• Kill the Session procedure file

  Hello

  I want to develop a process where the user can shoot session by themselves.

  Currently I use the following script to kill all idle sessions.

  If I try to create a procedure and pass in the form, it gives me an error

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE does not work.

  Set serveroutput on

  declare

  sqlStmt VARCHAR2 (1000);

  BEGIN

  For x in (SELECT SID, SERIAL # FROM V$ SESSION WHERE STATUS = 'INACTIVE' AND last_call_et > 300) loop

  sqlStmt: = ' EDIT the SYSTEM KILL SESSION "' | X.SId | «, » || X.Serial # | " ' ;

  dbms_output.put_line (sqlStmt);

  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlStmt;

  End loop;

  end;

  Dear SPathak ,

  Try to add IMMEDIATE too in the KILL statement. So the code will be

  declare
       sqlStmt VARCHAR2(1000);
  BEGIN
       For x in (SELECT SID,SERIAL# FROM V$SESSION WHERE STATUS='INACTIVE' AND last_call_et > 300) loop
            sqlStmt := 'ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION ''' || X.SId || ',' || X.Serial# || ''' IMMEDIATE' ;
            dbms_output.put_line( sqlStmt );
            EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sqlStmt;
       End loop;
  end;

• Idle sessions

  Hi all

  Can someone please explain me on idle sessions in oracle? I used the following query to get the list of inactive requests:

  SELECT the sid, osuser, schemaname, ROUND ((last_call_et) / (60 * 60), 2) inactive_from_hours, program

  SESSION $ v

  Situation WHERE = "IDLE";

  According to the result of this query, I asked the users responsible for killing their sessions. But many of them have complained that their request is completed a long time ago. I'm in a dead end in this situation.

  When a session is inactive?

  If a query is completed, why he is indicated as inactive?

  Closing the window through which the query ran, will solve this problem? This method has something to do with this bad result?

  The user connects to the database - a session is open.

  Run a query - session been ACTIVE

  Ask finishes - session is shown to be INACTIVE.

  Disconnect the user from the database - a session does not exist anymore in the session of $ v

  HTH,

• Can someone explain the simultaneous program "Purge idle Sessions".

  A bit of my environment:
  
  E-Business R12

  Split Architecture components:
  
  Server 1 / DB Node (Redhat 5.5 32-bit)
  2 server / applications node
  
  
  Throughout the day I have to run the top on my apps server command to identify the runaway form sessions that use 100% cpu. I run a kill-9 on them. I wonder if demand for "Purge idle Sessions" doing something in the same direction?

• Kill a session caused instance bouncing

  Our database is 2 CARS db knots. The version is 10.2.0.3. The database servers are windows 2003 servers. Recently, I tried to kill a session using 'alter system kill session..' to kill a user session but caused the corresponding instance bounced. I created a TAR with Oracle and downloaded alert logs, trace files and files of $ORACLE_HOME/log / < name of the node - > /racg directory. But Oracle has not found anything to explain why the instance was restarted. He said that I may have killed an Oracle background process. My questions are:
  
  (1) can you use command 'alter system kill session..' to kill Oracle process? If you can that happen if you had killed a? Just cause the instance to stop and start?
  (2) I tried to find the session that I killed in gv$ active_session_history, but they are too old for exist. I was wondering is there anywhere I found this kind of info.
  
  Thanks a lot for your help.

  I don't think that you can kill a background session with ALTER SYSTEM:

• Idle sessions of VMware

  Hi friends,

  We see too many idle session in the sessions vCenter tab. Although it should not harm immeidate, we always want to find a way to hollow compensation even some settings build-in if possible.

  Article, I came across what suggests to change the vpxdclient configuration file where vSphere client is installed. But in our various teams access infra vcenter from different client computers. Is it possible to clear the list of inactive session of vCenter settings the value?

  Thank you!

• vCenter connections - Idle sessions hang out

  Hello

  We use the VI SDK 2.5 to Windows XP SP3 to connect to vCenter to QueryPerf to get data from the perf.

  A specific user account to connect to the vCenter.

  In some cases, we note that there are a few sessions 'dormant' left hanging out.  I see them listed in the console of Administration/Management/Sessions of the vCenter.  I think that these "idle sessions" when the application is connected to vCenter using the API and attempts a "logout" and disconnection fails for some reason any.  It is also possible, I think that, when the application terminates abnormally.  I noticed a case when there is an end to the session "inactive" after 30 minutes of inactivity.

  Is there anyway to make the API using the same session or inform not to create a new session, if it already exists for the user?  Something similar to a SQL Server how "connection pooling"?

  I appreciate any input in this case.

• Who killed my session and when?

  Hi gurus,
  
  Could you tell me how can I check which killed my session and when two days before? Which table should I interview?
  
  Any input will be appreciated.
  
  
  Thank you.

  You can't unless you have auditing enabled for ALTER SYSTEM.

  Which table should I interview?

  There is no table to the query, unless you already had the above verification enabled. In this case, see SYS. AUD$.

  Hope that helps,

• Idle sessions are automatically generated in the database

  I am facing a strange problem to get the very large number of idle sessions generated th the database server which leads to closing of connection is.
  The error reads as "Failed to check-out a demand account held the failure of connection of the Application Module.»
  This happens whenever I execute the following code:
  
  String amDefName = "amendprgo.model.CSDInvFRCAmendPrgoServices";
  String configName = "CSDInvFRCAmendPrgoServicesLocal";
  ApplicationModule App1 = Configuration.createRootApplicationModule (amDefName, configName);
  String voInstanceName = "prgoHdrRO";
  ViewObject prgoHdrROVO = app1.createViewObjectFromQueryStmt (voInstanceName, "select * from INV_PRGO_HDR");
  prgoHdrROVO.setWhereClause ("PRGO_ID =" + tempRow.getAttribute ("PrgoId") +' and DEPOT_CD = '0' and ITEM_CAT = 'I3' ");
  prgoHdrROVO.executeQuery ();
  If (prgoHdrROVO.getEstimatedRowCount () > 0) {}
  Returns true;
  
  I know there is a process of creating a connection and the View object in part of model in JDeveloper, but I want to know why this problem occurs.

  As I said before

  Configuration.releaseRootApplicationModule(app1 , true);
  

  My advice is to read the links I gave you!

• How to kill a session by the non privileged user

  Hello
  
  I use the oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
  
  I have to give privileged kill session to a user non-preferred, below 2 ways, I know that this can be done with.
  
  1. by giving change the system to this user privilege.
  
  2. by creating a procedure in any user with DBA privileges, which has the statement to execute immediate change the system kill session & by granting execute this procedure to this user.
  
  Apart from the above two ways, I heard that there is a procedure/priviledge etc. also well integrated into Oracle. Which can be granted to individual users.
  
  No idea if there is something of this kind?
  
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Oratest

  Each session has a partner gets server process created in OS that Oracle creates (the setting of the dedicated server), so if you kill even the session in Oracle and the corresponding operating system process is not killed, then the session is marked for KILL and do not get killed instantly or marked as snipped.

  Also, there is no explicit privilege in Oracle to grant only the ability to kill session, you will need to ALTER SYSTEM privilege and, of course, it gives you much more capacity than to simply kill the session and therefore impossible to give all users who does not keep a database.

  Your only option is to go to the Task Manager/Unix command line and kill the ESSSVR.exe process. This process is blocked and all of the demolitions that you issue of EAS/MaxL won't fix.
