Answer
Hi Kaylan,

Do you have any batch processing scheduled to run at or around 10PM? By scheduled batch process, it could include bulk loads, bulk updates, database backups, exports, RMAN, etc.

If you only have one (or two) scheduled activity, that in itself should not be of great concern. If there are many (10<) end-users who need or are reporting latency during that time, then it may need to be looked at to alleviate their performance issues.

If this was occurring during your peak business hours, that would be of higher concern and priority.

If you are using DBMS_JOBS to schedule database process, that may be the first place that I would look at (also accessible via Oracle Enterprise Manager under scheduled jobs). If you're on a Unix/Linux system, take a look at the CRON jobs owned by the database user (usually "oracle"). If you're on a MS-Windows system, take a look at the Windows task scheduler for any scheduled process.

Hope this helps.

Peter
