Figure 6-13. This OSM script is based on DBA_EXTENTS. For a given file number and block number, it produces information that can be used in a variety of situations, such as helping to resolve buffer cloning issues.
Please remember that having many clones may not present a performance issue. If it is in fact a performance problem, CBC latching contention will clearly be an issue. If this is the case and you spot a cloned buffer, then consider the following as possible remedies:
* Fix the application. This is usually what must be done. It's painful, requires meetings, can get very personal if the application developer is involved, and usually requires the application to be modified in some way to reduce the popularity of the single cloned buffer.
