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.

Oracle EBS R12 and TDE Tablespace Encryption

Keeping data secure is one of the primary job of DBA. Oracle’s Transparent Data Encryption Tablespace Encryption option of Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition provides an excellent method to encrypt data at rest. This option works perfectly with Oracle EBS R12.

The TDE Tablespace Encryption option can be used to encrypt the tablespaces that store the content of your E-Business Suite application so you can encrypt the database files and any backups of these files. Good thing about TDE is you do not have to change any of your existing code as TDE is transparent to application.

Reorg tables and indexes in Oracle EBS Applications – Best Practices

Usually in OLTP environment like EBS Applications, tables are often get fragmented due to multiple DML activities that happens.Fragmented tables cause queries on those tables to slow down. It is very important to de-fragment this table and to reclaim the fragmented space from these objects.

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.
