What is restarting my ora processes after a crash ?

Hey,
my standby database crashed from time to time.
It looks like an fragmentation error in the SHARED_POOL_SIZE parameter. ORA-04031 comes up.
But my questions is:
At 03:15 a backup job via RMAN is starting.
Looks like that RMAN is responsible for this crash.
But at soon as RMAN recon that oracle is not available, all oracle processes are restarted.
BUT HOW DOES THE RESTART ?
Then the next question.
After the crash, mrp is not restarted by this 'automatic' process.
Could it be, that RMAN sets the database in backup mode - disables mrp - crashes - and the last status was, that mrp was not active ? So the redoApply is starting again ?

Let me guess: You have a RAC standby database but you maintain it without Data Guard Broker. The clusterware on the node (precisely: crsd background process, belonging to the clusterware) where the instance crashed restarts the instance. Because there is no DMON (no Data Guard Broker configured), the MRP is not started automatically. Suggestion: Use also Data Guard Broker.

  • Icloud photo library restarting entire upload process after process is complete

    Recently turned on ICloud Photo Library, and everything transferred fine from my three devices (two iphones and rMBP), it took about a a week to upload everything (I have 22,000 photos, about 60 gb). The process basically merged my entire photo library from three separate devices. However, i discovered this morning that one of my iphones appears to be 'restarting' the upload process, and is trying to upload the entire content of its library, about 22,000 photos. This includes photos that were not in the iphone 6 originally, including photos from my Mac that was downloaded from the iCloud Photo Library.
    Anyone encountered this problem before? My concern is that it will reupload everything resulting in 44,000 photos in my icloud library or at least duplicate some of the existing photos in the icloud photo library.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ah, one thing I forgot. Despite the fact that I let my Mac running since two weeks to get my Library online, the Photos App NEVER did an update FROM the icloud library. I added some Photos through Ipad and Iphone, but they never appeared in my Photos Library.
    It is such a mess I tried to cry, but I cried enough when Mobile Me was around...

  • Can not restart server0 in portal after a crash

    Hello
    I have Netweaver 7.1 installed. Yesterday as I tried to create an IView
    Obviously the portal broke down. In the MMC console I saw that
    the server0 was off but the server1 was still running.
    I stopped and restarted in MMC console the NWeaver. Unfortunately
    Only the server1 is running. Server0 treys running but after some minutes
    goes off again!
    Although I tried it today again, the log entries are only from yesterday under :

    Hello,
    Do look into the following:
    1) Validity of License (Permanent or Temporary)
    2) Memory Settings of your JAVA Stack
    3) Firewall Settings that would prevent your server to access ports like (3906/39NN --) <- Though this is kind of unlikely on your scenario since you were able to jump start it for a while.
    So, that said, do check on #1 and #2 first.
    For JVM settings, check this note:

    If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:
    Product updates
    After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.

  • DB nonresponsive with ORA-12514 after weeks of running fine

    I have seen many prior users complain about getting ORA-12514 after a reboot after installation, and looking at the suggestions, I couldn't find anything addressed a situation where the whole system works for a long period of time and then stops working.
    I have a working APEX installation that I can access over the web from remote clients
    I have a working JDBC connection that I can use from several remote clients.
    After several weeks/months of happily running, I no longer can access the apex website, and I can no longer access the db through the JDBC connection getting:
    ORA-12514, TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
    descriptor
    The Connection descriptor used by the client was:
    //###.###.###.###:1521/XE
    Going to look at Windows services, both OracleServiceXE and OracleXETNSListener are still running. To try and recover, I do the following:
    * Stop the db and start the db. (Which simply stops OracleServiceXE, and then starts both it and the listener)
    Doesn't fix it
    * Thinking that the listener might be the problem, I then stop the db, and also manually stop the listener. I then start both of the services
    Doesn't fix it
    * I reboot the computer
    Fixes it.
    What is different about rebooting the computer that could possibly fix this? Also, someone had suggested in another thread to look at the listener log in db_1/network/admin/listener.log. I don't know what db_1 is, but I have a oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\NETWORK\ADMIN directory that does not have this log. If anyone has any insight into what this is, or what log I should look at to identify it, I would be greatly appreciative.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    Thanks!
    Ah, the alert log, that is a useful find. For those who don't know, you can find where the alert log is stored by doing the following:
    select value from v$parameter where name = 'background_dump_dest';
    I looked at the alert log, and i think it indicates that the process is running out of memory. Since it can run for a very long time without this, I'm assuming it's some kind of memory leak. Especially since I think the less I develop pages with APEX, the longer the system goes between crashing (That is only anecdotal). I looked at the .trc files that it spit out as well, but they seem to have internal stack traces and dumps. Where do I go from here? Is this something I post to an Oracle bug list? Below is the relevant section of the alert log:

