SAP Note 1455168 - _FIX_CONTROL syntax

Summary :
SAP Note highlights the importance of correct syntax when configuring the "_FIX_CONTROL" parameter in Oracle databases, as incorrect configurations can lead to database issues, including ORA-940 errors. The note specifies the proper syntax to avoid such errors, detailing how multiple "_FIX REAL-TIME_COMPILE" values should be set collectively or in consecutive lines through `init.ora` or `spfile.ora` files. Furthermore, incorrect syntax inside quotation marks can cause wrong parameter processing, potentially leading to ignored values post database restart, affecting performance without generating explicit error messages.
