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.

  • Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time?

    Dear Friends,
    I set up currency translation on our BPC NW 7.0 system and it is working fine ONLY if I run it for any one year at a time. But if I select multiple years in the data package (FX Restatment) selection it only calculates for the first year in that selection.
    say if I run the data package for years: 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, it only performs currency translation for the year 2009.
    Can I run the currency translation for multiple years at the same time ?
    Note: The year is determined from the YEAR property of the "Time" dimension
    appreciate any inputs,
    thanks

    You can run currency translation for multiple years.
    I think the problem it is actually related to how you are sending the parameter to currency translation script.
    Just review the script logic log and you will see with what parameters was called currency translation FXTrans.
    My expectation is that actually the script is called just with first year and that's the problem.
    Log of script logic you can find it into:
    C:\BPC|DATA\Webfolder\YourAppset\YourApplication\Private Publications\Users used to run logic\Temp

    Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

  • Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File for TS3.0

    Hi,
    I am using TestStand 3.0 to a test application. Because we want to have our limits in a csv-file I have tried to use the Import/Export tools in TS. But this application only supports to export limits for the selected sequence (e.g. main, or subseq1) at a time. This makes it a pretty hard job to export limits from 30 test sequences. What I need is a possibility to export my limits from �all sequences� in my seq-file.
    I have found an article on NI Dev. Zone about �Export Limits for Multiple Sequences in the Same Sequence File (TestStand 1.0.x)�.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/niepd_web_display.DISPLAY_EPD4?p_guid=B45EACE3D9CB56A4E034080020E74861&p_node=DZ52236&p_submitted=N&p_rank=&p_answer=&p_sourc
    e=External
    I have tried to use this code but because it�s for TS 1.0.2 the limits from my multi num test step and my custom steptypes isn�t exported. So that doesn�t fulfill my needs.
    Is there an updated version with �all sequences� added to TS 3.0? Is there other good solutions to my problem out there?

    Hi David Mc,
    Thanks for your reply. I have already considered this solution because the source code is added in the folder described in your reply. But that is not a good solution. It will cost me a lot of time to establish the toolchain, reverse engineer the source code, make the implementations and build a new dll (most off these is already knowledge by NI). And when NI make future releases of TestStand I have some merge work to do every time NI have made some changes in the files I have changed.
    But as I write above: I have hoped that NI already has/or could made a solution like the one to 1.0.2 (see link in root) to me. And then they could include it in the next version.
    I don't think I am the only one in the TestStand world that ne

  • Find my Friends : Support for multiple users under the same Apple ID?

    Can multiple users under the same Apple ID use the app to find each other?  My daughter uses my Apple ID with her iPod touch which allows me to monitor her purchases but it seems that only one device under an ID can use the app at a time.  If that is the case then it is a major disadvantage and I will need to go back to using latitude (or Find My iPhone which also allows me to see where all of my devices are at the same time)

  • Best practice for multiple instances of the same BEX query

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering what's the best way to use multiple instances of the same BEX query. Let me explain what I mean:
    I have a dashboard with different queries feeding different period of time such as: week to date, month to date and so on. One query for each since it is based on a user exit.
    For each query I want to show different data in different sections of my dashboard. Per example: sales per directors or sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week and the like.I tried to connect a simple bar chart via a direct connection but with no success due to the multiple lines generated by the addition of the sales director, customer group, week number and so on.
    My question is about the way to connect the different queries efficiently in order to show the different data while avoiding multiple useless lines.
    The image above shows the query browser where, per example, for a Month to date query there will be mutiple line for each week as well as one line for each director. If, for two different components, I want to show data per week and data per director or other representation what is the best practice:
    Add another instance of the same query and only put the week information and another one will only the director info?
    Should I bind those to the excel file and use formulas to make final calculations?
    Will there be a performance issues for adding different instances of the same query
    I have 6 different queries (read 6 user exit that filters time via user exit).
    Depending on the best practices there might be 4 instances for each for a total of 24 instances in the query browser.
    I hope my question is clear enough, if not please do not hesitate I'll clarify as much as possible.
    Regards,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    Might be trying for solution for a long time, If i understood your question clear let me clarify you few points.
    You are trying to access the bex query which is designed with the exit's in the background based on the logic and trying to call the entire dimensions and key-figures in a single connection. Then you are trying to map those data in the charts.
    Steve, try to make more connections based upon the logic and split them. use the same query but split them by sales per customer group, sales per day, sales per week by making three different connections and try. You can merge the prompts from all connections.
    Hope this Helps!!!
    Sorry if i misunderstood your question.

