Total RAM as seen from top command is 12G.
*2569836* - Total RAM which is being used currently .
How can I see the total RAM used by all Oracle Processes running in this server. The server is Linux X86 64 Bit. Can I sum up the values under 'VIRT' column of 'top' command to see the total RAM used ?
Is there a way to see the total RAM and CPU used by Oracle from top ?
'VIRT' is the virtual memory - In what way is this related to the figure above, which is the physical memory (RAM) ?
Thanks in Advance

Oracle used shared memory to implement the SGA, which constituted the largest memory consumption of the Oracle instance. The problem is that in many modern OS, including linux, it is hard to define the actual memory usage fo a software. This is because the memory used by a process is actually composed of shared (e.g., shared memory, shared library, executable code) and private (e.g., the heap, the stack) components. Utilities like top, ps, etc reports all memory visible by a process, disregarding whether it is shared or not. As a result, the total of VIRT etc will be inflated by the shared components. For a more accurate figure of memory usage, shared memory / library / code should be counted once.
Before 11g, Oracle used System V ipc, and the amount of memory allocated can be checked using ipcs. In 11g, Oracle switched to /dev/shm, use df to check the memory allocation. (Thanks user11150436)
The "Mem used" figure in top is the actual usage of the memory: shared memory and library are not multi-counted. However, Linux will always cache (read before actually requested) and buffer (write after signalling completion) disk I/O. Therefore, "Mem used" is almost always very close to the amount of physical memory. "Mem used" - "buffers" - "cached" reflects the memory actually used by the OS and all programs more accuately.
And you can use the pmap utility to check the memory map. Then you classify the sharable and unsharable memory usage to calculate a more accurate result suiting your need. You need OS knowledge to understand the output.

  • What is the password for 'oracle' user created during XE installation?

    Hi,
    What is the password for 'oracle' user automatically created when XE is installed?
    I installed XE on Linux and it's created under 'oracle' user, but I don't know 'oracle' password. So, I cannot stop TNS listener.
    During configuration, it prompted me to enter SYS and SYSADMIN password but it didn't ask me to enter 'oracle' user password.
    Please let me know or point me to the document.
    Thanks,
    N

    Hi Jari,
    I tried your suggestion, but it didn't work unfortunately.
    When I type (sudo su -oracle) as follows, it still prompts the password. When I hit Enter key w/o anything, it seems to proceed and the prompt shows up in the following line. So, I thought it was successful, but when I checked 'whoami', it's not logged in as 'oracle'.
    So, I created the password for 'oracle' and logged in as 'oracle' using a new password. Then, I stopped TNS listener to uninstall XE.
    It would be nice if it's documented in XE document somewhere... since it's created by XE installation, I assumed some kind of default password was used.
    Thanks,
    N

  • Changing ulimit for Oracle user

    Hi expert,
    I'm using AIX 5.3 TL 9 with Oracle 11g R2.
    Does changing rss in ulimit for oracle user operating system require restart oracle instance ?
    Need your advice.
    Thanks,
    Yusata.

    ulimit values are read only once when the process is started.
    When we are at it: what did 'man ulimit' tell, and why are you asking Unix questions in an Oracle forum?
    Please stop cluttering up this forum with off-topic questions, without them it is enough of a mess already.

  • Password for Oracle user , sys , system , saprpd

    Hi All ,
    I just join a new company as sys admin . I tried to search password for Oracle user sys , system and saprd in my company password file . Those users password are not stored.
    Am I supposed to know those oracle user password ? If yes , Can I find them in my Unix system or sap application ?
    Please help !
    Felix

    It is not possible to determine the passwords if you don't know them. But perhaps note 562863 and the described default passwords are useful. Furthermore you can always change passwords if you have SYSDBA privilege using "alter user ... identified by ..." or "brconnect -f chpass".

  • Groups in Linux needed for 'oracle' user

    I have a new server running OEL6 that I plan to install EM 12C and a database using ASM.
    My install user is 'oracle'. Documentation states that 'oracle' should have the primary group of 'oinstall' and a secondary group of 'dba'.
    Awhile back (before things were Grid Infrastructure) we had some problems with an install and an Oracle support person told me to get rid of 'oinstall', and soley rely on 'dba'. She talked about the numerous support calls serviced by introducing both groups.
    I took her advice, and most of our things are still running with 'oracle' and 'dba'.
    But, we are embarking into a new world, and perhaps the 'oinstall' and 'dba' issues have been worked out, and there is a benefit to having multiple groups. We are a pretty small shop and don't have different groups doing things; we are mostly a few of us required to do it all. In that sense, less is more--more easier to support.
    Are there recommendations for the 'oinstall' and 'dba' groups? Pitfalls encountered?
    Sherrie

    Thanks Loc.
    Most of the documentation that I've read, including the note you mention, says that going forward from 11.2, oinstall should always be used. I think it's a blanket statement intended to cover all bases, and I can understand that architecture in a large group, where one group might be responsible for an install, another group for managing a database, and perhaps someone else managing storage. I'm trying to undersand how oinstall vx dba groups are used, and why oinstall is so important.
    In our group, there are just a few of us, and we do it all.
    We have 5 clusters wiht 28 managed databases at 11.1. All of those were installed with the primary group of dba, and a secondary ground of oinstall. They've been working fine for a few years.
    We are now installing EM12C grid on a new machine, starting with grid infrastructure to get ASM installed, so that our repository database can use it.
    So, on this Linux box we will have ASM, database, agent and OMS. It's a standalone box, and our primary group is oinstall.
    I have been having trouble getting the first step of this completed, installing GI to get ASM up and running. But, that's not part of this question.
    Once I get this all configured and running, I will have to install the new agent on all of our targets. Over on those old boxes, he'll still be installed as 'dba', which can read all of the targets. So I think I'm okiay. It's just that I'm stuck with one foot in each door. But having 2 groups for the 'oracle' user will make it okay.

