Hi,
We are experiencing high memory and swap utilization on our middle tiers. When I searched for top 20 processes consuming high Swap from OS level all processes I found were something like this:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
pspabcdv 23240 0.0 1.6 1527900 266572 ? Sl 2008 1:35 PSAPPSRV -C dom=PPABCV12_253088 -g 99 -i 7 -u aupodabcd14 -U /pabcdiv/psoft/pt849/epm90/appserv/PABCDIV12/LOGS/TUXLOG -m 0 -s@../psappsrv.lst -s@../psqcksrv.lst -sICQuery -sSqlQuery:SqlRequest -- -C psappsrv.cfg -D PABCDIV12 -S PSAPPSRV
When I drilled down further into this from the database level I fond that all these processes are INACTIVE at the database level and logged in since very long. The output from v$session view was something like this:
SID SERIAL# STATUS login Since LAST_CALL_ET MACHINE

Please let me know how to sort this issue out.
