Unfortunately\, such stories are typically situations which are critical for the business they effect\, often with associated CNN moments. Part 1: 'What not to do' uses anonymous examples of real issues\, describing not just the cause itself\, but also how it was found\, the Solaris tools used and what to look for in the output to get to root cause. Part 2: 'What to do' examines good practice on Solaris 10 and 11 systems for performance and application optimization and using observed system behaviour to guide appropriate tuning. Clive King Dr. Clive King is a Senior Staff Engineer in Oracle's Solaris Revenue Product Engineering organisation. His main role is the diagnosis of performance and availability issues where the subsystem at fault is not obvious\, often for issues raised to executive management. Prior to working in Engineering\, he spent 13 years in Sun Support Service. Prior to this\, he worked on Cray Supercomputers and as a University researcher using novel Artificial Intelligence techniques to detect fraudulent loan applications. His free time is spent fell running and fixing bugs in the mdb kernel debugger.  Register now!    If you would be interested in speaking please submit an Abstract LOCATION:Oracle City Offices, One South Place, London, Birmingham, United Kingdom, EC2M 2RB URL:http://mokum.com/event/ukoug-solaris-sig-meeting-9/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120418T180000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120418T210000 DTSTAMP:20120518T200911 CREATED:20120402T161842 LAST-MODIFIED:20120402T161842 UID:2135@http://mokum.com SUMMARY:UKOUG Solaris SIG Meeting DESCRIPTION:'Solaris 11: Network Configuration Changes' One of the more interesting and complex areas of change in Oracle Solaris 11 relates to network configuration.

(1) Oracle also announced today that Oracle is placed in the Leaders Quadrant of the 2011 “Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning.” (2) According to Gartner\, leaders in Identity and Access Governance (IAG) are “composed of vendors that provide products with a good functional match to client requirements for establishing a governance system for access. These vendors have been successful in building an installed base and revenue stream within the IAG market\, and have a relatively high viability rating (because of IAG revenue). Leaders also show evidence of superior vision and execution for anticipated requirements\, as they relate to technology\, methodology or means of delivery. Leaders typically have significant market share\, strong revenue growth\, and demonstrated early customer satisfaction with IAG capabilities and/or related service and support.” Gartner describes leaders in user administration/provisioning as “high-momentum vendors (based on sales\, world presence and mind share growth)\, and they have evident track records in user provisioning across most\, if not all\, market segments. Business investments position them well for the future. Leaders demonstrate balanced progress and effort in the Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision categories. Their actions raise the competitive bar for all products in the market. They can and often do change the course of the industry.” Gartner Magic Quadrants position vendors within a particular market segment based on their completeness of vision and their ability to execute on that vision. Oracle Identity Analyticsdelivers the advanced access certification and intelligence business managers need to meet increasingly complex time-consuming compliance requirements with out of the box business friendly views and prioritized risk scoring dramatically reducing the time need to complete reviews. Integration with Oracle Identity Manager 11gmakes Oracle Identity Analytics the industry's only access governance solution that provides an accurate closed-loop remediation solution including advanced risk aggregation and controls for preventative segregation of duties. Oracle’s integrated platform approach to Identity Governance provides the advantages of better risk awareness and automated “closed-loop” remediation of improper rights and audit violations. Oracle Identity Manager 11g and Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite\, components of Oracle Identity Management 11g\, provide the industry’s most complete\, open and integrated Identity Management solutions to help organizations experience superior performance\, unmatched scalability and a significantly enhanced user experience. Oracle’s positioning in the Leaders quadrants for both User Provisioning and Identity and Access Governance provides customers with an integrated and complete solution to automate Identity Audit and Compliance.   Supporting Quote · “We believe that our innovative approach to Identity and Access Management\, which combines industry leading products\, produces a platform that is greater in value than the sum of the parts. We feel our leadership in both magic quadrants demonstrates that our investment in the integrated Identity platform is paying dividends for our customers. Customers adopting Oracle Identity Manager and Oracle Identity Analytics can have confidence that they have acquired two industry leading solutions that are engineered to work together which helps lower their total cost of ownership\," said Amit Jasuja\, vice president\, Oracle Security and Identity Management.   Supporting Resources Read Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance Read Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning About Oracle Identity Analytics 11g About Oracle Identity Manager 11g About Oracle Identity and Access Management Suite Oracle Identity Management 11g Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Join the Oracle Identity Management online communities: Facebook\, Blog and Twitter   (1) Gartner “Magic Quadrant for Identity and Access Governance\,” by Earl Perkins\, Perry Carpenter\, December 15\, 2011 (2) Garter “Magic Quadrant for User Administration/Provisioning\,” by Perry Carpenter\, Earl Perkins\, December 22\, 2011 About the Magic Quadrant Gartner does not endorse any vendor\, product or service depicted in its research publications\, and does not advise technology users to select only those vendors with the highest ratings.

