Symptoms
High CPU is observed by sessions attempting to end / abort a distributed transaction.
These sessions are holding a DX enqueue.
The DX enqueue is associated with distributed transaction activity.
Other sessions waiting on the above may exhibit higher than usual waits on related events:
- 'enq: DX - contention' , or
- 'inactive transaction branch'
A system state dump which can be generated using using the detail in <Note:125568.1> shows that
those processes which are using CPU have a short stack which is similar to the following; please generate 3 system states 2 minutes apart :
... <-kssdct()+106<-kqldaso()+66<-ktcrab()+207<-ktdabt()+471<-k2labo()+203<-k2send() ...
k2send() indicates the processing of a 2 phase commit operation;
k2labo() indicates an abort() operation;
...
kssdct() is connected with deleting a state object .
This operation should be short lived and therefore should not appear in successive systemstates.
