Did you try to refresh the nodes? You can do a clean start on the Oracle agents involved. There is a procedure on metalink to do that. -----Original Message----- From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 4:08 PM To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Error executing OEM jobs I'm stumped. Version is Oracle Enterprise 9.2.0.7 OEMCTL version 9.2.0.1 - I haven't found a newer 9i version. I am trying to execute jobs from the OEM console. Up until last week, things were good. I performed the July 06 Security patch and it seems like I have lost the ability on some, but not all, servers to execute jobs. The only error that I'm seeing for the history of the job is: Failed to initialize job process This happens on most of our servers but not all. We are running Solaris 9 on everything. Anyone have an idea where to look. I've spent the day searching for some further information about what is happening and I've come up short..
