DBA AWR Settings

➜  Back to Library
Description
Categories: DBA, Enginatics
Automatic workload repository settings such as retention period, snapshot interval and number of top SQLs to capture.
topnsql=DEFAULT means the database captures the top 30 SQLs from 5 different categories (Elapsed Time, CPU Time, Parse Calls, Shareable Memory, Version Count) for each snapshot interval.
So the default setting would capture a maximum of 150 different SQLs per snapshot, depend... ing on system load.

Settings are modified by package dbms_workload_repository where interval parameters passed are specified in minutes.
Example: A 35 days retention with snapshot intervals of 30 minutes and 50 top SQLs captured is set as follows:

exec dbms_workload_repository.modify_snapshot_settings (retention=>35*1440, interval=>30, topnsql=>50);

A common problem is that AWR records are not getting purged, see Oracle note 1292724.1.
If column 'Orphan Sess History Count' is bigger than zero, then orphan records not belonging to the current DB's snapshots should get purged either 'manually' table by table:

delete /*+ parallel(x 4) */ from wrh$_active_session_history wash where (wash.dbid, wash.instance_number, wash.snap_id) not in (select ws.dbid, ws.instance_number, ws.snap_id from wrm$_snapshot ws)
alter table wrh$_active_session_history shrink space cascade;

or by a generic script:

begin
for c in (
select x.* from (
select distinct
dt.num_rows,
dt.row_movement,
dtc.table_name,
listagg(dtc.column_name,', ') within group (order by dtc.column_name) over (partition by dtc.table_name) table_columns,
count(*) over (partition by dtc.table_name) column_count
from
dba_tables dt,
dba_tab_columns dtc
where
dt.owner=dtc.owner and
dt.table_name=dtc.table_name and
dtc.owner='SYS' and
dtc.table_name like 'WRH$\_%' escape '\' and
dtc.column_name in ('DBID','INSTANCE_NUMBER','SNAP_ID')
) x
where
x.table_columns in ('DBID, INSTANCE_NUMBER, SNAP_ID','DBID, SNAP_ID')
order by
x.num_rows desc
) loop
if c.table_columns='DBID, INSTANCE_NUMBER, SNAP_ID' then
execute immediate '
delete /*+ parallel(x 4) */
'||c.table_name||' x
where
x.dbid is not null and
x.instance_number is not null and
x.snap_id is not null and
(x.dbid, x.instance_number, x.snap_id) not in (select ws.dbid, ws.instance_number, ws.snap_id from wrm$_snapshot ws)';
dbms_output.put_line(sql%rowcount||' records deleted from '||c.table_name);
elsif c.table_columns='DBID, SNAP_ID' then
execute immediate '
delete /*+ parallel(x 4) */
'||c.table_name||' x
where
x.dbid is not null and
x.snap_id is not null and
(x.dbid, x.snap_id) not in (select ws.dbid, ws.snap_id from wrm$_snapshot ws)';
dbms_output.put_line(sql%rowcount||' records deleted from '||c.table_name);
end if;
if c.row_movement='ENABLED' then
execute immediate 'alter table '||c.table_name||' shrink space cascade';
dbms_output.put_line(c.table_name||' shrinked');
end if;
commit;
end loop;
end;
