you will find the underlying error by looking at the alert&lt;SID&gt;.log file, which is in the folder indicated by the bdump setting in the pfile/spfile.<br />

It is never good when one of Oracle's background processes (PMON, SMON, DBWR, ARCH, etc.) terminate with an error. &nbsp;This apparently happened right after you tried to do: &quot;shutdown immediate;&quot;. &nbsp;Is that correct?<br />
<br />
You may have to look in the alert_[SID].log file or in the [SID]_dbw*.log file for more information, if you want to figure out what caused the ORA-00471 error.<br />
<br />
I would try a &quot;startup;&quot; to see if that succeeds. &nbsp;If it does, you may be OK. &nbsp;But,it would be good to take a backup now just to be safe.

Hi,<br />
<br />
this is what oracle recommends :<br />
<br />
[oracle@ed-olraclin68a oracle]$ oerr ora 471<br />
00471, 00000, &quot;DBWR process terminated with error&quot;<br />
// *Cause: &nbsp;The database writer process died<br />
// *Action: Warm start instance<br />
[oracle@ed-olraclin68a oracle]$ <br />
<br />
just restart the database.<br />
<br />
good luck :)

Hi,

this is what oracle recommends :

[oracle@ed-olraclin68a oracle]$ oerr ora 471
00471, 00000, "DBWR process terminated with error"
// *Cause:  The database writer process died
// *Action: Warm start instance
[oracle@ed-olraclin68a oracle]$

just restart the database.

good luck :)
