db file sequential read causing Performance Issues [message #659102]

Hello

We upgraded our reporting system recently from Oracle 11.2 to 12c. Since the upgrade the DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READS have started causing performance issues with wait clause of user I/O. We have not changed anything in the queries. For example below is extract from AWR.

Event Waits Total Wait Time (sec) Wait Avg(ms) % DB time Wait Class
db file sequential read 4,674,473 5235.2 1.12 48.3 User I/O

I have tried changing the parameters which could cause DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ waits, but in vain. Can someone help?

What parameters were they?

If you post the AWR report, perhaps someone can help.

--update: and of course an AWR report from before the upgrade.

Your db file sequential read waits are responsible for only 4% of DB Time. You could reduce them to zero and probably no-one would notice.

There is only one user SQL that is doing any significant IO, this one that took 134 seconds to execute:
SELECT * FROM HK_RT22_STD_DE_V POS WHERE LOT_TYPE_FK = :B2 AND VALID_ON = :B1
if (and only if) that SQL is a problem, you could try to tune it.

Are your users actually reporting any problems with performance? If so, what?

Thanks Watson. Appreciate your quick response. The process (SQL ID: 51wd4tyq7s5qa) which inserts data into table (SQL ID:by48aw2vas7pf) takes about 5 hours to complete.
The same process used to take less than an hour in 11g.

Well, I am sure you have noticed that statement spends virtually no time on IO.

But really, man, do think a bit. At the very least, You need to get the AWR SQL report for that statement from before and after the upgrade.

I do not have the pre image of the system, would have done first thing if I had the same. I understand the insert does not show any time spent in AWR, however the process takes about 5 hours for inserting 1 million records.
Anyway, thanks for your inputs

But the AWR shows it took 900 seconds to load the million records so means either there's an error somewhere OR more likely there's a slowdown in whatever is driving the ~~slow-by-slow~~ row by row insert.

Feels a lot like you're looking at the wrong thing here. The JOB may now take 5 hours, but the insert certainly shows no signs of this.

You don't need any pre-image. Your AWR snapshots from before upgrade will still be there (assuming you are still within your retention period).

Following upgrade to 12, a common fix (but by no means a solution) to performance issues is to disable the adaptive features with

alter system set optimizer_adaptive_features=false;

this is done by default in release 12.2. T

Thanks! But from the AWR I cannot figure out from AWR what's taking time. Any other pointers on how I go forward?

You could use dbms_profiler and dbms_hprof. And (if you have the packs licenced) monitor the procedure as an operation.
