Problem with netasst dbastudio
recently i posted mail here about problem installing oracle 8.1.7 on mandrake 9.0. well i managed to install it - it was a mising file when installing the glibs patch. now i have created a database, created listener, configured naming methods and everything. finally i imported a entire database from another server. the db is mounted and works fine. the problem now is i can't start netasst or dbastudio. everything else works - the dbaasst, workheet, netca etc. when i write in the console 'oemapp dbastudio' or 'netasst' it just holds on and nothing till i press Ctrl+C. i think there may be some problem with the JRE. i didn't manage to run the installer in the begining of the installation and i downloaded a JRE from IBM - it was theonly way it worked. may be now the problem is with the ibm's jre - i don't know. any sugestions?? -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Milen Pankov INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

Buffer_Pool KEEP
Title: Buffer_Pool KEEP Hi all, Is there any way / script to find whether the tables kept in KEEP Buffer pool performing fine i.e. do they really need to be in the KEEP buffer pool or should they be removed. Tables that I want to check are in the buffer pool for over 6 months and I want to know if I should let them be there or be removed from there. Regards, Hussain DBA SKMCHRC

I have a similiar problem with Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 under Linux (Debian, Woody, Kernel 2.4.20-686-smp). The installation worked fine - at least no error message was shown, but when I start the dbca to create a database, I get an ORA-03113. I've searched over the internet (newsgroups and webpages), but I didn't find a solution for my problem. I searched for the libc-patch, but I think it's deprecated for Oracle 9i. Many ppl said, like you, I just should generate the scripts with the wizard and create the database manually, so I did - or at least I tried. So, I just wanted to test, if the login works, but it didn't. Is startet sqlplus /nolog and tried connect SYS/change_on_install as SYSDBA (conn / as SYSDBA has the same effect, ORACLE_SID set as said in the script) and I get: Connected to an idle instance. Ok, I think this is just normal and I tried to start the database using startup nomount pfile=Correct path to init.ora; And then, all I get is an ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel If I try to do a conn / afterwards, I get ORA-01034: ORACLE not available ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory Any suggestions, what could be wrong?

Using the /*+ append */ insert hint
Hi all, In a discussion with an Oracle rep last week it was suggested we use the /*+ append */ insert hint to allow some inserts to use direct-path. The suggestion is interesting - the business logic won't have any problems with the limitations this implies. Has anyone had any experience with this hint? Specifically, does anyone know what would happen on Oracle 7.3.x or 8.0.x if I used this (assuming it's supported ... would it silently ignore the hint if not supported?)

Re: Using the /*+ append */ insert hint
I can't say in regards to 7.3.x or 8.0.x, but in an 8.1.7.4, I've traced a complete snapshot refresh and seen that Oracle is using an insert /*+ append */.

Use TRANSLATE to convert the characters you don't want to whitespace
and then use REPLACE to remove the whitespace.

Hi Everyone,
I have a common problem and whilst I can remember solving it in the past
I'm drawing a mental blank this time...
I need to look for duplicates in a varchar2 field in a table. However I
should ignore case, whitespace and non-alphanumeric characters. Obviously
upper, rtrim and ltrim get me a long way to the solution, but... What is
the easiest way to remove inline space, so that the cat equals thecat.
I thought I used the translate function, but a quick inspection didn't
reveal how.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

RE: Using the /*+ append */ insert hint
From experience, do not use the APPEND hint for singular inserts. You will get tons of wasted space. Only use it for bulk inserts such as INSERT INTO .. SELECT FROM, sqlldr, PL/SQL bulk inserts and the like. Converting from buld inserts without the append hint to bulk inserts with the append hint, I've seen as much as a 50% reduction in execution time. Adding the append hint to single-row inserts not only wastes space but generally slows things down.