  • Spawning another java process after System.exit(0);

    Hi everyone
    I have an application that Im trying to test. Unfortunately one of these tests requires me to spawn another java process after a System.exit(0); has executed. Since this exits the VM its proving very difficult. Does anyone know of a way to restart the VM after the System.exit has run?
    Thanks

    Hi everyone
    I have an application that Im trying to test.
    Unfortunately one of these tests requires me to spawn
    another java process after a System.exit(0); has
    executed. Since this exits the VM its proving very
    difficult. Does anyone know of a way to restart the VM
    after the System.exit has run?Exactly what do you want to do?
    If the application is supposed to only have one exit point then add a security manager and disallow all the other exit points. Then you can use Runtime.exec() to start the second application just before the real exit point.
    However note that if there are other calls to System.exit in the application then it is very likely that this will cause some unexpected failures in terms of security exceptions.
    You could also use Runtime.addShutdownHook() which would run your second app. The hook would be called as the application exits.
    You might want to consider what happens if someone just kills the application (say with 'kill -9' or the windows task manager.) In either of those cases there is nothing that you can do in java to make that second application run.
    You might also want to consider why you are doing this in the first place. As suggested a script solution is probably a better solution.

  • Unable to Restart EPM Architecht Process Manager

    Hi.
    It's the second time i have this problem.
    I can't restart EPM Architect Process manager because this message block the start of the service :
    The Hyperion S9 EPM Architect Process Manager service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example the Performance Log and Alert Services.
    Obviously the same error appears if i try to start S9 EPM Engine Manage, S9 EPM Event Manager and S9 EPM Job Manager.
    The first time i had this problem, a consultant of Hyperion from Manchester was unable to solve the problem after a remote connession on my server.
    He suggested to reinstall Planning.
    But now I can't reinstall it because i lose all!
    Could you help me?
    Thanks
    Bye Bye

  • What's in the JVM Process's Memory Space?

    Hello
    I'm noticing the following behavior on an NT system. On
    application startup, I see
    Total Heap 9 MB
    Used Heap 5.5 MB
    java.exe memory (from NT Task Manager) 36 MB
    After a "login" operation which loads a few more
    classes:
    Total Heap 12.5 MB
    Used Heap 8.2 MB
    java.exe memory (from NT Task Manager) 53 MB
    Heap memory leaks have been ruthlessly suppressed
    (thanks to OptimizeIt and careful programming). The
    behavior I do not understand is that the NT process
    (java.exe) increased in size by 17 MB when the Java
    heap increased by only 3 MB. The .jar file in which the
    application resides is less than 1 MB, so this 14 MB
    growth can not be attributed to new classes being
    loaded.
    Does anyone know what is going into the process
    memory space of java.exe? It tends to grow larger
    and larger.
    Should I even care? Do I want a large allocation of
    process memory for java.exe, or will that hamper
    performance of machines with less physical memory?
    Posts on related topics in this forum have sometimes
    advocated allocating a lot of memory to the JVM with
    -X options.
    Thanks

    Hello
    I am facing exactly the same problem on NT. However, on 2000 Server this problem doesn't seem to exist. Are you, by any chance, using JNI? We are extensively using JNI in our Servlets and found that there is definitely some momory leak there. We could not figure out any substantial leak at Java end. In NT's "Task Manager" java.exe is always listed first and very rarely the memory usage seems to come down. On 2000 Server the performance is far better.

