Unable to shutdown DB - Only ABORT works

Hi,
I just cloned a DB onto a Solaris 5 box with Oracle 7.3.4 from an AIX.
There were only a few transactions done by 1 user which probably had some sorting ; which used the temp tablespace probably.
When I tried to shutdown the DB - It wont ; I waited for 3 hours and tried an ABORT / Startup / Shutdown immediate. Still hangs for a long time. 2 hours and waiting.
Alert Log shows -- Waiting for smon to disable tx recovery.
I increased the "nice" priority for SMON thinking maybe it may help; but cant see any diff as of now.
I am thinking of leaving it for another few more hours to see if it would shutdown "immediate".
I read a few metalink notes : 1076161.6 / 61997.1 ; but the fet$ count sticks at a value and doesnt increase ( as per the document )
If this doesn't shut down in another 6 hours, will a constant "shu abort" cause any issues to the data ? I cant leave it for more than this time for it to shutdown gracefully.
Any Advice please ?
Thank you.

Abort for the shutdown won't create as such any severe issue(s) for the db with the only impact that the next time, database would be requiring recovery to be done and this can take from no time to very significant time even , depending on the number of transactions happened in the last life of the database. Before doing an abort, if you really have to do so, issue an "alter system checkpoint" . This would ensure that the buffers from the cache is flushed to the datafile and on next startup, number of buffers requiring recovery should be less.
That said, a quick search over Google, gave this thread for the same error. Check it out and hope it helps.

  • I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off).  Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

    It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off).  Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi,  it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)?  Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

    Roger that.  Thanks for your time.

    Yes. tried the one ram stick, no go.  I have been trying to boot off/install the windows 7 disk but am unable to get to the point where windows starts installing after its gathering information portion of the install.  I can get to the disk selection screen of the install with the WD HD on SATA port 2 but then get the "cant install messages" when I try to select the Vertex 3.  Yes I can see the Vertex 3 Drive as well as the WD drive at this point.  some times I have to hit "scan" a couple of times.

    Also try these steps:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • Why after updating to ios 7 on iphone 4g do I have 2 facebook icons?  Only one works.  How do I get rid of the other one?

    I recently update to the new ios 7 software on iphone 4.  Now I have 2 app icons for facebook.  Only one works and opens facebook.  How do I get rid of the other?  Tried deleting it out the old way but it has no "x" to take it out with?

    okay never mind.  I powered off and back on and the second not working icon is gone.  So if anybody else has this same problem, give it a try

  • Is it possible to modify the Calendar object to only show working days?

    Is there a way to configure the Calendar selection, duration calculations, and notification dates in the system to only include working days (i.e. holidays and weekends are not counted and not available for selection)? This is particlular for Purchasing and Sourcing Modules.
    Thank you.

    This can be changed through registry:

    You can do the change through group policy preferences, or some other method you prefer (ConfigMgr compliance settings for example).

  • Can Contacts be set to display only enterprise (work) email contacts upon first opening?

    I have installed my personal Yahoo Mail on my 9810 Torch; as a result, the Contacts list now includes a mix of work and personal when first pulled up.  I can then change it to display only one of my contacts lists (work or personal), but that requires several thumb fiddles every time.  Is there a way to have the Contacts display default to only my work contacts displayed upon opening?

    Hello forrest103 and welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for your question regarding the contacts on your BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810 smartphone.
    By design, the BlackBerry will display all contacts when you launch the Address Book.
    You would need to use the Filter option to view your personal separately from your work contacts.
    Hope this answers your question.

  • Read-only forms work great - page fails to load on interactive form.

    we have a weird issue.
    we moved all our Adobe development (which was all new) to our QA environment.
    Our 1 interactive form fails to even display, while all the other read only forms work fine.
    I changed my interactive form to ENABLED off (unchecked) and moved it to QA - and it displays fine. I changed ENABLED = checked, and it's not working.
    any ideas?

    chintan,
    we figured this out late yesterday - I was selecting all the business partners for a drop-down list in the form . It turns out another developer loaded 30k business partners in RPM. So, this was causing the form to blow up.

