Tip of the Week
For both EBS 11i and R12 it is manditory that you gather statistics on EBS tables/indexes. This is due to database using the Cost Based Optimizer (CBO).
Gather schema statistcs periodically to be sure you have fresh, sufficient stats available so
database optimizer (CBO) may choose best possible execution plan for EBS SQL, PL/SQL being executed.
Suggest you reference following note (also applicable for EBS R12):
Note 368252.1 EBPERF FAQ - Collecting Statistics with Oracle Apps 11i for best practices for gathering stats for EBS.
You may run script found in Note 163208.1 - bde_last_analyzed.sql - Verifies CBO Statistics, to check when, what, where statistics were last gathered.
