Re: SCN and alertlog file

1.whenever you start instance it starts background processes automactically. PMON ,DBW0, LGWR ,CKPT etc are background processes.

3.In Exclusive mode only the current instance can access database. If it is in parallel mode it allows multiple instances to access database.
