Sga_max_size is it recommended  ?

Good Morning to all ;
I need to check few things about ( oracle instance registration). So i am trying to create new DB.
My pfile parameters are db_name=proddb
compatible=10.2.0
instance_name=prodins
sga_max_size=900m
control_files ='/u01/app/oracle/oradata/proddb/control01.ctl'
background_dump_dest=/u01/app/oracle/admin/proddb/bdump
core_dump_dest=/u01/app/oracle/admin/proddb/cdump
user_dump_dest=/u01/app/oracle/admin/proddb/udump
undo_management=auto
undo_tablespace=undotbs

When i am executing catalog.sql script i am getting following error ;

  • Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g

    hi all DBA experts.
    I am not good familiar with Oracle database while i read a Note 830576 - Parameter recommendations for Oracle 10g. in which SAP General Recommendation:
    You should delete obsolete initialization parameters from the profile.
    To determine which obsolete parameters are currently set, proceed as follows:
    SQL> SELECT NAME FROM V$OBSOLETE_PARAMETER WHERE ISSPECIFIED = 'TRUE';
    when i execute above command then result is no rows selected
    while there are many parameters in above SAP Note which are already obsolete and not set in initSID.ora file.
    for exp.  the parameter OPTIMIZER_INDEX_COST_ADJ  is showing
    #### OPTIMIZER MODE
    #optimizer_index_cost_adj = 10
    as you know that this parameter is very important regarding System Performance.
    now please guide me . I have to set these parameter or no need while there is not showing any parameters against obsolete command.
    waiting you valuable reply.
    Regards,

    hi both,
    thanks for knowledge sharing with me other SDN users,
    Dear Orkun,
    Ok. At this stage, I can recommend you that apply what they have suggested,
    in the message. So, you already did a part of it by configuring
    Oracle parameters, already.

  • SGA_MAX_SIZE limitations in Oracle 9i

    Hello everyone,
    I did oracle 9.2.0.4 installation on RHEL4 and created one database.
    I was editing init parameters depending upon our database requirements.
    while setting parameter SGA_MAX_SIZE=2.5GB i got an error regarding "Shared Memory Segment" and i not able to set my SGA_MAX_SIZE more than 1.5GB.
    I am pretty sure this error is due to kernel parameter shmmax.
    And as per oracle recommendations we can set kernel.shmmax to 4GB at max.. So we set our shmmax to 4GB.. but this is not allowing me to set my sga_max_size more than 1.5G
    Any recommendations, suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • SGA_MAX_SIZE and shmmax values

    All,
    My environment is
    Oralce - 10.2.0.4.0
    Two node RAC environment
    Red hat Enterprise Linux 5 64 bit operating system
    RAM size - 64 GB
    shmmax - 4294967295 (one byte less than 4 GB)
    SGA_MAX_SIZE = 3808M
    SGA_TARGET = 3808M
    PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=1000M
    When I run the ADDM, it is telling that SGA was inadequately sized, increase the sga_target to 4760M. It says that 33% impact.
    In my case, I need to increase SGA_MAX_SIZE.
    I may be wrong, but from google, i assume that SGA_MAX_ZIZE can't be more than shmmax. Is it true?
    If I have to increase the shmax, is it fine to increase to 5 GB based on ADDM recommendataion. Are there any harm to increase the shmmax to 20GB are so for safer side?
    Any relation beween shmmax and RAM size?
    If I have to alter the SGA_MAX_SIZE in RAC, I need to bounce the database or i can do one instance at a time right. If I am going with one node at a time, since it is a production, what will happen to the connections in that node when i am restarting that particular instance? I have a TAF policy of "Basic".
    is it like all the select statements will be moved to survival node whereas insert, update and delete transactions will be broken?
    Awaiting your help..

    Always it is recommended to keep "shmmax" half the size of physical memory.
    First you need to increase shmmax and then increase the SGA_MAX_SIZE as per ADDM.
    See the below doc for all your answers answers.

  • Cahnge sga_target & sga_max_size ?

    Dear Friends ,
    I want to change the value of sga_max_size , sga_target using "ALTER SYSTEM SET .... scope=spfile " command in my production database server .
    Now I need the suggestion which one I need to change First , sga_max_size or the sga_target ?
    I want to set ,
    sga_target = 15000 M and sga_max_size = 18000 M
    Can u plz advice me ?
    my another query ,
    For the 15000 M sga_target size , what is the recommended size for the PGA , i.e., which value I need to set for the PGA for the value of "sga_target = 1500 M " .
    advice me plz ...........
    Edited by: shipon_97 on Nov 11, 2008 8:09 PM

    >
    As mentioned, if you only change spfile value, the order doesn't matter. But to be on the safe side, change sga_max_size first.
    Because if you forget to change sga_max_size after your increase sga_target beyond it, your instance can't startup nexttime. You will have to recreate a spfile because you can't edit spfile.