RE: Sizing Indexes - URGENT
Jai I couldn't follow all the details of your calculation. I would have expected to see a calculation for the number of rows per block. Once you know how many rows you can pack into a block, then you can estimate the number of blocks you will need. Maybe you have it in there and I just couldn't see it this early on a Monday morning. As a sanity check, do the simple bytes/row * no. of rows and make sure you are reasonably close. Looking at the bigger picture, I wouldn't get too picky about this. Usually your number of rows is only a guess anyway. Spend your time looking at LMT and uniform extents. Oracle is trying to save us from time-consuming tasks like this. :-) Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Buffer_Pool KEEP
Hussain I wish there was. I hope someone will reply with a good method. First, add up all the blocks for the tables and their indexes you have assigned to the KEEP pool. Some of them may have grown over the past months and you may not have enough space allocated for all of them. Check the BHR for the KEEP pool to see what hit ratio you are getting. It should be 100%. Past that, you can consider the tables you have assigned to the KEEP pool and other small tables that you haven't assigned to the KEEP pool to decide if you have the best candidates assigned. You are looking for small tables that are accessed a lot. Based on your analysis and the available memory, you may decide to increase or reduce the size of the KEEP pool. Again, I really hope you (and I) receive a better reply. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: Autoallocate (was Re: LMT monitoring)
Alex If you do not specify the UNDO TABLESPACE when creating the database then AUTOEXTEND is set to ON. I was able to alter that to OFF. The point of the UNDO is that it is automatically managed by Oracle. If you can't cope with that, or you decide that doesn't work well for you, then you can revert to the old manual ROLLBACK segments. I think that few sites had their rollback segments properly configured, and Oracle has been criticized for requiring a lot of expert attention compared to other databases.

Re: Sizing Indexes - URGENT
Jai, The formula you are using is reasonably accurate, but not very useful. One of the main problems I have found with this approach is that the number of rows is not usually known. The business side and designers might have an idea of data sizes, but the reality is that most times they are not accurate. This makes a fine-grained sizing approach ultimately innacurate. Use locally managed tablespaces and create estimated sizes. Add in enough space for variances and keep an eye on them. When in doubt, err on the side of overallocation. -- Daniel W.

keep pool
Hi List , I have a 8.1.6 db running on hp-ux 2 cpu . currently it has default db block lru latches ( i guess this should be 1 since oracle sets it to cpu/2 ) . Now I want to configure keep pool .

Now my question is what should be a good value for db block lru latches and keep pool lru lactes . I have 5 blocks for db buffers (8K) in total , out of which i am initiallly planning to take 8000 for keep pool . what other consideration i should keep in mind before i set keep pool . -thanks ak
RE: Excessive SQL*Net message from client waits
Title: RE: Excessive SQL*Net message from client waits I recently worked on tracing and tuning a process where developer retrieved one row, did a bunch of pl/sql stuff and update ... lather, rinse and repeat. There were a lot of SQL*Net message from/to client. I finally opened up the procedure, found that 90% plus stuff, which was being done in pl/sql could be done in the main SQL (select statement) itself, we tested it and the developers is happy since then.

Re: Standby errors

You can still use the 8i client. You _should_ plan and start upgrading your clients to 9i.

RE: Using the /*+ append */ insert hint
The append hint works since Oracle 8 if my memory is good. I've used the append hint with tables in nologging mode to load a lot of data very fast. It works well. You must do a backup afterwards. If the hint is not supported, it should be ignored, like when you make a typo in the hint's name. Stephane -Original Message- Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 5:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, In a discussion with an Oracle rep last week it was suggested we use the /*+ append */ insert hint to allow some inserts to use direct-path. The suggestion is interesting - the business logic won't have any problems with the limitations this implies. Has anyone had any experience with this hint? Specifically, does anyone know what would happen on Oracle 7.3.x or 8.0.x if I used this (assuming it's supported ... would it silently ignore the hint if not supported?)

