Cannot start oracle [message #61403]

Hi,

I am working with an Oracle 8i database. I longed to the Oracle EIM as sysdba and shut down the database in the normal mode. But it is taking a lot of time and the OEM session also got hung. Now I cannot log on to the database, it says that it is shutting down (ORA-01081). I tried to start it again but I get the same message.

I am not sure what users are still logged on to the database. There is an application which runs on the database and it may have open hung sessions in it.

Please let me know what is the solution.

Thanks,

Onomitra

SQL>connect internal
SQL>shutdown abort
SQL>startup

When you want to stop database use
SQL>shutdown immediate
For better explainiing of command shutdown see documentation.

To shut down database correctly you must to connect to them as sysdba. What program packet is Oracle EIM? If you have a Oracle client software, then you have sqlplus on your PC.

Hi Anatol,

Mentioning "Oracle EIM" is a mistake on my part. I meant OEM i.e. Oracle Enterprise Manager. During shutdown, I logged on as "sys" and as "sysdba".

Thanks,

Onomitra

Excellent. Run sqlplus and restart your database.

If you shutdown the db with a NORMAL , then all the corrent sessions should commit their job before the db is goign to be shutdown.

Yoo should try with SHUTDWON IMMEDIATE next time for faster results. If the db hangs - the OracleService shutdown/startup will take care of this.
