High user input output (I/O) and physical reads

Hi guys
Recently we have noticed that our database performance degraded significantly. as we looked around in grid control we noticed that the user IO and Physical reads are really high which cause the database to be laggy.
at first we thought it was memory problem, so we added 2gb to sga. we have set sga to be automatic and it's been like this for the past 2 years.
how do i trouble shoot this problem. i haven't found any troubleshooting guide for it yet.
please instruct me on how to solve it
database: 10.2.0.4 sparc
regards
Sina

Difference between "Physical Read Total IO Requests Per Sec" and "Physical Read IO Requests Per Sec"

What is the difference between "Physical Read Total IO Requests Per Sec" and "Physical Read IO Requests Per Sec" metrics in dba_hist_sysmetric_summary?

From docs (Reference, Statistics Descriptions) :
physical read IO requests : Number of read requests for application activity (mainly buffer cache and direct load operation) which read one or more database blocks per request. This is a subset of "physical read total IO requests" statistic.
physical read total IO requests : Number of read requests which read one or more database blocks for all instance activity including application, backup and recovery, and other utilities.

What causes BUFFER GETS and PHYSICAL READS in INSERT operation to be high?

Hi All,
Am performing a huge number of INSERTs to a newly installed Oracle XE 10.2.0.1.0 on Windows. There is no SELECT statement running, but just INSERTs one after the other of 550,000 in count. When I monitor the SESSION I/O from Home > Administration > Database Monitor > Sessions, I see the following stats:
BUFFER GETS = 1,550,560
CONSISTENT GETS = 512,036
PHYSICAL READS = 3,834
BLOCK CHANGES = 1,034,232
The presence of 2 stats confuses. Though the operation is just INSERT in database for this session, why should there be BUFFER GETS of this magnitude and why should there by PHYSICAL READS. Aren't these parameters for read operations? The BLOCK CHANGES value is clear as there are huge writes and the writes change these many blocks. Can any kind soul explain me what causes there parameters to show high value?
The total columns in the display table are as follows (from the link mentioned above)
1. Status
2. SID
3. Database Users
4. Command
5. Time
6. Block Gets
7. Consistent Gets
8. Physical Reads
9. Block Changes
10. Consistent Changes
What does CONSISTENT GETS and CONSISTENT CHANGES mean in a typical INSERT operation? And does someone know which all tables are involved in getting these values?
Thank,
...

Hans, gracias.
The table just have 2 columns, both of which are varchar2 (500). No constraints, no indexes, neither foreign key references are in place. The total size of RAM in system is 1GB, and yes, there are other GUI's going on like Firefox browser, notepad and command terminals.
But, what does these other applications have to do with Oracle BUFFER GETS, PHYSICAL READS etc.? Awaiting your reply.Total RAM is 1GB. If you let XE decide how much RAM is to be allocated to buffers, on startup that needs to be shared with any/all other applications. Let's say that leaves us with, say 400M for the SGA + PGA.
PGA is used for internal stuff, such as sorting, which is also used in determing the layout of secondary facets such as indexes and uniqueness. Total PGA usage varies in size based on the number of connections and required operations.
And then there's the SGA. That needs to cover the space requirement for the data dictionary, any/all stored procedures and SQL statements being run, user security and so on. As well as the buffer blocks which represent the tablespace of the database. Since it is rare that the entire tablespace will fit into memory, stuff needs to be swapped in and out.
So - put too much space pressure on the poor operating system before starting the database, and the SGA may be squeezed. Put that space pressure on the system and you may enbd up with swapping or paging.
This is one of the reasons Oracle professionals will argue for dedicated machines to handle Oracle software.

Executing windows executables with user Input / Output capabilities

Hi all,
I have a command that I can run on the DOS prompt with following output:

Reading smart cards........
Using the card in reader 1. Enter the PIN:
Attempting to start C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM32/notepad.exe as user "MyCertificates DN Printed Here" ...Then notepad opens...viola.
Heres the problem I have doing this in Java. I do not know how to tell Java that while reading

it is text in my IDE.

ideas?
SK

Okay, made a little progress.
I created a new subClass called OutputGobbler that should be able to send the pin back to the inputStream of the Process object.
I also created a set / get bean for storing the pin. It all works up till it executes, then I get an ExitValue of 1.
What I think is happening is that the OutputGobbler IS writing the pin correctly...but its just not in the correct format for the
runas executable. This is because the exit value is 1, which means invalid function, which is usually caused by bad syntax.
Here is the updated code, I am posting entire code since much has changed. Output is below.

