Do I have to shutdown 9i before shutting down the server?

Hi, probably a stupid question but I just curious because there are some error when I chkdsk /F my HD. I am using restart.vbs to do an unattended shutdown on w2k server. I wonder whether Oracle cause this or Oracle take care of this automatically?
Thanks for your info.

You definitely want to make sure you stop your Oracle database before you shutdown your server.
One way of doing this in an automated script like you have is to stop the W2K service for Oracle as in "net stop " and then the name of the Oracle service running on your server. You should also add the "/y" flag after the name of the service to automatically stop dependent services.

  • Things to consider before shutting down the Server

    Hi,
    What are all the things to consider before shutting down the Essbase Server?
    Just we need to close the applications and Agent process or do we need to take care any other things also.
    Thanks in Advance

    In order to make sure of a soft shut down, I normally would
    - Disconnect all users
    - Prevent connections
    - Unlock all objects
    - Shut down all databases and applications
    - Shut down the Server Agent

  • Database doesn't shutdown during shutting down the server

    Dear Friends ,
    I have to use the following dcript to use Auto startup and shutdown my Oracle Database in RHEL 4 .
    step 1:

    # chkconfig: 345 99 10
    # description: Oracle auto start-stop script.

  • When launching Firefox, I always get a message that my previous session cannot load, even though I always go to a blank page before shutting down the program.

    When I open the Firefox browser, it tries to reload the last page/tab I was on before shutting down the program the last time. My home page is a blank page, and I always go to that before shutting down.

    I have had exactly this problem - Firefox - version 11, but when I updated all my plug-ins (go to Customize Firefox - about halfway down - '''''Check your plugins''''') and restarted Firefox the problem vanished. Hope this helps as this seems to be a fairly large issue.

  • Do we have an procedure to gracefully shut down the MDS-9513?

    Hello All
    Do we have an procedure to gracefully shut down the MDS-9513?
    Please advise
    Thanks
    Chetan

    Hi Chetan,
    There is no separate command required on MDS switches for a graceful
    shutdown of the MDS switches.
    Disengage the power or down the power source feeding the MDS to
    shutdown the switch.
    The MDS has enough RAM memory and does not require any fschk when it
    will power back UP unlike other vendor switches. The MDS is architected
    that way.
    As a prudence you can take these measures:
    1) Halt I/O or gracefully shutdown the attached servers and hosts
    2) After your servers have been halted, follow the shutdown procedures
    for all attached storage devices
    3) Other tips to keep in mind if you were running HP-UX or AIX onyour
    servers. In this case, you would want to make sure that you have turned
    on static
    domains and persistent FCIDs prior to powering these servers down (this
    would insure that hosts and associated storage come back up with the
    same domains and FCIDs.
    4) Save your switch configuration by doing "copy run start" as well as
    save your configuration externally to a FTP/TFTP server in case you need
    to restore that back.
    After all devices have been shutdown/quiesced, it is okay to simply
    power off the MDS switches.
    Best regards,
    Jim

    We use SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS).
    We get the error only when we shut down the server. The database was created with the database configuration assistant. Thanks

    check the file sqlnet.ora (ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN)where the database is installed for an entry like SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS). If so, disable it.

  • How do I close pages on the macbook pro before shutting down the computer

    I'm pretty new to this Macbook pro, and I'm not sure that I'm closing it down properly.  How do I properly close pages prior to shutting it down.  It's not like my iphone, where I can close pages down at the bottom of the screen.  Thanks

    Hi thanks for replying.  I had figured that out, but I'm more interested in the fact that I think I'm running with multiple facebook pages running.  When I swipe across the pad, it shows another one of my previous facebook sessions.  I don't think I'm closing these pages down the right way.

  • Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?

    When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn.  I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start.  Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?  Am I screwed?  HELP!!

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and  keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
    It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

  • Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

    Previous version had save all tabs before shutting down,which helped a lot if u open same windows always,but this is not there in the latest version I have upgraded recently.Request you to guide me if this can be accommodated in the new version.

    Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Mac OS X take a long time before shutting down...

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem that I can't explain :
    My mac book pro take a long time before shutting down. I don't know why.
    When I click shut down, everything works normally.
    OS X quit my applications, the dock, the finder...
    But it's stay 10 minutes on my desktop background before the logout and finally the shutdown (what's the matter ? what does it do ?).
    I don't know what to do to find the problem...
    Maybe it's a process but I don't know how to localize it.
    What are the minimal processes in OS X (I'll try to find the problem by elimination) ?
    P.S. Sorry for my basic English... French native.
    Thank a lot for your help !

  • Does not start, but when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before sytem shuts down.

    I am having problems with Firefox. When I click on the shortcut, or the .exe file nothing happens. I check task manager to see if it is running and it does not show Firefox is running.
    But when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before the computer shuts down. I have tried starting the browser in safe mode and the same thing happens. I cannot give any troubleshooting info because the browser is not visible for me to click on help or any other button.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

    2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP
