- When we facing Instance level performance issue

AWR/Statspack
ASH
Dynamic Performance views(f.e v$session_wait,v$active_session_history)
- When we facing session/s level performance issue
For this session/s trace(dbms_monitor,dbms_support,dbms_session and
etc)
ASH(for that session/s)
Tracking session activity using dynamic performance views.
- Problematic area or symptom
CPU, I/O, Memory, network

- Wasted time for every request (by foreground processes)

T = CPU Time + Wait Time
CPU Time – Indicate real working time(can call useful part of the work)
(CPU Time – also called Service Time)
Wait Time – Indicate DB server how much time waited(I/O,
Concurrency, network and etc)
- For certain [t1,t2] time period
if session s1 spent sT1, session s2 spent sT2 … session sn spent sTn
then sT1+sT2+…+sTn = ∑sTi = DB Time (1)
DB Time is sum of spent time of all active (non-Idle) foreground
processes. For certain time period, so
DB Time = CPU Time + Wait Time (2)
- What does indicate DB Time really?

- DB Time indicate your workload actually(f.e. is something happening

or not in the database?).

- Tuning purpose is minimizing DB Time(not just unplanned reducing).

- Which portion of “workload” are Service and Wait Time?

- Tuning purpose is minimizing CPU Time and Wait Time!

When interpreting AWR Report, Load Profile and Time Model

- Control of CPU utilization

- ∑sTi = DB Time t є [t1,t2] => ∑sTi/(t2-t1) = DB Time/(t2-
t1)=AAS(Average Active Sessions).
- If we consider ∆t = (t2-t1) then for this time period max available processor
Time is Max CPU Time= cpu count* ∆t. Therefore we can compare these
two times(DB Time and Max CPU Time). So
- DB Time ~ Max Cpu Time 
(DB Time/∆t ~ Max Cpu Time/∆t)  (AAS ~ cpu count)
- Alert and Metrics
- v$metric/_history , CPU Usage Per Sec, Average Active Sessions(11g)
- EM Performance Page(great!)( AAS ~ CPU count)

- AAS ~ CPU count. But where is DB Time ?

02.04.2018 Çinar Əliyev 12/33

 http://www.azeroug.org

- AAS, CPU count, DB Time

- We know that AAS = DB Time/∆t, so now we can reduce ∆t to zero
- In this case we will get limit(functional limit of DB Time function)
- Limit ∆t->0, DB Time(t)/∆t = DB Time'(t).(differensial of DB Time )
- So AAS(t) = DB Time'(t)  DB Time(t) = ∫AOS(t)dt. For t in [t1 t2].
- Average Active Sessions indicate database workload at specific(certain) time
moment.
- Average Active Sessions indicate distribution of DB Time over time period.
- Time model and ADDM(self managing database architecture)
