Instance Activity Values

The next section of the AWRRPTreport shows begin/end type Instance activity values that should not be diffed.

Instance Activity Stats - Absolute Values  DB/Inst: SSD/ssd2  Snaps: 3-4
-> Statistics with absolute values (should not be diffed)
-> Statistics identified by '(derived)' come from sources other than SYSSTAT 

Statistic                            Begin Value       End Value
-------------------------------- --------------- ---------------
logons current                               124             106
open threads (derived)                         4               4
opened cursors current                     1,787              78
          -------------------------------------------------------------


Instance Activity Stats - Thread Activity  DB/Inst: SSD/ssd2  Snaps: 3-4
Statistic                                     Total  per Hour
-------------------------------- ------------------ ---------
log switches (derived)                            6      5.95
          -------------------------------------------------------------

The next sections of the report deal with the tablespace and file I/O statistics. In a non-fully cached environment, this section of the report should be reviewed to see what datafiles are undergoing the most I/O.  These are prime candidates for a move to SSD resource. The following is an example of this part of the report:

Tablespace I/O Stats  DB/Inst: SSD/ssd2  Snaps: 3-4
-> ordered by IOs (Reads + Writes) desc

Tablespace

          -------------------------------------------------------------

In the above report, I/O is observed even in a fully cached environment due to INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE activity forcing cache replacement to occur.
