Hello list, I have a two node 10.1.0.5 RAC setup serv1 - instance 1 serv2 - instance 2 We are using parallel query for batch processing. The time to complete batch is ok when we run in a non clustered environment (that's what we have in dev and integrated testing) but when we move the batch to a clustered testing environment similar to prod everything takes 2 or 3 times longer. I have noticed that some of the slave processes go to instance 1 and some of them go to instance 2. I would like to confine the parallel slaves to one instance but I don't fully understand how to setup the instance_groups and parallel_instance_groups to achieve this. Could anyone help me please? Thanks in advance. -- Regards GBA
