Code:
text=whatever
awk '/'"$text"'/ { print; n = 1; next }
n == 1 { print; n = 0 }'

I am getting following error:

sed -n '/Completed: ALTER DATABASE OPEN/{N;p}' alert_newdb.log
sed: Function /Completed: ALTER DATABASE OPEN/{N;p} cannot be parsed.

Thanks

Another though would be:
grep -b1 -a1 java /var/log/someserver.log

-b1 one line before "java"
-a1 one line following "java"
