Measures reported by OraIdleSessionTest
Inactive sessions to an Oracle database server are serious resource-drainers! Such sessions do not execute any transactions, but consume resources significantly, thereby depriving critical database-related operations of the resources. Idle sessions should hence be identified promptly and terminated quickly, so as to prevent the unnecessary locking of resources.
The OraIdleSessionTest reports the count of idle/inactive sessions on an Oracle database server.

| Tot_no_of_idle_session |
Indicates the number of idle sessions; note that all sessions that have been passive beyond the INACTIVE PERIOD configured for this test will be counted as idle sessions by this test. |
Number |
Ideally, the value of this measure should be 0. A high value indicates that a number of sessions are idle and using up resources unnecessarily. Using the detailed diagnosis of this measure, you can quickly identify the idle sessions and terminate them, so that resources are released for the use of critical processes. Alternatively, you can set a lower idle time in the user profile, so that the user session automatically aborts upon reaching the set idle time.
