Dynamic Performance (V$) Views, 17 of 179

V$BACKUP_SYNC_IO

This view displays performance information about ongoing and recently completed RMAN backups and restores. For each backup, it contains one row for each input datafile, one row for the aggregate total performance of all datafiles, and one row for the output backup piece. This data is not stored persistently, and is not preserved when the instance is re-started.

Column Datatype Description

SID

NUMBER

The Oracle SID of the session doing the backup or restore

SERIAL

NUMBER

The use count for the SID doing the backup or restore

USE_COUNT

NUMBER

A counter that can be used to identify rows from different backup sets

DEVICE_TYPE

VARCHAR2(17)

The device type where the file is located

TYPE

VARCHAR2(9)

INPUT; OUTPUT; or AGGREGATE

STATUS

VARCHAR2(11)

NOT STARTED; IN PROGRESS; or FINISHED

FILENAME

VARCHAR2(513)

The name of the backup file being read or written

SET_COUNT

NUMBER

The set_count of the backup set being read or written

SET_STAMP

NUMBER

The set_stamp of the backup set being read or written

BUFFER_SIZE

NUMBER

The size of the buffers being used to read/write this file, in bytes

BUFFER_COUNT

NUMBER

TOTAL_BYTES

NUMBER

The total number of bytes that will be read or written for this file, if known. If not known, this column will be null

OPEN_TIME

DATE

BYTES

NUMBER

The number of bytes read or written so far

EFFECTIVE_BYTES_PER_SECOND

NUMBER

The I/O rate that was achieved with this device during this backup

IO_COUNT

NUMBER

The number of I/Os that were performed to this file

IO_TIME_TOTAL

NUMBER

The total time, in 100ths of seconds, taken to do I/O for this file

IO_TIME_MAX

NUMBER

The maximum time taken for a single I/O request

DISCRETE_BYTES_PER_SECOND

NUMBER

The average transfer rate for this file
