Using Automatic Workload Repository Views

Typically, you would view AWR data using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) or AWR reports. However, you can also view historical data stored in the AWR using the following DBA_HIST views.

Table 6-1 DBA_HIST Views

DBA_HIST View Description

DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY

Displays the history of the contents of the in-memory active session history for recent system activity.

DBA_HIST_BASELINE

Displays information about the baselines captured on the system, such as the time range of each baseline and the baseline type.

DBA_HIST_BASELINE_DETAILS

Displays details about a specific baseline.

DBA_HIST_BASELINE_TEMPLATE

Displays information about the baseline templates used by the system to generate baselines.

DBA_HIST_CON_SYS_TIME_MODEL

Displays historical system time model statistics, including OLAP timed statistics.

DBA_HIST_CON_SYSMETRIC_HIST

Displays the historical information about the system metric values.

DBA_HIST_CON_SYSMETRIC_SUMM

Displays history of the statistical summary of all the metric values in the system metrics for the long duration (60 seconds) group.

DBA_HIST_CON_SYSSTAT

Displays historical system statistics, including OLAP kernel statistics.

DBA_HIST_CON_SYSTEM_EVENT

Displays historical information about the total waits for an event.

DBA_HIST_DATABASE_INSTANCE

Displays information about the database environment.

DBA_HIST_DB_CACHE_ADVICE

Displays historical predictions of the number of physical reads for the cache size corresponding to each row.

DBA_HIST_DISPATCHER

Displays historical information for each dispatcher process at the time of the snapshot.

DBA_HIST_DYN_REMASTER_STATS

Displays statistical information about the dynamic remastering process.

DBA_HIST_IOSTAT_DETAIL

Displays historical I/O statistics aggregated by file type and function.

DBA_HIST_RSRC_PDB_METRIC

Displays historical information about the Resource Manager metrics for pluggable databases (PDBs) for the past one hour.

DBA_HIST_RSRC_METRIC

Displays historical information about the Resource Manager metrics for consumer groups for the past one hour.

DBA_HIST_SHARED_SERVER_SUMMARY

Displays historical information for shared servers, such as shared server activity, common queues and dispatcher queues.

DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT

Displays information on snapshots in the system.

DBA_HIST_SQL_PLAN

Displays the SQL execution plans.

DBA_HIST_WR_CONTROL

Displays the settings for controlling AWR.

DBA_HIST_WR_SETTINGS

Displays the settings and metadata of the AWR.

DBA_HIST_PROCESS_WAITTIME

Displays CPU and wait time for a process type.

Note:

In a multitenant environment, these DBA_HIST views can also be interchanged with the AWR_ROOT views and AWR_PDB views at the CDB level and the PDB level respectively.

For example, you can use the AWR_PDB_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY view for retrieving the AWR data about the active session history at the PDB level, which is equivalent to the DBA_HIST_ACTIVE_SESS_HISTORY view in an independent database in a non-multitenant environment. The AWR_PDB views will not show any AWR data, if the PDB level snapshots have not been collected.

Refer to AWR Views for more details.
