Error: ORA 10061 Text: disable SMON from cleaning temp segment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Explanation: This is NOT an error but is a special EVENT code. It should *NOT* be used unless explicitly requested by RD support. It allows you to prevent SMON from cleaning up temporary segments. If set in: 7.0.X: This will prevent SMON performing cleanup of TEMP segments and from coalsecing extents. The cleanup action was performed every 3 minutes in 7.0.X releases. 7.1.X: The event behaviour is modified in that TEMP segment cleanup is skipped on TIMEOUTS but will be performed if SMON is posted. The cleanup only occurs every 12 hours or when posted in 7.1.X releases. You can POST SMON by performing a failed CREATE TABLE command. A new event 10269 is for coalescing extents. Usage: event="10061 trace name context forever, level 10" Articles: @Archived Managing SMON Activity on multiple OPS instances <Note:45856.1>
