Run the Same Batch Process Option

Detailed truss -aefdD Outputs taken during the Run (from Begin to End) .

CASE 1
======
Run the Option from machine SF6800 (APP Server) taken under NO Load with 24
CPUs ( @ 750 MHz ) before Relinking Oracle 8.1.7.2

Pasting ALL system Calls Greater than 2 seconds Descending (3rd Column
below):-

CASE 2
======
Run the Option from machine SF15000 (APP Server) under NO LOAD Conditions
with 24 CPUs only enabled ( 900 MHz ) before Relinking Oracle 8.1.7.2

Pasting ALL system Calls Greater than 2 seconds Descending (3rd Column

CASE 3
======

Run the Option from machine SF15000 (APP Server) under NO LOAD Conditions
with 24 CPUs only enabled ( 900 MHz ) after Relinking Oracle 8.1.7.2

Pasting ALL system Calls Greater than 2 seconds Descending (3rd Column
below):-

29936 [0x0000]

NOTE
1) Total Elapsed time can NOT be Considered because When doing the Runs
WITHOUT the truss Option the Timing on SF15K is LESS Than on SF6800

2) DB Server is a 4 CPUs SUN450 Box containing a Common Test Database which
has NO Other Load .
