Has anyone ever seen - and resolved - a database hang at shutdown when the message "SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete." appears in the alert log.

We get this occasionally and no matter how long we wait the shutdown never completes. A new connection to do an abort is not possible as we get "ORA-01090: shutdown in progress - connection is not permitted" when we connect.

Oracle don't seem to have anything to say that is useful - just do what the message says and wait.

Our only solution so far is to kill all the database processes from UNIX and then remove the sga from memory manually using ipcrm - not an ideal solution.

Regards

Samir
