Hello,
We have a query as part of our daily ETL coming from OBIEE (Informatica)
that pulls from 10 E-Business Suite tables as it's source. Monday -
Saturday the query executes at what we deem as an acceptable time. Lately
we've noticed that on Sundays the execution time degrades significantly.
The query is using hard coded values (no bind variables) for the last
update date so it knows where to start from on each subsequent run. Since
the hard coded values are generating unique SQL IDs it's making it
difficult to implement something like a SQL Profile. Since this is EBS,
cursor sharing has to be kept at a value of EXACT and we also can't use SQL
Plan Baselines. Our BI analyst is looking into if there is a way to pass
bind variables. In the meantime I'm trying to determine what else we can
do. Our EBS database version is 11.2.0.3.
Additional Info:
We run the EBS Gather Schema Statistics weekly starting on Fridays on all
schemas/tables at 100% sample size and also use the option "Invalidate
Dependent Cursors". My assumption at this point is that this cursor
invalidation is occurring on Saturday for the tables involved and by the
time the ETL query kicks off again on early Sunday it is being impacted by
this.
Monday - Saturday: SQL IDs are different but the SQL Plan Hash Values are
the same.
Sundays: SQL IDs are different but the SQL Plan Hash Value (i.e the "bad"
plan) is different than Monday - Saturday but consistently the same as
other Sundays!
I'm still collecting some additional information but thought I would get
this on the list to see if any one has any additional thoughts or advice.
Thanks!
Alfredo
