How can you detect the cause of the degraded performance?

You notice that the performance of your production 24/7 Oracle database significantly degraded.
Sometimes you are not able to connect to the instance because it hangs. You do not want to
restart the database instance.

You notice that the performance of your production 24/7 Oracle database significantly degraded.
Sometimes you are not able to connect to the instance because it hangs. You do not want to
restart the database instance.
How can you detect the cause of the degraded performance?

A.
Enable Memory Access Mode, which reads performance data from SGA.

B.
Use emergency monitoring to fetch data directly from SGA analysis.

C.
Run Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM) to fetch information from the latest
Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) snapshots.

D.
Use Active Session History (ASH) data and hang analysis in regular performance monitoring.

E.
Run ADDM in diagnostic mode.

Explanation:
* In most cases, ADDM output should be the first place that a DBA looks when
notified of a performance problem.
* Performance degradation of the database occurs when your database was performing optimally
in the past, such as 6 months ago, but has gradually degraded to a point where it becomes
noticeable to the users. TheAutomatic Workload Repository (AWR) Compare Periods report
enables you to compare database performance between two periods of time.
While an AWR report shows AWR data between two snapshots (or two points in time), the AWR
Compare Periods report shows the difference between two periods (or two AWR reports with a
total of four snapshots). Using the AWR Compare Periods report helps you to identify detailed
performance attributes and configuration settings that differ between two time periods.

2.6.8.7 Emergency Monitoring

The Emergency Monitoring feature enables the database administrator to connect to an unresponsive database through a special proprietary mechanism and diagnose performance issues when normal mode connection is not possible. It has an in-built hang analysis capability that enables you to identify blocking sessions and kill these blockers with a click of a button.

2.6.8.8 Real-time Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor

ADDM is an innovative way to analyze problems in extremely slow or hung databases, which would have traditionally required a database restart. Real-Time ADDM can help resolve issues such as deadlocks, hangs, shared pool contentions, and many other exception situations without resorting to a restart of the database. Real-Time ADDM uses two types of connection modes to connect to the target instance. The normal JDBC connection is intended to perform extensive performance analysis when some connectivity is available. The diagnostic mode which makes a latch-less connection is useful for extreme hang situations when normal connection is not possible.

so, E is more reasonable.

B – OK
E – NO – work if run Real-Time ADDM not ADDM

thanks for your input.
I go for B as you pointed a very good point about missing “Reat-Time” before ADDM.

Thanks,
