Active Session History (ASH) performed an emergency flush

Active Session History (ASH) performed an emergency flush. This may mean that ASH is undersized. If emergency flushes are a recurring issue, you may consider increasing ASH size by setting the value of _ASH_SIZE to a sufficiently large value. Currently, ASH size is 4194304 bytes. Both ASH size and the total number of emergency flushes since instance startup can be monitored by running the following query:


SQL> select total_size,awr_flush_emergency_count from v$ash_info;

TOTAL_SIZE AWR_FLUSH_EMERGENCY_COUNT
---------- -------------------------
   4194304                         1

SQL> select * from v$ash_info;
