Problem in starting up the database

Hi,
I have fixed the sysdate then changed it to fixed=none..and after that when we get down the database for backup it not getting up...we r using th pfile only and when i am trying wth startup pfile option it is showing like
LRM-00101 - unknown parameter name 'oracle home'
LRM-00101 - unknown parameter name 'context file'
LRM-00116 - syntex error at '>' follwoing 'Hp UX'
ORA-01078-failure in processing system parameters.
Kindly guide me the solution
Thanks.

Your spfile seems to be corrupted. You didn't use an editor (eg "vi") to edit it did you ? The spfile is a binary file and should be manipulated ONLY through ALTER SYSTEM commands.
Do you have a backup of it ? Or a pfile backup ?

  • Starting up the database( Solaris 9 Oracle 9i)

    Hi Gurus,
    I've got a database that has 2 instances running on it. I had shutdown the database for some maintancance but now the problem is that after I startup I then checked this:
    ps -ef |grep pmon it returns only 1
    ora902 24138 24116 0 07:51:50 pts/2 0:00 grep pmon
    ora902 1679 1 0 Dec 08 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_pll01
    whereas it should return 2
    ora902 24138 24116 0 07:51:50 pts/2 0:00 grep pmon
    ora902 1679 1 0 Dec 08 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_pll01
    ora902 2444 1 0 Dec 08 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_DEATDB01
    How do I start this one:
    ora902 2444 1 0 Dec 08 ? 0:00 ora_pmon_DEATDB01
    Thank you.

    The second database apparently didn't start.
    As you don't disclose your startup procedures, only generic advice is possible.
    If you don't use the Oracle provided dbstart (which you should) start up the database manually.
    If you do use dbstart, check the oratab to see whether the database starts up automatically.
    If it should start up automatically, check the alert log why it didn't start.
    Newdba's should read documentation and do not jump to this forum straightaway.
    Learning Oracle should be done by using the documentation, instead of asking volunteers to abstract it.

  • Takes more time to start & shutdown the database

    Hi All,
    I have created a database in oracle9i by following manual steps. Every thing was created successfully and am able to start the database and shutdown also.
    but the problem is while giving the startup command it takes more time to start the database and the same during the shutdown. So anyone help me..
    the follwing are the pfile specifications:
    db_name=practice
    instance_name=practice
    control_files= 'E:\practice\control\control1.ctl',
              'D:\practice\control\control2.ctl'
    db_block_size=2048
    db_cache_size=20m
    shared_pool_size=20m
    background_dump_dest='E:\practice\bdump'
    user_dump_dest='E:\practice\udump'
    Thanks in Advance

    Every thing was created successfully and am able to start the database and > shutdown also.Please restate the above.
    problem is while giving the startup command it takes more time to start the >database and the same during the shutdownHow have you compared? Could it be O/S resources, installation of additional software; you have not mentioned the O/S and complete version of your database.
    You can review the following although I am bit unclear;

    pls sugest me the solution to open with scott and system.SCOTT and SYSTEM do not "open" or "start" the database/instance. Besides, it is already started and open. You are not haveing a problem opening the database, you are having a problem connecting with certain accounts.
    Solution: for SYSTEM, change the password to something you can remember; for SCOTT, unlock the account.

  • Aperture crash when start and the database is damaged

    Hello
    I have been playing around with a trial of Aperture
    My mac crashed when i was importing a big library -my fault, because the hot-
    After that Aperture has not been able to start, until i have deleted the database -moved to a different location-
    Is this the normal behaviour when the database is broken?
    Would be nice if Aperture was able to "keep alive" even when the photo database library was broken
    Something like "Sorry it seems the library has a problem, do you want to create a new one or choose one that actually exists?"

  • Now that I've installed Yosemite, my computer keeps telling me that iPhoto needs to be upgraded.  When it starts "upgrading the database", it gets almost to the end of the progress bar, then sits and spins.  It  won't finish.

    My computer is an iMac that was made in late 2009, and was purchased by me in 2010.  It has a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor.  I have more than 800 GB of storage available.  Last week I installed the Yosemite OS.  I'm having trouble with the upgrading of iPhoto.  When it says it's upgrading the database, it never finishes.  I've started the process a few times, and the progress line always gets to the same place when it sits and spins for hours at a time without any more progress.  I thought about putting some of my 10,000 + pictures on discs to see if that would help, but I can't open iPhoto to get at them.  Would that help, anyway?  My son thinks this computer is too old to accept all updates.  The hard drive was replaced 2 years ago.
    Thanks for any help.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Horrible problem that started with the 10.5.3 update.

    First I'd like to say Hi, because I'm new here.
    Here's my problem. I installed the 10.5.3 update about a week ago, the computer wouldn't make it past the gray screen with the Apple and gear on it. After reading through countless discussions on here, I realized my only option was an archive and reinstall. Which I did. I backed up all my important files, reformatted the volume and everything was fine.
    The only problem I noticed after the format was the fact that there were weird files appearing in my trash bin, which I read about, and I thought was pretty much nothing of importance. I then proceeded to update to 10.5.3.
    So a week goes by, I try waking up my computer from sleep, and it won't. After about 10 minutes I do a hard restart, and I get a folder with a question mark.
    Hardware test turned out with no errors.
    So I do a repair on the disc using my Leopard install disc, tons of errors pop up, the hard drive is showing up as unmountable, it can't repair any of the problems. At this point I think it's best to format my entire drive, Windows Partition and all. The only problem is, there's one set of important files left on my computer. I want to get them off. A TDM start only shows my Windows partition on the other computer. And I can't mount the disc.
    Am I at a dead end? I mean if I HAVE to lose the files, it's not going to be too much of a deal, however I want to know now if there is some chance I can possibly salvage them.
    The partition shows up on restarts, when I choose to start it, I get the "Gray Screen of Death" after about 30 seconds.
    Also, is there any fix to this problem?
    Thank you in advance.

    Well, I am not a specialist, but, first, archive and install does not mean you have to reformat the drive. It just puts aside the last system.
    Now, if you have or borrow a second Mac, you could link them with a Firewire cable and start your scrambled Mac in slave mode, to try to access the drive from the other system (either from the Finder or any kind of repair utilitiy, then with a software of backup/restore or directly from the Finder) and then repair it just enough to get the files back. Or if you have a external drive, try to install any system there and launch from there, then do the same as above.
    At the end of the day, if there is no way to access the internal hard drive, then yes, cry and reformat the whole...

  • [Solved]Starting up the database

    Hi Gurus,
    I have installed Oracle 10g Release2 in my Windows XP machine.
    I created 2 databases A and B.
    Now I would like to start the database manually.
    I set the ORACLE_SID=A. If I want to use the OS authentication I can go with
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect / as sysdba.
    Now I get connected to an ideal instance and it goes good from there. But if I want to use the encrypted File autherntication (connecting from remote machine) what should I do while connecting?
    Thanks in advance.

    First suggestion, post your db version and o/s. The error basically means that you don't have privs to do what ever you trying to do. Are you really sure that you are using a correct password. Try recreating the password file and use a new password stored in it.
