cannot shutdown - file 1 has online backup set?

CLUTCH DBAJan 21 2010 — edited Mar 1 2011
Yesterday, I had a request to restart a production database at 4:30 PM.

I issued "shutdown immediate" and got the error "cannot shutdown - file 1 has online backup set".

So ran a "shutdown abort" and then a "alter database end backup;".

I have 2 questions.

1. Why can't I shutdown with an online backup set?

2. Did I handle this situation correctly. If not, what is the correct action.

thanks,

Oracle Newbie
