Hi Guys,

Version 10.2.0.5.

ALTER SYSTEM DISABLE/ENABLE DISTRIBUTED RECOVERY;

Even if i disable the above, when i do a ps -ef | grep reco, I can still see the process running. Is it normal?
In this case, how can i know the whether process has been enabled or disabled?

There's some issue with one of my database.
The reco doesn't seems to be clearing away my in-doubt transaction automatically.. this is causing problem <locking> and I have to manually resolve the in-dount transaction.

Any idea why?

thanks
