Why tablespace SYSAUX's used percent has been increased fast ?

Quanwen ZhaoNov 20 2017 — edited Nov 22 2017

Hello,

experts

Why my oracle db tablespace SYSAUX's used percent has been increased fast for 7 days lately ?

And my check processes below,

Firstly,tablespace used percent currently is as follows,

SYS@orcl29> set linesize 300

SYS@orcl29> set pagesize 300

SYS@orcl29> col "Tablespace" FOR a20

SYS@orcl29> col "Status" FOR a10

SYS@orcl29> col "Total MB" FOR a15

SYS@orcl29> col "Used MB" FOR a15

SYS@orcl29> col "Used (%)" FOR a10

SYS@orcl29>

SYS@orcl29> SELECT

  2      tablespace_name "Tablespace",

  3      d.STATUS "Status",

  4      TO_CHAR((a.bytes / 1048576),'99,999,990.900') "Total MB",

  5      TO_CHAR(((a.bytes - DECODE(f.bytes, NULL, 0, f.bytes)) / 1048576),'99,999,990.900') "Used MB",

  6      TO_CHAR((((a.bytes - DECODE(f.bytes, NULL, 0, f.bytes)) / 1048576)*100) / (a.bytes / 1048576),'999,999.9') "Used (%)"

  7    FROM

  8      (sys.dba_tablespaces d JOIN sys.sm$ts_avail a USING (tablespace_name))

  9      LEFT OUTER JOIN sys.sm$ts_free f USING (tablespace_name)

10    ORDER BY 5;

Tablespace           Status     Total MB        Used MB         Used (%)

-------------------- ---------- --------------- --------------- ----------

MIS_BASE             ONLINE           1,000.000           2.000         .2

SZD_BASE_V2          ONLINE         647,200.000      60,496.063        9.3

SYSTEM               ONLINE           6,144.000         693.625       11.3

UNDOTBS1             ONLINE          25,325.000       4,441.188       17.5

SZD_BAR_V2           ONLINE           3,072.000         562.000       18.3

SZD_PERFORMANCE_V2   ONLINE           2,048.000         842.000       41.1

USERS                ONLINE           2,048.000       1,406.813       68.7

SYSAUX               ONLINE         161,633.813     161,487.938       99.9

Secondly,there has warnings info in alert log,

alter tablespace sysaux add datafile '/u01/oradata/orcl29/sysaux04.dbf' size 31g

Completed: alter tablespace sysaux add datafile '/u01/oradata/orcl29/sysaux04.dbf' size 31g

alter tablespace sysaux add datafile '/u01/oradata/orcl29/sysaux05.dbf' size 31g

Sat Nov 11 12:08:47 2017

Completed: alter tablespace sysaux add datafile '/u01/oradata/orcl29/sysaux05.dbf' size 31g

......

In the meantime,I added two datafiles in SYSAUX(total size is 64G)

Inexplicably,7 days later(in 2017.11.17),there has also warnings info about insufficient tablespace in SYSAUX,see my check result as follows,

......

Fri Nov 17 22:00:26 2017

ORA-1688: unable to extend table SYS.WRH$_LATCH_CHILDREN partition WRH$_LATCH__3701130036_0 by 128 in                 tablespace SYSAUX

ORA-1688: unable to extend table SYS.WRH$_LATCH_CHILDREN partition WRH$_LATCH__3701130036_0 by 8192 in                 tablespace SYSAUX

MMON Flush encountered SYSAUX out of space error(1688).

MMON (emergency) purge of WR snapshots (12429) and older

......

During 7 days period this time,why size 64G has been used up so fast ?

Please help me to analyze this issue weird,thanks a lot.

Best Regards,

Quanwen Zhao
