Harvey, Personally, I would go right to the user(s) who has complained about the slowdown and have them run the application at the peak hour/period where things seem very slow. Set a 10046 event level 8 trace on that session(s) after they log on and then take a look at the trace file in the udump

After I posted this, I thought I should elaborate: This seems to work sometimes; but we also had some problems with it and opened a TAR. We were told there is an unspecified bug associated with it. I guess the conclusion is: Try it. Maybe it will work; maybe not. > -Original Message- >

Jonathan, I think you've got a point on all three counts. I am seeing an imbalance of gets / misses and sleeps on one of the latch children, and it does get worse when the CPU's are being hammered. Public synonyms could be an issue in certain areas of the application but not all, though that shou

The 'objects on hot latches' is likely to help only if there is a significant imbalance in the latch activity on the latch children (as you probably know). The fact that 'waits holding' is rather high may be a hint. The most likely latches that you would be holding whilst waiting for the library

Neil, Does this application use a lot of literal SQL? Do the users tend to use the same Appl processes during the peak times? And do they really complain about poor performance during the peak times? The contention could be due to the excessive parsing. Since you are noticing this at al

I've got access to Metalink and the doco you mentioned, but its too generic. Its a forms application, but the developers are generating dynamic where clauses on blocks, as well as the standard block.item notation in predicates, so there is a degree of literal SQL in the mix, and multiple versions

Excessive library cache latch contention

2003-01-31 Thread Harvey Neil
We've got about 30 sites all running the same application, and I'm consistently seeing large numbers of 106 (library cache) latch free waits. They tend to happen at peak times during the day, and in the worst case I saw 12 sessions all on a 106 latch free wait event, spread across 3 P1RAW addresses
