Export/Import of Database to increase the number of datafiles

My BW system is close to 400 GB and it only has 3 datafiles.  Since we have 8 CPU cores, I need 8 datafiles.  What is the best way to export/import the database in order to achive 8 datafiles?

With a BW system that size you can probably get away with it.  You most likely do at least a few full loads so all that data will be evenly distrubuted when you drop and reload.  If you can clean up some of your PSAs and log tables you can probably shrink the 3 files down a little anyway.  If you do little maintenance like that every few weeks, after locking auto growth, you can probably shave 2-3 GBs off each file each week.  Do that for a few months and your large files will love 20 GBs while the other ones start to grow.  Rebuilding indexes also helps with that.  You will be surprised how fast they will level out that way.
With regard to performance you should be fine.  I certainly wouldnt do it at 10 am on Tuesday though :-).  You can probably get away with it over a weekend though.  It will take basically no time at all to create them and very little IO.  If you choose to clean out the 3 existing ones that will take some time.  I have found it takes about 1-3 hours to shrink a 150 GB datafile down to 100 GBs, that was with 8 CPUs, 30 GBs of RAM, and an SAN that I don't fully understand

  • Ctx_doc.snippet increase the number of occurrences returned

    Hi everybody,
    I am pretty new on Oracle Text so please be merciful :)
    I am on Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 and I need to provide my users with ALL snippets found in a text, but it seems that CTX_DOC.SNIPPET restricts the number of snippets occurrences (I will exemplify it later).
    The question is: is there a way to increase the number of results/snippets returned by CTX_DOC.SNIPPET ?
    In the example that follows, I create the table "mysearch" and an index of type CTXSYS.CONTEXT, then I run the final SELECT query with CTX_DOC.SNIPPET() to obtain a list of most relevant fragments.
    If you run the query - see the column "SNIPPET" - record #6 is returning only the first 4 occurrences. In this case (especially because is a single row) I would expect to find all 6 occurrences instead of 4.
    Again, if looking to record #7 I have only 3 occurrences.
    Then for record #8 I have only 2 occurrences.
    I know that CTX_DOC.SNIPPET retrieves the "most" relevant fragment, but I would like to obtain the full list of fragments present in the indexed text. Is there a way (or an alternate method) to accomplish what I like to do.
    I have also noted that CTX_DOC.MARKUP can be used on the same index to retrieve the full text "marked-up" with my query terms, so I know Oracle has indexed the text somewhere, I need only to get it out !
    Any help will be very appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Luigi

  • How can I increase the number of R3trans in the SHADOW_IMPORT_INC ?

    Hello ,
    we have a problem with ehp installation .  The Prepare Phase for EHP4  have we start on monday . But we have closed development on Thursday and now the SHADOW_IMPORT_INC is to slow.
    How can I increase the number of R3trans in SHADOW_IMPORT__INC Phase ? We have opened a servicecall with prio high but sap does not answer.
    Regards

    Hi Daniel,
    What database are you working on ?? Make sure stats are updated. This phase has lot to do on the DB part. So analyse more from DB perspective.
    Most important thing is check if you are using parallel import property of R3trans as per SAPnote # 1127194.
    Best Regards
    Niraj

    In previous versions this was unlimited. It allowed me a quick way to view catalogs I have worked on even months ago.
    There are no options inside Lightroom 5 to adjust this that I can find.
    So is there a file I can modify in the Lightroom system folder or in the registry that will remove the limited number or increase the number allowed in the list?

