1 Sessions Related to Database High Availability Monday October Oracle Database 11g Internals: Auto Detect, Prevent and Repair Data Corruptions Monday 11:00 am Moscone South 102 As systems software, firmware, hardware become more complex with additional functionality, they are becoming more prone to data corruptions, resulting in extended service outages and data loss. In the public sector, this diminishes the ability to serve and protect. Also, the negative publicity impacts profit and share price. In this session, Oracle's High Availability Product Development team presents Oracle Database capabilities that either prevent corruption in the first place, or automatically detect and repair corruptions that make it through the first line of defense. This is a must-attend session for those interested in a deep dive discussion on Oracle database internals and how to use them to attain world-class availability.

Speaker: Donna Cooksey (Oracle) Oracle E-Business Suite's Use of Edition-Based Redefinition for Online Patching Tuesday 10:15 am Moscone South 307 Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12+ intends to bring near-zero-downtime patching. The hardest challenge is to change database objects while they are in use. Oracle Database 11g Release 2 brings a capability for exactly this purpose called edition-based redefinition (EBR). Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12+ intends to make full use of it. EBR adoption requires some changes to the design of an application's schemas, and then upgrade scripts must be written in a special new way. Adoption is done by an application's developers, but administrators of installed production systems will need a basic understanding of EBR to drive and monitor online upgrades at their sites. This presentation teaches Oracle E-Business Suite customers what they need to know about EBR.
