Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> shutdown immediate hangs
I have Oracle 8.1.7 running on windoze NT 4.0. Every night I have a script that kicks off a cold backup. Part of the script issues the command
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE which normally works just fine before I actually copy my files. However, periodically the "shutdown immediate" command does not work. It just hangs until someone complains that they cannot connect to the database or when I come in early in the morning and notice it hanging. In my <SID>Alrt.log I get the following
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete
This also shows up in a trace file file multiple times. I have to issue a "shutdown abort" to stop the database.
In doing some research on metalink I see that otheres also have this problem. The responses from Oracle are somewhat vague. I do see that one of the responses seems to indicate that if the intelligent agent is running that it could be the cause for the hanging. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it by shutting down the intelligent agent service?? Any other things that I can do to remedy this.
Thanks,
Dave
