Case Study & Technical Analysis
Abstract
The DBA SGA Wait Event Summary (active session history) report aggregates wait event data from the in-memory ASH buffer to provide a “Top Wait Events” profile for the immediate past. Unlike the standard AWR “Top 5 Timed Events,” which covers a full hour, this report can be scoped to the last 5, 10, or 30 minutes, providing high-resolution visibility into transient performance spikes.
Technical Analysis
Core Logic
- Aggregation: Sums the number of active session samples for each
EVENT(orWAIT_CLASS). - Time Basis: Since ASH samples once per second, the count of samples roughly equates to “seconds spent waiting” (DB Time).
- CPU vs. Wait: Clearly distinguishes between time spent on CPU (working) versus time spent waiting for resources (I/O, locks, latches).
Key View
GV$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY: The source of the wait event samples.
Operational Use Cases
- Incident Response: During a slowdown, running this report for the “Last 10 Minutes” immediately reveals if the bottleneck is I/O (
db file sequential read), Concurrency (enq: TX), or CPU. - Load Profiling: Understanding the “personality” of the workload (e.g., is it read-intensive or commit-intensive?).
Oracle E-Business Suite Reporting Library
We provide an open source Oracle EBS SQLs as a part of operational and project implementation support toolkits for rapid Excel reports generation.
Blitz Report™ is based on Oracle EBS forms technology, and hence requires minimal training. There are no data or performance limitations since the output files are created directly from the database without going through intermediate file formats such as XML.
Blitz Report can be used as BI Publisher and Oracle Discoverer replacement tool. Standard Oracle BI Publisher and Discoverer reports can also be imported into Blitz Report for immediate output to Excel. Typically, reports can be created and version tracked within hours instead of days. The concurrent request output automatically opens upon completion without the need for re-formatting.
The Filters, Columns, Rows and Values fields are used to create and deliver the data in pivot table format with full drill down to details.

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

You can download and use Blitz Report free of charge for your first 30 reports.
The installation and implementation process usually takes less than 1 hour; you can refer to our installation and user guides for specific details.
If you would like to optimize your Oracle EBS implementation and or operational reporting you can visit www.enginatics.com to review great ideas and example usage in blog. Or why not try for yourself in our demo environment.
