5 Troubleshooting AWT Cache Groups

Unable to start or stop replication agent

This section describes what to check if you are unable to start or stop a replication agent.

Replication does not work

If you are unable to get replication working, the problem may be one or more of the following:

Using SNMP traps for notification of replication events

TimesTen can send SNMP traps for certain replication events to enable network management software to take immediate action. TimesTen can send the following SNMP traps:

• ttRepAgentExitingTrap

• ttRepAgentDiedTrap

• ttRepAgentStartingTrap

These traps are described in "Diagnostics through SNMP Traps" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Error Messages and SNMP Traps.

Monitoring AWT performance

You can monitor the performance of asynchronous writethrough (AWT) cache groups to determine how much time is spent performing tasks in the AWT workflow. Use the ttCacheAwtMonitorConfig built-in procedure to enable monitoring.

For example, enable monitoring and set the sampling frequency to 16. A sampling factor of 16 is recommended for accuracy and performance.

Command> CALL ttCacheAwtMonitorConfig('ON',16);
< ON, 16 >
1 row found.

Use the ttRepAdmin utility with the -awtmoninfo and -showstatus commands to display the monitoring results. The AWT monitoring statistics include:

• TimesTen processing time: The total number of milliseconds spent in processing AWT transaction data since monitoring was enabled.

• Oracle bookmark management time: The total number of milliseconds spent in managing AWT metadata on Oracle since monitoring was enabled.

• Oracle execute time: The total number of milliseconds spent in OCI preparation, binding and execution for AWT SQL operations since monitoring was enabled. This statistic includes network latency between TimesTen and Oracle.

• Oracle commit time: The total number of milliseconds spent in committing AWT updates on Oracle since monitoring was enabled. This statistic includes network latency between TimesTen and Oracle.

• Time since monitoring was started

• Total number of TimesTen row operations: The total number of rows updated in AWT cache groups since monitoring was enabled.

• Total number of TimesTen transactions: The total number of transactions in AWT cache groups since monitoring was enabled.

• Total number of flushes to Oracle: The total number of times that TimesTen data has been sent to Oracle.

The output also includes the percentage of time spent on TimesTen processing, Oracle bookmark management, Oracle execution and Oracle commits.

For example:

ttRepAdmin -showstatus -awtmoninfo myDSN

[other -showstatus output]

Possible causes of poor AWT performance

This section addresses issues that may degrade AWT performance.

Permanent Oracle errors reported by TimesTen

Insert, update, or delete errors that occur while applying changes to Oracle are saved in an error file located in the database directory with the following name:

DatastoreName.awterr

Errors reported to this file are permanent errors. TimesTen does not retry the transaction. The errors may be reported in the AWT error file long after the commit to TimesTen occurs.

The format of the messages in the AWT error file is similar to those generated for conflict and transaction errors in replication, as shown in Example 5-1. Oracle error messages are also reported in the support log and the user log.

1. Stop the replication agent.

2. Drop and re-create the cache group.

3. Restart the replication agent.

Transient Oracle errors reported by TimesTen

The support log for databases with AWT cache groups may contain Oracle errors if the replication agent encounters a problem on the Oracle database. If the replication agent encounters one of these errors, AWT rolls back the transaction and retries it. If the support log becomes full, the oldest messages are deleted and replaced by new messages.

The Oracle errors in the support log are considered transient because AWT retries the transaction.

Some transient errors indicate an underlying problem on the Oracle database must be solved before AWT operations can continue. For example:

ORA-01536: space quota exceeded for tablespace
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

After the underlying problem has been fixed, AWT retries the operation.

For more information about the Oracle errors, see Oracle Database Error Messages for the Oracle release you are using.
