Oracle 11.2.0.3 and 11.2.0.4 on Windows Server 2008R2 - Database not autostarting, why?

edited Aug 23, 2016 7:48AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 16 commentsAnswered

I have a couple situations on a DEV/TEST server where the database will not start automatically. For clarity,

  • the windows service is set up to start automatically (this starts the instance)
  • the windows service is set up to start the database (ORADIM) by using the AUTO
    • ORADIM -NEW -SID giststdb -INTPWD mypass -STARTMODE AUTO -PFILE C:\oracle\product\11.2.0\dbhome_4\database\initGISTSTDB.ora

I can see in the registry that this has been set correctly. However, if I restart the service, the database does not come up. It comes up fine manually.

Ideas on where to look for issues?

Thanks!  ~Tony C.
