I'm in the process of troubleshooting a recent performance issue (currently bypassed), which occurred as a result of a database server becoming overloaded from a CPU perspective. At this point we've identified a number of OS dedicated server processes which seem to have been driving excessive load, via the OSWatcher data, and we also have a number of suspect database sessions identified via ASH. So my question is this... is there a way to tie the 2 sources together? It doesn't appear that the necessary [g]v$process information is captured by ASH, so I suspect this isn't possible, but it's certainly possible that I've missed a necessary detail. The database in question is 11.2.0.3.8 64-bit, running on a Solaris 10 SPARC 64-bit server. Thanx! -- "I'm too sexy for my code." -Awk Sed Fred
