Usage

The data collected in the section_actuals monitor element or per connection using WLM_SET_CONN_ENV is used when a section explain is performed using the EXPLAIN_FROM_ACTIVITY stored procedure. This data is used during EXPLAIN processing to populate the EXPLAIN_ACTUALS explain table and represents the runtime statistics for the operators in the access plan.
Note:
  • Section actuals are only available if they have been enabled (set to BASE) using the section_actuals database configuration parameter or if they have been enabled for a particular application using the WLM_SET_CONN_ENV stored procedure. For more information describing the stored procedure, see WLM_SET_CONN_ENV
  • The section_actuals setting specified by the WLM_SET_CONN_ENV procedure for an application takes effect immediately.
