I hope this will help!!

It was related to switching production to standby database and standby database to new production under oracle environment. I came across this situation before 4 years. I provided this link and it’s nicely solved his problem.
Keep it bookmarked, if you need in future!

Most of the databases are on Solaris servers.  Solaris has many cool features for easy database management, one of them is SMF services.

We manage all the databases under Solaris SMF service. Today, I am going to provide details to do so for oracle.
Needed Files for  Database Service:

2.  startup.sql
2.  shutdown.sql
