  • Sequences Nearing Limit

    Happy New Year 2012! 

    During the holidays we hit a production issue on the EBS instance. It was one of the Sequences reaching the maximum limit, but took a lot of time for our admins and Oracle support to figure out where the issue was… If we had the following SQL as part of the monitoring jobs, could have avoided the issue altogether…

    This was added to monitoring tool immediately… 🙂

    SELECT sequence_owner,
sequence_name,
last_number,
max_value,
cache_size
FROM dba_sequences
WHERE last_number > max_value - CASE
WHEN max_value > 50000 THEN 10000
ELSE 200
END
AND cycle_flag = 'N'
AND max_value != -1;

     

  • Oracle EBS Housekeeping Jobs

    For a long time, I searched for a comprehensive list of housekeeping jobs [Standard EBS jobs provided by Oracle] that should be scheduled periodically on the EBS instance. Since I could not find a single source, came up with my own after a lot of reading… There may be more, but these should be scheduled on the EBS to keep the instance performing healthy… The arguments and run interval may need to be modified to suit the workload and business requirement… but this will get you started… Few jobs may need multiple scheduling with different parameters…
