What is Embedding

Embedding is

Packaging a component within an application or product so that it becomes completely encapsulated by the application as seen by the end user. On going operation, administration and maintenance becomes transparent to the end-user as well.

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Why Embed a Database?

Easier when doing multiple installs that are similar Leverage all the benefits of an Oracle database in a completely seamless manner Invisible deployment to the end user Lights-out administration required Cost benefits as relates to TCO

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

The Challenges

Embedding Oracle Software poses challenges in three areas:

Deployment: Should be easy and seamless Day-to-day administration: No onsite DBA available to manage database Software maintenance and support: Should be timely, simple and efficient

How to Deploy an Embedded Database

How to Embed: Invisible deployment with application install process

Prepare staging/source:

Install Oracle Database Apply relevant patches Create database objects Create Database template Archive and compress the Oracle Home Include your database template Install cloned Oracle Home Silent network configuration Silent Database creation

Package:

Install at the target:

Invisible Deployment:
Step 1 Preparation at Source

Install Oracle Database in your staging/source environment Patch source database to required patch level

Create database objects, jobs Setup the application database as required

Tablespaces Users Seed data

Invisible Deployment:
Step 2 - Packaging

Use DBCA to create template from source database Archive and compress the Oracle Home

tar, gzip, winzip etc.

Include your database template within the compressed archive

Archive must not include *.log, *.dbf, tnsnames.ora, listener.ora, sqlnet.ora

Integrate with your application package

Step 2: Packaging Oracle Home (contd.)

The Oracle Home in your staging area is now ready to be packaged Any archival utility can be used e.g.
tar, winzip, gzip $ tar -cvf $ORACLE_HOME/ cloned_home.tar

Make sure to include the database template just created Optionally the archived home can be compressed for saving space. Package this archive with your install process

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Invisible Deployment:
Step 3 Installation at Target

Complete pre-requisites

OS patches, kernel parameters, user & groups etc. Fixup scripts generated may be used Oracle Validated RPM setup -silent -clone ... netca /silent /responsefile ...

Install cloned Oracle Home

Silent network configuration

Silent Database creation

using template created in step 2 dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName ...

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Installing The Oracle Home - Cloning

Move archive to destination and extract from archive $ export ORA_BASE=/u01/app/oracle/11.2.0 $ export ORA_HOME=$ORA_BASE/dbhome_1 $ mkdir -p $ORA_HOME $ tar -xvf ~/Desktop/cloned_home -C $ORA_HOME $ ORA_HOME/perl/bin/perl $ORA_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl ORACLE_BASE=$ORA_BASE ORACLE_HOME=$ORA_HOME OSDBA_GROUP=dba OSOPER_GROUP=oper -defaultHomeName

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Configure Network On Target

Call NETCA in silent mode to configure your Oracle Net Services $ export ORA_BASE=/u01/app/oracle/11.2.0 $ export ORA_HOME=$ORA_BASE/dbhome_1 $ ORA_HOME/bin/netca /silent /responsefile $ORA_HOME/network/install/netca_typ.rsp

Can supply custom response file with port, listener name, etc.

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Configure Database On Target

Call DBCA in progress only or silent mode to create your database export ORA_BASE=/ u01/app/oracle/11.2.0 export ORA_HOME=$ORA_BASE/dbhome_1 $ORA_HOME/bin/dbca -silent -createDatabase -templateName MyEmbeddedDB.dbc -gdbname "orcl.mydomain.com" -sid "orcl" -sysPassword "oracle" -systemPassword "oracle" dbca help for more options

Automatic Space Management

Use Locally Managed tablespaces with autoallocate, auto-extend, automatic segment space management
No more external defragmentation required No more extent management

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Oracle Managed Files

Oracle Managed Files (OMF) simplify file administration by eliminating the need to directly manage the files in an Oracle database Eases development of portable applications Reduces corruption caused by specifying the wrong file names Reduces wasted disk space consumed by obsolete files This feature has two major thrusts:
Allows database objects to be created without specifying the underlying operating system files Automatically removes obsolete data files and online redo logs

Defining Oracle Managed Files Two basic configurations exist to establishing OMF:
Setting two dynamic initialization parameters: DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST: Defined for datafiles DB_CREATE_ONLINE_LOG_DEST_N: Defined for online redo logs and control files Setting one dynamic initialization parameter DB_CREATE_FILE_DEST All files are located in one location Example

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest='/bdu/o10g/dbs'; SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET db_create_file_dest='/bdu/o10g/dbs'; System altered. System altered.

Automatic Memory Management in 11g

Unifies system (SGA) and process (PGA) memory management Dynamic parameters for all database memory: MEMORY_TARGET MEMORY_MAX_TARGET Automatically adapts to workload changes Maximizes memory utilization Available on:
Linux Windows Solaris HPUX AIX

O/S Memory O/S Memory SGA

SGA

PGA PGA

Automatic Undo
Use Automatic Undo Retention Tuning
Dynamically tunes the retention of undo information based on available resources and user activity Superior transaction undo optimization More efficient space utilization of Undo tablespace

High Availability for an Embedded Database

Automatic Backup and Recovery

Use RMAN Use OS or Oracle Scheduler to configure regular, scheduled, online backups Use Fast Recovery Area for ondisk backups
Database Area Recovery Area Tape

Nightly Apply of Incremental Backup

Weekly Archive to Tape

Recovery Area is selfmanaging: old files aged out, current files maintained Configure by setting parameters:
DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Automatic Backup and Recovery

Perform incremental backups
Only changed blocks backed up -- fast and space efficient Backed up files can be merged with the original

RECOVER COPY OF DATAFILE <datafile# or name>

You perform a full database backup only once! EE: Block change tracking can be enabled:

High Availability options: RAC Real Application Clusters protects from instance failure, scalability and performance Oracle Clusterware maintains cluster membership, performs health checks and restarts failed services. ASM Automatic Storage Management Can be embedded using cloning procedures for Clusterware, ASM and RAC 1-node cluster can be the source for n-node target cluster.

High Availability Options: Data Guard

Data Guard protection from disaster scenarios Transactionally consistent standby database automatically maintained Standby setup can be completely scripted using software cloning and through RMAN scripts from active instance Automated Fast Start Failover for automatic failover to standby database

2009 Oracle Corporation Proprietary and Confidential

Maintenance & Support Patch Management

Use ECM Patch Wizard for Automatic identification of customers where particular patch is applicable Automatic identification of patches applicable to a given customer Download relevant patches Patch can be placed on ISV website or on a CD for end-customer download/application ISVs can put a wrapper around the patch for silent application where applicable

System Upgrade
Use DBUA to perform silent upgrades Upgrade process can be customized XML files used to drive upgrade process Scripts can be added Implement best practices (pre-upgrade database backup, replacing obsolete parameters, verify successful completion)

Error Diagnosis In An Embedded Database

Server Generated Alerts to diagnose non-performance problems

Notify offsite DBA, take corrective action via fix-it jobs (EM) AWR Baselines and adaptive thresholds

Provide interface to views for problem diagnosis

DBA_ALERT_HISTORY, DBA_OUTSTANDING_ALERTS

ADRCI Auto. Diag. Repository Command-line Interface

Create incident package based on time interval alert log, trace files, dump files Batch mode, scripted

Conclusion

Oracle Database
is easy to deploy is self-managing provides easy problem diagnostic capability makes software maintenance simple and straightforward

Oracle Database is ideal for embedding within your application
