4.289 DBA_HIST_ASH_SNAPSHOT

DBA_HIST_ASH_SNAPSHOT provides the list of snapshots that contains Active Session History (ASH) data.

This view differs from DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT in that it provides snapshots which had errors flushing some Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) tables, but for which ASH data may be successfully flushed (DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT filters out snapshots which had errors flushing AWR tables).