  • How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

    As the title suggests...
    I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer.  (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding  only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time. 
    How do I do that on an AEBS?
    In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines? 
    TL,DR version:  How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.  

    You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

  • Setting up a shared library for multiple accounts on the same machine

    I am in idiot. I can't figure it out. This is exactly what I did.
    1 - I set up multiple accounts on the computer. 1 for me and another for my wife.
    2 - I loaded all the music into my account's public folder.
    3 - I set the default folder in both hers and mine iTunes for this Public folder
    4 - I then opened iTunes in my account and none of the songs were showing up so I dragged the folder into iTunes and it did its business. Now my account is all set.
    Here are my questions:
    A - Do I need to drag the folder into my wife's account iTunes as well?
    B - If either of us add music when logged in, will it automatically update in the other iTunes interface or is there something specific that needs to (manually) be done?

    Doing it the way you did, you each have your own iTunes library file and are using the same iTunes music folder.
    Changes by one will not be seen by the other and any new music added by one will have to be added to the library by the other.
    Also, if one deletes music, it will be in teh library for the other but it will not be playable because the other person deleted it in the iTunes music folder.
    Launch iTunes, then immediately press and hold Option, then select *Create new library*.
    Create one in Users/Shared.
    Quit iTunes.
    Move all your music into the new /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes music folder.
    Login to your Wife's computer account.
    Move all her music into the new /Users/Shared/iTunes/iTunes music folder.
    On her account, launch iTunes, then immediately press and hold Option, then select *Choose existing library*.
    Select the _iTunes library file_ in /Users/Shared/iTunes.
    In iTunes, File -> Add to library and select the iTunes music folder in /Users/Shared/iTunes.
    All the music will be there.
    Quit iTunes and log out of her account and back into your account and launch iTunes normally.
    All music will be there.
    You should go to /Users/Shared/iTunes folder and right click - get info, click *Ownership & Permissions*. Set *You can* to *Read & Write* and set Others to *Read & Write*.
    Click *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Any changes (new/deleted music, ratings, playlists, etc.) by one will be seen by the other sionce you are using the same iTunes library file.
    Only one person can have iTunes open at a time. If you use Fast User switching, one will need to quit iTunes before the other can use it.

  • Import PST files for multiple users at the same time?

    While importing PST files into archive mailboxes, the Exchange 2010 mailbox server went to 100% CPU and memory usage and I could not stop the imports because the EMS stopped responding.  We had to restart the whole server to get back to normal.
    Not sure if importing PSTs was the cause of it it was a coincidence.  We have done imports the same way before without this issue.
    How many PST imports can be done at the same time and how do we queue up multiple users and have the mailbox imports have unique names for each user?  I noticed they are always called MailboxImport and MailboxImport1 and then it starts over as MailboxImport
    again for additional users. So, if more than one user's PSTs are being imported at the same time, we will have multiple identically named imports running.
    We would like multiple users' PST imports to queue up and start automatically when the previous users' imports complete.

