What is the difference between full checkpoint and incremental checkpoint?

What is the difference between full checkpoint and incremental checkpoint?
And what is checkpoint queue?
Can someone clarify these concepts?
Thanks!

Hi,
there are different types of checkpoints:
- Full checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can be triggered by different events, like a logswitch, a manual checkpoint (alter system ..), a shutdown and so on
This is the setup point for SMON for a crash recovery.
- Partial checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers of a singel tablespace from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can e triggered by an ALTER TABLESPACE OFFLINE, ALTER TABLESPACE READ ONLY, ALTER TABLESPACE BEGIN BACKUP statement.
Incremental checkpoint:
number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- can be triggered by different events, like a logswitch, a manual checkpoint (alter system ..), a shutdown and so on
- Partial checkpoint:
=> DBWR writes all dirty buffers of a single tablespace from the Buffer cache to the datafiles and CKPT retrieves a new Checkpoint Change Number from a sys owned sequence and writes this number to all file headers and the controlfile.
-- frequency is determined by FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET parameter (new feature to Oracle 9i), with wich you can specify a time in seconds which SMON is allowed to take maximal for a Crash Recovery until the database must be open again.
Dapending on the system you have SMON must calculate the maximum number of Redolog-blocks which it can manage to recover in the specified number of seconds. It will then create so called incremental checkpoints which will be tracked in the so called checkpoint queue in memory.
FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is auto-tuned in Oracle 10g and Oracle tries to manage (incremental) checkpoint in a fashion that a minimum of I/Os are caused and a minimum time for crash recovery is needed.
If you set LOG_CHECKPOINTS_TO_ALERT to TRUE you will find checkpoint information in the alertSID.log file. You will see FULL and INCREMENTAL checkpoints then.
Hope this clarifies your question,

  • What's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"

    Just re-install a new OS X Lion. On the "Create Your Computer Account" screen, what's the difference between "Full Name" and "Account Name"?

    Your computer name by default would be "John David Appleseed's Macbook Pro"
    But you can always change that in System Preferences->Sharing
    And yes, the first account you set up will be an administrator.

  • What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

    What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
    I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
    I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
    Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
    There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
    I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
    So far not doing very well.

    Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

  • What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

    What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
    Thank you.

    Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
    Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
    Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
    KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
    Just try them, and choose the one you like

  • What is the difference between (SEPA Structured) and (SEPA Unstructured)?

    Hi,
    Could you please teach me about "Format Payments (SEPA Structured)"
    and "Format Payments (SEPA Unstructured)"?
    1.What is Format Payments (SEPA Structured)?
    Is (SEPA Structured) used with which case?
    2.What is Format Payments (SEPA Unstructured)?
    Is (SEPA Unstructured) used with which case?
    3.What is the difference between (SEPA Structured) and (SEPA Unstructured)?
    The customer is checking Note.791226.1.
    However, he says that he cannot understand these two differences.
    Please teach me.
    Thanks.

    From the European Payments Council website:
    Remittance information: structure the unstructured
    The SEPA Credit Transfer Scheme permits the end-to-end carrying of remittance data on a structured or unstructured basis appropriate to the nature of the payment (the remittance information usually contains details of the contract underlying the transaction such as an invoice number, for example). The length of the remittance information in the SCT Scheme is fixed at a standard length of 140 characters and banks are obliged to pass on the full remittance information.
    The EPC supports a proposal developed by the European Association of Corporate Treasurers (EACT), which allows companies to agree on a structure for the remittance information. The EACT suggestion on how to structure the "unstructured" remittance fields allows companies exchanging a credit transfer to agree, among other, on information to be transmitted in a specific manner. Banks will carry remittance information structured in such an agreed way unaltered throughout the process chain.

  • What is the Difference between S/N and SINAD?

    Hey,
    can any one give me the answer for the following question.
    What is the difference between S/N and SINAD?

    S/N measures the difference typically between the signal (or full scale input range) and the thermal noise floor, usually in dB.
    SINAD is similar except for the fact that it also takes into account spurs in the frequency domain. So SINAD should always be <= S/N. SINAD is similar to Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR).
    Dynamic range is a term sometimes used for these concepts, but dynamic range is vague in that it doesn't make clear whether spurs should be taken into account. SFDR eliminates that ambiguity, as well as S/N or SNR.

