Please Help!!  Easy Application Tuning Question

Ok - this should be an easy one for seasoned vets (but not for a newbie like me)
I've been asked by the boss-man to "find and tune the SQL that's causing the slowdown . . . " I'm on Oracle 817 running Peoplesoft Application. I've located the main problems with the Application and have some solid ideas about how to improve the SQL. So - my question. How the heck do I get into the Peoplesoft (or any other Application for that matter) SQL code to change it. Everything I read says, " . . . and then you can go in and tune the SQL . . . " but never exaplins how exactly to 'get in'. I can't imaging there is a File-->Open-->SQL Code feature, it must be more complex than that. So what am I missing here and how do I get to the place where I can change the Application's SQL for tuning?!?!?!?
Thanks in advance for any help you give.

Peoplesoft owns the application code. So you can't change the application code. However, you can examine the code and see if there are some indices that you can create to improve the query. Also, you will need to rebuild your statistics. As a matter of maintenance, you should rebuild your indices and statistics on a regular schedule. Especially if your optimizer parameter is choose and you have high volatility.
Alternatively, you could ask Peoplesoft to provide you with a patch.
Maybe someone else has another idea?

    2  What is the alternative to batch input session?
    3  An ABAP program creates a batch input session.   We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?

    Hi
    Batch Input Session:
    BATCH INPUT SESSION is an intermediate step between internal table
    and database table. Data along with the action is stored in session
    ie data for screen fields, to which screen it is passed, program
    name behind it, and how next screen is processed.
    Three processing modes of executing Batch Input Session :-
    Run Visibly : You can correct faulty transactions online & work step-by-step through  the transactions not yet executed.
    Display Errors only : You can correct faulty transactions online.   Transactions not yet executed, but without error, run in the background.
    Run in Background .
    2) What is the alternative to batch input session?
    Call transaction.
    3) An ABAP program creates a batch input session. We need to submit the program and the batch session in back ground. How to do it?
    go to SM36 and create background job by giving
         job name,job class and job steps (JOB SCHEDULING)

  • PlEASE HELP EASY QUESTION: unload event is not firing at all.

    Hi, onUnload event is not firing in Safari browser. I tried with different ways to capture that event but i failed to capture that event. So please help me on this, give suggestions to capture that event. Or any other event is firing when window is closing. Actually, i need to execute when window is closing. But in Safari the window is closing without firing of any events.

    Safari doesn't execute the unLoad action when closing windows, period!
    It only executes it when loading another page.
    I might be wrong but I think Safari doesn't allow you to close a window with Javascript at all. All close events are blocked.
    Maybe a SWF file can do it somehow. But I'm not sure...

  • Please help me with this question..

    Hi everyone,
    Sorry for asking the same question which was posted many times in this forum.
    I have the following scenario..
    Database name: database1
    schema names: schema1
                  schema2
                  schema3
                  schema4
                  schema5
                  schema6
                  schema7
    workspace is with: schema1
                       schema2
    1. can i create 1 application that need to access tables in both schema1 and schema2 ?
    comments: I think we have to choose "parsing schema" when i am creating an application.
              if i choose the parsing schema as "schema1".
    2.how can i create a "form on a table" or some other wizard based forms which is in schema2?
    3.what priviliges do i need to create "form on a table" or some other wizard based forms which is in schema2?
    4.As my workspace is with schema1 and schema2. How can i create "forms" on tables which are in
    schema3? do i need to "create a view of table in schema3"  in schema1?
    All the above question will raise if i have to create forms or reports with "wizards". Is this stmt correct?
    I mean if i create a form "manually" all i need to look whether i have insert,update and delete priv on
    that object? is it correct?i think this question was answered several times.sorry for the repost.
    Thanks

    It is not necessary to say "please help me" since help comes almost always. Maybe sometimes you need to bump your question after a while. However, back to your question. I can tell you how I solve that problem:
    granting select, insert, update, delete on all tables to the parsing schema
    granting select on all views to the parsing schema
    granting execute on all procedures and packages to the parsing schema
    creating synonyms in the parsing schema for all tables, views, sequences, etc.
    You can do all of this programatically in a loop instead of writing it for each object separatelly.

  • Please Help, Several Applications Won't Open!

