setting the transaction parameter

[learn]

I would like to set the transaction parameter in my initSID.ora file. Is there a way to find out how to determine/calculate the correct number to specify in the initSID.ora file?

e.g How would I know if I have to set it to
transactions= 200,
transactions=300,
400,etc

This number is the maximum number of tracsactions you can have in the database at one time. If you don't set it, Oracle will set it as :

(1.1 * SESSIONS)

And sessions is calculated by Oracle as...

(1.1 * PROCESSES + 5)