    I agree that there really isn't a benefit to having multiple catalogs. I have two catalogs that I use. One is my main catalog that has multiple years and all of the images that I want to keep. The other one is my "test catalog" that I use for experimenting with different photo techniques. None of those images are important enough for me to want to keep them with my other ones. I don't use it very often anymore. But it's there just in case. There's not a performance hit for having thousands of images in a single catalog. The catalog is primarily a database designed for high-volume use. Having all images in a single catalog simplifies searching and organization in general. But if you're happy with multiple catalogs then go for it. Sometimes the more difficult way is easier to understand.
    Ok so let the debate begin....
    So why have multiple catalog choices at all? When you load a catalog it contains all of the images and the modification data that you have done to each picture with in each module in Lightroom.
    Beyond that you have within that catalog a 1000 folders each with a day or name for the shots taken. You still have to rifle through those files and imagines anyway all the while having a years worth of photography packed in to one single catalog. Why?
    I am a professional photographer, I shoot daily, and I import my shots each day in a folder dated and named for the shot. I create a new catalog for those folders so that I can open only that catalog and what was done with it at the time.
    It is easy for me to pop open that catalog and keep it separate from all my other days of work and back it up individually. I can quickly run back through my archives and find a client for reprints and all of the setting done for that client or project stay with the catalog.
    So why pack everything in to one master huge catalog? even if it is just data it can be a lot over time depending on how much work you do. I myself take 100s of shots per day and this is the system I like best to protect mine and my clients work.
    But really thanks for your comments I will continue working my way with all of my work spilt in to separate catalogs.
    I wont be back on these forums anytime soon because like most of them you can not get an answer to the actual question you ask instead you get berated by some people who have too much time on their hands and not enough work to.

  • Issues with Export/Import using Database & Shared buffer

    Hi All,
    I have a method that calls a program via a job and I am having issues passing data between the two.
    Note that two different users process the method and program (via job) resp. This is how I am calling the second prog-
    SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
                 VIA JOB     l_jobname
                     NUMBER  l_jobcount
                     USER    i_user
                 AND RETURN.
    I need to pass data from method to  the second program and vice versa and then the method continues its processing with the data acquired from the second program.
    I have tried using Import/Export using database and also shared buffer. What I have found is that most of the times I am able to pass data from method to program. However the job takes a couple of min to execute and I think that the data is not making back to the method in time.
    I have looked at some useful forum links-

    Hi Suhas, Subhankar
    I have tested the scenario without the job previously itself and it works. Thats the reason, i am trying with the job now as my requirement is that I need to change the user while executing the second report.
    Here is an example of my import/export - I am passing the return value from the second report to the first.
    Code in second report-
    DATA: INDXKEY LIKE INDX-SRTFD VALUE 'RET1'.
    INDX-AEDAT = SY-DATUM.
    INDX-USERA = SY-UNAME.
    EXPORT RETURN1 TO SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY.
    Code in first report -
    SUBMIT ZPROGRAM
                     VIA JOB     l_jobname
                         NUMBER  l_jobcount
                         USER    i_user
                     AND RETURN.
    Once Job close FM is executed successfully, I import the values as follows
    IMPORT RETURN1 TO RETURN1 FROM SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID INDXKEY3.
    INDXKEY is having value RET1.
    However Return1 is not having any values in first report. It has some value in executed without the job
    Please note that I have tried Export/import with Database too and I am getting the same results.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • How do I increase the number of lines presented in a drop down list?

    When I am entering a single character/number for each of a random selection of three letters in a password verification, I get a drop down list from A to S only, the first 20. Accessing letter T to number 9 means scrolling down. How can I increase the number of lines in a drop down box to 36?

    Hi canddski,
    If you are taking about an interface on a website, this is up to the ui designer. But there is a reflow that depends on screensize for the Firefox UI.

  • Portal export/import  on database 8.1.7 on an other machine

    Hello,
    I'm running Oracle8i on AIX. I have problem when I try full export/import my database (version 8.1.7) on an other machine. I have a problem with import users PORTAL30 and PORTAL30_SSO and CREATE TABLE 'WWSEC_ENABLER_CONFIG_INFO$'

    When using export/import between different releases, you need to use the older version of export to create your dump file. In your case, you must use the 8.0.5 export utility to export from your 8.1.7 database. You need a tnsname in your 8.0.5 tnsnames.ora that points to your 8.1.7 database. Then you use SQL Net to connect and do the export. So, instead of doing exp system/manager you would do exp system/manager@tnsname. Just be sure to use the 8.0.5 export, and your import will work fine.

