Thanks all,

and sorry for spamming the list. After my first message didn't make it through I got response from the list server that it had filtered my message because it looked like an automated reply(I had included the word v a c a t i o n in my original, and so thought I had hit a filter. SO I did the natural thing and tried different phrases every hour or so till my message got through, about 4 times now =).

I always forget about startup force, maybe I will give that a try. I almost always alter system checkpoint before an abort. I need to update my documentation, so others will do so as well if I am away again.

Thanks again,
Steve McClure

 There is also a bug (so far in all versions) that sometimes shows up. Search on EMN0 (search in your alert logs and in metalink). There are a lot of hits on it, and we have found one of our instances doing this... it hangs in shutdown immeidate. Oracle solution... Shutdown Abort, startup restrict, shutdown immediate...and they repeat (A LOT) that this is a valid solution to the problem...

        I am resubmitting this email, as it didn't seem to show up after it was
originally sent last night and this morning.

        Last night I was planning to do a quick bounce of the database, and get our
24x7 shop right back online. Problem was I wasn't able to complete a 'shutdown immediate'. I went through each of the existing sessions in v$session and made sure that all of the user sessions were killed or inactive, but the shutdown immediate still wouldn't process. With damagement standing there looking worried, I went ahead with a shutdown abort just so we could get back to online processing. This is a relatively
new phenomenom for me, as shutdown immediate or killing user sessions has
almost always worked for me in the past. I will add that while I was away
on vaca tion last week, my standin had to do two shutdown aborts of the database. So something might just be amiss.

        Anyhow My question is what should I look for when an instance won't
shutdown via a shutdown immediate? Or maybe my problem is that I should just wholeheartedly embrace shutdown abort, and just let the recovery process clean things up. My problem with that is I used to work with a senior dba that would slap my wrist with a ruler, if I shutdown abort.
