    IOUG Collaborate 2016! #C16LV

    It’s that time of year again and the massive undertaking of the Collaborate conference is upon us.  This yearly conference, a collaboration between Quest, Oracle Applications User Group, (OAUG) and Independent Oracle User Group, (IOUG) is one of the largest conferences in the world for those that specialize in all areas of the Oracle database. The conferene is held in different cities, but recently its been sticking to the great destination of Las Vegas, NV.  We’ll be at the Mandalay, which like many casinos, is like it’s own little self-contained city within a city. The week will be crazy and…

    EM13c Cloning- Part II, Demands from Test Master and Kellyn

    On my previous post, I submitted a job to create a test master database in my test environment.  Now my test environment is a sweet offering of containers that simulate a multi-host scenario, but in reality, it’s not. I noted that after the full copy started, my EMCC partially came down, as did my OMR, requiring both to be logged into and restarted. Upon inspection of TOP on my “host” for my containers, we can see that there is some serious CPU usage from process 80: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 80 root…

    Hybrid Gateways and the Oracle Public Cloud with EM13c

    This is going to be a multi-post series, (I have so many of those going, you’d hope I’d finish one vs. going onto another one and coming back to others, but that’s just how I roll…:)) As I now have access to the Oracle Public Cloud, (OPC) I’m going to start by building out some connectivity to one of my on premise Enterprise Manager 13c environments.  I had some difficulty getting this done, which may sounds strange for someone who’s done projects with EM12c and DBaaS. Its not THAT hard to do, it’s just locating the proper steps when there…

    EM13c DBaaS, Part 2, Thin Clone Issues

    I’ve been working on a test environment consisting of multiple containers in a really cool little setup.  The folks that built it create the grand tours for Oracle and were hoping I’d really kick the tires on it, as its a new setup and I’m known for doing major damage to resource consumption… 🙂  No fear, it didn’t take too long before I ran into an interesting scenario that we’ll call the “Part 2” of my Snap clone posts. Environment after Kellyn has kicked the tires. In EM13c, if you run into errors, you need to know how to start…

    EM13c DBaaS, Part 1 On-Premise and the Test Master

    With EM13c, DBaaS has never been easier.  No matter if you’re solution is on-premise, hybrid, (on-premise to the cloud and back) or all cloud, you’ll find that the ability to take on DevOps challenges and ease the demands on you as the DBA is viewed as the source of much of the contention. On-Premise Cloning In EM13c, on- premise clones have been built in by default and easier to manage than they were before.  The one pre-requisite I’ll ask of you is that you set up your database and host preferred credentials for the location you’ll be creating any databases…
