Mr.Nick,

Sorry for the confusion I have created.
If you can invest some more time,this is what I have done.

"I restarted my Windows Database instance(Data2) and tried login from the Windows OTM instance(OTM2).
But ended up with the same error(I am not supposed to touch Unix Database.So just tried restart with Windows DB)."

Since you have suggested to shutdown both OTM instances,I thought that you are talking about both DB instances.So I restarted ONLY Windows DB instance.That is what I have mentioned in the above stmt.

I did exactly what you have suggested i.e I have shutdown both OTM instances,tried to connect my Windows OTM instance to the DB instance previously being used by Unix OTM instance.
But as before I am unable to login even though I am using previous DB.
But I am getting diff error with this DB instance.

Previously,I was gettting "Table or View doesn't exist/Access denied for DBA.ADMIN".
But this time I got
INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/06/11 12:57:14 | java.lang.NullPointerException
INFO | jvm 1 | 2008/06/11 12:57:14 | at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver.connect(OracleDriv er.java:592)

I hope I conveyed the info with less confusion now.

Appreciate any updates at this point..

Thanks,
Durga
