Folks



During internal 2 Node RAC Benchmark OLTP Nature Transaction Runs,
following are the TOP Events from Statspack.



Qs 1) How can the "control file sequential read" wait be reduced after
identifying the respective "busy" Objects?

Qs 2) Should Transactions be grouped Logically so that Transactions Hit
different Data Blocks on the 2 Nodes?

From the Manual:-


control file sequential read


Reading from the controlfile. This happens in many cases. For example,
while:

*       making a backup of the controlfiles
*       sharing information (between instances) from the controlfile
*       reading other blocks from the controlfiles
*       reading the header block

Wait Time: The wait time is the elapsed time of the read.

Parameters:

file# 

The controlfile from which the session is reading. 

block# 

Block number in the controlfile from where the session starts to read.
The block size is the physical block size of the port (usually 512
bytes, some UNIX ports have 1 or 2 Kilobytes). 

blocks 

The number of blocks that the session is trying to read. 





Configuration
