SGA: allocation forcing component growth

Oracle 11g - 11.1.0.7
Redht 5.3 4GB RAM
SGA MAX Size 1GB
SGA_target 800M
pga_aggregate_target = 600MB
========================
SQL> SHOW SGA:
Total system Global Area 1043886080
Fixed size: 2166288
Variable Size: 1002439152
Database Buffers: 33554432
redo Buffers 5726208
==========================
I was notified by 11g DB control that I need to increase my SGA size to 1000M (1GB) from 800M. I went into the server option/Intitialization file (I am using SPFILE) and only increased it by 50mb, making the SGA 850M total. I did not use the "impliment" option to increase the SGA to 1GB like 11g suggested - because normally, 800M suffices.
However, after I went into my initialization parameters, edited the "CURRENT' intit paramaters to reflect the new sga_target to be: 850MB vs. 800M, hit apply, and it just sits there waiting. I clicked on the 'Active Sessions' link on the main DB control page showing a wait activity, and I found the session that states: SGA: allocating forcing component growth." No error message, just sitting there trying to add the additonal 50MB to the current 800MB. I normally have no issues doing this, it recently started. Have I consumed all my availabe memory that Oracle can use?
Like I said, I only have 4GB in the box. Can I kill the session that is trying to execute the SQL to increase the SGA size?
Thanks,
Rob

  • Allocation at component level

    Hi,
    Is it possible to check component allocation at characteristic level other than 'plant'. e.g. sales org or customer
    If yes, please let me know how to do it.
    As per my understanding if allocation at the component is configured using other characteristic values, multi-level availability check ignores the components.
    Regards,
    RS

    Hi,
    I am trying to carry out MATP with allocations maintained at component level. Allocations are maintained in planning area at material - location combination.
    The issue is, allocations maintained at parent material are getting considered but not at component level.
    For your information, multilevel check functionality in APO availability check is getting triggered when I create sales order in ECC for parent materail i.e. I can see the navigation structure and missing parts list.
    But the purpose is to restrict confirmations at parent material based on allocation restrictions at component level.
    Let me know if you need further inputs.
    Regards,
    RS

  • About SGA  Allocation in 9i

    When SGA is initialized and when it will be allocated ? Whether in nomount or mount stage?
    For example,
    If the SHARED_POOL size is greater than the SGA_MAX_SIZE , When the error will be thrown WHEN WE STARTUP THE DATABASE , whether in NOMOUNT or MOUNT STAGE ?.

    Sorry mate I don't understand your question?
    OP? Operating from operating system? Sorry if I missed something.
    The SGA may not get all of the memory it requests initially for example AIX says yep the memory is available but logically allocates the memory and even steals pages back afterwards if they are unused to reallocate to other processes.
    There are options in AIX to stop stealing of memory from the SGA but AIX is very good at allocating pages and its a memory efficiency/performance feature.
    Windows on the other hand I know less about. The parameter PRE_PAGE_SGA is worth reviewing depending on your operating system Windows, HP-UX, VMS, Solaris, Linux and IBM AIX.

  • SGA allocation

    Hello folks,
    We have a dataguard setup with primary database on 10.2.0.3 on AIX. I have kept all the parameters same in parameter file but querying SHOW SGA gives different results on primary database and DR database which causes ORA-04030 - Out of memory error. Can you please suggest some guidance?

    Why primary and DR Variable size & Database buffers is different?

    Though my database is small and max 50 users connect at a time on primary. I got this error on DR and never received the same error or any memory error on primary site. that wonders me..!!I am not sure how good you explore below threads, but if these do not helps more then may be a bug and Oracle support is the solution :

