Hi , I am using Release 11.2.0.3.0 of oracle.

I am new to this prod environment, i was extracting the AAS(average active sessions data) for this(by combining dba_hist_snapshot,dba_hist_system_event) , to have idea regarding the daily activity. Also its matching with OEM data too.


My question is ,during revisting the past data, during the business hour, mostly i am getting AAS < 40, but at some point in time i am gettinng the value too large i.e. to the order ~4882550, and at this point, i found , almost 100% of the DB time has been spent in 'DB CPU' only, which is good.


But what i have read that , if the the no of AAS will be >= the no of CPU count, then it might be the sign of coming performace issue, and need to be taken into analysis. So just want expert advice on this existing stats and its actual interpretation, if its really alarming or i am interpreting in wrong way?


below are few information about database:
Its a two node RAC DB having cpu_count value as 42 each. Also i am seeing 1hr difference between each of the snap stored in dba_hist_snapshot.


below is the part of the query which i am using, for deriving AAS data. and considering, only those specific to stats 'DB TIME'

         bet,

Can you explain what it is that you need that you cannot find in the pre-programmed ASH and AWR reports? It would take forever to work out what your code is trying to do, so it will be easier if you explain. And also, from where did you get that query? The author may have documented it.

Also an AAS of ~4882550 would indicate the calculation has gone wrong somewhere.

Thank you all. The first 'Select' query(for UNION clause) will give the total 'DB TIME' value for the snapid from 'dba_hist_sys_time_model' and the second 'Select' query(for UNION clause) will give the 'DB CPU' value for the same snapid and the third 'Select' will give the total time for the same snapid for all the 'wait classes'. So basically DB time='db cpu'+'all the time spent in different wait classes'.

aas(average active session) = db time/clocktime.

Hope its clear.

Attached is the screenshot of the past(7 days) active session history from OEM, and it matches with the query results.
