Slowness during first oracle operation of the day

Hi All
In our application(trading application) first oracle transaction takes time after starting process(transaction invokes calling packages,insert and select queries)
Second and so forth transaction gets executed in very less time ( first transaction take around 1200 miliseconds and after first transaction other transactions take near about 80 miliseconds)
Please suggest what should we do for first transaction time improvement.

Hi,
> take a chill pill & realize that 1.2 seconds is a reasonable response time. … I'd say your client has already spent more money on this (paying for your billable time) than they will ever recover.
The OP already mentioned that this performance issue is faced by a trading application and if you think about high performance environments like high frequency trading apps, then 1200 ms compared to 80 ms are like a journey to the moon and back in such environments. I also did not believe how much money depends on a few milliseconds until i worked for such clients. However back to main topic.
> Please suggest what should we do for first transaction time improvement.
At first you need to identify the "bottleneck" or better said the difference between the 1200 ms and 80 ms executions. AWR / ASH is not reasonable in such short runtime cases due to 1 out of 10 samples (of 1 second snapshots) and system wide statistics. Enable an extended SQL trace with waits, binds and all execution plan dumps and compare both runs. Provide these results or the raw trace files here and then we are able to suggest anything valid. Maybe you have to capture more detailed session statistics as well (e.g. with Snapper), but this will be obvious afterwards.
> We already increase the size of shared pool from 3 gb to 5 gb and also we did pinning of packages and frequently used tables but we got slightly improvement.
Do you know that the response time difference is caused by loading PL/SQL packages, etc. or was this just a shot in the dark? Please follow the previously mentioned extended SQL trace approach to do a systematic and productive analysis / troubleshooting.

  • An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR3 during a paging operation. - The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR7

    How can i ensure that the harddisk3 designation is relatd with USB etxernal disk?
    I have several erros in LOGs:
    An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR3 during a paging operation.
    and
    The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk3\DR7
    All times are HardDisk3 and sometimes it references to DR3 and sometimes DR7
    My disk structure is:
    2 RAID5 arrays fomr the same disks (80GB and 2 TB)
    and USB 2 TB External hard disk with several partitions
    I´m 99% sure that the error is related to the external USB disk and the Dell DIag tool shows no problems with any component

    Hi,
    For finding the exact hard disk you could refer to this article. It is an old article but the structure is not changed:
    How to Distinguish a Physical Disk Device from an Event Message
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/159865
    Meanwhile for the error message "error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\DR3 during a paging operation", according to my search result it could be related to fragments. So please try a defragment on your hard disk (if it is the USB disk then perform
    a defragment on USB disk) and see the result. 
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • My location bar has stopped auto completing and I have not changed anything on my machine. It works for perhaps the first two tries of the day and then stops auto-completing

    Recently my location bar stopped autocompleting. I cleared my cache but it did not help. it seems to work the first few times when i start Firefox , but then stops. If I quit and restart Firefox, the same thing happens. I have tired checking it after my computer has been shutdown for the night (which I do about once a week), and also after it goes to sleep (which I do frequently).

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • How to get the Day of the Month and Date on Home Screen

    The home screen has the signal strength on the upper left, the time in the middle and the battery status on the right. What is missing from my old phone (really, really old phone) is the day - like Sunday, and the date - like the 20th. I have to go to a calendar program to get what should be available at a glance, just like the time.
    Can this be done?
    aehaas

    If you put the Apple calendar app on the first screen, it shows the day and date (no month/year). E.g Sunday 20.

  • How to get the day of 52 weeks ago data

    hi all:
    i recently encounter the difficulty that using the current data to get the 52 weeks ago data in essbase.the fct table is like this:
    current_dt the_day_of_week sales
    20110203 5dw05 100
    20100207 5dw05 30
    note: "5dw05" means the fifth day of five week in the selected year
    the question is which essbase formula to choise or how to use them in essbase outline structure can meet the bussines role that when the biz men chlic on the member "20110203" of time dimension, the extension mesure "bf_sales" value is 30.
    the outline i am about to design under the bellow:
    dim_time
    201002
    20110201(alias 4dw05)
    20110202(alias 5dw05)
    20110203(alias 6dw05)
    201102
    20110206(alias 4dw05)
    20110207(alias 5dw05)
    dim_measure
    sales
    bf_sales(will use the essbase formula,but do not know which function to choise or how to use it)
    i am lovely hope one of you may give me suggestion on this issue. thanks a lot for all of you!

