OUI complains about zero swap space? [solved]

I am upgrading my OAS 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.2.2.0.
When I start the OUI that is part of patch 4960210, it reports the following:
Checking swap space: 0 MB available, 1535 MB required. Failed <<<<
I cannot continue the installation.
I am installing on Windows XP Professional (this is my personal development instance). My laptop has 4 disks, C:, D:, E:, G:. OAS is installed on E: and this is where I unzipped the OUI. The C:, D:, and E: drives each have a system managed paging file that have pagefile.sys files of 2,088,308 KB in size.
Free space is: C: = 2.84 GB, D: = 3.73 GB, E: = 22.1 GB.
How can I overcome this check?

I manually set 1600 MB swap spaces on my C: and E: drives and the OUI passed this check.
Apparently, the pagefile.sys remains after a reboot but is not an indication of the amount of swap space allocated. maybe Windows does not allocate swap space until it is needed when the virtual memory is system managed.
Anyway, set the swap space manually to the amount needed by OUI. I will set it back to system managed after the install.

Swap space for multiple instaces on the same box

OS: Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2 (64-bit)
DB: 10.2.0.4
I'm fairly new to Linux and have a general question about configuring swap space on a Linux box running 10g. From the 10g: Managing Oracle on Linux for DBAs class, Oracle gives the following recommendations about swap size:
RAM (Swap)
<= 2Gb (150% of the RAM size)
Between 2Gb - 8Gb (Equal to the RAM size)
8Gb+ (75% of the RAM size)
It's not clear to me from reading the book if this recommendation is good for all Oracle processes running on the machine, or if it's a per instance value? The box has 16Gb of RAM but there are going to be three instances running on it and I need to verify that 12Gb of swap will support all three without issue or if I'll need to configure 12Gb swap per instance.
Appreciate any input.

As noted earlier in this thread, swap space is an operating system property, and has nothing to do with software you want to run on top of it, like an oracle database.
The function of swap space is to be able cope with memory allocations beyond the amount of physical memory. In most occasions you do not want to use swap space, because it has a severe performance impact (memory blocks have to be exchanged from the swap device to physical memory).
(please mind that on some unixes (AIX and HPUX if I am not mistaking), swap is pre-allocated for processes which means the swap size is not only depended of operating system and memory size, but also the number of processes. Linux does not do that, it starts to allocate swap pages under memory pressure. There are certain issues with some memory settings in linux (linux kernel memory management is quite automatic) that can get your system to page. (memory overcommitting is one thing))
In my experience, the amount of memory which is used is depended on the amount of memory on the machine in most cases. Whilst this sound simple, think of it: with 2GB used, probably most DBA's would allocate approximately 1.5GB to the databases on that machine, if your machine got 16GB you probably want approximately 14GB to be used by the databases.
This means (for me) that I use swapspace with the same size as the amount of memory. That few extra GB's allocated to swap won't cost you or your company an arm and a leg, so have that for not running out of memory.

Swap space is reported to be Zero but it is not !

Hello
I am trying to deinstall OSB, from some reason when running the setup -deinstall under the D:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_service_bus\oui\bin directory I am getting a message that my swap space is equal zero but I have like 70GB free on my hard drive
What is going on ? any advice ?
I am an administrator on the machine for sure

Hi Eyal,
Any other ideas ?If possible, try after restarting the machine. I hope you have referred this doc -
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e15017/deinstall.htm#sthref38
do you know if there is a way to install OSB without the windows installer ? just using the command line ? OSB can be installed in two modes -
1. Graphical Mode
2. Silent Mode
But both of them would require the setup file (setup.exe) to be there. For information about installation/deinstallation of OSB, you may refer OSB installation guide-

I see that many people have already complained about Itunes' backup encryption. I NEVER set a password for it (and the corresponding option is still unticked, as always) yet it asked me for a pwd when I upgraded my 3GS to the 5.0 OS. How to solve this?

To prevent others from reading your mail, don't give them access to your account. If others need to use your computer for some reason, set up personal accounts, or a guest account, and switch to it before allowing them access. This is the simplest, and most effective, method.
Email message files can be read as plain text in TextEdit or any word processor.
To protect your email messages from being viewed by others while in your account, you would have to lock the folder, putting it into an encrypted disk image that required a password to be opened and mounted. You would have to double-click on the image and give your password to mount it before launching Mail then unmount it as soon as you're done. My guess is that you could replace the ~/Library/Mail folder with an alias pointing to the folder on the disk image.
It may work, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary hassle.

