Improve performance and lower costs of your Oracle Applications with Application Resource Management (1073k)Oracle Application customers including
Sun Microsystems, Applied Materials and Tektronix have adopted a new best
practice in their Oracle application environments called Application Resource
Management (ARM). ARM is a new class
of application aware infrastructure that monitors and manages data growth in
an application environment and takes action to maintain high service levels
of performance and stability. The
presentation will explain how ARM works and explain why leading enterprises
have adopted ARM to meet or exceed service levels in the face of
consolidations, data growth and regulatory compliance business
initiatives. Each of these business
initiatives has dramatic data growth implications. The presentation will include a discussion of the traditional
solutions (such as adding server and storage capacity) enterprises have used
to manage their Oracle applications--and why these short term solutions
ultimately fail to deliver long term results in these application
environments. Also, we will detail
the requirements for selecting ARM solutions – what to look for -- as well as
a roadmap for a successful implementation.
Case studies will be used to illustrate ARM practices at Sun, Applied
Materials, Tektronix and others, and will include descriptions of measurable
business improvements such as performance, stability, and cost savings.

Enforcing
Business Rules and Security in Oracle Applications. Two Approaches (545k)
Most businesses running
Oracle Applications have requirements to make changes to or restrict access
to standard Application Forms. First Approach: A custom
table driven application to store field and block properties, which are set
by the forms custom library at run time. Field and block properties are
grouped as rules and these rules can be assigned to the Site, Application,
Responsibilities, Users, or Profile. By using this approach you can make
forms look and behave differently for different users with out modification. Second Approach: A custom
table driven application to store table and column properties that are
enforced by simple database triggers generated by the application. Table and
column properties are grouped as rules and these rules can be assigned to the
Site, Application, Responsibilities, Users, or Profile. The database triggers
determine if a rule exists for the current user and will return a form error
message if the rule is violated. In addition to table and column properties,
SQL statements can be defined to enforce most any business rule |

Collaboration
Suite (2678k)
Email, voicemail, meeting
participation, calendaring and file sharing are critical activities of every
business. They create the communication and content management infrastructure
within a company. The ability to conduct business over many different
communication channels holds the promise of faster and more flexible
interaction with customers, partners and employees. Accepting the challenge
to provide this streamlined interaction requires integrated communications
systems based on a common technology infrastructure. Oracle satisfies this
demand by offering integrated email, voicemail, phone, fax, scheduling,
calendaring, real-time on-line meeting services and file management in a
single product, Oracle Collaboration Suite.
This session will be an overview of the Oracle Collaboration Suite
solution and how it provides a complete, integrated collaborative
environment. |

Database
Resource Manager: Another Tool in the DBA's Arsenal (937k)
The main goal of the Database Resource
Manager is to give the Oracle DBA more control over priority of jobs CPU
usage thus better managing the server. The Oracle Database Resource Manager
includes a scheduling mechanism that keeps track of CPU time consumption and
performs scheduling decisions at fixed time-intervals. It also contains a
mechanism to control the number of concurrently active sessions. Once all
active session slots are filled, subsequent sessions attempting execution
will be queued and let into the system as other active sessions finish their
work. The Resource Manager also
allows the administrator to set scheduling policies based on the predicted
execution time of a query (e.g. only run very long queries in a low priority
group or not at all). The presentation will review the use of the Resource
manager and present a short case study.
