Applies To | RSA Product Set: RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle RSA Product/Service Type: Enterprise Software RSA Version/Condition: 7.0.x, 7.1.x, 7.2.x |
Issue | On a software only RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle implementation where the database is supplied by the customer and not RSA, customers may choose to run Recovery Manager (RMAN) to backup the database. When RMAN is running on an active database, severe performance degradation may occur. |
Cause | Running RMAN on an active database can cause severe performance degradation. It can potentially deadlock the entire database. Because of the heavy reads on the database by RMAN, there can be row lock contention across multiple tables and indices. In addition, both database I/O and file system I/O can be affected. |
Resolution | To avoid performance issues while running RMAN:
