The OraClientConnsTest rreveals how much CPU and memory is utilized by the processes executed by the Oracle clients on the database server. In the event of excessive resource utilization on the database server, administrators can use this test and OraProcessTest to determine which processes consume more server resources - the critical Oracle database server processes, or the client processes?

Note:

This test works only on Unix platforms.

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_procs_running Number of client processes currently executing. Number This value indicates if too many or too few processes are are executing on the host.
Cpu_util Total percentage CPU utilization of the client processes Percent A very high value could indicate that the client processes are consuming excessive CPU resources.
Memory_util The ratio of the resident set size of the client processes to the physical memory of the host system on which they execute, expressed as a percentage. Percent A sudden increase in memory utilization for the client processes may be indicative of memory leaks in the corresponding application.
