db_heap_top
water mark

 

Description:  The largest amount of database heap allocated and used by the database, since the first application connected to the database (in bytes).

Usage:  You may use this element to evaluate the setting of the dbheap configuration parameter, which is described in the Administration Guide. The dbheap parameter limits the amount of storage that can be allocated for database heap.

If the value of this element is the same as the dbheap parameter, it is quite likely that an application has received an error indicating that there was not enough storage available.
