Utlbstat / utlestat in 10g

Hi there,
10g upgrade guide, Part Number B10763-01
For best results, run the SQL scripts utlbstat.sql and utlestat.sql to collect V$SYSSTAT statistics for a specific period
I must say I am quite surprised to read about those ancient scripts in a 10g upgrade guide... I thought they were no longer supported, and as far as I know, they are no longer documented.
Regards
Laurent Schneider
OCM DBA

I am the document owner for the Upgrade guide. Unfortunately, the mention of
these scripts was not caught during any of the review cycles for 10gR2.
I checked with the owner of the scripts who informed me that the scripts
apparently still do ship because of the amount of work it would be to remove them.
However, they should not be used or mentioned in the doc. I will remove all reference
to them from the Upgrade guide and this change will be reflected in the first Beta
review copy posted for the next release.

Report from utlbstat and utlestat

I would like to know if there is some formatting tool to make report coming from utlbstat/utlestat more readable

Haven't heard about that :-)
But perhaps some guy made some perl script or something like that to make it more readable :-)

Statspack interpretation

I have been running statspack regularly and need help in interpretation. I believe the database in question is running ok from user's point of view. However, we will be doubling the users in a few weeks and I am trying to be proactive about preparing for this. I have looked at the statspack reports and have sent them through oraperf.com, but I still have questions. Can anyone help? I can share a couple of statspack reports with specific questions. Thanks in advance, Kim

This is a good reference to interpret Statspack.

Advanced Tuning with Statspack
By Rich Niemiec
But wait, there's more! What waits mean in Statspack reports and how to tune them out.
If you could choose just two Oracle utilities to find and monitor performance problems in your Oracle9i Database system, those two utilities would be Oracle Enterprise Manager (now available in Release 4.0) and Statspack. As of Oracle8i Release 8.1.6, the Statspack utility replaced the UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT scripts available for performance monitoring with earlier versions of Oracle Database; Statspack offers several significant enhancements to those scripts. This column focuses on solutions to advanced issues regarding wait eventsthose events for which your system had to wait during processing for a resource to become available, an action to complete, and so on.
Top 5 Wait Events
When you are trying to eliminate bottlenecks on your system, your Statspack report's Top 5 Wait Events section is the first place to look. This section of the report shows the top 5 wait events, the full list of wait events, and the background wait events. If your system's TIMED_STATISTICS initialization parameter is set to true, the events are ordered in time waited, which is preferable, since all events don't show the waits. If TIMED_STATISTICS is false, the events are ordered by the number of waits.
Listing 1 shows a large number of waits related to reading a single block (db file sequential read) as well as waits for latches (latch free). You can see in this listing high waits for some of the writing to datafiles and log files. To identify which of these are major issues, you must narrow down the list by investigating the granular reports within other sections of Statspack.
Resolving Your Wait Events
The following are 10 of the most common causes for wait events, along with explanations and potential solutions:
1. DB File Scattered Read. This generally indicates waits related to full table scans. As full table scans are pulled into memory, they rarely fall into contiguous buffers but instead are scattered throughout the buffer cache. A large number here indicates that your table may have missing or suppressed indexes. Although it may be more efficient in your situation to perform a full table scan than an index scan, check to ensure that full table scans are necessary when you see these waits. Try to cache small tables to avoid reading them in over and over again, since a full table scan is put at the cold end of the LRU (Least Recently Used) list.
2. DB File Sequential Read. This event generally indicates a single block read (an index read, for example). A large number of waits here could indicate poor joining orders of tables, or unselective indexing. It is normal for this number to be large for a high-transaction, well-tuned system, but it can indicate problems in some circumstances. You should correlate this wait statistic with other known issues within the Statspack report, such as inefficient SQL. Check to ensure that index scans are necessary, and check join orders for multiple table joins. The DB_CACHE_SIZE will also be a determining factor in how often these waits show up. Problematic hash-area joins should show up in the PGA memory, but they're also memory hogs that could cause high wait numbers for sequential reads. They can also show up as direct path read/write waits.
3. Free Buffer. This indicates your system is waiting for a buffer in memory, because none is currently available. Waits in this category may indicate that you need to increase the DB_BUFFER_CACHE, if all your SQL is tuned. Free buffer waits could also indicate that unselective SQL is causing data to flood the buffer cache with index blocks, leaving none for this particular statement that is waiting for the system to process. This normally indicates that there is a substantial amount of DML (insert/update/delete) being done and that the Database Writer (DBWR) is not writing quickly enough; the buffer cache could be full of multiple versions of the same buffer, causing great inefficiency. To address this, you may want to consider accelerating incremental checkpointing, using more DBWR processes, or increasing the number of physical disks.
4. Buffer Busy. This is a wait for a buffer that is being used in an unshareable way or is being read into the buffer cache. Buffer busy waits should not be greater than 1 percent. Check the Buffer Wait Statistics section (or V$WAITSTAT) to find out if the wait is on a segment header. If this is the case, increase the freelist groups or increase the pctused to pctfree gap. If the wait is on an undo header, you can address this by adding rollback segments; if it's on an undo block, you need to reduce the data density on the table driving this consistent read or increase the DB_CACHE_SIZE. If the wait is on a data block, you can move data to another block to avoid this hot block, increase the freelists on the table, or use Locally Managed Tablespaces (LMTs). If it's on an index block, you should rebuild the index, partition the index, or use a reverse key index. To prevent buffer busy waits related to data blocks, you can also use a smaller block size: fewer records fall within a single block in this case, so it's not as "hot." When a DML (insert/update/ delete) occurs, Oracle Database writes information into the block, including all users who are "interested" in the state of the block (Interested Transaction List, ITL). To decrease waits in this area, you can increase the initrans, which will create the space in the block to allow multiple ITL slots. You can also increase the pctfree on the table where this block exists (this writes the ITL information up to the number specified by maxtrans, when there are not enough slots built with the initrans that is specified).

