problem with oracle processes taking all cpu

[Uffe Gavnholt_1]

Hi All,

I'm having problems with a HP-UX server running oracle db for openview.

When OpenView is startet processes called oracleopenview take all available CPU, stalling the system.

Do anyone have some tips to get me started on investigating the cause of this?

Best regards

Hi Uffe,

Use the following query to know what is the Oracle process doing:

select distinct s.sid, s.serial#, s.process client_pid, p.spid server_pid, p.pid oracle_pid
, nvl( s.action, nvl( s.username, substr( s.program, instr( s.program, '(') ))) username_or_action
, s.schemaname, s.osuser, s.status, s.lockwait, s.program, s.machine
, si.consistent_gets, si.physical_reads, q.module, q.sql_text
, s.row_wait_obj#, s.row_wait_file#, s.row_wait_block#, s.row_wait_row#
, round( ss.value) , sn.name
from v$sess_io si, v$session s, v$process p, v$sql q, v$sesstat ss, v$statname sn
where si.sid (+) = s.sid
and p.addr (+) = s.paddr
and q.hash_value = s.sql_hash_value
and q.address = s.sql_address
and ss.sid = s.sid
and nvl( ss.value, 0) != :p_0
and sn.statistic# (+) = ss.statistic#
-- Non-idle:
and sn.name not like '%'||:p_time||'%'
and sn.name not like '%'||:p_sent||'%'
and sn.name not like '%'||:p_pinned||'%'
and sn.name not like '%'||:p_sql||'%'
/*** Filter: ***/
and sn.name like '%CPU%'
/***************/
order by round( ss.value) desc
