You can use DBaaS Monitor to start up and shut down your database instance.

Topics

Starting the Database Instance

You can use DBaaS Monitor to start the database instance in OPEN mode. In this mode the instance is started, the database is mounted and then opened.

If you need to start the database instance in any other mode (NOMOUNT, MOUNT, or FORCE), use SQL*Plus instead of DBaaS Monitor. For more information, see "Starting Up and Shutting Down" in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for Release 18, 12.2, 12.1 or 11.2.

To start the database instance in OPEN mode:

  1. On the DBaaS Monitor home page, click Database Status. Or, in the Database pull-down menu, click Manage.
  2. In the menu for your database, click Start database.
    The database instance is started.

Stopping the Database Instance

You can use DBaaS Monitor to shut down the database instance in IMMEDIATE mode. In this mode, no new connections are allowed. No new transactions are allowed to be started and any uncommitted transactions are rolled back.

If you need to shut down the database instance in any other mode (ABORT, NORMAL, or TRANSACTIONAL), use SQL*Plus instead of DBaaS Monitor. For more information, see "Starting Up and Shutting Down" in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide for Release 18, 12.2, 12.1 or 11.2.

To shut down the database instance in IMMEDIATE mode:

  1. On the DBaaS Monitor home page, click Database Status. Or, in the Database pull-down menu, click Manage.
  2. In the menu for your database, click Stop database.
    The database instance is shut down.
