Monitoring long-idle processes
When a user does not engage in any activity for an extended period of time, the user session contains long idle-processes. If there are many long-idle users, they might consume a large amount of UNIX processes, which are limited based on the size of your UNIX kernel setting. Long-idle users can also occupy a license that can be used by someone else.
Two parameters in the APP_PROCESS (OA_PROCESS) application enable you to monitor long-idle processes:
Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
NumLongIdleProcess | Graph | Shows the number of Oracle processes (concurrent or FND) with an idle time that exceeds the Long Idle Threshold.You can review the information specific to a point on the graph by double-clicking the annotated data point. |
ListLongIdleProcess | Report (text) | Shows the list of Oracle processes with an idle time that exceeds the Long-Idle Threshold. |
