#db_cache_size = 400M
#shared_pool_size = 256M
Windows: C:\opt\oracle\database\initscdb.ora
Linux: /opt/aptare/oracle/dbs/initscdb.ora
Memory Recommendation: If your database server has sufficient memory, you may consider making the changes listed below.
Increase the values for the following fields in initscdb.ora:

Number of Connections Recommendation: On a Windows server, the number of Oracle connections is specified in the script: setupservices.bat. To modify the number of connections, take the steps listed below.
Edit/view the script that sets up the number of connections:
C:\opt\aptare\utils\setupservices.bat
Note that in this file, the following commands specify the number of connections:
C:\opt\oracle\bin\oradim -new -sid scdb -maxusers 60 -startmode auto -pfile C:\opt\oracle\database\initscdb.ora
To change the number of Oracle connections, you must remove the service and then re-add it.
To remove the service:
C:\opt\oracle\bin\oradim -delete -sid scdb
To re-add the service, execute the following command, substituting the new connection values:
C:\opt\oracle\bin\oradim -new -sid scdb -maxusers 60 -startmode auto -pfile