Currently I'm trying "bw.write(pin)" hoping that the pin (as String type) will be put in the correct format, but it is not.
I also tried:
bw.write(pin);
bw.newline();
also
bw.write(pin.toCharArray());
bw.newline();
All give same error of ExitValue 1.
Frustration is setting in...

Repeating User input (such as name and date) on each page automatically

Is there a way of having the information provided by the user on one page, such as name and date, automatically repeated on separate pages (perhaps as a header/footer.) The input would be via Reader only.
I have an application form of four pages, after the first page there is no direct unique evidence linking the remaining pages to the first.
Basically I want each page when printed to have an identifier, so that in the event of the pages getting mixed up, they can be put back together.
Any advice gratefully accepted

Hi,
you can sole your problem with many way...
- You can use Global binding, so user nter data one time and every field with the same name automaticaly get the same value.
- You can use some Javascritp to obtain similar effects (more complicated but more fexible):
Create a Js Object (name it Global for Example).
Create some variables, i.e.: var field1;
Place one field in master pages and in their initialize event use the statement below:
Global.field1 = this;
In this way you obtayn a refernce that you can use everywhere in your form.
For example you can write: Global.field1.rawValue = "Hello word";
I hope this helps :-)
Bye.

Consistent gets and physical reads

Hi all,
I am tuning a DM SQL query, by comparing execution plans with STAR TRANSFORMATION enabled or disabled. I got the following results:
STAR TRANSFORMATION ON
74889 consistent gets
254365 physical reads
STAR TRANSFORMATION OFF
1945892 consistent gets
168028 physical reads
I thought a physical read would be counted as a logical read as well, because the data block would be read from disk (1 physical IO), placed in the buffer cache and then read from there (1 more logical IO or consistent get).
So, one physical IO does not cause a logical IO?
Thanks!
Edited by: user10634835 on 12-Jul-2011 08:40

But shouldn't consistent gets be >= physical reads (Since, as per my understanding, 1 PIO causes at least 1 LIO)? In this case it is not.
74889 consistent gets
254365 physical readsJust clarifying for my knowledge.

User view output in IE and the output is in portrait but should be in landscape

No issue create BI template. Completed successfully run in oracle 11.5.10.2 and able to print it out in landscape as expected.. BUT when user click the "view output" button. The IE pop up open the output file. when user either save it or print it, it will save and print in Portrait even the BI template is landscape. Anything I can do to "fix" it so user save and print the output from IE stay in landscape?

First, I would try disabling any Add-ons like Adblock Plus, or NoScript.
Second, possibly try disabling anti-virus
Third, if that didn't do it, I would then Restart FF in Safe Mode, and see if that worked.
Then, re-enable each individually, to see which is causing it.

User input in short notation and then full description of it ...

Hi,
well I have solve this problem:
Notation:

sorry something went wrong :)
Hi,
well I have solve this problem:
Notation: Meaning:
A Ace
2...10 Card values
J Jack
Q Queen
K King
D Diamonds
H Hearts
S Spades
C Clubs
The program shoul print the full description of the card, for example 4H -> Four of Heart
I tried this method to solve:
I Implemented a class Card with the constructor and a getDescription method (should return a description of the card)
if the the notation is not in the correct format the method should return "unknown" ...
here is what i tried can someone please help me I dont really know how the solve this:
public class Card {
      * Construct a Notation object
      * @param notation
     public Card (String notation)
          nota = notation ;
     public void getDescription ()
          if (nota == "A")
               System.out.println("Ace of ");
          String[] cv={"Ace","Two","Three","Four","Five","Six","Seven","Eight","Nine","Ten","Jack","Queen","King"};
           String[] cb={"A","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","J","Q","K"};
           String out="";
           for (int j=0;j<cv.length;j++) {
              if (nota.startsWith(cb[j])) {
                 out+=cv[j]+" of ";
                 break;
           if (nota.endsWith("D")) out+="Diamonds";
           else if (nota.endsWith("H")) out+="Hearts";
           else if (nota.endsWith("S")) out+="Spades";
           else out+="Clubs";
           System.out.println(out);
     }Then I want to use a CardTester Class to test the Class Card ...
public class CardTester {
     public static void main (String[] args)
          Card notation = new Card;
}

Dealing w/ User Input and Multiple Objects

I am trying to write a simple interface where a user inputs his/her name and id and then a Patron object is created based on their given input. I am having trouble when there are multiple patrons. My problem is referencing the different Patron objects with the different names and id's. I was wondering how I could maybe filter through the objects to retrieve the one that I want. He is some code.
With this works for me because each object has a unique name:
lib.addBook(book);
                    lib.addBook(book2);
                    lib.addPatron(patron);
                    lib.addPatron(patron2);
This does not work though because each patron object being added has the same name:
System.out.print("\nName: ");
                    name = br.readLine();
                    System.out.print("ID: ");
                    id = br.readLine();
                    pat = new Patron(name, id);
                    lib.addPatron(pat);
If I did not explain my problem well please let me know. Thanks.

