Re: AWR Usage Poll

It seems that oracle support is assuming the same thing in terms of AWR . i recently upgraded a database to 10.2 and had soem performance issues . the first tihng that support asked was for 2 AWR reports rather than the standard RDA request. Whne i told them we were not licensed� they went to saying that i needed to download sqlt which is the enhanced sql explain paln and run that.� I did provide them with sql test case builder� case of he problem.This was on 10.2..0.4 and even on the upgrade oracle support's directo recommended was to start using STS� without even asking�or evaluating what the cusotmeri s licensed for .�

Good one :)
�
I'm quite interested in poll results... When I asked how many people had Diagnostics and Tuning pack licensed during my presentation at Hotsos Symposium this year, about half the people in the room raised their hands. 
�
This came as quite a surprise�to me, as in my experience only a small minority of Oracle sites have had these packs licensed and in use. Of course, Hotsos Symposium being a performance conference probably has somewhat different attendee profile than usual "general-purpose" conferences...

Subject: AWR Usage Poll


I am curious about the acceptance and usage of AWR (Active Workload Repository)

This has been around a few years now, and I see some bits of conversations
where the assumption is made that AWR is available when troubleshooting a problem.

Such is not always the case however, as AWR is a separately licensed product.

Don't forget, ASH (Active Session History) is also part of AWR, and subject
to the same licensing restrictions.

Which brings me to the poll.

http://www.misterpoll.com/polls/352785

This should take a couple of minutes at the most, as there are only 
10 multiple choice questions.� There is room for a written response to many 
of the questions as well, should you feel the need to embellish.

This poll is open until 8/31/2008.� It is set to a maximum of 500 responses,
which is probably sufficient.

Thanks!
