Key features include Oracle home management, provisioning, patching, upgrading, and integration with REST APIs.
Automate Oracle database patches and upgrades using Fleet Provisioning and Pa...Nelson Calero
Each new version of the Oracle database includes improvements in the upgrade and patching utilities, forcing us to update our procedures to incorporate these changes.
The Fleet Provisioning & Patching (FPP, formerly RHP) utility, together with the change in its licensing announced at OOW 2019 that makes it free in RAC, now makes it possible to centrally manage the software life cycle.
This presentation shows examples of how to use FPP and different configuration options.
This version of "Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) 19c & Later – Best Practices" was first presented in Oracle Open World (OOW) London 2020 and includes content from the OOW 2019 version of the deck. The deck has been updated with the latest information regarding ORAchk as well as upgrade tips & tricks.
Oracle RAC is an option to the Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. At least, this is what it is known for. This presentation shows the many ways in which the stack, which is known as Oracle RAC can be used in the most efficient way for various use cases.
Rapid Home Provisioning is a new feature in Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c R2 that provides a simplified way to provision and patch Oracle software and databases. It uses a centralized management server and golden images stored on ACFS to deploy pre-packaged and patched Oracle homes to client nodes. Administrators can easily create working copies of golden images, deploy databases from the working copies, and seamlessly patch databases by moving them to a working copy based on a newer patched golden image with a single command.
The document discusses Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) and how it provides high availability and scalability for Oracle Database workloads. Oracle RAC uses a shared-nothing architecture with multiple independent database instances managing a shared database, and it leverages a cluster interconnect for communication between the nodes. Key features of Oracle RAC discussed include dynamic resource management for improved performance, hang detection and resolution capabilities, and service-oriented buffer cache access to optimize data access based on service location.
This document discusses Oracle Multitenant 19c and pluggable databases. It begins with an introduction to the speaker and overview of pluggable databases. It then describes the traditional Oracle database architecture and the multitenant architecture in Oracle 19c. It discusses the different components of a container database including the root, seed PDB, and application containers. It also covers how to create pluggable databases from scratch, through cloning locally and remotely, relocating PDBs, and plugging in unplugged PDBs.
"Extended" or "Stretched" Oracle RAC has been available as a concept for a while. Oracle RAC 12c Release 2 introduces an Oracle Extended Cluster configuration, in which the cluster understands the concept of sites and extended setups. This knowledge is used to more efficiently manage "Extended Oracle RAC", whether the nodes are 0.1 mile or 10 miles apart.
The presentation was last updated on August 7th 2017 to add a reference to the new MAA White Paper: "Installing Oracle Extended Clusters on Exadata Database Machine" - http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/availability/maa-extclusters-installguide-3748227.pdf and to correct some minor details.

- Transparent Application Failover (TAF) which automates reconnects for OCI clients and allows resuming queries after a failure.
- Application Continuity (AC) which records transaction state to allow replaying transactions after a failure, requiring code changes or a connection pool.
- Transparent Application Continuity (TAC) which provides the benefits of AC without requiring code changes for supported drivers.
- Connection managers like Traffic Director which can provide session failover without client changes by managing
... or why Oracle still cares about CMAN and why you should do it too
The Oracle Connection Manager (CMAN) is the Swiss-army knife for database connections. It can be used for security, routing, high availability, single-point of contact... Starting with Oracle 18c, it has been extended with the new Traffic Director Mode (CMAN TDM), that allows transparent failover for applications that do not implement it natively.
In this session I will introduce briefly what CMAN is capable of, how to configure it in a high availability environment, and how the new release achieves a higher protection level.
The document discusses how REST APIs and ORDS can help DBAs adopt more agile practices. It provides examples of how DBAs can expose database operations and metadata via REST endpoints to improve communication and automation between developers and DBAs. This includes endpoints for checking database connectivity, putting applications in maintenance mode, retrieving backup status, creating/deleting restore points, refreshing schemas, and more. The document argues that REST and ORDS can help make DBAs more agile by standardizing their operations and facilitating integration with other tools and services.

How to bake a Customer Story with With Windows, NVM-e, Data Guard, ACFS Snaps...Ludovico Caldara
This document describes a new solution implemented by Trivadis to address a customer's need to clone databases faster. The previous solution took 2 hours to clone a 300GB database. The new solution leverages Oracle Data Guard, NVM-e, ACFS snapshots, bash scripts, Linux, and Windows with Perl to enable cloning a database within minutes. Key aspects of the new architecture include using ACFS snapshots to quickly copy data, placing components like GRID infrastructure and databases on high-performance NVM-e storage, and automating the cloning process with scripts. This provides faster database clones while avoiding costly additional technologies.

