From the CLP, you can obtain the Health indicator description and recommended actions by executing the following commands:
- GET RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH INDICATOR Health-Indicator-Short-Name
- GET DESCRIPTION FOR HEALTH INDICATOR Health-Indicator-Short-Name
Sorting is considered healthy if there is sufficient heap space in which
to perform sorting and sorts do not overflow unnecessarily.
Sorts that
overflow to disk can cause significant performance degradation. If this occurs,
an alert may be generated.
The indicator is calculated using
the formula:
(db.sort_overflowst - db.sort_overflowst-1) /
(db.total_sortst - db.total_sortst-1) * 100
Consider using the self-tuning memory feature to have
sort memory resources automatically allocated as required by the current workload.
If you have the self tuning memory feature enabled for the sort memory area,
you should configure this health indicator to disable threshold checking.
