Hi: THis event 10052(Stop SMON from cleaning OBJ$) is most commonly used in OPS/RAC environments to avoid the the so called spinning behavior of SMON and to avoid the ORA-600 (16224).
It is absolutely safe to use this event as it just asks the SMON to skip some of the regular garbage cleaning activities (In this case cleaning up the OBJ$ entries). The only thing you see in your database is the SYS table OBJ$ will be full of garbage's of the entries with non existing tables/object names. You can once in a while restart the database without the event 10052 which cleans up the OBJ$, Normally SMON does lots of garbage cleaning (!?) during the life cycle of the instance like cleaning the UET$,FET$ (in dictionary Managed Table space databases) in every 5 minutes,SEG$(once in 125 minutes?), Shrinking the rollback segments once in 12hrs unless you set the event 10512 apart from the regular stats update when you set the MONITORING options. In a short answer, yes.. you can set the event as suggested !!

In the meantime, Oracle suggested we set the 10052 event to turn of Smon from performing obj$ space cleanup. We are a four node ops cluster (HP), 3 oltp and 1 batch. Questions: 1)What kind of entries are cleaned up. 2)Is there a danger to extent management in the obj$ table of "deleted but no cleaned up entries". 3)Is it reasonable to just shut down one node once a week, restart it for 20 minutes with smon enabled during our maintenance window and restart with 10052 re-enabled? 4)Any suggestions, pointers, or folks with bad experiences using this event? __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
