Re: OEM: Shutdown database

[JOE TESTA]

1. you need to have an external password file created. 2.  you need to add the userid you want to shutdown the database to that password file by  grant sysdba to username 3.  you might have to change the init.ora file, the remote_login_passwordfile entry.   joe   >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/14/01 02:56PM >>> I am using OEM and have connected to my database, a test DB I just created (my first actually). I can't seem to shut it down.  The options to SHUTDOWN are grayed out.  I have connected as SYSTEM and SYS and the user I created the DB with!  I went to the enable roles option and enabled the roles that I could, such as DBA. Would someone explain what I am missing, even if it is where to go and RTFM.  I don't have any Real manuals but can find the virtual ones online. When I try changing connect as to SYSOPER or SYSDBA I get "invalid password/user name" TIA -           Arich H. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Arich Henneman   INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services    -- (858) 538-5051  FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California        -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).  You may also send the HELP command for other information (like subscribing).