Re: log buffer space
I've just tried a different test, along the following lines, which seems to confirm that LGWR is triggered when the buffer is about 1/3 full. Set log_buffer to an easy number such as 600K. Create table with one column of a nice large size, e.g. varchar2(1000); Take snapshot of redo size, redo writes, redo wastage figures from v$sysstat. Insert N rows into table. Taks snapshot and find changes. Vary the number of rows inserted until M rows does not result in a redo write M+1 rows results in a redo write. Check the redo size for M and M+1 rows. Under both 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.2, I found that log writer seemed to be consistently triggered at a couple of KB below 1/3 of the log_buffer. (One oddity that caused me a little hassle with 9.2 at first was that I set the log buffer to 512K, but the actual log buffer size (per v$sga) was actually closer to 640K, so the trigger occurred at 212K when I was expecting it to be 170K.

Bear in mind that when you are talking about a load process, your client is another computer program, and should not (you hope) need any think time. This is the one case where the SQL*Net message from client is a threat rather than (as statspack puts it, I think) an idle event.

RE: Sizing Indexes - URGENT
The voice of reason! Thanks Dan. How many times have I been asked for an estimate of an index size (including every tiny overhead and spare byte) without knowing how many rows will be inserted. So they need an exact calculation based on a very rough estimate. As a result my calculation method has evolved into: - calculate the average index entry size. - multiply by the estimated number of rows. - factor in the PCTFREE setting. - add up to half as much again depending on the faith you have in the figures you've been given. Then use the time saved to get on with better value work. Your mileage may vary.

RE: Sizing Indexes - URGENT
Daniel - Excellently put. The other factor you can usually only estimate is the row size, until you get some test data. The old engineer in me says that if you can only guess at the row size and number of rows, then don't pretend the exact formula is going to do much for you. I started with a slide rule which was only accurate to 2-1/2 significant digits. When people started using calculators, they thought they had 10 significant digits. But if even one of your input variables is only accurate to 2 digits, then that is probably all the accuracy you're going to wind up with. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

RE: log buffer space
Jonathan: I have just sent a mail which has the test statistics. I would appreciate your comments on that.. Alternatively, people who are curious may want to test the log writer writing habits using the event 10046^8. KG Best Regards, K Gopalakrishnan -Original Message- Lewis Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 7:14 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I've just tried a different test, along the following lines, which seems to confirm that LGWR is triggered when the buffer is about 1/3 full. Set log_buffer to an easy number such as 600K. Create table with one column of a nice large size, e.g. varchar2(1000); Take snapshot of redo size, redo writes, redo wastage figures from v$sysstat. Insert N rows into table. Taks snapshot and find changes. Vary the number of rows inserted until M rows does not result in a redo write M+1 rows results in a redo write. Check the redo size for M and M+1 rows. Under both 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.2, I found that log writer seemed to be consistently triggered at a couple of KB below 1/3 of the log_buffer. (One oddity that caused me a little hassle with 9.2 at first was that I set the log buffer to 512K, but the actual log buffer size (per v$sga) was actually closer to 640K, so the trigger occurred at 212K when I was expecting it to be 170K.

Here is the Original Text. QUOTE Log Buffer The log buffer contains the information showing the changes that have been made to database buffer blocks.

You can use oradebug to trace the log writer process and do a CTAS of any big table (with a big log buffer) and you will be able to see the writes and number of blocks written in a single write.

Subject:Comparing strings whilst ignoring some characters
Hi Everyone,
I have a common problem and whilst I can remember solving it in the past
I'm drawing a mental blank this time...
I need to look for duplicates in a varchar2 field in a table. However I
should ignore case, whitespace and non-alphanumeric characters. Obviously
upper, rtrim and ltrim get me a long way to the solution, but... What is
the easiest way to remove inline space, so that the cat equals thecat.
I thought I used the translate function, but a quick inspection didn't
reveal how.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

RE: db file scattered read
Title: RE: db file scattered read it does not. Try it out. The blocks in a multi-block read have to be contiguous and Oracle can not guarantee that if the read would span an extent boundary. I suppose Oracle could check, but that would likely incur more overhead than you'd possibly save over issuing two scattered reads.

