Oracle wait events
Hello colleagues,
Could you please let me know where can I find detailed information with regards to Oracle wait events?
I'm interested in methods that allow me to know how to identify performance issues on the system that are related to DB wait events.
Thanks and best regards
Rod
Hi there,
in addition to the already mentioned SAP notes, why don't you just check the Oracle documentation?
Most of the wait events are fully explained in there, along with the approach how to use the wait event data.
If you want to grasp a better understanding of the technique of wait time analysis, I highly recommend that you check the website of Cary Millsap and Method R. Cary provides great introductions into the theory behind the wait events and does a perfect job with explaining it.
regards,
Lars

Hi,
I have to investigate a 10gr2 SE database. it is performing badly. As i understand oracle now we need to look at what the database is WAITING for.
as it is SE then I cannot use AWR. Now I have seen this document which talks about wait classes
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/waitevents001.htm
can these be accessed with out AWR?

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 GarridoHello 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

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! -
Hi: I'm analyzing this STATSPACK report: it is "volume test" on our UAT server, so most input is from 'bind variables'. Our shared pool is well utilized in oracle. Oracle redo logs is not appropriately configured on this server, as in 'Top 5 wait events' there are 2 for redos.
I need to know what else information can be dig-out from 'foreground wait events' & 'background wait events', and what can assist us to better understanding, in combination of 'Top 5 wait event's, that how the server/test went? it could be overwelming No. of wait events, so appreciate any helpful diagnostic or analysis.

thank you very much!Hi: just know it now: it is a large amount of 'concurrent transaction' designed in this "Volume Test" - to simulate large incoming transaction volme, so I guess wait in eq:TX - row is expected.
The fact: (1) redo logs at uat server is known to not well-tune for configurations (2) volume test slow 5%, however data amount in its test is kept the same by each time import production data, by the team. So why it slowed 5% this year?
The wait histogram is pasted below, any one interest to take a look? any ideas?

Current wait events in oracle database
Hi guys need your help
I got a dataabse ruuning very slow and I need to find out the current wait events in the oracle database and can I find out what reason each session is waiting for.Use @wait.sql script to find out the wait events :
select sid, event, seconds_in_wait secs_wait, state,p1,p2,p3,wait_time,p1text,p2text,p3text
from v$session_wait
where sid in
+(select a.sid from v$session a, v$process b where a.paddr = b.addr+
and a.status = 'ACTIVE' and a.username is not null)
order by 1

Streams AQ wait event on Oracle 10g
Hello,
I have ECC 6.0 on W2k3 with Oracle. I have some wait event about Streams AQ :
Streams AQ: waiting for messages in the queue
Streams AQ: qmn slave idle wait
Streams AQ: qmn coordinator waiting for slave to start
What does it mean ? What can I do to fix that?
From what I read, it's seems to have something to do with parameter : aq_tm_processes
What this parameter whould be set to? It seems to be set to O now.
Thank you for any help,
NicholasHi,
What is the Patch Level of Oracle 10g which is in use ?
Please refer Oracle Meta link 428441.1 to get more information. It will tell you the reason and the possible alternatives to deal with it. You can refer SAP Note 758563 to get Oracle Meta link access.
Unless you use Oracle Streams Advanced Queuing , there's no need to set this parameter.
If AQ_TM_PROCESSES is not specified or is set to 0, then the queue monitor is not created.
In 10gR2 parameter AQ_TM_PROCESSES shouldn't be set explicitly in pfile/spfile, because Oracle autotunes it.
Also refer the [this link|SRM Alert Management does not determine recipient runtime?; to get more info.

Oracle 10.2.0.5
We we are running 2 node RAC and we frequently seeing the following waits in the top 5 wait event
cr request retry
gcs log flush sync
Couldn't locate these events in the database reference
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/waitevents.htm
Thanks
Saravanangcs log flush sync is similar to log file sync in standalone:
from - http://orainternals.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/riyaj_advanced_rac_troubleshooting_rmoug_2010_ppt.pdf (you might have more luck opening this one)
Gcs log flush sync
- But, if the instances crash right after the block is transferred to
other node, how does RAC maintain consistency?
-Actually, before sending a current mode block LMS process will
request LGWR for a log flush.
- Until LGWR sends a signal back to LMS process, LMS process
will wait on ‘gcs log flush’ event.
- CR block transfer might need log flush if the block was
considered “busy”.
- One of the busy condition is that if the block was constructed by
applying undo records.
cr request retry in some cases means that the message was lost and re-requested... this is tied to interconnect - either udp issues (like truncated udp packets or packets sent out of order), the session was lost on the other node, or the node restarted quickly... could also mean your nic might be flaky or something happening on the switch. If this is a big concern then you'll need to have someone look at the flow on in the interconnects as this is specific to cache fusion. -
Oracle RAC 9i LMD library cache lock top wait event
We are experiencing the library cache lock as our top wait event. Even thought the box is currently idle, The Global Enqueue Service Daemon (LMD) is taking up CPU cycles. The background process is also logging to trace "skgxpdocon: warning outstanding accept handle count has reached new high water mark 245000".
Any help would be appreciated.
ThanksThere is a new patch for this - check out p4673610 on metalink. We have also experience the problem in 9.2.0.8.

