DBA_ADVISOR_RECOMMENDATIONS displays the results of an analysis of all recommendations in the database.

Column Datatype NULL Description

OWNER

VARCHAR2(128)

Owner of the task

REC_ID

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Unique identifier of the recommendation

TASK_ID

NUMBER

NOT NULL

Task that owns the recommendation

TASK_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

Name of the task

EXECUTION_NAME

VARCHAR2(128)

The name of the task execution with which this entry (row) is associated

FINDING_ID

NUMBER

Unique identifier of the finding

TYPE

VARCHAR2(30)

Type of the recommendation

RANK

NUMBER

Ranking, in terms of importance, within the set of recommendations generated for the task

PARENT_REC_IDS

VARCHAR2(4000)

Comma-separated list of the recommendation IDs of the parent recommendations. If this column is nonzero, then the recommendation depends on the parents, and cannot be accepted if the parents are not accepted.

BENEFIT_TYPE

VARCHAR2(4000)

Describes the benefit obtained by carrying out the recommendation

If there is a set of parents for the recommendation, then the benefit is the cumulative benefit (the improvement in system performance when this and all prior parent recommendations are accepted).

If there are no parents, then this is the improvement when the recommendation is accepted, independent of other recommendations.

BENEFIT

NUMBER

Calculated benefit value

This column displays an estimate of the savings in total activity (or load) on the system if all actions of the recommendation are implemented.

Recommendations are not additive, that is, the benefit from one recommendation may overlap with the benefit from another. For example, Oracle might recommend increasing the shared pool size, or reducing hard parses (by not using literals), and both recommendations might reduce the same part of the workload related to parsing.

The benefit is given in both pure active sessions and as a percent of the average active sessions of the analysis time period. Therefore, if the benefit is 20% of active sessions, Oracle estimates that if you apply the actions on the same workload, the average active sessions on the server will be reduced by 20%. The DBA_ADDM_TASKS view displays the average active sessions for an ADDM task.

ANNOTATION_STATUS

VARCHAR2(11)

When a task is complete, the recommendations are marked ACCEPT. The status can be changed later using the MARK_RECOMMENDATION procedure:

  • ACCEPT - Current recommendation is ready to implement. This recommendation can also be used as advice for future analysis operations.

  • REJECT - Current recommendation is not acceptable to the user, and therefore will be excluded from any implementation scripts. This recommendation can also be used as advice for future analysis operations.

  • IGNORE - Though not rejected, the current recommendation will be ignored when generating scripts and will never be used as advice to future analysis operations.

FLAGS

NUMBER

Advisor-specific flags

FILTERED

VARCHAR2(1)

A value of Y means that the row in the view was filtered out by a directive (or a combination of directives). A value of N means that the row was not filtered.
