Can the information contained in Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) be used for charge back purposes?
The Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) in Oracle Database 10g does contain the resource consumption statistics rolled up at the Service Level. Services are logical abstractions for managing workloads in 10g and are used to divide workloads into mutually dijoint groupings. Out-of-the-box, the Service Stats are captured by AWR once an hour and can be queried through the DBA_HIST_SERVICE_STAT view. Also, we provide a report to view the AWR information. To run the AWR report, run the following from a SQL/Plus session: @?/rdbms/admin/awrrpt.sql The script will prompt you for a set of IDs that correspond to the relevant time periods. The report will display the DB Time, DB CPU, Physical Reads, and Logical Reads for each Service.