ORA-01578 data block corrupted on standby
Hi, all. I'm trying to manually create a standby database on Solaris 2.6 Oracle 8.0.5.2.1 The vendor for our application provided a script that uses the command alter index idx rebuild tablespace tblspace NOLOGGING; for all of their application indexes. When I test the standby (copy datafiles, copy and apply redo logs, bring up database) and execute a query, I get the error message ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 17, block # 150586) ORA-01110: data file 17: '/orastandby/u12/oradata/ent/adv_indexes01.dbf' Metalink doc 164836.1 says that this can be fixed by executing the command alter index idx logging; against all the indexes that were set nologging and rebuilding the standby. I tried this, and got the same corrupt block error message on my query. Here's the order of things: (1) alter indexes rebuild with nologging; (2) immediately after rebuild, alter index logging; (3) shut down database, cold backup to disk, rcp files to standby (database comes up without errors; redo logs are applied successfully. There are no errors in alert log) Analyzing the indexes without the nolog option increases the time considerably, and we have a short maintenance window. Any ideas? TIA! Barb __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If you can't cope with that, or you decide that doesn't work well for you, then you can revert to the old manual ROLLBACK segments.

Re: log buffer space
KG, I got the direct mail much quicker than the list mail - but I'll just echo the doubt I raised in the original. If you use 10046 level 8 to watch for log writer writes, I would expect you to see writes that could be of an almost arbitrary size. Assume a 3MB log buffer - we 'know' that Oracle triggers on 1MB: but what if the system is busy when a write is triggered and the users are generating lots of work ? LGWR writes 1MB - and in that time interval the users fill the other 2MB of the log buffer. The next write that LGWR does is 2MB. You could even argue that if the largest write you regularly see is 2/3 of the log buffer size, then the trigger is probably 1/3 of the log buffer size.

Oracle in the news
From the Robert X. Cringely column in InfoWorld: Oracle slammed and exposed Although Microsoft catches a lot of heat for using rival software within its own walls, it was discovered recently Oracle uses Microsoft's SQL Server database, among other things. That's right, and chief Larry Ellison was forced to suck it up and admit this, albeit internally, when Oracle was struck by the SQL Slammer virus. In a memo that I obtained on the down-low, Ellison wrote that Slammer slowed Oracle's global network. It seems we have a few copies of the Microsoft SQL Server database on our network, Larry wrote. We need the SQL Server machines to test the Oracle database and make certain it interoperates properly with the Microsoft database. However, we do not need to attach the Microsoft machines to our network and will not do so in the future. That is not all, though. A spy of mine was using the Oracle Development Tools User Group management facility to change his member-name password. All of a sudden he got an error regarding the Microsoft Jet database engine and some related difficulty. Shocked, he wired the user group administrative listserver and was told that the work is contracted out because retaining an Oracle-based shop for the management of the service would be prohibitively expensive. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: DENNIS WILLIAMS INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Standby errors
Actually, the command to force the switch is: alter system switch logfile; alter system archive log all; I did not set the script up, I just inherited it. THe thinking is, since a hot backup and log switch is going to be done anyway, why not ftp the archive logs after the switch, but as part of the same process. Unfortunately, we did not get the upgrade completed this weekend. The log files were the same size on the production database as on the standby (i.e. too small). We did another hot backup as soon as it was discovered, so that we would not be without a recoverable backup, but wanted to know what had caused the archive log process to create logs that it couldn't read. -Original Message- Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 3:05 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Why does the copying of archive logs to the standby have anything to do with a hot backup on the primary? They seem like unrelated events. The reason you are getting an incomplete log is that you are using 'alter system switch logfile'. This command returns before archival, so your copy can commence and finish before archival is complete. The correct command to use is 'alter system archive log current'. This command will not return until the current log is fully archived. Than your copy can proceed safely. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Fri, 14 Mar 2003, Ball, Terry wrote: Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 5.8. We have a read-only standby database for one of our production databases. Each night, the standby is shutdown and the previous days archive logs from production are applied. Then the database is brought backup in read-only mode. To get the archive logs, a hot backup is done on the production database. As the last step is the hot backup, a log switch is done and then the archive logs are ftp'd to the server where the standby is. After the hot backup completed yesterday, the log switch occurred, and the logs sent, but when an attempt was made to apply the archive logs we got an error: ORA-00332: archived log is too small - may be incompletely archived ORA-00334: archived log: '/orabackup/archive/TBSPRD/arch1352.arc' ORA-332 signalled during: ALTER DATABASE RECOVER In looking at the archive log, both on the production and standby servers, they are the same size - 16k (the block size for the db is 8k). The next log is 8k in size and then there is another that is 16k before we see any that are normal sized. These would have been the first logs _after_ the hot backup the night before. In the alert log for the production db, it appears the log 1353 was archived _before_ 1352. Has anyone seen this behavior before? Does anybody have any idea why it happened in the first place? Is there something we can do to make sure it never happens again? P.S.

