Sandra,
What information are you trying to track in AWR report? What metrics do
you use or does your management use to evaluate performance? Performance can
be evaluated many different ways with AWR but the biggest issue is that AWR
report just averages out the metrics in the report period, which by default
is an hour. Running AWR faster than once an hour was deemed too resource
intensive to release as the default.
I find it much easier to use ASH for performance reporting. ASH tracks
the load in the database and can be rolled up in an aggregated metric called
Average Active Sessions (AAS). AAS can be broken down into it's components
such as CPU demand, IO wait time or other wait times such as application
(locking) , configuration (that kind of stuff the DBA is responsible for) or
concurrency bottlenecks to easily see not only what the load was but what
kind of load was on the database.
ASH and AAS can most easily seen in OEM's performance page. The
performance page works best for viewing the current activity including the
last hour as well but can be difficult to use for viewing a time frame
over the past day or week. For that reason I've been working on DB
Optimizer<http://sites.google.com/site/embtdbo/wait-event-documentation/database-tuning>
as well has putting together some SQL
scripts<http://sites.google.com/site/embtdbo/wait-event-documentation/ash---active-session-history#TOC-Data-Mining-Scripts>to
help quickly browse the ASH data and see any periods that might have
had
issues.
Best Wishes
