Read by other session wait event

I have some reports in my database that whenever executed by two or more session these reports suffers with read by other session wait event. Tables which are involving in that's query i moves them to other tablespace and then move back to original tablespace. Some how this could solves read by other session wait event. But after some days these problem occur again.
How can i permanently solve this problem??
My db is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Prod
Oracle Block size 4096
Thanks

Hi there,
Searching for this wait eventin the docs gave this,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/waitevents003.htm#sthref3159
read by other session
This event occurs when a session requests a buffer that is currently being read into the buffer cache by another session. Prior to release 10.1, waits for this event were grouped with the other reasons for waiting for buffers under the 'buffer busy wait' event
Wait Time: Time waited for the buffer to be read by the other session (in microseconds)And a quick google search for the same gave these results in the top.

  • "read by other session" wait

    Hi all,
    I have a query with very little cost, it only access one row of the table from a primary key and joins it another table again on primary key column. It doesn't even take a second to complete.
    But the problem is when there is another session that accesses data from one of the tables, I encounter "read by other session" wait event, so I wonder if there is a hint to overcome this wait, that will force query to make a disk read without waiting any other working session to put it into buffer cache. Or any other suggestions?
    Thanks

    You also say in a later post that the cost of the plan is 11 - if this is correct then your two indexes must have a blevel of about 5 to get that cost from that plan. It seems highly likely that your query doesn't always take the plan you expect and that the "10 minute" versions of this query (which should take less than 0.1 seconds on any reasonable system) is doing a large tablescan to spend so much extra time and report "read by other session". I would check v$sql for multiple child cursors and v$sql_plan (using dbms_xplan.display_cursor if you're on 10g) to check executions plans.

  • Issue with "read by other session" and a parallel MERGE query

    Hi everyone,
    we have run into an issue with a batch process updating a large table (12 million rows / a few GB, so it's not that large). The process is quite simple - load the 'increment' from a file into a working table (INCREMENT_TABLE) and apply it to the main table using a MERGE. The increment is rather small (usually less than 10k rows), but the MERGE runs for hours (literally) although the execution plan seems quite reasonable (can post it tomorrow, if needed).
    The first thing we've checked is AWR report, and we've noticed this:
    Top 5 Timed Foreground Events
    Event     Waits     Time(s)     Avg wait (ms)     % DB time     Wait Class
    DB CPU           10,086           43.82     
    read by other session     3,968,673     9,179     2     39.88     User I/O
    db file scattered read     1,058,889     2,307     2     10.02     User I/O
    db file sequential read     408,499     600     1     2.61     User I/O
    direct path read     132,430     459     3     1.99     User I/OSo obviously most of the time was consumed by "read by other session" wait event. There were no other queries running at the server, so in this case "other session" actually means "parallel processes" used to execute the same query. The main table (the one that's updated by the batch process) has "PARALLEL DEGREE 4" so Oracle spawns 4 processes.
    I'm not sure how to fix this. I've read a lot of details about "read by other session" but I'm not sure it's the root cause - in the end, when two processes read the same block, it's quite natural that only one does the physical I/O while the other waits. What really seems suspicious is the number of waits - 4 million waits means 4 million blocks, 8kB each. That's about 32GB - the table has about 4GB, and there are less than 10k rows updated. So 32 GB is a bit overkill (OK, there are indexes etc. but still, that's 8x the size of the table).
    So I'm thinking that the buffer cache is too small - one process reads the data into cache, then it's removed and read again. And again ...
    One of the recommendations I've read was to increase the PCTFREE, to eliminate 'hot blocks' - but wouldn't that make the problem even worse (more blocks to read and keep in the cache)? Or am I completely wrong?
    The database is 11gR2, the buffer cache is about 4GB. The storage is a SAN (but I don't think this is the bottleneck - according to the iostat results it performs much better in case of other batch jobs).

    OK, so a bit more details - we've managed to significantly decrease the estimated cost and runtime. All we had to do was a small change in the SQL - instead of
    MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
      USING (SELECT
          FROM TMP_SODW_BB) S
      ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y' AND S.DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D'))
      ...(which is the query listed above) we have done this
    MERGE /*+ parallel(D DEFAULT)*/ INTO T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT D /*+ append */
      USING (SELECT
          FROM TMP_SODW_BB AND DIFF_FLAG IN ('U', 'D')) S
      ON (D.NCLIENT_KEY = S.NCLIENT_KEY AND D.CURRENT_RECORD = 'Y')
      ...i.e. we have moved the condition from the MERGE ON clause to the SELECT. And suddenly, the execution plan is this
    OPERATION                           OBJECT_NAME             OPTIONS             COST
    MERGE STATEMENT                                                                 239
      MERGE                             T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT

