RE: Virtual Circuit Status

2003-08-28 Thread Steve Adams
Hi Erik,

MTS uses a common queue for incoming requests (calls) to shared servers, and
other queues for responses going back via a dispatcher. These queues and
their clients constitute the virtual circuit. When a process is ready to
take a request or response from its queue, but finds that there is nothing
there, then it waits for 'virtual circuit status' to change.

So, if you're using MTS and you're not spending a lot of time in this wait
event, then that indicates that your requests and responses are being
delayed by queue time (which incidentally is not yet picked up by StatsPack,
although it is in the V$ views, nor is it visible in the trace files because
the waiting session does not have a corresponding process that is waiting).

Has anyone run into excessive waits on this event? After running my
statspack through oraperf.com, I see that I am waiting ~80% of response time
on this event. I have read on metalink that this is NOT an idle event, and
on asktom.oracle.com that it IS an idle event. We have MTS configured, but
all the clients are set to use dedicated server. Should I try reduce this
event by tuning MTS or is it truely an idle event?

Thanks
Erik

There is no such thing as an idle event. If it consumes someone's
response time, then you have to deal with it. If it tallies time that's
not part of someone's response time, then ignore it.

The key is to collect session-level data for exactly the time interval
during which the observed session is having a performance problem.

The ambiguous answers you're finding all boil down to whether you've
collected your data properly or not. If you've collected your data
improperly, then it's an idle event. If you've collected your data
properly (re: paragraph 2), then it's not.
