Dave,
We've periodically had this problem with various jobs that
were running at the time of the shutdown immediate. I try
to isolate the cause by killing the various processes I still
see running via ps -ef | grep SID.
Sometimes the problem has been our RMAN backup that
is running, sometimes it's a problem with our piped export
script, and sometimes it is our third party monitoring tool,
Precise.
A simple solution would be to do a shutdown abort, startup
restrict, and a normal shutdown instead of shutdown immediate.
Another solution would be to write a script that checks to see
what processes are still running and kill them all.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
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
