I've seen this before with the Java EM on both 9i and 10g. It appears = that Java just gets confused after several days of staying open, and me = having around a dozen different apps/windows running on my PC, opening and closing numerous programs, etc. Several times I just had to do a reboot and it all started working okay again. ------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Ferguson U.S. Geological Survey - Minerals Information Team PO Box 25046, MS-750 Denver, Colorado 80225 Voice (303)236-8747 ext. 321 Fax (303)236-4208 ~ Think on a grand scale, start to implement on a small scale ~ -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx = [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of robyn.sands@xxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 10:44 AM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Enterprise Manager - connection issues Hello all, As of today, I can no longer connect to any of my databases with Enterprise Manger, but I can connect via SQL*Plus and Performance Manager. I don't get any error message - the 'OK' button appears to depress, but there is no hour glass, no response. Has any one seen this before? It's very likely that the desktop nazis made changes to my machine when I logged in to the domain today, but getting an answer as to the changes made is unlikely - especially since I'm one of the bad ones that doesn't reconnect everyday. I've tried a reinstall - no luck tia ... Robyn -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
