You can try using the wakeup parameter of oradebug. You need to get the process ID of the pmon process,
select pid from v$process p,v$bgprocess b where b.paddr = p.addr and name = 'PMON' then "oradebug wakeup nnnnn". where nnnnn is the process id Let me know if it works for you. -----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 7:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L processes(50) reached" I have a developers stored procedure making repeaded calls (logons/request for data and logoff) Each call takes only seconds but it seems like PMON dosnt close the process in a timely manner, leaving what look to be ghost process. If a few users hit the same app the processes go to = 50 then I get the dreaded "ORA-nnn max processes (50) reached" I can "watch" processes increse and decrese with v$session and v$process, they just dont seem to close quick enough. (however, they do eventually close) Any ideas what to look for. Ive searched Google and for parameters for PMON to no avail, hence I bring my delimma to the list I think I'd like to tell PMON how frequently to check for completed requests. thanks and happy holidays bob -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Bob Metelsky INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
