Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Comparing AWR Snapshots
The below snapshot outputs were taken during 2 identical load testings
of the same API. Both tests were run against the same database and I
was told the application configs/machine from where these tests were
driven were also same. Interesting things is the results of case2 test
outperformed case1 by 30%. From looking at these snapshots, I don't
see anything suspicious other than to suspect the application.
Can anyone here to comment on these outputs. Thanks.
