Search Again: Oracle Service Crash From: Adrian Lazar Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2003 Time: 10:26:15 am Hello there, Let me begin by saying that I am no DBA but I've been assigned the job of troubleshooting an archive product that uses Oracle as a database. I'm having a bit of a problem finding out why our Oracle database crashes sometimes after performing cold backups. The database is not shutdown during the cold backup period and it is also not in use by either the archive product or other users. On the other hand, it has been noted that it is not always affected by the cold backup. For example, the database crashed on 09/17, 09/18, 09/25, 10/08, and 10/09 even though cold backups ran every night. Right now I am speculating that Oracle has sometimes open processes that use certain files during the cold backup period and that might be the reason why it crashes. Would someone help me out find an answer to this problem? Thanks lots! Adrian
