158 DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY

The DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package lets you manage the Workload Repository, performing operations such as managing snapshots and baselines.

See Also:

Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide for more information about the "Automatic Workload Repository"

The chapter contains the following topics:


Using DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY

This section contains topics which relate to using the DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package.


Examples

This example shows how to generate an AWR text report with the DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package for database identifier 1557521192, instance id 1, snapshot ids 5390 and 5391 and with default options.

-- make sure to set line size appropriately
-- set linesize 152
SELECT output FROM TABLE(
   DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.AWR_REPORT_TEXT(
     1557521192,  1, 5390, 5392) ) ;

You can call the DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY packaged functions directly as in the example, but Oracle recommends you use the corresponding supplied SQL script (awrrpt.sql in this case) for the packaged function, which prompts the user for required information.


Data Structures

The DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY package defines an object and associated table type.

Examples

This example drops the baseline 'oltp_peakload_bl' without dropping the underlying snapshots:

EXECUTE DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.DROP_BASELINE (
       baseline_name => 'oltp_peakload_bl');

If you query the DBA_HIST_BASELINE view after the DROP_BASELINE action, you will see the specified baseline definition is removed. You can query the DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT view to find that the underlying snapshots are left intact.


DROP_BASELINE_TEMPLATE Procedure

This procedure removes a template that is no longer needed.

Syntax

DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.DROP_BASELINE_TEMPLATE(
   template_name           IN VARCHAR2,   dbid                    IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL);

dbid

Database id (default to local DBID.


Examples

This example drops the range of snapshots between snapshot id 102 to 105 for the local database:

EXECUTE DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.DROP_SNAPSHOT_RANGE(102, 105);

If you query the dba_hist_snapshot view after the Drop Snapshot action, you will see that snapshots 102 to 105 are removed from the Workload Repository.


MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS Procedures

This procedure controls three aspects of snapshot generation.

There are two overloads. The first takes a NUMBER and the second takes a VARCHAR2 for the topnsql argument. The differences are described under the Parameters description.

Syntax

DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS(
   retention   IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL,
   interval    IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL,
   topnsql     IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL,
   dbid        IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL);

DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS(
   retention   IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL,
   interval    IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL,
   topnsql     IN  VARCHAR2,
   dbid        IN  NUMBER    DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Table 158-28 MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS Procedure Parameters

Parameter Description

retention

New retention time (in minutes). The specified value must be in the range of MIN_RETENTION (1 day) to MAX_RETENTION (100 years).

If ZERO is specified, snapshots will be retained forever. A large system-defined value will be used as the retention setting.

If NULL is specified, the old value for retention is preserved.

NOTE: The retention setting must be greater than or equal to the window size of the 'SYSTEM_MOVING_WINDOW' baseline. If the retention needs to be less than the window size, the MODIFY_BASELINE_WINDOW_SIZE Procedure can be used to adjust the window size.

interval

New interval setting between each snapshot, in units of minutes. The specified value must be in the range MIN_INTERVAL (10 minutes) to MAX_INTERVAL (1 year).

If ZERO is specified, automatic and manual snapshots will be disabled. A large system-defined value will be used as the retention setting.

If NULL is specified, the current value is preserved.

topnsql

  • If NUMBER: Top N SQL size. The number of Top SQL to flush for each SQL criteria (Elapsed Time, CPU Time, Parse Calls, Shareable Memory, Version Count). The value for this setting will not be affected by the statistics/flush level and will override the system default behavior for the AWR SQL collection. The setting will have a minimum value of 30 and a maximum value of 50,000. Specifying NULL will keep the current setting.

  • If VARCHAR2: Users are allowed to specify the following values: (DEFAULT, MAXIMUM, N), where N is the number of Top SQL to flush for each SQL criteria. Specifying DEFAULT will revert the system back to the default behavior of Top 30 for statistics level TYPICAL and Top 100 for statistics level ALL. Specifying MAXIMUM will cause the system to capture the complete set of SQL in the cursor cache. Specifying the number N is equivalent to setting the Top N SQL with the NUMBER type. Specifying NULL for this argument will keep the current setting.

dbid

Database identifier in AWR for which to modify the snapshot settings. If NULL is specified, the local dbid will be used. Defaults to NULL.


Examples

This example changes the interval setting to one hour and the retention setting to two weeks for the local database:

EXECUTE DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS(
  interval  =>  60,
  retention =>  20160);

If you query the DBA_HIST_WR_CONTROL table after this procedure is executed, you will see the changes to these settings.


MODIFY_BASELINE_WINDOW_SIZE Procedure

This procedure modifies the window size for the Default Moving Window Baseline.

Syntax

DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.MODIFY_BASELINE_WINDOW_SIZE(
   window_size    IN   NUMBER,
   dbid           IN   NUMBER DEFAULT NULL);

Parameters

Table 158-29 MODIFY_BASELINE_WINDOW_SIZE Procedure Parameters

Parameter Description

window_size

New Window size for the default Moving Window Baseline, in number of days.

dbid

Database ID (default to local DBID)


Usage Notes

The window size must be less than or equal to the AWR retention setting. If the window size needs to be greater than the retention setting, the MODIFY_SNAPSHOT_SETTINGS Procedures can be used to adjust the retention setting.


REMOVE_COLORED_SQL Procedure

This procedure removes a colored SQL ID. After a SQL is uncolored, it will no longer be captured in a snapshot automatically, unless it makes the TOP list.

Syntax

DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPOSITORY.ASH_REPORT_HTML(
   sql_id         IN VARCHAR2,
   dbid           IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL);
