Oracle Startup/Shutdown with SQLPLUS and ORADIM in Windows...

I am a newbie to the Windows platform. SQLPLUS will not allow me to issue a STARTUP command. This is what I get when I attempt to SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE and subsequently issue a STARTUP MOUNT/NOMOUNT or any STARTUP command for that matter. The SHUTDOWN command works successfully but the subsequent startup fails with an ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor message.
D:\>set ORACLE_SID=NMPC00

When I look at the Windows service, it still reports 'Started' despite the fact that I shutdown the instance. What is the proper protocol for shutting down and starting up an Oracle instance in Windows. Do I have to coordinate these activities with the ORADIM -STARTUP / -SHUTDOWN commands?

I am also newbie to oracle and running into the similar problem when trying to start oracle database using windows command prompt and getting the below error:
Command prompt is being run as administrator on windows7 O/S
C:\ORACLE\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN>oradim -SHUTDOWN -SID O22BVGI -SHUTTYPE srvc,inst -SHUTMODE nornal
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
The reason behind this to do it is , I need a batch script for stopping and restarting the oracle database instance using a Pfile which will contain the initialization parameters.
Please can someone help!
sqlnet.ora is:
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES, ONAMES, HOSTNAME)

I had created an dll for message box and placed the .dll and .lib files in the d:\ of my system.
I get an error message when i run the app. The error is:

Can anybody please tell me where have i gone wrong....

I agree the leather look is horrible. It's just not a reflection of the cutting edge modern design we have all got to love over the years. If it has to be there at least give us a choice of looks.
There is a word for this (not that one) - skeuomorph. Wikipedia defines this as 'a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues to a structure that was necessary in the original. Skeuomorphs may be deliberately employed to make the new look comfortably old and familiar'.
Common examples are found in audio software with pictures of actual knobs that you turn, as here; and the leather-bound tear-off look of calendar and contacts on the iPad is the same principle: the intention is to make it familiar and friendly to people who might otherwise be frightened off by a modern look because they are not used to modern technology. The whole concept and look of the iOS operating system is being brought into use on Macs for the same reason, to encourage non-tech-savvy people not to be frightened of them.
This is all very well in its way, but in these two particular cases the result is unfortunate, particularly for experienced users, and it really ought to be possible to choose between the looks (as you can with the Mail layouts), even if the skeuomorph is the default.

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.
You may read this reference for further Enterprise Manager troubleshooting --> Enterprise Manager DB Control Console.

Here's a solution to Oracle Startup / Shutdown on RH6

I had a hard time getting Red Hat 6.0 to startup and shutdown
Oracle properly. Red Hat's slick rc scripts look cool, but hide
the problem unless you do some serious reading.
This script still isn't perfect, mainly because it can't
shutdown if oracle users are still logged in. This is a problem
with the dbshut scripts. I try to avoid hacking Oracle's bin
directory, but if you really want to go down, change the
shutdown lines to shutdown immediate. Oracle, please provide an
option to dbshut to fix this! :-)
My changes to the book version fix the following:
1. It creates a file /var/log/dbora to log the startup output to
give you some visibility after the fact.
2. Creating the /var/lock/subsys/dbora file after startup makes
the shutdown work. Otherwise rc won't even try. Deleting it
makes changes between run levels work right.
3. The startup is NOT backgrounded so that if you are watching
it boot you can at least gauge the time it takes before the
startup.
4. It starts the listener too.
5. It checks the log file for startup errors and makes the
screen say FAILED in red if it sees any errors.
5. It allows dbshut some time to finish before unmounting. My
dual xenon machine goes down do fast dbshut wouldn't finish
downing both of my sids.
# dbora -start/stop Oracle
#action
ORA_HOME=/home/oracle;export ORA_HOME
ORA_OWNER=oracle;export ORA_OWNER
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORA_HOME ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart" >
/var/log/dbora.log
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start" >>

sleep 15
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dbora
esac
if egrep -q "ORA-" /var/log/dbora.log; then
exit -1
else
exit 0
fi
Note that the links prescribed by the book are also incorrect.
Linux's rc levels do NOT run sequentially. Therefore, you need a
start and stop on the same level. If you want to save some RAM
on the serve by not running X, you'll want level 4 scripts and
level 5 scripts. So, Create all these links (as ROOT).
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/K10dbora
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S99dbora
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K10dbora
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/dbora /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99dbora
To be really safe also create these links. This way there is no
escaping a proper oracle shutdown.

It isn't necessary to create the symlinks for the rc scripts
manually--that's what the "chkconfig" command is for.