  • ORA 04030 Out of process memory error

    Dear experts,
    I know there are multiple discussions around this error and I have been reading through most of them in the past one week or so, but looks like we are running out of options or are missing the color altogether. Ok, we are getting ORA-04030 - out of process memory while allocating....while one of our batch process runs in the night. It simply tries to insert/update to a table. Our installation is 11.2.0.1.0 with no RAC configuration and on 64-bit AIX having 6 cores, 12 CPUs and 16 GB memory.
    We have checked the Workarea_Size_Policy is set to be as Auto so Oracle decides how much memory to allocate to PGA automatically on run-time based on the demand. And based on the AWR report it doesnt look like we are anywhere near the country having a PGA-deficit!! I am attaching the AWR report in a word document here for your reference.
    Also attached below are the configurations and the ulimit values.
    IKBTRN1> show parameter workarea;
    NAME                                 TYPE                             VALUE
    workarea_size_policy                 string                           AUTO
    oraipeikbtrn1:/home/oracle-> ulimit -a
    time(seconds)        unlimited
    file(blocks)         unlimited
    data(kbytes)         unlimited
    stack(kbytes)        4194304
    memory(kbytes)       unlimited
    coredump(blocks)     unlimited
    nofiles(descriptors) unlimited
    threads(per process) unlimited
    processes(per user)  unlimited
    Now, nothing seems to have contributed to the out of process memory issue from Oracle standpoint. I would be happy to be proved wrong here, if I am wrong.
    So, whats going wrong here? A possible memory leak which we cannot zero down to, a OS memory limit or something else?
    Seeking expert's advise on this, and also sincerely appreciate your time in looking at this.
    Thanks.
    P.S - I am pasting the whole AWR report since there is no 'upload file' option here that I can see.

    I couldnt add the rest of the report here since it is telling me I have exceeded 30000 characters. If you want to see the full report, please email me at [email protected]

    Unless your database is strictly a DSS-type of database, your AWR report exposes loads of issues with it. And I think none of the time during the AWR window was spent on database. Look at the DB time (with all those multi cores) compared with the elapsed time of the AWR.
    As you are on 11g, why not make use of MEMORY_TARGET (a single parameter to manage both SGA and PGA)? If you are already on it, ignore this as I can't see it anywhere. If not, get rid of SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET and replace it with a single MEMORY_TARGET parameter. However you may have a minimum threshold set for different SGA pools so that they won't shrink beyond that point.
    Having said that, setting MEMORY_TARGET is not a guarantee to avoid ORA-4030. Just a single bad PL/SQL code could go and exploit the untunable part of your process memory and even go and blow up the physical memory. If you are using FORALL and BULK load, see if you can cut it down into few chunks rather than running as a single process.
    What does your V$PGASTAT say?

  • Automatic Parallelism causes Merge statement to take longer.

    We have a problem in a new project as part of the ETL load into the Oracle datawarehouse we perform a merge statement to update rows in a global temporary table then load
    the results into a permanant table, when testing with automatic parallel execution enabled the plan changes and the merge never finishes and consumes vast amounts of resources.
    The database version is:-
    Database version :11.2.0.3
    OS: redhat 64bit
    three node rac 20 cores per node
    when executing serially the query response is typically similar to the following:
    MERGE /*+ gather_plan_statistics no_parallel */ INTO T_GTTCHARGEVALUES USING
      (SELECT
      CASTACCOUNTID,
      CHARGESCHEME,
      MAX(CUMULATIVEVALUE) AS MAXMONTHVALUE,
      MAX(CUMULATIVECOUNT) AS MAXMONTHCOUNT
    FROM
      V_CACHARGESALL
    WHERE
      CHARGEDATE >= TRUNC(TO_DATE(:B1,'YYYY-MM-DD'),'MM')

    I understand that the query is considered for parallel execution due to the estimated length of time it will run for and although the degree of parallleism seems excessive
    it is the default maximum for the server configuration, what we are tryig to understand is which statistics could be inacurate or missing and could cause this kind of problem.
    In this case we can add the no_parallel hint in the etl package as a workaround but would really liek to identify the root cause to avoid similar problems elsewhere.

    Based on the discrepancy between the estimated number of rows and the actual, and the below posted bind value of 2012-04-25 i'd first be checking if the statistics on T_CACHARGES are up to date.
    As a reference
    http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:4399338600346902127
    So that would be my first avenue of exploration.
    Cheers,

  • How unhealthy is this RAC?

