B.3 XDWK Process

The XDWK (Exadata Automation Worker) process performs automation tasks by requested by the XDMG background process. The XDWK process begins when asynchronous actions, such as ONLINE, DROP or ADD for an Oracle ASM disk are requested by the XDMG process. The XDWK process stops after 5 minutes of inactivity. The XDWK process runs in the Oracle ASM instances.
