hi all, I have got one doubt. Is it possible to set username for the background processes which is normally blank and osuser column contains value "SYSTEM". Why I am asking is because I have noticed that for some time my server showing a BG Process username as ORACLE_RECO_070316. I don know why its showing this? Can anyone put some light on this? -- Thanks & Regards, T. Onkar Nath Ph : +91-9826728111(Cell) to_onkar@xxxxxxxxx onkarnath.tiwary@xxxxxxxxx -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