RE: optimizer_mode=FIRST_ROWS
Karen, Are you on version 8? I imagine so given the problem you are seeing. By using FIRST_ROWS you are forcing the optimizer to use CBO even when there are no statistics. Most likely you have no stats on your sys objects (and this is a good thing) and thus the execution plan the CBO is providing will be a bad one. There a few options: rewrite the query - as you have done hint the query with specific hints to cause the correct execution path For DBA queries like this, the easiest may be to hint to use RULE base optimisation- eg select /*+RULE*/ Some notes suggested by Anita Bardeen when I posted on a similar topic in Nov 2001. Note: 35272.1 Is ANALYZE on the Data Dictionary Supported (TABLES OWNED BY SYS)? Note: 35934.1 TECH: Cost Based Optimizer - Common Misconceptions and Issues Note: 66484.1 Which Optimizer is used Some other points I have found: In first_rows mode you will encounter some very bad queries against the data dictionary. An example of 1 which has been fixed by Oracle is catblock.sql - there is an updated version available on Metalink - see note 122567.1 titled Poor Performance in Query onDBA_WAITERS Whilst searching for the notes suggested by Anita, I came across a good forum discussion (see http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=FORp_id=279251.999 ) This describes how the ODBC driver 8.1.7.4 has been fixed / improved to use rule hints when accessing the data dictionary. Before this if you used the Oracle ODBC driver and were in first_rows mode we had to wait 5 - 10 minutes just to link a table in Access HTH, Bruce Reardon -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, 18 March 2003 7:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L All, I've run into the following queries hanging when ran on a database with the optimizer_mode set to FIRST_ROWS.

RE: optimizer_mode=FIRST_ROWS
Karen It sounds as if these queries don't work well with the optimizer goal set to FIRST_ROWS. Essentially you are forcing the optimizer goal. Is there a particular reason you have FIRST_ROWS in your init.ora as your optimizer goal? My guess is that when you allow the optimizer to CHOOSE, it switches to ALL for these queries. Why not set the init.ora to CHOOSE? If that won't work for you, you could add the ALL_ROWS hint to these queries. Dennis Williams DBA, 40%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc.

The hint can be very useful, but it works best with unindexed tables (that are set to NOLOGGING). If tables are indexed, then you still might get some benefit but the gains are not as dramatic. Of course, anything in NOLOGGING mode often requires a rethink of your backup strategy. hth connor Thanks Connor (and Darrell in the previous post).