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

HA Oracle startup/shutdown question

Environment:
2 Sunfire V890's running solaris 2.9 and SC3.1U4
Hello All,
I am having a problem with oracle startup and shutdown in my cluster. In order to get oracle to startup after a failover, shutdown what have you, I need to implement the following procedure as a pre/post oracle startup operation/script. Can anyone tell me if there is a place or hook in the HAOracle agent where I can add my own operation? I would rather avoid having to write a GDS agent in order to do this, if it is at all possilble.
Thanks,
George Cebulka
PS
Please Note: (This is a DBA thing, not mine!)
************** Begin *********************
After a failover or startup we need following to avoid the �authentication error�
1. remove the sqlnet.ora soft link from $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
1. rm /global/oracle/oracledb/oraclev10201/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
2. Create a new soft link to sqlnet.ora in $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin as following
1. ln �s /global/pitt/dba/network/net8/sqlnet.ora /global/oracle/oracledb/oraclev10201/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
3. startup the database and listeners (using cluster database).
4. Now database is up and running and we need to turn on radius authentication for which we need this post stuff
5. Remove the sqlnet.ora link
1. rm /global/oracle/oracledb/oraclev10201/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
6. Create a new soft link to replace sqlnet.ora with radius sqlnet.ora
1. ln �s /global/pitt/dba/network/net8/sqlnet.ora.radius /global/oracle/oracledb/oraclev10201/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
*************** End ******************

You could also try the following:
Create two GDS agents, where you need to include the steps to disable the pmf action script, which I describe in a blog at
http://blogs.sun.com/TF/entry/disabling_pmf_action_script_with .
This is needed since your scripts will not leave a process running for PMF.
1. GDS resource (for this example I call it ora-prestart-rs):
Start_command: It will do the steps to implement the original sqlnet.ora file + the steps from the blog
Probe_command: /bin/true
Stop_command: not needed
2. GDS resource (for this example I call it ora-poststart-rs):
Start_command: It will do the steps to setup the link for the radius sqlnet.ora file + the steps from the blog
Probe_command: /bin/true
Stop_command: It will do the steps to re-implement the original sqlnet.ora file
Then you create the following resource dependencies (here I assume the name for the SUNW.oracle_server resource is ora-rs):
scrgadm -c -j ora-rs -y Resource_dependencies=ora-prestart-rs
scrgadm -c -j ora-poststart-rs -y Resource_dependencies=server-dwdd-rs
Maybe you need to setup the same dependencies to include the SUNW.oracle_listerner resource. You did not mention which of those is facing problems.
Of course, I never tried this. But this would enable you to use the HA Oracle agent unchanged.
Greets
Thorsten
PS: I forgot to also mention that you need to set the Restart_type extension property for the SUNW.oracle_server resource to RESOURCE_GROUP_RESTART:
scrgadm -c -j ora-rs -y Restart_type=RESOURCE_GROUP_RESTART
That way a triggered restart by ora-rs will allways force the RG to go through stop/start - and only then the link will get set back to the sqlnet.ora the SUNW.oracle_server needs to work correctly.
Note again - this is theory and needs proper testing.

Startup file with fill and stroke

in Illustrator CS on the Mac the default startup is fill white and stroke black at 1 pt.
I want to change it to fill none and stroke black at .5 pt.
How can I do this. Thanks

If indeed you are talking about CS (AI 11) then go to Applications>Adobe Illustrator>Presets>Startup-CMYK or RGB. Make an object with the desired characteristics and Option-drag the object to the default swatch (the left most one in the Swatches Palette). Save and restart AI. Open a new document and check the default. It should be as you want.

Automate BIP Startup/Shutdown with OMS

Is there any way to automate the startup/shutdown of BI Publisher when the OMS is started/stopped? This would really come in handy instead of manually having to start/stop these components.
Thanks,

Oracle Database at Novel Netware and D2K at Windows Machine

One of our clients are asking Combination of Oracle Database at Novel netware and Developer 2000 at Windows machine , please send us the comments whether the above combination is possible

Hello,
yes it is possible, we are having oracle 8.04 running on Netware 5.0 with Win98 clients using D2K.
However further versions of oracle e.g. 8i,9i etc are not available and never going to be available on netware.
hence we are migratiing to Win2K Adv server.
regards.

Migrate SBS 2003 with AD and Exchange to Windows Server 2012 Standard

We are using SBS 2003 and we have configured Exchange server and AD with DNS and DHCP. Now we are planning to move SBS 2003 to Separate servers like windows server 2012 standard AD with DNS and DHCP and Windows server 2012 Standard with Exchange
2010.
Is it Possible?? we need step by step guide.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You probably would not find any step by step guide for this kind of migrations. If you are not comfortable with doing such migrations I would recommend to if you need to do it your self do some test migrations. Or otherwise get help by a local IT company
that is familiar with migrations.
But to give you some information, first thing before starting a migration is check the health of your SBS 2003 server / domain. Use tools like dcdiag, netdiag and best practice analyzer. I wrote a blog post about steps to think about before you start this
might help: http://blog.ronnypot.nl/?p=914
When every thing is clean you can start adding the new windows server 2012 machines as member servers to your domain.
Next you can promote one of the servers to additional domain controller on your domain (Keep in mind SBS needs to hold all FSMO roles so moving these is the last step your should do.) Also promoting a windows server 2012 to domain controller has slightly
changed, you need to install the ADDS role and follow the wizard to promote the server to a DC.
With installation of the new DC install DNS allongsite it will automatic replicate settings during confiugration.
DHCP must be installed manual, depending on your scope and settings it might be as easy to create a new scope and disable the old dhcp server.
On the server Exchange needs to be installed, make sure you install and do all pre-requirements. Than install Exchange it will automaticly detect you already have an Exchange organization and is installed as additional server. You can configure all settings
and when everything is configured right you start moving mailboxes.
When everything is moved away from the SBS 2003 server, uninstall exchange, move the FSMO roles to the new DC and after that demote the sbs 2003 server so it is not listed anymore as an additional DC in the domain. Last would be shutdown the server and remove
all records left in AD and DNS.
There is this guide for migrating SBS 2003 to windows server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010, this might give you some usefull information, not everything will be the same but it is a good start:

