Release 3.0.4 contains the following new and updated features

  • Heavily updated awreport and a new awrdump utility to create a dump of an awr repository
  • These utilities and the network test utilities can be called directly as shell scripts
  • Several bug fixes
  • A small repository update found in admin/rwl304.sql must be executed against your repository before running the new release

The following new and updated features were made available in release 3.0.3:

  • The syntax for opening files for read, append and as pipelines has been enhanced
  • A new database network throughput test, netthroughput.rwl, is included and made available as standalone generated binary
  • The ociping and connping utilities have been enhanced

The following new and updated features were included in 3.0.2:

  • You can generate an executable with an included rwl script, which can be executed completely stand alone
  • SQL declaration no longer needs explicit bind and/or define, as bind variables and select list elements can be implicitly matched to declared variables.
  • The separate declaration and subsequent execution of SQL is no longer needed.
  • Formatting of output using printf.
  • Several minor updates, a number of bug fixes and updates to the standard oltp workload

Binaries are available for x86_64 Linux; for client environment 11.2 and 12.2, glibc 2.7 is required, for 18 and 19, glibc 2.14 is required, and for 21, glibc 2.17 is required. ARM binaries can be provided upon request.

In addition to the usual bin and binonly tgz files, the file generated-linux-x86_64-bin-3.0.4.tgz contains stand alone binaries with the rwl scripts ociping.rwl, connping.rwl, netthroughput.rwl, awreport.rwl, awrdump.rwl. To use either of these, download and un-tar, put the executable anywhere (in your PATH), and run it with -h to get started. An oracle environment release 19 or newer with LD_LIBRARY_PATH properly set is needed; instant client is fine. If you are on an earlier version of either Oracle Linux, glibc or Oracle client environment, the file generated-11-linux-x86_64-bin-3.0.2.4.tgz can be used; it only contains the three Oracle Net utilities, not the awr utilities.
