SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.

Hello,
environment is HPUX 11.23, Oracle Version is 9.2.0.5
We had an ORA-600 error yesterday. We reported that error to the support and were suggested to install patch 9.2.0.8.
However i have one question. As you can see from the output in the alert-logfile it took a very long time to shutdown the instance using the immediate option:
Sun Nov 9 17:33:58 2008
Shutting down instance: further logons disabled
Shutting down instance (immediate)
License high water mark = 454
Sun Nov 9 17:39:07 2008
Active call for process 3991 user 'oracle' program 'oracle@xyz (TNS V1-V3)'
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete.
Sun Nov 9 17:50:36 2008
ALTER DATABASE CLOSE NORMAL
Is there anything one can do in such a situation to speed up the shutdown of the instance ?

Rajabaskar Thangaraj,
Oracle database has a job facility and a streams/advanced queuing facility.
These facilities are possible by setting up a few ancillary processes.
Those parameters govern the number of processes.
Setting them to 0 will disable the facility completely.
As you alter the parameter in memory, as you as you have bounced the database, it will be back to the value in the spfile and the facilities will work again.
Disabling them is especially useful when you the facilities are frequently used, ie you have a job running every 30 seconds.
In the past, on several databases, this was the only way to allow a shutdown immediate.
Hope this helps,

Hi nonie
Oracle shutdown Problem
If the following message is in the Oracle alert file:

you should change the SERVER and SRVR parameters from SHARED to DEDICATED in the file <ORACLE_HOME>\network\ADMIN\tnsnames.ora.

IMessage Facetime Waiting for Activation...

I am currently out of the country trying to use my iphone 4S, and I am not able to use iMessage or FaceTime with WiFi. After I turn them on in the settings tab, it just says "waiting for activation..." How do I fix this? I currently have a non-ATT sim card installed and I am able to make calls and regular text messages. I have tried to restore my phone and it still did not fix this. Any ideas on how to fix my imessage?

Have you tried all of the following:
If you still can't send or receive iMessages
To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
iOS: Troubleshooting cellular data
Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, try the following:
Sign in to iMessage on your device using a valid Apple ID. After you validate the email address for use with iMessage, other iMessage users can connect to you using that email address. If you encounter issues registering or using an Apple ID account:
Ensure you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at myinfo.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this webpage.
Ensure that your date, time, and time zone are set correctly. If your country has recently made a daylight saving time (DST) change, it may be necessary to manually set the time zone to one that matches your local time.
Check that your email address is verified in Settings > Messages > Receive At.
If Settings > Messages > Receive At shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages.
iPhone automatically registers your phone number for use with iMessage during activation. If you encounter issues activating or using iMessage with your phone number:
Verify that you are connected to a cellular network.
Toggle iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages.
If you are unable to activate iMessage on a device after remote wiping it, wait at least 24 hours and try again.

Waiting for Activation i have an iphone 3g. iphone is from my old contract and i have given it to my girlfriend. she then went to the O2 store and they gave her a new sim card which is compatable with iphone 3g. O2 have told me the phone is not blocked.

" fault code,,,,,waiting for activation, this may take some time,,,,," O2 gave my gf the contract and the new sim card to go into my old iphone 3g which was with O2 previous, O2 have assured us that the phone's imei number is not blocked, they have also said the sim is activated and there is no reason why the phone should not work. the phone is out of date warranty. the sim card does work in other handsets, also my sim from my iphone 3gs does not work in the iphone 3g. i have spent hours litterally on the phone to O2 and now to apple, but because i am out of warranty apple want £25 just to even listen to me over the phone. someone please help me. i am getting very frustrated for hopefully what might be an easy fix for someone. i have done all the resets that are possibly humainly possible, i have done all the resores you can do, have sync'd on many occasions all to come up with the same fault. i am still getting O2 in the top left corner but with no bars and when trying to call it fails imediately. wifi is fine, it works as an ipod.

ONLY AT&T can legally/legitimately unlock it. No one else at all.

Imessage working fine, tried to add email as well as number then it stopped! Now just says waiting for activation!

