Hi BN They way I do this is by taking a block dump on the table blocks (all of them if possible - or the ones closer to the HWM otherwise) and check for the ITC value. This will report the maximun ammount of concurrent transactions that the block suffered. I'm sure you can then go from there and set up an accurate figure for the 'inittrans' value.

HTH Chris -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l Greetings, Yes I saw Request=4 for quite a few sessions. I ahve Identified the Tables that needs INITRANS Bump. Is there a way to figureout how much should I bump for each table in question -- Regards & Thanks BN __________________________________________________ Preguntá. Respondé. Descubrí.
