DBA_HIST_CHANNEL_WAITS

DBA_HIST_CHANNEL_WAITS display the amount of messages broadcast on KSR and KSXR channels as well as the total time taken for the broadcast to complete.

KSR channels are local to an instance, that is, only processes within an instance subscribed to the channel can receive the message. KSXR channels allow messages to be broadcast across instances. The messages broadcast and the total time to broadcast are cumulative from the start of the instance. Channels with high overall average wait times could indicate potential problems with a subscriber on that channel which can lead to poor scaled performance.

Column Datatype NULL Description
SNAP_ID NUMBER   Unique snapshot ID
DBID NUMBER   Database ID for the snapshot
INSTANCE_NUMBER NUMBER   Instance number for the snapshot
CHANNEL VARCHAR2(64)   The name of the KSR or KSXR channel
MESSAGES_PUBLISHED NUMBER   The cumulative count of messages published on the channel (from instance startup)
WAIT_COUNT NUMBER   The total number of times a publisher has waited for a broadcast to complete. This metric is only pertinent for asynchronous broadcasts where the broadcast can be dispatched and publisher can wait for completion at a later point of time. A high wait count along with increased wait time can indicate a potential performance bottleneck.
WAIT_TIME_USEC NUMBER   The cumulative amount of time in microseconds that publishers have waited for message broadcast to complete. Average time for broadcast on a channel can be computed by dividing WAIT_TIME_USEC by WAIT_COUNT. A high average time can indicate a potential performance bottleneck.
CON_DBID NUMBER   The database ID of the PDB for the sampled session
CON_ID NUMBER  

The ID of the container that CON_DBID identifies. 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
