Hello group, We are experiencing a high cpu usage on our instance wherein it is a single node with datafiles located remotely via NAS. Here is our server system specifications: CPU = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5420 @ 2.50GHz X4 MEMORY = 8 BG I observed that the instance is not taking much of memory but all cpu reached 100% and this becomes a headache because our instance are very slow at this point. I used the query "select COUNT(DISTINCT USER_ID) from ICX_SESSIONS where LAST_CONNECT > SYSDATE - 1/24 and USER_ID != '-1';" and it shows 36. At this point I will try to kill the processes that have its time 1hr or more and cpu usage that is greater than 70% in OS level. I don't feel comfortable doing this but it temporarily solve the issue. Is there a cpu per user count per report generation guide on this? Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sandeil
