Hi,

What can cause a lot of entries like this in the alert.log (3 or more per second)?
Fri Feb 22 21:06:51 2013
ALTER SYSTEM SET parallel_max_servers=1024 SCOPE=MEMORY;
Fri Feb 22 21:06:51 2013
ALTER SYSTEM SET parallel_max_servers=1024 SCOPE=MEMORY;
Fri Feb 22 21:06:51 2013
ALTER SYSTEM SET parallel_max_servers=1024 SCOPE=MEMORY;

Looks very suspiciously like a runaway script, but why the scope=MEMORY?
Alternatively, Oracle is tracing autotuning operations?

Anyone seen this before?

Best regards.
Frank

May be below link give you some clue (but not sure though):
http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/75289/2/

http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/server.112/e16541/parallel005.htm#CIHHJFFC

My wild guess is that since default value is dependent upon CPU_COUNT, PARALLEL_THREADS_PER_CPU, and PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET, so if you just play around these parameter(s), you may be near to find the reason about it.
