There are several workflows available in Oracle Enterprise Manager for creating a SQL Performance Analyzer task.
To create an analysis task using Enterprise Manager:
From the Performance menu, select SQL, then SQL Performance Analyzer.
If the Database Login page appears, then log in as a user with administrator privileges.
The SQL Performance Analyzer page appears.
Under SQL Performance Analyzer Workflows, select the workflow for creating the desired type of analysis task:
Upgrade from 9i or 10.1
Use the upgrade from 9i or 10.1 workflow to test a database upgrade from Oracle9i Database or Oracle Database 10g Release 1 to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and newer releases, as described in "Upgrading from Oracle9i Database and Oracle Database 10g Release 1".
Upgrade from 10.2 or 11g
Use the upgrade from 10.2 or 11g workflow to test a database upgrade from Oracle Database 10g Release 2 or Oracle Database 11g to a later release, as described in "Upgrading from Oracle Database 10g Release 2 and Newer Releases".
Parameter Change
Use the parameter change workflow to determine how a database initialization parameter change will affect SQL performance, as described in "Using the Parameter Change Workflow".
Optimizer Statistics
Use the optimizer statistics workflow to analyze how changes to optimizer statistics will affect SQL performance, as described in "Using the Optimizer Statistics Workflow".
Exadata Simulation
Use the Exadata simulation workflow to simulate how using Oracle Exadata will affect SQL performance, as described in "Using the Exadata Simulation Workflow".
Guided workflow
Use the guided workflow to compare SQL performance for all other types of system changes, as described in "Using the Guided Workflow".
