Performance Tuning Using oratop
0 likes233 views
Oratop is a tool that provides dynamic, near real-time monitoring of an Oracle database. It displays information on the database, instances, wait events, sessions/processes, and SQL. It can be run against RAC or non-RAC databases and provides both command line and interactive modes. In interactive mode, various options can be toggled using keyboard keys to customize the displayed information.
![Command line mode
$ export ORACLE_HOME=<path>
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
$ export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/suptools/oratop:$PATH
$ ./oratop –h
oratop: Release 16.5.1
The oratop program provides a dynamic near real-time view of an open database
It also provides a limited on-line interactive interface.
Usage:
oratop [ [Options] [Logon] ]
Logon: {username[@connect_identifier] | / } [AS SYSDBA]
Password is prompted and the connect_identifier is TNS/ EZconnect
Options:
-b: batch mode. Used with –n iteration (default is console)
-n: maximum number of iterations (requires a value)
-o: Write console output to a file (in batch mode)
-i: interval delay (requires a value, default: 5)
-r: real-time (RT) wait events. (section 3, default: Cumulative)
-m: Session/Process MODULE/ACTION (default: USERNAME/PROGRAM)
-s: SQL mode. (section 4, default: session/process mode)
-f: detailed format, 132 columns. (default: standard, 80 columns)
-v: oratop release version number

- 9. Miscellaneous Wait Events (section 3) Keyboard key press ‘r’ will toggle the wait event section between Cumulative and Realtime. For C, the stats shown is the accumulation since the last database restart Header’s %DCP Column “%DCP” (in section 2) is the database instance cpu usage as %CPU of the host Header’s “archivelog” and “er” (incidents) These two values are static, they are acquired once upon start of monitoring only. They are not auto refreshed because the first incur expensive recursive query and the second adds to diagnosability database waits Values appearing in RED color Values flagged and highlighted in red color are merely an emphasis of warning Tablespaces listing A list of all the tablespaces (cdb and pdb) can be obtained online with keyboard key press ‘t’
- 10. Miscellaneous Detailed format (long) Note. in RAC environment, while section 2 (instance section) is restricted to the top 5 instances in the text-based user interface, all of the available instances will be listed in the batch mode.

Miscellaneous Unprivileged user A typical error encountered by a non-privileged user upon connection to the database using the tool is “ORA-00942: table or view does not exist” To allow the non-privileged user to use oratop, the system administrator with a DBA role may issue the following grant: “GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO ;” Exiting To quit the program gracefully, user may press keyboard keys: "q" or "Q", or Esc key.
