High Availability Demonstrations demo Oracle Active Data Guard 11g
This demonstrates the benefits of using a synchronized physical standby database that is open read-only to offload ad-hoc queries and reporting from your production database, thus achieving scalable performance and fast, predictable response times for read-write business transactions. Click on demo link to start the demo in your browser using flash and manually advance through several introductory slides.  When the actual demonstration begins it will automatically run through to completion. Click here for the complete MAA best practices presentation that complements this demonstration and includes the experiences of Amazon.com with Oracle Active Data Guard 11g.


demo Data Guard Fast-Start Failover - Automatic Database Failover for High Availability in an MAA configuration
This demonstrates automatic failover between an Oracle RAC primary database and an Oracle RAC standby database in an MAA configuration.  Following failover, the original primary is automatically reinstated as a standby database, and automatically resynchronized with the new primary database.  Thus high availability and maximum data protection are achieved during a site failure with zero manual intervention required. The demo automatically runs in your browser when you click on the demo link - use the control's at the bottom of the demo screen if you prefer to manually advance the demo.  Click here for the accompanying presentation that includes the production experiences of Amazon.com with Data Guard Fast-Start Failover.

Database Rolling Upgrades using Physical Standby Databases - Oracle Database 11g
This demonstration shows how to easily convert a physical standby to a transient logical standby database and effect a rolling database upgrade. The standby database will revert to its original state as a physical standby database once the upgrade is complete - through use of the KEEP IDENTITY clause, new in Data Guard 11g. This benefits physical standby users who wish to execute a rolling database upgrade without investing in redundant storage that would otherwise be needed to create a logical standby database. This process utilizes SQL Apply in a very limited way - as the method to resynchronize the standby database following its upgrade to the new release and to maintain synchronization until it first assumes the primary production role.  The original primary database (now a standby) is then upgraded to the new release via the redo stream using Redo Apply (the physical standby apply process).

Extended Datatype Support for SQL Apply and Streams
Extended Datatype Support (EDS) enables SQL Apply and Streams to replicate changes to tables that contain datatypes not natively supported from one database to another.  Without EDS, only the tables that contain natively supported datatypes can be replicated.

demo Online Patching with Oracle Database 11g 
This demonstrates a patch being applied online to Oracle Database 11g in order to achieve continuous and uninterrupted database service.

demo E-Business Suite Site Failure - Automatic Application and Database Failover
This demonstrates a completely automated site failover for an MAA configuration of E-Business Suite Release 12 running under load.  Data Guard Fast-Start Failover automates database failover. A role change trigger fires at failover time - and executes an E-Business Suite failover script that removes the topology, runs AutoConfig on the database and application tiers, and restarts the application.  The network is switched via a DNS push, users are routed to the new production site and login. The demo automatically runs in your browser when you click on the demo link - use the control's at the bottom of the demo screen if you prefer to manually advance the demo. Click here for the accompanying presentation that provides more details of the MAA best practices utilized in this demonstration.


demo Siebel 8.0 RAC Instance Failover
This demonstrates Siebel 8.0 running under load on a two-node Oracle RAC cluster.  The Oracle instance on the first node is aborted - and the demonstration shows the surviving instance perform recovery, Siebel Servers reconnect automatically are are routed to the surviving instance, Oracle Transparent Application Failover reconstructs the database sessions and users continue processing. RAC node failure is transparent to the Siebel user. The demo automatically runs in your browser when you click on the demo link - use the control's at the bottom of the demo screen if you prefer to manually advance the demo. Click here for the accompanying MAA best practices presentation.


demo Siebel 8.0 Site Failover - Automatic Application and Database Failover
Similar to the E-Business Suite Site Failure demonstration above, this demo simulates site failure when both primary RAC instances are powered down.  Data Guard Automatic Failover the transition of the standby database at the remote site to the production role.  The role change to production fires a trigger that executes the Siebel failover script. Sieble Gateway, Siebel Servers and Web Servers are started and client connections are switched to the standby site through DNS push.

Siebel 8.0 - Transparent Database Upgrade
The Siebel database is upgraded to a new Oracle release using Data Guard SQL Apply rolling database upgrades.  First a SQL Apply standby database is upgraded to the new release.  Then Oracle Transparent Application Failover (TAF) is used during the switchover to the upgraded database, eliminating the need to restart Siebel.  Siebel users only see a slight pause in processing, then resume work on the new production database operating at the new Oracle release.

Data Recovery Advisor - Repair Block Corruption & Missing Files
This demonstrates how easy it is to automatically detect and repair database failures with the Data Recovery Advisor (DRA) in Oracle Database 11g. DRA eliminates the DBA time spent analyzing failures and planning an appropriate recovery strategy, by automating the entire process. The first scenario shows how DRA minimizes overall recovery time by automatically identifying block corruptions in real-time and recommending an appropriate recovery strategy. The second scenario shows how DRA facilitates with recovering a down database, by automatically detecting all missing files and recommending a recovery strategy. Click here for more information on DRA and other Backup & Recovery technologies.
