Hi All -
We are seeing very poor performance after enabling database links for our ETL application (Oracle ODI). Some tasks have shown improvement, others do not seem to be affected, but one in particular, is taking substantially longer.
Here's a look at the performance of the days before and after the db link changes (time is in minutes here -> duration | start time | end time):
Before
After
When I drill into these steps, I can see the specific tasks which are taking up the time.
In the no-db-link scenario, here is the code
(on source - an EBS database 11.2.0.4)
select
TO_CHAR(SQ_FND_FLEX_VALUE_HIER_PS.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID) || '~' || SQ_FND_FLEX_VALUE_HIER_PS.FLEX_VALUE || '~' ||
COALESCE(SQ_FND_FLEX_VALUE_HIER_PS.PARENT_FLEX_VALUE, '') C1_INTEGRATION_ID,
TO_DATE('01/01/1899 00:00:00', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') C2_SRC_EFF_FROM_DT
from
( /* Subselect from SDE_ORA_Stage_GLSegmentDimension_Hierarchy_Primary.W_GL_SEGMENT_HIER_PS_PE_SQ_FND_FLEX_VALUE_NORM_HIER

And (H.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID=B.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID AND B.FLEX_VALUE BETWEEN H.CHILD_FLEX_VALUE_LOW AND H.CHILD_FLEX_VALUE_HIGH
AND ( (B.SUMMARY_FLAG = 'Y'
AND H.RANGE_ATTRIBUTE = 'P')
OR (B.SUMMARY_FLAG = 'N'
AND H.RANGE_ATTRIBUTE = 'C')))
And (B.FLEX_VALUE IS NOT NULL)

And (1=1 AND (NOT EXISTS(

))))
And (FND_FLEX_VALUE_NORM_HIERARCHY.PARENT_FLEX_VALUE IS NOT NULL)
Group By FND_FLEX_VALUE_NORM_HIERARCHY.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID,
FND_FLEX_VALUE_NORM_HIERARCHY.PARENT_FLEX_VALUE

where (1=1)
(on target - an Oracle data warehouese 12.1.0.2)

C2_SRC_EFF_FROM_DT
)
values

:C1_INTEGRATION_ID,
:C2_SRC_EFF_FROM_DT
)
The above sequence takes just over 17 minutes. Then, in a subsequent step, it does one more insert that takes around 2 seconds ... also on the target data warehouse:
insert into SYFBI_DW.W_GL_SEGMENT_HIER_PS_PE
(
DATASOURCE_NUM_ID,
INTEGRATION_ID,
SRC_EFF_FROM_DT
)
select

C1_INTEGRATION_ID INTEGRATION_ID,
C2_SRC_EFF_FROM_DT SRC_EFF_FROM_DT
from C$_702522750_4_0
where (1=1)
In the db-link-enabled****scenario, here is the code
(on source - an EBS database 11.2.0.4)
/* Db link option chosen and SDS not deployed */
create or replace view APPS.C$_704341750_4_0

The above sequence takes almost 2 1/2 hours. There are no subsequent insert steps.
Here is a high-level summary (taken from: https://blogs.oracle.com/biapps/3-modes-for-moving-data-to-the-bi-applications-dw-from-a-source-application-database) between the two modes:
One thing I don't understand is why there is only such bad performance on this particular task. Others do not seem to be impacted in the same way. I would've thought that if it was the db link itself, we would see others with bad performance as well.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. I'm happy to work with, and provide additional information (e.g. explain plans, traces, etc.) ...
