Symptoms

When the Workflow Background Process concurrent program is running, you notice a degradation of e-business suite performance. In the meantime,  the database diagnostic script STATSPACK reports a very high number of Buffer Gets done by FNDWFBG module.

The STATSPACK output shows FNDWFBG module as the top performer of Buffer Gets:
