		<description><![CDATA[Cam,

I don&#039;t think there are any good references for either that give the detail we would both like to see.
As Franck has pointed out, the best we can do is look at statspack - where we have the pl/sql source - when we want to try and work backwards to the printed figures.  Even then, as with your &quot;Av Buf Wt(ms)&quot; you also have to know that v$filestatxs is one of the view created by statspack and that the x$kcbfwait it references (which is &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jlcomp.demon.co.uk/waiting.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;not commonly documented&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;) is the summary of buffer busy waits by file number - making the figures youthe fitur see the average buffer busy wait time by file.

Unfortunately, dependent on version of Oracle, you have to guess whether the buffer busy waits data (x$kcbwait and x$kcbfwait) includes or excludes the &quot;read by other session&quot; special case that was isolated in 10g; and then you have to cross check with the &quot;Segments by Buffer Busy Waits&quot; from v$segstat.  Nobody does this type of analysis in a vacuum, so no-one has a list of the thousands of cross-referenced details that would be necessary to make it possible to automate the interpretation of the numbers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi,
As AWR is coming from Statspack, I usually check in statspack scripts how the numbers are calculated. 
For example:
 - Searching for &#039;Av Buf Wt(ms)&#039; in sprepins.sql shows that it is calculated from time / wait_count from stats$filestatxs
 - Searching in spcusr.sql shows that they come from x$kcbfwait
 - x$kcbfwait sums the waits you see in v$waitstat
So I can guess that &#039;Av Buf Wt(ms)&#039; is the average wait time for all wait events (the  &#039;Buffer Waits&#039; column) on the file blocks. Wt is for &#039;Wait&#039; not for &#039;Write&#039; ans it concerns read or write events.
Regards,
Franck.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can anyone recommend good references for AWr and statspack output? I don&#039;t really mean interpretation of them - this is somewhere between an art and a science and there are many articles out there - I really mean one that simply and clearly defines what all the contents are. For example, I recently found myself with a colleague looking over the &quot;Tablespace IO Stats -&gt; ordered by IOs&quot; section and we both realised we were not 100% sure what &quot;Av Buf Wt(ms)&quot; signified - is this figure averaged over reads and writes? I think the report is full of little subtleties like this which seem obvious until someone questions you closely about what they mean! But shurely (sic) these are fully documented somewhere?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Currently, the Oracle shop is a mess... No way you can find any information about purchasing diagnostic pack and/or tuning pack. Not even the enterprise manager pack you can find in it, which according to Oracle should be a kind of product group for all of this. I don&#039;t believe this, they can&#039;t put this information clearly and for everybody to unserstand on the web... Can anybody help?]]></description>
