we have an oracle database and twice in the last 2 weeks it has crashed .
the users ccome in in the morning and cannot log in. they recieve the
following error 'ora-01089: immediate shutdown in progress - no operations
are permitted'.If i look at the app logs on the server the only thing there
is that the tape unit timed out, but that is only because it runs a pre job
batch file to shutdown the database before it backs it up, so what i can
figure is that it cannot shutdown the database so it therefoe cannot proceed
with the backup, the backup happens at 22:30 each night. But at 19:30 each
night the oracle database is shutdown , and export of the data is done and
then it is restarted.what i think is happening is the export is done, but
for some reason the database is not restarted, so the backup at 22:30 cannot
happen. The export log shows that the export is carried out successfully.
According to our suppliers who took a copy of the oracle trace log the last
time [2 weeks ago] it happened the problem is not with oracle.
If someone could point me in the direction of what to look at, logs etc to
try to get to the root of the problem. the OS is NT4 fully patched and
oracle 6i.
Many thanks
