Unable to restart the database

Hi,
I just shutdown the database and it seems to take a while, don't know if it's stuck or just takes awhile. I try to restart it in another session and get this error:
'ORA-01012: not logged on'
Should I wait awhile or is there a solution? Thank you.
1) Shutdown
SQL> connect sys/Welcome1 as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown normal
2)
So I try to restart it as sysdba on another session and get this error
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-01012: not logged on

First which Os you are using
Try the following :
sqlplus / as sysdba
shutdown abort ;
startup ;
if the above not working Kill oracle process or Shut down database server (shutdown service before do that)We've seen no need for a shutdown abort. The oP was doing a normal shutdown, which was already pointed out, and will wait until connections voluntarily disconnect. Which will probably never happen. The previously suggested SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE is the better solution until a problem with that is demonstrated.

Hussein,
One thing which I noticed now is in the apps Tier the
tnsnames.ora under $TNS_ADMIN
shows entry like this:
PROD=
        (DESCRIPTION=
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsServerName>)(PORT=1521))
                (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<dbServer>)(PORT=1521))
            (CONNECT_DATA=
                (SID=PROD)
        )Actually *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsIPaddress>)(PORT=1521))* this line in the tnsnames.ora is not correct. In fact the appsServerName should be replaced with dbServerName
I deleted the tnsnames.ora and reran autoconfig but it is again recreating the same entry.
Any clue how this can be fixed?
Thanks

Unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service from command line - Win81 MS Office 2013 SP1

I'm unable to restart the Microsoft Software Protection Platform service on a Windows 8.1 laptop for MS Office 2013 SP1 (32-bit) using the following command:
cscript ospp.vbs /osppsvcrestart (issued from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office15)
When this is run, a window appears with the title ospp.vbs and the text "Error: The Software Protection Platform service is not installed"
I verified that the service is installed in services.msc, and was able to manually stop and restart the SPP service in the Services console without issue.
The command runs correctly when restarting the MS Office 2013 SPP on Windows 7 devices.
Has anyone else seen this or have a solution for it?
The reason that I am attempting to restart the service from the command line is because this command is part of a script to change the KMS server IP Address used by OSPP prior to software activation.
The only other options that I have at this time is to ask the users to reboot, or manually force a reboot. This is both time consuming and disruptive to the users.
The Fix It tool to remove MS Office 2013 was run, and the MS Office 2013 software was successfully reinstalled after a reboot. The software was successfully activated. When the command was run, it produced the same exact error.

Hi,
I am able to reproduce this on my own machine, but in my case, I don't see the specific service running in the Services console.
I would like first confirm that whether you've the right service running on your Windows 8.1 system. The display name of this service should be "Office Software Protection Platform", service name is "osppsvc".
You can also check this by going to below path where you should see the executable file (OSPPSVC.EXE) if the service is installed on your system (in my case, the folder is empty):
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform

Ethan Hua

Hi I have an iPhone 4 and suddenly it stopped working. Could here notifications and nothing on the diisplay. Wake up button on top is not working. so unable to restart the phone. Wanted to try restore from iTunes but Find my iPhone (iCloud) is on. How to recover or restart my Phone

Follow these steps to log into your iCloud account on your computer and deactivate "Find my iPhone" on your device:
Remove an iOS device or Mac on which you can’t turn off Find My iPhone
If you can’t turn off Find My iPhone on the device, turn off the device so it goes offline, then remove it from Find My iPhone on iCloud.com.
Note: You can also remove your iOS device by first erasing it—just follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you don’t have. You can later restore the device from an iCloud or iTunes backup.
Turn off the device you want to remove.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find on another computer with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, select the offline device, then click Remove from Account. If you don’t see Remove from Account, click All Devices again, then click the Delete button next to the device. If the device comes online again, it will reappear in Find My iPhone. If your device reappears, turn off Find My iPhone on the device (follow the instructions above for removing a device by turning off Find My iPhone), or if it’s an iOS device and you no longer have it, follow the instructions below for removing an iOS device you no longer have.
Remove an iOS device you no longer have
If you no longer have the iOS device because you gave it away or sold it, you need to remotely erase it before you can remove it.
Sign in to icloud.com/#find with your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud). If you’re using another iCloud app, click the app’s name at the top of the iCloud.com window, then click Find My iPhone.
Click All Devices, then select the device.
Click Erase [device], then enter your Apple ID password. Because the device isn’t lost, don’t enter a phone number or message.
Note: If you’re trying to erase a family member’s device, that person will need to enter his or her Apple ID password on this device. If the device is offline, the remote erase begins the next time it’s online. You’ll receive an email when the device is erased.
When the device is erased, click Remove from Account.All your content is erased, and someone else can now activate the device.
copied from: iCloud: Remove your device from Find My iPhone

I need to restart the database

Hi Guys,
I have migrated my database from oracle 9i to 10gR2 and from 32bit windows to 64bit RHEL4 using full database export and import. Everything works fine. We have got some performance enhancements also.
But one report generation module which was supposed to complete in 25 minutes takes 1-2 hrs. to complete. Most of the time we need to restart the database to complete the operation. After restarting the database it completes within 15 mintutes.
What may be cause of such behaviour, any idea? How should I proceed to resolve the issue? The cursor_sharing paramater is 'FORCE' which was same in our 9i setup also.
Regards,
Santosh

Hi,
>>After restarting the database it completes within 15 mintutes.
It seems this doesn't make sense. Did you gather statistics for the tables? In addition, take a look at AWR from OEM that contains performance statistics and workload information on the database that is captured every hour and preserved for seven days by default. In this case, historical information is important to diagnose a performance problem that has already happened
Cheers

HT4623 updated ipad mini last night with the ios 7.6 and now am unable to restart the pad, we have tried charging it completely and have had no luck in restarting it

updated ipad mini last night with the ios 7.6 and now am unable to restart the pad, we have tried charging it completely and have had no luck in restarting it

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

ORA-01102 unable to mount the database in exclisive mode

Hi !

