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#
SEQ#
EVENT_ID P1 P2 P3
WAIT_TIME TIME_WAITED SQL_ID SQL_TEXT

  • 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.

  • 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
        PX COORDINATOR
          PX SEND                       :TQ10000                QC (RANDOM)         239
            VIEW
              NESTED LOOPS                                      OUTER               239
                PX BLOCK                                        ITERATOR
                  TABLE ACCESS          TMP_SODW_BB             FULL                2
                    Filter Predicates
                      OR
                        DIFF_FLAG='D'
                        DIFF_FLAG='U'
                  TABLE ACCESS          T_NOTUNIFIED_CLIENT       BY INDEX ROWID    3
                    INDEX               AK_UQ_NOTUNIF_T_NOTUNI    RANGE SCAN        2
                      Access Predicates
                        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 ...

  • "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.

  • 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

    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.

  • Reading Data commited in other session

    Hi
    how can I to read Data commted in other session ?
    Example: in package the process does update and in other session I want to do select and read data from table with data commited , Is possible ?

    Hi,
    Once data is commited you can read it very well by default. Whats wrong with reading commited data by other session?
    Thanks!

  • How to find out histotry command from other session

    Hi gurus,
    I use RHEL 5.4
    Some user log onto server with root and make change at some files. How can I find out history command from other session with the same user.
    history command is just give me history commands of my own session.
    Thanks
    Ch

    The file which holds the commandline history is .bash_history in the home directory of the user.
    So in the case of root, /root/.bash_history
    Please mind that if you log in as root, or become root your session will add to that file as well.
    Another issue with the history file is that when multiple sessions are logged in, every session writes in its own version of the same file. So the last one "wins", which means that version is the one which is truly stored.
    If files are changed, a find command with the 'mtime' parameter should be helpful.

  • Tables stored in memory but may be accessed from other sessions

    Dear Oracle experts,
    it may be a stupid question but I'm searching for the best possibility to create a kind of temporary table which may be accessed from other sessions.
    Could you provide some hints/ catchwords to speed up my recherches.
    Thank you very much,
    Daniel

    I fear that the caching is not suitable for my case because of the reasons decribed in my other postings...First of all I don't think that you need to worry about the effectiveness of the caching in your particular case. In addition Oracle is very clever at when to actually write the dirty blocks from the buffer cache to the disks, so if your amount of data written to the result table is fairly small and no other activity is going on your system it won't get written to disk immediately anyway but stay in memory until any of the conditions are met that trigger the database writer to flush the blocks to disk.
    But there are options you could consider if you want to avoid as much of the overhead as possible and to write the results of your calculation to the result table as fast as possible.
    You could use direct-path inserts (INSERT /*+ APPEND */) and set the result table to "NOLOGGING". This way no undo and minimum redo is generated.
    Note however that there are certain caveats and restrictions to consider when using such an approach, e.g. your result table won't be recoverable (which you say is OK), only one direct-path insert is allowed simultaneously (it blocks the table exclusively, no other DML possible until you commit/rollback the transaction), and the direct-path insert has some restrictions. If any of these apply that prevent the direct-path operation then it silently falls back to "conventional" insert mode which generates undo and redo. One of the more annoying restrictions is that you can't read from a table that has been written to in direct-path mode within the same transaction, you first have to commit the transaction, otherwise you get "ORA-12838: cannot read/modify an object after modifying it in parallel". This means by simply adding the APPEND hint you might break existing logic.
    Finally the direct-path insert never re-uses free space in blocks below the current high-water mark, which means if you perform a direct-path insert and afterwards delete rows from the table and repeat again a direct-path insert operation your segment will grow and the empty space in the already used blocks won't get re-used. Best way would be to truncate the table rather than deleting rows from it.
    There are workarounds available to overcome some of these direct-path insert limitations (exclusive lock, truncate instead of delete etc.), like using a partitioned table (if you have a suitable edition/license), because direct-path inserts can be restricted to partitions. In this case you can do simultaneous direct-path inserts if you use different partitions, but you need then some kind of logic that determines which partition to use.

  • In private browsing not working in Firefox 3.6.12 If I open yahoomail one session for one account and if I open other session for yahoomail, it automatically opens the earlier mail account.

    In private browsing not working in Firefox 3.6.12 If I open yahoomail one session for one account and if I open other session for yahoomail, it automatically opens the earlier mail account. But if I want to use more than one yahoomail accounts, in private browsing is not working. Please suggest.

