Our talks and labs at OOW 2017

I have done another blog post a week ago – but just in case you missed it, these are our talks and labs at Oracle Open World 2017. Again, no marketing – but real customers with real experiences with Oracle Database 12.2 or huge >100TB migrations or the Cloud. Come and visit us:

Upgrade Team’s talks – with customers

Upgrade to Oracle Database 12c Release 12.2: Real-World Customer Cases

Alain Fuhrer, Oracle Database Administrator, Mobiliar Versicherungen AG
Mike Dietrich, Master Product Manager – Database Upgrades and Migrations, Oracle

Oracle Database Release 12.2 has been available for more than half a year on-premises, and there are customers already live in production on it. In this session Mike Dietrich from the Oracle Database Upgrade team quickly highlights the upgrade options, and then Swiss Mobiliar, the most trusted Swiss insurer, outlines its successful move to Release 12.2 with a multitenant production deployment of almost 100 pluggable databases.

Upgrade and Migrate to Oracle Database Cloud

Do you have databases you want to move to Oracle Database Cloud? There are several ways to complete such a migration, but which one is the best for you? In this session see the different paths, learn how to choose the right method for your situation, and get straightforward step-by-step instructions firsthand from the Database Upgrade and Migration Development team to ensure your successful migration to the Oracle Database Cloud. This session includes specific client use cases, migration scenarios, and benefits of migrating to Oracle Database Exadata Cloud Service.

Migrate a 100 TB Database Cross-Platform in Less Than a Day
Wednesday, Oct 04, 2:00 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. | Moscone West – Room 3004

Jay Barnhart, Architect, Centric Consulting LLC
Mike Dietrich, Master Product Manager – Database Upgrades and Migrations, Oracle

Do you have a large database? A VERY large database? And do you need to migrate it to a different platform? In this session learn about the right tools to ease your migration and keep the downtime as low as possible. Discover how Oracle Recovery Manager incrementally rolled forward backups combined with transportable tablespaces enable a smooth migration of databases even larger than 100 TB across platforms and endianness. Get a detailed explanation of the approach using Oracle’s PERL scripts from configuration to execution, and gain insights into two real-world migrations in the US and EMEA with databases larger than 100 TB, one using traditional transportable tablespaces and the other using Oracle Data Pump’s fully transportable Export/Import feature.

Upgrade and Migration Labs

Upgrade and Migrate to Oracle Database 12c Release 2
Monday, Oct 02, 11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. | Hilton San Francisco Union Square (Lobby Level) – Plaza Room A
Tuesday, Oct 03, 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. | Hilton San Francisco Union Square (Lobby Level) – Plaza Room A
Wednesday, Oct 04, 4:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. | Hilton San Francisco Union Square (Lobby Level) – Plaza Room A

Roy Swonger, Vice President, Database Upgrade & Utilities, Oracle
Mike Dietrich, Master Product Manager – Database Upgrades and Migrations, Oracle
Cindy Lim, Consulting Member of Technical Staff, Database Upgrade Team, Oracle

In this hands-on lab learn to upgrade a database from release 11.2.0.4 to release 12.2.0.1. Then convert this database to a pluggable database (PDB) and plug it into a multitenant container database (CDB). Lastly attendees migrate a second 11.2.0.4 database directly into a 12.2.0.1 PDB using the new Oracle Database 12c Full Transportable Export/Import feature. This is a great way to get hands-on experience with different upgrade and migration methods, all under the tutelage of Oracle’s database upgrade team.

CU you there 🙂
