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.

Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g

Hi,
Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g.
Please help

Yes as already said, using DBNEWID Utility can renamed the database name.
You can also take a look at the Oracle Metalink Note:429674.1 (Which was written by me) - Subject: How We Used the Oracle DBNEWID Utility to Change the Database Name

Do I need start the database before installing Oracle 9iAS portal?

I found the Oracle white paper which talks about installing
Oracle8i EE and Oracle 9iAS portal on windows 2000. Based this
document, after Oracle 8i installaion but before installing
Oracle 8.1.7.1.1 path, all the Oracle database related services
startup type have been changed to 'Manual'.
Based on my understanding, there are some objects will be
created in this database during the installation of 9iAS portal
repository. But this oracle white paper didn't say that I need
have the database ruuning during the 9iAS installation. Do I
need to start the database before installing 9iAS?
Thanks

hi,
Even i am new to oracle application server and had the same doubt that you have.
When you install Application Server there would be two tiers installed, application tier and middle tier, these tiers can be running from the same machine or different machines.
These tiers will have a meta data repository to store application server related data, this database will be installed along with application server.
It is upto you to install "oracle database 10gR2 " before or after installaion of application server, this will be an independent database which will have its own home, but after this installation you will have three homes, ex: infra_home,mid_home and 10gR2_home.
by default oracle_home is set to the last installation that happens so if you install the database 10gR2 after installing application server it will point to 10gR2_home, but if you install 10gR2 before and application server later then the oracle home will be infra_home(if both the middle tier and infratier are on the same machine)
you can always change the oracle home by using set ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home( in windows)
or export ORACLE_HOME=path/to/oracle/home (in unix)
hope this helps....

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;

Not able to create a database link using the database gateway of oracle 11g

HI,
While trying to create a database link to SQL server from Oracle ,using the database gateway provided with 11g, i am getting the following error while making use of it in selecting columns from tables :
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from test1@dblink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
These are the steps i have followed for setting up:
1.Ran the set up for the Database gateway.and mentioned the SQL server name and database .ALos set up a listener.
2. Added the following in the Listener.ora of Oraclehome 11/NETWORK/ADMIN:
LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST =localhost) (PORT = 1541)
SID_LIST_LISTENER_SQL_FCD =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=dg4msql)
(ORACLE_HOME= D:\app\20537\product\11.1.0\db_3)
(PROGRAM=dg4msql)
3.Added the following in tnsnames.ora inOracle home/NETWORK/ADMIN:
dg4msql=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1541))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=dg4msql))
(HS=OK)
4. Following is the entry in initdg4msql.ora in C:\product\11.1.0\tg_5\dg4msql\admin:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO=10.148.45.242:1433//SalesDemo
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL=DEBUG
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_ACCOUNT=RECOVER
HS_FDS_RECOVERY_PWD=RECOVER
5. Created the database link :
create database link dblink
connect to "sa" identified by "<pswd>"
using 'dg4msql'
On running :select * from test1@dblink i get the following error:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from test1@dblink
Error at Command Line:1 Column:20
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-28513: internal error in heterogeneous remote agent
ORA-02063: preceding line from DBLINK
Is there any issue with the set or definition that I get the above error?

What is the version of the Oracle database in which you have specified/and use the database link?
If it is for example 10.2.0.3.0 you need to apply the mandatory patch for RDBMS bug 5965763 first before being able to use an 11g gateway. Have a look at MetaLink note 457808.1 for details about this patch.

Ed

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.

[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.

You need to statically configure your database with the listener. See this example :
[oracle@linux5_10 admin]$ cat listener.ora
LISTENER =

    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))

Don't start up the Database

I have a personal Oracle Database for practice the Developer (Forms and Reports) and when I start the computer the database start, but now it doesn't wants start. When I try to start, it give that error ORA-01033. I don't know what I do. I can't start sql anything. Somebody help me.
Joa

There are three options
1)Use command prompt and sqlplus
c:> sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect "sys/<password> as sysdba"
SQL> shutdown abort
SQL> startup
The password used while creating the password file can be used here.
2) Using service manager remove all oracle services. Using task manager click on "end task" for oracle.exe process.
3) Restart the windows machine.

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.

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 ?

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?"
