Dear all,

I have 7.3.4 in NT 4.0. In the NT event viewer, I found some logs which occurs from 2000 till now. The event id is 16 and the event message is :

Instance XXX has been terminated.

However, the database has not been shutdown and there is no error in the alert log file. What is this message means?

Thanks!
Hi,

This is just a warning. When you shutdown database, NT event log generates this message.

I also have similar messages.

Not to worry...