Problem with Speaker and Headset in Windows Vista

Hi, I just got my Macbook Pro 13" and having problem with speaker and headset when working with Windows Vista (I have installed the driver from bootcamp). The sound very weak if I play music from Itunes or youtube even the volume already full and if i put my headset the sound not coming out. Is there anyone can help me to solve this problem?
Regards,Edwin

When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).

Syncing problem with AppleTV and HP w/ Windows Vista

Vital Stats:
HP Media Center PC
Windows Vista Home Premium
iTunes 7.6.2.9
AppleTV 40GB Software Version 2.0.2 Wireless DHCP
I have been trying to sync my Apple TV with iTunes and keep getting the error:
The Apple TV "Downstairs Apple TV" is not responding.
Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689.
I have done the obvious. I have checked the firewall software on my computer and have manually set the port as open and apparently when iTunes installs it also puts port information into the Windows Firewall. I have performed a factory reset on the Apple TV, reinstalled iTunes, checked my router and still it's a 'no go'.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Check your router for port forward/NAT rules that may involve ports 5353 and 3689, check that you haven't got the tv isolated at the router also.
Security software and file sharing applications may also be interfering with these ports take a look at any software on your PC that might be doing this.

Display: Iris Pro or nVidia - Can the base 15 inch GPU/CPU handle the two VMs at the same time plus the host OS (OSX) without hiccups?
Display: How does VMware Fusion recognize the discrete GPU - will the system be smooth/quiet without activating it?
Battery life: Virtualization is pretty heavy battery wise. Does anyone know what happens to the battery when you're running a couple VMs?
Display: How is running Windows 7/8 on a MacBook with a specifically retina display? Do the Windows PCs look really ugly/blurry due to such a high resolution?
What is the minimum hardware required for these VMs to run fast and responsive? (CPU/GPU/RAM only)
Thanks!!

Sorry - we're users here, just like you, and some questions just get lost sometimes.
The fastest hardware you can buy, the easier you'll be able to run Windows. If you use Boot Camp to run Windows (7, 8 or 8.1) the machine will run at it's best. If you want to run Windows alongside the Mac OS, you'll need to use a VM application (I use Parallels - I've tried VMwareFusion but like Parallels better and it just works best for me).
So, to your questions:
The Retina machine with the NVIDIA GPU will be the fastest - it's a faster processor and has more VRAM.
Any VM is going to use resources - how much RAM, for example, is up to you. I have 16 GB of RAM and 8GB dedicated to Parallels/Windows 7 Pro.
I wouldn't (and you really can't) run a VM for very long on battery. If you're using VM's, that's the time to plug into mains. Running a 'couple' of VM would put further heavy use on your GPU, CPU and shorten your battery life.
I would make sure to get a good, fast quad-core i7 processor, the 2GB of VRAM NVIDIA GPU and the maximum amount of RAM (16GB).
Good luck,
Clinton

Problems : Starting up with CDE and Opening terminal window in JDS

Hi
I installed Solaris 10 GA on the system having 2.8 GHz Dual Xeon processor with EM64T.
Installation process was fine and completed. But, I have two problems with CDE and JDS.
Firstly, in JDS, the graphical login comes up, works fine. After I login (as root or anyone), sometimes terminal window does not start up correctly. The windows for terminal apprear, but there is no display. Thus, I cannot use the terminal in JDS, while the other menus on launch panel (e.g. StarOffice) seem to work properly.
Secondly, in CDE, I can login, the hourglass pointer appears and changes to arrow pointer. But then, there are no items except only the pointer and wallpaper.
Both problems do not happen at every login time. when the problems happen, I have to reboot (in CDE/JDS) or re-login (in JDS). After some rebooting or re-login, things work fine again.
Can everybody help me?
Thanks

I am not Adobe staff, but I have never heard of an "online upgrade". When I purchased my CS6 upgrade from Adobe, they sent me an email with the serial.
Who did you go through to get this upgrade?

Oracle Startup/Shutdown with SQLPLUS and ORADIM in Windows...
