Starting an Stopping the db on Windows

Question

Hi,
for starting and stopping the db I found those two batch-files StartDB.bat und StopDB.bat.
StartDB.bat contains
net start OracleXETNSListener
net start OracleServiceXE
@oradim -startup -sid XE -starttype inst > nul 2>&1
And StopDB contains
net stop OracleServiceXE
I am aksing myself, why isn't the OracleXETNSListener process also stopped and isn't it necessary to shutdown the instance with something like
oradim -shutdown -sid xe?
Thanks in advance
Stefan

Answer 1

Hi,
Thanks you for your kindness and for www.XE.com :-)
I was (and perhaps not only me) annoyed by Oracle Net, for example during :
- Installing EM 10gR1 under AIX 5L, problems with the TNS_ADMIN variable of the oracle unix oracle account and
the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) does not prevent.
- Installing EM 10gR1 under Windows 2003 Server (recently), OUI prevents that one must invalidate the System variable TNS_ADMIN (Yes !)
- installing HTMLDB 1.5 under AIX 5L, problems with the TNS_ADMIN variable of the oracle unix oracle account and OUI does not prevent.
And how much among us were annoyed during the installation of XE by the TNS_ADMIN variable ? Many ! But the TNS_ADMIN variable is
essential to guarantee a "simple" administration.
For many years i try to make cohabit with Oracle products, it's my challenge and TNS_ADMIN is a key for that. Under Linux
or Unix, i fix the TNS_ADMIN in the profile of the "oracle" account and under Windows i fix a System variable because it exceeds those
from registry. Another challenge is to have "similar" scripts under Linux/Unix and Windows, and i think that we can isolate the
Windows service.
When I started to work with Oracle, i used the only listener LISTENER. Then having to work with multiple versions on the same server,
i used a dedicated listener for each database with the higher version (you are right !) but it was heavy to manage. Now,
i use a only one listener in the same version for all the database of this version (ORACLE_HOME), that appears more coherent to me.
I do not use for a long time any more the listener LISTENER who listens on the port 1521, a chance for me and XE :-)
at this time :
- i have a developpement server under AIX 5L with 8iR3, 9iR2, 10gR1 and TNS_ADMIN.
- i project to migrate our AIX 4.3 HACMP Cluster with 8iR3 to AIX 5.3 with 9iR2, 10gR1, 10gR2 and of course TNS_ADMIN.
- At this time, i work with a server under Windows 2003 with 9iR2, 10gR1, EM 10gR1, XE , 10gR2 and always TNS_ADMIN !
For the AIX HACMP cluster, i project :
- a listener ADMIN in version 10gR2 for all database, listening on port 1530. (For me ! :-)
- a listener LSNR_0920 in version 9iR2 for 9iR2 database, listening on port 1531.
- a listener LSNR_1010 in version 10gR1 for 10gR1 database, listening on port 1532.
- a listener LSNR_1020 in version 10gR2 for 10gR2 database, listening on port 1533.
What is extraordinary with Oracle, it is that one can make function several versions on a same machine ! It is a
little the beginning of a consolidation and facilitates the tests of migration.
With a server under Linux/Unix (for the oracle account) or Windows (System variable), i fix only :
- ORA_ADMIN, for example D:\admora or /admora
- TNS_ADMIN = %ORA_ADMIN%\gdba\tns or ${ORA_ADMIN}/gdba/tns
- SQLPATH = %ORA_ADMIN%\gdba\sql or ${ORA_ADMIN}/gdba/sql
- PATH = %ORA_ADMIN/gdba/shell;%PATH% or ${ORA_ADMIN}/gdba/shell:${PATH}
After, there are several scripts i use like "Sid.cmd" (or Sid under Linux/unix), to fix the environment of an instance.
What arrives when I launch "Sid.cmd XE"?
- it call an "env.base.XE.cmd" who fix the variables for the instance XE and call the "env.oracle.OXE10_2_0.cmd" script
- the "env.oracle.OXE10_2_0.cmd" call the "Clear.cmd" script to unset environment variable and only fix the ORACLE_HOME and the PATH.
- and then i have a "clear" prompt
it is perhaps confused but practical for me. I hope this help
