Hello,
We have a oracle 7.3.4 database on solaris 8. Sometimes the daily exports hang. We do a daily export at 11pm. Usually it takes about 5 - 10 minutes. But sometimes it hangs. Is there a possibility that the export will hang, if some process is pulling/updating a lot of data in the database? I set a trace for sometime, and I couldn't find anything suspicious at all. Any help will be great.

Thanks.

Check your parameter file. If it has consistent=y and there is a high activity in the database, your export might hang for a while, but not so long.

Since you are on Solaris OS, when the export is running, do:

$ps -ef | grep exp

get the exp process PID, and then run:

$truss -p PID

You should be able to see what is happening with the process on the kernel level.

Hope that helps,
