Performance Degrades w/ Log Rotation On

I am running WLS 7.0 on Solaris 8. We are running an application in a single
weblogic server instance. We are using this environment to do functionality testing
of our application. When we turn on log rotation (generate 5 logs w/ max of 500K)
performance severely degrades. As soon as we turn off log rotation and use a
single log file the performance returns to acceptable levels.
Does anyone have a clue as to why this happens and if there is something that
can be done to correct this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Performance degradation with addition of unicasting option

We have been using the multi-casting protocol for setting up the data grid between the application nodes with the vm arguments as
*-Dtangosol.coherence.clusteraddress=${Broadcast Address} -Dtangosol.coherence.clusterport=${Broadcast port}*
As the certain node in the application was expected in a different sub net and multi-casting was not feasible, we opted for well known addressing with following additional VM arguments setup in the server nodes(all in the same subnet)
*-Dtangosol.coherence.machine=${server_name} -Dtangosol.coherence.wka=${server_ip} -Dtangosol.coherence.localport=${server_port}*
and the following in the remote client node that point to one of the server node like this
*-Dtangosol.coherence.wka=${server_ip} -Dtangosol.coherence.wka.port=${server_port}*
But this deteriorated the performance drastically both in pushing data into the cache and getting events via map listener.
From the coherence logging statements it doesn't seems that multi-casting is getting used atleast with in the server nodes(which are in the same subnet).
Is it feasible to have both uni-casting and multi-casting to coexist? How to verify if it is setup already?
Is performance degradation in well-known addressing is a limitation and expected?

Hi Mahesh,
From your description it sounds as if you've configured each node with a wka list just including it self. This would result in N rather then 1 clusters. Your client would then be serviced by the resources of just a single cache server rather then an entire cluster. If this is the case you will see that all nodes are identified as member 1. To setup wka I would suggest using the override file rather then system properties, and place perhaps 10% of your nodes on that list. Then use this exact same file for all nodes. If I've misinyerpreted your configuration please provide additional details.
Thanks,

Performance degradation factor 1000 on failover???

          Hi,
          we are gaining first experience with WLS 5.1 EBF 8 clustering on
          NT4 SP 6 workstation.
          We have two servers in the cluster, both on same machine but with
          different IP adresses (as it has to be)!
          In general it seems to work: we have a test client connecting to
          one of the servers and
          uses a stateless test EJB which does nothing but writing into weblogic.log.
          When this server fails, the other server resumes to work the client
          requests, BUT VERY VERY VERY SLOW!!!
          - I should repeat VERY a thousand times, because a normal client
          request takes about 10-30 ms
          and after failure/failover it takes 10-15 SECONDS!!!
          As naive as I am I want to know: IS THIS NORMAL?
          After the server is back, the performance is also back to normal,
          but we were expecting a much smaller
          performance degradation.
          So I think we are doing something totally wrong!
          Do we need some Network solution to make failover performance better?
          Or is there a chance to look closer at deployment descriptors or
          weblogic.system.executeThreadCount
          or weblogic.system.percentSocketReaders settings?
          Thanks in advance for any help!

See http://www.weblogic.com/docs51/cluster/setup.html#680201
          Basically, the rule of thumb is to set the number of execute threads ON
          THE CLIENT to 2 times the number of servers in the cluster and the
          percent socket readers to 50%. In your case with 8 WLS instances in the
          cluster, add the following to the java command line used to start your
          client:
          -Dweblogic.system.executeThreadCount=16
          -Dweblogic.system.percentSocketReaders=50
          Hope this helps,

Performance degradation in pl/sql parsing

We are trying to use xml pl/sql parser and noticed performance degradation as we run multiple times. We zeroed into the following clause:
doc := xmlparser.getDocument(p);
The first time the procedure is run the elapsed time at sqlplus is something like .45sec, but as we run repeatedly in the same session the elapsed time keeps on increasing by .02 seconds. If we log out and start fresh, we start again from .45sec.
We noticed similar degradation with
p := xmlparser.newParser;
but we got around by making the 'p' variable as package variable, initializing it once and using the same for all invocations.
Any suggestions?
Thank you.

Can I enhance the PL/SQL code for better performance ? Probably you can enhance it.
or, is this OK to take so long to process these many rows? It should take a few minutes, not several hours.
But please provide some more details like your database version etc.
I suggest to TRACE the session that executes the PL/SQL code, with WAIT events, so you'll see where and on what time is spent, you'll identify your 'problem statements very quickly' (after you or your DBA have TKPROF'ed the trace file).
SQL> alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
SQL> execute your PL/SQL code here
SQL> exitWill give you a .trc file in your udump directory on the server.