  • Throughput drops dramatically when I increase the number of instances in a cluster

    Fellow clusterers ....
    I have an EJB driver program that pumps work into a WLS cluster. For
    scalability, I increase the number of drivers. The drivers have a big pool
    of work to pump into the cluster.
    I noticed that with 6 (nothing special about that number) drivers, I can get
    500K worked items per hour in a single instance (clustered). That is, the
    instance is cluster enabled and is watching for multicast, etc..
    When I add the second instance into the cluster, the cluster-wide throughput
    with the six drivers drops to 370K items per hour. When I add the third
    instance, the cluster-wide throughput drops further to 250K items per hour.
    When I kill an instance, the throughput grows back to 370K items per hour.
    When I kill another instance (to get back to one instance), the throughput
    grows back to 500K/hr.
    Can somebody point out what we are doing wrong - do we need to tweek some
    WLS parameters, do we have to avoid some features that limit cluster
    scalability, etc..
    My WLS configuration is .....
    - WLS 5.1, SP5
    - JDK 1.2.1_04c with JIT, no Hotspot
    - we enabled performance pack
    My hardware/software configuration consists of:
    - an E4500 - 8 processor database server - this is only running at 15%
    server busy
    - three E4500 - all 8 processors/6GB RAM - application processors
    The cluster is implemented with one instance per application server.
    Each application server is only 10-15% busy.
    My driver and application is ....
    - stateless EJB driver and stateless EJB bean

    The short answer is to set the following tuneables on the client side:
    java -Dweblogic.system.executeThreadCount=10
    -Dweblogic.system.percentSocketReaders=50 <your client program>

  • Is there anyway to increase the number of minutes to your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

    Is there any way to increase the number of anytime minutes for your plan without changing the rest of your plan?

        CBaker13,
    An important question. Most calling plans established by Verizon Wireless are designed to cover calling plan minutes as part of your calling plan rather than a separate feature. You can generally keep most other features if you change your calling plan if that is what you are concerned about.
    Maybe I can provide a better answer with some details and make a recommendation to you. Could you advise us what calling plan you currently have? What specific concerns do you have regarding what features you might lose?

  • Increase the number of portions in process for each conversion object

    I experts,
    I configured SAP TDMS 3.0 with SP 14 to transfer test data from QAS to DEV (both is ECC 6.0) for the first test with TDMS TIM (Time Based Reduction).
    The data transfer phase is still running (99% - 60hs running). We analyzed the Display Runtime Information report and see that objects of conversion with similar calc. records and calc. GBytes have very different the Net Runtime.
    TMDS currently is working with four objects of conversion, processing a portion of each.
    Conversion objects that are running are:
    - Z_LTBP_002
    - Z_TSEGE_002
    - Z_VEVW_002
    - Z_YST27_002
    We check in the receiver system, and we see that is use only one DIA process to update the each table.
    How can increase the performance of the update? Is correct that use only 1 DIA process for this??
    Can I increase the number of portions in process for each conversion object?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.

    Hi, I use licensed Adobe Connect. Earlier in the meeting could involve up to 100 people. Now only 25. How, using Adobe Connect can increase the number of participants in the meeting? I need more than 25 people.
    Thanks for your help.

    The purchasing option through adobe.com only allows up to 25 attendees. If you need more than that, you will need to purchase through a reseller. You can find one that is able to sell in your part of the world, here: Adobe Connect Partners. Just reach out to one of the Global Partners.

  • How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox it is only showing 5.  I have a 5c.

    How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox. It only shows 5. 

    That issue can be caused by the FastestFox extension.
    * FastestFox Options > General, uncheck "Enhance Awesomebar"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
