RE: ORA-4030 Out of Process Memory

Thanks a bunch for replying, John. I had a look at the /etc/sysdef file and it seemed
to be exactly the same as yours.....so were the ulimit parameters.

I have logged a call with Oracle but they do not seem too be very responsive either.

Anybody else with any other ideas about what and how to tweak any of the server
or database parameters ??

Any help will b greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Samir

Samir,

Does ulimit -a indicate anything? From my Solaris 8 system:

$ ulimit -a

time(seconds)        unlimited
file(blocks)         unlimited
data(kbytes)         unlimited
stack(kbytes)        8192
coredump(blocks)     unlimited
nofiles(descriptors) 256
vmemory(kbytes)      unlimited

Also look at '/etc/sysdef':

*
* Process Resource Limit Tunables (Current:Maximum)
*
          Infinity:Infinity             cpu time
          Infinity:Infinity             file size
          Infinity:Infinity             heap size
0x0000000000800000:Infinity             stack size
          Infinity:Infinity             core file size
0x0000000000000100:0x0000000000000400   file descriptors
          Infinity:Infinity             mapped memory
