Reducing Downtime: Tools, Tips and Features


Tools, Features and Tips for Reducing Downtimefor Reducing Downtime

TIP #1: Use AutoPatch Like a Master Oracle Apps DBA


Execute AutoPatch Using Non-Interactive Mode

• User interaction is not required during patch

• Create the defaultsfileExecute AutoPatch using

What to Know What to Do

required during patch application

• AutoPatch information is

– Execute AutoPatch using defaultsfile option

– Type abort when prompted for patch directory

provided in a default file• Delays between

y– Verify defaultsfile exists

• Execute AutoPatch using dsuccessive tasks are

reducednoninteractive and defaultsfile options


Note 1078973.1

Execute AutoPatch Using Non-Interactive Mode

• User interaction is not required during patch

• After defaultsfile created, execute AutoPatch as follows:


required during patch application

• AutoPatch information is

execute AutoPatch as follows:$adpatch interactive=n \defaultsfile= \

provided in a default file• Delays between

$APPL_TOP/admin/prod_def.txt

successive tasks are reduced


Note 1078973.1

Execute AutoPatch Using Additional Options

• Options can be used with AutoPatch to optimize

• Example:$ adpatch \


AutoPatch to optimize deployment

• Many system tasks can

$ adpatch \options=nocompiledb, \nogenerate, nocompilejspy y

be deferred to the end of patching cycle


Note 1078973.1


TIP #2: Apply Merged Patches


Merge E-Business Suite Patches

• Multiple patches can be merged into a single patch

• Create merged patch1 Review patch readmes


merged into a single patch• AutoPatch overhead is

eliminated

1. Review patch readmes2. Create directories3. Unzip patches4. Run AD Merge Patch$admrgpch source_dir target_dir

5. Check log filesg


Note 228779.1

Merge E-Business Suite Patches

• Multiple patches can be merged into a single patch

• After patches are merged, execute AutoPatch to apply the


merged into a single patch• AutoPatch overhead is

eliminated

execute AutoPatch to apply the merged patch as follows:$adpatch

• When prompted, enter the merged patch name


Note 734025.1


TIP #3: Apply Patches Before

Taking Production DownTaking Production Down


Apply Patches to a Copy of ProductionStaged Applications System (APPL TOP)

What to Know What to Do• Patches are applied to a copy of

Staged Applications System (APPL_TOP)

• Clone production (staged area)Patches are applied to a copy of production (staged environment)

• Patches are applied while production is online

( g )• Apply patches to staged area• Take production offline, then update the

production databaseproduction is online• Database updates applied to

production requires downtime

production database$adpatch options=nocopyportion,\no generateportion

• Update production APPL_TOP• Synchronize patch history


Note 734025.1


TIP #4: Don’t Apply MLS updates If You Don’t Need To


Don’t Apply MLS Updates If You Don’t Need ToUse Lightweight MLS

• English User Interface• Data entered in relevant language

• Reports can be generated with the language data entered

Use Lightweight MLS

• Data entered in relevant language• Mixing Lightweight MLS and Full

MLS is not supported

g g• Disk space used for translations is

reducedA l bl d Li ht i ht• A hybrid of Lightweight MLS and

Full MLS for multiple languages is supported

• A language enabled as Lightweight MLS eliminates required NLS patch

• Base language must be English for Lightweight MLS


Note 1077709.1


TIP #5: Use Oracle Applications Manager (OAM)

for Patch Researchfor Patch Research


Use Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) to Review Patch Requirements and Log FilesPatch Requirements and Log Files

• Verify whether a patch has alreadypatch has already been applied

• Review AD Logs gof recent patch deployments



TIP #6: Apply Patches with the

Application Change Management Pack forApplication Change Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite


Apply Patches with the Application Change Management Pack

• Deploy E-Business patchespatches

• Deploy custom patchespatches

• Check prerequisites

• Order/Merge patches



• Centralized Dashboard to review, monitor and orchestrate custom changes



• Create AD compliant customization packages

• Over 200 file types supported• Compiles Java and PLD files

• Custom patches can be applied• Custom patches can be applied using Patch Manager

