ORACLE Not Available - only when logged on as another user

I can't figure out what I forgot. I installed everything (RH 6.1
and standard) and can login as internal from user oracle no
problems.
When I login from a user I have granted dba to I get Error
01034: ORACLE not Available. This is in sqlplus. I am sure it is
something obvious as I had it working before my 5th reinstall.
Thanks,

Jon,
Are you sure that the Database is started? You will get this
error if it isn't.

Application won`t start - starts when logged in as another user

An application created by Unity doesn`t start. When I double click (or right mouse click and choose `open`) nothing happens. However, when I log in as another user, or when I try to run the same program from a flash drive, it works. I tried a lot, including repairing permissions, but nothing helped.
Thanks in advance !

Try logging into your user while holding down the shift key on your keyboard, to supress any startup items that may be interfering with your program.
If that does not do it, look for a preference file in you user folder by choosing the Go menu from the Finder and selecting Go to Folder and enter ~/Library/Preferences and checking for files having to do with your application. If there are any, move them to your desktop and try again.
If that does not fix it, move them back, replacing the new ones that will be built. Also, if your program uses any data files or libraries when started up, try removing those. Again, if not fixed, put them back.

Adobe Illustrator file will not display correctly when logged in as a user

I am working with an Adobe Illustrator CS2 file that will open and display correctly if I log in as Administrator, but will not display correctly if I am logged on as a user. The error message is that there is not enough memory to display the file correctly and I am forced into preview mode. The user Home folder is on a server. Other than this, I have made certain that the criteria for opening the file match under both interfaces. I have opened the AI CS2 file on other Macs and it opens fine. I conclude that the problem is with the user Home folder, but beyond that, I'm stumped. Any help will be appreciated.

After I filed a bug-report an Apple engineer contacted me, and asked me to try running java in headless mode: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/Desktop/headless/
That solved the problem!

Can operations continue to run when logged in as another user?

I've logged in as myself and I have set an operation to run, its going to run for a while and I would like the ability of my wife to log in. When you do this the operation pauses while logged in as her.
Can it continue to run at the same time?

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.

Oracle 11g Installation DBCA ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available

I have two oracle databases installed (using the default settings in dbca) and running on a Windows 2003 R2 server, already.
However, when I try and create a third using the defaults, after 2%, dbca receives an ORA-01034: Oracle Not Available and stops the creation process.
I've searched 16 hours or so for a similar issue, but haven't had much luck other than to check sqlnet.ora for OS authentication, the registry keys, and tnsnames.ora.
I've looked at the trace log for dbca a few times for the different attempts at creating a new database, and they tend to differ when the error is generated.
Looking at Event Viewer, I noticed that connection events occurred during installation, and that for at least one case, CONNECT / AS SYSDBA occured 3 times before the error was generated.
I've made more than 3 databases on another machine (XP - not server 2003), without any issue, but it seems odd that this error would be because of server 2003.
I'm fairly inexperienced with configuring databases for Oracle, so please excuse my ignorance.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I found out from another dba that oracle takes up 1 gb of memory by default. So creating 2 databases with default settings means that 2 gb of memory was taken on a windows 32 bit server. So that means only 2 gb is available to the machine, and the server takes up more than half of that making the memory available scarce for another oracle database to be created.

Oracle not Available, Shared Memory realm doesn't exist

Hi,
I have problem during XE installation on Windows 2003 R2 SP 2 Enterprise edition. I have uninstall the oracle xe and the result still the same. Finally I uninstall the windows and start all over again, surprisingly the result still the same. FYI, we normally has no issue during installation because this is part of our system we sell to our customer which require oracle xe. This is the first time we have seen this issue.
ORA-01034 : Oracle Not available
ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm doesn't exist.
Oracle XE and listener services is started in the windows services.
if we try to do startup the following message occured.
SQL> connect /as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-44412: XE edition memory parameter invalid or not specified
SQL>
I can send you the oracle_xe log, init ora, and OpsBuildAll.log to create the database.
When we compare with the working installation, we saw that the size of oraclexe folder is less, it's just 233MB while the working one is over 1GB. After investigation, found out that the .dbf files is not avaiable in the oradata folder, i have tried to copy those files from the working one but the problem stay the same, probably there are a lot of files more missing.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
Agus

Hi Wim
You should say that "It may be Control File problem", but you shouldn't say that "it's due to Control File" problem
Please refer to Errors Documentation for more information on ORA-00600
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14219/e0.htm#sthref371
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string], [string]
Cause: This is the generic internal error number for Oracle program exceptions. This indicates that a process has encountered an exceptional condition.
Action: Report as a bug - the first argument is the internal error number

Thanks for reply
I applied all the thing
1. my user is already in dba group.
2. I change the permission on orapwORCL and i recreate the same file.

but as the "create database" starts, i get the ORA-01034 ORACLE NOT AVAILABLE error.
i found this info in the crdb1.log:

Disconnected.
but why do i have the MTS_DISPATCHERS paramenter if i set dedicated server mode? i guess i don't need MultiThreading...
anyway, are the semmsl, semmni, semmns parameters correctly configured? i rememeber i had a similar error and these parameters were to set correctly to make it work, but this time i can't find out the point!!!
please, it's very urgent...
thankx a lot!
matte

i'm installing a new instance, so i don't need neither to set ORACLE_SID, nor to connect to db. i mean... i give my oracle sid in the GUI of the dbassist.
then it's supposed to set it and connect to the instance by its own. the point is that when it tryes the connect internal, it fails.
i bet the trouble is in the /etc/system parameters, but i don't know exactly where....

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.

Urgent! Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available for Oracle10gi

I have used SQL*Plus for a while, but recently when I try to login there is this error message:
Error:
ORA-01034 ORACLE not available
ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
I had search for the solution quite a while. I changed the "sqlnet.ora" from C:\OraHome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN
I changed SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NT; to SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=NONE and then reboot the machine.
The weird thing is that sometimes it works after I reboot the machine, but recently this just doesn't work any more. The SQL*Plus generates the same error message as I wrote above.
It seems like this kind of problem has troubled lots of oracle database users. IS this a bug that exists in the Oracle10gi?
Or does Oracle10gi require to run on certain operating system platform like Windows XP Professional but does not support for Windows XP Home Edition?
Can the Oracle company provide some error solution guide for the public for their own system?
many thanks

No this specific error message is not a result of an Oracle bug to my knowledge.
In my experience it is a simple matter of not using Oracle correctly. Only it is not that simple from a pure end-user perspective as Oracle is not a mickey mouse little filing system that pretends to be a database (like MS Access).
Which makes sense. After all, driving a bicycle does not mean one is able to get on a superbike. And if you respond "what!! why is it a superbike!?" then you need a bicycle in the first place.
The cause of the error you list - the client is making a local IPC dedicated server connection to the Oracle instance. This fails as the dedicated server cannot find the Oracle SGA (shared memory area) to attached to. This is usually the result of
a) the Oracle instance is down (and thus the SGA does not exist)
b) the ORACLE_SID used by the client is incorrect (and thus it attempts to attach to a non-existant SGA)
Reason (a) could be caused by some underlaying issue that results in the Oracle instance shutting down automatically or unintentionally.
As for what Oracle 10G requires operating system wise. There are detailed platform certification matrixes on the Oracle web site. In addition, the INSTALLATION notes of Oracle also specifies what platforms are supported.
You also fail to mention the exact Oracle product you're running. Oracle XE is different than Oracle Standard Edition which is different than Oracle Enterprise Edition.
There is btw a dedicated support forum here for Oracle XE - and this one ain't it.