                        AND
                          D.NCLIENT_KEY(+)=NCLIENT_KEY
                          D.CURRENT_RECORD(+)='Y'
                      Filter Predicates
                        D.CURRENT_RECORD(+)='Y' Yes, I know the queries are not exactly the same - but we can fix that. The point is that the TMP_SODW_BB table contains 1639 rows in total, and 284 of them match the moved 'IN' condition. Even if we remove the condition altogether (i.e. 1639 rows have to be merged), the execution plan does not change (the cost increases to about 1300, which is proportional to the number of rows).
    But with the original IN condition (that turns into an OR combination of predicates) in the MERGE ON clausule, the cost suddenly skyrockets to 990.000 and it's damn slow. It seems like a problem with cost estimation, because once we remove one of the values (so there's only one value in the IN clausule), it works fine again. So I guess it's a planner/estimator issue ...

  • Performance issue showing read by other session Event

    Hi All,
    we are having a severe performance issue in my database when we are running batch jobs.
    This was a new database(11.2.0.2) and we are testing the performance by running some batch jobs. These batch jobs included some inserts and updates.
    I am seeing read by other session in top 5 timed events and cache buffers chains in Latch Miss Sources section.
    Please help me to solve this out.

  • Read By Other Session

    Hi
    Please help. The situation is that we found the Read By Other Sessions Event occurs and the sessions hang for a week. No new Sessions ID suffers from ths events and Just keep 10 Sessions ID with this event waiting. Our user didn't suffer any performance problem so far.
    Our Application layer is Web-based, I believe users related to those sessions are disconnected already. So How come those session ID waits so long !!!!
    Thx
    Kit

    Our DBA helped me to get the information from the V$Session. Let Session ID = 123. We found that this session has Read by Other Session" event from 17-May up to now every 10 seconds.
    DBA gives me the following fields to study
    Time
    INSTANCE_NUMBER
    SESSION_ID
    DB User
    EVENT_NAME
    CURRENT_OBJ#
    CURRENT_FILE#
    CURRENT_BLOCK#

  • Difference between wait event and timed event

    Hi,
    Anyone has idea that what is the difference between wait events and timed events in Statspack report. I couldn't find it over google.
    Thanks.

    It's 10.2.0.1 on Linux
    (Couldn't do a query, because Linux is inside VM Ware. And it is not being accessed from Base windows machine.)

  • Wait events tuning

    Hello SAP Community,
    I start by mentioning a few details about the system I'll be talking about in this subject:
    - SAP NetWeaver 7.0
    - Oracle Database 10.2g
    I was reading the following Note: "Note 618868 - FAQ: Oracle performance", in order to try to understand what's causing the oracle database to have slow performance.
    While reading section 3 "How can I determine whether the general database performance can be optimized?" I found out that the ratio of "Busy wait time to CPU time" is away above the recommended 60:40 value. I'm getting a 94:6 ratio. This value was calculated using the query:
    SELECT
      ROUND((STM1.VALUE - STM2.VALUE) / 1000000) "BUSY WAIT TIME (S)",
      ROUND(STM2.VALUE / 1000000) "CPU TIME (S)",
      ROUND((STM1.VALUE - STM2.VALUE) / STM1.VALUE * 100) || ' : ' ||
        ROUND(STM2.VALUE / STM1.VALUE * 100) RATIO
    FROM V$SYS_TIME_MODEL STM1, V$SYS_TIME_MODEL STM2
    WHERE STM1.STAT_NAME = 'DB time' AND STM2.STAT_NAME = 'DB CPU';
    With such high values, SAP recommends to improve system performance doing some "wait event tuning".
    Can someone give me some directions about this subject? Some guides specific to this subject would be nice. Any further information about my system you may require, please ask me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Daniel Garrido

    Hello again,
    Before I did any changes to the Oracle's parameters I checked the Note 619188 - FAQ: Oracle wait events, to understand what could be causing such high event wait time.
    With the query:
    SELECT EVENT, TOTAL_WAITS, TIME_WAITED, AVG_MS,
    ROUND(RATIO_TO_REPORT(TIME_WAITED) OVER () * 100) PERCENT
    FROM (SELECT SUBSTR(EVENT, 1, 30) EVENT, TOTAL_WAITS, TIME_WAITED,
    ROUND(TIME_WAITED_MICRO / TOTAL_WAITS / 1000, 2) AVG_MS
    FROM V$SYSTEM_EVENT
    WHERE WAIT_CLASS NOT IN ('Idle', 'System I/O')
    UNION
    SELECT 'CPU' EVENT, NULL, VALUE, NULL
    FROM V$SYSSTAT
    WHERE STATISTIC# = 12
    ORDER BY 3 DESC)
    WHERE ROWNUM <=10;
    I got the non-idle events that took more time in my system and the result was:
    Result of the SELECT statement
    EVENT
    TOTAL_WAITS
    TIME_WAITED
    AVG_MS

