Starting database using PFILE

Hello, Gurus.
I am a newbie to Oracle. Need to modify the paramters for database, so the use of Pfile is required. But even the Pfile created by oracle is not working correctly.
Below shows the error messages:
SQL> create pfile='C:\responsefiles\oraclesetup\win\pfileoXXbg.ORA' from spfile;
File created.
Now when I am trying to use this file to start the instance, I am getting the error:
C:\Windows\system32>oradim -STARTUP -SID OXXBG -STARTTYPE inst -PFILE 'C:\responsefiles\oraclesetup\win\pfileoXXbg.ORA'
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
I have not modifed or put any comments in the above file, so could not understand the reason for error mesaages. I can start the instance without using PFILE option.
Any ideas are welcome.

Thanks for your reply...
Below is the content of my /etc/oratab file...
# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
# and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating
# a database.
# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates

# Entries are of the form:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME:<N|Y>:
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home

# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.

I wonder if the ORATAB file for 10.2 version is different form the one of 10.1...
Thanks a lot for your help

Check the db is using pfile ot sp file

i want to check whether my db is start up using pfile or spfile
thus i
show parameter pfile;
no value was shown
then i
show parameter spfile;
no value was shown here also
So am i right to say that oracle automatically use these files in the order:
spfileSID.ora
spfile.ora
initSID.ora
init.ora
cos when i try out,
show parameter db_create_file_dest;
there is a value i think is reflected from my spfile.
But i use SELECT DECODE(value, NULL, 'PFILE', 'SPFILE') "Init File Type"
FROM sys.v_$parameter WHERE name = 'spfile';
Init F
PFILE
at this point i am confuse... i dun whether is pfile or spfile now.

When instance is using PFILE, you cant see the name of the PFILE. You can check in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init<sid>.ora

hmmmm .... . so now i just change it to using the \database folder.

Hi JollyRoger
At first, I thought it was the command executed with the wrong user and redid the command being careful to be connected with the correct user.
Having the same result.
Following your suggestion, remove database with grid11g user and add with ora11g user. Same result.
I'm thinking of removing the Clustware and RDBMS installation and install infrastructure without patching. After this applying each patches and checking if the user changes.

Knwoing the database was started with which pfile/spfile

hello to everyone,
Actually, a question that crossed my mind and I wondered if it's possible in Oracle.
For an already started database, is there a way to know the database was started with which pfile/spfile? Is there a view that tells this for example.
Many thnx.
H Hiruya

If spfile parameter is null, then you can look for a
pfile with the name convention of
init<ORACLE_SID>.ora.Yes, you can, but that won't tell you anything about which pfile was used to start the instance. I can just as easily type:
startup pfile=/my/pfile/that/does/not/conform/to/any/naming/standard
There's no way to definitively determine which pfile was used to start an instance.

HI, Welcome to OTN form,
SHUTDOWN is not a SQL statement but a SQL*Plus command . You cannot use SHUTDOWN in PL/SQL.
Check following link:

HOW TO START MAKING DATABASE USING ORACLE SQL PLUS in 10g?

how will i create database using sql plus?
does the code of sql applicable to it..?
do i have to use the "create db <database name>", use and " create table also,.."
pls help me..
thanks

At dos prompt :
C:\>set ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba
you get connected as sys user. Don't use this connection to create your own objects, create users instead.... but it would be useful to read some documentation, for example Starting SQL*Plus and manuals mentioned there.

How to start to use Oracle client to access Database ?

Folks,
Hello. I have just installed Oracle Client into directory /home/myOracle/Oracle_Client. But I don't know how to start and configure the client to access Oracle Database.
Can any folk tell me how to start to use Oracle client to access Database ?

user13764998 wrote:
I have earlier managed to install the Oracle Client (32-bit) in 32-bit clients and servers Oracle Client 10.
The reason that it went well before was the exellent setup and configurationprograms we got with that version.It seems you are confusing the "full" Datbase Client with Instant Client.
Now I'm trying to install the Oracle Instant Client 11g R2 both 32-bit and 64 (of the latest revision) on a 64-bit Windows 2008 Server .
I have managed to install the driver but the setup doesn't give me any Net Configuration Assistant or Net Manager to help with the configuration.What setup? Are you not using just the zip files?
What are you installing exactly, i.e. what install media (file) did you download?
So I haven't succeded in configuring it despite I I read the readme-info that comes with the Instant Client files.There's not much to configure - that's sort of the point of Instant Client. Just drop a few files in a folder, set PATH and off you go.
Doesn't <instant client dir>\sqlplus user@'hostname/servicename' work?