• Validate the custom files based on a set of standards

• Interface with Version Control systems

TIP #7:Ensure That Maintenance Doesn’t Break Anything


Execute AutoPatch Using Test Mode

• Review the effects of a patch prior to application

• Example:$ adpatch apply n


patch prior to application• Provides a list of each file

that will be copied,

$ adpatch apply=n

p ,relinked, executed or generated


Oracle E-Business Suite Patching Procedures, Part No. E12148-04

Execute AutoConfig Check Utility

• Review the affects of executing AutoConfig

• Example:$AD TOP/bi / d hk f h


executing AutoConfig• HTML file is generated by

the Check Config Utility

$AD_TOP/bin/adchkcfg.sh

• Review the HTML output cfgcheck.htmle C ec Co g U y g


Note 387859.1

Use the Patch Wizard to Review Patch Impact

• Impact Analysis on recommendedrecommended patch & prerequisites

• Analyze impact to customizationscustomizations


Use Oracle Applications Manager (OAM) to Register Customizations

• Register customized Oracle E-Business application files

• Determine impact to customizations with patch impactwith patch impact analysis



TIP #8:Expedite Multi-Node Maintenance

Note 236469.1

Expedite Multi-Node MaintenanceUse Distributed AD

• Available with Shared Application • On Primary Node: Execute the What to Know What to Do

Use Distributed AD

ppTier Filesystem

• Autopatch workers run in parallel on primar and secondar nodes

yAutoPatch with distributed option. Example:$adpatch orkers 8 \on primary and secondary nodes

• Time to complete AD tasks reduced

$adpatch workers=8 \

localworkers=3

• On remote nodes: Start• Better utilization of system

resources

• On remote nodes: Start AdController$adctrl distributed=y


Note 236469.1

Expedite Multi-Node MaintenanceUse AutoConfig Parallel Execution

• AutoConfig parallel • Execute AutoConfig on each node What to Know What to Do

Use AutoConfig Parallel Execution

g pexecution supported for all Release 12 versionsM i t d ti i

Execute AutoConfig on each node with parallel option. Example:$adconfig.pl -parallel

• Maintenance downtime is reduced

• 45% reduction in time to

adconfig.pl –parallel

run Autoconfig adconfig.pl –parallel

adconfig.pl –parallel


Note 387859.1


TIP #9:Use the Best Tools and Configuration to

Accelerate Maintenance TasksAccelerate Maintenance Tasks


Execute AutoConfig Performance Profiler

• An HTML report that includes timing

• Execute the Performance Profiler as follows:


includes timing requirements for AutoConfig execution

Profiler as follows:$adconfig.pl \

contextfile=$CONTEXT_FILE \• The output may be

reviewed and long running steps ma be t ned

-profile• Review the HTML output

steps may be tuned cfgcheck.html


Note 387859.1

Use OAM Timing Reports to Analyze Workers

• Review patch timing ginformation

• Review job jusage and performance

• Review detailed run information


Review AD_TASK_TIMING to Isolate Long Running Tasks

• Analyze long running tasks in AD TASK TIMING

• Example: SQL*Pl > l t d t


in AD_TASK_TIMING• Use MOS to check for

known issues and

SQL*Plus> select product, job_name, start_time, end_time, elapsed_time*24 as hours arguments fromo ssues a d

workarounds for long running jobs

hours, arguments from ad_task_timing where (elapsed time*24) > 1 order by hours desc;desc;


Review Performance with Database Diagnostic Tools

• Automatic Workload Repository (AWR)– Create snapshots during patching– Create report– Analyze results

• Active Session History (ASH)– Samples current state of all active sessions

C b d t l ifi k– Can be used to analyze specific worker


Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide 11gRelease 2, Part Number E16638-06

Modify Resources to Accelerate Execution Time

• Servers– Increase capacity (existing hardware)– Lease hardware– Add virtual servers

• Database– Modify SGA

Turn off archive logging– Turn off archive logging– Increase filesystem space – Increase tablespace allocation

Changing the Patching Paradigm

• Downtime PatchesNo online Users

• Online Patches– Users remain online– No online Users

– Wall clock time very important

– Users remain online

– Wall clock time is no longer an idiy p

– Consumes all resources

– Online Users share resources

– Upgrade designed to run as fast as possible
