Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Diagnose Slow System
You need to take a slice of the database when the
performance degrades. Capturing statistics at the end of the
day before the database goes down is meaningless.
Consider setting up a 10046 event trace and
find out what session and what wait event is boggin down
through this information.
Consider buying Kirti and Gaja's book on
Oracle Performance Tuning 101. Also, www.hotsos.com
<http://www.hotsos.com>
just showed me some techniques on 10046
trace data that I think you would find interesting.
To be sure , there is alot of information that must be understood up front. Not the easiest thing to do. To say you think you have a network problem is like saying I need to increase my hit ratio so I will increase my performance. It is based on meaningless mumbo jumbo. Not a very good feeeling when one rally does not understand what is going on behind the scenes.
Not a simple answer to give to you here. Mike

I apologize if I missed the final post. Did you discovered the cause of the problem?

List:
We've been fighting problems for several days. I've sort of overwhelmed
myself with data, but I don't know what any of it means.
Solaris 2.6, Oracle 8.0.5, MTS
Users complain of extreme slowness. No errors in alert, no trace files
generated.
Database is bounced every day. I capture wait statistics each day before
the database goes down. The statistics from v$system_event for enqueue
waits has gone up considerably since the problems started last Wednesday.
But when I look at v$lock (I'm using Steve Adams' enqueue_locks.sql
scripts), nothing pops up.
Any ideas where I should start looking? I would appreciate any help.
(I really believe this is a connectivity (networking) issue, but don't know
how to confirm this)
Thanks!