Can not start the cluster database using srvctl

Created a RAC database with CRS.
When i start the cluster database with srvctl, it appears that the database is started (i made sure using srvctl status), but when i try to login to the database using sqlplus, i get a message 'connected to idle instance'. if i try to start the database from sqlplus, i get message 'requested INSTANCE_NUMBER is busy!.
any thoughts why i can not connect to the database using sqlplus after i start the database using srvctl?
I stop the database using srvctl and started using traditional sqlplus, it will start with out any problem.
what am i missing?

check ur oracle_sid,also try to connect as sqlplus sys/****@prod as sysdba
may be this is due to improper setting of init.ora file.
and post ur sqlplus output here.
Thanks

Starting / Stopping Databases using DGMGRL

Hi,
I was previously using Sqlplus to manage my Data Guard environment but I have not converted to using DGMGRL.
I was wanting to check ihow I start/stop my various databases using DGMGRL
For my primary I guess I use
DGMGRL> startup;
Q1. For my logical standby do I use
DGMGRL> startup;
Under sqlplus I then had to
alter database start logical standby apply immediate;
Q2. Do I still need to do this if the Broker is managing the standby ?
Q3. To shutdown the Logical Standby I guess I simply use
DGMGRL> shutdown;
Q4. For my Physical Standby I was using
startup nomount;
alter database mount standby database;
alter database recover managed standby database disconnect;
How does this translate into DGMGRL ?
Q5. To close the Physical Standby I was using
alter database recover managed standby database cancel;
shutdown;
Again how does this translate into DGMGRL ?
many thanks,
Jim

Cannot start RAC DB using srvctl start database

Hello Fellows,
We used to have a 10.1.0.4 RAC DB on top of CRS 10.1.0.4 on top of Sun cluster 3.1 on both Sun Solaris SPARC 64-bit 5.9 nodes.
We :
- Unregisted the current RAC DB from the 10.1.0.4 CRS.
- Removed the CRS 10.1.0.4 permanently and cleanly
- Installed a new Clusterware 10.2.0.1 and patched to 10.2.0.4 + patch 8705958.
- CRS servcies are healthy and up :
$ crs_status.sh
ora.tibisdb1.LISTENER_TIBISDB1.lsnr ONLINE ....etc for all other services
Now we are trying to upgrade the RAC DB from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.
When i started the DBUA it i chose the cluster mode and then DBUA tried to startup both DB instances but it failed. To reproduce this, i registed the databse TIBIS with the 2 instances to the CRS and then tried to startup the DB but it failed:
$ crs_status.sh

CRS-0215: Could not start resource 'ora.TIBIS.TIBIS2.inst
BTW, i can open the instances fine through SQLPLUS.
I did a full SRVCTL trace for the command and got the same errors above only.
I also followed also Note :Note : 814896.1
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
2. rename the original library (if exists)
mv libskgxp10.so libskgxp10.so.old
3. Relink to configure UDP for IPC
make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ipc_udp ioracle
4. Check whether the library exists
ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libskgxp10.so
Same result when try to SRVCTL START DATABASE -D TIBIS
RECENT CHANGES:
- Unregisted the current 10.1.0.4 RAC DB from the 10.1.0.4 CRS.
- Removed the CRS 10.1.0.4 permanently and cleanly
- Installed a new Clusterware 10.2.0.1 and patched to 10.2.0.4 + patch 8705958.
- Try to upgrade/register the 101 RAC DB to 10.2 .

Creation of Logical Standby Database Using RMAN ACTIVE DATABASE COMMAND

Hi All,
I am in confusion how to create logical standby database from primary database using rman active database command.
What i did:-
Create primary database on machine 1 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2
Create standby database on machine 2 on RHEL 5 With Oracle 11gR2 from primary using RMAN active database command
Trying to create logical standby database on machine 3 on RHEL 5 with Oracle 11gR2 using RMAN active database command from primary.
The point which confuse me is to start the logical standby in nomount mode on machine 3 with which pfile like i create the pfile for standby database do i need to create the pfile for logical standby db.
I done the creation of logical standby database by converting physical standby to logical standby database
I am following the below mentioned doc for the same:
Creating a physical and a logical standby database in a DR environment | Chen Guang&#039;s Blog
Kindly guide me how to work over the same or please provide me the steps of the same.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply
I already started the logical standby database with pfile in nomount mode. And successfully completed the duplication of database. by mentioning the DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT parameter.
But i am not able to receive the logs on the above mentioned blog i run the sql command to check the logs but getting "no rows selected"
My primary database pfile is:

Issue starting database

i am having trouble starting my database.
i run the following command
oradim80.exe -startup - sid SID -usrpwd PASSWORD starttype srvc,inst -pfile PFILE
this command executes with no error(or success) messages.
if i check the status of the database using oradim80.exe GUI it states that the service has been started but the instance has not.
any help??
go easy on me since i am a total novice at DBA work

CJS_TEST.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = <host_name>)(PORT = <port>))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID = cjst))
if i do "tnsping cjs_test" or "tnsping cjst" i get the same message for both
TNS Ping utility etc.
Copyright Oracle etc.
TNS-03505:Message 3505 not found
when setting the sid i use
set ORACLE_SID=cjst
and can confirm that this is set using echo %ORACLE_SID%
i am running all commands on the database server which is windows NT