[solved] Setting up swap space

I didn't set up any swap space on my girlfriend's computer, and she's constantly topping out her RAM. I know how to resize ext3 and make swap space, but how do I have it enabled every time on bootup? Or a swapfile, is it as effective? How do I make a swap file?

[solved] cpanp wrongly complains about missing ExtUtils::MakeMaker

(This appears to be the most suited subforum for the following matter. Please excuse and correct me if I am wrong.)
As there is no AUR package for the CPAN module Image::Magick, which I need, I am trying to install it with cpanplus and cpanplus-dist-arch (and yes, I ran setupdistarch). Unsuccessfully, though:
$ sudo cpanp i Image::Magick
Installing Image::Magick (6.72)
Running [/usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/core_perl/cpanp-run-perl /root/.cpanplus/5.14.2/build/PerlMagick-6.72/Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site]...
Writing Makefile for Image::Magick
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json
[MSG] Module 'Image::Magick' depends on 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker', may need to build a 'CPANPLUS::Dist::Arch' package for it as well
[ERROR] Use of uninitialized value $pkgver in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/CPANPLUS/Dist/Arch.pm line 1591.
So cpanp complains about ExtUtils::MakeMaker not being installed, which is wrong:
$ pacman -Qs makemaker
local/perl 5.14.2-2 (base)
A highly capable, feature-rich programming language
local/perl-extutils-makemaker 6.59-1
Create a module Makefile
Re-installing ExtUtils-MakeMaker with cpanp does not help. Any ideas what could be wrong and how to fix it? (Also I am open to suggestions for other means of installing CPAN modules.)
EDIT:
Just retried with latest git version of cpanplus-dist-arch. No change.
Last edited by Franek (2011-10-23 21:16:06)

Long story short is that Image::Magick is bundled with ImageMagick! Install the imagemagick package and you should be just fine. The PerlMagick distribution which contains the Image::Magick module on CPAN is simply a copy of what comes with ImageMagick.
The warning about ExtUtils::MakeMaker is just something that cpanp does for every dependency of a module that you build. It is very annoying and other than convincing the CPANPLUS maintainer to remove it, there is nothing I can do about it. But it is a warning and not an error. I've just gotten used to it I suppose.
The error about an uninitialized value which stops things for you is a bug. I'll try to figure out why it happens and fix it. Thanks for reporting it. I am having a tough time reproducing it, though. Which version of pacman are you using?

How much swap space should I allocate? [SOLVED]

Hey guys,
I am planning on installing Arch Linux KDE on my Lenovo Y470: I5,4 gig ram, Nvidia gt 540M. How much of swap space should I have ?
And I could use some clarification on "rolling release" as to what it means :-)

Decreased min free swap space

Hello everyone,
due to technical problems, in 07/Dic/2005 we had to replace a disk in one of our cluster server of SAP R/3 Enterprise. We also increased its level security from RAID 0 to RAID 5.
But today we have detected than since that moment, the min free swap space has decreased considerably, from 12800 KB (approx.) to 1100 KB (approx) !! (with ST06 transaction). The replaced disk has the SAME characteristics of the previous one
How can we solve this situation and return to original swap space values? Which is the optimal configuration of swap space in SAP and Windows 2003 Server?? We have two nodes in a cluster (one with the application server and one with the database), and each one has 4Gb of memory.
Current commit charge values of Windows 2003 Server task Manager are:
Commit charge (K):
Limit: 7931568
Peak: 7925732
This is the SAP answer to the note I opened:
"Please ask your hardware partner about this. At the moment I do not know anything about the symptom on other customer systems. My opinion is that the workload has been changed, thus increased peak values. Please look at the installation guide "
Can yoy help me?
Thanks in advance,
Óscar Sánchez

Hi Oskar,
My suggestion:
Activate NT performance monitor and try to identify
the time when you have peak usage of swap and application that caused it. To my knowledge, even 12800 KB free swap is not acceptable amount (at least, there should be couple of hundreds megabites available). Check your process monitor to see what applications take much memory. If you replaced your disk on the C: drive of the other MSCS node, I don't see any ways that this replacement could affect to the other node swap size. (I am assuming that C: drive is not sharing through the nodes)