    Text can be formatted by tagging the beginning and end of the block of text with the code ta
    \Formatted text goes here.
    \Example:
    This is formatted.When cutting and pasting text such as execution plans, excerpts from AWR reports, etc, it will maintain spacing and formatting, and make for much easier reading.
    As to the content, well, dumping the contents of v$system_event is pretty close to useless.
    As to the first three events you listed, 'enq: TX - index contention', 'enq: TX - row lock contention', 'enq: SQ - contention', well, all of those are easily tunable.
    First, for 'enq: SQ - contention', check your sequences. Do you have any NOCACHE sequences? Or sequences with small caches?
    As for 'enq: TX - row lock contention', well that's fairly self-explanatory. You have multiple sessions trying to lock the same row in the same table at the same time.
    Last, 'enq: TX - index contention', that's non-row level contention on an index. For example, if you have a unique index, insert a row w/ column value 1, but don't commit, then try to insert that same value from another session.
    But, before you do any of that, I think you need to clearly understand where the bottlenecks are. Try taking some AWR snapshots, about 5 minutes apart, when you're having performance problems. Look at the AWR report for that 5 minute period. In particular, look at your Top 5 timed events.
    Hope that helps,

  • DB wait issue

    Hi All,
    using 10gR2 on Sun-Solaris. Getting consistently "db file parallel read" over 35 ms as an average wait for the past few months. No performance issues as such.
    Using RAID 1+0. DB Size is 2 TB. Transactions are OLTP/Batch
    Is this metric high or normal. How to justify that..
    Please advise. Statspack excerpt as below;

    using 10gR2 on Sun-Solaris. Getting consistently "db file parallel read" over 35 ms as an average wait for the past few months. No performance issues as such.
    Using RAID 1+0. DB Size is 2 TB. Transactions are OLTP/Batch
    Is this metric high or normal. How to justify that..
    Looking at your results it's not really possible to say.
    db file parallel read is a request for a number of randomly distirbuted blocks, and the time for a read is the time for the last block of the set to be returned.
    Without knowing how many blocks are being requested at a time you can't really determine what constitutes a reasonable time. Given that you say OLTP + Batch, and have a large volume of scattered reads, it's quite possible that you have some queries on the Batch side doing very large index range scans - which would allow for some very large db file parallel reads.
    I take it from the use of statspack that you're not licensed for the diagnostic and performance packs; it would be easy to query v$active_session_history to get some idea of the number of blocks per request as this is given by the P2 parameter. As it is. you may be able to get a rough idea by messing about with the various "physical read" numbers in the Instance Activity section of statspack.

    Hi,
    If its for a week than I won't bother. Probably you should try to get teh same report for these wait events in a much smaller period , like 20-30minutes of time period when your db is fully operational. If still at that time the wait events,these or any other, shoot up to high wait times, things can be investigated more deeply.

  • Update Statement Simply hanged but doing db file sequential read

    Hi,
    Last night we had issue with one of the prod server where we updating one of table which contains large number records in millions.Same identical machine completed in1 hour and other box never completed but doing db file sequential read but in the long ops the last statement it was done 20:16 after that nothing is happening but i ran few trace on that user.

  • JDBC, SQL*Net wait interface, performance degradation on 10g vs. 9i

    Hi All,
    I came across performance issue that I think results from mis-configuration of something between Oracle and JDBC. The logic of my system executes 12 threads in java. Each thread performs simple 'select a,b,c...f from table_xyz' on different tables. (so I have 12 different tables with cardinality from 3 to 48 millions and one working thread per table).
    In each thread I'm creating result set that is explicitly marked as forward_only, transaction is set read only, fetch size is set to 100000 records. Java logic processes records in standard while(rs.next()) {...} loop.
    I'm experiencing performance degradation between execution on Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g of the same java code, on the same machine, on the same data. The difference is enormous, 9i execution takes 26 hours while 10g execution takes 39 hours.
    I have collected statspack for 9i and awr report for 10g. Below I've enclosed top wait events for 9i and 10g

    I put full blame for the slowdown on SQL*Net message to client wait event. All I could find about this event is that it is a network related problem. I assume it would be true if database and client were on different machines.. However in my case they are on them very same machine.
    I'd be very very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, i.e. give a hint what statistics should I analyze further? what might cause this event to appear? why probable cause (that is said be outside db) affects only 10g instance?
    Thanks in advance,
    Rafi.

