Hi all, > Do you have a sample of a report that you generate, > that you could pass along ? Better still - Let me post the script I use (attached). A little bit about this script: I originally wrote the framework of this script for STATSPACK. The idea was to use the Analytic function LAG to get the right snap id (the script caters for Db restarts in between), and use that to drive whatever SQL cursor is required to get the right rows from the DBA_HIST_% tables (or the STATS$_ tables) as the case may be. One version generates the Top 5 Timed Event, another variation trends Wait events and Sysstats, etc. This specific one uses DBA_HIST_SYSSTAT and DBA_HIST_DLM_MISC to extract not just the Estimated Interconnect Traffic but the CR/CURR messages and block stats that are used to derive this value. Karl: I believe this script will show you what you are looking for. And as I said before, STATSPACK pretty much exposes the underlying views and logic.....
