Hi jmodic

Thanks for your reply.

There are no jobs scheduled/running. Moreover, no similar message like ...

"Initializing PGA for process SNPn in instance prod".

is also not there, the application log of event viewer is only filled with

"Instance hris has been terminated"

However, the developers have implemented connection pooling for the db connection using code in ASP, JAVA, etc...
I suspect that this is the problem. ?? What do you think ?

Thanks & Regards.
