Why don't you want to want to take all the oracle processes down? I thought
that's what you wanted to accomplish with shutdown immediate?
Go ahead and issue Mladen's command and restart the database. It's the only
way you can bring it down if you can't connect with svrmgrl or sqlplus.

Hi All!
I tried shutdown immediate and get ORA-03113.
Now I can't connect to database. How I can take instance down? On this HP
box 10 different databases.
This command was posted some time back by Mladen:
ps -fu oracle|grep -v PPID|awk '{ print $2; }'|xargs kill -9
It's will take all oracle processes and listeners down
which I don't want to do. I'm on Oracle 8.1.6.
Thanks.

RE: Oracle/UNIX vs. Oracle/NT
Sounds like some inverted thinking by management... justify not making the change(?). Usually you would have a cost-based analysis for making the change. I've never seen one that would justify NT (I'd love to see it if they have one). Both Solaris and Linux are alternatives to the OS-specific hardware issues since they run very well on Intel systems. However, when you price out similar Intel-based or Sparc-based hardware, the cost is the same. If they want cheaper hardware, they can buy that. It makes no difference. Since it is already a UNIX shop I am assuming there is no problem finding personnel.

Why does Oracle not automatically recompile package A as it should? Since user 2 was able to recompile the package in its existing state, Oracle should not have failed at doing so. User 2's session instantiation of package A (as well as all of their other instantiated packages) should have been lost when package A was invalidated. I understand that two possible options are: (1) Flush the shared pool after recompiling; and (2) Manually recompile all dependent packages (such as A). The first seems like overkill and will cause performance issues. The second, with many dependencies involved, is not an option.

RE: Invalid packages not being recompiled by Oracle
Thanks Lisa and others, The dbms_utility.compile_schema will work. It is a bit annoying though as this involves six schemas and hundreds of packages to be recompiled. Fortunatly I do keep control and there are no circular dependencies in the packages. I am sending out an order of dependency among the schemas to the appropriate people. The recursive error seems to have been fixed when I patched to 8.0.5.2.1. Has anyone seen it in 8.1.7? It seems to be only for one package that this happens. It is larger than the rest at 6000 lines and 250 KB Modifying the application to execute again isn't really feasible in this case. There are dozens of packages that refer to this packages. Each one would have to be modified and fully regression tested. As far as standard behavior, Oracle is supposed to (and does in all other cases except for this package) automatically recompile any package flagged as invalid at execution time. It should only raise an error when the package in question can not be recompiled. In this case, the user can 'alter package package_name compile' and all is fixed, provided the 'user' is privileged to do so. Obviously, in production there aren't many who can do this. Any thoughts as to how or what could cause this normal behavior to fail? - Paul -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2001 1:20 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L HI Paul, By chance can you use dbms_utility.compile_Schema after recompiling?

I just recreated the control files with the new settings and new name. Thanks, - Paul -Original Message- From: Troiano, Paul (CAP, GEFA) Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 10:56 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Subject:db domain being appended to db links when global_names = false What am I missing? When I create a database link, the db_domain is appended to the db_name even though global_names is false. - This database(dev4) was created using another (awt1) as a model. - The new dev4 database has the problem whereas awt1 does not. - I did a diff on the two init.ora files and found only path and comment differences. - They also share the same tnsnames.ora/sqlnet.ora file (same ORACLE_HOME). - I have 6 instances using the same binaries with dev4 being the only one (and newest) that has the issue. - I commented out the db_domain parameter in the init.ora with no effect (I did bounce the DB). I am using the simple version of the create database statement: create public database link dev4 using 'dev4'; Thanks in advance, - Paul -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Troiano, Paul (CAP, GEFA) 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).

INVALID Packages
I have been experiencing some packages that cannot be automatically handled by Oracle when they become invalidated. Here's the scenario: We have package1 that calls package2 which, in turn, calls package3. Under normal circumstances, if package3's specification gets recompiled, package1(?) and package2 will be marked with a status of INVALID. This flags Oracle to re-parse it and mark the status VALID (excluding any coding errors). The problem comes in to play when, every once in a while, a tester or developer will get an error 6508 - could not find program unit... The fix has been to recompile the package being called by the alter package command. You see the bigger problem here... finding the actual library being referred to! I have to jump into the developers code and walk through the execution. And yes I am trying to get the developers to do this on their own. My question is: What is preventing Oracle from re-parsing the package? It has nothing to do with system load or lack of SGA. We're running Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 on Solaris 2.6 w/latest patchset.

RE: INVALID Packages
I think the problem does go away if they try again. However, the users panic when they see an error message. I just got finished re-writing a section of distributed transaction code that was written so poorly Aargh! You'd think the developers could understand transactions but then you'd be wrong. I'm going home. - Paul -Original Message- Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2001 6:10 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Paul, If the person logs out logs back in, is the problem solved? Or if they try to execute a second time, does the problem go away?
