krsv_proc_kill: Killing processes (Process by index) message in the alert log

Some times we'll get the following warning messages in the alert log of the database continuously.

Alert log message:
==============
WARN: ARC2: Terminating ARCH (pid 10111) hung on a disk operation

Do not panic when you see the above message. As long as there are no other side-effects this error can be ignored. It occurs when disk IO & CPU load are high in the server. Normally we are getting this warning messages when ever backup runs since disk io will be very high during the backup.

During high disk IO & cpu load, db is also trying to archiving the file on disk, But unable to succeed the process due to above said reasons. So it is deleting the incomplete archive log from the disk automatically.

Export and import multiple schema using expdp/impdp (Data Pump utility)

Use the below sql query to export and import multiple schema: expdp schemas=schema1,schema2,schema3 directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=schemas120514bkp.dmp exclude=statistics logfile=expdpschemas120514.log impdp schemas=schema1,schema2,schema3 directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=schemas120514bkp.dmp logfile=impdpschemas120514.log sql query to export and import a schema: expdp schemas=schema directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=schema120514bkp.dmp exclude=statistics logfile=expdpschema120514.log impdp schemas=schema directory=DATA_PUMP_DIR dumpfile=schema120514bkp.dmp logfile=expdpschema120514.log Parameter STATISTICS=NONE can either be used in export or import. No need to use the parameter in both. To export meta data only to get ddl of the schemas: expdp schemas=schema1,schema2,schema3 directory=TEST_DIR dumpfile=content.dat content=METADATA_ONLY exclude=statistics To get the DDL in a text file: impdp directory=TEST_DIR sqlfile=sql.dat logfile=sql.log dumpfil...

Pinning execution plan for a sql_id using 'SQL Profile' to consistently reproduce a good plan

Deal all, Below post content is not my own. It is taken from MOSC document but the example shown below is taken from our environment. I got to know the below topic when we had experienced the bad SQL query performance in one of our production environment during daily batch running time. Hence we had implemented the same mentioned in the title "Pinning execution plan for a sql_id using 'SQL Profile' to consistently reproduce a good plan". Introduction The "cost-based optimizer (CBO or just optimizer) is the part of database software that determines the most efficient means of accessing the specified data (or at least what it "calculates" as the most efficient). The optimizer determines which execution plan is most efficient by considering several sources of information, including query conditions, available access paths, statistics gathered for the system, and hints. Some changes in those conditions may affect the calculations of the plan...

Metrics Process Limit Usage percentage (%) is critical or warning in OEM or Cloud Control 12c or Cloud Control 13c

Please run the below queries to trace details during Metric alert "Process Limit % is >= 75" in OEM or Cloud Control 12c or Cloud Control 13c To check the Metrics Process Limit Usage (%): ***************************************************** set lines 300 col INITIAL_ALLOCATION for a17 col LIMIT_VALUE for a12 select resource_name,current_utilization,max_utilization, INITIAL_ALLOCATION,LIMIT_VALUE,((current_utilization*100)/(INITIAL_ALLOCATION)) as "Process limit %" from v$resource_limit where resource_name in ('processes'); The below query will give you all connected sessions (ACTIVE and INACTIVE) to instance: ******************************************************************************************************* set pages 100 set lines 1000 col SPID heading 'PID' for a06 col SID for 99999 col SERIAL# heading 'serial' for 999999 col SQL_ID for a14 col USERNAME for a10 col PROGRAM for a20 col MODULE for a18 col OSU...