5. Latch Free. Latches are low-level queuing mechanisms (they're accurately referred to as mutual exclusion mechanisms) used to protect shared memory structures in the system global area (SGA). Latches are like locks on memory that are very quickly obtained and released. Latches are used to prevent concurrent access to a shared memory structure. If the latch is not available, a latch free miss is recorded. Most latch problems are related to the failure to use bind variables (library cache latch), redo generation issues (redo allocation latch), buffer cache contention issues (cache buffers LRU chain), and hot blocks in the buffer cache (cache buffers chain). There are also latch waits related to bugs; check MetaLink for bug reports if you suspect this is the case (oracle.com/support). When latch miss ratios are greater than 0.5 percent, you should investigate the issue. I will cover latch waits in detail in my next Oracle Magazine column; the topic requires an article in itself.
6. Enqueue. An enqueue is a lock that protects a shared resource. Locks protect shared resources, such as data in a record, to prevent two people from updating the same data at the same time. An enqueue includes a queuing mechanism, which is FIFO (first in, first out). Note that Oracle's latching mechanism is not FIFO. Enqueue waits usually point to the ST enqueue, the HW enqueue, the TX4 enqueue, and the TM enqueue. The ST enqueue is used for space management and allocation for dictionary-managed tablespaces. Use LMTs, or try to preallocate extents or at least make the next extent larger for problematic dictionary-managed tablespaces. HW enqueues are used with the high-water mark of a segment; manually allocating the extents can circumvent this wait. TX4s are the most common enqueue waits. TX4 enqueue waits are usually the result of one of three issues. The first issue is duplicates in a unique index; you need to commit/rollback to free the enqueue. The second is multiple updates to the same bitmap index fragment. Since a single bitmap fragment may contain multiple rowids, you need to issue a commit or rollback to free the enqueue when multiple users are trying to update the same fragment. The third and most likely issue is when multiple users are updating the same block. If there are no free ITL slots, a block-level lock could occur. You can easily avoid this scenario by increasing the initrans and/or maxtrans to allow multiple ITL slots and/or by increasing the pctfree on the table. Finally, TM enqueues occur during DML to prevent DDL to the affected object. If you have foreign keys, be sure to index them to avoid this general locking issue.
7. Log Buffer Space. This wait occurs because you are writing the log buffer faster than LGWR can write it to the redo logs, or because log switches are too slow. To address this problem, increase the size of the log files, or increase the size of the log buffer, or get faster disks to write to. You might even consider using solid-state disks, for their high speed.
8. Log File Switch. All commit requests are waiting for "logfile switch (archiving needed)" or "logfile switch (chkpt. Incomplete)." Ensure that the archive disk is not full or slow. DBWR may be too slow because of I/O. You may need to add more or larger redo logs, and you may potentially need to add database writers if the DBWR is the problem.
9. Log File Sync. When a user commits or rolls back data, the LGWR flushes the session's redo from the log buffer to the redo logs. The log file sync process must wait for this to successfully complete. To reduce wait events here, try to commit more records (try to commit a batch of 50 instead of one at a time, for example). Put redo logs on a faster disk, or alternate redo logs on different physical disks, to reduce the archiving effect on LGWR. Don't use RAID 5, since it is very slow for applications that write a lot; potentially consider using file system direct I/O or raw devices, which are very fast at writing information.
10. Idle Event. There are several idle wait events listed after the output; you can ignore them. Idle events are generally listed at the bottom of each section and include such things as SQL*Net message to/from client and other background-related timings. Idle events are listed in the stats$idle_event table.
Stay Tuned
In the next issue of Oracle Magazine, I'll investigate latchesanother of the top waits you may encounterlooking at the usual latch waits you'll see and how to tune them for maximum performance.

