Starting the Database Instance (Restart) 

Prerequisites

You have selected the database instance you wish to start.

Procedure

Transferring the Database Instance to the ONLINE Operational State

To start the database instance, that is to transfer it to a running state, choose Instance ® Set Online.

This function can be performed in both the ADMIN operational state and the deactivated operational state ( OFFLINE).

If this command fails to set the database to the ONLINE operational state, you can look for the cause of the error in the log file knldiag.

Transferring the Database Instance to the ADMIN Operational State

Choose Instance ® Admin to transfer the database instance from the deactivated operational state ( OFFLINE) to the ADMIN operational state.

Each time you start the database instance by choosing Instance ® Online or Instance ® Admin, a copy of the console log file (file knldiag in the run directory of the database instance) is created with the name knldiag.old, and file knldiag is overwritten.