    That problem isn't related to Private Browsing specifically, that's how Firefox works with regards to multiple "sessions" with the same server - only one logon is allowed at any time. Try using one of these extensions to be able to run multiple session cookies.

  • Trace other session in 9.2.0.6

    Hi,
    I'm mostly using oradebug for setting 10046 trace event in other session .
    This works without problems , until I hit old 9.2.0.6 DB on WINDOWS 2000 .
    Every time I'm using that approach
    ORADEBUG SETOSPID &OSPID ;
    ORADEBUG EVENT 10046 TRACE NAME CONTEXT FOREVER, LEVEL 12;
    ORADEBUG TRACEFILE_NAME;
    Traced process gives:
    ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channelI've tried exec dbms_system.set_ev(10,20,10046,12,''); with no success as well (same error) .
    How You deal with that kind of old software on Windows 2000 ?
    Please advice with real life experience I've read doc :).
    Regards
    GregG

    Thanks , looks like that worked .
    I did some additional tests and here follows my thoughts:
    1. All mentioned methods works (oradebug, dbms_system.set_ev) if traced session is not in tight pl/sql loop like:
    declare
    l_c number;
    begin
    for i in 1 .. 1000
    loop
    select count(*) into l_c from dba_source;
    end loop;
    end;
    /Session which is doing so crashed in all cased with exception of usage dbms_support .
    So, thanks again.
    Regards

    And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
    Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
    Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
    When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
    So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names."

  • How to view uncommited data from other session

    Hi
    I want to see data that is incommited from other sql session. How can I see it?
    Generally After commit data is available to other sessions.
    Please answer me ASAP.

    Jigar,

    You cannot do 'dirty reads' in Oracle. You can only see committed changes, and you have the choice of seeing committed changes after each individual statement in your transaction (default), or only after a transaction has finished. With the default level, running the same query multiple times within a transaction may yield different results.
    I suspect that you have used this approach with Sybase or SQL Server for performance reasons, but you will not need to do this with Oracle. I recommend you read Tom Kyte's "Expert One-On-One: Oracle" book for an excellent discussion of Oracle's locking and concurrency mechanisms.

  • DBA commit other session's transaction?

    Hi, everyone,
    A quick question, can a DBA commit {color:#0000ff}other session's transaction{color}?
    If so, how?
    Thanks!
    Alex

    Transactions can be as long as what the user logic demands. There is no transactions that is too long or too large. Oracle doesn't break, slowdown, or underperform because of long or big transactions. If you look deep into how oracle handles transactions in the background, you'll see why.
    It's interesting you mentioned that. I hope you really looked deep into how oracle handles transactions so you can en-light us how long and large transaction not affecting performance.
    perhaps we should start with Oracle Concept shall we?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/transact.htm#CNCPT117
    In a nutshell long and large transaction has potential performance impact at least in these aspects.
    A transaction will generate undo information, until the transaction is committed, these undo segment can't be reused. As transaction grows the undo space held hostage grows. Potential performance impact No.1
    A transaction usually hold locks on rows you made changes. until your transaction is committed, no other user can update these rows and need to wait for the lock. Potential performance impact No.2
    The third one is situation like yours, when a session held long and big transaction dropped, Oracle need to rollback all the changes made to database. Some of these changes already been flushed to disk (especially since it's long and large transaction). In that case, Oracle will need to load all changed data blocks and apply undo information back.
    On the other hand, since you are seeking ways for DBA to commit the uncommit change you made recklessly, that means you could have committed the changes. There's certainly no user logic to hold these changes as one single transaction.

  • How to delete a Analytic Workspace even other session still attached it

    how to delete a Analytic Workspace even other session still attached that Analytic Workspace?
    or how to detach the Analytic Workspace with other session?
    or how to find session which connected to the Analytic Workspace?
    Thanks

    Here are the sql queries which will tell you who is attached to which aw in which mode.
    select username, sid, serial#, owner||'.'||daws.aw_name aw,
    decode(attach_mode, 'READ WRITE', 'RW',
    'READ ONLY', 'RO', attach_mode) attch,
    trunc(pool_size/1024)||' KB' as curr_opp_kb
    from dba_aws daws, gv$aw_olap gvawo , gv$aw_calc gvawc, gv$session
    where daws.aw_number = gvawo.aw_number and
    sid = gvawo.session_id and gvawc.session_id=sid
    order by owner, sid, daws.aw_name;
    select a.owner,a.aw_name,b.attach_mode
    from dba_aws a ,v$aw_olap b
    where a.aw_number = b.aw_number;
    You might have to kill the RO session before deleting the AW.
