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? Top 5 Timed Events Avg %Total ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ wait Call Event Waits Time (s) (ms) Time ----------------------------------------- ------------ ----------- ------ ------ CPU time 12 43.6 control file sequential read 21,969 7 0 25.4 reliable message 35 4 113 14.1 db file parallel write 2,486 1 1 5.2 row cache lock 154 1 4 2.2 ------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