Statspack Tables

Hi All,
How to identify whether STATSPACK is configured or not in 8x DB (thru an SQL)?
We use the following tables for the purpose mentioned next to it in 9x.
stats$snapshot -- Snapshot Details
stats$sql_summary - Statistics of SQL executed during a snap
stats$sqltext - SQL text executed
sTAtS$SYSTEM_EVENT - System events during a snap
STATS$FILESTATXS - I/O Stats during a snap
But what are equivalent tables from where we can find the similar information in 8x?
Thanks in Advance,
Jaggyam

You need probably to check if there's a PERFSTAT user/schema and what objects are owned by it.
" STATSPACK differs from the existing UTLBSTAT/UTLESTAT performance scripts in the following ways:
* They collect more data, including high resource SQL.
* Many of the manual calculations which were required with BSTAT/ESTAT are now provided; for example. the first page contains a summary of instance performance and load.
* Permanent tables are created. Each time a new "snapshot" of data is taken, it is added to these tables, with keys which allow comparison between snapshots.
* A new user, PERFSTAT, is automatically created. All objects created by this package are owned by PERFSTAT. This user has limited query-only privileges.
* Written in PL/SQL and uses SQL*Plus as the reporting tool.
Like UTLBSTAT.SQL and UTLESTAT.SQL, STATSPACK can be found in the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ directory on UNIX and in the ORACLE_HOME/rdbms81/admin directory on NT. "

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!
Thanks,

We have one more instance whose database is 11g and the same report is migrated but it is taking too long time to execute the report output. Please advise why it is happening even why the plan is difference.

Sorting in 6i and 10g reports

Hello All,
I am running 6i and 10g reports against a 10g database.
I ran one of the 6i report and it generated a report in one sorting ordear
and when i ran the same report on 10g ,it generated the report in ddifferent order.
Both the reports r run against the same 10g database.
The order by clause on the columns of the records r identical.
Now i wanted to understand how it is sorting in different orders in both 6i and 10g reports?
Thanks,
Ranz

Hi,
Please note the fact that 6i Reports is not certified to work with 10g Database. Hence it becomes impossible to address the sorting behavior of 6i Reports, though there is nothing different in the way it works. I would suggest you to use 10gR2 version of Reports services with 10g Database which is certified and supported. Thanks for your understanding.
Regards,
Anand

10g Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance

I am running a Oracle 10g database in Solaris 10 server. When i am trying to connect to the enterprise manager it says Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance.
The database instance is open,the listener is up and the agent connection also says that it succeeded.
The server houses two 10g databases and the EM was working properly till yesterday. Kindly Help.
Thanks in advance.
Ram

Hi,
The EM is started and if i give emctl status dbconsole
-bash-3.00$ emctl status dbconsole
Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Database Control Release 10.2.0.3.0

Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g is running
Logs are generated in directory /db8/ora10gr2/product/10.2.0/Db_4/gladiator_TROY/sysman/log
it says that the EM is running. But when i am trying to access the URL it is in IE it says Page cannot be displayed what could be the problem for this???
Thanks in advance.

