High number of busy waits when using Oracle SecureFiles
Valid from Pega Version 7.2.1
You might experience a high number of buffer busy waits when using Oracle SecureFiles for BLOB storage. An Oracle buffer busy wait occurs when a session cannot access a database block in the buffer cache, because another session is either reading the block into the buffer or changing the buffer. As a best practice, use Oracle 11.2.0.4 or later, because earlier versions have more problems with SecureFiles. In addition, to minimize the number of busy waits, set the hidden Oracle parameter _securefiles_concurrency_estimate
to 50, and partition the table by using a composite range hash partition that is based on the pxCreateDateTime and pzInskey columns.
For more information, see Troubleshooting: High number of busy waits when using Oracle SecureFiles.
