Turkish Oracle Users Came Together at TROUG Day 2012

On October 11th (last Thursday), more than 150 Turkish Oracle Users came together at TROUG Day 2012. It was held at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul. In my opinion, Bahçeşehir University is a great place to host these kind of events. They have great conference rooms, and it’s very easy to reach to the campus because of its centralized location.

This year, we asked Syed Jaffar Hussain (OCM, Oracle ACE Director, and DBA of the year 2011) to come and make our keynote speech. Syed Jaffar is very kind and friendly, and we all pleased to see them in Turkey. After his very detailed and interesting presentation about new features of Oracle 11gR2, DBA and Developer tracks started in different conference rooms. On DBA track, Husnu Sensoy took the stage and spoke about how to design a design for a million TPS.

Upgrading Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c R1 (12.1.0.1) to 12c R2 (12.1.0.2)

In my blog post about the release of EM12c R2, I told that I will test to upgrade my current EM12c, so here’s the blog post I promised: As you may know, Oracle offers only the 1-system upgrade method for EM12c R2. I started with backing up my EM12c R1 (+ BP1) environment (DB, OMS), then I downloaded EM12c R2 installation files.

I created a directory, moved the installation files there and then unzipped the files:

I logged in as SYSMAN to repository database and checked if the tables in the Management Repository do not have any snapshots created:

As you see there were no snapshots. According to the upgrade document, if there are snapshots, I should drop them. While my OMS is still running, I run the following command to copy EMKEY to repository database:

Create AWR Reports and Send Them via Email (RAC Compatible)

In one of my old posts, I tried to explain how to create AWR and ADDM reports by PL/SQL and send them as email. One of my reader asked me how to run them in RAC environment. As I see, my script for ADDM is already compatible but AWR was not, so I added 1-2 lines to make it compatible, and wanted to share it:

It sends one email for each instance. So you get 3 emails if you have 3-node RAC. It doesn’t seem quite right to me, so I modified the code to send these reports as attachments in one mail:
