Number of PROCESS

Hi,
In the initSID.ora, we can specify PROCESS=<number>
I new that this is the maximum processes, but what is it ? Anyone can explain more detail ?
For LARGE site, what is the optimal setting ?
Is it true that smaller value will increase the performance ?
Thanks.

You need to set the this parameter according to the usage of your application, i.e. who many connections/process are going to connect to this database.
This parameter definately have impact on the performance.
Make sure you set the optimal value according to your application usage.

  • Error in generating reference number of process

    Hi All Masters,
    I'm new in HCM P&F.
    Currently I have a problem. I was running a sample process or copied process from the sample. Clicking 'check and send'. Still OK.
    But when I clicked 'Send' button, I got an error message displayed 'Error in generating reference number of process'
    Would you please help me what's wrong with that? FYI, I've tried to activate Case Management, but maybe, there is still any loss in that area?
    Thank you for your help

    Hi Otto,
    Neither did I. I don't have any complete resources. Maybe actually there are exists somewhere, but just I don't find it yet.
    I try to learn and doing that by watching this forum and sap help/doc, just maybe there are other people who have same obstacles with me in developing this and then I will get solutions for it.
    Have a nice day...

    From the Oracle error message documentation:
    ORA-00020 maximum number of processes (string) exceeded
    Cause: All process state objects are in use.
    Action: Increase the value of the PROCESSES initialization parameter.
    Another alternative approach may be to configure your Connection pool and/or your ApplicationModule pool to optimize the use of
    database connections and/or restrict the number of database connections used by the application. For example, if your application
    has declared many root ApplicationModules (i.e. more than one ApplicationModule pool is in use) then it may help to enable the
    jbo.doconnectionpooling switch so that each ApplicationModule instance in the pools does not maintain a dedicated database
    connection while not in use. Another alternative if you are using the BC4J connection pool (not a JDBC datasource) may be to
    restrict the number of connections the pool can create to < 150 with the jbo.maxpoolsize switch. However, please note that this
    may have an impact on throughput.
    - I intended to deploy my application to 9IAS server. Will the same problem occurs too?.
    This is a database issue. So, yes.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is a normal number of processes to appear in activity monitor?

    When I go into Activity Monitor and click on "All Processes", I have anywhere from 50-62 processes going on. A friend told me this was far too many, but she uses a different operating system than I do.
    I have a 10.4.11 OS on a Macbook that I bought in January of 2007.
    My computer overheats fairly easily, so I'm not sure if there is a problem here. It has typically maintained a number of around 60-62, but when I restart it, the numbers drop to a 56 or so and slowly rebuild. I recently downloaded Sophos, an antivirus program, which takes up 4 processes (don't know if that's normal).
    Is this a typical number of processes (these are the numbers when I have no main programs, like Safari/Microsoft Office/itunes/other open), or do I need to do some kind of cleaning? And if I do need cleaning, what should I do?

    Sophos is a real problem here, but on a PPC G5 PowerMac, so I never installed it on anything else.
    My eMac/1.42/2G/10.5.8 has about 60 to 70 Processes showing, can check 10.4.11 tomorrow if you wish, but while it depends on so many factors, I don't consider yours abnormal at all.
    do I need to do some kind of cleaning? And if I do need cleaning, what should I do?
    If anything, At this point I think you should get Applejack...
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 6 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
    Trash old Log files.
    First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!

  • How to set a limit on the number of processes a session can start?

