Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Logging into Windows 2000 "Advanced" Server - Solved, Thanks
Thanks folks,
The SET command was what I needed. It turns out that the network folks installed some new software on the server and somehow trashed the Oracle environment. Even though I manually set my environmental variables, I still was unable to connect to the instance. Oracle support told me this was an indication on Windows 2000 that my binaries needed to be relinked, and the only way to accomplish this on 2000 was to reinstall Oracle. I did, and it's now working.
Live and learn.

The ORA-1113 message suggests that you have a file that needs media
recovery, which makes sense considering the abrupt shutdown. Instead of
opening the database, mount it first through SVRMGRL, the type "recover
database". You may be asked for some archive logs if you're in archivelog
mode. Just follow the directions that Oracle provides. You should be able
to
do a full recovery if the file is not permanently damaged. My guess is that
the db may just be out of sync and media recovery will just get things back
in sync. After the media recovery finishes, run "alter database open".
To do this, go to a command prompt and type "set" to see all your environment variables. To use SVRMGRL, you need to set your ORACLE_SID variable. To do this, enter "set ORACLE_SID=<your oracle sid goes here>". The run SVRMGRL, connect internal, and mount the database. Then recover it and open it. For example:
C:\>set oracle_sid=mydb
C:\>svrmgrl

Hope this helps.

Hope somebody can help.
Our network personnel rebooted a Windows 2000 production box without
shutting down Oracle. I now have the following error in my alert log: Sat
Sep 08 13:45:08 2001 Database mounted in Exclusive Mode.
Completed: alter database mount exclusive
Sat Sep 08 13:45:08 2001
alter database open
ORA-1113 signalled during: alter database open...
Metalink says to check my environment variables. Is there an equivalent of
the UNIX env command on NT? I'm not sure exactly where the environment is
defined here. I'd also like to access this database from the command line
to manually start it up. Having had no success with the "as SYSDBA"
options
for sqlplus on either UNIX or NT, I figure I must be using the wrong
syntax. I know I can't use terminal services client (because the bequeath
protocol doesn't work), but here's what I'm gettiing after I explicitly set
the ORACLE_SID (Metalink says the double quotes are
mandatory):
sqlplus "<username>/<password> connect as sysdba" Usage: SQLPLUS [ [<option>] [<logon>] [<start>] ]
where <option> ::= - | -? | [ [-M <o>] [-R <n>] [-S] ] <logon> ::= <username>[/<password>][@<connect_string>] | / | /NOLOG <start> ::= @<filename>[.<ext>] [<parameter> ...] "-" displays the usage syntax "-?" displays the SQL*Plus version banner "-M <o>" uses HTML markup options <o> "-R <n>" uses restricted mode <n> "-S" uses silent mode
TIA -
