Hello DBA's Good Morning!! Hope everyone is doing good. I have a question for the issue I am facing. Here is one of the database hosted on the unix box which is a test database for the client. The box was rebooted and the database was not cleanly shutdown once after the rebooted completed, the database did not came up and I logged in and checked database was down. People from the appliation side were getting this error message.ERROR: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress We dont have any backup of the database other then the logical backup where in the database is exported on schedule bases. When I tried as a DBA to startup the database, it was expecting the recovery of the system.dbf file with one of the archive sequence. But the database was in no-archive log mode, hence was not able to bring up the database. Finally we brought up the database with setting the parameter allow_restlogs_corruption = true. Now the database is up and running but even now when the application side try to login they are getting the same error message as "ERROR: ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress". I am a junor DBA. Please help me if there a solution for this or we need to just re-import it all and start the database is that the only solution or can we have another solution for this problem. Thanks Nilesh Soni
