Only some things are obvious outside the context of an application: * no invalid objects * enough room to grow a bit, and this is very subjective. You would need to supply a list of parameters that are required for the applications in question: * pool sizes ( if manually managing memory) * db_cache_size * sga_maxsize * sga_target (if using AMM) Whether there are any apps that automate this, I don't know. Personally, I would write my own, as canned apps for database management tend to be unwieldy. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to do this with a standardized text file for configuration, and a SQL script and shell script driver. Though personally I would use Perl for something like this.