SCOM reports "A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation"

This was discussed here, with no resolution

I have the same issue. This is a single-purpose physical mailbox server with 320 users and 72GB of RAM. That should be plenty. I've checked and there are no manual settings for the database cache. There are no other problems with
the server, nothing reported in the logs, except for the aforementioned error (see below).
The server is sluggish. A reboot will clear up the problem temporarily. The only processes using any significant amount of memory are store.exe (using 53GB), regsvc (using 5) and W3 and Monitoringhost.exe using 1 GB each. Does anyone have
any ideas on this?

Brian,
We had this event log entry as well which SCOM picked up on, and 10 seconds before it the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange updated all of its engines.
We are running Exchange 2010 SP2 RU3 with no file system antivirus (the boxes are restricted and have UAC turned on as mitigations). We are running the servers primarily as Hub Transport servers with 16GB of RAM, but they do have the mailbox role installed
for the sole purpose of serving as our public folder servers.
So we theroized the STORE process was just grabbing a ton of RAM, and occasionally it was told to dump the memory so the other processes could grab some - thus generating the alert. Up until last night we thought nothing of it, but ~25 seconds after the
cache flush to paging file, we got the following alert:

So it seems as if the Forefront Protection 2010 for Exchange inadvertently trigger the cache flush which didn't appear to happen quick or thuroughly enough for the transport service to do what it needed to do, so it freaked out and performed the subsequent

Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this 906 warning, which cascaded into a transport service outage?
Thanks!

JDBC, SQL*Net wait interface, performance degradation on 10g vs. 9i

Hi All,
I came across performance issue that I think results from mis-configuration of something between Oracle and JDBC. The logic of my system executes 12 threads in java. Each thread performs simple 'select a,b,c...f from table_xyz' on different tables. (so I have 12 different tables with cardinality from 3 to 48 millions and one working thread per table).
In each thread I'm creating result set that is explicitly marked as forward_only, transaction is set read only, fetch size is set to 100000 records. Java logic processes records in standard while(rs.next()) {...} loop.
I'm experiencing performance degradation between execution on Oracle 9i and Oracle 10g of the same java code, on the same machine, on the same data. The difference is enormous, 9i execution takes 26 hours while 10g execution takes 39 hours.
I have collected statspack for 9i and awr report for 10g. Below I've enclosed top wait events for 9i and 10g

I put full blame for the slowdown on SQL*Net message to client wait event. All I could find about this event is that it is a network related problem. I assume it would be true if database and client were on different machines.. However in my case they are on them very same machine.
I'd be very very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, i.e. give a hint what statistics should I analyze further? what might cause this event to appear? why probable cause (that is said be outside db) affects only 10g instance?
Thanks in advance,
Rafi.

Hi Steven,
Thanks for the input. It's a fact that I did not gather statistics on my tables. My understanding is that statistics are useful for queries more complex than simple select * from table_xxx. In my case tables don't have indexes. There's no filtering condition as well. Full table scan is what I actually want as all software logic is inside the java code.
Explain plans are as follows:

Thanks for pointing me difference in table scans. I infer that 9i is doing single-block full table scan (db file sequential read) while 10g is using multi-block full table scan (db file scattered read).
I now have theory that 9i is faster because sequential reads use continuous buffer space while scattered reads use discontinuous buffer space. Since I'm accessing data 'row by row' in jdbc 10g might have an overhead in providing data from discontinuous buffer space. This overhead shows itself as SQL*Net message to client wait. Is that making any sense?
Is there any way I could force 10g (i.e. with hint) to use sequential reads instead of scattered reads for full table scan?
I'll experiment with FTS tuning in 10g by enabling automatic multi-block reads tuning (i.e. db_file_multiblock_read_count=0 instead of 32 as it is now). I'll also check if response time improves after statistics are gathered.
Please advice if you have any other ideas.
Thanks & regards,
Rafi.

Metadata Service : Performance degradation: unfetched field caused extra roundtrip

I am having a problem with SharePoint Metadata field, it gives me the error: Performance degradation: unfetched field [Products] caused extra roundtrip, and the page just crashes when I try to open the list, can anybody help me?