  • Execute a DML process after user selects a column link in a report

    APEX 3.2 / RDBMS 10GR2
    I have written a non IRR report that displays several rows of data. The first column of each row has a defined column link uniquely identifying the row. When a user selects one of the rows via the column link, a "hi fidelity" report is generated for that displayed row using a (RTF) report layout created in the shared components section of APEX.
    This is working well but I also need to execute a DML process after the user selects a row but prior to displaying the hi fidelity report using the selected column link value of the displayed row.
    As a URL is used to call hi fidelity report via the column link, it does not appear that the process section of the APEX page component is available to execute the DML prior to displaying the report.
    Any ideas on where to define the DML process?
    Thanks in advance.
    Barry D

    Hi Barry,
    Not knowing exactly what your URL calls, this is what I do for PL/SQL procedures that create HTML output:
    Create a blank page with no template and call the procedure inside a PL/SQL region with no template.
    Alternatively, if your URL opens in a new window:
    run some javascript for your link and pass a unique request through.
    The javascript needs to find the ApEx form, update it's target attribute and submit it with the unique request, then set the target back to blank.
    The form will submit into a new window.
    You can then have a process and branch allocated to this unique request to do what you want.
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Forte 30N2 : Message duration SO restart after a crash issue

    In our application, the batch processes are based on a 'Controller-Processor' pattern. A controller starts many processor tasks as parallel processes.
    The problem is that our Controller process crashed. However, by that time, many processor processes had already been started by it. These processor tasks were not terminated when the controller crashed.
    Since the controller process is of Message Duration, it 'restarted' automatically after the crash. With this new start, all the processor tasks were started again and therefore were executed twice.
    Now we are looking for a way to terminate the processors automatically if the controller crashes. Is there a way to do this in Forte or do we have to code this explicitly ?
    If not, we can stop start of a processor if it is already executing. But then, how do we get a notification of completion of a previous execution ?
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Please let me know if the problem description is not clear.
    Thanks and regards.
    Deepak

    "Since the controller process is of Message Duration, it 'restarted' automatically after the crash" --NO,  the controller was re-started automatically because Forte allways tries to re-execute the method of a SO marked to have Dialog Duration=Message. Apart of that, the SO will be re-started ONLY if the Forte Autostart feature has been enbled in your Forte Environment, otherwise it won't re-start.
    Your problem is more an architectural issue than a Forte one. The children tasks can not notify their parent about a problem (ussually by reporting an exception event) because they were started in a different partition and Forte have partition boundaries when handling the multi-threading for tasks executed in cascade. (Task1-->Task2-->Task3).
    Even if your children tasks can report an exception event to the parent SO, there is still a timming issue: While re-starting the controller a children task can report an exception event, but it wont be listened since the controller is still re-starting.
    Hope this helps..

If you click edit - a normal movie download has a circle that appears on the left hand side that allows you to select and delete ... these movies don't have that option so you need to find the movie in you list (under movies) and select the download cloud symbol again to stop it downloading ...you may need to do this a number of times before it stops for a while ... or until you try to download a movie then it starts all over again.
    i have logged out of my itunes account. restarted the iPad, removed all movies, restarted the iPad, logged back into my iTunes account and restarted my iPad .... but as soon as I tried to download a single movies ... the other movies started appearing in the downloads again.

  • Hi, after that crash of my MacBook Pro I download again Lightroom 5 with my license serial number removed , but the system say that my number is wrong, but is not. What shall I do???, thanks

    Hi, after that crash of my MacBook Pro I download again Lightroom 5 with my license 1160-4006-5882-6826-4588-7623, but the system say that my number is wrong, but is not. What shall I do???, thanks

    You probably downloaded the Lightroom Creative Cloud version. Your Perpetual License key will not work.
    Uninstall the existing version of Lightroom, this process will not affect your Catalog, Preferences or personal files.
    Then download the correct version from the link below, install and enter the license. Every thing should be just fine. (Also by displaying your License Key for all to see anyone can use it to have a free copy of the program)

  • RMAN DUPLICATE and Restarting dead background process

    Hi,
    Has anyone come across the problem in 10.2.0.3 where there are continuous errors in the alert log :
    Restarting dead background process QMN0
    QMN0 started with pid=9?
    I see this is a bug in Oracle 9 but was supposed to be fixed by 10. I have tried the solution for the Oracle 9 bug : ALTER SYSTEM SET aq_tm_processes=1; but no joy
    This error started in the target database after I used RMAN -DUPLICATE to create another test database on the same server. The source is a 10.2.0.3 database with parameter compatibility set to 9.2.0.
    Thanks

    I have tried changing the compatibility parameter (on advice from Oracle Support) i.e. compatibility=10.2.0 on the target database but this has made no difference

  • Are there other options for renting and downloading movies?

    I have watched movies downloaded from Apple a couple of time, but I really don't like the iTunes interface - my main complaint is that there is no way to filter movies so that I can quickly scan for rentals.  I rarely watch any movie more than one ti
