Database/Instance Will Not Stop Due to Connections
If when stopping the instance or database you receive messages about open connections preventing the shutdown and you want to force a shutdown, then use the ingstop command with the -f and -k flags. Try first with -f and if that still does not stop, then add -f -k.
Doing this will require recovery and the next startup will take longer.
