Setting PeopleSoft-specific init.ora parameters for the Oracle database

In this post, i have compiled a list of the common custom parameters set for the Oracle database in PeopleSoft applications, some of which can have a dramatic performance impact on the system. Some of the parameters mentioned are also applicable for general Non-PeopleSoft database applications. Please note that not all of them may apply in your current setup/version - i have included MOS Notes for reference and further reading/exploration.
alter system set "_unnest_subquery"=FALSE scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "fast_start_parallel_rollback"=false scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "_gby_hash_aggregation_enabled"=FALSE scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "_ignore_desc_in_index"=TRUE scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "_smu_debug_mode"=4 scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "optimizer_adaptive_features"=false scope=spfile sid='*';
alter system set "_optimizer_skip_scan_enabled"=false scope=spfile sid='*';