    Hi,
    Upgrade SAP or Installation of SAP R/3 and ECC
    What is ECC?  Where to find the installation steps of  ECC 5/6.0 with SQL as database and on windows platform with the steps including Solution Manager installation?
    http://service.sap.com/instguides
    ECC means Enterprise Central Component.
    There are all the relevant installation guides. You NEED SAPNet access because without a registered and licensed SolMan installation number you will not be able to generate the SolMan key for the ECC installation.
    Upgrade to 4.7
    Have you gone through an upgrade to 4.7? 
    What are the difference or changes associated with 4.7. 
    If you are currently on 4.6C and are inching forward to upgrading to 4.7 then this information might be useful to you.
    There is very little difference between 4.6 and 4.7, the only "steps" you should need are steps in SU25 ( skip step 1) Then go through all your role and perform a merge old new to bring in the new authorization objects 
    Just to forewarn you of a potential problem which have been encounter at the point of writing.
    After updating/ modifying roles in step 2C, when going back into 2C to make sure all roles are now green, 70% have gone back to red! 
    The maintenance done is ok, but there seems to be a problem while trying to go back into the roles again to re-generate. 
    SAP recognizes them as needing "adjustment", so you cannot pick them up in mass generate in PFCG as they do not come in, even though the authorizations tab is red. 
    This problem is currently with SAP and it is confirmed that nothing have been done wrongly. 
    Generally, the work is quite manageable in the upgrade, but don't be surprised at how big the upgrade is when compared to upgrading from 46b to 46c.
    If we have full software of 46c and 47E is it possible to upgrade 46c to 47E or there is a seperate 47E upgrade software need to be requested from SAP?
    Where I can get the document with upgrade steps on the service market place?
    It is of course possible and supported:
    http://service.sap.com/inguides
    --> SAP Components
    --> SAP R/3 Enterprise
    --> (choose your version)
    at the bottom there is an "Upgrade guide" for Windows and Unix.
    For Upgrades it is recommended to read ALL the notes mentioned in the 
    upgrade guide and to make sure one is using
    - the correct version of the "tp" program
    - the correct version of the "R3trans" program
    - the correct version of the "R3up" program
    All that is explained in the upgrade guide and in the corresponding notes.
    If this is your first upgrade you should take a person, that has some experience on doing that for the first time.
    Installation of SAP R/3
    Currently we are going to install SAP on a new IBM server from the existing COMPAQ server. Where can I get the steps for that. 
    Configuration is :
       OS - windows 2003 server
       DB - Oracle 9i
       SAP 4.7
    http://service.sap.com/instguides
    --> SAP Components
    --> SAP R/3 Enterprise
    --> SAP R/3 Enterprise Core 4.70 / Ext. Set 2.00 (SR1)
    --> Inst. Guide - R/3 Enterprise 4.7 x 2.00 SR1 on Win: Oracle
    The above url is the SAP Service Marketplace with all the information you need to install, configure and run system. You need to be a valid licensed customer with a user ID and PASSWORD to use that.
    Without access you won't be able to successfully run any SAP systems because it has notes, patches etc.

  • What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?

    What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?
    P35 Platinum
    P35 Neo2 FIR
    BIOS is identical?

    The P35 Neo2 is FIR is actually listed as P35 Neo2 FR/FIR. It is what you could call a "modular mainboard".  Even if it has the same PCB as the P35 Platinum mainboard, it doesn't necessarily mean, that it will always come with the same features.
    If you look at the mainboard manual you will find that the ICH9R-Chipset and Firewire are mentioned as optional features. That means you will be able to purchase versions of this mainboard that will only have an ICH9 chipset and therefore won't support RAID or that don't have a firewire interface. 
    The abbreviation F,I and R have the following meaning:
    F...Gigabit LAN
    I... Firewire
    R...RAID
    In case you decide to buy the P35 Neo2 mainboard, pay close attention to the feature list. Even if the board is listed as FIR by a specific dealer, make sure it really comes with firewire and an ICH9R-chipset. If someone decides to sell the board with the full name that appears on the MSI Support Site (FR/FIR) he might be actually trying to sell a P35 Neo2-F trying to get a better price. 

