[#1]

Hi Experts,

Sorry for asking the same question(available in SDN).I have gone through the many threads but couldn't not able to find the solution.

My Issue is:

In our DEV system while running the database backup the Database(Oracle 12) is restarting with the

ORA 01033 Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress.

Could you please explain why we are getting this issue.(i am learning the BASIS)

Thanks in Advance.

Thanks & Regrads,

Hi Vijaya,

Since your SAP system running on your windows operating system, please check and let us know which your user you have used to start the oracle instance check in (services.MSC)

You have to ensure that the Oracle environment (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE) is identical to the user which you used to start , If ORACLE_HOME differs, you will get an ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress error when starting SAP.
