Hi
my open_cursor parameter value is 3000 . I had a watermark (7200) a few days ago, but no alarm has been raised.
why?
I thought number of open cursors per session can be greater than the value 3000 , but also i should have an alaram like "ORA-01000 maximum open cursors exceeded" , right?

let me know if you have any idea
thanks
NiLL

"open_cursors" parameter gives the maximum number of cursors for a session.
It'd be better to show us how you get your watermark but I bet it was for all sessions of the instance.

you mean 7409 is for all sessions?

and what about Collection Schedule? not set for this parameter
so when database checks the value and raises alert?
what does Server Evaluation Frequency mean? is it related to Collection Schedule?

This is why you should NOT rely on GUI.
Use SQL*Plus, then you will know which query you execute and what it retrieves.

I do not use OEM, so can't answer you but I can move the topic to this forum if you want.

In short, "open_cursors" instance parameter gives a limit per session, "v$open_cursor" (if this what EM queries) gives information instance wide.
