IT Costs and Licensing are no longer topics reserved only to CIOs or IT Managers

All members of IT organization must be aware of financial impacts of the deployed solutions

Deploying IT Infrastructure without understanding the relation between Licenses (costs) and provided output is not possible anymore

IT infrastructure and development teams should be able to propose the best matching solution according to the business needs (SLA)

Oracle Standard vs. Enterprise Edition

Why pay for features which are not used ?

> On Demand software

> Pay as you grow

Standard Edition might be an alternative to Oracle Enterprise Edition

Standard Edition = pay what you need (not pay less!)

SE vs EE comparison will be performed based on:

> Features

> Backup Recovery

> Monitoring

> Performance management

This presentation won’t state that “SE is good enough”

Basic RMAN features available

> Online DB backup

> Catalog management

> DB, tablespace, and database restore & recovery

All DMK_DBBACKUP scripts are supported with Oracle Standard Edition

Main RMAN limitations are:

> No parallel backup (limited to one RMAN channel) - do not underestimate this point

> No Incremental backup possible (no block change tracking available)

> No block media recovery

Diagnostic pack cannot be used for Standard Edition database monitoring

It must be licensed according to the metric of the Oracle Enterprise Edition licensing model (used for the DB/items to monitor)

Diagnostic pack is required for event notification:

> http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/diagnostic-pack-11g-ds-068465.pdf

> Oracle Diagnostics Pack 11g extends this alerting capability by allowing administrators to be notified when they are away from their desks. Enterprise Manager’s Notification Methods allow administrators to specify different mechanisms for sending notifications, including e-mail, SNMP traps and running custom scripts or PL/SQL procedures

Monitoring (1)

11.11.2014


Page 19

http://www.oracle.com/us/products/enterprise-manager/diagnostic-pack-11g-ds-068465.pdf













Diagnostic pack is also required for AWR accesses (whatever the method):

> “Oracle 11g Diagnostics Pack, therefore, includes a built in repository within every Oracle 11g Database, called Automatic Workload Repository (AWR)”

> “Any and all methods of accessing Oracle Diagnostics Pack functionality, whether through Enterprise Manager Console, Desktop Widgets, command-line APIs, or direct access to the underlying data, requires an Oracle Diagnostics Pack license."

Other basic administration tasks through EM 12c or Dbconsole are however possible with Standard Edition

Nagios overview

> Nagios Core (basic framework to monitor IT components) is Open Source and free

> Provided with basic GUI

> Nagios XI provides advanced GUI to configure and the Nagios framework

> Nagios Core is configured manually (config. files)

Advantages

> Out of the box basic monitoring concepts (probe evaluation, alerting)

> Lots of plugin provided out of the box and customization possible

> Nagios support available through licensing (min. 2000$)

Usage @ dbi services

> Used to monitor customers without monitoring solution (SE or no Diag.)

> Provided with best practices and templates

> Can be deployed through an appliance

Monitoring (3) – Nagios

11.11.2014


Page 21


> Monitoring Host (check_nrpe) = perl script which connects to the agents

> Agents (NRPE) start the probes/plugin evaluations of the services

> Nagios core compares the probes with the thresholds and alerts

Performance Feature differences:

> No Incremental and parallel Backup / Recovery

> No parallel :

> Query / DML

> Data Pump / Export / Import

> Statistics Gathering

> Index Build

> Optimized Indexes (Bitmapped)

> Result Cache

> Infiniband Support

No tuning pack can be used for SE

> SQL profiles and baselines (part of the Tuning Pack)

12c SQL Plan directives work on both EE and SE

12c Adaptive query optimization is only available on EE

Statspack & Spviewer (http://www.spviewer.com)

dbi services focuses on Ligthy (http://www.orachrome.com)

> Easy to install: no repository, no server, no agent. Just unzip and connect through thin jdbc

> No need to be granted DBA role, select any catalog is sufficient: can be used by developers

> Highly customizable (palette of gadgets)

> Ability to view the history through Statspack or AWR

> Ability to view real time from v$views

> Many reports to browse between statistics, sessions, statements, segments...

> No need for diagnostic pack, can simulate ASH

> Very active project: lot of new functionalities in just one year affordable price

The High Availability solution should depend on the RPO/RTO definition

Sometimes EE is not useful and not necessary, for instance:

> RPO and RTO: 15 minutes

> Maintenance window available each week-end, therefore no online operation required

See next presentation "Dbvisit Standby": basic Oracle Data Guard features (Failover - Switchover - minimal data loss)

Due to the numerous feature differences such a migration is not straight forward at all!

dbi services has several practical experience of such projects

Enterprise Licenses are not "downgradable": New SE licenses must be acquired

The Full-Import method through Data Pump is not advised:

> Lots of "base" Enterprise Edition privileges will be missing in Standard Edition (FLASHBACK privileges, OLAP privileges, aso…)

> The DBMS_STATS package will be invalidated (packages are different due to feature differences)

> Some errors related to the resource manager will occur

> and so on ...

Tips & Tricks – EE to SE migration (1)

11.11.2014


Page 45


dbi services used the following migration method:

> Create SQL DDL scripts to create all required components from the source DB:

> Application profiles

> Application roles and grants

> Application public synonyms

> Grant to object privileges

> Application context

> Create the tablespace on the destination DB

> Create the application roles and grant the privileges to these roles

> Create the application user profiles & application context

> Import the application Schema (user containing data)

> Create other Oracle users

> Starts object grants DDLs

> Create the public synonyms

Choosing an Oracle Edition should be done carefully

> Availability needs? (RPO / RTO / online operations / possible downtimes)

> Performance needs? Parallel operations?

> Are some specific options needed?

Lots of “missing” features in SE can be implemented through other ways:

> Monitoring through Nagios

> Performance management through Lighty

> HA through through Dbvisit

Do not underestimate this choice :

> Licensing guide : 70 pages

> Oracle LMS-Partner : 2 days

dbi services supports lots of productive customers with SE
