Hello, This solution for if your system is redhat x86. For Oracle application Server release 10.1.0.2 the kernel parameter settings can be changed explained in the following section; Using any text editor, create or edit the /etc/sysctl.conf file and add or edit lines similar to the following: Note: Include lines only for the kernel parameter values that you want to change. For the semaphore parameters (kernel.sem), you must specify all four values. However, if any of the current values are larger than the recommended value, specify the larger value. kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 2147483648 kernel.shmmni = 4096 # semaphores: semmsl, semmns, semopm, semmni kernel.sem = 256 32000 100 142 fs.file-max = 131072 net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 10000 65000 kernel.msgmni = 2878 kernel.msgmax = 8192 kernel.msgmnb = 65535 By specifying the values in the /etc/sysctl.conf file, they persist when you restart the system.

Once the number of used file handles reaches 0, the application crashes/reset itself. I have increased the number of file handles from 65536 to 104854, but I am still seeing the problem. Should the number of allocated file handles be increase also, if so, where is the file to modify it. (*note: the second column will hit 0 everyday at ~9:00 when everyone is logging into the system.) ------ [root@server fs]# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr 39937 7405 104854 [root@server fs]# ------- Any thoughts/suggestions, Thanks. -- Dominique ----- Dominique Démoré Technical Services Coordinator Rainbow District School Board 69 Young Street Sudbury, Ontario P3E 3G5 Tel: (705) 674-3171 x. 258 Fax: (705) 671-2442 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Bu e-mail'in tüm icerigi gönderenin kisisel tasarrufu ile olusturulmus ve gönderilmistir.
