Server Administration :: Listener Shutdown For Individual Instances
May 17, 2013
I am upgrading a DB using catupgrd.sql, and one of the prerequisites is to shut down the listener. Now, I have multiple database instances registered with this listener, and I don't want the other ones to become unavailable while I do the upgrade. Is there any way to do this for a particular instance only?
I recently installed Oracle 10g on my windows Xp laptop. It has become considerably slow since then. I want to start the database server only when I need it, and not every time I start my laptop. I looked around in OEM and did found a way.
I have installed oracle 11g Release 11.1.0.1 on windows server 2008.I access this server from a client machine running on winXP through SQL PLUS. I wanted to shutdown and start DB server from this client machine. Accordingly i issued shutdown immediate command from SQLPLUS.
Now when i tried to start the DB with "STARTUP NOMOUNT" command i received error 12514. I understand this error means that the listener received a request to establish connections to a database but since DB services are not up and running, hence the error. So my first question is how do I resolve this error.
Continuing further, i tried to re-connect to the database as sys, and i received another error ORA-01041. So, my second question is why did i receive this error and again how can i resolve it
may be you can point me to relevant reference in Oracle documentation) how can i start and stop oracle from a client machine using SQL interface in CLI mode and windows environment and avoid this error.
I issued a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE command on my database and for over 2 hours and got no response. I did this because I wanted to restart the database due to many hanging sessions which had led to high CPU usage on the server by oracle process.
Oracle Service<dbname> instance using the Windows Services screen which failed with an error 1053 message. At the same time I got an ORA-01013 message saying user requested cancel of operation. See below:
SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE ORA-01013: user requested cancel of current operation SQL> SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE ORA-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations are permitted SQL> SHUTDOWN ABORT ORA-24324: service handle not initialized ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
What I want to know is how do I proceed? Also how do I check to see the status of the Shutdown operation?
We have 2 Unix SunOS server, named as SUNOS01 and SUNOS02, there is some space need to add in SUNOS02 and for that I have to bring Database down on SUNOS02. When I checked I found that the DB is pointing to SUNOS01, i.e. there is no DB on SUNOS02, So, Do I required to shutdown the DB on SUNOS01 or it is not required to do anything from Database side. I mean to say should I ask Unix team to bring down the unix server and add the space.Also, if DB shutdown is not required then what I have to do afetr they have added space and bring the server up from DB side.
I want to shutdown the database using shutdown immediate and startup the database using startup mount.
1.)My system is client system if I connect start--> program -->Accessories --> communication --> Remote Desktop connection (connect server system) , open Run type cmd after
Shutdown immediate (database is shutdown)
Startup mount (database is mounted no problem it's working fine)
2.) But if I, open Run type cmd in client system If I run same command, I'm getting below error (ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error).

3. If I run same command in Sql Plus I'm getting below error(ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor).

I was monitoring a database job to collect statistics, it was scheduled using DBMS_JOBS..I found that it was running during business hours so i got the session ID of the job using;
select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
I then i killed the job using;
select serial# from v$session where sid =232; alter system kill session '232, 10852'; select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
no rows selected...After some time i again fired the same command
select sid from dba_jobs_running where job=11;
SID ---------- 232
and found that the same job is again running..This behavior was repeated again N again. i have attached the spool file for the same...
what could be the reason that the job is starting all over again even after killing the session and what should be done to stop it..I understand that once the database shuts down and if the job is still running then it will restart once the database is up..In this case, Should i remove the job and re submit it again..
When I am trying to connect to sql from scott or any other user i am getting this error message ,
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
I have been getting this error message for 4 four days . Butt when i am trying to connect from SYS user it connects successfully ,but when i do query it gives me following error message .
ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only
I shutdown Database from SYS user ,and start it again .But at startup it gives me following error message .
ORA-00204: error in reading (block 3, # blocks 8) of control file ORA-00202: control file: 'D:ORACLEPRODUCT10.2.0ORADATAORCLCONTROL03.CTL' ORA-27091: unable to queue I/O ORA-27070: async read/write failed OSD-04006: ReadFile() failure, unable to read from file O/S-Error: (OS 23) Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
We are unable to drop user due to below error, how to drop the below user without shutdown the database.

