Eduard,

You don't say why the time sync is causing such pain, or how you are syncing up the time.

If the synchronization is a problem, check into using ntp or xntp found at www.ntp.org ( network time protocol )

Many shops use this to keep servers in sync. I use it at home on linux boxes, works great.

How is this synchronization affecting your Oracle instances?

Hi List,

we have about 2 min difference between the time on our db server and the rest boxes in our network.
Actually, the time on DB server is 2min slow than the network time.It causes
real pain to us.

I think about the following order of time synchronization:

Normal shutdown the DB and listener
immediate cold backup
setup time synchronization on the unix level
startup the DB and listener
Normal shutdown DB and listener
immediate cold backup
startup DB and listener

Is this correct ? Any possible troubles? Any good links?

Thanks in advance,
Ed