Because your database is standby database, so you can not use startup mount,
try this

How do I restart apex without restarting the database?

As the title says... How do I restart apex without restarting the database?
For the second time in as many weeks apex 3.0.1(?) has stopped working while the database (10gR2) hasn't missed a beat.
How do I restart apex?
How do I get it to restart automatically on failure.
How do I receive failure notification messages.
How do I diagnose the cause of the failure.
We were looking at using apex in a production environment but the prospect of unplanned restarts of production databases every week is a little daunting.
Regards,
David

David,
>> We're not using oracle http server as it's a 64 bit version so yes the whole thing is running within the database.
1) So your Web server is the XDB HTTP protocol server and embedded PL/SQL gateway (basically, the database's embedded Web server)? Is this 11g? If so, what platform?
2) Are there any reported issues in the database alert log?
3) When you check the status of the database listener, does it show services running for this specific port (default 8080, I guess)?
4) If you normally go to http://server:port/apex, when this situation occurs, what happens when you try and go to http://server:port?

Saidin, We will need much more information than this to determine the problem you are having. Can you connect with SQL*Plus, Discoverer User or Admin Edition. Are you attempting to connect to Discoverer Viewer from the same or a different machine. There is a lot of good information in the readme file that can help...

Unable to launch the Database Configuration Assistant

I have installed Oracle 10g Database Release 1 and I cant launch the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). The file c:\oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1\bin\launch.exe does not exist on my computer.
My intent is to design a simple database in Oracle for an organization that uses Oracle extensively. I am running WinXP professional on my home computer. WinXP includes Microsoft IIS and I regularly test web-packaged files on this intranet server using the domain localhost. I downloaded Oracle 10g and installed it to the c:\ drive following the instructions in Chapter 2 of the tutorial Oracle 2-day DBA Course. I selected basic installation and standard edition.
I note that in the tutorial, the Oracle Home path has forward slants. The summary page of the Oracle installation wizard shows my installation with back slants. Do I need to install Oracle 10g to one of the directories in Microsoft IIS?
Nicholas

Install the Oracle database with the procedure in
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/2day_dba/install/install.htm
When you select the Install button, the Oracle universal installer displays the installation of the Database Configuration Assistant.
Uninstall the previous installation. To uninstall database 10g
1. Stop the oracle services Adminstrative Tools>Services.
2. Uninstall the installed products in Oracle Universal Installer.
3. In the Run field specify
Regedt32
In the Registry Editor select
SYSTEM>Current Control Set>Services
Remove the oracle services.
4. Restart and dlete the directories in the oracle installation directory.

Unable to open the database

I am not able to open the database: Following are the facts and things I have done so far
1)     database is in NONARCHIVE mode
2)     database backed up by using datafiles, controlfile, logfiles etc
3)     datafiles, controlfile and logfiles are out of sync because the time of disk back at night a cron job also update a datafile. So one particular datafile is out of sync.
4)     When we start the database following error comes
a.     ora-01207:file is more recent than controlfile - old controlfile Question1: Is it because i did a hot backup and whenever there is a write, the controlfile ...
5)     when we try use ‘alter database recover we get following
a.     ora-01157: connot identify/lock data file 21 – DBWR file
b.     ora-01110: data file 21 ‘…../…/../o2_mf_sys_undo_zvt7qxkf_.dbf
6)     http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa;jsessionid=8d92200830de9b3de878352a40c888bc8a2b521b29d5.e34QbhuKaxmMai0MaNeMb3eKaN90?messageID=1374408&#1374408
7)     So far I have tried
a.     RECOVER DATABASE UNTIL CANCEL & ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS – doesn’t work
b.     Alter database archivelog – doesn’t work
please let know if some had any solution

Do the following and you should be fine with your database.
The error indicates that oracle process cannot open more locks than allowed.
I assume you are on aix/unix environment
as oracle user run this command
#ulimit -a
and verify the settings. You may want to set all the setting to unlimited as below.
Some commands may not work depending on your OS, dont worry.
ulimit -t unlimited
ulimit -f unlimited
ulimit -d unlimited
ulimit -s unlimited
ulimit -m unlimited
ulimit -c unlimited
ulimit -n unlimited
ulimit -v unlimited
If still not resolved, ask you system adminitrator to check security setting for oracle user under /etc/security/limits.
Change the values for oracle user to -1 which means unlimited.
logout from oracle user session and login again, check ulimit -a. Start your instance and you are good now.
I have seen this issue many times on many system.
Good luck.