Hi,
Could you find out what product caused the extra roundtrip? Are you using SharePoint 2010 Server or Fundation? Meanwhile, you may check the logs first.
SharePoint 2010 log files are located in "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\LOGS" folder
Here is one article can be referred to.

Log Rotation

Hi,
We are monitoring our logs with several scripts, however we are finding inconsistency with the time of new logs created like access and error. We would like to have it created a new file everyday at 12:01 AM and should end at 11:59 PM.
Please let me know if someone knows how to do it with some DS Settings.
Thanks, John.

These are the links to the official docs for 5.x:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19341-01/817-5221/logs.html
From this manual you see that the only way to rotate by hand the log files is:
1) Stop the Directory Server instance
2) rename current access/error/audit log files
3) Restart Directory Server instance
In that case the DS will create a new access/error/audit log file.
Moreover from:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19341-01/817-5235/config.html#wp21217
We see that in 5.x version the attribute nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtime has a different syntax (single integer value) compared to what it has in 6.x and later releases, that doesn't allow to specify you the exact time to rotate the log files. It will simply rotate after the amount of units expressed by the nsslapd-accesslog-logrotationtimeunit attribute.
Given that we could mix a bit of both, and set a rotation policy from the Administration Console of the Directory Server Instance->Configuration Tab->Logs:
- Check the box Unlimited size
- Create new log every: *1 Day(s)*
- Click Save
A pop-up box will inform you that:
You have set an unlimited size for the log files. Note that this can be dangerous as it can cause problems to your system if the size of the logs is very big. Do you want to continue?
You can acknowledge this message and click Yes
This should create a policy to rotate the access log file every 1 day ( = 23h59m59s after last log rotation) regardless of log size. The only advice I have with these settings is that you've to carefully monitor also the filesystem occupation, or set a proper deletion policy.
Last step is then to sync the log time rotation, you have to 'manually' perform a rotation at midnight

Does Linux do anything About SSD Performance Degradation?

I have been thinking about getting an SSD for my laptop but just read this article on performance degradation of SSDs: http://www.anandtech.com/show/2738/8
I typically use ext4. Does anyone know if any of the Linux filesystems/kernels/etc do anything about SSD performance degradation? Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Maybe new SSDs don't have the issue?

My OCZ Vertex 2 SSDs slowed down just a tiny bit soon after installing them, but TRIM seems to be working well and they don't seem to be slowing down any further. I'm running them on ext4 with journaling enabled, and only the log files are being directed to temp files. Everything else is going to the SSDs, and they are being used just like regular hard drives.

Performance degradation with -g compiler option

Hello
Our mearurement of simple program compiled with and without -g option shows big performance difference.
Machine:
SunOS xxxxx 5.10 Generic_137137-09 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V250
Compiler:
CC: Sun C++ 5.9 SunOS_sparc Patch 124863-08 2008/10/16
#include "time.h"
#include <iostream>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
   for (int i = 0 ; i < 60000; i++)
       int *mass = new int[60000];
       for (int j=0; j < 10000; j++) {
           mass[j] = j;
       delete []mass;
   return 0;
}Compilation and execution with -g:
CC -g -o test_malloc_deb.x test_malloc.c
ptime test_malloc_deb.xreal 10.682
user 10.388
sys 0.023
Without -g:
CC -o test_malloc.x test_malloc.c
ptime test_malloc.xreal 2.446
user 2.378
sys 0.018
As you can see performance degradation of "-g" is about 4 times.
Our product is compiled with -g option and before shipment it is stripped using 'strip' utility.
This will give us possibility to open customer core files using non-stripped exe.
But our tests shows that stripping does not give performance of executable compiled without '-g'.
So we are losing performance by using this compilation method.
Is it expected behavior of compiler?
Is there any way to have -g option "on" and not lose performance?

In your original compile you don't use any optimisation flags, which tells the compiler to do minimal optimisation - you're basically telling the compiler that you are not interested in performance. Adding -g to this requests that you want maximal debug. So the compiler does even less optimisation, in order that the generated code more closely resembles the original source.
If you are interested in debug, then -g with no optimisation flags gives you the most debuggable code.
If you are interested in optimised code with debug, then try -O -g (or some other level of optimisation). The code will still be debuggable - you'll be able to map disassembly to lines of source, but some things may not be accessible.
If you are using C++, then -g will in SS12 switch off front-end inlining, so again you'll get some performance hit. So use -g0 to get inlining and debug.
HTH,
Darryl.