I have oracle 10g as well as oracle 8i on my server. currently we are using oracle 10g. now we get the following error when we try to connect to oracl 10g database.

The location of pfile of oracle 10g database is c:/oracle/product/10.0.0.1/admin/pfile.
We have changed the SYSDATE to 03-FEB-1994 in our AIX machine where oracle11g database is running. Once the sysdate is changed db and listner are getting down immediately and its generating the core in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
This AIX machine is for PT test and as per one requirement we are changing the sysdate. Moreover, we found that database is getting down if we change the sysdate till 1999. If we change the sysdate to 2000, then we are not seeing any issue.
Below point is for additional info. After changing the sysdate and trying to connect to the db user, we are getting the below issue.
I searched the knowledge base here and in other forums and haven't found the answer. There was a similar condition presented earlier, but it turned out the resolution was to run the >shutdown/>startup on the server rather than from a client. Not applicable in my case!
Shutdown and startup called used to work with 9i, now startup fails in 10g. ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set and report correct values. What is different in 10g that the script (shown below) now throws a TNS listener error after shutdown?
I successfully upgraded from 9i to 10g (10.2.0.5.0) on Windows Server 2003, 32-bit last weekend. Now our backup_script.bat and oracle_stop_start.sql throw "ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in the connect descriptor"
This batch file and sql script predate me and worked with 9i for years. Now the startup command in the oracle_stop_start throws this error after executing shutdown. The backup batch file calls:
sqlplus "system/manager@wind as sysdba" @D:ptcwindchillackupsoracle_stop_start
The entire oracle_stop_start.sql is as follows:
shutdown immediate; startup open; quit
What is different in 10g that this now doesn't work? Shutdown works, but it will not startup due to the listener error. I have made the backups work by commenting out the call to sqlplus and I'm getting good backup dumps.
In my virtual image of the server I have found that I can duplicate the error after >shutdown. I have found that if I exit sql*plus and go back in as follows I can get the database instance to restart from the command line:
c:>sqlplus /nolog sql>connect sys/* as sysdba sql>startup open wind;
That does start, mount and open the database instance.
Is there a better way to be making sure that everything is stopped before executing the >exp command to create a backup dump? I will look into and test datapump export/import and RMAN for creating the backups, after I get this working again.
why this worked in sql*plus in 9i but not in 10g? Can I make TNS Listener smarter? Change or add variables to the startup command?
Find an appropriate script to automate Oracle DBs in one server? This db server have 6 instances. We always done the starting up and shutting down manually, although we have a reference script that does this but in Oracle v7.3.4. We do want to include the automatic start/stop of dbconsole for accessing it via OEM.
1. Install patch 6613550 (./rootpre.sh) 2. Install 10.2.0.1 for AIX 64-bit 3. Install 10.2.0.5 Patch Set 4. Create Database 5. Created/Setup LISTENER and TNSNAMES (test connection successful)
After installation of database, everything went well until we tried to restart the server, what happened is that we cannot start the listener, the error was:
TNS-12555: TNS:permission denied TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error TNS-00525: Insufficient privilege for operation IBM/AIX RISC System/6000 Error: 1: Not owner
What i did to resolve this problem is to change the owner of /tmp to oracle, after that i was able to start the listener. ($lsnrctl start) The problem is that our sys admin said that the /tmp directory is being used by the OS and it's owner must be root. But if i return it to root, the listener will not start again. (After server restart)
BTW, our /tmp has enough space so we did not perform the following steps from the installation guidelines:
To one of my server i can see listener log are on normal location i.e. $ORACLE_HOME/network/log and on other server listener log is DIAG home. how to move listener log from ORACLE_HOME to DIAG_HOME.

On last Saturday we encountered error 'TNS-12519: TNS:no appropriate service handler found" in our listener log for some moment of time let say around 5mins and later it got all right itself.
I am having issue with configuring listner name on Oracle Server.My default listener is working,But I have stopped the default listener and tried to create another listener is differnt port,but no success,It always says The address of the specifed listener name is incorrect.Below is the listener.ora file
