Dave,

Many Thanks! It was the same situation you encountered. Once I removed the instance setting everything was back to normal.

Thanks again.

Josh,

Dump your spfile to a pfile and review the contents, checking for "job_queue_processes". I had a situation where I was making a change for all instances in the RAC ("sid = '*'") but someone previously had set values per instance. What happens is the instance settings follow the RAC settings and being the last ones listed they get chosen. Dumping to pfile showed me something like:

*.job_queue_processes=10
dchdb1.job_queue_processes=6

So although I set the queue to 10 instance 1 would get started with 6.

10g R2
Linux
spfile only, I have deleted in init.ora file to avoid confusion the database is open

show parameters job queue processes 2
alter database set job_queue_processes? scope=both; shutdown abort startup nomount show parameter job job_queue_processes=2

what could be changing the parameter behind the scenes on me. I suspect a bug.
