Accidental ALTER DATABASE CLOSE (unsuccessful), causes RMAN backup to fail with ORA-01014: ORACLE sh

edited Dec 9, 2015 2:00PM in Database Backup and Recovery (MOSC) 4 commentsAnswered

On a 11.2.0.3 database on RHEL 6,  ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command was issued accidentally, but that did not succeed because there were active connections.

The error received was :

CLOSE: Active sessions prevent database close operation

CLOSE: Error 1093 during database close

The command was immediately aborted and we were able to login afterwards successfully and all applications are functioning normally.

However, our RMAN full backup is failing with "ORA-01014: ORACLE shutdown in progress".   Is there a way to correct without having to shutdown and restart the production instance? 

Thanks in advance.