Without any interface I can create my objects like this giving them all unique names, such as patron1, patron2, patron3, and so on.
          lib.addBook(book);
                    lib.addBook(book2);
                    lib.addPatron(patron);
                    lib.addPatron(patron2);
With and interface I am having trouble finding a way to give each object a unique name. This is my code for adding a new patron to the Hashset.
System.out.print("\nName: ");
                    name = br.readLine();
                    System.out.print("ID: ");
                    id = br.readLine();
                    pat = new Patron(name, id);
                    lib.addPatron(pat);
How can I reference a specific object in the Hashset? This is my problem. Thanks.

Calling report from a form with user input parameters

Hello,
I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
But this doesnt work.
Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

Thanks for the quick response Denis.
I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
DECLARE
report_id report_object;
vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';
v_report_server VARCHAR2 (30) := 'repserver90';
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPTEST');
-- Call the generic PL/SQL procedure to run the Reports
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC( report_id,'repserver90','PDF',CACHE,'D:\Report\sales.rdf','paramform=no','/reports/rwservlet');
END;
... and the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY code in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure is as:
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(
report_id REPORT_OBJECT,
report_server_name VARCHAR2,
report_format VARCHAR2,
report_destype_name NUMBER,

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,report_destype_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,report_format);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');

hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&userid='||get_application_property(username)||'/'||get_application_property(password)||'@'||get_application_property(connect_string);
c_old :='@';
FOR i IN 1..LENGTH(report_otherparam) LOOP
c_new:= substr(report_otherparam,i,1);
IF (c_new =' ') THEN
c:='&';
ELSE
c:= c_new;
END IF;
-- eliminate multiple blanks
IF (c_old =' ' and c_new = ' ') THEN
null;
ELSE
v_report_other := v_report_other||c;
END IF;
c_old := c_new;
END LOOP;
hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other;
hidden_action := reports_servlet||'?_hidden_server='||report_server_name|| encode(hidden_action);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'pfaction='||hidden_action||' '||report_otherparam);
-- run Reports
report_message := run_report_object(report_id);
rep_status := report_object_status(report_message);
IF rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
vjob_id :=substr(report_message,length(report_server_name)+2,length(report_message));
message('job id is'||vjob_id);pause;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(reports_servlet||'/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||report_server_name,' _blank');
ELSE
--handle errors
null;
END IF;
In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
Thanks in advance.

=====================
as we see above , we have high "IP Input" about differnece in cpu =67-54=13 % , which is high value process in software .
i follwed the article here :
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/routers/7500-series-routers/41160-highcpu-ip-input.html
i check and found that my router is fine ,
no arp calls.
no routing loops.
no flapping links.
i checked that my router has cef enabled and no enormous routing protocol updates
i found that i have big differnce between hardware & software process on the router which is 13 %
but when the traffic is more and more , the cpu reach reach 93 % and begin to have drops.
i just want to ask , how can i debug the operations that are done on the cpu processor of the router ???
i mean that if i know that traffic , i can estimate and know the problem that increasing my cpu !!!
another question :
how to debug the packest that has a ttl exceeded 50 or ttl exceeded 100 ?????
i dont wan tto make debug ip packed , because i have a huge traffic and it will let my router hanged due to large debug !!
===============
righ now i will post my router config and some verification:

Date difference calculation with user input variable

Hi,
I have the following requirement in BEx:
The user inputs a date value and I have to calculate the difference between the date entered by the user with the Due Date in the cube, to determine the number of backlog days. Basically, I need to calculate Past Due in number of days. I need to display the Amount due for the Time buckets like 1 -10 days, 11 -30 days.
The report output has to be in the format below:
Columns:
1 u2013 10 days Past Due      $100.00
11 u2013 30 days Past Due    $15.00
Rows:
Customer#
The cube has data from Jan 2005 to June 2008.
For Eg:   User Input Date =   04/30/2008.
It should compare the input date to the due date for each record in the cube.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Hi Kumar,
We have developed simar reports in our previous projects.
You need to follow the following steps.
1. Create a new restricted key figure globally on Past Due $100. Restriction details I will let you know in the ensuing steps.
2. Create another restricted key figure globally on Past Due $15. Restriction details I will let you know in the ensuing steps.
3. Create a Z varuable on Calday and offset it -1 (use the button next to exclude button).
4.Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -10 (use the button next to exclude button).
5. Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -11 (use the button next to exclude button).
6. Create another Z varuable on Calday and offset it -30(use the button next to exclude button).
7 Restrict the RKF past due 100$ (defined in sl 1)between the variable range defined in 3 and 4.
8. Restrict the RKF past due 15$ (defined in sl 2) between the variable range defined in 5 and 6
Now drag and drop those two RKF to column and you will get the desired result in C1 and C2 as follows:
Columns:
C1 :1 u2013 10 days Past Due $100.00
C2 :11 u2013 30 days Past Due $15.00
If the above info serves your purpose, please reward me with the point.

