Starting oracle database

How can I start Oracle on my machine without manipulating the boot start scripts?
When I use "svrmgrl" and "STARTUP" I get the message the "oracle_sid" is not configured!?

export ORACLE_HOME=/path_to_your_OH
export ORACLE_SID=NAME OFYOUR_SID(default ORCL)
svrmgrl
connect internal
startup
exit
lsnrctl start

How to let SOA Suite automatically start Oracle Database services if necess

It occurs from time to time that I forget to start Oracle database services
before I start Soa Suite. Can I somehow let SOa Suite startup script check in advance
if Oracle database services need to be started (and start them automatically if necessary)?
Peter

Hi,
This is a familiar issue. I've come up with the following solutions.
1) On my linux machine, I start the database (EE) and soa suite at boot time using /etc/oratab.
2) On my windows machine, I start the database (XE) at boot time, as a service that automatically starts. The soa suite is started manually. I could start the suite automatically as a service also, but because it takes up so much memory and I do not always want to run the suite, I prefer to start manually. In any way, the database is started automatically before the soa suite.
Hope this will help you.
Kind regards,
H

How to start Oracle database in solaris Machine

I installed Oracle database in my solaris machine. Everything went fine .. I was able to install it and test the database if it's working or not.
Something happened that made me shut down and restart the solaris machine, the problem is that Oracle is not running, so I have to start it manually, and I'm not sure how to do that ... Is there a way to start Oracle automatically once the solaris machine is started ...
I'm using the SSH Secure Shell Client to configure and install everything into the solaris machine ..

Here is the work around for starting oracle instance automatically.
1) logon the system as root user.
2) under /etc/init.d/ directory, create a file name oraclestart(name the file to what you feel comfortable). eg: /etc/init.d/oraclestart.
with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
# Created by Henry Nguyen
# Date 10/11/2005
# Script to automatic start and stop oracle instances on server
ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 (diffrent on your system)
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart || ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut ]; then
echo missing oracle start/stop script
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start'
'stop')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut'
esac
3) create 2 soft link as following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc2.d/S99oraclestart
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc0.d/K10oraclestart
Note the S99 and K10: that are Solaris priorities to when start and stop an oracle instance and those letter must be capitalized.
Hope this will help you

How to Install emacs, openssh and start oracle database and get a connect?

As suggested by another poster, I installed the prebuilt appliance at [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/developer-vm/index.html] and [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads/index.html] with the intent of running oracle database in a linux vm as a guest on windows 7 and connecting to it using JDBC from the windows host.
This is running but I don't know how to install other stuff. I tried "sudo yum install openssh" and "sudo yum install emacs" and "sudo service sshd status" and none of these worked (it could not find these packages). I could not get apt-get or app-get or aptget to work either. I was hoping that "uname -a" would tell me if this was fedora or debian or something else but no luck. What command do I use to learn the distro name?
How do I make ifconfig tell me what the ip address so I can use "scp" and "ssh" to get into the box? Ok, /sbin/ifconfig works and I see there is only a loopback address. Ack! How do I create a socket so I can ssh into this little beastie?
How do I disable the firewall or (better yet) punch holes in it so I get use JDBC and ssh, scp and samba from windows 7?
I tried firing up the SQL Developer 3.1 and getting a test connection with username and password of "oracle" with no luck. How do I get a test connection to work?
How do I determine if the database is running? If not, how do I start it and stop it and restart it?
Thanks
Siegfried

There is no "oracle" account native to the database itself. This is just the default account that owns the application. Log on as oracle/oracle to the OS. (OEL) You can change the passwords of the sys and system account by setting your $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID. Default SID is orcl on a database install. Also set a path to the oracle binaries in the form of $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
Then sqlplus / as sysdba
Change passwords of sys and system using the following example.
ALTER USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY [password];
ALTER USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY [password];
The supplied appliance runs oracle enterpirse linux. Not debain or fedora.
Why do you need "emacs"?
I haven't personally load this appliance with Virtual Box but there has to be a readme file somewhere that details all the passwords and etc.

How to start oracle database server and client in windows 8

Hi at all
I'm a new entry in this forum and I'm a beginner with database oracle.
I used always SQL Server as database and it was easy to use after installation.
With SQL Server configuration management program I could to launch the SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) service and the database server start up!!
With SQL Server management studio I could to launch the client application, then was establishing a connection to the server and all was working fine!
Now, how to work with oracle database?
I installed oracle server and client version 11g R2 on windows 8, but how can I start the server database? .. and how can I start the client application for querying?
regards in advance.
P.S.: Sorry for my english.

