7 Using SPA Quick Check

Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control (Cloud Control) includes the SQL Performance Analyzer Quick Check (SPA Quick Check) feature. On some Cloud Control database management pages, SPA Quick Check can validate the impact of a system change to the database workload before you make the change.

You can use SPA Quick Check to validate what the impact to your database workload will be for the following changes:

  • Changing the value of an initialization parameter

  • Gathering pending optimizer statistics

  • Implementing key SQL profiles

Note:

SPA Quick Check is available starting with Cloud Control Release 12.1.0.4 Bundle Patch 8 and later.

SPA Quick Check is supported for any database running Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) and later. However, not all the SPA Quick Check features are supported in Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).

For example, optimizer pending statistics and Automatic SQL Tuning Advisor features are available starting with Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1), so SPA Quick Check workflows for these features are only supported for databases running Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1) and later.