ADAPTIVE FEATURES OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND TROUBLESHOOT THE BOMBLudovico Caldara
Oracle Database 12c became available to the public back in 2013, but it took more than one year for the
Oracle customers to start upgrading of their existing databases to this new release. Many customers, in
2016, are still not in the process of migrating to 12c despite the premier support deadline for Oracle
Database 11g has passed in January 2015.
I had the chance to spend the last two years by a customer who decided to embrace the new release
and start the migration to 12c as soon as possible, in order to take the most out of the (many) new
features that this release offers. When the very first production databases have been migrated to 12c,
the users began noticing quite soon that some queries started to take much more time to complete,
some of them were actually several orders of magnitude slower than before. After small investigation, I
understood that most off those queries have been slowed down by the new “Adaptive Features” that
have been introduced in 12c for the opposite reason: increasing performance. This is what this article
is about.
Are your Oracle databases highly available? You have deployed Real Application Clusters (RAC), Data Guard, or Failover Clusters and are well protected against server failures? Great – the prerequisites for a highly available environment are given. However, to assure that backend infrastructure failures also remain transparent to the client, an appropriate configuration is a prerequisite.
This lecture will discuss the Oracle technologies that can be used to achieve automatic client failover functionality. What are the advantages, but also the limitations of these technologies?
Adaptive Features or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Troubleshoot the Bomb.Ludovico Caldara
Adaptive Dynamic Sampling, Adaptive Execution Plans, SQL Plan Directives: these new features are the new performance troublemakers when migrating databases from 11g to 12c. The optimizer uses them to seek for the perfect execution plan, but does it always succeed? This session will focus on the first steps required to quickly troubleshoot performance issues due to the adaptive features.
DMU is the new tool introduced by Oracle for database conversion to the Unicode character set. Beside introducing briefly the tool, this session will focus on a real database conversion scenario faced by a customer, the problems encountered and the solutions.
Migrating to Oracle Database 12c: 300 DBs in 300 days.Ludovico Caldara
For a customer in Switzerland, we are in process of migrating 400 databases to 12c. We have migrated 300 so far, and we have had good and bad surprises. This session will show a few scenarios that we faced during the upgrade project.
The document discusses using Oracle ACFS (ASM Cluster File System) as a storage option for Oracle Database datafiles. It provides steps for creating an ACFS volume within an ASM disk group, formatting it, mounting it and confirming the mount. This allows configuring an Oracle database to use the ACFS volume for datafiles, enabling high-availability shared storage across nodes.
ORACLE 12C DATA GUARD: FAR SYNC, REAL-TIME CASCADE STANDBY AND OTHER GOODIESLudovico Caldara
The new release of Oracle Database has come with many new exciting enhancements for the High Availability.
This whitepaper introduces some new Data Guard features. Among various enhancements, special attention will be given to
the new Far Sync Instance and the Real-Time Cascade Standby.
Oracle RAC 12c and Policy-Managed Databases, a Technical OverviewLudovico Caldara
Oracle RAC Policy-Managed Database (PMD) is a powerful but so far rarely used feature introduced in Oracle Database 11g
Release 2 to automate the instance administration in a dynamic, multi-node cluster.
The aim of this presentation is to review how PMD works, how to implement and administer it successfully, and how to
benefit from this technology compared to the traditional administrator-managed deployment. During the session, the new
features of the 12c Grid Infrastructure related to PMD are highlighted.
[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Ivanti’s Patch Tuesday breakdown goes beyond patching your applications and brings you the intelligence and guidance needed to prioritize where to focus your attention first. Catch early analysis on our Ivanti blog, then join industry expert Chris Goettl for the Patch Tuesday Webinar Event. There we’ll do a deep dive into each of the bulletins and give guidance on the risks associated with the newly-identified vulnerabilities.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Programming Foundation Models with DSPy - Meetup SlidesZilliz
Prompting language models is hard, while programming language models is easy. In this talk, I will discuss the state-of-the-art framework DSPy for programming foundation models with its powerful optimizers and runtime constraint system.
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
