What does the event "virtual circuit wait" mean?

Hi all !
Can anyone tell me about this event? Yesterday I checked my ASH table and found that most of the time database spends on are 2 "non-idle" events: "db file sequential read" and "virtual circuit wait". I did not find any information about the second event on Metalink or in Documentation. Do i need to pay my attention to this event? DB is 11g on HP-UX.
Thanks in advance!

The Oracle Reference has descriptions of wait events:
[Virtual Circuit Wait|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10820/waitevents003.htm#BABBCJEF]
The session waits for a virtual circuit operation to complete.Wait Time: 30 seconds
Parameter      Description
circuit#      Indicates the virtual circuit# being waited on
type      Indicates the type of operation the session is waiting for

  • Wait event "virtual circuit wait" in wait class "Network" was consuming sig

    Hello,
    We are facing this problem when there are 2 queries try to run at the same time.
    The first query takes longer to finish so 2nd has to wait for 1st to be finished and then only 2nd starts. It seems the jam is at netowork instead of server.
    I want to make sure before I start testing on network.
    I get following :
    Wait event "virtual circuit wait" in wait class "Network" was consuming significant database time. 98.4
    Wait class "Network" was consuming significant database time.
    and recommendations is stated as :
    Investigate the cause for high "virtual circuit wait" waits with P1 ("circuit#") value "21" and P2 ("type") value "2".
    I am checking OEM.
    Thanks,
    Shashi.

    Hello Sybrand,
    Can you suggest some changes to be done to test ?
    Here is my shared server config :
    SQL> show parameter SHARED

    max_shared_servers integer
    shared_memory_address integer 0
    shared_pool_reserved_size big integer 135895449
    shared_pool_size big integer 0
    shared_server_sessions integer
    shared_servers integer 1
    Thanks,

    Your favour'll be deeply appreciated.

    This returns a non-square result set. Each row of the result is a deptno and then a result set of the enames in that deptno.
    This can be useful when you need to send a lot of data to a client application in a single query that would otherwise contain a lot of redundancy. It tends to be a relatively unusual construct (I've only found one situation where it was appropriate in my career) and requires some relatively sophisticated understanding on both the database and client sides.

  • What does the PRIN setting in MAX mean for my Dalsa CL-C8-6000A Camera?

    I am using PCI-1424 with Dalsa CL-C8-6000A Camera. The
    integration setting in MAX allows me to set the integration time using PRIN. But what does the number mean? How do you I convert it to time units (seconds,say)?

    Dalsa uses the PRIN line to control its integration time based on the pixel clock of the camera. So to convert PRIN to time units, you first need to do know the frame rate you will be working at. This will allow you to then calculate the pixel clock and thusly the amount of time for say 1000 pixel clocks.
    One consequence of this is that as you change your frame rate, your integration time will also change (since your pixel clock is now faster or slower).

  • What does the icon on my battery mean?

    hello nokia lebanon what does the exclamation mark (?) shown at the battery icon means ?
    Moderator's note: The title was edited. A better subject was provided.

    Hi NicolasMansour,
    What's your phone's model? If this is for a Windows phone, can you verify if this  is the icon that you're seeing? If yes, that means the battery power or state of the battery isn't known at the current time. See: What do the icons on my phone mean? If you're referring to a different phone or a different icon, would you mind telling us its model and sending us a screenshot so we can further check?
    We look forward to your reply. BTW, congratulations on your first post.

  • What does the "Local Area Connection* 12" mean?

    using the commands below(win 8.1 professional):
    netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode = allow ssid=myWifiName key=myWifiPwd
    netsh wlan start hostednetwork
    In Windows 7, the commands will generate "Wireless Network Connection 2"(I think the reason is that there already exists a connection called WLAN. So it starts from number 2).
    In Windows 8.1, the commands will generate "Local Area Connection* 12"(I could not figure out the reason why the number is 12 and what the asterisk means???).
    I could not stop myself from thinking why the number starts from 12 and what the asterisk means? I could not get useful info from google. So I registered an account. Could you help me please ? thanks.

    Windows makes several "simulated" network adapters for various purposes. For example, if you're on an IPv4-only network, but you want to connect to an IPv6 computer on the internet, Windows can create a simulated network adapter that tunnels the IPv6 traffic
    through your IPv4 network.
    There are actually quite a few of these simulated network adapters.  Since they usually quietly take care of themselves, and they don't correspond to any actual network hardware that you (the end-user) can see or touch, Windows will hide them by default,
    to avoid clutter.
    Now suppose Windows just started numbering all the adapters with the same naming scheme ("Ethernet 1", "Ethernet 2", "Ethernet 3", . . ., etc.).  Then by the time you actually install your actual NIC, it would probably get a name like "Ethernet 7". 
    But since Windows hides the first 6 network interfaces, you'd see a listing that only includes one NIC: "Ethernet 7".  And you'd probably say "stupid Windows doesn't know how to count."
    So instead, we have two numbering schemes.  Real, physical NICs get numbered "Ethernet ###" (or "Wi-Fi ###", etc.) while all the hidden network adapters get "Local Area Connection* ###".  That way, the NICs that you see will be numbered
    starting from 1, even though there are a big pile of hidden network interfaces that were installed first.
    What does the asterisk mean?  The asterisk used to be the signal that the NIC was a hidden NIC.  Older versions of Windows named all visible NICs "Local Area Connection ###", and hidden ones were distinguished by adding an extra asterisk. 
    These days, we try to avoid using nerdy jargon like "Local Area Connection" when talking to you, so we changed the naming pattern to "Ethernet".  But since hidden NICs don't matter, we kept their old naming pattern with the asterisk.
    If you're curious, you can see all the network interfaces on your system with this PowerShell command:
    Get-NetAdapter -IncludeHidden
    (I'm the engineer that invented and implemented Windows's current NIC naming policies.)

  • What does the padlock on I-Tunes mean?

    I just bought my Nano today and having troubles. I hooked it up and it automatically downloaded my songs on it. But now it's got a padlock at the bottom of screen by the bar that shows how much memory is used and what's left on my I-Pod and the list of songs are not black for me to click and move. What does the padlock mean?
    thanks
    Chris
    Nano    

    The padlock icon indicates that you have the iPod set to auto transfer. That's also why the songs are 'greyed out' and not selectable or editable.
    If you want to change this, you'll have to select manual transfer instead.
