exp imp partition parallel 分区表导入导出并行

Extremely slow performance is observed while running an Import DataPump (IMPDP) job against a highly partitioned table with 143 partitions. The import parameter file looks like:

TABLES=<SCHEMA_NAME>.<TABLE_NAME>:<PARTITION_NAME>

PARTITION_OPTIONS=DEPARTITION --对应下面一张nomal table名字

REMAP_TABLE=<SCHEMA_NAME>.<TABLE_NAME>:<PARTITION_NAME>:<TABLE_NAME>

CONTENT=ALL
SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES=YES

DIRECTORY=EXPDP

DUMPFILE=<DUMP_NAME>_%U.dmp

LOGFILE=<LOG_NAME>.log

PARALLEL=8

DATA_OPTIONS=skip_constraint_errors

The SQL found in DW00 generated trace file has the following form:

INSERT /*+ APPEND PARALLEL("<table name>",<parallel degree>)+*/ INTO RELATIONAL("<schema name>"."<table name>") ...PARTITION <partition_name>

FROM "ET $...." KU$

The DataPump job was loading only approx 5% (or approx 5GB) per hour, on a 700GB table. The performance issue is introduced by the fact that the DML workers processes are not running in parallel even after setting up PARALLEL DML and PARALLEL=8.

Even if the parallel slaves are being launched:

PROGRAM COMMAND Username QC/Slave Slave Set SID SERIAL# QC SID REQ_DOP ACT_DOP

============================================================================================================

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P000) 2 - p000 (Slave) 1 787 10351 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P001) 2 - p001 (Slave) 1 853 1203 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P002) 2 - p002 (Slave) 1 915 50799 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P003) 2 - p003 (Slave) 1 981 11441 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (DW00) 2 SYS QC 1044 56901 1044

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P000) 2 - p000 (Slave) 1 788 12009 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P001) 2 - p001 (Slave) 1 850 50447 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P002) 2 - p002 (Slave) 1 917 9857 1044 8 8

oracle <SERVICE_NAME> (P003) 2 - p003 (Slave) 1 980 39721 1044 8 8

the problem is that PARALLEL DML is disabled thus all of those parallel slaves are doing nothing on the INSERT. From below you can very clearly see that the PDML_STATUS is DISABLED:

INST_ID LOGON_TIME USERNAME STATUS PDML_STATUS PROGRAM SQL_ID

As per worker trace, it is confirmed that the insert operation is loading data serially :

| 0 | INSERT STATEMENT | | 8168 | 4817K| 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | | | |

| 3 | PX COORDINATOR | | | | | | | | |

| 4 | PX SEND QC (RANDOM) | :TQ10000 | 8168 | 4817K| 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | Q1,00 | P->S | QC (RAND) |

| 5 | ERROR LOGGING QC (RANDOM) | :TQ10000 | | | 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | Q1,00 | PCWP | QC (RAND) |

| 6 | PX BLOCK ITERATOR | | 8168 | 4817K| 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | Q1,00 | PCWC | |

| 7 | EXTERNAL TABLE ACCESS FULL| ET$03D4837F0001 | 8168 | 4817K| 4 (0)| 00:00:01 | Q1,00 | PCWP | |

and the query coordinator(QC) is running alter session to enable the parallel dml:

KUPW:10:47:01.266: 0: ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML called.

KUPW:10:47:01.266: 0: ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML returned.

but as per PQ tracing the automatic degree of parallelism is disabled:

.....

kkfdtParallel: parallel is possible (no statement type restrictions)

kkfdPaPrm: use table level hint DOP(8) on table

kkfdPaPrm:- The table : 154053

kkfdPaPrm:DOP = 8 (computed from hint/dictionary/autodop)

kkfdiPaPrm: dop:8 parallel(?)

PDML disabled in session

kkfdtpddldml: isParallel ? No

This information shows that the insert is being serialized as a result of PARALLEL DML being disabled and the performance issue is introduced by this behavior.

CHANGES

CAUSE

This is an impdp performance issue where an import with external table access_method is not running the job in parallel even after starting the PQ slave correctly.

The performance issue is only hit when running the job with SYSDBA user. The root cause of this issue has been determined in Bug 19520061 - IMPDP: EXTREMELY SLOW IMPORT FOR A PARTITIONED TABLE.

SOLUTION

Upgrade the database to 12.2, when available, where issue is fixed.

OR -

For earlier database releases please check Patch 19520061, if available for your platform and RDBMS version.

OR -

Run the DataPump import job with an user other than SYS.