    Hi Steven,
    Thanks for the input. It's a fact that I did not gather statistics on my tables. My understanding is that statistics are useful for queries more complex than simple select * from table_xxx. In my case tables don't have indexes. There's no filtering condition as well. Full table scan is what I actually want as all software logic is inside the java code.

    Thanks for pointing me difference in table scans. I infer that 9i is doing single-block full table scan (db file sequential read) while 10g is using multi-block full table scan (db file scattered read).
    I now have theory that 9i is faster because sequential reads use continuous buffer space while scattered reads use discontinuous buffer space. Since I'm accessing data 'row by row' in jdbc 10g might have an overhead in providing data from discontinuous buffer space. This overhead shows itself as SQL*Net message to client wait. Is that making any sense?
    Is there any way I could force 10g (i.e. with hint) to use sequential reads instead of scattered reads for full table scan?
    I'll experiment with FTS tuning in 10g by enabling automatic multi-block reads tuning (i.e. db_file_multiblock_read_count=0 instead of 32 as it is now). I'll also check if response time improves after statistics are gathered.
    Please advice if you have any other ideas.
    Thanks & regards,
    Rafi.

  • Metrics analysis

    Hi All,
    System - Oracle 10.2.0.4 on SOLARIS 10. Application is JDE..(Lot of adhoc queries, lot of batch/ETL jobs at Night, normal OLTP)

    Did not find much info on it from Net..
    2> High log file switch completion The report shows 9 waits each lasting around 35 ms., so I do not see this as a serious performance issue at this time. Many would find 38 log switches per hour too high. You could reduce that number by increasing the size of the redo log files. From the report I see, this would likely not help your performance now, but it could be a good preventive measure.
    Thinking on the same line. But how to set the optimal size of redo logs..?

    Buffer hit ratio is pretty much meaningless. This Jonathan Lewis’ blog entry sums it up nicely - http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/hit-ratios-2/
    Concur with you. But was looking into potential problems, since the BCHR decreased from a earlier value of 65-75%

  • Oracle 8.1.7.4 32 bit and SGA size

    hi gurus,
    OS : solaris 5.8 64 bit
    Oracle: 8.1.7.4 32 bit
    i have seen documents saying that maximum SGA allocation possible is only 1.75 GB due to 32 bit application limitation.
    is there a way in which we can allocate > 1.75 GB for the SGA granules?
    any option like /AWE in windows?
    thanks,
    charles

    OS : solaris 5.8 64 bit
    Oracle: 8.1.7.4 32 bitAs far as i know mixing 32-bit database and 64-bit operating system is not supported - as 8i is.
    Anyway with a 32-bit database you are basically limited to 2 GB per process. You can use "indirect_data_buffer" which will
    enable you to increase your database block buffers > 2 GB....

  • JSP 2.0 as JSF component encoders - continued

    This is in continuation to this topic:
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=414850&tstart=15&trange=15
    As I look further into JSP 2.0, I am more and more sold to the idea of encoding JSF components thru JSP 2.0 tag files and/or SimpleTag handlers ...
    Like, I was trying to figure out how could I derive the functionality of JSF facets from JSP tags - and the answer was amazingly straightforward - fragment attributes ... the tag could treat the fragments as facets while evaluating the body with its normal course ...
    If the benefits of tag files/simple tag handlers are felt among the JSF team, I was wondering if the tag file/simple tag handler could be made part of the JSF rendererType paradigm?
    I was wondering if it were a feasible idea to work in encoder-decoder pairs? The declarations in faces-config.xml for the renderers could be something along these lines:
    If the encoding was with a simple tag handler:
    <render-kit>
      <renderer>
        <renderer-type>Component1Renderer</renderer-type>
        <decoder>decoder.Component1Decoder</decoder>
        <encoder type="SimpleTagHandler">encoder.Component1EncoderTag</encoder>
      </renderer>
    </render-kit>
    If the encoding was with a tag file:
    <render-kit>
      <renderer>
        <renderer-type>Component1Renderer</renderer-type>
        <decoder>decoder.Component1Decoder</decoder>
        <encoder type="TagFile">/WEB-INF/tags/component1Encoder.tag</encoder>
      </renderer>
    </render-kit>
    The above may all be very far fetched but I thought I'd just put across what I had in mind.
    Thanks!

