Thanks for the quick respsonse
It indeed seems to be that "no work rollback" type of thing:
Total per Second per Trans
rollback changes - undo records applied 6 0.00 0.00
transaction rollbacks 3 0.00 0.00
user rollbacks 23,511 6.52 0.98
I already requested to get the configuration of the connection pools to find out
if e.g. a "validation query" or something like that is configured to be a
ROLLBACK
statement.
So, seeing the low number of "rollback changes", I assume the bottomline is
that I don't need to worry and concentrate on the other bottlenecks that we
have already identified.
