Lock by DBLink – How to locate the remote session?

And if you identify a lock or other unwanted operation by a DBLink session, how to identify the original session in remote database (origin dabatase)?
The one million answer is simple: by process of v$session. By the way, looks like is easier than find the local process (spid)… Take a look in my example (scripts in the end of post):

dest> @sid
Sid:10035
Inst:1
SEQ# EVENT MODULE STATUS SID SERIAL# INST_ID
----- --------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
29912 SQL*Net message from client oracle@origin2(TNS V1-V3) INACTIVE 10035 35 1
dest> @spid
SPID SID PID PROCESS_FOR_DB_LINK MACHINE LOGON_TIME
------ ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------- -----------
16188960 10035 882 17302472 origin2 24/08/2015 07:43:40

Now I know the sid 10035 refers to local process 16188960 and the process on origin database is 17302472. What I do what I want if this process:

root@origin2:/oracle/diag/rdbms/origin/origin2/trace>ps -ef |grep 17302472
grid 17302472 1 97 07:42:42 - 5:58 oracleorigin2 (LOCAL=NO)
root 24445782 36700580 0 08:05:45 pts/3 0:00 grep 17302472

What include to locae the session in the database by spid, see the sql, and etecetera:

origin> @spid2
Enter value for process: 17302472
SID SERIAL# USERNAME OSUSER PROGRAM STATUS
------- ---------- ----------- ----------- --------------- ----------
7951 41323 USER_XPTO scheduler_user sqlplus@scheduler_app.domain.net (TNS V1-V3) ACTIVE
database2> @sid
Sid:7951
Inst: 2
SQL_ID SEQ# EVENT MODULE STATUS SID SERIAL# INST_ID
---------- ----- --------- ------- --------- ----- ------ ----------
1w1wz2mdunya1 56778 db file sequential read REMOTE_LOAD ACTIVE 7951 41323 2

That’s OK?
Simple isn’t?

The used Scripts (except the “sid”, that is a simple SQL on gv$session):

Get SPID and PROCESS FOR DBLINK from a SID:

# spid:
col machine format a30
col process format 999999
select p.spid,b.sid, p.pid, b.process as process_for_db_link, machine, logon_time
from v$session b, v$process p
where b.paddr=p.addr
and sid=&sid
/

Get SID from SPID:

#spid2:
SELECT s.sid, s.serial#, s.username,
s.osuser, s.program, s.status,
FROM v$session s, v$process p
WHERE s.paddr = p.addr
AND p.spid IN (&process);
/

See ya!
