Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: beq processes preventing shutdown
Paul,
My guess is that these are orphaned connections (a user killed his sqlplus connection and the unix network process did not go away).
You could, as part of the shutdown performed by your sysadmin, include a simple script that produces a report of all sessions that are currently connected to the database. Query the v$session view. A simple report using the query below would give you the information regarding who is connected when the shutdown is being attempted:
SELECT username,server,status,osuser,machine,terminal, program,
TO_CHAR(logon_time,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
FROM v$session
WHERE username IS NOT NULL
PS - is your sysadmin performing a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE or a SHUTDOWN?
A SHUTDOWN waits for all connected processed to disconnect, while a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE terminates all connected processes and shuts the db down.
Good luck!

Paul - So you are saying that shutdown immediate doesn't? I had this happen awhile back and most suggestions were that there was a process that wasn't ever going idle. Check your alert log for the following message:
SHUTDOWN: waiting for active calls to complete The posters suggested that I would probably end up doing what you are suggesting. In my case the problem hasn't recurred yet.

Our sysadmin tells me he's been experiencing problems sometimes, when trying to shutdown an Oracle 8.1.7 instance on a Solaris 64-bit environment. The shutdown "hangs up", and he can see processes like the following:
oraclePROD (DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))
>From searching around, I've been able to ascertain that these "beq" processes are probably created by the listener in response to connect requests, but beyond that, I'm stumped!
All I've been able to advise is that he replace his "shutdown immediate" with a 3-step "shutdown abort / startup restrict / shutdown immediate" sequence, which should prevent being hung up by any "beq processes", but I'd rather feel I'd solved the problem, rather than merely sidestepping it!
Any ideas what may be causing this, and what the remedy might be?
