RE: Database using 100% of CPU

[JOE TESTA]

the OEM with 9i, works beautifully(at least on linux) :)   joe >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/20/01 10:51AM >>> Are you using the OEM that came with 8.1.6?  I have a dim memory that the JAVA executable that powers that version of OEM had a flaw that could consume 100% of the CPU.  Personally, I don't use OEM versions after 8.1.5.

Do I need to reboot the box? Thanx, Mike --- =========================================================================== Michael P.

Check Task Manager | Performance tab, compare Commit Charge Total (LL corner) vs. Physical Memory Total (UR corner). You should stay below physical RAM as much as possible, because Oracle really does not like NT virtual memory.
