Ravi, FWIW,
Some random thoughts/ideas: Most likely not the case, and not wishing to cast any aspersions to you, but I take it SYS is not using SYSTEM as temporary tablespace!. Perhaps a large batch process needs to be rolled back before shut down? If you use DBMS_JOB apparently "stuck" tasks on same could be source! Check to see if one or more of Oracle's background processes are eating away CPU time which might provide a clue I take it you've had a look around MetaLink? PS: When you do find the cause please post solution to the list to enlighten us :) ------------------------- Seán O' Neill Organon (Ireland) Ltd.
