    Statpack help

    Morning everbody, I hope everyone is having a great day so far..if not we now have the weekend...


    Ill to the point, im running statspack to produce a report and have a few questions that dont seem to be answered by the help files

    1) if I want to run the statspack on 30 second intervals, how would i do that. I know how to shell script and can automate this with crontab but is there a way to do it within Oracle, maybe change a parameter somewhere??.

    2) when you run a standard statpack report at the bottom are some values that i dont understand namely something called 'Hash Values' and some associated values like buffets gets, executions, there seems to be some sql code that is kicked out with these values..does anyone know what this is??..


    3) finally if i want to produce only the top part of the report, what level would i set??, where would i set that level? (is it a table or parameter).

    I thank anyone in advance for any help that they can offer.

    30 seconds it way too frequent IMO as it can take upto that just to run and there is a bit on the database while it runs.

    IMO = in my opinion, 15 minute intervals are roughly what you should be looking for if you are tuning something.

    What are you trying to get from it, there may be a better way

    Define what you mean by the top part of the report?

    The SQL Code you are seeing is probably the TOP SQL part of the report, statspack lists the most resource consuming sql statements in the database (ordered by buffer gets, executions) each sql statement is given a unique hash value so thats what that is

    Also, how would i set it then to take a snap every 15 minutes over 3 hours within oracle?

    One more thing,

    My performance guy is wanting metric measurements every 30 seconds, I have been told already by mrchrispy that running statspac every 30 seconds is not useful.

    Is there anything else i can run that will give me metric measurements every 30 seconds that would be useful to my performance manager??

    Cheers people.

    Who is this performance guy? If he were any good, he'd know what he wanted and how to get it.

    Perhaps you can keep him quiet with the pretty pictures from the diagnostics in OEM?

    LOL...that just what we've done while we take the time to go over statspack reports.
