Oracle8i DBA problem

while I use sqlplus, after I input the user name and password, a
error reported:
ora-01034 : oracle is not available.
Maybe this is because I had runned a program which consume lots
of system resources. But now the program is stopped.
Now what can I do to start the database? I can not use sqlplus to
startup database.
thanks for your help.

1 - Can you connect " / as dba " from the net?
You must connect as internal if Oracle is not available.
Check the authentication methods configured.
2 - check your alert_<SID> file for ORA-???? errors.
3 - Can you reproduce the error? Look for errors in you Trace
files / trace the sessions.
4 - If running a heavy process, are you sure you didn't run
out of VM.
5 - There is a specific list for Oracle 8i (maybe the linux
section) that might have more usefull info.
6 - Trace the session for this specific heavy process and
look for errors ( and hope it is not ORA-00600 ).
You can find the statement that caused the error in the
trace files ( if any errors happened ).
7 - If using WinNT you will need aconsole access to restart it.
With Unix, telnet will do it.
If a crach happened you may need to shut it down first
with the ABORT mode. Just to clean-up memory.
IF A CRASH HAPPENED:
- Unix - look for "ipcs -a" pending mem segments.
- NT - reboot, as always.
8 - Restart as usual.
9 - SQL*Plus is NOT the best tool for starting up/shutting it
down.
Good Luck!

Oracle8i Installation Problems with RedHat 6.1

Hi all,
The Oracle8i installation process for Linux has MUCH room for improvement. After retrieving the so-called "User Friendly Install of Oracle8i on RedHat 6.1", I followed the steps diligently and after extending my swap space, I managed to get the install to work - sort of.... the install of "Database Assistant" failed.. Help on this issue if appreciated. However, a solution to the next problem is much needed:
After exiting the installer, I go $ORACLE_HOME/install/utl and run the "linux.sh" script (as given in the guide). This script is not successful-it does not find a library "-ldl". Is this an Oracle library? Help! I cannot proceed with the installation until I can get this to work!

Take a closer look were it fails exactly.
The linux.sh mainly calls the MaKe files in different directories to link the products together. dl is a library which should be found in your PATH staement. Use ldconfig -p to see which lib-path are include in your ld-path. Make shure that you've included the ld_library_path statement in your root .profile.
Hope this helps a bit.

Manually install Oracle8i:DBMS_Standard problem,help!

I tried to manually install Oracle8.1.7 on Win2K, successfully created an instance and attempted to create a new database using command CREATE DATABASE, the newly creately database can be connected by INTERNAL. But I failed in running catproc.sql under SVRMGR, the main error messages are like 'DBMS_STANDARD package must be created before using SQL*Plus', and 'package STANDARD not accessible'.....could anyone tell me how to solve this problem?
great appreciation

by the way, i used command ORADIM -NEW -SID xxx -INTPWD xxx to create the new instance
and i did not use oracle assistant to create the new database, instead, I used command CREATE DATABASE xxx LOGFILE xxx CONTROLFILE xxxx.....
also i did set the ORACLE_SID to new SID.....

Oracle8i installation problem

Please help!
When installing Oracle8i on Windows98 and trying to connect to database, receiving an error: IPC protocol adapter not found... What is the adapter and where can I get one?
Thanks anyone who replies

I have the same problem to install client ver8.17 on the new
dell optiplex gx240 pentium4
Hi Everyone,
I got a problem to install Oracle8i with the following Operating
System:
1) Windows 2000 Professional
2) CPU P4 1.6G
3) Ram Bus: 256M
4) Hard drive: 30G
I don't know why i can't install with Oracle8i at all. Anyone
has any idea ??? I thought that Oracle8i did not support Pentium
4 at this time. Is it true ? Any discussions will be appriciated
consequently.
With regards,

Oracle8i Start problem - TNS:Service Name Incorrect

Hi Folks
My installation of Oracle8i was working fine. I installed webDB today and that was worked fine too.
But before shutting down the machine I forgot to shutdown the database.
When I reboot and try to start the database as root thus: ./oracle8i start, I get the following error -
ORA-12162 TNS:Service name is incorrectly specified.
Looks like something is wrong with SID or TNSNAMES.
Could somebody suggest a solution please.
Thanks.

For information sake, if someone else comes across the same situation, here is the cause and solution:
When webDB2.2 is installed it seems to make an entry in the /etc/oratab file for the service name that is provided during installation. Cosequently my 'oratab' file went from:
ora8i:/../oracle/product/8.1.6:Y
To:
*:/../oracle/product/8.1.6:Y
ora8i:/../oracle/product/webdb22:N
Hence the problem when 'oratab' is invoked.
I don't know if webDB is supposed to make this kind of a change.
I replaced the '*' with 'ora8i' and everything works fine including webDB

Oracle8i Install problem. - Cannot Create DB w/ DBAssist.

Help me!
I've tried to install 8i on redhat 6.0 with 2.2.5 kernel...
Jre worked.
Tcl worked.
runInstaller started without problem.
Netassist worked.
But! DBAssist was stucked...
At that time, Acount was 'oracle' of 'oinstall',
but dbassits said "JNLS Exception:" as usuall.
so I proceeded with "OK".
my choice was,
Create a database
Custom
OLTP
connection 5.
Dedicated server mode
off all other options ( 'cause it was first time )
sid = test0901
for all other options, I used default..
Create now...
However, that bloody DBASSIST said..
"ORA-01031 : Insufficient privilege"
Does it make sense? Manual says I shoul work on installation
with 'oracle' of 'oinstall' but DBASSIST said 'oracle' is lack
of privilege!.
so, I aborted dbassist and, I tried again as 'admin' of 'dba',
This time it said.
"DBCA-00047 : Unable to create destination directory.."
I've been spending almost 5 day with this lovely s/w....
Plz help me..T.T...
from Seoul Korea, Far East....

