Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Capacity Planner from OEM VS Statspack
I had given up on trace files a while ago...
I could NEVER format the trace files that went to SYSOUT=20 Finally in 8.1.7.4 we were about to write trace files to DASD I have not had any luck using tkprof to format these files though.
Also, after creating the tracefile, the trace file is not always =
readable.
For some reason, the oracle service / database keeps am exclusive lock =
on
the file and I cannot view it. Obvioulsy I cannot shutdown the database=20
just to release the lock.
Maybe I will try trace files again...=20 Will have to record time and date of trace, what I was doing and check = hours (days?) later to see if file lock has been released :-(

Babette,
Have you done a 10046 trace on this?

It is worse than that .....
EVERYONE has noticed that at times the performance is abysmally slow. BUT according to all of the mainframe reporting information=3D20 Everything is fine... No swapping, no paging, no disk bottleneck, no =3D memory problems, no CPU problems.....
For instance, full tablescan (no indexes) to update a NULL column to =3D
NULL
on 1 Million rows. Can take up to three times as long at times.
BUT System people insist there is nothing being pushed at the system =3D
level.
The CPU is not maxed out, the disks have no bottlenecks or contention =
=3D
and there are no memory problems at this time.
There are only three things, CPU, DISK, Network.
There has to be something wrong with at least one of them to be getting =
=3D
the weird sporadic performance that we get.
It is hard to get overall picture of health of machine in MF =3D
environment.
We have Logical machines (LPARs) on a single physical box.
I know that I/O on other LPARs can affect our I/O, but we are told that =
=3D
there are no problems according to the system records.
The statspack information is a bonus. We have SOMETHING that we can say =
=3D
"explain this". Still waiting on explanation for a few weeks now...

I think the interesting question here is 'If you had missed this, would
anyone care?' and its corollary 'now you have caught it, does anyone =
=3D3D
care?'.
Now I admit that I have a biased view in that all anyone ever seems to
complain to me about is 'Screen X is running slow' or 'we can't complete =
=3D
=3D3D
our
management reports overnight' or 'I'm not a dba so your presentation on
managing databases that I chose to attend was irrelevant' - oops sorry =
=3D
=3D3D
not
that last one. Almost never does anyone whinge that 'the system is =3D3D
slow', or
at least when they do they have a specific example in mind. As a result =
=3D
=3D3D
I am
definitely biased towards a view that systems don't experience problems =
=3D
=3D3D
-
processes do. I *suspect* that even where the *system* is slow then =
=3D3D
actually
it will be fewer than 5 processes that are killing it, but have no =3D3D
proof.=3D3D20