  • What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords?

    What is the difference between Topic Keywords and Index File Keywords? Any advantages to using one over the other? Do they appear differently in the generated index?
    RH9.0.2.271
    I'm using Webhelp

    Hi there
    When you create a RoboHelp project you end up with many different ancillary files that are used to store different bits of information. Many of these files bear the name you assigned to the project at the time you created it. The index file has the project name and it ends with a .HHK file extension. (HHK meaning HTML Help Keywords)
    Generally, unless you change RoboHelp's settings, you add keywords to this file and associate topics to the keywords via the Index pod. At the time you compile a CHM or generate other types of output, the file is consulted and the index is built.
    As I said earlier, the default is to add keywords to the Index file until you configure RoboHelp to add the keywords to the topics themselves. Once you change this, any keyword added will become a META tag in the topic code. If your keyword is BOFFO, the META tag would look like this:
    <meta name="MS-HKWD" content="BOFFO" />
    When the help is compiled or generated, the Index (.HHK) file is consulted as normal, but any topics containing keywords added in this manner are also added to the Index you end up with. From the appearance perspective, the end user woudn't know the difference or be able to tell. Heck, if all you ever did was interact with the Index pod, you, as an author wouldn't know either. Well, other than the fact that the icons appear differently.
    Operationally, keywords added to the topics themselves may hold an advantage in that if you were to import these topics into other projects, the Index keywords would already be present.
    Hopefully this helps... Rick

  • What is the difference between jsp :include and server side include

    what is the difference between jsp :include and server side include(request dispatcher include method)????
    i understand that both request dispatcher include method and jsp:include take dynamic data,so when would one use request dispatcher include and when jsp:include.
    Is the usage interchangeable?i believe jsp include is used only for jsp/html but include directive can be used to include servlets ,jsp and html....correct me if i m wrong and
    do suggest if u hav ny other diff in this context...

    The difference really is: in what format do you want your inclusions? If your environment has many Java developers and only a few designers that focus mainly on, say, Flash, that might push you more towards the server-side include() directive. Or, if you have a large set of pages that receive dynamic content that is displayed in a consistent fashion (such as a workflow header area on a page).
    If, on the other hand, you have more web designers, there may be a greater desire to deal in markup rather than Java code. Java developers themselves might prefer to view markup (JSP) that more resembles the eventual output than something occuring in Java code.
    Finally, there are considerations of tiering. While it is totally possible to (and I have previously) implement 'view classes' that render markup or generate layout templates, JSP's offer, IMO, a subtle, psychological advantage. By forcing a developer to work in a different format, markup versus Java source, the separation on view from controller and model becomes a bit easier. It is still possible to make mistakes, but if a developer at some point notices, "Wait, I'm in a JSP, should I be importing a java.sql class?", then the choice to use JSP includes has paid off in spades.

    Any call made from the API will automatically be set to the “Session Timeout” period, no matter
    what. Calls made from EWA (Excel Web Access) will get the “Short Session Timeout” period assigned to it initially.

  • What is the difference between document class and normal class

    Hi,
    Please let me know what is the difference between document class and normal class.
    And I have no idea which class should call as document class or call as an object.
    Thanks
    -Actionscript Developer

    the document class is invoked immediately when your swf opens.  the document class must subclass the sprite or movieclip class.
    all other classes are invoked explicitly with code and need not subclass any other class.

  • In OSX Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory

    In OS X Activity Monitor, what's the difference between 'free' memory and 'inactive' memory. My daughters 2Gb MacBook Pro is very slow, it probably needs more memory but there is almost 1Gb of 'inactive' memory but no 'free' memory when an application is opened.
    Thanks

    Free RAM is the one that has not been used by any application since you started up your Mac, and inactive RAM is the one that was used by an application and it is not in use anymore.
    1 GB of inactive RAM is a lot, and it may be the cause of the slowness. There are a lot of apps that allows you to turn inactive into free RAM. I use FreeMemory, but have a look at the Mac App Store.
    If you are a developer, you can do that with a command you can type into Terminal:
    sudo purge
