Case Study & Technical Analysis
Abstract
The DBA Session Longops report provides real-time visibility into long-running database operations. It leverages the V$SESSION_LONGOPS view, which tracks operations that take longer than 6 seconds (in absolute time). This tool is indispensable for monitoring the progress of heavy batch jobs, backups, massive DML operations, and complex queries involving full table scans or hash joins.
Technical Analysis
Core Metrics
- Progress Tracking: Displays
SOFAR(units processed so far) vs.TOTALWORK(total units to process), allowing for a percentage completion calculation. - Time Estimates: Provides
TIME_REMAININGandELAPSED_SECONDSto estimate when a job will finish. - Operation Type: Identifies the specific action (e.g.,
Table Scan,Sort Output,RMAN: aggregate input). - Target Object: Points to the specific table or index being processed.
Key Views
GV$SESSION_LONGOPS: The history and current status of long operations across all RAC instances.GV$SESSION: Joins to session data to identify the user, machine, and program responsible for the operation.
Operational Use Cases
- User Support: Answering the common question, “Is my job hung, or just slow?”
- Performance Tuning: Identifying queries that are performing unexpected full table scans on large tables.
- Maintenance Monitoring: Tracking the progress of RMAN backups, index rebuilds, or statistics gathering jobs.
- Kill Decisions: Estimating if a blocking session will finish soon or if it needs to be terminated.
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.
