PMON vs SMON

SMON -> performs recovery, when instance fails and,
PMON -> performs recovery, when user process fails.

PMON

• Rolls back the user’s current transaction
• Releases all the locks that are held on tables or rows
• Frees other resources used by the users
• Restarts the dead dispatcher


SMON

• Rolling forward changes that are made in the online redo log files but not in the data files. Since all the committed transactions are written to the online redo log files, these are successfully recovered as result of rolling forward changes from the online redo log files to the data files.
• Opening the database. After the database is opened, users can log on and access any data that is not locked by un-recovered transaction.
• Rolling back all the uncommitted transactions.
 

Performance tuning Concurrent Managers

Factors which will help us in improving performance

Sleep Seconds

Increase the cache size (number of requests cached) to at least twice the number of target processes.

specialized concurrent managers to dedicate certain process

For maximum throughput consider reducing the sleep time of the Conflict Resolution Manager

purge the old concurrent logs ( Purge Concurrent Request FNDCPPUR) $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG

Set profile option 'Concurrent: PCP Instance Check' to 'OFF' if instance-sensitive failover is not required
