AWR Report
You can either use OEMDDC, which is the Enterprise Database Control to view the AWR snapshots, or can generate the AWR reports in text or HTML format.
By default for every database, Oracle automatically generates snapshots of the performance data once every hour and stores the statistics in the workload repository.
You can manually capture a snapshot if you want.
% sqlplus / AS sysdba SQL> exec dbms_workload_repository.create_snapshot;
You can run awrrpti.sql script to generate the report.
%sqlplus / AS sysdba SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/awrrpti.sql