Library Cache Pin Wait Event (within the context of APEX)
Hello,
Firstly -
Oracle Version: 10.2.0.4.0
Apex Version: 3.0.1.00.08
Okay, my colleague (no really! This isn't one of those "Ahem ... A friend of mine has contracted something nasty +downstairs+..."-type questions) is having problems compiling a package (using TOAD incidentally, but it's the same in SQL Developer).
I've searched the forum and the web for a bit of help on what's maybe happening here and it appears to be related to a concurrency conflict with the package definition - from what I can understand it's a case of the package is in use by another session, therefore another session cannot alter it at the same time (which makes sense)
"What does this have to do with APEX?"... well, he is working on this package using the following methodology:
1. Compile the package body/spec (as necessary - body more often obviously)
2. run an apex page which uses the code in a process, which may or may not result in the error page being displayed
3. Making changes to the package body/spec
repeat steps 1-3 ad nauseum...
He is the only user directly accessing the schema (and the only user accessing the page via APEX too, although I appreciate this isn't quite the same thing).
I was wondering if, due to the architecture of APEX (the use of session pools etc), the state of a package might be being retained in some manner, thus resulting in this library cache pin wait event? If so, is there anything I can do to mitigate against this occurring?
p.s. the only difference I can see between this particular package and any other package in the schema is that this one interacts with blobs (including making references to the wwv_flow_files view) - with blobs being passed as parameters between procedures (thus potentially creating temporary blobs which may or may not being closed).
Any ideas?
p.p.s. there are also no DBMS_SCHEDULER jobs or anything that might potentially be running the code incidentally...

Problem identifying db object for "buffer busy waits" event.
10.2.0.3
AIX 64
SELECT username, a.p1text, a.p1, a.p2text, a.p2, a.p3text, a.p3, event FROM v$session a WHERE
a.status='ACTIVE'
AND a.event = 'buffer busy waits'
Query reports about 40 active sessions with this information:
file# 3746
block# 2
class# 13
select
owner,
segment_name,
segment_type
from
dba_extents
where
file_id = 3746
and
2 between block_id and block_id + blocks -1;
no rows returned
SELECT MAX(a.file#) FROM sys.file$ a
3535
This was only a temporary situation when after couple of minutes(7) wait event "buffer busy waits" dissapeared completely.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

Side 85 points at high extent allocation for File Header Block buffer busy waits
http://perfvision.com/ftp/hotsos/aas.ppt
Side 55 points at extent allocation too small/too many extents being allocated for File Header Block buffer busy waits
A couple hints from the documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/instance_tune.htm
"To determine the possible causes [of buffer busy waits], first query V$SESSION to identify the value of ROW_WAIT_OBJ# when the session waits for buffer busy waits."
"To identify the object and object type contended for, query DBA_OBJECTS using the value for ROW_WAIT_OBJ# that is returned from V$SESSION."
"V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS - This is a user-friendly view of statistic values. In addition to all the columns of V$SEGSTAT, it has information about such things as the segment owner and table space name. It makes the statistics easy to understand, but it is more costly."
You may want to query DBA_TEMP_FILES for the specific FILE_ID identified by the V$SESSION. Taking a look at V$SEGMENT_STATISTICS might also be helpful.
Are you using dictionary managed tablespaces, locally managed tablespaces with manual extent size management, ASSM with manual extent size management, or ASSM with automatic extent size management?

