大量的virtual circuit status等待造成系统卡顿

开发部门反映wms系统反映缓慢

查看系统等待事件

select event,count(1) from gv$session_wait

group by event

order by count(1) desc;

发现有比较多的virtual circuit status

查询资料发现virtual circuit status idle event

interface. The common idle events are as follows:

Idle Events
client message	PX Deq: Execute Reply
dispatcher timer	PX Deq: Execution Msg
gcs for action	PX Deq: Signal ACK
gcs remote message	PX Deq: Table Q Normal
ges remote message	PX Deque wait
i/o slave wait	PX Idle Wait
jobq slave wait	queue messages
lock manager wait for remote message	rdbms ipc message
null event	slave wait
parallel query dequeue	smon timer
pipe get	SQL*Net message from client
PL/SQL lock timer	SQL*Net message to client
pmon timer	SQL*Net more data from client
PX Deq Credit: need buffer	virtual circuit status
PX Deq Credit: send blkd	wakeup time manager

问题出现前提条件：
1. 使用 oracle 11gR2
2. 是客户端PL/SQL在连接数据库的时候使用shared server
3. plsql在默认连接的时候是创建多个session的：Session  Mode 选择 Multi session或者Dual session

此时查询 v$session 视图可以看到，session的等待事件就是 virtual circuit wait，注销plsql即可看到等待事件取消

只有条件1,2和条件3同时达到才会产生这个等待事件，如果使用dedicated链接或者plsql配置上选择Single session 都不会产生这个等待事件。

这个应该算是共享链接模式的特有异常，当然使用共享链接模式的比较少，大家见到该异常的概率也比较低，仅供参考

This is a performance monitoring enhancement to split the 'virtual circuit status' wait event into two new

wait events:

"shared server idle wait" - for when the shared server is
idle waiting for something to do

"virtual circuit wait" - for when the shared server is
blocked waiting on a specific
circuit / message

The wait "virtual circuit status" no longer exist with this fix.

Before the bug fix  the 'virtual circuit status' event was classified as an

idle event but was used for both idle and non-idle waits.  Since the idle time

dominated the total time for the event, it obscured any true issues with the

other waits under the event.

With this bug fix included in 11.1.0.7 and 11.2 The 'virtual circuit status' wait
event was removed and replaced by two new wait events: 'shared server idle wait' and
'virtual circuit wait'.  The wait on the common queue uses 'shared server idle wait' and
all the otherwaits use 'virtual circuit wait'
