Oracle Not Available Error Message

My application has been running fine until today. I have not changed any code in a while, but now I'm suddently getting the error message:
Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException: ORA-1034: ORACLE not available
The database is not shutdown and I can run a query on the database server just fine. I have tried shutting down and re-starting the database, but I still get the same error.
I'm running ODP.NET 9.2.0.401.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi Jimmy,
Can you run a query (e.g. using SQL*Plus) from the Client?
If so, check the Data Source=<tns_name_alias> if it matches with the alias entry in Client side tnsnames.ora.
S.H.

Hi FK,
On Windows, it can sometimes mean that the services are not running. I have a check here:

Have you tried using oradim?

The oradim utility provides more than just the ability to start and stop Windows databases. Windows oradim can create and edit databases. It also allows DBAs to configure script-based installation mechanisms.
The oradim utility is used on the Windows platform to perform these tasks.
C:\oracle9i\bin\oradim -startup -sid ORCL92 –usrpwd manager
-starttype SRVC,INST -pfile C:\oracle9i\admin\ORCL92\pfile\init.ora
• startup – Indicates that the specified instance should be started.
• sid – The SID of the database to start.
• usrpwd – The password for the database user.
• starttype – Specifies whether to start the instance, the service, or both
Hope this helps. . .

'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard

Hi, I regularly seem to get a 'Bluetooth not available' error message since upgrading to Leopard, any ideas why, have to reboot to shake it.
cheers
Simon

I solved the same issue by resetting the SMC. With the computer off, remove the battery and press and hold the power button for 5 seconds. Then reinstall the battery and restart. I haven't had any bluetooth issues since.

O1034 Oracle not available error

Right, I'm running on a Windows Xp platform, I've installed ok and it runs ok. I have manually altered the password of user HR from within sqlplus, and everything is fine.The problem comes when I switch off and switch back on, I am unable to start the database.
Running sqlplus system/password gives me ORA-01034 Oracle not available and ORA-27101: Shared memory realm does not exist.
I have tried running stobdb.bat and startdb.bat which both run ok, but I still get the oracle not available error when going into sqlplus. It seems that the PC does not install the oracle set up on booting perhaps? I also cannot access the "Go to database home page", from my web browser, but I'm not sure if it is necessary to access that home page?

We are seeing this a little bit, and not sure what is causing it at this stage. Starting the database manually seems to help, or at least points to the root cause problems.
The steps to start the database manually are posted at Re: ORA-01033 after starting and trying to connect. and also posted below
To shutdown manually go to the SQL Command Line (as the OS user that installed Oracle).
At the SQL Prompt SQL> issue
connect / as sysdba
For example
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
Then type
shutdown immediate;
You should see the following
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Then type
startup
You should see the following
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 599785472 bytes
Fixed Size 1249348 bytes
Variable Size 192942012 bytes
Database Buffers 402653184 bytes
Redo Buffers 2940928 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
Just to be sure, also try a select
select count(*) from hr.employees;
You should see
SQL> select count(*) from hr.employees;
COUNT(*)
107
Any problems or errors reported with any of these steps, please let us know.

Hi all,
I am using oracle database 10gR2 on windows 2000 pro system.
I have Installed oracle software and there was no issue with that but now I am facing ORA-01034: ORACLE not available error while trying to create asm instance or even while creating database through dbca.
I have tried creating the asm instance manually and it was succeeded. Also database creation was successful through manual steps.

ORA - 01034 : ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE Error while creating new instance.

I was trying to create new instance in unix environment. I have configured all my shell scripts to run and install but while performing the install I get the
following error message and fails.
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
I have previously installed an instance using same scripts but fails this time when I copy the scripts and modify them in new folder. Pointed out the path in the scripts correctly.
I am a junior DBA and I would appriciate your help.

Paste here scripts, your .profile (or environment variables according to Oracle) and your init.ora

Database is not comming up. 'ORACLE not available' error

I have two servers and one master backup server. Sun OS version 10 and Oracle 10 standarded edition are installed in three servers. Database files are saved in EMC storage and storage is mounted to the server while transactions are going on. Once I mounted the storage on the master backup server, database is started. This is my environment.
In my case, while database is runing on master backup server, some one has unmounted the storage without shutting down the database. So I manually killed all oracle processes and remount the storage. Then tried to start the database, but database was not comming up and only one entry is there in the alert log saying 'instance is starting' and following message was given.
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
: 13: Permission denied
As well as I can't see any oracle processes are running.
Then I tried to mount the other server's storage volumes and start its database on the master backup server. Fortunatly it was started successfully.Then I tried to remount my first server and start the database. Again it was failed. Finally I restarted the server and problem solved. So I need to clarify what the reason to happen this situation. Please give me a proper solution as I am not an experienced DBA.
Each time I tried to log into the database locally.
Thank you.

Hey Man,,
I think the problem with the server name or IP try this;
Try to check the host name, I have the same problem (on windows).
I checked the host name in system32/drivers/etc/hosts.
in this file find out the ip and name of ur machine, if some thing wrong there make ur own entry with ur machine ip and name. (do not alter existing entries add your own entry)
and then reboot the system
Hope this will work.