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this. Please point me in the right direction if it isn't. I just did a software update. The current "internet security update" was, I believe, one of installs (I wish I paid more attention). Now, I have several internet related applications that won't work. Safari, my browser of choice, won't open (I'm doing this on Firefox). My email app, Eudora, won't open. Quicktime won't open. I just tried reinstalling both Safari and Eudora. Both still won't open. I haven't done anything with Quicktime yet. Just checked other applications (RealPlayer, Windows Media Player). Neither will open. Is there a conflict somewhere? How can I resolve this? Please help!
    Thank you.
    FYI: I have a Titanium G4 550MHz PowerBook running OS 10.4.10.

    As others have noted, get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall everything.
    These should get you pointed in the right direction:

  • My ipod touch is disabled. Please help me with my questions. It is my first apple device.

    My ipod is disabled. When i turn it on it says to connect to itunes. I can get to where the screen displays a cord and an itunes logo, but itunes does not pop up, nor display my devices. This is probably because I have not synced my ipod with this computer, nor with any computer. How do I sync my ipod with itunes when it is disabled? How do I get itunes to pop up when my ipod is connected to the computer? Please dont give me a link, i really would like a step by step guide. I have itunes downloaded on this computer, but it does not pop up or display my devices. Do I need to create an itunes account? I have so many questions because this is my first apple device. If you were wondering, my ipod touch is disabled because I forgot my passcode. PLEASE help, I dont care if I have to reset my ipod, I just want to be able to use it!

    Use Device Firmware Mode...
    1.     Turn off your ipod To do this, hold the home and sleep buttons for 10 seconds, ignore slide to power off message.
    2.     Release the power button when you see the apple logo (keep holding the home button)
    3.     Keep holding until you see a message.
    Now restore from a backup!
    Alternatively you can wait!

  • Please HELP! Music Player Question!

    I have a music player that I am working on. Here is a link to
    the site
    Omyda Player. If you
    click the little blinking arrow it reveals a control panel. Then
    when you press track selector a window within the flash movie, you
    can then chose a track and it will play. Do to the players slim
    size the fonts have to be made small, so small its hard to read
    unless you have good eyes. What I wanted to do is make it so that
    if you hit track selector it pops up a html pop up window. You can
    then choose your track and it sends the request to the flash
    player. I was thinking of going about it this way!
    I have to use java to send a command to the flash player....
    here is the code.
    The code above actually sends commands to what ever flash
    movie you designate, problem is it is only made to send go to frame
    commands.
    Part 2 is the java button.
    Now how do I name the home.html page? I know how to do a
    window with in a window, but not a pop up to a page. Say for
    example the popup is popup.html, how do I name the home.html. Do I
    simply put home.html in target? Part 3 is an example, Is this
    correct? If not how do I do it?
    Now here comes an issue with the flash. The java code above
    goes to a frame within the movie. So now I have to make a script on
    frame 3 of the movie that tells it to make a button press, but I do
    not know how to do it. Originally the movie worked by pressing a
    button that was marked as a button set as a target called
    Selection1 and so on. How would I make a script on frame 3 that
    would press the button on its own? Kinda like a simulated user
    press. Or is there a way to edit the Java code to act as a button
    press? Please HELP! Part 4 is the coding used in the player!

    Its called telling you the forum rules.
    Now for your question, when you say the phone tells the caller that you are engaged, is it the "busy" tone or it diverts the caller to your voice mail box?

  • PLEASE HELP IN ANSWERING FEW QUESTIONS

    Hello Experts,
    i have few questions, could you please help me in getting familiar to this:
    1. What is Enterprise Structure?
    2. What is Organisational unit for for all SAP modules?
    3. can one chart of account can be assigned to more than one company code?
    4. how many company codes can be assigned to single company?
    5. All versions of SAP Till Now?
    Thanks!!