Thanks, Muhammed Thameem. SHello,
"Buffer busy waits" is contention for a buffer (representing a specific
version of a database block) within the Buffer Cache. So, in essence
it is block contention and thus it is most likely something to do with
the design of the tables and indexes supporting the application. A
built-in bottleneck. On indexes, it could be the age-old problem of
insertions into an index on a column with a monotonically-ascending
data value (i.e. timestamps or sequence numbers) which tends to cause
contention on the highest leaf node of the index. On tables, it might
have to do with many concurrent insertions into a table in a
freelist-managed tablespace where the table has only one freelist. It
could also be due to a home-grown implementation of sequence-number
generators (i.e. small table with one row, one column in which contains
the "last value" of a sequence, etc) which lots of people use to avoid
not being "portable across databases" which they think means not using
Oracle sequences (yadda yadda yadda).
I'd look for any SQL statement in the "SQL sorted by Elapsed Time"
section of the AWR report which exhibits high elapsed time but
relatively low CPU time, indicating a lot of wait time. Of course,
there are something like 800 possible wait events in current releases
of Oracle, of which "buffer busy waits" is only one, so this is just
inference and not a direct causal connection to your problem. But,
once I find such statements I'd check to see if they are
accessing/manipulating tables within the CUBS_DATA tablespace, and then
use "select * from table(dbms_xplan.display_awr('sql-id'))" to
get the execution plan(s), and then look for something ineffective
within the execution plan. You might find the script "sqlhistory.sql" helpful
here as well, to get a "historical perspective" on the execution of the
SQL statements over time, in case the buffer busy waits peaked at some
point in the past

Wait Time / Timeout Time in waiting events
Hi,
From manual, I came to know that some of waiting events having wait time or time out duration. I have not understood, what happens if it has reached timeout. What happens next ? ( Will you explain in more detail ). It saysl it will renew wait event. ( I have not understood what does mean "RENEW", Or what steps will be taken by Oracle, what happens if again reached timeout ) ?
Thanks for clearing my doubt in detail.
regards

Wait Events "log file parallel write" / "log file sync" during CREATE INDEX
Hello guys,
at my current project i am performing some performance tests for oracle data guard. The question is "How does a LGWR SYNC transfer influences the system performance?"
To get some performance values, that i can compare i just built up a normal oracle database in the first step.
Now i am performing different tests like creating "large" indexes, massive parallel inserts/commits, etc. to get the bench mark.
My database is an oracle 10.2.0.4 with multiplexed redo log files on AIX.
I am creating an index on a "normal" table .. i execute "dbms_workload_repository.create_snapshot()" before and after the CREATE INDEX to get an equivalent timeframe for the AWR report.
After the index is built up (round about 9 GB) i perform an awrrpt.sql to get the AWR report.
And now take a look at these values from the AWR
Avg
%Time Total Wait wait Waits
Event Waits -outs Time (s) (ms) /txn
log file parallel write 10,019 .0 132 13 33.5
log file sync 293 .7 4 15 1.0
......How can this be possible?
Regarding to the documentation
-> log file sync: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/waitevents003.htm#sthref3120
Wait Time: The wait time includes the writing of the log buffer and the post.-> log file parallel write: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/waitevents003.htm#sthref3104
Wait Time: Time it takes for the I/Os to complete. Even though redo records are written in parallel, the parallel write is not complete until the last I/O is on disk.This was also my understanding .. the "log file sync" wait time should be higher than the "log file parallel write" wait time, because of it includes the I/O and the response time to the user session.
I could accept it, if the values are close to each other (maybe round about 1 second in total) .. but the different between 132 seconds and 4 seconds is too noticeable.
Is the behavior of the log file sync/write different when performing a DDL like CREATE INDEX (maybe async .. like you can influence it with the initialization parameter COMMIT_WRITE??)?
Do you have any idea how these values come about?
Any thoughts/ideas are welcome.

Thank you for Nice Idea.
In this case, How can we reduce "log file parallel write" and "log file sync" waited time?
CREATE INDEX with NOLOGGINGA NOLOGGING can help, can't it?Yes - if you create index nologging then you wouldn't be generating that 10GB of redo log, so the waits would disappear.
Two points on nologging, though:
<ul>
it's "only" an index, so you could always rebuild it in the event of media corruption, but if you had lots of indexes created nologging this might cause an unreasonable delay before the system was usable again - so you should decide on a fallback option, such as taking a new backup of the tablespace as soon as all the nologging operatons had completed.
If the database, or that tablespace, is in +"force logging"+ mode, the nologging will not work.
</ul>
Don't get too alarmed by the waits, though. My guess is that the +"log file sync"+ waits are mostly from other sessions, and since there aren't many of them the other sessions are probably not seeing a performance issue. The +"log file parallel write"+ waits are caused by your create index, but they are happeninng to lgwr in the background which is running concurrently with your session - so your session is not (directly) affected by them, so may not be seeing a performance issue.
The other sessions are seeing relatively high sync times because their log file syncs have to wait for one of the large writes that you have triggered to complete, and then the logwriter includes their (little) writes with your next (large) write.
There may be a performance impact, though, from the pure volume of I/O. Apart from the I/O to write the index you have LGWR writting (N copies) of the redo for the index and ARCH is reading and writing the completed log files caused by the index build. So the 9GB of index could easily be responsible for vastly more I/O than the initial 9GB.
