Is there a guideline for having # of Parallels?

Hi.
I'm trying to speed up the PL/SQL proc with
ALTER TABLE A PARALLEL 10;
ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML;
Question - I tried changing 10 to 30, but the Enterprise Mgr shows longer estimates...is there a way to gauge how many sessions should be used?
Thanks,

As far as I know setting the degree of parallelism for a table is a bit of trial and error. Its limited by the number of parallel query servers available; you can find the number available from the V$PARAMETER view. Its also dependent on the number of processors your box has.
By the way, parallelism is not the answer to every problem. I've seen it help in situations involving partitioning, full table scans, and sorting. I've also seen it do nothing and sometimes make queries run more slowly. Try using the parallel hint in the queries you expect it to be use specifying the degree before altering the table.
Good luck!

  • BPC MS 7.0 ; Is there a guideline for max. no. of dimensions per app?

    I need to know if there is guideline for maxumum no. of dimensions per application? i have been hearing that there should be 8 to 11 dimensions per application? Is this SAP recommended? or is this a best practice?

    Hi Sudhir,
    As per Nilanjan's reply below, the maximum dimension per application is 20.
    But, the more dimension you create in the application, the higher the effort to maintain it, i.e. when creating input templates/ reports, etc. So, define your dimension carefully.

  • Are there any apps for having seperate volume controls for each app if multiple apps are playing at the same time?

    Are there any apps for having seperate volume controls for each app if multiple apps are playing at the same time?

    I don't think you can do that the volume is universal, but maybe turn down the volumes in the app settings?

  • Is there any problem for having Oracle and Oracle Express?

    Hi
    Thank you for reading my post
    is there any problem with having both oracle 10gR2 and oracle express installed on the same machine?
    thanks

    There is no theoretical technical problem with multiple Oracle databases on a machine, and I have indeed such an environment on several machines.
    Although people have been known to create their own technical problems by not being careful.
    You may want to review your knowledge of Oracle architecture, as you MUST have separate ORACLE_HOMEs. The ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are predefined for XE and it's important to keep things straight.

  • My photostream is not the same on all my devices. Is there a solution for having access to my photos on all my devices beside using a third party storage like dropbox to keep my photos from selfdestructing in 30 days?

    Why can't I have all my photos saved in my photostream across devices?  It seems like on my iPad that my photostream is only the pictures from the last 30 days, sometimes I need to text out pictures from my iPad that are older than 30 days or have to use older photos for presentations etc. (I'm a teacher).  I have taken to uploading all my photos on dropbox so that I have access to all of them  on all my devices but is there a way of still doing this with iCloud without having to save your photos in some third party storage? This is awful.  I appreciate the return of the camera roll but a lot of times I don't have my phone with me in the classroom and need to be able to do all the things that I do on my phone on my iPad.  Also do not have enough storage to store the photos on my iPad.

    Try looking at the iCloud Photo Library.

  • ABAP Guidelines for transfer rules & Update rules

    Is there any guidelines for abap when using it for transfer rules and update rules? I am looking for some best practise in this area.
    Thank you,

    There is no specific differences in the standards/coding procedure for Transfer Vs. Update Rulse.
    This can only come from a combination of requirement, design and experience! (in no particular order)
    for e.g.
    If the converions are the same for all data targets, you would use the transfer routine, start routine in the Transfer rules.
    If the converions are different for different data targets, you would use the update routine, start routine in the Update rules.
    Key concerns being performance, modularization, reduced effort and ease of maintenance.
    Not sure I have answered you question! Please get back if there is something specific you are interesed in (a scenario perhaps!)

  • Alert Rules vs Alert Category - Is there any limitations for multiple rules

    I have an alert configuration implemented already and i want to add few more rules for the same alert category.  While creating the rules for new set of scenarios, I am able to create only one rule . Is there any limitations for having the rules per category ?

