7.28 V$AQ_SUBSCRIBER_LOAD

V$AQ_SUBSCRIBER_LOAD describes the load of all subscribers of sharded queues in terms of latency at every instance in an Oracle RAC environment.

Latency denotes the predicted amount of time (in seconds) required from the current time to drain all the messages for that subscriber at each respective instance. The latency calculation considers past enqueue/dequeue rates and future enqueue/dequeue rates based on history.

Column Datatype Description

QUEUE_ID

NUMBER

Queue ID

QUEUE_SCHEMA

VARCHAR2(128)

Queue schema

QUEUE_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

Queue name

SUBSCRIBER_ID

NUMBER

Subscriber ID

SUBSCRIBER_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

Subscriber name

LATENCY_STATE

VARCHAR2(8)

Possible values:

  • FINITE - The subscriber will be able to dequeue all the messages in a finite amount of time

  • INFINITE - The subscriber's dequeue rate may not catch up to the enqueue rate

  • UNKNOWN - Latency is not yet known

LATENCY

NUMBER

Latency (in seconds). Valid only when LATENCY_STATE is FINITE.

DEQUEUE_REQUESTS

NUMBER

Approximate number of dequeue requests noted recently

ACTIVE_SHARDS

NUMBER

Number of queue shards that have messages for this subscriber

ACTIVE_LISTENER

VARCHAR2(5)

Indicates whether the subscriber is actively listening at this instance for messages (TRUE) or not (FALSE)

FLAGS

NUMBER

For internal use only

MANDATORY_AFF_SWITCHES

NUMBER

An affinity switch is a change in the dequeue instance for a shard-subscriber pair. A mandatory affinity switch is when there are local enqueues in the queue at the instance but no local dequeues present, so the dequeue affinity is switched to another instance for that shard-subscriber pair. This column shows the number of times mandatory affinity switches were needed from this instance to another for this subscriber.

OPTIONAL_AFF_SWITCHES

NUMBER

Optional affinity switches are affinity switches that are not mandatory. Optional affinity switches are done for global load balancing across the Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) database. This column shows the number of times optional affinity switches were needed from this instance to another for this subscriber.

CON_ID

NUMBER

The ID of the container to which the data pertains. Possible values include:

  • 0: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to the entire CDB. This value is also used for rows in non-CDBs.

  • 1: This value is used for rows containing data that pertain to only the root

  • n: Where n is the applicable container ID for the rows containing data