    PGA setting is not directly related to SGA size.

    Hi,
    Before go out to buy a converter/transformer  (you need over 2KW for all 3 of them), please check the switches at the back, they may have switches to switch from 110V to 220V. I don't know your market, my suggestion: talk with an electrician who knows the real world much better.

  • How are Game Center "Friend Recommendations" people I know in real life? (Meetup/Facebook data?)

    This seems like a major privacy concern, but mainly I'm just very curious how this can possibly happen:
    The Game Center app suggests primarily people I have met in real life... but have had NO online interaction with!
    I life in a high-population US city, yet at least 2/3 of my Friend Recommendations (maybe more if they had photos or knew these peoples' last names) are people I have actually MET in person and know vaguely... but who I do now know well and who are NOT friends/contacts in any online service.
    I have never emailed them (with two exceptions); we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names. I didn't even know that they owned iOS devices or played games at all!
    We have certainly never played games with one another before; in fact, I have never used Game Center's friend feature and I don't have any GC friends. I only play random matches, and almost always on non-GC game services, for that matter.
    None of them has ever made a friend request to me. I've only ever gotten one GC request, long ago, and I denied it; it was not someone I knew.
    Some of them list "zero games in common" so it's not even that (and anyway, millions of people have games in common with me).
    Only one of them is in my Contacts (iOS/Mac address book), and knowing how serious they are about privacy, I doubt the email address I have is their AppleID. I know your address book can (for now) be accessed without permission, but these people just aren't listed.
    But I DO run into these recommendations in person every so often!
    These cannot be randomly selected by geography because a) they're not super close to me in miles, and b) there are millions of iOS users near me. No way that most of the suggestions would be people I've met, if this were chance alone. SOME source of data is being used by GC, and I'm baffled as to what it could be.
    The closest three theories I can come up with are all pretty implausible:
    1. Indirect Facebook connection. These people are NOT my Facebook friends (with a couple exceptions; I never actually use Facebook but I do have an account, and if someone requests, I generally accept). I double-checked that. But they MAY be "friends of friends" possibly. But how would Apple obtain my FB friend list? And if they did have it, wouldn't they just suggest my actual FB friends, not friends-of-friends? My Facebook login email address is an alumni address that I have never used for any other purpuse; it is not my Apple ID. And I have diligently set nearly every option to "hidden" on Facebook: even friends see a mostly blank profile!
    2. Meetup.com. This is a 100% correlation! I'm in several local groups that use Meetup.com to schedule meetings, and ALL of these Game Center recommendations are memebers of Meetup groups that I too am a member of. That's how I've met most of them. But Meetup has no "friends" feature, and most of these people have had no online connection with me (Meetup messages etc.) through Meetup. We've just attended the same events--which do have online RSVP lists--or else we are merely listed as members of the same group(s). (But we're talking large groups, so I haven't actually met most of the members, and I have met most of these GC recommendations.) But how would Apple obtain my Meetup info? Again my Meetup account's email address is not my Apple ID, and I have never used that email address with any Apple service (although it is on my Contacts card).
    3. Maybe Apple harvested my address book/contacts list (which does NOT contain these people), and also harvested the contacts lists of these people, AND also harvested the contacts lists of people we know in common who happen to have both of us listed. Then they put it all together. (That's a stretch: the people I know the best on Meetup--whose info I do have in Contacts--are Android users!) But again, why not recommend my actual contacts, instead of contacts-of-contacts? My actual contacts--which contain numerous iOS users and games--are notably absent from the recommendations (with one exception).
    Obivously Apple cannot, and does not, literally know who I have met. (No foil hat for me!) But they DO seem to have some data source that correlates closely with people I have met (and Meetup activity especially). I'm dying to know how that's possible.
    This is a privacy concern, for at least three reasons I can think of:
    1. GC lists these people's real names AND GC nicknames together--BEFORE I have accepted them as friends! And vice versa, I'm sure my nickname is being shown with my real name to total strangers. That means strangers, employers, stalkers, whoever, can now tie a person to their nickname (often the same one they use all over the Interner, not just GC). But we're not talking random suggestions: this is being show to people I DO know. Maybe I don't want them Googling my online nicknames! Maybe I complain about my work with that nickname Maybe I want my online friends and real-life acquaintainces kept separate. I definitely want EVERYTHING kept separate from these people I barely know but run into from time to time! One of these people is, in fact, on the sex offenders registry, and has stalked a friend of mine both online and offline. Maybe he'll learn my GC nickname--the same way it has shown me his--and can now Google that!
    2. If I have a lot of "games in common" listed, then they can peg me as a "gamer," which is sometimes a negative. Maybe I want my boss (or whoever) to think I'm more serious, even if he games too, and now he knows I have 30 games and wonders why I'm not staying late to work Maybe I just don't want to be roped into being "friends" online with my boss, or having to let him win games! Again, although this is a small issue at first glance, it's less small when things are being shared with people you really DO know in real life. What if my hypothetical stalker sees I have games in common? Sure, I can deny their friend request and cancel their 500 game attempts, but I'd rather be 100% hidden from them in the first place. I have no prior online contact, I want it to stay that way, and I've never given Apple permission, that I know of, to share my real name with people I never friended. (And even if I did, it should be with random strangers--not actual acquaintances.)
    3. The big mystery--how is Apple getting data that correlates with who I've met in the first place? I'm guessing that some people see the same pattern I do, and some don't; which might lead to an answer, but so far I'm stumped. (If this does tie to Meetup some bizarre way, that would be unnerving because Meetup ties me to real places and specific times.)
    Theories are welcome! And a basic question: what data sources DOES Game Center have available to use in making friend suggestions? I would have guessed maybe Location Services (nearby people) and people who have played a game with me (or made a friend request) in the past. But those sources are not what I'm seeing.
    (Even weirder is that nobody else seems to have posted about this happening; it may not happen to everyone, but surely some people have had this same question? I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel...)