"the installation source for this product is not available" error message

I was following directions to update to i-tunes 10, and my computer was trying to shut down in order to restart. It froze, and would not turn off, so I turned it off manually, then restarted. I got distracted and did not wonder why i-tunes did not finish installing. Tried to open i-tunes later from the desktop shortcut and it said something about not being installed all the way, so the shortcut was not valid.
I tried to uninstall all the i-tunes stuff, in order, from my computer to try installing it again, and I cannot uninstall i-tunes!! It gives me this error message; "the installation source for this product is not available" and then gives me a file name to search my computer for, that can't be found. I MISS my i-tunes. Please help! How do I get the old i-tunes version off my computer?

These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try reinstalling iTunes. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Time Machine "Backup disk not available" error message since install Snow L

Since installing Snow Leopard my back-ups have failed, generating the error message "The back-up disk is not available." Last successful back-up was immediately pre-install of Snow Leopard. TM looks like it is backing up but in the end I get the error message. The wireless aspect for internet connect works fine so I don't think connectivity is the issue.
I am not real techie so insult me with basics. Thanks.

I have four macs using time machine on a single 1TB drive connected to Airport Extreme through USB. This morning I got the dreaded error-109 on Mac#1. This occured right after I had added Mac#4 to the bunch. While adding the Mac#4, I mounted my airport disk and then used time machine to select it for backup. I forgot to eject it after it had done the initial backup. That was when the error occured on the Mac#1.
Mac #1 C2D Mini 2009 SL 10.6.2
Mac #2 G5 DP L 10.5.8
Mac #3 MBP 2009 SL 10.6.2
Mac #4 MB C2D2006 SL 10.6.2
First I turned off TM on all of the Macs. I mounted the airport disk again, on Mac#1. I deleted the sparsebundle for Mac#1. I opened TM and selected the airport disk for backup. It is now backing up again on Mac#1. When it is finished, I will turn on TM once again on the other macs and see what happens. There is still a chunk of space left on the airport disk, about 680GB after all of the backups

Calendar Sharing not available error message

Trying to share my calendar with staff at the office here. I get the error:
Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network.
I am using Offiice 2007 SP1, Exchange Server 2007 SP1
I can however go to the other workstation and use the "open a shared calendar" option to access my shared calendar.
It does work on some accounts, but not the majority of accounts.
Where do I start trouble shooting this issue? How do I check the "permission settings on my network"
Sorry if this is an easy one, I'm a new user to exchange. This is not a full production setup yet, still testing before I let folks know what it can do.
Thanks

Issue description: You can’t share calendar to other people
“Calendar sharing is not available with the following entries because of permission settings on your network”
Collect info:
1.       Do the users you want to share belong to other forests?
2.       Is the issue only happened on your account?
3.       Is there any error info in the application log on the server or client if you reproduce the issue?
Troubleshooting:
1.       How did you grant the permission to other users, from the “Properties” of the calendar or share it in the invitation? Please check which permissions stay in the “Properties” of calendar by default
2.       Check if DACL status is “GOOD” on your calendar by using PFDavAdmin
a.       Launch tool on client [Install NET Framework 1.1 at first]
b.      “File” menu->”connect”->select “mailbox” to connect->OK
c.       Right-click your mailbox->”Folder permissions”
d.      Check the “DACL state” on the right-up corner
3.       Check if “automatically update e-mail addresses based on e-mail address policy” option is checked
a.       EMC->Recipient Configuration->Mailbox, go to the “Properties” of your mailbox
b.      “E-Mail Address” tab, check the option
4.       Please recreate your mail profile on another test PC, see if you can reproduce the issue. in this way, we can isolate the issue to server or client side

I am unable to view any videos from the BBC website, getting "Not Available" error message. Works ok with Internet Explorer.

When I go to the BBC (British Broadcasting Corp) website, and click on a video, I get a "Not Available" message. I do not encounter this problem with Internet Explorer. I currently have
the Firefox 3.6.18 version installed. Thank you.

Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

Oracle Not Available Error

Hi Everyone,
I have properly Installed Oracle 8.1.7 (Standard Edition) On
Windows 2000 with
2GB RAM.
When I start to create database using Database Configuration
assistant after 3% I am
Getting ORA-01034 Error. I did reinstalled once again ,the same
message comes up again. May I know why? help me please?
Ramu

Hi Ramu,
Try this, what happens tell me (definitely it will work) through mail to this ID: [email protected]
1. GO TO THE "svrmgrl" file (in a 'BIN' file - do a search for files if not sure where it is). Double-click on it and a dos_style prompt will open. Type "connect internal" (without the quotes!) and press enter. Then type "startup open". Then wait a short while and the database will be opened. You will then be able to connect to sql, etc without getting this error. It is a good idea to copy this file onto your desktop as a shortcut so that when you boot/restart you can access it straight away.

Oracle not available while creating RAC database

Hi,
I have got 2node Oracle 10gR2 RAC installed on solaris 10 and am using NFS for keeping clusterware and database files.
cluvfy with pre dbinst option ran successfully.
Now while creating RAC database through DBCA, I am getting Oracle not Available error message. No relevant message written in alert log.
Can you suggest me as to what to do to resolve the issue please.
Thanks in advance.

Do you see any kind of logs under $OH/cfgtool*/dbca/..may be it will help with some pointers. If that doesn't give any useful information, try to startup nomount the instance using a sample init.ora file to see if reports anything in the alert log.
Thanks
-Chandra
