The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Unable to start Oracle Service

Asked by spoj in Oracle Database

Tags: context, level, name, oracle, start

Hi,

I am currently having problems with Oracle 9i.

Everytime I startup the pc and try looking into the services, all the services are started, but the service OracleServiceXXX (the SID i created) is in a "Starting" state. There is no way that i could stop the service and try restarting it, unless i restart the server having the service OracleServiceXXX set to manual. If i start the server with the OracleServiceXXX as manual, and try starting the service manually (either through dos prompt or through the Services application, and waiting for 10 - 20 minutes), it will still be hanging on the "Starting" state.

I experience the same situation on a different unit having an Oracle 8i. The difference is that, in Oracle8i, all i have to do is to
startup the database manually:

set ORACLE_SID = XXX
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba (it will have a message of "connected to an idle instance.")
startup (this will startup the instance)

This will work and i could use the database already.

If i try the same thing on Oracle9i, the line:

>>> connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba

will only display a message of "connected."

If i try the line:
>>> startup

it will have a message of "ORA-01081: cannot start already-running ORACLE - shut it down first"

Knowing that it is already started, i try to shut it down again and restart it.

I tried the line:
shutdown immediate

The problem is that it says that there is an "end-of-file communication channel..."
and it won't shutdown.

Is there anyone who could help me with this problem.

I will be posting the specifications of the server, as well as the init.ora for the service.
