hi Raghu,
follow the steps:
1.stop all the services - make sure that no services running
2.start the listener
3.open your alert<SID>log.ora file to see the ongoing changes to file
4.logon with user who has oracle/dba credentials
5.start the database in parts .....
6.at SQL>startup nomount .. then
7.SQL>alter database mount ... see what is writing to logfile
8.SQL>alter database open.... see the alertlogfile for errors - FIX yourself or send it to forum if u need help.
9.If you are able to make database up& running then your sap should start without issues.