SomeoneElse
thanks for the response.
I setting the service to start manually because otherwise windows is slow to startup.
In particular I have precisely this oracle service on my operating system after installation.
- ) OracleVssWriterSYSDBA
- ) OracleDBConsolesysdba
- ) OracleJobSchedulerSYSDBA
- ) OracleMTSRecoveryService
- ) OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent
- ) OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener
- ) OracleServiceSYSDBA
What are the services that start the server and I have to launch?
What is the client program in menu --> start -- > all program --> Oracle - OraClient 11g home..... that I have to use for querying database?
thanks.

Problem starting Oracle Database

I've just installed Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux Red Hat 5.2. I didn't
have problems during the installation, but after that ...
First of all, my "dbora" script doens't work. I don't know why,
because it's in the directory /etc/rc.d/init.d. Then, when I try
to start it manually, the follow mistake appear:
===
./dbora: [!: command not found
===
It seems that it is a sintaxe error, but I copied exactly as in
the Installation Guide, like as:
=======
# Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the ORACLE_HOME
# from which you wish to execute dbstart and
# dbshut
# Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORA_HOME
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.5
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORA_HOME]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle database:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle database:
su - $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut &
esac
su - oracle -c "lsnrctl start"
======
Is there any mistake?
Besides, when I try to start the Oracle Database, through the
command "dbstart", the following messages appear:
=============
Database "orac" possibly left running when system went down
(system crash?).

==============
Although it seems that the Database was started ('Database "orac"
warm started'), I don't know why the mistake ORA-01031 appears.
Was the Database "orac" started correctly?
After, when I try to use the Server Manager to connect to the
Database as system/manager, the following message appears:
========
SVRMGR> connect system/manager
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
=======
Has this mistake something to do with the first one (ORA-01031)?
Could someone help me? I'd be very grateful.

Dear Aaron,
It worked perfectly. Thank you very much!
However, I'm still having problem to connect to the Database. The
fact is that the dbora script calls the dbstart script ("su -
$ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &") and, inside this script,
we have the command "connect internal". At this point, I receive
the error message "ORA-01031: insufficient privileges".
I don't know if this has influency at the startup of the
Database, because at the end of the process I receive the message
"Database "orac" warm started".
But what I know is that I don't managed to connect to the
Database using the svrmgrl or the sqlplus. I receive the error
message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available" for every account I
try: system/manager, sys/change_on_install, oracle/xxxx (the
account I installed Oracle), and when I try "connect internal",
it asks me for a password!!!
Thanks once more,

Password to start Oracle Database 9i

Hi,
I have just downloaded and installed Oracle9i Personal Edition Release 1(9.0.1.1.0) for Windows 98. When I run the option Start Oracle 9i Database under Database Administration, it asks for a password. What is the password?
Thanks

Hey Melvyn, have u found any other response?
I have the same problem, but I haven't found any solution.
Other OTN Members thinks that we have problem with SQLPlus login... instead we can't START Oracle because when we click on the specified menu voice "START ORACLE ETC...", a dialog appears requesting ONLY a password...
We haven't set any password during installation step and any other KNOWN PWD is good.
mmm it is a big mistery

Problem in starting oracle database

i have currently installed oracle express edition 11g ,it installed successfully but now when i trying to start it from the shortcut on my desktop it is giving message
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:8080 how can i solve this problem
my OS is windows xp SP3 plz help

Hi,
I think the installation went wrong somehow (XP pro is supported, XP not but you probably can get it working too ).
You could try the action again but first manually set the ORACLE_SID by typing :
SET ORACLE_SID=XE
and then try to start it up again with :
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup
If this still fails you could check C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\diag\rdbms\xe\xe\trace\alert_xe.log to see if any extra information is logged at the end of the file about the ORA-01041

Oracle database does not start timezone mismatch

Hi
I am new on oracle database. My server has restart and now when I try to start oracle database I get this error can anyone help to come out this error.
oracle@host [~]# /home/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/emctl start dbconsole
TZ set to US/Michigan
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.1.0

/home/u01/app/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/database/sysman/config/emd.properties
does not match the current environment TZ setting(US/Michigan).
The dbconsole cannot run with this mismatch.
If US/Michigan is the correct timezone, set your timezone environment variable to US/Michigan and repeat the 'emctl start dbconsole' operation.
If US/Michigan is not the correct timezone, make sure that the timezone in your environment is correct, and then run the following command in your local Oracle Home: 'emctl resetTZ agent'
The output of this command will include detailed instructions to follow, to correct the mismatch.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user6550464 on Mar 29, 2009 11:46 PM

And now You see the reason for error message.
emctl thinks that time zone is US/Michigan (its from emd.properties file)
but on linux timezone is set to Asia/Calcutta
Yoiu should understand which one timezone is correct. If it's US - then talk with server sysadmin, he will set correct one timezone on linux.
If correct one is on linux - then follow metalink note how to change timezone for agent.
If none of them are correct, then You will have to follow both steps.
