Thank you. ------------------------------- The Oracle subsystem is focused on the Oracle instance and database. Oracle response-time analysis (discussed later in this chapter) is used to diagnose this circle, and solutions are directly targeted at what can be done to improve the Oracle response time. The application subsystem is focused on SQL, application processes, programs, modules, and so on. The Oracle response-time analysis will direct you to what type of SQL is causing contention in Oracle, and probably consuming a tremendous amount of operating system resources. The operating system analysis is focused on finding the operating system bottleneck, which will be the CPU, memory, IO, or network. Unless the problem is outside the database server, or there is an Oracle or application blocking or locking issue, there will be an operating system bottleneck. The benefits of the 3-circle analysis method are many and should quickly become obvious. As you read about the following benefits, consider how they would have helped you in previous firefighting situations.
