[Orca-users] Snapshot 480

[Cockcroft, Adrian]

Attached is a conference presentation I wrote a few years ago on workload data and orca. I will update it soon to include the latest Orca workload code and displays, but it should be useful in explaining how the data can be used.

Dmitry,
This thread is fantastic and perfectly timed.
I am currently involved in a Performance Improvement project and one of
the problems in getting performance data has been getting data specific
to our applications and various Oracle instances.
I have quickly put together a new cfg file and restarted orcallator.se
with the WATCH_WORKLOAD parameter.
I have just plotted the data using Orca and it looks extremely useful.

I was wondering if you or anyone else had any more info about plotting
other data with regard to particular processes or Oracle instances e.g.
Memory used by process/instance.

Is anyone else using the WORKLOAD stuff and if so what kind of things
are you monitoring per process ?

Very many thanks.
Paul Porcelli

Adrian,

You have probably forgotten, but I have used your workload class as a
base for the workinfo class that now comes with orca and is integrated
into orcallator.se. Instructions are included in the workinfo_class.se
itself and I have also explained the usage of it several times on the
lists here, so it should be somewhere in the archives. All it takes now
to get that per process (group) data is setting a couple of variables
before starting orcallator.

Actually, here is the latest discussion of this with Justin Buhler -