RE: optimizer_mode=FIRST_ROWS
Thanks Bruce Dennis for your replies. The init.ora is set to FIRST_ROWS because statistics are always current for the application tables and testing showed that the plans generated in that optimizer mode offered better overall response times than with CHOOSE. I think the idea about hinting the sys views will likely fix the problems although we wanted to avoid hints if possible and just re-write the queries. I just couldn't figure out a way to re-write the one query for dba_indexes that made it any better.. Thanks, Karen -Original Message- Bruce (CALBBAY) Sent: Monday, March 17, 2003 4:19 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Karen, Are you on version 8? I imagine so given the problem you are seeing. By using FIRST_ROWS you are forcing the optimizer to use CBO even when there are no statistics. Most likely you have no stats on your sys objects (and this is a good thing) and thus the execution plan the CBO is providing will be a bad one. There a few options: rewrite the query - as you have done hint the query with specific hints to cause the correct execution path For DBA queries like this, the easiest may be to hint to use RULE base optimisation- eg select /*+RULE*/ Some notes suggested by Anita Bardeen when I posted on a similar topic in Nov 2001. Note: 35272.1 Is ANALYZE on the Data Dictionary Supported (TABLES OWNED BY SYS)? Note: 35934.1 TECH: Cost Based Optimizer - Common Misconceptions and Issues Note: 66484.1 Which Optimizer is used Some other points I have found: In first_rows mode you will encounter some very bad queries against the data dictionary. An example of 1 which has been fixed by Oracle is catblock.sql - there is an updated version available on Metalink - see note 122567.1 titled Poor Performance in Query onDBA_WAITERS Whilst searching for the notes suggested by Anita, I came across a good forum discussion (see http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_datab ase_id=FORp_id=279251.999 ) This describes how the ODBC driver 8.1.7.4 has been fixed / improved to use rule hints when accessing the data dictionary. Before this if you used the Oracle ODBC driver and were in first_rows mode we had to wait 5 - 10 minutes just to link a table in Access HTH, Bruce Reardon -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, 18 March 2003 7:39 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L All, I've run into the following queries hanging when ran on a database with the optimizer_mode set to FIRST_ROWS. If the optimizer_mode is CHOOSE, no problems. When set to FIRST_ROWS both queries show never-ending wait events for direct path read. I killed the sessions before they finished after waiting for almost an hour for the queries to complete. I re-wrote the 1st query against dba_tables to use EXISTS (also shown below) and that seemed to work fine. But I'm not sure why or how to re-write the 2nd query to also be able to workI've tried a couple of things with no luck. Any ideas?

DB crashed with ORA-4030 on DBW0 process
Our database crashed over the weekend with the following lines from the trace. ORA-00449: background process 'DBW0' unexpectedly terminated with error 4030 ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate bytes (,) ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 8512 bytes (pga heap,ksm stack) The statement was insert into /BIC/EZPCA_C03 ... select ... from ... the table /BIC/EZPCA_C03 has 73 partitions and 13 bitmap indexes. I found this on metalink (bug 1428288) and it looks like it abended due to a combination of large sort_area_size, DML against a partitioned table with abnormally high number of bitmap indexes on it. Oracle will defer index maintenance, for bitmap indexes, until the dml operation is complete. It buffers the index entries in the session's PGA memory and the formula for memory usage is sort_area_size x #of indexes x #of partitions. According to that, then I need 19,901,972,480 bytes for the job to run. ( 20 meg (sort_area_size * 73 partitions * 13 bitmap indexes) . I'm sure I missed something. This formula won't be used for insert into.. values ( ), but will for insert into ... select * from Is this correct? Any other conditions that would cause this formula to be used.

Inband and Outband Net8 question
Hi all, I have question about Inband break, please help me understand this Oracle said: There are 2 types of breaks: - Inband breaks: are transmitted as part of regular data traffic using the normal protocol read and write functions. These breaks are symply queued. - Outband breaks: are faster as it is send during urgent data messages. These messages cause signals and take a lot of load of the server. These are my questions: What is the purpose of Inband break? when we use it during our day to day activities? is this break trigger automatically (something like end of some activity)?
