Peter,

30 seconds seems a little short for shutting down the database.

I allow 10 minutes for mine.

In addition, the follow registry key needs to be modified to allow the 10 minute timeout.

There's an Oracle note on this in MetaLink somewhere.

Jared

Registry Key: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

WaitToKillServiceTimeout = < value in milliseconds >

To avoid killing the service before the database is shutdown, this value needs to be equal to ORACLE_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT * 1000.

e.g. for an ORACLE_SID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT value of 600, this would be set to 600000.

        Subject:        Automatic shutdown on NT does a shutdown abort

Environment:

                 Oracle 8.1.7
                 NT 4.0 sp 6

Registry parameters:

                 ORA_<sid>_SHUTDOWN = "TRUE"
                 ORA_<sid>_SHUTDOWN_TYPE="i"
                 ORA_<sid>_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT="30"

When I stop the OracleService<sid>, the database appears to do a shutdown abort. No entries are made in the alert log to indicate that a clean shutdown occurred.

When I restart the service, the alert log contains messages like "Beginning crash recovery of 1 threads".

Any ideas what I have missed?

Thanks,