Make sure that the oracle user account belong to the dba group
when you create oracle user ID.

Oracle8 Install Problems on Redhat 5.1 PC

I just downloaded all the 805ship.* files & started the
installation with cat 805ship.* | tar -zv . The installation
quits in the middle & gives me an error. I dont have a clipping
of the error with me. I see that some of the directories have
been created under oracle. Am I missing something? Do I need to
install all the development RPMs before I do this? I've 32

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi!
I am encountering the same problem... Do you know what to do?
If you have time, could you please also let me know how the rest
of the installation go and what was the best support reference
that you've used.

Personal Oracle8 reinstallation problem

I've had Oracle8 Personal Edition installed on my Win'98. I uninstalled it, and tried installing it again from Oracle8 Enterprise Edition (Win NT) client onto Win'98. It copies all files over, and toward the end, it gives me a message of ORAINST caused an invalid page fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 0167:7801425c. Could you please help?
null

Hi Gina,
You did not mention the Oracle release version. The MSVCRT.DLL error might suggest you're using a release with a non Y2K compliant Oracle Installer (<33110).
Try to download a Y2K compliant one from metalink or try http://www.chow1.myweb.nl.
At that site you can find the ftp-oracle site

Oracle8i & Oracle9iAS problem

I have been having probelms installing 9iAS. On a completly clean NT Server machine I installed Oracle8i and created a DB. Tested it and it worked fine. I then installed 9iAS and used that DB for the Wireless repository (by the way can this option be turned off?). When the installation had completed an instance of SQL*Plus was started but it couldn't connect. It seems that installing 9iAS has corrupted the Oracle8i TNS listener as the service will not start? Before I reformat my machine and try again I was wondering if anyone had any ideas why this happened?????

dear sir,
have you really read the installation guide before you install the 9ias?
Do you know that oracle 8i and 9ias cannot share the same home? Because it will damage your existing network configuration and others common libraries?
What you need to do is, Install your 9ias into different home and re-configure 9ias network to access your database.
Don't change anything for services which contains word icache.
TQ.
Good luck.

Muhammad AliOkay I've haven't done 1z0-045 ... but I at one point I was considering 1z0-050 so I'm willing to share my views on an upgrade exam and exams in general.
Remember Oracle are trying to ensure that a DBA who was tested at 8i DBA OCP has nw
It depends on your definition of read the topics. If you mean literally just read the topics then that will result in a failure. If you mean study research practice and fully understand the topics that should lead to a pass.
Bear in mind that Oracle would expect a competent 8i DBA attending the 5 day training course Oracle Database 10g: New Features for Oracle8i DBAs [http://education.oracle.com/web_prod-plq-dad/plsql/show_desc.redirect?dc=D17389GC10&p_org_id=&lang=&source_call=] to be able pass the exam with perhaps 2 to 4 weeks further study, revision and practice.
Interestingly this particular exam has a relatively high pass mark (73%) ... one implication of that is that it is prudent to be comfortable with all topics.
Generally an upgrade exam will cover topics beyond that of the straight OCA/OCP exams. The questions will obviously be at OCP level.
It is possilble the Sybex book Oracle 10g New Features for Administrators Study Guide (Certification Study Guide) ISBN-13: 978-0782143553 which although for 1z0-040 may have some relevance for some of your topics. If you choose to purchase it that is your choice. (It seems to have good amazon reviews ... though all of these books can contain errors, it may or may not be updated for 10gR2, and some Sybex Oracle books are sometimes OTT in some areas IMHO, but that wouldn't stop me using one).

Log Groups/Log Files Oracle8i

Sorry for the basic question but I need clarification help.
The Oracle8i DBA Certification Exam Guide indicates:
1. You must have at least two Log Groups each with at least one Log File in each. For Recoverability you
must have more than one Log File in each Log Group (and obviously the same number in each Log Group).
2. LGWR writes to only one Log Group at a time. If more than one Log File is in the Log Group, LGWR will write to each at the same time. For recoverability it is advised that each Log File within a Log Group should
reside on a separate disk.
3. As the Log File fills, a Checkpoint occurs and LGWR will then begin writing to the next Log Group as
previously described.
PROBLEM:
My current DBA Instructor maintains the understanding above is incorrect. He maintains:
1. LGWR will write to the first Log File in each Log Group simultaneously (for recoverability).
2. As the first log file is filled, a Checkpoint occurs, and LGWR will write to the second (etc) Log File in
each Log Group.
3. All Log Files within one Log Group must reside on the same disk (Syntax problem if you don't).
4. Each Log Group should be placed on a different disk for recoverability.
Who is correct? Did I misunderstand the DBA Certification Exam Guide?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
When you take an online back including logs (which is the default option for online backups in 700 systems)
this means that a backup is taken and all the logs that are written to during the time of the backup are also inlcuded in the backup. this means that you have the backup image and the logs to enable a restore and rollforward through the logs to a consistent point in time. If you took an online backup without including the logs, you would need to ensure you have those logs from the time of that backup to be able to restore that image and rollforward to ensure consisntecny.
One mjor point, never ever delete or touch active log files from /db2/NMS/log_dir as this will result in the system becoming inconsistent due to the logging mechanism being interrupted. If such a case does occur, please contact support.
Regards,
Paul
