Automated Oracle Startup & Shutdown

I am trying to get make my Oracle database shutdown and startup
automatically at boot, but am having a hard time getting this to
work properly. I have created a file in /etc/rc.d/init.d called
dbora:
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c $ORACLE_BASE/admin/bin/dbstart.sh &
'stop')
su - oracle -c $ORACLE_BASE/admin/bin/dbshut.sh &
esac
I also created the following links in EVERY (out of frustration)
/etc/rc.d/rc#.d directory:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 1 10:12 S99dbora -
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dboralrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jul 1 10:12 K30dbora -
/etc/rc.d/init.d/dboraThe problem does not really appear to be linked to the actual
database shutdown or startup, but rather with LINUX. I have
replaced the contents of dbstart.sh & dbshut.sh with a simple
echo redirect to file to prove this out. Specifically, here is
what is happening:
* Running "dbora start" or "dbora stop" manually always works.
* Neither "dbora start" or "dbora stop" work when booting or
switching runlevels, although the message STARTING DBORA does
scroll past the console.
I have several people look at this here and no one can figure
out why this isn't working. Can you assist?

Peter,
Normally the problem here is that the environment is not set, or
is not being set correctly OR that things that Oracle needs to be
available have already been killed (lower run level) or have not
been started (higher run level).
Check that the environment is OK when the dbora script is run and
check that your scripts are called in the right order of things
when moving between run levels.
Regards,
Mark

Oracle 10.2..0.3.0 - Database shutdown during connection

Hi,
I have oracle 10.2.0.3.0 with developer 6i as front-end. I can successfully connect to the database from forms6i during the development and runtime but failing to connect to oracle when trying through oracle query builder. It also shutdown the database.
The same problem I am getting when I try to connect through OLEDB or ODBC.
Please let me know what is the problem. Is there something wrong with this version.
Thanks
Nasir

There is only one database available and I can connect via SQLPLUS.
I also tried to seach any reason in trace files but only get following line. I dont know if it is related to this issue.

How to automate the Oracle database start and shutdown process

How we can automate and oracle database start and stop procees with Linux start/shutdown process.
I want to automatically start the oracle database at the time linux server and shutdown the database on shutdown linux server.

Hi,
I can share my scripts:
1) /home/oracle/start_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
lsnrctl start
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit
ENDSQL
emctl start dbconsole
isqlplusctl start
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
2) /home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh
#Script should be ran as Oracle user
cd /tmp
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/ora9i
isqlplusctl stop
emctl stop dbconsole
sqlplus -S /nolog <<ENDSQL
connect / as sysdba
shutdown immediate
exit
ENDSQL
lsnrctl stop
NOTE: emctl and isqlplus are optional
Then what you need:
1) K91oracle_stop (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Stop Oracle before reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/stop_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/stoporacle.log
2) S91oracle_start (put it in the desired run level)
#!/bin/bash
# description: Start Oracle after reboots
su - oracle -c "/home/oracle/start_oracle.sh" >> /home/oracle/startoracle.log
Bye.

Shutdown Oracle Database in MSCS Environment

Dear All,
We are facing problem regarding shutdown the oracle database in Cluster Environment. We have installed SAP HA on windows 2003 server and backend database is Oracle.
In order to configure the dataguard we have to create the control file from Primary Database for this purpose we have to shutdown and then startup the database in mount state.
But whenever i shutdown the database from SQL prompt by "shutdown immediate" command and see the status of
database it always remains in open state.
I have tried the following options as well but no success:-
Stop all the instances of SAP and then shutdown the database.
Shutdown the second node and then shutdown the database.
Brought offline the ORACLE<SID> group and then shutdown the database.
Kind Regards

Hi,
ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error"
The above error message comes if Oracle Listener service is not running. Start Oracle TNS Listener service, if it is not running.
You can create control file while your Primary Database is ONLINE. Use the below mentioned command to create standby control file and use it for recovery at Standby database.
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/path/to/controlfile.ctl';
If you want to Start/Stop SAP/ORACLE in MCSC environment then refer the steps mentioned in these threads, [thread1|Re: how to start/stop a MSCS clustered SAP system?; and [thread2|Stop sap and oracle on MSCS;.

How to trace which user shutdown oracle database in unix OS?

our organization is having 10 DBA with sysdba priviladge. We are using UNIX operating system. At morning say for example if some one (SYSDBA user) shutdown the oracle database how other sysdba user trace the user who shutdown the database? the information i need is terminal from where oracle got shutdown and the username? Please help...