    I have an Oracle db version 10.2.0.4 running on Solaris 10. My parallel_max_servers parameter is set to 650 and the processes parameter is set to 700. But I don see one session that is spawning 129 processes and another one that is spwaning 65 processes. Is there a way to limit the number of processes that a session can spawn?

    check processes
    $ ps -ef | grep $ORACLE_SID|wc -l
    SQL> select * from v$resource_limit where resource_name ='processes';
    My parallel_max_servers parameter is set to 650 and the processes parameter is set to 700.
    PARALLEL_MAX_SERVERS
    specifies the maximum number of parallel execution processes and parallel recovery processes for an instance. As demand increases, Oracle increases the number of processes from the number created at instance startup up to this value.
    Do you use query with parallel?
    example:
    -> create table xxx PARALLEL (degree 5)
    -> select /*+ PARALLEL
    if you don't use parallel on execution processes... so, your processes not increase ;)
    By the way your db have limited proceses= 700 (Dedicated Server Processes)

This value is most derived from the PROCESSES parameter. You cannot exceed this number of sessions unless you raise the parameter value.
    If your database is configured to handle enough sessions, then Oracle can literally handle thousands of simultaneous connections, provided your database server also has enough resources to handle this number of connections. You will want to implement Oracle's Shared Server connections so that multiple connections share a pool of processes on the database server. This minimizes the resource consumption used by the connections.

  • How to change the maximum number of process per user in BW ?

    Hi,
    Do you know how to change the maximum number of process allowed per user ?
    With RSRT we can customize the number of process per query but I don't know where we can customize the maximum number of process per user.
    In fact, my production environment reach always the max number of process available in SM50...

  • Process Monitoring SCOM 2007 R2-Minimum Number of Processes

    I am trying to setup a process monitor with Minimum Number of Processes set to 0 but its not accepting it and replacing it with 1.Is there way I can set it to 0, tried to edit the xml as well but its not working
    Help would be appreciated

    Hi,
    You process monitor type is: alert on out of process count i.e. process should exists on the server if value 0 indicates the process is not running on server
    and monitor type fail to calculate process count. Minimum number is 1 by default and by design. 
    The Process Monitor is a "mini" management pack that runs a WMI query. The query performs a:
    select * from Win32_Process Where Name = (the parameter passed by the script for the name of the process to monitor).
    Output all parameter of win32_process class and this monitor type work on Count. If the count value is 0 indicates process is not running and this monitor fail.

  • Text msgs and contact number retrieval process in case of deletion

    hi
    text mags and contact number retrieval process of deletion

    If you are asking how to restore deleted text messages, you have to restore your phone from a backup made while the messages were on your phone, if you have one.  This may restore deleted contacts in the same way but there is no guarantee (contacts are stored in the backup only to maintain favorites and the recent call list).

  • Too many number of process' anybody with similar problem

    Hi,
    we are using portal 9022 on rh201. once in a while it starts creating excessive number of process' and dogs down the system. we are running infrastructure and mid tier on the same server. any body out there with similar issues. I am thinking of converting the dedicated to MTS system. anybody has any success in tuning the performance.
    Thanks,
    Vijay

    which 'processes' are they ?
    java, db writer, webcache, ohs ???
    I wouldn't turn on MTS by default without understanding exactly why you are turning it on..
    This document is for 309 but the premise of the assertions is exactly the same.

  • OCI8 OCIStmtFetch() the number of processed rows

    Hello,
    Would someone help me, please.
    How may I get the number of returned rows at the end of the table after OCIStmtFetch() for multiple rows?
    The OCI7 function ofen() returns the number of processed rows.
    Thanks.

    Simon
    For  deleting significant number of rows best practice is to delete rows in small batches of known size (e.g. 10 K) inside a while loop. 
    This keeps transaction log from filling up as well.
    Also between two iterations of delete you can give some wait to make sure that you do not monopolize the server. Sleep could be for a fixed number of seconds (e.g. 5) or for randomized number say from 1 to whatever makes sense.
    Typically "set rowcount " is used to set up the batch size and "waitfor delay" to sleep between iterations.
    Global variable @@rowcount gives yo actual rows deleted. For the last batch this may be lower than the batch size you set up.

