oracle_diag

Hi all,

oracle : 9.2.0.6 (not RAC)
AIX : 5.3 (64 Bit) (HACMP)

On a system of a customer I typed : ps -ef | grep oracle

The follwing is the first lines of output.

root_at_h01pp0109(/home/root)# ps -ef | grep oracle

  oracle 245866      1   0 12:55:07      -  0:00 ora_smon_QSTPRD

  oracle 573564      1   0 12:55:04      -  0:00 ora_lmon_QSTPRD

As you can see 1 of the processes (among the other well known processes) is : ora_diag_QSTPRD

My problem is that I donīt have a clue about what this process is or does.

Does anyone know what this process does and how we can control it?

The normal googling did not turn up anything usefull.

So any pointers are welcome.

Best Regards,