Mike

Running out of swap space on db on aix

We are currently doing some volume testing against a database which is on one of our aix boxes
Os is (AIX 5L) with 2Gig memory
Essentially, we are just processing a large amount of data, but I have noticed that our swap files are being used up.
(My understanding is this is because theres not enough room in memory for the pga )
I'm a little wary of creating another swap file until I have backed up all the database instances on the server.
I increased the processes from 1000 to 1500 which appeared to have had some effect.
I also found these parameters in the server parameter file
SCMS.__db_cache_size=285212672
SCMS.__java_pool_size=4194304
SCMS.__large_pool_size=4194304
SCMS.__shared_pool_size=423624704

With only 2GB Ram, you have not a lot to use for Oracle an AIX box. I do not know your curernt settings but here are some hints:
1. Check the memory occupied by other applications on the box. I will assume this is 500MB. Leaving you with 1.5GB to play with Oracle
2. Make your swap space at least 4GB
3. Set SGA_TARGET to about 1GB
4 Set SGA_MAX_SIZE to about 1GB
5. Ensure the following parameters are set to 0 (zero)
DB_CACHE_SIZE = 0
JAVA_POOL_SIZE = 0
LARGE_POOL_SIZE= 0
SHARED_POOL_SIZE= 0
6. Ensure that WORKAREA_SIZE_POLICY is set to AUTO
7. Set PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET up to 500M

Swap Space in Linux

Hi,
I am newbie to Linux.How to increase the Swap Space in Linux for Oracle 10g Installation.Is it possible to create the Swap space without Reboot in Resue Mode.Tell some commands about Swap space and File system.
Thank You,
With Regards,

1. Find a filesystem or partition on which you want to create swap space. Lets say root filesystem /
2. Example -> dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1024 count=65536
3. Making of swapfile -> mkswap /swapfile
4. Immediately enable swap -> swapon /swapfile
5. To enable it at boot time edit /etc/fstab to include -> */swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0*
Finally Check with you Unix system administrator before doing these commands.

Apple Support ignores me completely, there is no way I can complain about lack of feed back and I even have paid for a protection plan!

I have paid for an extended support through the Apple protection plan. Frankly I do not understand what I´ve paid for as there is no support and no plan, except ignorance and waiting time.
I have had and still have serious problem with my Mac Book Pro, and spent loads of money on phone charges with mainly negative results. All I have "achieved" is wasted time. I just wonder if it is only me who feel totally helpless as the Support People are not really helping. I´ve spent approsmimately 200 USD in phonecharges on their support phone, so far. But that is nothing compared to the hours spent waiting for answer and listening no absolute nonsense. Finally I went to an Apple store who sent the machine in for repair, and one fault was the motherboard. However I could still not connect with my Time Capsule and Aperture seemed to have lost all my photos. This all happende after upgrading to Mountail Lion. Also the cable network isn´t working. I can easily see on the net that I am not the only one with problems. I´ve ended up with solving most of this myself, except the network connection. It is still not working.
I am actually deeply dissapointed with Apple and I cannot find any way to even forward a complaint. Not that I believe it would help, but at least I´ve tried. I also think it would be fair to to get my money back for a product I´ve paid for which obviously isn´t working, namely the Apple Care Protection Plan.

Hi, so you suggest I should be grateful for getting what I have paid for? Sorry but that's only getting what I paid for. Add to that, that this has been against the phone support I've used a lot of time and money for! I don't feel anything but hopelessness for the total lack of customer support. An expensive Mac Book Pro shouldn't fail after 2 years in the first place! But failure may of course happen with the best products, and Apple as well. The real fault however is Apple's arrogance and failure to fix it! Instead of getting help and guidance to a solution, I used hours and lost days of work, and was made to pay a lot for total unusable "assistance". I was even adviced to hold back on taking the Mac Book Pro to a store, as I was told the support person a senior, would figure it out. Well Apple definiately squezzed the lemon! Since the Time Capsule/Time Machine system didn't fuction I was also in a stale mate as I needed assurance that My files wasn't lost when delivering the machine for repair. I was adviced that could happen. Quite a deadlock wasn't it! As an expert on Quality Assurance I was also suffering lost revenue in my work for clients. I finally had to buy a Samsung Ultrabook as working machine and backup, a neccesity as Apple obviously cannot be trusted when needed. Bill Gates and Windows has one advantage over Apple, they know things can go wrong and hence have much better support. Apple support is a maze were only the strongest and most persistent get through. I am one as I didn't accept being treated like that. That's the only reason I finally got a repair. However the machine is still not functioning as mentioned. I have a case number, a phone number and mail address to a senior support person, whom I've been trying to contact for more than a week, He has still not responded to my mails or phone calls. I cannot even figure out how to contact Apple to complain about such ignorance. Note by the way that here in Norway I must pay to call support and more often than not there is more than half an hour waiting time. I might spend hundred of dollars in that "game" without even knowing that I will get the support I've paid for and only keep paying even more for wasting my time! This is simply not good enough, it is no less than arrogant and wrong! I frankly think Apple is doing a big mistake with such por treatmen of their customers.

