Oracle reconnect problem

	We are trying to run an application in 7X24 mode 
	with connection to an Oracle 7.1 on a Sequent.

	During the course of testing, to simulate 
	maintainance of the database, the Oracle database
	was shut down and the application was not.

	The application detected the shutdown of the 
	Oracle database and started attempts to 
	reconnect. When the Oracle database restarted, 
	the application was not able to reconnect.

	The error message was invalid user login.

	Why?  

	Other information. Application and Oracle
	are running on the same platform. Connections
	use the direct connection, not the TCP/IP 
	connection. 

	If the application is started after Oracle
	is started, the system works fine. Shutting
	down the application while Oracle is running
	also (re)connectes properly.

	Every once in awhile, the application does
	reconnect to Oracle after Oracle is restarted.

	Thanks for any responses.
