Oracle Open World 2016 – Upgrade Talks / HOL

Just a few weeks until Oracle Open World 2016 Conference will kick off. September 18-22, 2016 in San Francisco.

For us it is usually the most busiest week of the year. But also a great experience every year with so many good discussions and meetings. It’s very intense.

Since a few hours the OOW16 Session Catalog is online with the schedule (but it still misses the rooms).

This is the list of our talks and HOL sessions:

• Upgrade and Migrate to Oracle Database 12c: Live and Uncensored! [CON6068]
  • Monday, Sep 19, 4:15 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.  (Moscone South – 102)
    
  • This session introduces the new features in the next generation of Oracle Database. As an added bonus, you will see a live upgrade from Oracle Database 11g to the next generation of Oracle Database and also a live migration using the full transportable export/import feature, both in the span of 45 minutes.
    .
• Best Practice to Ensure Performance Stability When Upgrading Oracle Database [CON6069]
  • Thursday, Sep 22, 9:30 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.  (Moscone South – 302)
    
  • Nobody likes surprises when it comes to database upgrades and migrations. Because the upgrade or migration usually is not complicated by itself, the most important task is ensuring good performance afterward. This presentation discusses a straightforward, step-by-step approach to ensure not only plan stability but also proper testing; secret tweaks; and helpful tips and tricks around database upgrades and migrations. It spans the entire project lifetime, from things to do before approaching such a move to important settings in your new environment during or after the upgrade. Follow best practice and get the performance you expect.

  • Thursday, Sep 22, 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.   (Hotel Nikko – Bay View – 25th Floor)

• In this hands-on lab, learn about new ways to upgrade, migrate, and consolidate databases in Oracle Database 12c Release 2. Learn to • Upgrade a database to Oracle Database 12c Release 2 using the new command-line parallel upgrade script • Plug that database into an Oracle Database 12c Release 2 container database as a pluggable database (PDB) • Migrate a second database to a PDB, using the new Oracle Database 12c full transportable export/import feature The end result is a CDB with two PDBs, which is the first step toward database as a service (DBaaS) or toward building a private cloud.

CU soon 🙂
