Hello,
we have the same issue when using brbackup to backup our Oracle DB in SAP Sourcing Solution.
Brbackup tries to "shutdown immediate" database but active sessions prevent database close :
orady4 15449 1 0 Jan18 ? 00:00:00 oracleDY4 (LOCAL=NO)
orady4 16403 15449 0 Jan18 ? 00:00:00 /oracle/DY4/112_64/ctx/bin/ctxhx /tmp/drgibpBi0ed /tmp/drgitPPYej2 ASCII8 utf8 H NOMETA 120 HEURISTIC FORMAT NOPDFROTATE /tmp/drgitmpf5ZtnR ENCRYPTED
In alert.log we can see :
Shutting down instance (immediate)
Stopping background process SMCO

Does anyone know how to proceed? how to stop/start ctxhx process?