  • What happen during shutdown oracle database

    Dear All,
    i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
    What happens during shutdown oracle database :
    and the suggested answer :
    1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
    2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
    3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
    please suggest the right answer .
    Regards

    Hi Anwar,
    When you close a database, Oracle writes all database data and recovery data in the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files, respectively. Next, Oracle closes all online datafiles and redo log files.
    When you terminate the instance of an open database/use abort command to close and completely shut down the database the writing of all data in the buffers of the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files is skipped. The subsequent reopening of the database requires recovery, which Oracle performs automatically.
    I hope this will help you out to understand the process.

  • Campus Tours sites of the day - how do they use Captivate?

    Hello,
    I'm new to Captivate and am still figuring out which situations it might be easier to use it rather than building something in Flash. I can see that quizzes, screen-casts and scenarios are obvious places. But I've also been looking at the first two 'Site of the Day' examples in the Adobe Captivate showcase (the campus tours of AI Philadelphia and Berklee College of Music) and I can't see how they would have used Captivate to produce them.
    The examples are both very nice promotional presentations about universities and they look great - nice internal popups with videos, images etc. I understand that you could build widgets to provide these kind of features but I don't understand what the benefit would then be of importing these in to Captivate rather than just building it in Flash.  Am I missing something obvious?  Do people use Captivate for storyboarding and then move into Flash?
    Any advise would be appreciated. I do love Captivate so far but am not sure how to put it to use most effectively.

    It depends how fancy you want to get.
    The easiest way to achieve this is to do as you currently have, but set the On Exit action for the final slide in each group to jump back to the Menu slide.
    In order to give the user the option of continuing on to the next slide, you can place a button on the final slide of each group and set it's action to jump to the first slide of the next group.  You need to set up some variables and Advanced Actions to show/hide this button depending on whether or not the user has clicked the button on the menu to view all slides.  If they've just clicked the button for a particular group, the Continue button remains hidden and they'll be jumped back to the menu.  The disadvantage of this method is that it requires the user to click something at the end of each group to continue to the next.
    If you want the user make their choice on the menu slide to play all sections one after the other, and then to be seamlessly taken to each new group without clicking anything, then you need to get slightly fancier with your Variables and Advanced Actions.  Basically, On Exit of the final slide in each group, instead of the action to jump back to the menu, you need to have it perform a check to see what the value of the variable is that determines whether to continue or not.  If the variable is 1 (to indicate continuous play), then it will jump to the beginning slide of the next group.  If the variable is 0, then it should jump back to the menu.
    If you're unfamiliar with Captivate Advanced Actions and user variables, this is your opportunity to learn!

  • Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

    Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying.  iPhone remote app works just fine.  Any suggestions?

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem.

    Ever since installing iCloud and Lion my computer is slow or freezes.  The color wheel comes on and My work stops.  I have only a small window of time where my computers will function normally during the day. I know many others that have the same problem. I'll get 20-30 minutes of work done and then a sync or something comes on, the color wheel of death shows up, and my productivity is shot.  I have to shut the computer down the hard way!  when it comes back up, it is still either frozen or slow.  I've checked in at the genius bar and all they say is that there have been some problems that Apple is trying to fix.  It effects Mail, Contacts, Safari, Calendar....yeah, pretty much everything.  My iPhone and iPad are not effected as much so I end up doing what I can with them.  I've seen the blogs out there and understand that many have the same problem.  I have been waiting to read about a fix but I have found nothing!  Any ideas?

