Problems with stopping dbconsole & iSQL+

Question

I have 2 databases (10.2.01) on 1 Linux RedHat server. We needed to implement ESRI GIS that’s why we wanted to keep those DB separate – GIS is on 2nd DB.
I have problem with shutting down dbconsole & iSQL+:
dbconsole is starting normally, but on shutdown it gives error „Failed to shutdown DBConsole Gracefully”. Not sure if it happens coz of 2 DBs on same server, because I forgot to add something to config files or I 1ce accidentally restarted server while DB was set to shut down normally.
Reverting GIS DB to backup after making startup/shutdown script 1st box restart, but before box restart mid-normal DB shutdown didn’t change a thing.
Startup/shutdown script in “/etc/rc.d/init.d”:
#!/bin/sh
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Oracle auto start-stop script.
# Set ORA_HOME to be equivalent to the $ORACLE_HOME
# from which you wish to execute dbstart and dbshut;
# Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORA_HOME.
ORA_HOME=<Oracle home dir>
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
# Start the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORA_HOME"
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID=<DB SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID=<GIS SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID==<DB SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start"
'stop')
# Stop the Oracle databases:
# The following command assumes that the oracle login
# will not prompt the user for any values
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID==<DB SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl stop"
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID==<DB SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
     su - $ORA_OWNER -c "ORACLE_SID==<GIS SID>;$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORA_HOME"
Esac
iSQL+ is also starting normally, but on stopping it gives:
iSQL*Plus 10.2.0.1.0
Copyright (c) 2003, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Stopping iSQL*Plus ...
Error: Unable to find java:comp/ServerAdministrator: Lookup error: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid username/password for default (admin); nested exception is: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Invalid username/password for default (admin)
iSQL*Plus stopped.
But it’s still running…
I only managed to work around dbconsole by editing emctl.pid to match Enterprise Manager Agent Port for respective SID (not sure even if you can call that workaround), but emctl.pid seems to be random on dbconsole start.
I really don’t want to put any DB updates on until I manage to shutdown dbconsoles & iSQL+ properly… or maybe update IS the solution.
GIS DB is just created - no data on it. So I can delete it if its gona help, but Id prefer to solve this as experience never hurts (especially if Im gona have 2 DBs on 1 box).
I’m new to Oracle – been on Administration workshop & backup/recovery courses, but those problems don’t really feel like basic stuff so some tips on this would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

According to my little knowledge - i don't think Oracle is an AIDB. It is only RDBMS or rather you can call it Advanced RDBMS.
Now, you are thinking that since you have provided the relavant table here - so Oracle should automatically pic the single records. Since you have define every logic including the concept of primary key, foreign key in your table.
But, question is - did you apply the relationship in your join between the tables.
What does a primary key, foreign key do inside a table? Is it automatically select the unique rows from the join tables - when you didn't mention the join criterion.
If you think that - then you are wrong. My advice is - kindly go through the JOIN Concept.
Then start your coding. This is very dangerous way to start. Learn the basics at least.
So, what Senti suggested has a very much valid point.