Hello,
You are right Sybrand, SYSDBA connections are always audited.
My answer was about enabling auditing to any connections, which may give informations about who access to the Database in general. And, this is true, it was not the scope of the OP question.
However, so as to enlarge audit of SYS/SYSDBA/SYSOPER operations, setting the parameter audit_sys_operations=TRUE may be interesting:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/network.112/e16543/auditing.htm#DBSEG0611
To the OP:
Where the audit tracefile get genareted for sys user?You may execute this:
show parameter audit_file_destThank again Sybrand for correcting me.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

What happen during shutdown oracle database

Dear All,
i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
What happens during shutdown oracle database :
and the suggested answer :
1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
please suggest the right answer .
Regards

Hi Anwar,
When you close a database, Oracle writes all database data and recovery data in the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files, respectively. Next, Oracle closes all online datafiles and redo log files.
When you terminate the instance of an open database/use abort command to close and completely shut down the database the writing of all data in the buffers of the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files is skipped. The subsequent reopening of the database requires recovery, which Oracle performs automatically.
I hope this will help you out to understand the process.

Is it mandatory to shutdown oracle database before installing HTMLDB

Hi All,
Is this is must to shutdown the all services like HTTP and others before installing HTMLDB 1.6?If this, then it will be huge impact to deploy the application finally in the production oracle database where parallely others processes and jobs are running.So huge outage might occur.
So is there any other way rather than shutdown oracle database and tnslistener?
Thnx in advance,
Cheers,
Eman

Anybody have any idea who install HTMLDB remotely in the production database without shutdown the services ?

Check pushitz website and ensure that you have all the required rpms installed properly.
Check the log files in the installation directory. That should give some more details as to what exactly is going on.

Can't mount oracle database on linux system

This is same as previous posting just added
e-mail and username info fo forum posting.
I am not able to mount an Oracle database.
I am new to Oracle and am working on an Oracle8i installation on an
Intel Linux Suse 6.3 platform. I am using only one harddrive and am
not using the 4 mount points as mentioned for efficiecy purposes in
the Oracle documentation..I am using the installation cd from Oracle8i
for Linux Starter Kit by Oracle Press. If anyone has this book they
can refer to pages 41-44 for the examples I followed.
As sysdba in sqplplus using the STARTUP command I can not Mount the
database -step 2 of the 3 stage process (Start, Mount and Open the
database) of opening an Oracle database.
I show the errors I encountered when I did the first 2 of the 3 steps
in the step-by-step mode (STARTUP NOMOUNT pfile=, ALTER DATABASE
MOUNT) in the sqlplus session and alert log respectively with startup
nomount and alter database mount for this sqlplus session.
Additionally I show the init.ora file lines referring to control file
which seem to be referred to by the sqlplus error messages and the
alert.log file. Perhaps some can give me some advice as what I can try
to fix this problem.
At the end of this e-mail I added several questions I had in regard to the control
files. Any help is appreciated.
Well, here are the sqlplus session results and its alert.log file:

init.ora control files
# define two control files by default
control_files = (ora_control1, ora_control2)
Here are my control file questions:
I need to know several points:
1) What are control files susposed to
contain and how would I recognize them?
I used the
unix find /usr/oracle \*ctl* -print
command to locate files with a ctl extension.
This resulted in about a dozen such files in
different directories as shown below:
./bin/lsnrctl
./bin/extractlib
./bin/agtctl
./bin/oidctl
./bin/lsnrctl0
./bin/agtctlO
./rdbms/demo/ulcase1.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase10.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase2.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase3.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase4.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase5.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase6.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase7.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase8.ctl
./rdbms/demo/ulcase9.ctl
./ldap/load/dn.ctl
./ldap/load/attr_store.ctl
./ord/ts/demo/tsquick/tsquick.ctl
./ord/ts/demo/usageutl/utildat.ctl
./ord/ts/demo/usage/stockdat.ctl

./javavm/admin/libjox8com_sun_jndi_ldap_ctl.so
./md/demo/examples/migctl.h
./md/demo/examples/migctl.c
2) On page 100 in the book Oracle 8i A Beginners's
by Oracle Press mention is made of a
CREATE CONTROLFILE command that can under
circumstances be used to re-create a control-file.
but that is all that is said about it. Perhaps
you might know something more about it.
3) Would you recommend any good text for
Oracle DBA's, especially for the problem of the sort
that I am encountering?

