Barb,

Trace a slow session, choosing carefully when you start and stop data collection to include *only* user response time. As I showed in the example on the "I/O EVENTS" thread earlier on this list, this trace data will give you what you need to prove whether or not you have the network issue you think you have.

List:
We've been fighting problems for several days. I've sort of overwhelmed myself with data, but I don't know what any of it means.

Solaris 2.6, Oracle 8.0.5, MTS
Users complain of extreme slowness. No errors in alert, no trace files generated.
Database is bounced every day. I capture wait statistics each day before
the database goes down. The statistics from v$system_event for enqueue waits has gone up considerably since the problems started last Wednesday.
But when I look at v$lock (I'm using Steve Adams' enqueue_locks.sql scripts), nothing pops up.

Any ideas where I should start looking? I would appreciate any help.
(I really believe this is a connectivity (networking) issue, but don't
know
how to confirm this)
Thanks!
Barb
