Prakash,

It's a pretty long story. Start by visiting

Prakash,

What my staff do as a matter of routine is the following:

1. Profile the response time of each of the business's most important =
=3D
=3D3D
user
actions.

2. Assess those response time profiles, searching for any wasted time =
=3D
=3D3D
that
can be removed inexpensively (typically by means other than hardware
upgrades).

3. If response time is still too large (that is, if performance is still
=3D3D
too
poor), then quantify the number of seconds that could be saved by =3D3D
upgrading
a hardware component.

4. If the projected benefit outweighs the projected cost, then move =
=3D3D
forward
with the upgrade. (Which in most cases, presumably, will involve a
pre-production testing phase.)

See pages 1-69 of "Optimizing Oracle Performance" for more details.

On Oracle we r using  Etravel application , all Users r complaining
that  application is very slow, so we did indexing ,still application is
very slow . Our application vender is saying that Oracle server is slow
and u need to upgrade the Hardware.
=3D3D20
Our management ask me the strong reason  to upgrade. =3D3D20
=3D3D20
Can anybody pls give me IDEA to check the performance of server and
produce any document on that to management
