Active Session History (ASH) is a view in Oracle database that maps a circular buffer in the SGA. The name of the view is V$ACTIVE_SESSION_HISTORY. This view is populated every second and will only contain data for 'active' sessions, which are defined as sessions waiting on a non-idle event or on a CPU.
ASH Viewer provides graphical Top Activity, similar Top Activity analysis and Drilldown of Oracle Enterprise Manager performance page. ASH Viewer store ASH data locally using embedded database Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition.
For Oracle standard edition and PostgreSQL, ASH Viewer emulate ASH, storing active session data on local storage.
** Please note that v$active_session_history is a part of the Oracle Diagnostic Pack and requires a purchase of the ODP license.**
Passwords are stored in configuration file in encrypted form with secret key (computer name or hostname). So, when you run copied configuration on another host, you need to change password with a new secret key. This is a minimal foolproof and for maximum protection it is necessary to store sensitive data using filesystem-level encryption or another way.
