RE: ISTOP vs STOP for Enterprise Manger 12.x

We just upgraded to 12.1.0.5 from 12.1.0.3. We are getting an error stopping the OMS and support suggested using ISTOP.

Good Lord, I don’t even remember that command it was used so long ago! J  

Seriously, Jeffrey, are you still on that ancient release? For that matter, same question to others on the list?  

Maybe I should start a poll instead to see what version people are actually using. I will never forget the day I asked in a DBA I/II class that I used to teach what version of the database people actually had and one of the attendees still had version 3 running. I joined Oracle when version 7 was the latest release, so you can tell how far behind the 8 ball those guys were!

From what I can tell istop is used to kind of force a stop of the management agent on certain windows platforms.  

From the 10.2.0.3 EM Manager config docs (which was just the first set google sent me too…  

If you are having trouble starting or stopping the Management Agent on a Windows NT system, try stopping the Management Agent using the following emctl command:

$PROMPT> <AGENT_HOME>/bin/emctl istop agent

After stopping the Management Agent using the emctl istop agent command, start the Management Agent using the Services control panel.

This problem and solution applies only to the Windows NT platform, not to other Windows platforms, such as Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems.