    Hi,
    If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
    There is no limitation of creating alert rule for a particular alert category.
    Check out the steps of Alert rule configuration.
    Creating Alert Rules
    To create an alert rule in which you use a defined alert category, proceed as follows:
           1.      Give the rule a name (Description).
           2.      Select the alert category that you want to use by clicking the corresponding category in the alert category table.
           3.      If necessary, specify conditions for the sender or receiver, or both.
    ○       If your rule results in alerts that must be assigned to a specific message, select the option Yes for the Bound to Message condition.
    ○       If your rule results in alerts that are not assigned to a message, that is, they are caused by errors that occurred before the message was sent, select the option No for the Bound to Message condition.
    In this case you cannot enter any further details about the sender or receiver.
    ○       If the rule is to cover both cases, select the Not Relevant option.
           4.      If required, restrict the errors further to:
    ○       Errors reported from the Integration Engine (with or without error category or error code)
    ○       Errors reported from the Adapter Engine (with or without adapter type)
    You can enter an asterisk (*) in steps 3 and 4. You can enter just the asterisk, or enter it at the start, end, or start and end of a string.
           5.      To add the new rule to the list of alert rules, choose Add Rule.
    If the Rule Activated check box is selected (default setting), the rule is automatically activated when you add it and is displayed as active.
    If the Suppress Multiple Alerts of This Rule checkbox is selected (default setting), then no further alerts are generated once the rule has been met until the first alert has been confirmed.
    Once you have created a rule, it is automatically displayed in the list of alert rules. If you want to display the conditions of a rule, select a rule in the list and choose Show Conditions.
    Hope this will help you.
    Regards

  • Guidelines for when to use SE vs. EE

    Are there any guidelines for when to use Standard Edition and when to use Enterprise Edition? Any limits on Standard edition as far as transactions/sec or number of users or size of database? Other than a list features that are not included in SE are there any other limitiations or reasons I should not go with SE over EE?

    Have you checked out www.javaworld.com. They usually have very good and in-depth articles. IMHO, it all depends on the sort of use your library is intended for. If its used extensively by native code, use C++ with a Java wrapper. It its the other way around, implement it in Java and use a JNI interface for native code. I would really consider this carefully before implementing stuff in C++ that is used from Java. First of all, Java is after all much simpler than C++, its a more elgant OO-language and you have the platform neutrality. On the other hand, C++ has its sides. I dont use JNI unless its absolutely neccessary, in situations like using legacy code.
    These are just a few of my thoughts, hope it gives you some hints.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

  • Is there any point in having an ORDER BY clause within a FOR LOOPs counter?

    DB Version:10.2.0.1.0
    I need to loop through empno's using a FOR loop. But is there any point in having an Order by clause within SQL as shown below. This only degrades the performance because of the unnecessary sorting by the ORDER BY clause. Right?
    begin
    FOR i IN (select empno from emp ORDER BY sal ASC) LOOP 
        curr_stat_id := i.empno +p_gennum;
    .

    First question you should ask to your self is
    "Do i need a FOR LOOP. Cant i do it in a straight SQL"
    If the answer is NO (Which is not in several cases) then the next question is.
    "What is my requirement"
    Having an order by in the Select is totally pertained to your requirement. If your requirement
    says you should loop through the employee based on there salary for lowest to highest then yes you
    need an order by.
    So more than performance point of view its requirement point of you. But if you are more concern about
    performance you will first ask to your self
    "Do i need a FOR LOOP. Cant i do it in a straight SQL"
    Thanks,

  • Are there any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.

    1) I was wondering if there are any set guidelines for customer master data cleansing.
    2) Part of the cleansing effort involves consolidating number of divisions etc. Any pointers to this regard?
    3) Also how do we deal with open docs, billing plans etc?

    The data cleansing requirement will take place, while move the data from legacy system to new target ERP / system. I.e. need to cleanse, enrich, de-duplicate, & standardize.
    The existing data may not have consistent format since it is often being derived from various sources. It may contain duplicate information as well missing or incomplete information. Cleanse and normalize content to achieve accuracy, consistency and proper understanding of the data.
    Also it’s a process of organizing the data, which will ensure enrichment of your data which are up-to-date, accurate, and complete. These processes are manual / labor intensive and require a fair bit of specialization.
    If you need to have more details please feel free to interact with us as per below.

  • Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Hello, is there any way of having a reboot disk for lion that I'm downloading, like the one I have with snow leopard ?

    Once the Lion download is complete quit the installer and follow these directions. The file you need to make a boot disk disappears after you install Lion.

    However, the Lion installation includes a recovery partition. It won't be of help if your entire HD dies but is very handy otherwise. This Knowledge Base article has a lot of good information about Lion's recovery partition.

  • I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer

    I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet.  There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer.  Any ideas?

    Hi Cynthia,
    Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
    For your seven column table:
    Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
    Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
    The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
    To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
    To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
    Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
    Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
    With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
    With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
    With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.
    Regards,
    Barry
