@Sram – you shouldn’t have to edit the pfile manually to get these values to save permanently – that’s why we’re using the ’scope’ argument.

Are you logging in as sysdba?
Are you including the ’scope = spfile’ on the alter system commands?

Hi Andrew,

I altered the sessions to 150, but everytime I restart the xe database it defaults to 49. Do I have to configure the pfile manually if I want to store it permanently?

Thanks

Thanks for this. Whenever I need to install XE, I go to this site afterwards to change the settings (fatlemon is so easy to remember )

Hi Hassene, I’m glad it helped you

While there will be an answer to your question of what are the maximum values for Oracle Express, there are a few key factors I’d need to know first:

1. What Operating System are you running it on?
2. Is the Operating System 32bit or 64bit (although Oracle XE is 32bit only, this still affects how many processes the OS can handle in total)
3. How much RAM is available to the Operating System

Thanks, this is straightforward and working !
Now up and running with parallel unit tests, still failing, but for good reasons !