Subha

Using User Input Rather Than "strStartFolder".

Hi guys!
This script is very simple but it's part of a project I've been working on for some time now. Any VBS guru (or novice for that matter) will be able to tell what it does after a brief scan of the code. Again, like I said, this is a very simple
script.
For newcomers, this script siimply looks for duplicate files in a folder on one or more of your drives.
However, I'm having 2 issues...
First, I need to change the script to where the Wscript engine is used to ask for user input via an InputBox and for that data to be read into a variable which could be "strStartFolder"? If
not, any variable will do, but having to enter in location you wish to search by editing the script manually is not practical.
strStartFolder instead of someone having to edit the code manually each time and enter the path to the folder you wish to scan. In this example, I have last scanned the "Largest Vidz Appz and Musik Folder" on drive H:\. I did this manually
of course...
I have played with this using several methods which all only seemed to work "partially".
The second issue I am having is that you cannot scan just a drive. It MUST be a folder. If you input, for example, "H:\" you will receive an error stating that either permission has been denied or the path cannot be found.
Still being somewhat of a noob myself when it comes to scripting I'm sure there is some simple parameter I can/could have entered to fix this but I tried, "H:\*", H:\*\", H:\*.xxx"\ (.xxx being the extension of course) and other things).
Nothing seems to work but I believe that is because of who the original VBS was coded initially. Again, this is why I come to the greatest resource on the net.
One more thing, when all is said and done the script should ask for a user's input via Wscript so that an InputBox greets them with a message such as, "Please enter the location you wish to scan for duplicates:". And then, depending on their
answer (being of correct syntax, etc, etc) the script runs and outputs a file named "dups.txt" using the Cscript engine.
Please note that I have been running the script as follows to allow for output to a text document. "C:\cscript //nologo FindDuplicates.vbs > duplicates.txt", I would like to avoid having to do this as well if possible but it's ok if not.
Running this script by "double clicking" can be a disaster if you have tons of duplicate files. So asking for user input is the only area where Wscript need be used. But hey, this is why I'm here. For guidance...
This is cake for most of you so I will be interested in seeing the different ways you all come up with resolving this issue.
Anyway, here is the script! Thanks in advance for your help!
Dave
Set objDictionary = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strStartFolder = "H:\Largest Vidz, Appz and Musik Folder"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
strName = objFile.Name
strPath = objFile.Path
If Not objDictionary.Exists(strName) Then
objDictionary.Add strName, strPath
Else
objDictionary.Item(strName) = objDictionary.Item(strName) & ";" & strPath
End If
Next
ShowSubfolders objFSO.GetFolder(strStartFolder)
For Each strKey in objDictionary.Keys
strFileName = strKey
If InStr(objDictionary.Item(strFileName), ";") Then
arrPaths = Split(objDictionary.Item(strFileName), ";")
Wscript.Echo strFileName
For Each strFilePath in arrPaths
Wscript.Echo strFilePath
Next
Wscript.Echo
End If
Next
Sub ShowSubFolders(Folder)
For Each Subfolder in Folder.SubFolders
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(Subfolder.Path)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each objFile in colFiles
strName = objFile.Name
strPath = objFile.Path
If Not objDictionary.Exists(strName) Then
objDictionary.Add strName, strPath
Else
objDictionary.Item(strName) = objDictionary.Item(strName) & ";" & strPath
End If
Next
ShowSubFolders Subfolder
Next
End Sub
Again, thank you in advance for your help.. And why is some of my text here in this post showing in smaller font than other text? It seems to be dependent on the line you type on? This is,
of course, not the problem I came here to resolve, I am only curious. ;-)

Thank you for your response!
So if I used the "MyMessage" variable after the "=" in the line below then the users input should be the folder that is searched as long as your lines are added before this line correct?
Thanks again!

strStartFolder = "H:\Largest Vidz, Appz and Musik Folder"
