I try to make Oracle 12.1.0.2.0 start with the system via init.d on my Oracle Linux 7.3 machine.
I followed this example: https://oracle-base.com/articles/linux/automating-database-startup-and-shutdown-on-linux
This is my script to start the db:
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
#
# Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME
# from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut;
#
# Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORA_HOME.
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1
ORA_OWNER=oracle
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
# Remove "&" if you don't want startup as a background process.
su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start" &
su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart &
touch /var/lock/subsys/dbora
;;
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/dbora
;;
esac
Nothing happens upon start. I created soft links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc3.d:
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc0.d/K10dbora
ln -s /etc/init.d/dbora /etc/rc3.d/S99dbora
chkconfig --level 2345 dbora on
chkconfig lists the dbora.sh with runlevel 2345 on
manually starting with a short script works just fine, like this:
#!/bin/sh
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart
What am I missing?