    So most of the TIME_WAITED for wait events was because of the "log file switch (archiving needed)", after reading what could cause such wait event, I understood this was related with a problem I previously had in the server, where the archiving folder was with no space left. (Meanwhile the backup of the archives is being done and so the folder is being cleaned on a daily basis).
    Thank you all for your help!

  • (  name-service call wait   ) event   is amoung the top 5 wait events

    10.2.0.3 2node- RAC
    When I check the wait event in the active session wait event the sessions can be see that they are blocked by the LMON process. The wait event appears only on one node.
    It is very hard to find information on the net or on the metalink.
    How could I overcome this wait event ?
    select program, type from v$session
         where sid in
         (select blocking_session from v$active_session_history

    If I use Google to find information about this
    I ran into this page.
    There is indeed not much to find about this wait-event, other than there is probably some sort of network communication problem between the two nodes.
    Maybe the best solution is to raise a S/R at Oracle support

  • RAC 10.2.0.5 - Session waiting forever

    Hi, i feel alone
    The database has several sessions that are waiting forvever.
    Sometimes these sessions are wainting for "direct path read", or "read by other session"
    The objects on which the sessions are waiting are never the same (user table, or LOB, ...)
    The OS process associated with the database session doesn't exists anymore on the system.
    The connection is made with JDBC THIN CLIENT.
    NO error messages as the session is just waiting indefinitly
    If a start a new session and issue a simple SQL SELECT on the waited objects on both instance.
    The first instance return the resultset. The second instance just wait forever.
    After the blocked objects is rebuilt, SQL SELECT works fine from both instance.
    Killing the waiting sessions doesn't solve the probleme as next same SQL QUERY from the other instance, will be blocked too ...
    Rebuild the object solve the problem ...
    BUT THIS IS FAR NOT A GOOD SOLUTION !
    The database is Oracle 10.2.0.5 SE RAC for LInux RHEL5 x64.
    ASM is used.
    Thank you for any suggestions !

    Hi,
    thank you for your response.
    This is a STANDARD EDITION with all tables degree set to 1, and all indexes degrees set to 1 or 0.
    I kill the session selected with the following query (the ones with high last_call_et)
    select inst_id, username, last_call_et, event, row_wait_obj# from gv$session where status='ACTIVE' and state='WAITING' and username is not null;
    Sometime, just kill the session solve the problem
    Now, i got 1 session waiting forever on "read by other session" on table SYSTEM.SQLPLUS_PRODUCT_PROFILE the SQL executed is
    "analyze table infomed2.dm_ligne ....;" .
    The same problem appears on 2 differents databases on the same RAC cluster (all in 10.2.0.5)
    i guess a bug with dictionnary latch, or with gcs, or with sqlnet( session closed but not realeased), ... but cannot find any information

  • What's wrong from this wait event

    Please,
    Below are two tables showing respectively database wait event by wait class and session wait event by wait class.
    1. Database wait event by wait class

    Top Events found:
    CPU + WAIT for CPU
    ROW lock contention
    SQL*Net more data from/to client
    Question:
    What may cause the application wait_class to be at the top?, event though the row lock contention was found ?
    I also think the system may sufering from a network bottleneck, I also thinking to set SDU parameter, but the network is 1Gb speed, and I don't know if this can help.
    Does someone give me some clue to pinpoint what is going wrong wiht the above stats?
    thanks enough

