"send blocked" is listed in the 9i documentation as an idle wait event. I understand from the post that the producers are too quick for the consumer. What exactly are these producers and what exactly is the consumer.

If someone else can help clarify this I would find it helpful too. >From Jonathan Lewis in a Metalink discussion. "The most useful giveaway is often the 'send blocked' wait - this indicates a degree of contention as multiple producers all want to feed a given consumer at the same time. " and from Anjo's wait event paper: Event Name P1 P2 P3 parallel query dequeue wait queue/reason sleeptime passes 2.75 parallel query dequeue wait The process is waiting for a message during a parallel execute Wait time The wait time depends on how quickly the message arrives. So wait times may vary, but it will normally be a short period of time. Parameters queue/reason Before 7.2, it was queue which indicated the process queue to dequeue. With 7.2 and higher it shows the reason for dequeueing. Check the fixed table x$kxfpsds for the current list of reasons for your release. sleeptime/senderid If sleeptime greater than 0x10000000, the lower sixteen bits indicate the slave number number on the remote instance indicated by the higher sixteen bits of the first 32 bits.

The default is 100 msec if there are no credits and 2000 msec if there are. You can specificy the init.ora _parallel_server_sleep_time twice in your init.ora file. The first entry will set the sleep time for if there are credits. The second entry will set the sleep time for if there are no credits. saved from a Metalink forum at 1 stage.

Reem Munakash Enterprise Server Analyst " -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, 17 May 2002 10:53 Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with an elusive wait event called 'PX Deq: Execution Msg'. As you can see from the statspack "Top 5 Wait Events" this event accounts for almost 75% of the wait time. I have been looking in past Oracle-L posts, Google, Oracle FAQ, OTN, Metalink, Oracle manuals, etc. I can find almost nothing about this event. What I did find leads me to believe may be an idle event and that it is the second event 'PX Deq Credit: send blkd' that may be the more troublesome one. However I am still confused about both. Can someone help set me straight or tell me where there might be some more information about these 2 events?
