>Neither event discourages me from the activity in question After that I found ASH, AWR, all kinds of snappers of v$(session, events, waits, sql, sqlarea, sqlplan_statistics_all ) less intrusive (i.e. more credible) and even more usable actually, specially in today's pooled sessions environment. Oracle improved quite a lot by adding service, user, module/action, plsql object columns into AWR and v$-views (even those not under additional license) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Tim Gorman <tim@xxxxxxxxx> To 2010.10.14 17:06 Laimutis.Nedzinskas@xxxxxx cc ORACLE-L <oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Please respond to Subject tim@xxxxxxxxx Re: RMAN catalog operations taking 128 seconds per file - where is the bottleneck (and no guessing) That happened to me once, too. I was also knocked out cold in bed once. Neither event discourages me from the activity in question, just makes me a little more aware...