    As I look further into JSP 2.0, I am more and more
    sold to the idea of encoding JSF components thru JSP
    2.0 tag files and/or SimpleTag handlers ...
    As has been pointed out by others, this isn't feasible at all unless JavaServer Faces were to choose JSP 2.0 as the minimum platform. However, even if that were to happen, there are some crucial problems in at least two dimensions:
    * JavaServer Faces integrates nicely with JSP, but does not
    require it. Therefore, the encoding functionality of a
    component (or renderer) needs to operate correctly even for
    a non-JSP rendering environment. How can that be reconciled
    with a desire to use JSP-specific rendering capabilities?
    * JSP 2.0 is very cool, but it doesn't deal at all with the
    issue of handling an incoming request. Therefore,
    a solution that uses JSP as a templating environment (which
    violates the "don't require JSP requirement as mentioned in
    the previous paragraph"), will STILL require some non-JSP
    functionality to do the decoding, validation, and event handling
    parts of the application. To me, it does NOT seem like forcing
    component writers to master two technologies (instead of one)
    would make JavaServer Faces easier to use.
    Implementation technology aside, the logic of decoding (what request parameters do I look at?) is very tightly coupled with the logic of encoding (what markup do I generate?). Splitting those two aspects of the problem into different source files, implemented with different technologies, and requiring changes in both placeds when you make changes, seems like something that goes against all the best practices design principles we've all been learning over the past several decades.
    If JSP had a way to express the functional logic needed for handling events, validations, and calls to business logic, I might be more sympathetic to this approach -- but it doesn't. It is also interesting to note that Struts (among many other frameworks) has embedded markup generation for user interface components in Java logic (in the case of Struts, it's in the HTML tag library) from the very beginning. Why should it be OK there (and 75,000 downloads per month says it's pretty popular) and not in JavaServer Faces?
    Further, why should a page author that is just using components give a rip what the implementation technology is? Isn't that a concern solely of the component writer? I would contend that anyone who builds a non-trivial component, in any technology framework, is going to need functional programming knowledge (be it Java, VB, C#, some XML-based variant, JavaScript, whatever) anyway. Rendering is about 20% of the problem -- the 80% that still needs to be solved is going to require programming knowledge anyway. And JSP, even with all the fantastic things added in 2.0, doesn't address any of those needs.

  • Simple SGA question

    Hi All,
    I'm running 10g on Linux. I'm trying to optimize the SGA in our environment. I occationally get alerts that our memory on the db server is at 99%. I'd like to not get those anymore. Currently i have the following set for our memory parameters:
    Total SGA size: 850M
    Max SGA size is 1.2G
    PGA: 200M
    Questions is this. When i boot up oracle with the above parameters does oracle use/claim the Max SGA size from the server or does it only take the Total SGA size.
    The reason i ask is because i want to reduce the total memory used on the machine and hoping to do this by reducing the Total SGA size w/o rebooting the db. If i have to change the Max SGA then i have to reboot the db.
    If i run a "top" command i see that oracle is using roughly 1.2G of virtual memory so it seems that oracle has the Max SGA allocated to it even though the Total SGA is only 850M. Does this make sense.
    Basically if i want to reduce the memory usage on my machine do i reduce Max SGA or Total SGA parameter?
    Thanks, dave

    Thanks for the response Pierre. So if i run that i get:
    oracle@db1:~$ ipcs -m | grep oracle
    0x42d513ec 622593 oracle 640 1258295296 49
    Shows 1200M in the shared memory segment. That tells me that the Max SGA setting dictates how much memory is used on the server. Is that right?
    My Max is set to 1200M
    My Total is set to 850M
