Increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET parameters

HI ,
I am using oracle 10g R2 and windows server 2003 .
My server is having 8 GB RAM .
I want to increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET parameters .
I am using the below command , but getting the error
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile ;
alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-32001: write to SPFILE requested but no SPFILE specified at startup
Can someone please help ..

hi
connect as sys user and then try...
first make folder as backup and then copy the old SPFILEorcl to the same folder(backup)
now you can easily modify the files otherwise you will get error..
you will find here..
C:\ORACLE_HOME\database
SQL> alter system set sga_max_size=2000M scope=spfile ;
System altered.OR.
connect as sys user.
and do the following...
1).SQL>create pfile from spfile;
2).modify the pfile and decrease\increase the size of pools.
3).shutdown database.
4). Startup database using created pfile.
if it start ok then.
5.) Recreate the Spfile with the created Pfile.
SQL>create spfile from pfile;sarah

Increase SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

Hi all,
I want to increase SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET in 10g. Currently we have
SQL> sho parameter sga
NAME TYPE VALUE
lock_sga boolean FALSE
pre_page_sga boolean FALSE
sga_max_size big integer 2384M
sga_target big integer 2384M
And we have 16GB RAM in redhat linux 4(32 bit).Oracle 10.2.0.3 DB.
Because of 32 bit OS, I was not able to increase shmmax more than 4GB.
In this situation how and how much SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET I can increase?
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil

Hi sunilgln,
Given the present state of things, you have to take a meassure of how many RAM is used with nothing running but the OS, that will give you the Linux footprint.
Take note of the amount of physical free memory (using <strong>top</strong> command)
Later you have to estimate how much swapping are you willing to accept, the SGA you define may be within the ranges of
FREE MEM*90% and FREE MEM*90+(OS FOOTPRINT*%SWAP MEMORY WILLING TO USE)
<em>This is a proposal for setting this up, you need to tune and balance load depending on usage.</em>
Another recommendation, SGA_TARGET is <strong>dynamic</strong>, SGA_MAX_SIZE is not...but you may set SGA_MAX_SIZE to a full allocation and set SGA_TARGET to a percentage that allocation and gradually use it.
What happens is: the OS will "allocate" a chunk(or chunks) the size given by SGA_MAX_SIZE, but the real usage by the database will be determined by SGA_TARGET.
Hope this helps you
Ignacio

Issue creating a database: SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

Hello:
While creating a custom database, I am running into issues with the values I specify for SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET.
The install manual for the product I am creating the database for says that SGA_MAX_SIZE should be >= SGA_TARGET_SIZE. It also wants a minimum of 1Gig for SGA_Target
The Database Configuration Assistant defaulted to 0.64GB for SGA_TARGET and 0.168 for SGA_MAX_SIZE (This is clearly against the instruction in the installation manual).
Who is right? Me or the vendor?
I read some threads that indicate that the vendor may be wrong.
venki

Follow the vendor's instructions.
DBCA has never in its existence made a correct decision yet. It puts all control files and redo logs into one directory.
It doesn't create multiple members for the log file groups.
And its memory management is based on a simple algorithm that has nothing to do with any specific reality.
DBCA is intended for creating a generic database for generic purposes ... and that it does very very well.

Sga_max_size and sga_target values

I have an 11g database on windows with 4GB RAM, I have set the MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and MEMORY_TARGET, what should I do with the pre-existing sga_max_size and sga_target values

memory_target = sga_target + max(pga_aggregate_target, maximum PGA allocated)
MEMORY_MAX_TARGET = sum of the SGA and instance PGA sizes.
For Automatic memory management
set
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_TARGET = 0;
ALTER SYSTEM SET PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = 0;
Note:
In a text initialization parameter file, if you omit the line for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_TARGET, the database automatically sets MEMORY_MAX_TARGET to the value of MEMORY_TARGET. If you omit the line for MEMORY_TARGET and include a value for MEMORY_MAX_TARGET, the MEMORY_TARGET parameter defaults to zero. After startup, you can then dynamically change MEMORY_TARGET to a nonzero value, provided that it does not exceed the value of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET.
Note:
The preceding steps instruct you to set SGA_TARGET and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET to zero so that the sizes of the SGA and instance PGA are tuned up and down as required, without restrictions. You can omit the statements that set these parameter values to zero and leave either or both of the values as positive numbers. In this case, the values act as minimum values for the sizes of the SGA or instance PGA.

SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET

DBAs,
can any one tell me in brief how SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET helps to tune the instance?
i have gone through with vairous link but still confuse.
Regards,
BK

hi BK,
SGA_MAX_SIZE is the maximum sizeof the shared global area (system global area), and SGA_TARGET is set when you want to use ASSM (automatic shared memory management) which is a 10g feature.
You are alos adviced to post oracle version and os.. SGA_TARGET when set, then oracle automatically manages the memory and if not set then you have to set SGA_MAX _SIZE and manually set others memory components accordingly and tune them.
I hope this helps you in a small manner
Thanks and Regards

Increase the SGA and PGA size

Hello Guru,
How do i check what is my SGA and PGA..I am using TOAD..
I need to increase the SGA and PGA size...Please help..
I have a table having 200 million records, all indexes are there for the column..But it hang on in the debugging mode and also compile mode..
So i believe, I need to increase the SGA and PGA size...
Thanks,

The current size for both SGA and PGA can be shown depending on the version of the db. For 10g, the SGA size is shown by sga_target parameter and PGA size is shown by pga_aggregate_target parameter. For 11g, the parameter memory_target sets them both.
I have a table having 200 million records, all indexes are there for the column..But it hang on in the debugging mode and also compile mode..
So i believe, I need to increase the SGA and PGA size...No, IMO, your believe doesn't hold much base as the evidence that you have used is insufficient. What is the debugging mode or compile mode ? For what purpose you are using these modes? 200 million is not a very large number if you ask me. Tell us your db version and based on it, generate a Statspack or AWR report and post here.

Increaseing the height and width of textfield and password fields

Dear friends in apex 4.1 when we create a application it automatically creates a login page
with username and password field in it
So my question is can i increase the height and width of the username and password field in that login page
If it is possible please help.
and also i cannot find the html tag like <input type=text............>
Where to find it?

Hi,
You can easily achieve this using css
<style>
input.myclass
height:100px;
width:100px;
</style>
<input type="test" class="myclass" size="10">So in APEX you have to edit the textfield > HTML Form Eelement Attributes > put class="myclass"

Relative size of sga_max_size and sga_target to the physical memory

Dear Experts,
I have installed oracle 10.2.0.4 on AIX 5.3 with 32 GB of physical memory.
Let us say other applications on the server consume 10 GB of physical memory.
Now how should i plan the size of SGA_TARGET and SGA_MAX_SIZE on the same.

As per Oracle® Database Performance Tuning Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2):
You must then divide the resulting memory between the SGA and the PGA.
For OLTP systems, the PGA memory typically accounts for a small fraction of the total memory available (for example, 20%), leaving 80% for the SGA.
For DSS systems running large, memory-intensive queries, PGA memory can typically use up to 70% of that total (up to 2.2 GB in this example).
Good initial values for the parameter PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET might be:
For OLTP: PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = (total_mem * 80%) * 20%
For DSS: PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET = (total_mem * 80%) * 50%
where total_mem is the total amount of physical memory available on the system.

