Hi,

Yesterday I changed the log_archive_dest_1 to 'location=/u02/archive' where before there was nog archive mode.
I then did a shutdown immediate but the startup doesn't succeed.

I get the ORA-12514 error. Can somebody help me? I haven't been able to login at any level.

Kind regards

Welcome to the forum. Please read our OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read

"startup doesn't succeed" is not a very precise error message. Can you show what you are doing and what happens? Please use copy/paste, and [code] tags.

Hello,

Here is a screenshot of what I've executed:

/forum/fa/12767/0/

That's it. Unfortunally. A tnsping to oracle11.world still works.

I did ask you to use copy/paste. It is only just possible to read that screen shot.

However, this is all you need to do:

I have already asked you to enclose your copy/paste in [code] tags. I shall not assist further if you do not follow the forum guidelines. So, your last chance. You might want to say "thankyou for your time" as well.

If the operating system authentication is not configured correctly (which is what your error tells me) you need to use password file authentication instead:

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

You have to be locally connected to restart the database.

The problem why he can't open the file is because it doesn't exits Confused

(don't know why - inherited this server from a colleague who is now retired).

So again, a big thanks for helping me!

It is certain that the Windows service for the atabase instance is running, or you would receive a different error. Can you show how it is confiugured, with the Windows command

Code: [Select all] [Show/ hide]

sc qc oracleserviceoracle11

If your dabase instance is named ORACLE11, the file to start the instance would be named by default either
D:\APP\DBA\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\INITORACLE11.ORA
or
D:\APP\DBA\PRODUCT\11.2.0\DBHOME_1\DATABASE\SPFILEORACLE11.ORA
Do you have any files named something like that?

Hi,

I just found an init.ora in a different folder. Copied en renamed it to what was needed and I could start the instance.
Many thanks for the help!

Now, for your own understanding you need to follow up by researching the difference between a pfile (init<sid>.ora) and an spfile (spfile<sid>.ora).
