AWR Analysis Tool for EBS Reporting Performance Tuning using Blitz Report
Our core financial reports, specifically the monthly General Ledger reconciliation package, have been experiencing severely degraded performance, sometimes taking over eight hours to complete. We suspect certain custom SQL statements are the culprits, potentially generating poor execution plans during peak usage. We urgently need a practical and less complex approach for systematic AWR report analysis to identify which SQL queries are truly consuming the most database resources, far beyond the standard command output. How can our DBAs efficiently pinpoint these high-impact queries for performance tuning, especially when dealing with large volumes of concurrent requests?

Analyzing Oracle’s Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) reports is the definitive method for diagnosing performance bottlenecks, especially those characterized by high CPU consumption during concurrent processing. However, the standard AWR output is notoriously complex and challenging for functional teams to interpret due to the prevalent use of short module codes. We highly recommend leveraging the specialized DBA AWR Blitz Reports offered within the Blitz Report diagnostic toolkit, which are specifically engineered to streamline and demystify this intensive AWR analysis,,.
The AWR Blitz Reports synthesize the performance statistics collected by the Oracle Automatic Workload Repository, translating complex data into actionable insights. Crucially, these customized Blitz Reports return the functional names and associated responsibilities, along with the actual SQL code and the specific line number that is demonstrating poor performance. This level of detail removes the guesswork involved in traditional AWR diagnostics,.
Once Blitz Report is installed, navigate to the System Administrator responsibility and open the Blitz Report form. You can select and run the DBA AWR SQL Performance Summary report directly from the readily available library,. You can then utilize parameters like ‘SQL Text contains’, ‘Module Type’ (e.g., Concurrent Request), or date ranges (‘Date From’, ‘Date To’) to precisely target the historical data corresponding to your peak load snapshots.
Yes, absolutely. Since DBA AWR Blitz Reports can be run through the standard concurrent manager, they can be scheduled to run on a periodic basis, such as nightly or weekly, and automatically emailed to your team,. Scheduling snapshots at fixed times allows you to reliably gauge typical workloads and provides objective historical benchmark comparisons for continuous EBS performance tuning initiatives.