  • Can ACS run commands at logon for specific users?

    I have a scenario where I'd like a command run at the time a user logs into the device. Can ACS do this on behalf of the user during the logon process?

    Sure. Bigip LTM, once authenticated, drops users into what is called a TMSH shell. This breaks rancid since rancid expects to be in a bash shell.
    You can access bash from TMSH via a command(run util bash). I'd like ACS to pass this command and run it the moment the rancid user logs in. That way subsoquent commands from rancid will work since he will at that point be at a bash prompt.
    Basically a logon script that runs commands for the user at the time the user logs in.

  • Ulimit for oracle user

    OL 5.6 x86-64, running under VirtualBox
    Background
    I've built quite a few sandbox servers under Vbox, and always loaded the necessary packages with a 'yum install oracle-validated'. Also using a standard template .bash_profile, that includes this information regarding ulimit
    if [ $USER = "oracle" ]; then
      if [ $SHELL = "/bin/ksh" ]; then
        ulimit -p 16384
        ulimit -n 65536
      else
        ulimit -u 16384 -n 65536
      fi
    fi
    #no problems with any of the above
    Issue
    Now I've decided to build a box that mimics one of my production servers as closely as I can get it. To that end, instead of installing 'oracle-validated', I went to the production box and captured the output of 'rpm -qa', then edited that output turn each line into a 'yum -y install ...' command, and executed the result on the vm.
    Now, when I connect as 'oracle' I get
    -bash: ulimit: max user processes: cannot modify limit: Operation not permittedI'm not sure of what I could have done differently this time to result in this behavior.

    The ulimit facility provides hard and soft limits. With the ulimit command, you can change your soft limits, up to the maximum set by the hard limits.
    To see current hard and soft limits:
    ulimit -Ha
    ulimit -Sa
    Account specific limits are set in /etc/security/limits.conf. You will most likely need to increase the limits of the Oracle user. In particular add the following:
    oracle soft nofile 131072
    oracle hard nofile 131072
    oracle soft nproc 131072
    oracle hard nproc 131072
    oracle soft core unlimited
    oracle hard core unlimited
    oracle soft memlock 50000000
    oracle hard memlock 50000000
    The oracle-validated package does more than just triggering the installation of additional packages. It also sets various system kernel and oracle account parameters. For details:
    # wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL5/latest/x86_64/oracle-validated-1.1.0-17.el5.x86_64.rpm
    # rpm2cpio oracle-validated-1.1.0-17.el5.x86_64.rpm | cpio -idmv
    Then analyze the files.

  • How to enable Scheduling in Discoverer for Oracle users?

    Hi,
    For accessing discoverer, our users are uaing Oracle usernames.
    how can i enable scheduling for them?
    we have already enabled scheduling for users who use database login to use discoverer. but not able to link oracle users to database.
    are they linked through the responsibilities they use for logging?
    thanks,
    Gayatri

    Hi Gayatri
    If you're working in Apps mode and logging in with an E-Business Suite user account then by default the database account that will be used to access the database is APPS. You should not change this and there is nothing that you need to do to set this up apart from grant the user permission to schedule. You do that on the Scheduled Workbooks tab of the Privileges dialog box after choosing Tools | Privileges in the Administrator tool.
    On a non-E-Business Suite application you can either grant privileges direct to the user or you can specify a proxy user for storing the scheduled results. In order to create such a proxy user you would need to run the script called batchusr.sql which you will find in this folder: $ORACLE_HOME\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util on the Windows machine where you have installed the Discoverer Administrator tool. In most cases this will be: C:\Oracle\BIToolsHome_1\discoverer\util
    The following link will help considerably: http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13916_04/scheduled_workbooks.htm#i1011948
    Another method would be to use Oracle's concurrent manager to schedule the reports. My good friend Rod West has an article on this which I am hosting here on my website: http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf
    I hope this helps

  • Minimum rights needed for Oracle user to run BO

    Hi team,
    One of my customer here made connection from BO XI installer to oracle database with this user B_A. Say this user is the admin user of CMS db. Now he finds that the user B_A  user has schema role rights which customer doesn't want
    and he wants to remove those rights.
    he wants to know what are the minimum privileges or rights oracle user needs to keep BO XI running without problem and if he can remove those excess schema rights from that.
    could some one please help me
    Regards,

    Well, Oracle DBA should be able to answer all those questions for the customer.
    I'm not a DBA, so my unerstanding of Role is that they are the predefined collections of rights users have on the DB according to the usual roles users play.
    So when DBA's are managing Oracle DB they don't have to assign each user every single right, but can just assign Roles, which will include most common rights....
    If we're talking rights alone - BOE CMS DB user need create, delete, modify, expand, write, insert etc... 
    There is absolutly no reason why CMS DB schema owner cannot have all the default rights that come with Resource and Connect roles.

  • Idle time for Oracle user

    Hi,
    we have PS FSCM9 with Oracle DB 10g R2. For the moment idle time for Default profile of Oracle users in DB is UNLIMITED. I wonder if I change it to 90 Minutes (in order to have less memory usage for idle sessions) there would be a probleme for PeopleSoft ERP ?
    Thanks before.

    It could be an issue since Peoplesoft is working through Application server and connection pool. It could stopped (or killed) application server connection client, which you would avoid to be able to reconnect later on with other front end user.

    It looks like this process (24420) run for a long time...
    I'm not sure it's related to EBS running on this machine.
    Try to shutdown all EBS components on this machine and check if this process still exist.
