Stay on the Path…• Optimization- Tune for Time or You’re Wasting Time.• Know your goal(s)• Set a stopping point, avoid OTD, (Obsessive Tuning Disorder)• Do NOT assume. Always do the research and have data behind findings.

Brief History• ASH= Active Session History• AWR= Automatic Workload Repository• Introduced in Oracle 10g• Evolution to statspack, requests for performance reporting improvements.• “Always on” approach to performance metrics with requirement of non-

locking collection process.• Requires Management Diagnostic Pack License from Oracle.

The Location in EM12c For Some of Today’s Presentation…

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Automatic Workload Repository, (AWR) Reports• Always on with default intervals of 1hr snapshots and 8 days retention.• Should have at least 60 days of retained data.• Desire more? Have an AWR Warehouse.• Interval increase? Use this during workload testing, otherwise, take a

manual snapshot:EXEC DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.create_snapshot;

AWR Reports Are Best Used For..• To inspect a database level issues, for both a small window of time to

extended window.• Extensive information in report, knowing HOW to parse through the report

to achieve goal is important.• Via EM12c, the report is offered in HTML format and will be environment

aware, (single instance, RAC, Exadata.)• Different reports available from the command line when running from the

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory and can be generated in HTML or TXT format.

Wasting Time….

Rarely is there value in this section. As long is everything contains high percentages, move on.

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

AWR- Top 10 Foreground

•CPU is expected and should be the majority of time.•CPU processing can be extensive though, (still needs to be investigated)•Anything under 10% commonly is disregarded.•Understand what each wait event definition is

Why PGA is Important

What is an optimal vs. 1 or (M)ulti-pass executions?

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Why Can’t I Achieve 100%??

You shall not pass! (optimal, so 90%, that is… )

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Percentages and Amounts of Reads are Important

Top two objects correspond to SQL statements in the top IO and most likely top SQL by elapsed time.

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

What is a Direct Physical Read?

•Inefficient SQL and objects that have high quantity of row changes involved.•Adds significant pressure in RAC environment, too!

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

Un-optimized vs. Optimized?

Percentages are low per object, (under 10%, which is a good sign for any database!)This is an exadata, so it means they are either not in the buffer cache or the smart flash cache, which means un-optimized”.This is “somewhat” expected and don’t panic unless you see high percentages.

ASH Reports

• Excellent for identifying specific issues in database.• Identifies not just the top SQL, but code.• Shows top wait events by sample time.• Don’t confuse samples with AWR snapshots.• Should not be used to track # of executions.

Copyright © 2014 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. |

V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY• SAMPLE_ID- This is a unique identifier within an ASH sample.• SAMPLE_TIME- A unit of time used by Active Session History, (not to be confused with DB_TIME)• USER_ID- Identifier for a user that’s executing the session.• SESSION_ID- Same as the SID or Session ID and can be used to join to SID in other views/tables.• SESSION_STATE- What was the state of the session when ASH recorded the sample.• ON CPU/WAITING- The two session states in Active Session History. ON CPU is active, vs. Waiting, which is

self-explanatory.• EVENT- Type of event that the session is currently active or waiting on.• TIME_WAITED- How long the session has been waiting if waiting.• WAIT_TIME- Confusing- but this is populated by any wait time if the session is currently active and for the

previous waits.• SQL_ID- The unique identifier for the SQL statement being executed.• SQL_CHILD_NUMBER-The cursor child number.

Best Practice When Querying ASH Data• Keep it Simple and don’t reinvent the wheel.• Again- samples are an alias for time, not for counts.• Understand what is valuable and compare to packaged reports.• Be aware on RAC of node specific data.• Take care when querying Obj#, File# and Block#, (still issues in different

versions…)• Check the time that is available in buffer, don’t assume!