Buffer Qua is 60 % , incre the sga_max_size and db_cache_size on wht basis

Dear All,
In our XI Production system, data buffer quality is 60%, as i found out that sga_max_size(1.1 GB) and db_cache_size(570 MB) not set as per the standard, and also they are less when compared with development(8 GB RAM).
Our RAM size in PRD is 10 GB,and when i see in topas 90% of RAM is filled, if we increase these parameter by 1GB, i think System's overall perform will be effected as the total RAM will be filled. Please suggest me how to solve the problem and on what basis these parameters should be set(what percent of RAM).
OS : AIX 5.3
SAP XI 7.00
DB : Oracle
Please inform whether i have to include any other info
Regards,
Balaji Vedagiri

a) Why was it changed to less than default? Was the purpose to give memory to Java stacks?
Ans: These parameters are set long back
tell me how much RAM memory does the ABAP+JAVA stack occupy(minimum), as 90% of RAM is filled now.
b) Is there a performance issue now, XI is not a database heavy applicaton? If not why bother?
Ans: Currently there are not performance issues, but in EWA report it is RED and my customer wants it to increase the quality to atleast by 90%.
c) Why not change it back to default or to the same as QA?
Ans: As my analysis we need to increae the parameters by 1GB both means, the remaining RAM(1GB) will be filled means, my total RAM will filled this will lead to overall performance problem.

Suggestion in increasing the SGA and PGA after increase in the RAm of the machine .

Hi All,
Need an expert suggestion on the change's in the SGA and PGA of the oracle database after increasing the size of the machines RAM .
We have 64G of RAM in the machine .
There are 9 DB's running on oracle 10g and 11g on this machine
The total SGA of all the database's is around 18G .
DB1 has 2G of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB2 has 8G of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB3 has 1G   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB4 has 2G    of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB5 has 676M   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB6   has 1.5G   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB7 has 1.2 G   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB8 has 675M   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
DB9 has 672 M   of MAX_SGA_SIZE
Now the machine RAM is up to 96G 64+ 32
what would be the suggestion on the increase in the SGA and PGA max size .
Any expert suggestion is highly apprciated .
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for this Justin.
Here the exercise is to add 4 CPU's and 32G RAM to the server earlier it was with 4 CPU's and 64G RAM this was decided by the server support team .
here is the stats from SAR   command ..

Now that the 4 CPU's and RAM is been added , my request is how to calculate the required kernal parameters for oracle to this new configuration for some improvement in the oracle performance .
like kernal.shmmax
      kernal.shmall
/dev/shm file system
largest value of MEMORY_MAX_TARGET or MEMORY_TARGET of all instances
the oracle is set as automatic memory management . it is not an RAC environment .
Any Expert suggestion is highly apprciated .
Thanks in advance .

SGA_MAX_SIZE and SGA_TARGET in Oracle 10G

We have the following H/W with Solaris 9
SPARC-IV 16 CPUs
32GB RAM
128GB swap
What is the optimal size of sga_target and sga_max_size that can be configured for a heavy batch processing oracle server. Nothing runs except oracle in the above server.
We have currently 3GB SGA size , however our heavy queries are very slow.
We have huge updates on tables with more than 200Millions rows.
Do we need to have JAVA_POOL if the java stored procedure are NOT used.
However we are connecting to this database using JDBC also.
Moreover ASM is enabled in this server.
You expert suggetions are always welcome.

That's not a question that can be answered easily. It depends very much on where the time is going. Three main targets:
Writing the log file - which is largely about use of disks, not memory.
Reading data - lots of single block reads suggest looking at a bigger cache
Reading and writing temp because of large sorts/hash joins - pga configuration
One difficulty with TEMP is that the I/Os are often asynchronous, so a session can do a lot of TEMP I/O without recording much time - which means it can cause a problem elsewhere without suffering a problem itself.
You didn't mention the pga_aggregate_size - which is an important consideration in 10g and can be more important than the sga sizing in DSS and batch-like processing. Between them, the SGA and PGA_aggregate_target should probably account for a very large fraction of your memory - but (since you are on Solaris) make sure you look into large memory pages and intimate shared memory, otherwise you may need to leave a lot of memory available for the O/S memory management mechanisms.
As far as the java pool is concerned, check v$sgastat for pools which constantly show free memory, and reclaim any large free volumes.
Bottom line - if you've got the memory in the box, you might as well use it in the best possible place; but at the moment we don't have enough information to tell us where it would be most useful.
