It is taking a lot of time for the database to shutdown. Here I am doing a shutdown immediate,Doing a cold backup and again starting the database.

Whats the time at which the complete shutdown takes place.. Is it 4:38:28 or is it 5:40:09 ?
In this case the sequential command in my shell script to copy the db files starts immediately after 04:38:28. Is this correct?

Is the database shuting down completely at all? because the error " SHUTDOWN: Active sessions prevent database close operation "
is shown.


The following is the snippet from the database alert log.

Fri Dec 8 03:37:10 2006

You don't mention what version of Oracle you are on, but for 9.2 and above the timeout is 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, the shutdown will be canceled. You should investigate what 'oraprod' is doing to prevent shutdown.

What more is there to answer? You start the shutdown at 3:37 and as indicated in the alert log an hour later (4:38) the shutdown cancels (ie. the database is NOT shutdown).
