The Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) is a major enhancement in ensuring database performance and availability introduced with the Oracle Database 12c Rel. 2. This session will explain and demonstrate how incorporating applied machine learning techniques in Oracle Cluster Health Advisor, Hang Manager and Trace File Analyzer, autonomously and automatically preserves availability SLAs especially in consolidated or cloud database deployments.

As IT infrastructure expands to new IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS platforms from multiple vendors, the surface area of risk and threats also increases. Meanwhile, security teams have to contend with silos of visibility and weak monitoring across distributed cloud assets. Unified security monitoring is critical to detecting modern threats that are rapidly evolving to exploit…

RMAN as most know it, is one of the most important utilities in a DBAs arsenal. In earlier releases it is fair to say that occasionally it did create havoc and some DBA's were afraid to use it. Is it too complex? “Backup database” - does not look to complex does it? In Oracle Database…

There are often challenges getting applications and clients to talk to our databases. This presentation teaches the basics of the Oracle Server networking by discussing the various components of OracleNet. We will discuss the various ways to connect to the database through the network and some tips to help simplify many of the challenges Oracle networking can pose. #IOUGeniusDBBeginner Certificate

Ever hear the phrase, "When I test, I test in production?" It can be a great way to test an upgrade or migration before you take the outage on your production system. In this session you will learn how the Electric Reliability Council of Texas not only reduced their outage window but also gained confidence…

This panel from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas show how they improved application resiliency by harnessing the features of Oracle 12c Real Application Clusters (RAC) and the Universal Connection Pool (UCP). The results of this project improved the ability for the application to continue during episodes of infrastructure outage.
