Gurus, I am running Oracle 8.1.7.4.1 on a Win2K Advanced Server platform using 2 ZEON P4 processors.
The problem I have is that when I stop the Service for the DB (OracleServiceLIMS), it crashes the database instead of performing a clean shutdown. The registry entry is set to allow 5 minutes for the shutdown to complete, yet the system behaves as if the entry is not there. The registry entries are as follows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0 ORA_LIMS_AUTOSTART:REG_EXPAND_SZ:TRUE ORA_LIMS_PFILE:REG_EXPAND_SZ:c:\Oracle\admin\LIMS\pfile\initLIMS.ora ORA_LIMS_SHUTDOWN:REG_EXPAND_SZ:TRUE ORA_LIMS_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT:REG_EXPAND_SZ:300 ORA_LIMS_SHUTDOWNTYPE:REG_EXPAND_SZ:i ORACLE_BASE:REG_SZ:c:\oracle ORACLE_CWD:REG_SZ:c:\Oracle\admin\LIMS\log ORACLE_GROUP_NAME:REG_SZ:Oracle - OraHome817 ORACLE_HOME:REG_SZ:c:\oracle\ora817 ORACLE_HOME_KEY:REG_SZ:Software\ORACLE\HOME0 ORACLE_HOME_NAME:REG_SZ:OraHome817 ORACLE_SID:REG_SZ:LIMS The service will open the database whenever it's started, but it crashes the DB when the service is stopped. I have used the ORADIM utility to drop and recreate the service with no change in behavior. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
