    Hello!

    Again I. Now, I want to know any document where explain me the settings of oracle parameters respect to memory for a system SAP R/3. For instance, for the value of db_block_buffers, the shared_pool_size and the log_buffers.

    I am trying setting the parameters for our oracle database to tuning our system.

    Thanks for your help.

    Configuring SGA depends upon available Physical Memory.
    How much does the machine have?

    We have 8 GB on the central database instance and we have 3 applications servers. The SAP documentation say me that I must to use the 0.8*RAM for the SGA and the rest for SAP work processes

    80 % of RAM for SGA is too big and may not be optimal also. You can start with 2GB and slowly increase so that the HIT Ratio is around 90%. Also remember that RAM is needed for other processes, user sessions and PGA.

    How can I distribute the 2 GB for all of the SGA?

    In Oracle ERP would be 1.5 shared pool size and .5 db_block_buffers, but that's because Oracle Apps. use a lot of PL/SQL.
    If this is not your case you can set it the other way .5G shared pool and 1.5 db_block.
    I have been told that log_buffer >=20M doesn't give you any performance.

    Now, our system is setting as follow:

    db_block_buffers 1073741824 bytes
    log_buffers 1056768 bytes
    shared_pool_size 698351616 bytes
    shared_pool_reserved_size 69206016 bytes



    We don´t use a lot of storage procedures PL/SQL because this is a SAP R/3 system and the procedures that use are programmed on ABAP language.

    I don´t kwon if this is the correct distribution for our SAP R/3 system.

    There aren't "correct" parameters, so far I see them right.
    You will have to monitor the first days a little harder and don't count the "load days".

    Thanks for your help.

    I will be monitoring the system to catch this information.
