Alter system reset aq_tm_processes

Question

Hi!
Trying to reset aq_tm_processes. First some background:
The aq_tm_processes parameter was first set in the pfile. We had to startup the DB using this file (tried removing it from the pfile also, not sure that worked as show parameter showed aq_tm_processes = 0).
But as we are using streams, aq_tm_processes, should not be set.
Well, I have done this:
1. Took down the DB.
2. Set the aq_tm_processes in the pfile to 2. (So I can issue the alter system command)
3. Startup nomount from pfile.
4. Created a new spfile form pfile.
5. Startup DB.
6. alter system reset aq_tm_processes scope=spfile sid='*';
7. Restarted the DB.
Is the aq_tm_processes now reset?
Show parameter shows the value 0.
alter system reset aq_tm_processes scope=spfile sid='*'
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32010: cannot find entry to delete in SPFILE
It seems that the value is reset (as the parameter can not be found in the spfile). But Im still worried. Should the value show 0 if the parameter is reset?
Regards

Peter, your question is not clear. Do you want the parameter to be set to 0? Run "show parameter aq", look at the value, if it is what you want, no problem. If it is not, set it to whatever value you want. Setting aq_tm_processes to 0 or not having it in your parameter file have the same effect.
