Could someone tell me what the OracleCSService service does, and when
its needed? I have a batch file that starts and stops a local database
on my (windows) PC, and this service I set (once off) by hand to manual
start/stop, and stopped the service. I stop the Oracle server with the
following barch file:

net stop OracleDBConsoleDRB1
oradim -shutdown -sid DRB1 -usrpwd mypassword -shuttype srvc,inst
-shutmode i

and start it again with

oradim -startup -sid DRB1 -usrpwd mypassword -starttype srvc,inst
net start OracleDBConsoleDRB1

All seems to work fine. Just wondering what the OracleCSService does.

Thanks

Dean

If you are not using RAC or Automatic Storage Manager (ASM), then you

Ok thanks. Doyou know what the OracleDBConsoleXXXX service is also? Its
doesn't start if my network cable is unplugged, but apart from that
everything seems to work.

This service is used to run Oracle Enterprise Manager. If you installed
Oracle while connected to the network then this service will not start
when disconnected. I have seen few posts on the metalink with work
around to resolve this. You would have to search for it yourselves.

Ok that's alright, my client EMC still works fine.

Thanks!
