Hi,

please look down in report - all events are listed in next sections (Wait 
Events, Background Wait Events) .
Top 5  includes also CPU, ist is only for the first glance. You should examine 
all significant events.


Best Regards,
Petr

Betreff: Top 5 Timed Events - % Total Call Time does not add upto to 100%

Hi All,
A bit of a conceptual question here - wondering if there is an answer to this 
based on the following:
I've seen a number of awr reports where in the Top 5 Timed Events Section (10g) 
the column for % Total Call Time does not add up to 100%. So if I total the 
contribution of all 5 events I may get a a total of 60%. Now I wonder what 
where does that other 40% go to and if its of any significance?

a) Is it possible that the remaining 40% is related to idle events (sql*net 
message from/to client) and therefore does not show up in this table?
b) Could it be that the remaining 40% is distributed among various non idle 
events, that when summed up translate to the missing 40%, but that individually 
they do not factor into the top 5 list? Hence are not factors contributing 
towards the performance issue or not dominant enough events?
c) The table only shows the top 5 - so it would not necessarily have to add up 
to 100 - it would just show the dominant events and there overall impact - most 
likely the missing remaining percentage (40% in this case) is of no consqeuence 
to performance

Appreciate any thoughts.Thanks