    I've used the "code" tags to make your first section of data more readable:
    WAIT               TOTAL       PCT        TIME             PCT
    CLASS              WAITS       WAITS      WAITED_SECS      TIME
    Application              7427        .08           1572.45      76.29
    User I/O                50416        .57            193.24       9.38
    Network               8714874      98.66            177.67       8.62
    System I/O              48169        .55             85.98       4.17 If you want to know what events belong to each wait class you can query v$event_name:
    select wait_class, name
    from v$event_name
    order by wait_class, nameThe events in class "Application" are:
    SQL*Net break/reset to client
    SQL*Net break/reset to dblink
    Streams capture: filter callback waiting for ruleset
    Streams: apply reader waiting for DDL to apply
    Wait for Table Lock
    enq: KO - fast object checkpoint
    enq: PW - flush prewarm buffers
    enq: RO - contention
    enq: RO - fast object reuse
    enq: TM - contention
    enq: TX - row lock contention
    enq: UL - contention
    As you can see, this is consistent with your comment about the top event being "row lock contention". The implication of the name given to this wait class is that it is your application design that is causing the problem. Your biggest problem is that your code allows your users to lock each other out.
    Looking at the summary numbers, the time spent on waiting for other users to get out of the way is a very large fraction of your total wait - until you deal with that, problems relating to I/O and network appear to be pretty irrelevant. Having said that, you seem to do a very large number of round-trips on the network - so maybe the amount of time you are losing is not hugely significant compared to the amount of work you are getting done. (You didn't actually tell us how long it took or how many concurrent users, to accumulate this wait time).

    Hi,
    If its for a week than I won't bother. Probably you should try to get teh same report for these wait events in a much smaller period , like 20-30minutes of time period when your db is fully operational. If still at that time the wait events,these or any other, shoot up to high wait times, things can be investigated more deeply.

  • High waits on scatter read and buffer busy wait ..

    one of my system is undergoing some serious problem ~
    i checked when some sql querying few large tables ( 30 millions rows ,partioned )
    system waits became significant .. the ones stand out are scatter read and buffer busy wait ...
    on the longop , you can see those sessions waitting to scan the large table ..
    buffer get ratio dropped from 90% to like 30% ,average buffer hit ratio is like 55%
    mu questions are
    1.what's your view of throwing the problem away ?
    add physical memory, then increase data buffer ?
    it's getting scanned very often , but it's too large to pin it in the keep pool .
    2. why buffer busy wait ?
    i don't fully understand why this happened ?
    becase what they are doing are just querying ,nobody is modifing any data ?
    will increase freelist help this ??
    thanks your talneted ideas
    br/ricky

    Have these SQL statements been added recently, or have they been around for a long time. If the latter, then it seems likely that they've changed their execution plan to start doing tablescans (hence db file scattered read waits) or index fast full scans.
    One of the causes of buffer busy waits is concurrent tablescans/index fast full scans - in 10g this particular cause has been split and reported as "read by other session".
    Your first action should be to see if there is a more efficient execution plan for these queries. If the problem is due to a change in execution plan, common causes are: changes in statistics on the objects, failure to change statistics on the objects, changes in input value on the queries, changes in optimizer parameters, unlucky changes in data volumes.

  • Lot of sessions with wait event - jobq slave wait

    Hi All,
    My db version is 10.2.0.4.0
    I have scheduled jobs through dbms_scheduler with repeat_interval of 20 mins(this for refresh of mviews).
    Now the job is in running state for a long time. then i checked the sessions..
    I have five session with wait event - "jobq slave wait"
    I check job_queue_parameter - 10
    select count(1) from dba_jobs;
    COUNT(1)
    8
    Now the job is in running state for a long time...
    Can someone help me how to proceed...
    Thanks,

    A little more information would help - you could start with the Load Profile section, and the summary of the number of sessions, CPU, and memory. Also OSSTATs might be helpful and the Time Model stats. The version of Oracle might also be relevant.
    See the note below about using the "code" tag and preview option.

    To post code, statspack/AWR report, execution plans or trace files, start and end the section with the tag {noformat}{noformat} (lowercase, curly brackets, no spaces) so that the text appears in fixed format.
    There is a +"Preview"+ tab at the top of the text entry panel. Use this to check what your message will look like before you post the message. If it looks a complete mess you're unlikely to get a response. (Click on the +"Plain text"+ tab if you want to edit the text to tidy it up.)

  • Wait Event Direct path read TEMP

    HI,
    I have two sessions waiting on wait event "DIECT PATH READ TEMP" (both the sessions with same SQL).Those sessions are almost in hung state.If i run that query from any other session,even that gets hanged.I have generated 10046 trace for these and found that all of them are waiting for a index object in TEMP datafile.
    Has anyone of you had the same issue.
    Please explain me what kind of action i have taken.
    I have verified the stats..they are all up to date.
    Thanks,
    Pramod Garre

    Hi ,
    It is IMPOSSIBLE for two SELECT statements to obstruct each other.-
    Its not impossible my dear.Do you know something called "Hot Block".Dont you know that in that case select queries obstruct each other??Dont suggest if you dont know.
    If you don't post meaningful information, you'll be left with your own mystery-
    I agree i have to provide more information.
    Thanks
    Pramod
