-- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis -- Sami Processes are not currently waiting, when you ran this SQL. Please see the state : waited short time.. Only if the state is WAITING, then the sessions are actually waiting for that specific event. This is the same reason why x$kgllk and systemstate did not give you any information. You can also see the systemstate tells 'last wait for library cache lock'. If the sessions are waiting, then you will see lines like 'waiting for library cache lock..' etc. You need to run these statements, while the sessions are truly WAITING.

But I couldn't find any. The sql you gave me {select ses.sid, ses.serial#,lck.* from x$kgllk lck , v$session ses where kgllkhdl in (select kgllkhdl from x$kgllk where kgllkreq >0) and lck.KGLLKUSE = ses.saddr Order by lck.KGLNAOBJ} also returned no rows. I have 5 such session waiting for 'library cache lock'. All of them are in similar situation. Could someone through some light on this.

Following SQL will give you a map of sessions waiting and holding library cache locks. -- Attached file included as plaintext by Ecartis -- -- Desc: Signature The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
