And this time we have audio !!! (Wow!)
Following the huge success of my last hacking session, planned while drinking beer at Graham Woods OOW pre-party and delivered from Miracle’s massive Oracle Closed World event in Thirsty Bear (between drinking beers), I’m announcing another hacking session:
What: Using Session Snapper for flexible Oracle Performance Troubleshooting
When: Wednesday 27th Oct 9:00-10:00 AM PDT (US West coast / California time). Check what’s this in your time zone here
Where: Internet! -> Sign up here: http://tech.e2sn.com/secret
You’ll need to register fast and be “there” on time as my current GotoWebinar account only allow 100 attendees to log on… last time over 100 people signed up, but “luckily” less actually showed up, so nobody got left outside!
BTW, I have figured out what went wrong with audio last time and caused my voice in the end of presentation disappear). A program, which I accidentally launched via a keyboard shortcut, grabbed my Mic input to itself, so gotowebinar’s app couldn’t access it anymore.
- People who will attend my Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting online class or the Virtual Conference I’m organizing with Jonathan, Cary and Kerry – you can also log on to make sure that the (gotomeeting) technology works out OK for you.
See you soon!




Hi Tanel,
Is it free ?
I am still surprized.. !!
Yes this 1-hour session on Wednesday is free. Why are you surprised? :)
Damn, i wish i could attend but i have a meeting with a guy doing my kitchen at exact that time. That being said i give my vote for another session. :)
Cheers and keep up the good work.
It was really good. Thank you, Tanel.
Hi Tanel,
Thank you so much for spending your precious time spreading Oracle knowledge. Much appreciated. Your blog and knowledge are simply awesome.
To be honest, I was a bit disappointed with todays session. What I learnt today was just the syntactical detail about the snapper tool, which is already very well documented by yourself. There was not much “hacking” that I expected to see.
Hope you won’t mind honest comments, since I have deepest respect for you.
@CJ
Yeah the “hacking session” will become just a name from now on…
Showing how to use this thing is definitely needed as some people had not used snapper at all or didn’t use it’s full functionality. I planned to get into more concrete examples of how useful the v$sesstat stats for example can be, but as you saw, ran out of time…
Well next time then – as as I’m done with Snapper intro, then we can have more specific focus areas in the future!
Quite enjoyable and a lot of fun. Thanks for having me.
Thanks for this free snapper presentation.
It was a quite useful introduction to this tool; and I hope to see a lot of such kind of free presentations :-)
Best Regards

Nice tools, composed with awr and ash , we have more choice!
Will there be “Hacking session” on Perfsheet, I must be dumb, since each time in try to connect to an instance outside my own laptop, I got a connection error :(
By chance, is there a video of the Snapper hacking session ?
Thks
@JC Dauchy
Yes there will be a PerfSheet one too some day. The Snapper session recording ended up crap due to the software I used for recording – I will need to re-record it!
There is a snapper utility that uses the gv$* views instead of v$* ?
@Eduardo
Not yet, but we are working on it (slowly though)
