ANSWER

Shutting down and starting up the database:

The Empower 3 database is set to automatically start when you power-on the database server. You can shut down the database by stopping the Oracle service (OracleServiceWATn). Before stopping the Oracle service, use the Empower System Monitor in Configuration Manager to confirm that no users are currently connected to the Empower 3 database. To start System Monitor, log in to the Empower 3 software and select View > System Monitor from the Configuration Manager window.

To stop the Oracle service:

1. Log on to the database server as a Windows administrator, click the Windows icon, type and then select Computer Management.

2. In the Computer Management window, expand Services and Applications, and then click Services.

3. In the list of services, right-click OracleServiceWATn, where n varies with the database version, and then select Properties.

4. Click Stop. This stops the database immediately.
