RE: sysresv doesn't work on AIX

I did some testing with this on HP-UX 11.00 and 11.11. What appears to matter is the userid, should be the owner of the the shmem seg. For instance I have a machine with multiple instances. Some are owned by oraa and the others are owned by orab. These databases have different Oracle homes. Each ora user can see all the shmem segements in their oracle home and none in the other.

Hi peter,

you need to use sysresv with oracle user. Is it what you do ?
