Advanced SQL Tuning Advisory using DBA AWR Blitz Reports

Avatar photoCustomer Questions & Answers 7 replies

Our production system is experiencing intermittent performance dips during end-of-day operations, often traced back to high-impact custom reports running via the concurrent manager. We rely heavily on Oracle’s Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) reports, but interpreting the raw output and manually correlating vague SQL IDs back to specific functional EBS programs is incredibly inefficient and time-consuming. We require a specialized SQL Tuning Advisory tool that can simplify AWR Report Analysis, allowing our DBAs to quickly pinpoint the highest resource-consuming SQL statements tied directly to their respective Concurrent Requests for focused performance tuning.

    For addressing complex performance bottlenecks rooted in concurrent requests, we highly recommend utilizing the specialized DBA AWR Blitz Reports. These reports remove the inherent complexity of standard AWR output by synthesizing performance statistics and linking them directly to functional data, making diagnosis much faster.

  • How do these Blitz Reports specifically bridge the gap between technical SQL identifiers and the functional EBS program names that users actually recognize?

  • Support Enginatics

    The AWR Blitz Reports automatically cross-reference the problematic SQL code with the session context and metadata, returning the specific functional names and associated responsibilities involved in executing the query. This feature dramatically reduces the guesswork required for performance tuning by providing actionable insights linking technical root causes to business processes.

  • Can we configure these performance reports to focus specifically on certain timeframes, perhaps during our peak concurrent processing window between 2 AM and 4 AM?

  • Support Enginatics

    Absolutely. When running the DBA AWR SQL Performance Summary report, you can define parameters like ‘Date From’, ‘Date To’, and ‘Daytime or Night hours’ to target precise snapshots captured during your chosen peak workload periods, supporting thorough AWR analysis.

  • Is it possible to automate the generation of these DBA AWR Blitz Reports so that our DBA team receives an exception report every Monday morning detailing last week’s top resource consumers?

  • Support Enginatics

    Yes, since DBA AWR Blitz Reports execute as standard concurrent requests, they can be scheduled to run automatically on a periodic basis, such as weekly, and configured to be immediately emailed to the relevant DBA or support distribution list, optimizing proactive monitoring.
