Oracle Support doesn't really care why it is happening. All I get is, hangs happen, your two options are shutdown abort/startup restricted/shutdown immediate ("a valid solution") or putting in Dead Connection Detection and adding overhead. The ever so wonderful Metalink has at least a dozen or more docs that return on a search of EMN0, all of them acknowledging that these happen, about half commenting that you only have to worry if AQ is used, but the other half saying, yeah we know, this is the work around, get over it. Per the assigned analyst "There is nothing we can do to prevent shutdown immediate hang sometimes." Oh, and this... feature... is not fixed in 9i, and frequently appears to have something to do with Java in the database.

Thank you for the help.

April,

The "Restarting dead background process EMN0" message immediately prior to a shutdown is an annoying, but harmless message. The EMN0 process is not started unless AQ is used and even then it will be killed if it sits idle long enough. Upon shutdown, however, it can get awakened to ensure that it processes any existing messages, if any, and thus this message is written to the alert.log.

Do you have any shutdown triggers that could be preventing the db from shutting down cleanly? The best thing to do to get to the root of the hang is to take several system state dumps (at least 3, 1 - 2 minutes apart) while the system appears to be hanging.  

Connected as internal or a SYSDBA user:
ALTER SESSION SET EVENTS 'IMMEDIATE TRACE NAME SYSTEMSTATE LEVEL 10'; System state dumps can be rather large so you may want to ensure that max_dump_file_size is set very high or change it before generating the system state dump: ALTER SESSION SET MAX_DUMP_FILE_SIZE=UNLIMITED; Oracle Support should be able to determine from them why the shutdown appears to be hanging.

HTH,