    Not enough free space on the startup disk can slow the system down.
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure there's a minimum of 15% free disk space.
    For startup issues...  open System Preferences > Users & Groups - Login Items. Delete any apps listed there then restart your mac.
    And disable the Lion "resume" feature.
    Open System Preferences > General
    Deselect:   Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps
    And Spotlight may be indexing... you can turn that off > Turning Off Spotlight | Mac Tricks And Tips

    Subsequent startups on the same day proceed without interruption and without a problem report, until the first startup of the next day. I normally shut down the computer over night. The iMac operates normally after any of these startups, interrupted or not. Apple Hardware Test reports no problems.
    This behavior is annoying, but not very problematic so far. Does anyone have a likely explanation or suggested cure?

    Have you tried just sleeping it at night?
    It appears to be graphic card related.
    Have you blown the dust out lately?
    Thanks very much for answering.
    Sleeping the iMac at night would work, I'm sure, since it's only on a cold restart that the unplanned restart occurs. Not as satisfying as curing the issue, though.
    Apple Hardware Test reported nothing wrong with the graphic card, but the computer is not cold by the time the test is run, so I guess that could still be it.
    I'm sure there is dust inside after three + years. Apple didn't really want me to open up my iMac, but this Core 2 Duo model can be opened by lifting off the glass with suction cups, I believe. Maybe I will do that and dust, and see if that helps. There might even be something I can reseat.
    Also, I believe that on my next cold startup I will try single user mode and see if that prevents the restart.
    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Did a clean install but still find imac slows significantly as the day goes on. first projects go pretty well. later

    did a clean install but still find the imac slows as the hours pass. using photoshop cs5 and lightroom3,
    working w/some large files, but previously-like months ago, there was not this slowing problem. even
    the internet slows later in the day. and small moves in a program start to take forever. anyone experience this
    issue? or have any thoughts on it? thank you

    How much free space do you have on your drive?
    From the sounds of your problem is sounds like you are approaching a full disk.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • Two problems, disconnecting and extremely slow internet at a certain time of the day.

    My first problem started to occur since the beginning of this year, after I've upgraded from 1MB/s to 3MB/s. EVERYDAY at 2:39 PM EST or sometime around there, my internet would disconnect (most common at 2:39). It would take some 5-20 minutes to reconnect by itself. I go to 192.168.1.1 and go to broadband connection and press disconnect, then reconnect to get myself back on asap. It would take me a few tries disconnecting and connecting to get the internet back up. I probably do disconnect during other times of the day, such as night time but I don't notice it as much because I am not using the computer at the time.
    My second problem is slow download speed at night. As I said, I have a 3000/667 kb/s connection. My internet connection speed is normal during the day time .. but when I ran a speed test during night time, I get around 333 kb/s download and 600 kb/s upload. So, my download speed drops significantly at night and my upload speed is normal.
    I am using a D90-327W15-06 modem and I am not using a wireless connection.
    Margin (dB) 14.5 11.0
    Line Attenuation (dB) 40.0 23.0
    Transmit Power (dBm) 18.4 11.9
    Don't know if that information helps ..
    P.S Sorry if this is a lot to read, I wanted it to be as much detailed as possible.

    #1 Is wireless in the router enabled?
    #2 If so, to question number one above: What level of wireless security is it set to ( WEP / WPA )?
    #3 Did you try connecting your modem to the NID?
    If not, please do that - and recheck those stats.
    If you do not what a NID is, see http://www.dslreports.com/faq/1317

  • Network unusable during portions of the day

    The LTE coverage in my town was awesome when it was first introduced, but now it can slow to a halt many times during the day.  The XLTE didn't seem to help it at all.  It is completely frustrating to have data hang.  I've contacted technical support and it was acknowledged that there are usage spikes during the day which affect performance.  I was told there are no plans for improvement. 
    Is there any way to get the issue escalated?  What can be done?

    Here are some more speed tests from today and yesterday.

  • I 4 is hanging multiple times during the day. have reset, reinstalled IOS7, the prob persists. taken to the pphone to the service centre. they reset it too. the problem stands. whatr to do next???

    Hi Suzy Q,
    I can send and receive calls.
    I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
    Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid  on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
    When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
    It runs slow.
    I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a  lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
    I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
    When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
    I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
    The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
    I get a black screen on occasion.
    sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
    sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
    I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and
