Hi DBAs,
Today while working on a lower environment (test) database, i faced the Error ORA - 1033 foreground process starts before PMON.
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
Windows XP SP 2
The oracle community posts shows that it is a bug and it is solved in 11.2 Version
The error came mainly because of the following sequence of activities
1. Invoked the batch file which starts the Windows Oracle Database Service.
2. When the starting of Oracle Database is in progress, i tried to connect to the database from another command prompt window using sqlplus as sysdba and it went to a hung state resulting in ORA - 1033 error.
Please let me know your experience on this error.
Thanks,
Salih KM