Dflt report in 6i and 10g

Hi
I am trying to get a tillslip to print correctly after converting from reports 6i to 10g. The problem i think is that the outputfile generated in the 6i version is diffrent from the output file in 10g. The 10g version looks similar to postscript while the 6i output file does not mean anything to me.
If i open the 6i test.dflt file it looks something like: =c0c1c32R
If i open the 10g test.dflt file it looks something like:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 %
%Creator: Oracle Toolkit 2 for Motif 10.1.2.0.2 PRODUCTION
Using the 6i output file i can print the tillslip correctly in both the 6i and 10g environments. Using the 10g output file all the char in the output file prints including the comments (the %!PS-Adobe-3.0 % bit also)
Any ideas how to get the output file the same. All report settings (DESFOTMAT, DESTYPE, ...) are the same. The dflt.prt file only differs as follows:
printer "dflt"
height 66
width 80
after page control(L)
return "" (this line in 6i file is: return "M" )
linefeed control(J)
Any ideas will be helpfull. I have tried creating the report as a .rtf, .pdf and .ps file and all of them print with the code inside and not just the tillslip info.
Thanks

Hi
I afound that the problem is that the app server does not know about the printer as it is connected to a users PC. Thus when using the dflt desformat it selects the default printer language of the App Server printer. This is the reason why the files are diffrent.
If I understand everything the process should be:
1 - Run the report from forms (on app server).
2 - Write the report to a file on App Server and then transfer the file to the user PC.
3 - Send file correct printer on the user PC.
The problem still remains on how to create the correct file which can be send to the printer connected to the users PC as the driver of the correct printer is not known too the App Server. The printer still prints the file incorrectly as the file is not created using its drive as what the case was when running it in 6i.
Setting the MODE to character (which will enable you to provide a .prt file if you had one to give) will not work as the report contains an image.
Regards

SRW.Run_Report is not working in Reports from 6i to 10g

Hi,
I have a report .rdf file that submits another .rdf report using the SRW.Run_Report. This code was working fine in Reports 6i version. We are upgrading the Reports 6i to Reports 10g, and did a small change in the call i.e., Removed the server parameter, and it is not working. This is in Oracle E-Business Suite environment. The first report is called as a Concurrent Program. Here is the call that was working fine in Reports 6i (i.e., Oracle Apps 11i environment)
srw.run_report('report='||l_source_dir||l_parent_shortname||'.rdf'||
' p_user_id='||l_user_id||
' p_resp_id='||l_resp_id||
' p_appl_id='||l_appl_id||
' p_conc_request_id='||
' batch=yes mode=character destype=file desname='||l_destination_dir||l_filename||
' desformat=verp_i012 p_vendor_id='||dealer_list_rec.vendor_id||
' p_trx_date_from='||to_char(l_date_from, 'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_trx_date_to='||to_char(l_date_to,'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_period_name='||l_period_name ||
' server='||l_server
It has been modified to the following for Reports 10g (i.e., Oracle Apps R12 environment)
srw.run_report('report='||l_source_dir||l_parent_shortname||'.rdf'||
' p_user_id='||l_user_id||
' p_resp_id='||l_resp_id||
' p_appl_id='||l_appl_id||
' p_conc_request_id='||
' batch=yes mode=character destype=file desname='||l_destination_dir||l_filename||
' desformat=verp_i012 p_vendor_id='||dealer_list_rec.vendor_id||
' p_trx_date_from='||to_char(l_date_from, 'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_trx_date_to='||to_char(l_date_to,'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_period_name='||l_period_name
);

