Hi orville,
          We have several machines running oracle and ADSM clients but never
faced any problems. This includes ORACLE connect agent. Are you mentioning
the problem on the catalog database of an ORACLE CONNECT AGENT installation
or a ADSM Client installation. If it is an Adsm client problem then you
could simply try and do a reinstall of the client with the default
parameters and then test it out. Parameters not set properly could adversely
affect the performance of your network.

Thanks

Sri
