Automatic Memory Management (AMM) in Oracle Database 11g R2


Identify Memory Requirement.

Following queries show you how to display the relevant memory information and how to combine with a single statement to calculate the required values.

-- Individual values.
COLUMN name FORMAT A30
COLUMN value FORMAT A10

SELECT name, value
FROM   v$parameter
WHERE  name IN ('pga_aggregate_target', 'sga_target')
UNION
SELECT 'maximum PGA allocated' AS name, TO_CHAR(value) AS value
FROM   v$pgastat
WHERE  name = 'maximum PGA allocated';

-- Calculate MEMORY_TARGET
SELECT sga.value + GREATEST(pga.value, max_pga.value) AS memory_target
FROM (SELECT TO_NUMBER(value) AS value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'sga_target') sga,
     (SELECT TO_NUMBER(value) AS value FROM v$parameter WHERE name = 'pga_aggregate_target') pga,
     (SELECT value FROM v$pgastat WHERE name = 'maximum PGA allocated') max_pga;

Assuming our required setting was 10G, we might issue the following statements.

CONN / AS SYSDBA
-- Set the static parameter. Leave some room for possible future growth without restart.
ALTER SYSTEM SET MEMORY_MAX_TARGET=15G SCOPE=SPFILE;

-- Set the dynamic parameters. Assuming Oracle has full control.
ALTER SYSTEM SET MEMORY_TARGET=10G SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET PGA_AGGREGATE_TARGET=0 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_TARGET=0 SCOPE=SPFILE;
ALTER SYSTEM SET SGA_MAX_SIZE=0 SCOPE=SPFILE;


-- Restart instance.
SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE;
STARTUP;

Once the database is restarted the MEMORY_TARGET parameter can be amended as required without an instance restart.

Running ADOP Fails With Error "ETCC Not Run In The Database Node"


Error:     ETCC not run in the database node [Node Name]
                The EBS Technology Codelevel Checker needs to be run on the database node.
                It is available as Patch 17537119.

Cause:
Mismatch in host name between FND_NODES and TXK_TCC_RESULTS tables.

Solution:
UPDATE applsys.txk_tcc_results SET node_name ='<node name>';


Run ADOP again and see if it fixes the issue.
