DB_WRITER_PROCESSES
Property Description
Parameter type Integer
Default value 1 or CPU_COUNT / 8, whichever is greater 默認值爲1或CPU個數的1/8
Modifiable No
Range of values 1 to 20 取值範圍爲1-20
Basic No
DB_WRITER_PROCESSES is useful for systems that modify data heavily. It specifies the initial number of database writer processes for an instance.
注：DB_WRITER_PROCESSES參數設置DBWn的進程數；由於該參數是靜態參數，需要重啓數據庫。修改該參數值並非越大越好，應根據CPU高峯時的空閒程度進行相應設置，比如：

從上述信息我們發現，CPU的進程數一直維持在12個左右，且頻繁出現等待的進程，因此該數據庫不適宜調整DB_WRITER_PROCESSES參數。
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES
Property Description
Parameter type Integer
Default value 2 默認值爲2
Modifiable ALTER SYSTEM
Range of values 1 to 30 取值範圍爲1-30
Basic No
LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES specifies the number of archiver background processes (ARC0 through ARC9) Oracle initially invokes.
The actual number of archiver processes in use may vary subsequently based on archive workload.
注：LOG_ARCHIVE_MAX_PROCESSES參數設置ARCn的進程數，該參數會自動根據數據庫的實際情況進行調整。比如：
--查看log_archive_max_processes的參數值
SQL> show parameter log_archive_max_processes;
NAME TYPE VALUE
------------------------------------ -------------------------------- ------------------------------
log_archive_max_processes integer 4
