Thanks for the info.
Too bad you can't get some metrics to show what was happening.
Yes, user satisfaction is the ultimate indicator of tuning success, but there are also metrics to back it up, they just need to be collected before and after.
Thanks,
Jared

Subject: RE: re Rebuilding Indexes in Oracle Apps -- was RE: RE: Separate
Jared,
Unfortunately at this stage I cannot quantify in numbers as I have left that job 5 months back. But dealing with Oracle Financials 10.7 with version 7.3.4, I observed it practically that this table and it is indexes (i think 4 or 5 indexes) require special attention for performance reasons.
At my last employment that table was also used by customized application specially Manufactruring and stock locator application and heavy usage of inserts and deletes. If indexes were not rebuilt on that tablespace then I
have seen that users were complaining about slowness of thier jobs. So I made it a maintenance routine to rebuild indexes on gl_interface table after monthly closing.
Apart from this, as you cannot change code in Oracle Financials(although I
did) , you to deal with indexes either through rebuilding them at regular intervals (may be six moths or a year) or adding new indexes based on your
observation of certain codes. One monthly job called ACCRUAL REBUILD RECONCILIATION was passing 36 hours and I have to add 6 indexes on 2 tables and time went down to 1 hour. In certain codes they were suppresing indexes(perfectly indexed columns) resulting 15 mintues to fetch rows and after correcting that code it took less than second.
Now another database of Order Entry System. When I joined I observed a lot
of performance issues. After consulting with Development team,tracked all those tables with lot of regular deletes and inserts, rebuilt all indexes and got back 5GB of tablespace and performance was at their peak.
All those application was based on RULE optimizer so we were not analyzing
any table/indexes but based on experience with those applications, I was tracking those tables with large deletes and inserts through application(not data load) and rebuilding indexes with regular interval to keep smooth performance.
In my opinion, we always need performance satisfaction of end user instead
of numbers.
If you have any specific question, please let me know.
Regards Rafiq

The 'better performance' part is what I would like to see some metrics on.
How much better? Is it worth the trouble?
If your indexes continually build up to the same size, what is being gained by saving some space for a period of time?
Thanks,
Jared