    That's a good thought that could explain some cases, but not mine: these people definitely don't know my email address, and I'm not in their Address Book. (Some of these are people I might meet on a hike, say, and nod to in passing on other hikes once a or twice a year, and that's the extent of the "relationship"--no contact info ever exchanged. We don't even know what cities each other are from.)
    we don't even know each others' email addresses, and even if we did, my Apple ID email is not one I use for actual emailing purposes. Nor do we know each others' phone numbers, nor gaming nicknames; often not even last names.
    I should correct my first post: I said I "do now know well"... that should be "do NOT know well".

  • Can no longer recommend Fascinate due to non-support of issues -  class action time?

    I loved my Fascinate when I got it, but the failure of Verizon to promptly resolve KNOWN software issues with known-to-Verizon solutions constitutes something dangerously close to fraud.  Like others, I was promised a prompt upgrade to Froyo by a Verizon rep when I bought the phone.  Like others. my GPS performance is terrible, with frequent delays of 10 minutes to infinity to achieve a location lock.  Like others, I let my 30 day return expire because I was promised a software fix was coming out Real Soon Now, so now I am screwed.
    The issue is NOT the delayed Froyo update,the issue is that the phone does not function as promised by Verizon when sold.  Knowing sale of a defective product that does not meet its advertised features is fraudulent under the commercial code in any state of the union.
    Therefore I am doing some of the few things I can do under the circumstances:
    First of all, new buyers are warned that the phone DOES NOT WORK as advertised in many cases due to software issues with GPS, email push, and other features.  If you buy it, don't expect it to work.  If you are promised otherwise by a Verizon store or rep, be warned that the promises are empty.  Be warned that the Verizon implementation of Bing en lieu of Google search and other disruptions of the base Google services makes the phone almost unusable compared to a true Android environment such as that on certain other Android phones and providers.  Bing is terrible. VZNavigator is a rip off (and terrible).  If you are a lawyer interested in a class action against Verizon related to thi sphone be aware that you should have plenty of interested parties.  Personally I would like my service fees waved for the period from September when I bought the phone through whenever-they-actually-make-it-work with debugged software.  It is clear that engineering KNOWS how to make the GPS work even without a full Froyo update - they just haven't released a patch.
    I wish I could love this phone - but I can't recommend it any more to any one for any reason until Samsung/Verizon fix the software and de-Bing and de-bloat an otherwise excellent piece of hardware.  This is EXACTLY what Apple got right, and that Verizon has wrong.  A pox on them and their bloatware and BIng and broken search functions.  It's like a bad dream.  Swapping the hardware out for another Fasicinate won't fix it.  I'm stuck.

