We isuued the following cmd after refering to Doc ID: Note:114100.1 $ ctxsrv -user ctxsys/ctxsys -personality QDL -log ctx.log It resulted in the following error: NLS_LANG not set - using defaults. DRG-10200: invalid server personality mask: QDL After looking into 8i doc we concluded that the allowed option for personality is M only. We issued the following with option M $ ctxsrv -user ctxsys/ctxsys -personality M -log ctx.log And it is hanging, and not coming out. We observed the following in the logfile.

On Unix we use a '&' at the end of = the command so that it yields to other processes.
On NT we have a separate DOS Window = that runs the process.
Hope that helps, Alain.
