    I am running Oracle8 on Sun Solaris 2.51. My cold backup is giving me some problems. The process itself runs fine, but when the database is brought back up, I start getting core dumps for any kind of sql statement that is ran against the database. You can login to the database but you can not run any sql statements. If I shutdown the database and bring it back up...it's fine. I can not figure what causes this problem. I have checked the listener to make sure it is correct. The whole process is run through a cron job. Could this have anything to do with it? Roots owns the crontab entry and is the owner who runs it.

    How is it shutdown? Make sure you shutdown immediate or shutdown normal before you make a cold backup.

    Well I dont think it will create problem. Right now I am using two instances in the same server, started running simultaneously.

    Only issue is, u must have sufficient RAM size, processor capacity, proper disk I/O load shed and proper Init parameter tuning. Otherwise the server will suffer performance issues.
    ---
    What is the server capacity and its details, oracle version and the database sizes? Max. user sessions expected etc., etc.,
    Thanx
    Ramesh.

    I am sorry, How come my posting goes to wrong thread ?(after reading the thread, by selecting the post reply option, i replied my solution, but it seems to be appearing here.

    sorry guys, it is definitely some technical problem. dbasupport.com - please consider this matter.

    ------------

    Any how for this thread, (cold backup issue) - first of all try restoring the cold backup in your test server. I doubt that whether the backup itself is working fine or not.

    Then we will probe further.
    Thanx
    Ramesh.

    I tested restoring with the cold backup files twice and it works fine. I am wonder it the problem is because root runs the cron job and the owner of the datafiles is oracledb, but that I don't think that should pose a problem.

    Unhappy

    If the backup seems to be okay means,

    It is not the problem because of taking Cold backup or the cron jobs, it might be because of shutdown issues.

    Please try a look at your alert log files and other logfile entries in listener, sqlnet etc., etc.,

    I cant able to probe this peculiar problem. Never and ever heard such a thing.

    Can you paste the log file entries.
    Thanx
    Ramesh.

    Hi,

    I have tried my best from Oracle Meta link,

    I think it is the high time to call Oracle Support team. Please proceed so, if you wish, and dont forget to post the solution, once the bug fixed.

    Thanx
    Ramesh.
