Eva, the spin_count parameter became _spin_count in 8i. I believe that because it's a hidden parameter it's now not possible to change it using "ALTER SYSTEM". Regards, Mike Hately
-----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 11:33 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hello Guru's I have run a script which indicates that of the three redo log latches two had occurences of sleeps. To overcome this usually you increase SPIN_COUNT by 50% or so. When trying to ALTER SYSTEM SET SPIN_COUNT = 3000; Present system is set as 2000. I get the following error. * ERROR at line 1: ORA-25138: SPIN_COUNT initialization parameter has been made obsolete Now what? what can I do to overcome the sleeps issues?
