SYSADMIN login performance issue in Oracle EBS R12

In our EBS system, we found that SYSADMIN login was slow. It was taking around 4-5 minutes to login and when inside the EBS application it was taking 2-3 minutes every time we were navigating in the self-service pages. This issue was not occurring for normal EBS users. We thought of applying the trace to SYSADMIN user to find the root cause of it.

For EBS we have also seen  that usually gathered statistics, indexing and proper SQL tuning is plenty to improve and maintain acceptable performance but sometime it is required to reorg the table.

One primary cause of fragmentation is that when you run delete command on the tables it delete the rows but doesn’t frees up the memory and also do not changes the high water mark.
