Oracle10.2 Frage zu Eintrag im Alert.log

Hallo,

im alert.log sind jede M Einträge a la:

Incremental checkpoint up to RBA [0x47.9fc.0], current log tail at RBA [0x47.9fc.0]

Was will mir das sagen ?

Grüße

Chris

Hallo, ein checkpoint ist der Zeitpunkt, an dem die DB den Dirty Buffer der SGA auf Disk schreibt, üblicherweise in sehr kurzen abständen (3 sec). Ein Incremental Checkpoint wird so beschrieben (Oracle Doku) :
>>

Ich hoffe, dass hilft dir weiter. diese Einträge im Log sind nicht „bad“ oder „Ugliy“, sondern normal…

Gruss

Hallo,

das das nicht direkt ein Fehler ist, habe ich schon vermutet, aber ich habe es in den vorherigen Versionen nie gesehen und habe mich gefragt ob ich evtl. irgendwas eingestellt, angeschaltet habe…

Ist das jetzt ein neues Standartfeature von Oracle10.2 ?

Grüße

  • Seit Oracle 10g hat sich schon einiges geändert. Anbei die entsprechende Metalink - Note (Auszug). Ich hoffe, dass hilft dir weiter.

Continuously active checkpoint
> no completion RBA
> checkpoint advanced in memory only
> RBA for incremental checkpoint recorded in control file.
> DBW0 writes out dirty buffers to advance the incremental checkpoint.
> Used to reduce recovery time after a failure.

Incremental checkpoint is determined by:

> Upper bound on recovery needs.
> size of the smallest log file
> value of log_checkpoint_interval
> value of log_checkpoint_timeout
> Total numbers of dirty buffers in the cache.

In 8i:

Checkpoint tuning is controlled by three parameters :

LOG_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL
LOG_CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT
FAST_START_IO_TARGET

The fast-start checkpointing feature limits the number of dirty buffers and thereby limits the amount of time required for
instance recovery. If Oracle must process an excessive number of I/O operations to perform instance recovery, then
performance can be adversely affected. You can control this overhead by setting an appropriate value for the parameter

FAST_START_IO_TARGET.

However, aggressive checkpointing can reduce run-time performance, because checkpointing causes DBWn processes to perform
I/O. The overhead associated with checkpointing is usually small.

In 9i:

New parameter is introduced - FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET.

The FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET initialization parameter simplifies the configuration of recovery time from instance or system
failure. This parameter lets you specify the number of seconds crash or instance recovery is expected to take. The
FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is internally converted to a set of parameters that modify the operation of Oracle such that recovery
time is as close to this estimate as possible.

The maximum value for FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is 3600, or one hour. If you set the value to more than 3600, then Oracle rounds
it to 3600. There is no minimum value for FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET. However, this does not mean that you can target the
recovery time as low as you want. The time to do a crash recovery is limited by the low limit of the target number of dirty
buffers, which is 1000, as well as factors such as how long initialization and file open take.

In 10g:

Starting with Oracle Database 10g, the database can self-tune checkpointing to achieve good recovery times with low impact on normal throughput. With automatic checkpoint tuning, Oracle Database takes advantage of periods of low I/O usage to write out data modified in memory to the data files without adverse impact on the throughput. Thus, a reasonable crash recovery time can be achieved even if the administrator does not set any checkpoint-related parameter or if this parameter is set to a very large value.

Oracle Database 10g supports automatic checkpoint tuning which takes advantage of periods of low I/O usage to advance
checkpoints and therefore improve availability. Automatic checkpoint tuning is in effect if the FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET
database initialization parameter is set to a nonzero value. Observe the following recommendations to take advantage of automatic checkpoint tuning.

If it is necessary to control the time to recover from an instance or node failure, then set FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to the
desired MTTR in seconds. If targeting a specific MTTR is unnecessary, then set FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET to a nonzero value to enable automatic checkpoint tuning. Fast-start checkpointing can be disabled by setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET=0. Disable fast-start checkpointing only when system I/O capacity is insufficient with fast-start checkpointing enabled and achieving a target MTTR is not important.Enabling fast-start checkpointing increases the average number of writes per transaction that DBWn issues for a given workload (when compared with disabling fast-start checkpointing). However, if the system is not already near or at its maximum I/O capacity, then fast-start checkpointing has a negligible impact on performance. The percentage of additional DBWn writes with very aggressive fast-start checkpointing depends on many factors, including the workload, I/O speed and capacity, CPU speed and capacity, and the performance of previous recoveries.

If FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is set to a low value, then fast-start checkpointing is more aggressive, and the average number of
writes per transaction that DBWn issues is higher in order to keep the thread checkpoint sufficiently advanced to meet the
requested MTTR. Conversely, if FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is set to a high value, or if automatic checkpoint tuning is in effect
(that is, FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET is set to a nonzero value), then fast-start checkpointing in less aggressive, and the average number of writes per transaction that DBWn issues is lower.

Fast-start checkpointing can be explicitly disabled by setting FAST_START_MTTR_TARGET=0. Disabling fast-start checkpointing
leads to the fewest average number of writes per transaction for DBWn for a specific workload and configuration, but also
results in the highest MTTR. ReferencesNote 265831.1 - Automatic Checkpoint Tuning in 10g