  • Installing application in shutdown script does not work

    Hello,
    I'm trying to organise the deployment of office 2013. I want to give users the choice between installation during startup and installation during shutdown of their computer.
    Installation during startup works fine: installation starts and the user can use their computer and wait for the installation to finish in the background.
    Installation initiated from a console window works fine as well.
    However, installation using a shutdown script doesn't work as the installation command returns immediatly, the script ends and the computer shuts down.
    I have changed the gpo script timeout setting.
    In the powershell script, I execute the installation using "start-process" with the option "-wait". It seems like this command returns immediatly and the setup is never executed as it does not start logging the installation progress to
    a local log file.
    The shutdown script runs fine and it also logs its progress to a logfile on a network share so I'm sure the script actually runs and it has network access as well.
    Any clues as to why the installation might fail during a shutdown script and work fine in other situations? Thanks!
    I'm not sure if this is a gpo or an office 2013 deployment question. I'm thinking the environment during execution of a shutdown script might be different so that's why I'm asking my question here.

  • Created 2 slideshows, but only 1 works??

    Hi there
    I have created two slideshows, but only one works. I have
    reverted back to the tradisional tile layout of images of the one
    that does not work, but that is not what my client wants.
    The one that works can be viewed at
    Catering
    The images of the one that does not work can be viewed at
    Gallery
    I am using the same player in both cases. I have tested both
    on my laptop using all browsers I could think of. After I FPT'ed
    the files to the hositng server, the Gallery does not display
    anything in the "Image Viewer". Thumnails, headers, etc are
    displayed.
    Any suggestions? I am at a complete loss.
    P.S.: I am using Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3.
    Many thanx

  • Why is it when I plug in any headphone that only one works?

    Why is it when I plug in any headphones that only one works?

    the song is in mono or only one track
    one of your headphones is broken
    there's something wrong internally in your iPod.
    Try different songs to see if all of them only play on one side. also try apps to see if the sound is on one side or both.
    Try a different set of headphones/ear buds to see if they sound different
    if neither of the above fixes it then you may want to have Apple check out the device and see if the jack is broken

  • Adobi sc6 will it work on windows 7 32 bit computer my copy seems to be only half working

    can anyone help with this question. its only half working and i cant get things done

    Not sure why you haven't had a reply all this time, but yes, CS6 will work on a 32 bit system, but you are going to be very short of RAM.  What do you think is missing?   The 3D menu will not work unless you have the Extended version of Photoshop, and I believe you need at least 1Gb of video RAM.

  • 2g shuffle only half working

    I've recently changed from a pc to mac, Silver mac book osx, my ipod now only half works. It auto fills but won't auto sync. Half the file controls are greyed out in the menu. This includes the find duplicates command. My itunes as already duplicated over half my library when I entered my music back off my external hard drive so I need this. Tonight I tried to load itunes with some new content and found I can't load a play list ei recently added and then auto fill the rest. Why not I could do this on a pc? I the tried to fill it manually and it duplicated the albums I added manually ,1 had each song 4 times. my playlists won't sync with the pod either. I thoughgt mac's where better this is as bad if not worse then my pc this is also coming on the same day i've been told my printers unsuported with drivers by either apple or lexmark and is basically a paper weight. Is my shuffle basically stuffed as well? I've done the 3 r's every time I've charged/refilled the thing.

    iTunes in Windows and the Mac operate exactly the same way.
    If you are having problems is will be due to how you have set up iTunes.
    Your post is not very clear to be honest and I am struggling to understand exactly what you are trying to say.
    You have trown to many issues and questions into the same post and it is hard to see what you are trying to get an answer for. Do you have an issue with your iPod or iTunes?
