Getting value from IoT, Integration and Data Analytics
Since a few months I’ve been involved in working with git to save our Infrastructure as Code in GitHub. But I don’t want to have to type in my password every time and do not like in clear text saved passwords, so I prefer ssh over https. But when working […]

0 In this post I will explain how to create your own ACFS file system (on the command line) that you can use to (temporarily) store data. So you have this brand new ODA X6-2M and need to create or migrate some databases to it. Thus you need space to store […]
0 0 In this sequel of part one I will show how you can upload your own (Oracle) Linux 7 image in the IAAS Cloud of Oracle. This post will use the lessons learnt by using AWS which I described here. The tools used are: VirtualBox, Oracle Linux 7, Oracle IAAS Documentation […]
0 0 I always like to know what is installed in the servers that I need to use for databases or Weblogic installs. Whether it is in the Oracle Cloud or in any other Cloud. One way to know is to build your own image that will be used to start your […]
0 0 Recently (October 2016) I had the opportunity to attend an Oracle Compute Cloud workshop that was very interesting. As a side effect I got access to the Cloud for a month thus I could experiment with the Cloud outside the workshop as well. I’ve had some experience with Amazon EC2 […]
0 0 When you happen to have a customer that want’s to use Data Guard on Oracle RAC without a license for Active Data Guard then you might want to read this post. You probably have searched on the internet (just like I did) and already found this nice post from Uwe: http://uhesse.com/2013/10/01/parameter-to-prevent-license-violation-with-active-data-guard/ […]
0 0 Recently I came across the situation where I knew for a fact that my sessions to the database were dead because I pulled the power plug out of my application server for a failover test. But the sessions stayed visible in the database and kept their locks therefore the failover failed. Now how […]
0 0 In my recent post I already mentioned it a little bit: Integrating your manual Data Guard Broker configuration in OEM Cloud Control can become a sort of climbing a Mountain. And it doesn’t have to be. But first a short description of the situation. I have a working Data Guard broker […]
0 0 The last few months I’ve been working with Oracle Data Guard, reading lots of manuals and (parts of) books, to make smart decisions and get a solid foundation. I consider myself part of the people who like to work with the command line. That way you really get to understand what […]
0 0 Imagine this: You have consolidated you applications into one database (version 10gR2). You take a full backup every Tuesday and Thursday evening and an archivelog backup every few hours. These backups go to an NFS share, and not straight to tape. Everything is running fine until one day a new […]
0 0 Today was the first day of the two day Masterclass “Understanding Storage” by James Morle at AMIS. After having reserved my participation in this Masterclass on March 12th, the first day has finally arrived. My colleague Marco Gralike already blogged about the contents of this Masterclass therefore I will not […]
0 0 I’ve been using RAC (10gR2) for years now and I was wondering how RAC One Node differs from RAC. That’s why I used a few ‘old’ RAC servers that we had ‘laying’ around to install a RAC One Node Cluster. I also used that cluster to get some hands on […]
0 0 A few years ago I was lucky to be able to start working for a client that has Oracle RAC clusters. There we encountered lot’s of interesting issues, and one of them was that several client applications couldn’t seem to connect to the RAC cluster whenever a service was failed […]
0 0 Recently I found myself in the situation that we had gotten an incident about some application that couldn’t print anymore to the printers it was printing before. This was a big issue and we had to work on it immediately, since it had to be fixed yesterday. Sounds familiar? Apparently […]
0 0 Cary mentioned at the start of his presentation “Measure Once, Cut Twice” that he succeeded in one of the few goals for today: Getting up in time.
0 0 Just a short impression of a few sessions today, and the day isn’t even over… I’m really loving it being here and seeing all these people thinking and acting about Performance Alex Gorbachev – Workload Management with Oracle RAC This presentation contained a lot of demo’s on Alex’s MacBook, so […]
0 0 Hotsos 2008, first day of the symposium Today I had to make some difficult choices: There are too many presentation to see or just not enough me to go around. Finally I choose to attend: The Keynote by Cary Millsap Semantic Query Optimization by Toon Koppelaars Leveraging Oracle’s Extended SQL […]
0 0 It was supposed to happen in 2007, but due to some private issues I never made it to Hotsos that year. I have been wanting to attend since several years but was not succesfull in talking my (former) employer(s) into it. Actually the lack of growth in a professional way […]
