Hi Christine,
Your rollback segments look large to me based on the
description you have given for your application. One
way of eliminating header waits is to increase the
number of rbs .. try this and post if this helps your
stats..
1. Create total of 20 rollback segments
2. Specification for each rbs is :
initial 1M
next 1M
minextents 20
maxextents unlimited
optimal 20M
meaning that each rbs will have 20 extents initially
and size of each rbs will be 20M initially. since you
have 20 such rbs, total rbs used is 20 * 20M = 400M
if you observe, the above structure uses smaller sized
large number of rollback segments as from your
description below, it looks like you have a oltp
system with large number of transactions
tell me if this helps ..
