The following is an example of how we could gather the arrival rate, expressed in user calls per second, over a 5-minute (300-second) period.
Placing the collected Oracle workload data into the arrival rate formula, expressed in user calls per second, the arrival rate is 1,342.05 uc/s.
The Statspack and AWR reports calculate their load profile metrics the same way, but they store the collected data in difference tables and use different sampling techniques. For example, the Statspack facility typically collects data in 60-minute intervals and stores the data in tables starting with stats$ (the key table is stats$snap). The AWR report draws from the WRH$ tables, which contain summarized active session history (ASH) data. With just a little creativity, you can devise your own reports that pull from the Statspack or AWR tables.
