Srini,
I am sure you have lots of users in Prod compared to QA :)
Anyway, the point is that you are suffering from hot block contention which
reflects itself in latch waits on 'cache buffer chain'. I remember that
Steve Adams has a SQL at his site that identifies blocks that are 'hot' - I
have used a modified version of that to identify objects that are hot. If I
know that there are corresponding Conc. Manager jobs that are accessing that
part of the Apps, then I know that this is due to contending reports.... I
have managed to reduce this by rebuilding stale indexes as heavy
inserts/updates/deletes also add to this. Short of re-scheduling jobs and
playing around with _DB_BLOCK_HASH_LATCHES, I don't see any solutions. Do
post us if you manage to reduce contention using the _ parameter as we have
a similar problem.
