One of the redeeming qualities of the Java Oracle Enterprise Manager client is the progress bar that comes up when you are viewing the long operations of a session. I wanted this functionality but didn’t want to wake up the big lug to get this info (it takes a long time to start up the OEM client and navigate to the screen to see the long operations progress bar).

So I decided to write a short script to emulate that functionality but take it one step further and show me info about _all_ the longops currently running on an instance.

Perl source code is available here.

If you need instructions on installing Perl, DBI, and DBD::Oracle on a PC, instructions are here.