I tried to add an email address to imessage as well as my number so my friend could email me from their ipad.
Firstly it said there was a problem with my apple ID password so i reset that (new password works fine, i have been able to download apps etc since!)
Now under iMessage it just says waiting for activation.. and it is only here i get the message saying my password is incorrect?!
I have tried rebooted and restarted phone many times.
I can no longer send imessages to other iphones, just texts! Its driving me mad!
why will it not recognise my password?! i even tried adding an extra email account and verified that with the password - worked fine!
HELPPPPPPP

IMessage not working - stuck on "waiting for activation"

Hello all,
I have had my iPhone 4 since June 2011 and have had no issues with it until the past few days. I noticed that I was having troubles sending iMessages to fellow iPhone users - something I never had issues with before. Now and again a message here or there would send as text rather than iMessage, but it always went back to iMessage after a short time. This morning however, iMessage was completely not working, with anyone - I even sent a test text to myself, and even that would not send as an iMessage (normally it would). Reading through various Apple Forums it told me to try to turn off, then turn back on my iMessage feature....however, as soon as I turned it off and tried to turn it back on, it stalls at "waiting for activation" and now does not work at all. I have been waiting for roughly an hour, and still nothing.
I have tried a hard reset. I have tried various "fixes" found on Apple forums, but it still is not working. Has anyone else had this problem and do you know a fix? I'm not sure whether this is an iPhone issue or an issue with Verizon's carrier service. Any help is very much appreciated.

Something might be really wrong.
Do u have good signal. It might wait for activation if not a really good data connection because our house is not having trouble with that part.
I have have had an iphone since april 2011 and ive had a problem recently as it sends as text although I have iMessage on and send as text off. I know imesage is only iphone to apple product. It one way doesent recognize the recipent is an iphone or apple product. But sending back it worked. Also it shows as an iMessage but then turns into a text.
Verizon tech support and customer service blamed it on apple also said have a text block on verizon end of the phone to solve it but I have a text block on the phone that it comes with saying it wont send as text if imessage wont work. They didn't believe there's such thing but whatever. I think a text block on Verizon thats just a work around but i think there should be a real resolution and not blame apple for everything. I have had less issues with this then others. I like to text and understand costs for it but I shouldn't be charged for a messege to another iPhone when I have done all procautions. I like to pay for things that i desirve and not things that technically if things work right. both phones have ios5 or above both have I messege on and send as text off. This has happened off and on for awhile but it has been months since it happened last and I got charged for 7 texts sent and 7 recieved.
Sorry for the rant but I see I'm not the only one.
When I send a messege with 2 people it sent as a picture message. Is that normal?

IMessage is waiting for activation. Please help!

Please help me!
I keep getting "waiting for activation" on my iMessage. I can only send/receive iMessage from my email address, NOT my phone number.
Under Receive at, my phone number isn't listed at all and I have no way of adding it.
I've checked under setting > phone > my number. And the phone # is listed correctly. (I live in Indonesia so it's +62xxxxx).
And I'm not sure if this is connected or not, but under setting > phone > show my caller ID, the ON button is greyed out.
A little history & weird problems I encountered:
My iPhone 4S was stolen about a month ago (I'm still ****** about it).I did a remote wipe on it and I figured the person who stole is has thrown away the SIM card because the number isn't active anymore.
So I just bought a brand new iPhone 4S and a new number again. I synced it to iTunes and upgraded it to iOS 5.1 then I did a restore from my old back up. Everything was fine except for the iMessage. It shows "waiting for actvation". When I tap under Receive At, the email address is listed as well as my OLD phone number (the one that was stolen). It was greyed out and the status was "verying" which later turned to "error". I have no way of editing or removing that old number. When I connect my iPhone to iTunes, the phone # was shown as n/a on iTunes, but after 30 mins or so, it will appear.
So I did a restore again and this time set is as a new iPhone. The old phone number is now gone, but only my email address is listed. I can't input my phone number there.
I have done all kind of fixing suggestions that I can find online, but nothing works so far.
- Date & time set as automatic (I don't know why this matter, but mine was already set as automatic from the begining)
- Reset network setting
- Changing the DNS to 8.8.8.8.
- Restore to factory setting (from back up & as new iPhone)
- Turning on/off iMessage & facetime
- Sign out/in of apple ID
- Change location from apple ID
- Hard reset/reboot
And many others.
Is this an error on my iPhone or maybe the iOS or is it the carrier?
Any input is greatly appreciated!

If you are in the UK:
Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

How to get rid of "Waiting for Activation" on old iphone 3G?

Ok I just upgraded to the new 4 & planned on giving my old 3G to my son to play games, music, photos etc.
I'm in the process of re-syncing it with everything for him
But there seems to be a message on the screen "Waiting for Activation, this may take some time"
How do I get that to go away as I will NOT be activating this phone again, but it will basically be used like an ipod touch?
Thanks.

Turn Airplane mode on followed by turning on wi-fi access.
The no longer activated SIM card will need to be inserted in the iPhone to restore the iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed and to install a firmware update or to complete the process - the SIM card that was used with the iPhone when it was activated.

