RE: SNP uses 60% of CPU on Windows2000 - please help

Thanks,
my problem is that I hardly know how to spell Windows. Performance monitor shows Paging file usage at zero.

On Oracle side I altered system and set job_queue _process = 1.

when I run
select vb.name NOME, vp.program PROCESSNAME, vp.spid THREADID, vs.sid SID, vs.program from v$session vs, v$process vp, v$bgprocess vb where vb.paddr <> '00' and
vb.paddr = vp.addr and
vp.addr = vs.paddr;

I got an output:

NOME	PROCESSNAME	THREADID	SID	PROGRAM
PMON	ORACLE.EXE	1580	1	ORACLE.EXE
DBW0	ORACLE.EXE	1404	2	ORACLE.EXE
LGWR	ORACLE.EXE	1584	3	ORACLE.EXE
CKPT	ORACLE.EXE	1588	4	ORACLE.EXE
SMON	ORACLE.EXE	1592	5	ORACLE.EXE
RECO	ORACLE.EXE	1596	6	ORACLE.EXE
SNP0	ORACLE.EXE	1600	7	
SNP2	ORACLE.EXE	2624	35	dllhost.exe
SNP3	ORACLE.EXE	2532	8	dllhost.exe
ARC0	ORACLE.EXE	1636	11	ORACLE.EXE
SNP4	ORACLE.EXE	1784	18	dllhost.exe
SNP5	ORACLE.EXE	644	23	dllhost.exe

As far as I know, dllhost.exe is ASP execution engine. So the culprit may be on the application side, not Oracle.

Does that make any sense?

I have had times on Win NT boxes when the CPU went to 100%. My experience is that this happens when the OS is thrashing the swapfile (writing it into and out of memory on a continuous basis). If the disk I/O is also very high then that may be what's happening. However, 800M free out of 2G does not look too bad. If you don't have the high disk I/O then the SGA is probably not the issue. I don't want to push you in the wrong direction either.

The server has 2GB, free at the moment 800MB. Do you think that SGA size may have something to do with it?

How much physical RAM do you have and how much are you using? Check the Task Manager on the "performance" tab under "MEM Usage" to get that figure.

Hello,
I run into a problem, which I cannot solve myself and would greatly appreciate any help.

Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 utilises 99% of CPU on a Windows2000 server, which also has to run MS IIS and a few applications.

There are 9 user connections (from MS IISv.5, using Oracle ODBC). There are no waits, no locks, basic statistics values are very good.

I found the SNP process executing queued jobs using 60% of CPU. There are no queued jobs (current, broken or any other) in the neighbourhood, never mind on that server.
The sql_text shows: BEGIN sys.dbms_ijob.remove(:job); END;

It seems, that the high usage is coincidental with creation of InterMedia Text indices, which seems to be at least peculiar.

If anyone cares to push me in the right direction, I shall be eternally grateful.

inka
