Usage
Use this element with priv_workspace_size_top to determine whether the size of the private workspace needs to be increased to avoid overflowing. Overflows of the private workspace may cause performance degradation as well as out of memory errors from the other heaps allocated out of agent private memory.

At the database level, the element reported will be from the same private workspace as that which was reported as having the same Maximum Private Workspace size. At the application level, it is the number of overflows for the workspace of every agent that have serviced the current application.