    Please try like this. Rename folder name same as alias.  i.e. \\server\share\<alias>. below are examples.
    "\\server\share\jsmith"
    "\\server\share\tjones"
    "\\server\share\rsmith"
    "\\server\share\bspears"
    "\\server\share\mmouse"
    And run below command to take PST from the corresponding
    foreach ($i in (Get-Mailbox)) { New-MailboxImportRequest -Mailbox $i -FilePath "\\Server\share\$($i.Alias)\$($i.Alias).pst" -baditemlimit 50 -acceptlargedataloss ;while ((Get-MailboxImportRequest -mailbox $i | ? {$_.Status -eq "Queued" -or $_.Status -eq "InProgress"})) { sleep 180 } }
    If a folder missing with the alias you will see an error similar to this.I think this will work for you. You just keep only the required PST folders to import in the "\\Server\share" folder. 
    "Unable to open PST file '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.
    Error details: Could
     not find a part of the path '\\server\share\mmouse\mmouse.pst'.

  • Should I use the same Adobe ID for multiple apps in the same publication?

    I've been sifting through documentation on building apps for the Amazon AppStore and Google Play variants of Android for a few days and came across something I'm not too clear on.
    Here's a clip from the documentation page outlining the publishing process for Android devices:
    You cannot use the same Adobe ID to create multiple viewer apps. Create a different Adobe ID for each app. When signing in to publish folios, use the appropriate Adobe ID.
    The reason I am confused is because I thought renditions were used to send certain content to one set of devices (iPads, for example) and another set of content elsewehre.
    We currently pubish for the iPad and do so at iPad 1 resolution.  Would we add yet another Adobe ID to the mix when creating our Android apps? That sounds like a lot of logging in and out during the production and publishing process.
    Thanks for any insight,
    Steven

    Hey Steven,
    You can certainly use the same adobe Id and make renditions for two different App's ( one for android and IOS and so on )
    The point that you are referring to means that if you have two different App's in the App store with separate content than use different Id's...

  • Installing a LOB App for Multiple Accounts On The Same Surface Device

    Hi,
    When installing apps to iOS & Android there is no concept of a local user account, and an app can only be installed once. For Windows devices, a single device can have multiple accounts. Those accounts can be local or domain and have administrator privileges
    or not.
    We are planning to use the Device Enrollment Manager concept in Intune to enroll approximately 200 non-domain joined devices. Each device will have two local accounts - one in English and one in French. We have a LOB Windows App that works in both
    languages. We do not want the local accounts with the App to have administrative permission.
    It seems you need local administrator permission to enroll the device. If I then install the app from this account, it works. However, I need the app installed on the local English and local French account.
    When I log locally into the device using a standard account and log into the Company Portal, it shows the app as installed. It is not, however, installed for that user and is not accessible. Note that I'm using the same Intune account. It is only available
    to the local administrator account. The only option I have is 'Re-Install'. When I select that, nothing happens - it is stuck in the "Installing..." state.
    If I only enroll the device using the local administrator account and then log into the local standard account to install the app, it doesn't show as installed. When I choose to install it, it gets stuck on Installing.
    I'm missing something here...
    Is it possible to install an App from Intune more than once on a Surface device? Do the Intune accounts need to be unique per-install? Is it possible to install the app without local administrator permission?
    Thank you!

    An update. If I:
    Enroll a Windows Surface using a local admin account
    Request to install an app from a local standard account it appears stuck on Installing...
    Log back in as the local admin account and wait, the app appears.
    Questions:
    Can the same app be installed into multiple local accounts on the same device? It doesn't look like it.
    Is the local account used when the device is enrolled the only local account that will install Intune apps?

  • Help: 10.0.1 update for multiple languanges is the same file as for Tier 1 languages.

    I'm trying to deploy the 10.0.1 update to my corporation. I need the multiple language update. When I go to the Downloads site for Adobe Reader, the update for multiple languages languages is the exact same file as the update for Tier 1 languages.

The first time I was told this would be escalated to the web team and to call back. Over a week later no change to the files on the download site so I had to call in again and go through the same painful process to get the person on the phone to understand the problem. Has anyone already gone through this and determined whether that update is Tier 1 or multiple languages? Thank you very much.