    Do I actually expect to see a suit?  No, not really.  But, message reads on the first page of the Fascinate forum suggest that as of now at least 4000 potential Fascinate owners may have received enough reasons to consider either a different phone or a different carrier.  Verizon execs might have a look over the fence at IPhone land, where there is a mob wielding torches and pitch forks that loves their iPhones (but hates ATT for the poor service experience).  Provide even average service and you build brand loyalty that overcomes almost any foul up.  Give your customers good reasons to hate you, and they surely will.
    Today I drove a 30 mile round trip with a fresh A-GPS almanac and never got GPS located closer than 1100 yards.  If it ever DOES synch, it will be good to 10 ft.  and stay locked until I go indoors.  If.  The Bluetooth refused to connect (again).  Works great WHEN it actually occasionally works though.  The hardware can do it.  The software is a bad joke.  Is is Samsung's fault?  Maybe.  Could Verizon provide a timely fix by internal or Samsung resources? Definitely. Samsung has fixed these issues for other markets long ago.   The shame is that it takes what could be a great experience and sours it all.  It's not about Froyo, it's about having basic features that work.  While some of thse phones work perfectly, some combination of hardware and software issues means that too many customers did not receive what the paid for, and they have good reason to be angry with Verizon for the poor experience and callous treatment.

  • Final Cut Studio 2: Requirements and Recommendations

    Hello Final Cut Studio 2 Experts,
    I'm considering purchasing Final Cut Studi 2, and to make sure that I'll benefit from the full range of specific application (FCS/motion/color...) and I'd like to ask few questions (5 main points) regarding requirements and recommendations. So, please be prepared for much reading as I am not an expert on the matter. I like to know if my computer accepts any further hardware parts highly recommended and if I can purchase and install them myself. And yes, you should also know that I intend to use a Panasonic multi-format (HD/SD) camera for capturing and exporting videos.
    N.B. Please note that the full list of my Hardware contents appear at the bottom of this text.

  • Printer recommendations please.

    Hi, I need a new printer and would like recommendations as to what to buy. The last printer I bought was an HP 1220c for an Imac running OS 9. When I upgraded to OS X I lost many of the printer's features, booklet and two sided printing most frustratingly, and never regained them. I need booklet printing, two sided printing, and preferably large format printing. I am looking at two printers from HP in particular, the OfficeJet 7300 at <http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-238444-410635-12019-f51-39 1181.html>, and the Deskjet 9800 at <http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/productdetail.do?product_code=C8165A%23A2L&tab=overview&storeName=storefronts&landing=p rinters&category=inkjets&subcat1=seeall&catLevel=3#defaultAnchor>. HP claims that they are MAC compatible, but I don't trust them. If anyone has personal experience with either of these printers, I would appreciate your opinions of them.
    Thank you, Caoim

    I also have a HP DeskJet 1220c and had problems with it using OSX. I tried many solutions (selected print drivers), but ended up purchasing a print driver for the 1220c from PrintFab. http://www.printfab.net/ I had to experiment with the menus to get the best print quality, but finally got good results. I don't print two-sided, so I don't know if that would still be a problem. (There is a menu for paper handling.) You can download a demo version to try and see if it works for you. Just another option you can try before purchasing a new printer.

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • Can anyone recommend a second hard drive for my PowerPC G5

    Hi,
    Sorry if this question has been asked before but I need the answer in a hurry.
    I need to fit a second hard drive into my PowerPC G5 - and I have never done this before. I phoned a company to buy a drive and they said that there can be compatibility problems with certian drives and Macs. A friend at work also confirmed this and pointed me to the site www.xlr8yourmac.com which has a database of drives and their associated problems.
    Unfortunately I don't have time to digest all of the info. I am letting a friend use my Mac for a project that they are working on and they need the space urgently. They are working to a strict deadline.
    So basically what I would like to know is if anyone can recommend a drive that I can fit without it causing any problems. I need a high quality, fast and very quiet drive for audio and video production. The drive should be 250GB, 7200RPM, 16MB cache. The Mac support pages say it must be a serial ATA drive but I have no idea if you can use ATAII or ATA300 (or any other number???).
    Also - as I have never done this before - I have heard 'jumpers' mentioned - will I need to set the jumpers to a particular configuration?
    Thanks in advance, Byron.

  • ISE 1.2 VM file system recommendation

    Hi,
    According to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ise/1.2/installation_guide/ise_vmware.html#wp1056074, tabl 4-1 discusses storage requirement for ISE 1.2 in VM environment.  It recommends VMFS.
    What are the implications when using NFS instead?  Is this just a recommendation or an actual requirement?
    At the moment, we use Netapp array which uses NFS for all vApps.  It will be difficult to justify a creation an additional FC HBA just for this one vApp.  Please explain.
    TIA,
    Byung
