I don't use consistent = Y because we have had buffer and ORA-04030
errors. This means that I am best off making sure there are no
processes running. 1st shutdown immediate is to make sure that there
are no processes running before the Export, startup restrict to stop
users logging in. The system should only be 5 days per week 9 hours
per day anyway. The startup restrict is belt and braces.
