I think this is what they are talking about. RF Robert G. Freeman - Oracle OCP Oracle Database Architect CSX Midtier Database Administration Author of several Oracle books you can find on Amazon.com! Londo Mollari: Ah, arrogance and stupidity all in the same package. How efficient of you. -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 8:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Have we had several cases where oracle.exe on NT during patching of Oracle Apps 11i gets a runaway thread. This thread is not known to Oracle - not in v$session. Even if shutdown database, still at 100%. Must halt the service for it to resolved. Oracle is theorizing backupexec from Veritas might be a problem - but doesn't make sense since that service is always running. Now in a dump, Oracle see's something called purify and want us to disable it to see if that makes a difference. Never heard of purify - what is this??
