Database shutdown tooks 20 minutes

Hi
We have Oracle EBS R12.0.6 running on single node configuration. I have a strange situation with database shutdown normal. When i had shutdown database normal last 2 weeks for level 0 backup, shutdown took 5 minutes. Yesterday, again for database level 0 backup, shutdown took 20 minutes. I checked alert log, there were no active calls to kill but it took 20 minutes,why? How can i make the database shutdown faster with normal option?
Help me please, thanks.

ArizYou can make shutdown faster with the normal option pretty much only by ensuring that all client sessions -- including background jobs, concurrent managers, workflow etc are shutdown and logged off
You could however also do one of the following (in my order of preference):
1) don't shutdown the database for backup and use hot backup. For an OLTP db whose data you care about this should be the option of choice IMO.
2) use shutdown immediate; - this is normally faster and is guaranteed to complete after an hour - shutdown normal isn't guaranteed to shutdown ( if an active session is left open but uncommitted).
3) use shutdown abort; This is very fast! It's no good for a cold backup though as the datafiles will be inconsistent.

  • When network is down, it took 15 minutes to report ORA-03113 error

    Now I am using OCCI under redhat to develope application to access oracle database. It works well if the connection with datbase is ok.
    But if the network gone down before executing executeQuery of Statement, it took 15 minutes to throw SQLexception and error code is ORA-03113. Is there any solution to decrease the time to wait?
    I am using OCCI by the mode of: Environment::THREADED_MUTEXED | Environment::OBJECT)
    I only installed 2 rpms in redhat:
    oracle-instantclient-basic-10.1.0.3-1
    oracle-instantclient-devel-10.1.0.3-1

    Yes, it is using TCP/IP. It took a long time to change from TCP state ESTABLISHED to CLOSE_WAIT as to tcp/ip.
    I don't know whether there is timeout mechanism in the procotol used between oracle client and oracle server.
    If there is such timeout mechanism, is it possible to configure it in OCCI? For example, if the network layer
    uses select with timeout option, then the timtout is possible to control. But now it seems that it is not clear to set such configuration. Or is there such nonblocking mode in OCCI?
    Or we can assume that oracle client library just depend on the tcp/ip protocol implementataion to detect that the tcp is broken. And the fact is in windows platform, the OCCI client will throw exception after about 2 minutes.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

  • Database shutdown immediate - time calculation ?

    Hi,
    Good Day.
    did any one tried to calculate time the database would took to complete "shutdown immediate" command?
    hope to have a healthy discussion..

    Hello Jonathan Lewis,
    1-Please note that looking into the alert_sid.log is a good start as it will show if the smon process was dead according to the note:
    Shutdown Normal or Shutdown Immediate Hangs. SMON disabling TX Recovery [ID 1076161.6]
    I can see that that note is labelled: "Checked for relevance June 2009", but have you seen the garbage it suggests for temporary segments:
    <ul>
    Verify that temporary segments are decreasing
    To verify that the temporary segments are decreasing have an active session
    available in Server Manager or SQLPLUS during the SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE. Issue the following
    query to ensure the database is not hanging, but is actually perform extent
    cleanup:
    SVRMGR/SQL> select count(block#) from fet$;
    COUNT(BLOC
    +7+
    SVRMGR/SQL> select count(block#) from uet$;
    COUNT(BLOC
    +402+
    </ul>
    For this to be true the temporary tablespace would have to be declared as dictionary managed, possibly even with contents = "PERMANENT" but it's so long since I've created a dictionary-managed TEMP that I can't be sure of the second point. I would be very cautious about trusting any document that started with such antiquated material - you can have no idea how much of its content might be (at best) deficient and (at worst) dangerously wrong.
    3-to know the transactions that will be rolled back please read the note:
    How to Check Why Shutdown Immediate Hangs? [ID 164504.1]
    Same type of problem - "Checked for relevance: Mar 2010", starts with:
    <ul>
    Start Server Manager (or SQL*Plus for 8i or higher)
    SVRMGRL> connect internal (or SYSDBA for 8i or higher)
    SVRMGRL> select * from x$ktuxe where ktuxecfl = 'DEAD';
    </ul>
    Although x$ktuxe will show you transaction states from the undo segment headers, and this might show you recursive (or other special case) transactions that do not appear in v$transaction, I wouldn't trust a note that is based on 7.3 technology to be an appropriate reference document.

    Hi,
    From your description, you have deployed Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in a co-existence environment. After you upgrade to CU6, databases unexpectedly shut down. In your case, here is a kb for your reference.

    Hi,
    Below is the information from orclALRT.log:
    There's a write/open error. At July 21, 21:00PM our backup is start to run.
    Is it because the backup software locked some oracle's files ?
    But after the error, the next morning July 22 the ORACLE instance is started with no error, even though user can't connect to the database.
    TIA

    Hi Aman,

    This is because Oracle terminates all sessions and does a rollback on all.Francisco,
    What does it mean by rollback here? So if I would kick in really big transaction and Oracle is shutting down, it will be rolling back my transcton? I don't think so. > My transaction info would be cleared immediately. Is there any way that I can see this happening ?
    Aman....Take a look in the Oracle Docs:
    - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/start.htm#sthref589
    Immediate database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
    - No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
    - Any uncommitted transactions are rolled back. (If long uncommitted transactions exist, this method of shutdown might not complete quickly, despite its name.)
    - Oracle Database does not wait for users currently connected to the database to disconnect. The database implicitly rolls back active transactions and disconnects all connected users.
    The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
    Transactional database shutdown proceeds with the following conditions:
    - No new connections are allowed, nor are new transactions allowed to be started, after the statement is issued.
    - After all transactions have completed, any client still connected to the instance is disconnected.
    - At this point, the instance shuts down just as it would when a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE statement is submitted.
    The next startup of the database will not require any instance recovery procedures.
    A transactional shutdown prevents clients from losing work, and at the same time, does not require all users to log off.

    Can you also confirm that you have the Bluetooth radios in Device Manager and that you can discover Bluetooth devices under Windows.
    Last question - do you run more than 1 partition in Windows?
