Re: Shutdown Immediate

Define hang.

In other words, how much time passes before you consider it a hang?

SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE can take some time.

Our SAP admin got impatient last week and did a SHUTDOWN ABORT on a database cuz she thought the SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE was taking too long.

Files were in need of recovery then.

Who ya gonna call? ;)

I'm learning that SAP admins can be dangerous. They can be senior level people in the SAP world, but barely junior level DBA's at times.
