- The STARTUP process does not get its quotas from the UAF record for username
- SYSTEM; it gets them from the corresponding PQL SYSGEN parameter. Try raising
- PQL_MBYTLM and PQL_DBYTLM. I had to do a similar thing to give the STARTUP
- process a higher PGFLQUOTA. I added the following lines to the file
- SYS$MANAGER:SYENVIRON.COM, since I didn't want the increased PQL_MPGFLQUOTA
- value to persist after booting (it's a dynamic parameter, so it can be
- changed on the fly) :
-
- ----------------
- $! In order for the ORACLE SQLDBA image to run during boot, the STARTUP
- $! process needs a PGFLQUOTA of 30000. The only way to accomplish this is
- $! to set PQL_MPGFLQUOTA to 30000 before booting. After the STARTUP
- $! process has been created we want to set the PQL_MPGFLQUTOA value back
- $! to a reasonable value in the set of ACTIVE parameters.
- $!
- $! RAM, 7/31/92
- $!
- $ run sys$system:sysgen
- set pql_mpgflquota 512
- write active
- exit