IMessage is stuck on "Waiting for Activation"

I changed my phone number and not my carrier, and within the first 15 min I could send a text message and then it started having problems and couldn't send a message. I went into iMessanger and it's my old number as the "sending number"... I tried following alot of fix-it tutorials with NO luck, I have even done a complete factory reset and it's still stuck on the "waiting for activation" and I can receieve texts but I can no longer send any at all, not regular SMS or an iMessage. I AM SO FRUSTRATED! Help!!!!

I live in Costa Rica, I have an iPhone 5, updated to iOs 8, deactivated iMessage to enable sms on Yosemite. Anyway, reactivated iMessage and it just says Waiting for activation, and I get strange international SMS's every 1-3 hours. Seems like the iPhone doesn't recognize these activation SMS's. Tried everything I have found: resetting, restoring, etc. Please help.

Waiting for activation have not found a way to fix this

Ok so I'm overseas and I cannot use cellular data because I don't want to get billed a crazy amount however when using wifi the first week I was here I was able to text and face time with no problem. Then we went for a week to the country with no solid internet connection however we set up a very weak hotspot using a tablet, that's when I noticed I wasn't able to text and I saw the message waiting for activation since it took around 5 mins to load a web page I figured it was just a problem with the internet and I ignored it. Now we are back in the city (where we were when it worked fine the first week) and I still have the same problem, I have read countless articles about how to fix this and nothing seems to work the only option I haven't tried is to wipe the phone and restore it with a backup however i can't do that since I am no where near my computer. So is there any one else having the same waiting for activation problem as me? Is there anything I can do, any help would be much appreciated.

Hello there, Captnpnut.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great, in-depth and practical steps for troubleshooting the "Waiting for Activation" message:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
Particularly relevant for your issue:
If you see "Waiting for Activation", "Activation unsuccessful", or "An error occurred during activation"
These messages occur when your iPhone is trying to activate your phone number with iMessage or FaceTime.
To resolve these status messages, follow these steps. After each step, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Make sure that you have a cellular network connection with your cellular provider. You need a cellular network connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Go to www.apple.com in Safari to make sure that you have a data connection. You need a data connection to activate iMessage and FaceTime with your iPhone phone number.
Make sure that you can send and receive SMS. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime and iMessage.
Make sure that FaceTime hasn't been restricted: tap Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Set iPhone to the correct time zone: tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messages. Restrictions, blocks, or filters on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration from completing.
If "Waiting for Activation" still appears after you perform these steps, turn FaceTime and iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime. You may need to wait up to 24 hours to complete activation. Most attempts will take less than an hour, but some attempts may take up to 24 hours. If your issue isn't resolved after 24 hours, please contact Apple for assistance. If you've recently performed a remote wipe on your iPhone, wait 24 hours from the time you performed the remote wipe, and then turn iMessage off then back on.You can still activate iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID when these status messages appear. You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by tapping:
Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Re: My iMessage still says "Waiting for activation..." Jun 17, 2012 10:04 PM (in response to bradfromwinnipeg)
Hi All,
This problem is solved for me, with some help from the carriers. At last
Let me describe my situation once again.
I am from India, where the official iPhone carriers are Airtel and Aircel.
I have two prepaid connections - One from Airtel and one from Reliance GSM
Whenever I try to activate iMessage from my Reliace SIM, it shows activation unsuccessful, the the receive at shows my email ID only.
But whenever I try activate it using Airtel SIM, it activates just fine. But since my primary connection is the Reliance one, I wanted it to get activated for Reliance.
I have tried every tweaks/restore etc mentioned in this discussion, but nothing worked.
The solution:
This does not require any jailbreak/restore. Just a little help from the carrier.
For all reliance GSM customers in India, you can just try to activate in again. I think they have solved it for all customers.
I was almost lost hope of activating imeesage on Reliance. But then one of my friends bought a new iphone (4S). He had a docomo connection, and he also had this same issue. But using his contacts in docomo, he enabled some trace in his connection, and found out that the phone was trying to send SMS to a UK number (short code), which is blocked by their RA team.
This is that magic number : 00445773142076
So from him, I got the number. I raised a complaint with Reliance.
The complaint had nothing about imessage, but it said: "I am unable to send international SMS to the number 00445773142076, even after having sufficient balance and an active SMS plan"
So they have done some 'unblocking' and called me this morning and asked to try again 'sending sms to the same number' . I went to settings and activated imessage and facetime/ Thats it !!!!.
A big thanks to Reliance GSM support for the quick solution.
For anyone on Reliance GSM in India, just try activating it now.
For others, log a complaint with the carrier that "you want to send SMS to the number 00445773142076.
Thanks all
