Release 3.0.5 is a very minor update from 3.0.4 with only the following changes:

  • Rename of awrreport from the previous name awreport
  • Small improvements to awrdump
  • Minor bugfixes to rwloadsim itself
  • Note that if you are upgrading from release 3.0.3 or earlier directly to 3.0.5, the repository upgrade from release 3.0.4 must be executed.

The following new and updated features were made available in Release 3.0.4:

  • Heavily updated awrreport 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

The following major new features were included in 3.0.1:

  • 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.

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 based on client release 19.10 and Oracle Linux 8, i.e. requiring glibc 2.17 are made available as beta/development; they should not be used for any Production cases.

In addition to the usual bin and binonly tgz files, the file generated-linux-x86_64-bin-3.0.5.tgz contains stand alone binaries with the rwl scripts ociping.rwl, connping.rwl, netthroughput.rwl, awrreport.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.

The md5sums of the files are:

NOTICE: In the two first files, there is a small error in bin/awrreport, that you need to manually correct: The name of the rwl script to be called is still the old name (awreport.rwl), you need to manually change it to awrreport.rwl.
