ASH REPORT SHOWS “NO DATA EXISTS”

ASH REPORT SHOWS “NO DATA EXISTS”

Check if license is available. Since ASH is extra cost tool, it requires additional charge to purchase.

kIsH@x3z6zx9<^>show parameter control_man

NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
control_management_pack_access       string      DIAGNOSTIC+TUNING

Check the record count in the ash views. If the database is up and running for many days, then record count should be quite high as per the retention.

Example: If 1000 snapshots are generated per day and retention for AWR is 7 days, then

Snapshot generation = 7 * 1000 = 7000 (Instance should be up and running on all these 7 days)

If instance is down, then ASH has no work to do and it is expected to be empty.