Performance Degradation with EJBs

I have a small J2EE application that consists of a Session EJB calling 3 Entity EJBs that access the database. It is a simple Order capture application. The 3 Entity beans are called Orders, OrderItems and Inventory.
A transaction consists of inserting a record into the order table, inserting 5 records into the orderitems table and updating the quantity field in the inventory table for each order item in an order. With this transaction I observe performance degradation as the transactions per second decreases dramatically within 5 minutes of running.
When I modify the transaction to insert a single record into the orderitems table I do not observe performance degradation. The only difference in this transaction is we go through the for loop 1 time as opposed to 5 times. The code is exactly the same as in the previous case with 5 items per order.
Therefore I believe the problem is a performance degradation on Entity EJBs that
get invoked in a loop.
I am using OC4J 10.1.3.3.
I am using CMP (Container Managed Persistence) and CMT (Container Managed Transactions). The Entity EJBs were all generated by Oracle JDeveloper.
EJB version being used is 2.1.

One thing to consider it downloading and using the Oracle AD4J utility to see if it can help you identify any possible bottlenecks, on the application server or the database.
AD4J can be used to monitor/profile/trace applications in real time with no instrumentation required on the application. Just install it into the container and go. It can even trace a request from the app server down into the database and show you the situation is down there (it needs a db agent installed to do that).

Performance Degradation from SSL

I have read articles which are showing that performance could go down to
1/10 with certain servers (Reference
http://isglabs.rainbow.com/isglabs/shperformance/SHPerformance.html) when
using SSL.
I am cuurently using WebLogic 4.5. Can anybody tell me what kind of
performance degradation would I see if I switch all my transactions from
normal unsecure http transactions to secure ones (SSL V3)?
Any help appreciated.
best regards, Andreas

Andreas,
Internal benchmarks (unofficial) have shown SSL to be 65-80% slower than
typical connections. So, anywhere between 3 to 5 times slower. This is the
same across all http servers.
In Denali (the next release), we're adding a performance pack enhancement
that includes native code impls of some of our crypto code. This should
show large speedups when it's released in March.
Thanks!

Performance Degradation - High fetches and Prses

1) High rate of Parses instead of Bind variables usage.
2) High fetches and poor number/ low number of rows being processed
Please let me kno as to how the performance degradation can be minimised, Perhaps the high number of SQL* Net Client wait events may be due to multiple fetches and transactions with the client.

But if you look at the text you are using bind variables.
The first query is executed 239 times - which matches the 239 fetches. You cut off some of the useful information from the tkprof output, but the figures show that you're executing more than once per parse call. The time is CPU time spent using a bad execution plan to find no data -- this looks like a bad choice of index, possibly a side effect of the first_rows(1) hint.
2) High fetches and poor number/ low number of rows being processedThe second query is doing a lot of fetches because in 163 executions it is fetching 4.7 million rows at roughly 25 rows per fetch. You might improve performance a little by increasing the array fetch size - but probably not by more than a factor of 2.
You'll notice that even though you record 163 parse calls for the second statement the number of " Misses in library cache during parse" is zero - so the parse calls are pretty irrelevant, the cursor is being re-used.

Performance degradation of Weblogic 5.1 sp 6 bundled with Peoplesoft 8.1.2:

Recenly we have upgraded from Peoplesoft 7 to Peoplesoft 8.1.2
Peoplesoft 8.1.2 bundled with Peopletools(Web based front end ) for the first
time and Weblogic 5.1 sp6.
There is performance degradation of the weblogic 5.1 sp 6 (on Windows 2000 ) when
the no of users increases to 80. The Weblogic is becoming 100% CPU bound. Besides
the weblogic wont even shutdown completely when trying to shutdown.
Peoplesoft customer support advised to upgrade to Weblogic 5.1 sp 9 but sp 9 wont
support 128 bit encription which Peoplesoft 8.1.2 application need. Peoplesoft
8.1.3 will be supporting 128 bit encription after some 3 months. We have to get
along with the above mentioned configuration (Peoplesoft 8.1.2 with Weblogic 5.1
sp 9) in the mean time.
Any of you had such an experience ? Please let me know if there is a solution
or workaround.
Thanks in advance.
Mani

There shouldn't be any reason that 5.1 SP9 wouldn't support 128 bit
encryption. If that's the issue, you should post in the security
newsgroup or contact [email protected]