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it's done using MOD-PLSQL version 10.1.2.0.2.
I did as you said: compared the 2 generated HTML files. It's not that it doesn't generate all tags. It generates all tags but some of them are different, that is it screws them up.
Here it is some example code.
For example, in 9i I have the following code:
div id=div_plus_GENERALE style="cursor:hand; display:none;"
<td> width=8 </td>
<td id=butt align=left style="font-family:Verdana,Tahoma;
font-size: 10px; font-weight: 400; color: '#ffffff';
background-color: '';
"onClick="if (butt_clicked) butt_clicked.style.cssText=restore_butt_style;
butt_clicked=this; restore_butt_style=butt_off_lit;
this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;
var x = document.getElementById('Freccia_' + freccia_old);
x.style.display = 'none';
Freccia_sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto.style.display='block';
freccia_old='sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto';"
onMouseOver="this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;"
onMouseOut="if (butt_clicked != this) this.style.cssText=butt_off_lit;">Anagrafica Fornitura</td></tr>
<tr>
<td height=2></td>
</tr>
</table>
In 10g the HTML code looks like this:
div id=div_plus_GENERALE style="cursor:hand;"
<td width=8> </td>
<td align=left style="font-family:Verdana,Tahoma;
font-size: 10px; font-weight: 400; color: '#ffffff';
background-color: '';">
<a href="sitointer.anagrafica.anagrafica_cliente_punto target="frameCenter"
onClick="var x = document.getElementById('Freccia_' + freccia_old);
x.Style.visibility='hidden';
Freccia_sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto.Style.visibility='visible';
freccia_old='sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto';"
onMouseOver="this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;"
onMouseOut="if (butt_clicked != this) this.style.cssText=butt_off_lit;">Anagrafica Fornitura</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td height=2></td>
</tr>
</table>
At this point I don't know what should I investigate next.
Thank you very much.

How Create Virtual Directory On Oracle Application Server 10g on RHEL 5

Dear Sir
i have deployed my application on OAS 10g on RHEL 5 ,,now since my application is calling some pro*c programs and then they generate some text based reports on fixed folder named
/treas/temp
now i simply have to open these text based reports on web browser
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/forms/pcreport/'||v_filename);
but for that i need to create virtual directory name : " /pcreport " without code
kindlly help as its working on my developer suit 10g i created a virtual directory in my application server by making following entry in "orion-web.xml" file
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/pcreport" real-path="/u/treas/temp" />
kindlly help

(My paths shown, yours will be different)
In a text editor :
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf

MULTIPLE USERS 10G RAC ORACLE_HOME INSTALL WITH ASM/CRS

Hi,
We need to install multiple 10g RAC databases on a two node Sun servers. Below is our configuration:
1) Sun Solaris (ver 10) with Sun Cluster 3.2
2) One ASM/CRS install (by 1 OS account)
3) Four ORACLE_HOME 10g database install (by 4 different OS user accounts)
We would like to use one ASM instance for all four databases with appropriate privileges.
OS User:           OS Group
========      =========
oraasm           dbaasm - (ASM and CRS install owner)
ora1           dbaora1 - first db owner
ora2           dbaora2 - second db owner
ora3           dbaora3 - third db owner
ora4           dbaora4 - fourth db owner
I understand that certain privileges need to be shared between ASM/CRS and DB owners. Please let me know the steps to be followed to complete this install.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please read that: Documentation http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B10766_08/intro.htm
- You can install and operate multiple Oracle homes and different versions of Oracle cluster database software on the same computer as described in the following points:
-You can install multiple Oracle Database 10g RAC homes on the same node. The multiple homes feature enables you to install one or more releases on the same machine in multiple Oracle home directories. However, each node can have only one CRS home.
-In addition, you cannot install Oracle Database 10g RAC into an existing single-instance Oracle home. If you have an Oracle home for Oracle Database 10g, then use a different Oracle home, and one that is available across the entire cluster for your new installation. Similarly, if you have an Oracle home for an earlier Oracle cluster database software release, then you must also use a different home for the new installation.
If the OUI detects an earlier version of a database, then the OUI asks you about your upgrade preferences. You have the option to upgrade one of the previous-version databases with DBUA or to create a new database using DBCA. The information collected during this dialog is passed to DBUA or DBCA after the software is installed.
- You can use the OUI to complete some of the de-install and re-install steps for Oracle Database 10g Real Application Clusters if needed.
Note:
Do not move Oracle binaries from one Oracle home to another because this causes dynamic link failures.
. If you are using ASM with Oracle database instances from multiple database homes on the same node, then Oracle recommends that you run the ASM instance from an Oracle home that is distinct from the database homes. In addition, the ASM home should be installed on every cluster node. This prevents the accidental removal of ASM instances that are in use by databases from other homes during the de-installation of a database's Oracle home.

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(
