Could we autoextend a datafile when it's size hits a defined threshold

Hi all,
I have one doubt, could we be able to autoextend a tablespace datafile when it's size hits a defined threshold? For example if my datafile size is 10G, and the autoextend is on,
1. will there be any options to grow it's size automatically (say when the usage reaches 9.5G, size of the datafile should automatically be extended to 11G) ?
2. And if we are using auto extend on for a data file, will there be any performance impact at the time when the size of the datafile gets full during some transactions and the datafile is about to extend to the next size ? I mean from the application point of view, will it behave the same way as some transactions(insertions) takes place in a datafile that already have enough free space for insertion?
Thanks in advance

Just to add few points to what Sybrand has mentioned,
You can't ask Oracle to add a specific amount of free space. It'll extent by extent.
Performance impact will be there anyway as the process trying to write the data have to wait until Oracle allocates free blocks.
So if you feel, your datafiles will be filled up with a high frequency, better to use some fairly large value for the parameter nextextent. So whenever the DBWR make a call to the extents to be added, Oracle will add extents of big sizes and can reduce the frequency of calls b/w dbwr and the extents allocation process.
btw, Please mark the question as 'answered' if you feel you got the needed information. This will save the time of the people who may answer an already answered question.
regards,
CSM

    When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

    Hey linfrommi,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
    Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

  • "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when double clicking on an ics file

    Operation System: Windows 8 Pro
    System Type: 64-bit Operating System
    Office: MS Office Professional Plus 2013
    I am getting "The attempted operation failed. An object could not be found" error when I double click on an .ics file to an appointment to my calender. My outlook.com account's data file is set as default and this error only occurs if
    that is the default data file. I thought that maybe my profile is corrupted. So, I opened up a new profile with the below steps and only add my outlook.com account there:
    1-) Open up the Control Panel and go to Mail section
    2-) Click "Show Profiles"
    3-) Click "Add" and give a name to your profile.
    4-) Configure your outlook.com account (with Auto Account setup, not manual steps)
    5-) Finally, set that profile to be used always.
    Then, I opened up the Outlook 2013 and clicked on the .ics file to add that appointment but got the same error.
    Is this a known issue or specific to me?
    Thanks!

    yes, I have the same problem.
    The workaround of saving the ICS file and then importing it into the current calendar
    works, 
    but the ICS calendar
     displays in other section, NOT in the section of my old events.
    why  ??

  • HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

    I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that?    Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?  

    iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
    Hope this helps.

    It is probably broken. You can try restoring it using Recovery Mode, but if that fails its time for a new phone. After all, it is 4 generations out of date. See: Recovery Mode

  • Hello, I have bought an iphone two weeks ago. Now I have a big problem. Whenever I receive a phone call, the caller could not heare me only when I switch to the handsfree speakers phone. The same issue accurs, when I call somebody.

    I have an iphone and whenever I receive a phone call, the caller could not hear me only when I switch to the hansfree speakers phone. the same issue occurs whenever I call somebody. Could anybody help me?

    Hi
    You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
    "No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
    All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
    HTH?

  • "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan

    "Could not complete scan" error when using Windows Fax and Scan with a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus All-In-One network printer.
    Printing is fine.
    When using the HP Scan application, get the error "Scanner communication cannot be established".
    When scanning from the printer itself it fails with the same message. In addition the printer panel displays the error:
    "The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
    Connection to the computer is lost
    The scanner is in use
    OCR application is not installed"
    My PC is a HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit, with ethernet cable to the router and ethernet cable to the printer
    Originally ran Windows 8.0; recently upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    Older separate Netgear router and modem was replaced with a newer Netgear Router/Modem, but both experienced the same problem.
    There was no problem with the original Windows 8.0 configuration and only after upgrading to 8.1 did the problem emerge.
    On my home netowrk I have an HP ProBook 6550b running Windows 7 sp1 that uses wireless to get to the Router, and it has no problem with scanning.
    I have followed the recommendations of a number of articles relating to this issue (including: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&docname=c02915410&product=4323659#N94), but there has been no change in behaviour.
    The printer has a static IP address;
    Power settings have been adjusted to Never for Turn off Hard Disk; Sleep and Hybrid Sleep.
    Scanning has been tested with all firewalls and antivirus turned off and in Selective Startup.
    The printer has been plugged directly into the power socket.
    With all these settings the Windows 8.1 cannot scan while the Windows 7 laptop with wireless to the router has no problems.
    Appreciate any insights into this problem.
    I can only surmise that the problem is a compatibility problem between the 8600 Printer and Windows 8.1.
    Any ideas?
    regards,
    Motorbike

    You can determine if there is compatiblity between the printer and PC by checking the Windows 8.1 hardware compatibility list. I have done that and it is shown to be fully compatible.  If the driver you installed before was only the basic driver,it would explain the lack of scan and copy functionality.
    Download and install the Windows 8.1 full feature driver and software on the HP Compaq Pro 6300 SFF 64bit PC .

    You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
    Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
    You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
    If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

  • Error "Not all data could be changed in LC" when running DP macro

    We are getting the error, "Not all data could be changed in LC" when running DP macros and we are not sure why. It seems to only happen when we are executing it via a Process Chain but not using the DP background processing scheduling. Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hi Stacy,
                         I hope you are seeing this in message spool.  This message comes up for various reasons. We used to see a message saying "No data saved".
    Some of the reasons could be " the new value (lets say 3 ) after the macro execution is same as after execution (3)".
    See if some of the values are fixed and could not be changed.
    I would take a selection id with just few values and execute the job for that selection id and compare the pre and after results. That should answer all your questions.
