Spotlight on Oracle 10.10 - Getting Started Guide

The Blocking Locks page shows a lock tree of sessions that are blocked (waiting for lock requests), and the processes that are blocking them. At the root of the lock tree are the processes that hold locks, but are not waiting for locks. Processes that are waiting for locks are shown underneath the blocking processes.
