I look forward to reading your solution. I've experienced this exact problem on Solaris 2.3. I even went so far as to put a .sh script together to get me to the directory where the command resides (it seems to matter?) and execute exactly the same command sequence every time, and still I must make several attempts. Since this is currently a test database, I've even bounced it and then tried to bring the listener up. Sometimes this even works, but it may be coincidence. I wouldn't think this would be an acceptable solution for a production database, either way. Since my experience thus far is mostly Prime (yeah, the dinosaur), IBM VM mainframe and DOS/Windows 3.1, I doubt I'll come up with a solution for this problem on my own very soon! Good luck in the hunt! Received on Thu Jan 18 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