    Im pretty new to all this too, but this is how you validate an XML file against a XSD:
    You need to set the features of youre parser so that it is ready to validate.
    You will also need to extend the SAXErrorHandler with youre own CustomErrorHandler,
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema", validate);
    parser.setFeature("http://apache.org/xml/features/validation/schema-full-checking", validate);
    parser.setProperty("http://apache.org/xml/properties/schema/external-noNamespaceSchemaLocation", schemaUrl);
    CustomerErrorHandler handler = new CustomErrorHandler()
    parser.setErrorHandler(handler);
    parser.parse(xmlFiles);The XML file then needs t o have a reference to the XSD that is needs to be validated against at the top of the file:
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3schools.com c:\\WINNT\Desktop\youreXSD.xsd
    I think you will also need to catch and handle at least the SAXException....
    Hope this helps,

  • PLEASE HELP, I have 3 questions...

    Okay, so I just bought my 30GB Ipod and have a few nube questions.
    1. How can I scan the ipod for viruses?
    2. Is it normal that with no music on the ipod it says i have something like 28 or 27 gigs available? Is this space just used up by games and other applications that come previously installed?
    3. For albums that are loaded onto the ipod I have assigned them album art, these are displayed when I play the songs in my itunes, but they dont display while playing the album on my ipod. HELP PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!

    1) As far as I know, viruses aren't an issue for iPods.
    2) This is normal because of the way manfacturer's calculate hard disk space. See the explantion at the bottom of this link.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60955
    3) Sorry really can't help since I'm on a Mac, but I do know that playlists have nothing to do with displaying album art.

  • Please Help!! Two questions...balance on itunes & how to reinstall tunes

    My computer crashed recently and I just had to reinstall my operating system and all programs. These may be dumb questions but I'm not a computer guy...
    1) I had a $46 balance on itunes when this happened, now I have to redownload itunes, is my balance still saved in my account? How will I get to it?
    2) I was lucky enough to transfer my itunes music folders over to an external hard drive before the crash, but I'm a little concerned on how to get them back in my itunes library when I get itunes back up again. Is it as easy as the click and drag method I used to transfer all the songs to my back up hard drive? I know I'm a little screwed because I didn't tranfer my songs the way that I just read to on this website so I'm nervous. I have about 9000 songs to get back. Of course, I lost my playlists because I didn't do it correct but please tell me I still have all my songs.
    Thanks a lot whoever can reassure me and help out.

    i have no idea about the balance thing, but the music to library question is easy if i understand it right. just reinstall itunes, then select, on the itunes menu, file, add folder to library, and then browse through the computer for your external drive and select it. if your drive is partitioned or your music is in more than one folder, just add them one at a time. this wont move your music into the itunes folder per se; it'll just add them to your library and they'll remain in the external drive they were on. hope that actually answers your question and i didn't miss the point entirely.

  • PLEASE help me settle this question....

    does BlazeDS support data real-time data synchronization? My manager says it does, but i thought that at the last MAX i specifically asked that question and was told that it is only supported under LiveCycle.
    Example:
    I have a textInput synchronized to a field in my database. I update the value in that textInput box and the value in the database is automatically updated immediately, with NO further button pushes or anything.
    Is this available using BlazeDS? He showed me a bunch of new data services in the new FlashBuilder that seem to set this functionality up, but i'm still skeptical.
    One last thing, if you do know the answer will you PLEASE provide me with a link that provides information on the subject. I've googled a bit and i can't seem to get a clear answer.

    1)how to check which object in database need to be reorg.If you see a performance problem, then you evaluate it to see what the real problem is. There are some things that can necessitate a reorg - bugs, massive deletes, certain application designs, old problems - bug in general, it is not necessary.
    2)how to calculate approx.sapce required to create perticular index.Look in the [url http://bit.ly/wlJgYD]freaking docs.
    3)what is diffrence in stats gather and analysedThe old analyze command has been decremented. Use the supplied procedure to gather stats. This is already running automatically in modern versions, although not always with the best options.
    4)what is exact reason expdp is faster than export.It depends. In fact, there have been bugs where the metadata part of the expdp is way slow. There are also options (such as direct) in the old exp that could make it as fast or faster.
    5)does creating more index in table degrade the performance? why?It might. It might not. In some cases, the mere existence of an index can help the optimizer, even if it isn't used. In some cases, the overhead of maintaining too many indices can hurt.
    6)what database helth releted activity need to perform in database for weekly or monthly basis like (reclaim the object space and many others)There aren't many, but MOS has some interesting articles on health checking databases.