Swap space problem on Windows XP

I'm trying to install BI Publisher on Windows XP from a zip file downloaded last week (version 10.1.3.3.2). However after starting setup.exe in the install directory I get the message that my swap space = 0 Mb while 500 Mb is required. After this the installation procedure quits.
I haven't got a clue as what the installer is referring to (swap on windows?) but I have plenty of room om my two (logical) disks, no spaces in the directory name from which I start the installer (D:\download\bipublisher\Windows\OBI\install) and about 1.5 Gb of memory free.
Any hints what to do would be appreciated.

Hi Mjb001,
In computer operating systems that have their main memory divided into pages, paging (sometimes called swapping) is a transfer of pages between main memory and an auxiliary store, such as hard disk drive.[1] Paging is an important part of virtual memory implementation in most contemporary general-purpose operating systems, allowing them to easily use disk storage for data that does not fit into physical RAM. Paging is usually implemented as a task built into the kernel of the operating system.
Windows 3.x creates a hidden file named 386SPART.PAR or WIN386.SWP for use as a swap file. It is generally found in the root directory, but it may appear elsewhere (typically in the WINDOWS directory). Its size depends on how much swap space the system has (a setting selected by the user under Control Panel → Enhanced under "Virtual Memory"). Please check this file.

4.3.2 update messed up my ipod touch... same issues peple complained about with 4.3.1

So the last update 4.3.1 that everyone complained about worked fine with my ipod touch... it was working great actually. Then I did the update for 4.3.2 and crash and burn... now I am having all the issues that people were complaining about with 4.3.1...
Battery life is much shorter than before
Cover art flow is messed up- most of the albums show up as a pixelated mess
Photo library is messed up- the images do not line up in the grid and are all cut off or look like tiled multiple images
When listening to music and the screen shows the full size cover art- the art shows up looking "tiled" not a full centered image.
The screen is kind of glitchy, like it freezes up for a second before doing what it needs to do- for example when the lock screen is on and you unlock it it kind of has this delayed reaction before changing.
Also, the combo of the update and the new itunes is totally screwed up... I am using windows 7 and can't decide if this is a weird windows issue or itunes and the ipod updates, but when I plug in the ipod to sync it will either wipe out all of my music and apps or will instantly freeze and I have to force quit. My back ups no longer work with the new updates, so I had to re-download all of my apps... And when I can get itunes to work for a moment and I sync music the songs usually cut out randomly or skip- so to solve that I resorted to using media monkey- but this doesn't fix the artwork sync issues.
Having spent several hundred dollars on an ipod, i expect this stuff to work!! and it would be great if it worked with the programs as intended, but maybe I have high expectations.
Has anyone else had any of these problems? I am feeling like I might just have to suck it up and deal.

Mine has been doing the exact same thing. It messes up even more with each stupid update they do. One thing that I have found helps is restoring my ipod.

Warning about low disk space on drive E

Hi,
I'm running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion Elite HPE. My main drive i s C and there is also D (Factory image) and then the HP(E: ) one which is giving the warning about low disk space. When I look at what there is in drive E there is a folder called "my name"-PC with a lot of "Backup Set" folders/files in it, and then there is a folder called WindowsImageBackup and subfolder "my name"-PC.
I know I have to clean out these folders but I ma very insecure as to what I can delete.
I'd be very thankful if you could give me some advice in this matter!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

File History in Windows 7 is an extensive image backup of your drive which will steadily increase over time and needs to be cleared and suggest that you turn the feature off. It is not very efficient.
If you wish to delete this Windows Image Backup file, you should disable the automatic backup feature of Windows.
Click on Start button > Control Panel > System and Maintenance> Backup and Restore.
In the left pane, click on "Turn Off Schedule".
From there you can delete the backup files on your E drive.
I also suggest as an alternative, use Macrium Reflect Free every so often as it is more efficient and reliable. It will make a complete image back up of your entire hard drive to an external hard drive. Don't forget to create a rescue disk.
Go to this site and do a Custom Install:

I personally use the Professional Edition which gives me more flexibility and features.
