10gR2 problems

Question

Hello
I was previously working on OWB 9.2 and recently have joined a project which uses OWB 10gR2..
Now as i have started working on the same, i am getting a lot of issues in 10gR2 which i hadn't faced in 9.2 version...
One scenario is:
We were having some problems in our Development database, so we shut the database and restarted the same. As per the convention, the jobs that were running before shutting down of the database, should get killed and resources should be released. But that is not the case.. the jobs are still running and it hasn't relaesed any of the resources.
Second scenario is :
Whenever I login to Runtime Audit Browser to see audit details.. After refreshing any thing, the page again is thrown back to Login page or comes back on login page where in I have to give the login details again.
I just want to know what are the enhancements of 10gR2 over 9.2 versions and what are the drawbacks??
Thanks

There appear to be lots of errors involved.
gsdctl does not work because it switches the oracle home to db_1 but then calls db_1/bin/lsnodes which does not exist (try crs_1/bin/lsnodes? or one of the others?).
lsnodes is built in many places, and most have some bug causing the "struct size 0". I tried some workarounds with varied success, but nothing worked 100%.
Finally, I did what you did, e.g.
./srvctl status nodeapps -n "<hostname>"
crs_stop -all
./srvctl stop nodeapps -n "<hostname>"
./srvctl start nodeapps -n "<hostname>"
crs_start -all
./srvctl start database -d "<sid>"
which is almost as simple as "crs_start -all", but I'm hesitant to put this in my boot procedure because I'd have to figure out how long to wait.
Nice to see that even less testing is going into 10gR2. ;-)