It's probably not supported on RHEL5/Centos5/etc., but...
You can get the installer to function using the following steps:
- extract the cal_linux_*.tar.gz, and cd into the OracleCalendar_inst directory
In there is the actual installer, cal_linux.
- the cal_linux is shell script wrapped around some binary blobs. The installer's
problem is that Oracle is setting the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 environment
variable, which is a mistake on RHEL5. You need to make it not set that variable,
but you need to do so in a way that the size of the shell script does not change at all,
and none of the binary blobs are impacted.
- the approach I took was
mv cal_linux cal_linux.BAK
sed -e 's/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5/LD_ASSUME_KERNEL= /g' < cal_linux.BAK > cal_linux
chmod a+rx cal_linux
cal_linux -i gui
Note: you must have exactly 5 spaces in the substitution part of the sed command, because you're replacing 5 characters (2.2.5), and the size of the shell script must not change.
If you do that, the installer should run (one warning from awk still) and you should be able to install the product.

How to take a Hot backup of Oracle database

1: put the db in archive log mode
2: set the db_sid to correct one
3: login to sqlplus
4: verify the name of the db that you are connected to
select name from v$database;
5: check if the db is in archive log made
select log_mode from v$database;
if not in archive log mode
another command to check
archive log list;
6: find where on disk oracle writes archive log when it is in archive log mode
sql> show parameter log_archive_dest_1;
if the value is found to be 0, that means no values will be recorded, so we need to change it
sql> alter system set log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=c:\database\oradata\finance\archived_logs\'
scope=spfile;
7: shutdown immediate; < this is done just to prepare the db for hot backups >
8: startup the db in mount mode
startup mount;
( 3 startup types : nomount - just starts the instance, mount - locates the control files and open up according to the values, open - finds the datafiles from the control files and opens up the db )
9: put the db in archive log mode
alter database archivelog;
10: open the database
alter database open;
11: check the status of the db
select log_mode from v$database;
SQL> archive log list;
12: create a directory for archived log
check if its empty, if empty we need to switch
sql> alter system archive log current;
run it 5 times < need to put / and enter > , then check the archive log dir , we will find files
13: make a table in the database and insert data in it
create table employees (fname varchar(2));
check the table
desc employees;
insert values
insert into employees values ('Mica');
14: tablespace must be in hot backup mode
check the status
select * from v$backup;
if found not active, then we need to change
we cannot put the db in hot backup mode, unless it is archive log mode
change to hot backup mode
alter database begin backup;
check the status
select * from v$backup;
15: now we can only COPY DBF FILES
copy *dbf <distination location>
16: need to take the db out to hot backup mode
alter database end backup;
17: need to make another archive log switch
alter system archive log current;
18: need to copy control files now, need to do a binary bckup
alter database backup controlfile to '<location>\controlbackup';
19: insert more values to the table
insert into employess values ('NASH')
COMMIT;
make another archive log switch : alter system archive log current;
do the same process for more values
20 : backup all the archive logs to a new location
21: shutdown the db and simulate a hw error, delete all the files from the database folder
22: try to start the sqlplus and db ::: error
23: copy all the backups to the db dir
need to copy the control files, rename the binary backup of the control file and make the copies as needed
24: try to mount the db, error < must use reset logs or noreset logs >
25: need to do a recovering of the database
shutdown
restore the archive logs
startup mount;
recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
it will ask for a log file :
yes for recovery
cancel for cancelling recovery
26: check status: open the database in readonly
alter database open read only;
check the tables to see the data
shutdown immediate
shartup mount;
recover again : recover database until cancel using backup controlfile;
if oracle is asking for a log that do nto exist , all we have to do is type cancel
27: open the database
alter database open;
need to do reset logs
alter database open resetlogs;
28: check the db that you are connected, check the tables
thanks and regards

A very long list ... let me make it shorter.
SQL> archive log list;If I see this:
Database log mode No Archive ModeI put the database into archivelog mode and leave it there forever.
If it is in archivelog mode:
RMAN> TARGET SYS/<password>@<service_name> NOCATALOG
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;Though there are a lot of things one could do better such as incrementals with block change tracking, creating an RMAN catalog, etc.
