Re: shutdown immediate taking too long

Dear all,

I don't know if this relevant but on 8.1.(5 or 6) I've had two cases where the archive log destination has filled; then I've moved stuff around to make space available in it. At this point I would expect the database server to get going again but it still says (in alert log) no arc dest available or words to that effect. Then I tried to shutdown immediate, waited a couple of hours, looked in alert log and found squillions of "arc dest not avail" or what have you messages. I then had to shutdown abort. Are you getting anything in alert log?
This might be some use, or completely irrelevant if your arc dest isn't full.

Regards,
Terry.
