Course Objectives
The purpose of this training course is to assist experienced Oracle database administrators and senior application developers to utilize the database features associated with change management to ensure proper application execution without disruption. Included among the subjects of this course are:
• Consider both the challenge and the necessity of changes to the systems infrastructure and how these can disrupt production applications.
• Review the goals of change management, change assurance and how these are implemented with Real Application Testing technology available with the Oracle 11g database.
• Learn how to perform the capture of a production database workload while not interfering with the applications or users involved.
• Learn how to replay the production workload on a test database configuration, providing a real-world test of how an actual application will function in an envisioned database configuration.
• Learn how to configure clients which will simulate the network interaction of real-world users in a test configuration.
• Perform a detailed analysis of application execution within proposed database configurations to assess whether the application performance will progress or regress as a result of the proposed change.
• Use the SQL Performance Analyzer tool to measure progression or regression of individual SQL statements under a proposed database configuration, providing a detailed level of change assurance before the change ever occurs .
