Presentation Description
Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters
========================================
Oracle recently announced the next level in clustered databases,
with 9i Real Application Clusters. We will discuss its major advances
over Oracle Parallel Server, the capabilities of Real Application
Clusters in comparison with other database servers, and the technology
behind the scenes that makes it all work. This will be a high level
presentation, but we can dive down in response to your questions.
Did you know that the CAOUG supports 2 other lists?
caoug-discuss For Oracle related discussions/help
caoug-jobs For open positions and resumes
In fact I just added a listing for a Unix Administrator to caoug-jobs today. If you'd like to be on either list, just let me know and I'll be happy to add you.

Documentation is also included for most of these scripts. Before installing
or using any of these scripts, the documentation and the scripts themselves
should be reviewed and modified as appropriate.
Note that these scripts were designed for teaching purposes and may appear to
be a bit simplistic for advanced users. However, even advanced users
normally don't know everything there is to know about Oracle and I am sure
that everyone who explores these scripts will find a few "jewels" and new
techniques among them.

April CAOUG Meeting
========================================================
Customizations, Patches, Upgrades;
Managing Change at e-Business Speed
- presented by Brian Benham from Merant Corporation
========================================================

TIME: 11:30 am
PLACE: EnteGreat
LUNCH: Bring you own, including drink

Customizations, patches, upgrades; managing change at e-business speed.
Abstract:
Whether you're in maintenance mode or migrating to 11i, you've felt some pains
from patches, upgrades and setup changes. Manually managing customizations is
a difficult task. This paper will show that managing the effects and adoption
of change can be done at e-business speed through the use of Automated Processes.
Executive Summary:
Throughout the evolution of Oracle, companies have spent an enormous amount of
time either improving functionality within the standard Oracle Applications or
creating functionality that Oracle doesn't have through customizations. The
problem with customizations is the cost of ownership continues to increase with
each patch and/or upgrade that Oracle puts out. Falling behind on patches and/or
current releases can cause you to lose your support from Oracle, but installing
some of their patches can literally shut down your business for hours or days.
Companies are forced to apply patches that they know will affect more than what
they were designed to fix. Trying to identify the impact of a patch or upgrade is
like the proverbial needle in a hay stack. Companies spend large quantities of
time and resources trying to identify the impact of changes that come in the form
of patches, upgrades and customizations. The problem in the past is that this has
traditionally been done through manual processes, which generally prove less than
100% accurate. This paper focuses on a solution that offers automated processes
change within your Oracle environments. Automated processes eliminate the
problems associated with manual processes and provide better audit trail.
If you plan on attending, please email me your RSVP by 1:30 pm today. Thanks.
