi,
During weblogic installation in window server, node manager will be automatically registered as window services. But for admin and managed servers, you need to register it manually after succesful installation and configuration for automatic startup during machine reboot.
Please refer the metaliknk id for register as window services:1060058.1.
If this helps please mark.
Regards,
Kishore

11g1 automatic startup under Fedora 9 Linux quit working

11g1 automatic startup under Fedora 9 Linux worked for months
Now I have to start 11g1 manually!
since then I've been doing regular yum updates to a number of new kernels
currently :
LMKIII (root) /var/log [600|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/]>uname -a

on boot page, the usual command that starts 11g1 just zips on by
I've looked in the boot messages to no avail. Still looking.
Has to be a kernel change because I've lect 11g1 alone for months

I did a www.ask.com for "dbstart pam.d" and got the answer.
pam.d and SELINUX are very complex.
I am still wary of lurking problems!

Need to make automatic startup and shut down for the instance

hi to all
i have os : Red Hat lunix as 3 , woth oracle DB 10g 10.0.1
need to make an automatic startup and shut down for the instance when i start and shutdown the OS
i tried Use dbstart and dbshut scripts then created file dbora at dbora as a script
then i did
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc3.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/K01dbora
# ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
nothing worked
if you will attach me any files
my mail is :
[email protected]
thanks much
Ahmed

Hi,
The /etc/oratab should have an entry for this database with 'Y' in the last field as:
Oracle_sid: Oracle_Home:Y, so when dbstart command issued it will check the oratab and starts the database.
I advise you to keep the dbstart and dbshut in different scripts and save them directly in the runlevel directories, instead of creating links.
thanks
srinivas.
