I'll echo that sentiment. 'shutdown abort', 'startup restrict' was a regular part of my shutdown scripts beginning in 1994 with 7.0.16, as 'shutdown immediate' wasn't all that reliable, even in situations where it should have worked. Jared On Wednesday 29 January 2003 15:53, John Kanagaraj

I guess I'll go with this method since I have a couple of cold backups that hang on the SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE and will remain hung until I rectify the situation. I have had TAR's on this but this could not be resolved. I'm just more confident to see others doing this. Does anyone have this

I know I am going to catch major grief for this, but I avoid shutdown abort when possible. Shutdown immediate can take some time, as it will do transaction rollback in serial (where recovery at startup can do it in parallel and as needed). The main reason I avoid it is that there are known bugs

I have had a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE hang for over 4 days on a test database that had little if any activity going on it so it could not be doing rollbacks for 4 days. It is something else that is a feature of 8i. I'm not keen on the SHUTDOWN ABORT either but I cannot have my database hang

Dan, you won't be running alone. I had a bad corruption experience with 7.3 on NT (who hasn't), that I highly suspect was due to ABORT, but have never confirmed. Yes, depending on the situation, I have used ABORT with a followup IMMEDIATE many times without problem since then. My issue with

I used to see the shutdown immediate hang on OpenVMS (Oracle 7.x) platforms, never did happen on my Unix machines, and I never did have to support Oracle on Windoze :). I did notice if I stopped the developers from submitting jobs via dbms_jobs and forced them to use VMS batch jobsthen

It shouldn't be too hard to split off a process in the shutdown script that checks for the existence of the smon process 10 minutes or so after the shutdown immediate, if it sees it it could just go ahead and kill the db with shutdown abort and sned an email or something. I had some issues trying

Rao, And where did you read that 'shutdown abort' is not recommended? This is another myth that has been busted a while ago. A shutdown abort followed by a startup restrict and a normal shutdown is the way to go when dealing with rogue sessions that open a connection and never shutdown. In such
