Want Solution Do the following : 
 
you can add the new TNS connect string (UR = A) to the tnsnames entry.
 
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
)
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = ORCL)
(UR = A)
)
 
if the above Solution not working Make sure your listener look like :
 
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = CLRExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\app\oraserver\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(ENVS = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ONLY:D:\app\oraserver\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\bin\oraclr11.dll")
)
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=orcl)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\app\oraserver\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1)
)
)

LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1521))
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
)
)
 


Thank you

  19. Hello Osama,I tried the same steps that you mentioned in your last comment and now database is up and running.It is not blocking the database instance but I can't connect to Oracle Enterprise Manager using thehttps://localhost:1158/em. Firefox displayed the error message. Also I changed the ORACLE_SID to “orcl”(lower case) in /home/oracle/.bash_profile. I think thats the reason for DB console failure. I am also getting error when installing OIM.When I tried to start it from CLI:[oracle@localhost bin]$ emctl start dbconsoleOC4J Configuration issue. /opt/oracle/112/oc4j/j2ee/OC4J_DBConsole_localhost.localdomain_orcl not foundPlease let me know what should I do so that both Database is running and DB Console should be up too.As as last resort I am thinking to re-install Database, run RCU, install Weblogic server and the finally install the Oracle Identity Management.Thanks,-Arshad

  20. For this ORA-00205: error in identifying control file, check alert log for more info As you the error is clear you need to check the alert log , and seems you have miss configuration Check your ORACLE_SID and fix it in the bash_profile.
