Valid for: Oracle targets
The value of the Oracle parameter OPEN_CURSORS needs to be set high enough to support the level of performance expected of the Post process. This parameter defines the maximum number of cursors that a process (such as Post) can open.
Internally, Post establishes its maximum total number of open cursors from the value of OPEN_CURSORS, minus the 10 required for routine calls. You view this value in the event_log. For the following example, OPEN_CURSORS is set to 512.
Notice: sp_opst_mt (for o.oracle-o.oracle queue oracle) Post will not open more than 502 cursors (OPEN_CURSORS – 10).
Post maintains a record of the number of cursors it has open. If Post detects that it will exceed the maximum number of cursors, it closes the least-recently used cursor in the least-recently used session.
To avoid running out of cursors, the Post process queries the OPEN_CURSORS value when it starts. If the value is not high enough, Post writes the following warning to the event_log:
Warning: (sp_opst_mt for o.oracle-o.oracle queue oracle)Oracle parameter 'OPEN_CURSORS' is < number. Check 'OPEN_CURSORS' setting.
The OPEN_CURSORS value can be modified or added if absent.
To view the OPEN_CURSORS value, query the database using the following SQL statement:
select value from v$parameter where name = 'open_cursors';
To estimate a value for OPEN_CURSORS that is high enough for the Post process:
Use the following formulas to determine the correct setting for OPEN_CURSORS to support SharePlex (and other applications that may be accessing the target data).
SQL Cache enabled (default): By default, Post needs to reserve 10 cursors for routine calls that are closed once they finish, plus a minimum of 7 cursors per transaction (the base minimum of 2 plus an additional 5). The formula is:
10 + (peak number of concurrent transactions x 7) = minimum open cursors needed
SQL Cache disabled: The Post process needs to reserve 10 cursors for routine calls that are closed once they finish, plus a minimum of 2 cursors per transaction. The formula is:
10 + (peak number of concurrent transactions x 2) = minimum open cursors needed