    You should check alert log file on database like Alex told you.
    And please post Error ;)
    But If You can access +ASM, Or ...by the way... if you stop database ... try to check ASM diskgroup.
    $ export ORACLE_SID=+ASM1
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> set lines 130
    SQL> set pages 10000
    SQL> select NAME, TOTAL_MB, FREE_MB from v$asm_diskgroup;
    If your DISKGROUPs for archivelog on DB full... backup or delete them
    (please start database mount mode)
    $ export ORACLE_SID=DB1
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> startup mount;
    SQL> show parameter log_archive_dest
    backup archivelog
    $ rman target /
    RMAN> backup ARCHIVELOG ALL DELETE INPUT format 'ARCH_%d_%U' ;
    or delete
    $ rman target /
    RMAN> delete ARCHIVELOG ALL ;
    After that ...
    $ sqlplus / as sysdba
    SQL> alter database open
    This justs my suggestion, if your database has the problem with ASM diskgroup full ... because archvielog...
    By the way... please post your result from ASM query and alert log file
    Good Luck

  • ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (%s) exceeded

    >
    You have only treated the symptom and not fixed the cause. As fellow members said, you could kill some "non-critical" processes and log in to the database.
    But you will have to find out why there were so many processes in place. I am sure you might have set the definite number of processes after your planning before you went live. If you suddenly see too many processes, you will have to find out why and where they are coming from. Also check if there are any rogue processes.
    To find out if there are any processes which have no sessions attached
    select spid from v$process where addr not in (select paddr from v$session);
    To answer your question, data guard shouldn't be affected by this. Nor would dataguard cause this issue in primary.
    Fix this processes issue before it's too late. Otherwise, there will be a situation when you will have to keep increasing the processes until you hit the OS limit

    ORA-00020: maximum number of processes (1000) exceededThis was the first time in three years that happened an incident like this. Due my Windows server allows me to setup processes and sessions with a very high value, I did it when configuring this database for the first time.

    transactions     1215     UNLIMITEDI would like to know what application or process made that my database exceeds 1000 processes. I read that one possiblity is that there's a web app that open many connections to database and doesn't close them.

    Host SRVXXX is a server where a web app is and 192.168.1.1 is our firewall. May I think that this server was the one that made so many connections?
    I checked alert.log, trc file and listener.log. What else can I check to determine what was the cause of this incident?

    It could result from Denial of Service attack or trojan or virus infecting webserver

  • ORA-Error: Maximum number of Processes exceeds

    Hi,
    Today we got one Oracle error: Maximum number of Processes exceeds while connects to our Oracle Database.
    We have application running on our DB, which have 50 threads running and making connection to Oracle Schema.
    In our init.ora file the Processes Parameter is set to 50.
    But we also have another init<Schema Name>.ora file which has Processes Parameter as 50.
    When I search on this error, I got that it is due to no. of user processes on Oracle instance.
    What are these user processes exactly?
    If we set the Processes Parameter as 150, and we have RAC environment with 3 Cluster, does it means we have 150*3 processes can run at a time.
    The other doubt I have is that: Is this parameter is instance based, SID based or cluster based?
    Please provide some input on this.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Manoj Macwan

    If you don't issue
    alter system set processes=150 scope=both sid='<your instance 1>'
    all instances will be allowed to fork 150 processes.
    The other poster is incorrect.

    Hi Jos
    --> How to calculate ASM Parmaeter process? with which view i can get the information?
    -->I cheked with below command by connecting ASM instance show below like 300 process .But while doing any operation on ASM crossing 300+ connection of process.
    SQL>show parameter process
    NAME TYPE VALUE
    processes integer 300
    --> I confirmed by checking by ps -aef|grep beq command in linux it shown 380 beq connection.
    --> Power limit i given 5 while adding disks to diskgroup..!
    --> long back ago we changed ASM Parameter process value to 300 in place of 100.
    --> A question like while rebalancing is going node got hanged got alert error like ASM MAXIMUM PROCESS GOT EXCEED so no operation were allowed to the node, so we rebooted the node after rebooted node came in to normal state and able to do all operation normally..but my question is that rebalance is completed succesfully or not?
    --> For this issue we need to apply any Patch to overcome this issue in future while doing any operation on ASM
    Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
    Thanks & Regards