Attend the half day seminar and see Solaris 11 Features in Action. A useful follow−on to the recent 'Solaris Technology Day' and 'Server Consolidation Masterclass' Modern businesses demand I.T. services with agility\, flexibility and 24 x 7 availability whilst being cost effective and future proof. A popular approach is to architect your data centre infrastructure to deliver a 'shared service' or 'private cloud'. This requires a different approach to provisioning\, monitoring and managing services in this agile architecture. Infrastructure components are evolving rapidly to deliver higher capacity and throughput. Application architectures are also becoming modular based on consolidated Java middleware and databases. Hardware and software components should be considered as a single service and the migration from development to test to production should be architected for a shared service environment. Solaris 11 is the 'engine' for this\, offering many new features to enhance the multi−tenancy and security of the world's most popular Enterprise UNIX Operating System\, using the latest Oracle SPARC or X86 servers and storage. Attend the half day seminar 'Accelerate Application Deployment with Solaris 11' and learn from leading Oracle experts how the entire application lifecycle can be optimised and see demonstrations of key technologies such as LDOMS\, Zones\, Network Virtualisation\, ZFS and Enterprise Manager Ops Center.

Attend the half day seminar and see Solaris 11 Features in Action. A useful follow−on to the recent 'Solaris Technology Day' and 'Server Consolidation Masterclass'. Modern businesses demand I.T. services with agility\, flexibility and 24 x 7 availability whilst being cost effective and future proof. A popular approach is to architect your data centre infrastructure to deliver a 'shared service' or 'private cloud'. This requires a different approach to provisioning\, monitoring and managing services in this agile architecture. Infrastructure components are evolving rapidly to deliver higher capacity and throughput. Application architectures are also becoming modular based on consolidated Java middleware and databases. Hardware and software components should be considered as a single service and the migration from development to test to production should be architected for a shared service environment. Solaris 11 is the 'engine' for this\, offering many new features to enhance the multi−tenancy and security of the world's most popular Enterprise UNIX Operating System\, using the latest Oracle SPARC or X86 servers and storage. Attend the half day seminar 'Accelerate Application Deployment with Solaris 11' and learn from leading Oracle experts how the entire application lifecycle can be optimised and see demonstrations of key technologies such as LDOMS\, Zones\, Network Virtualisation\, ZFS and Enterprise Manager Ops Center.

Many organisations have applications written in Oracle Forms\, which represent a large investment in both money and effort.   Perhaps those applications are looking a little tired.  Maybe they are creaking under the weight of too many modification.  Some systems may be no longer able to cope with  new requirements from users. The aim of the day will be to provide attendees  with a range of options for improving this situation.  Modernisation : enhance existing Forms with Java\, changing the look and feel\, introducing web services\, etc. Integration : using more recent technologies (ADF\, Apex\, SOA) for new applications and extensions which work with the old Forms systems. Migration : convert or replace Forms systems with systems in ADF or Apex.

This is a unique opportunity to attend an online Seminar with one of Oracle's most experienced Database experts consisting of three\, consecutive\, in depth two and half hour sessions. (Total: seven and half hours) Join us for this novel and original Celebrity Seminars right from your desktop. These highly advanced sessions will cover the following: Day 1: 3PM – 5:30PM CET - Performance Tuning: modern techniques using AAS\, ASH and OEM: Average Active Sessions (AAS)\, a single metric new on version 10g of Oracle\, allows easy monitoring and bottleneck detection of Oracle instances. AAS identifies clearly and quickly any kind of performance problem and Active Session History (ASH) provides the detailed drill down information to analyse and resolve it. ASH and AAS can be easily harnessed though OEM 10g or via scripts and other tools. In this session find out how AAS\, ASH and OEM can make you a performance-tuning guru or if you already are one how they can make your life easier. Day 2: 3PM – 5:30PM CET - Wait Events Explained: AAS and ASH are based upon the foundation of the Oracle Wait Interface. Oracle waits describe almost all possible bottlenecks in Oracle. In this session\, find out how to deal with the top 10 Oracle wait events from simple IO wait events such as 'db file sequential reads' to more complex issues such as 'buffer busy waits' and 'latch: cache buffers chains'. Day 3: 3PM – 5:30PM CET - SQL Tuning: Modern Techniques : AAS and ASH are good at finding system bottlenecks and identifying badly performing SQL\, but once a badly performing SQL is found\, what steps can be taken to improve the SQL performance? This session looks at modern tuning techniques based on dbms_xplan.display_cursor and extend rows source statistics\, and explains tuning by cardinality feedback and visual SQL tuning.

This is a unique opportunity to attend an online Seminar with one of Oracle's most experienced PL/SQL experts. The event will consist of three\, consecutive\, in-depth\, 2.5-hour sessions. (total duration: 7.5 hours). Join us for this innovative and informative virtual series of Celebrity Seminars from the comfort of your office. Each training session will give you the opportunity to gain in-depth insight into PL/SQL. These highly instructive sessions will cover the following topics: Day 1: 2:00PM – 4:30PM CET - Programming with Collections: Collections (array-like structures in PL/SQL) are critical data structures that are used in some of the most important features of PL/SQL. Every PL/SQL developer will be familiar with collections and the wide range of features that come with them. This session introduces collections and quickly moves on to detailed explanations of collection methods\, how to leverage string indexing in associative arrays\, multi-level collections\, set-level operations on nested tables and more. After attending this webinar\, you will be in a well-positioned to apply collections in your every day development and\, most important\, take advantage of features like BULK COLLECT and FORALL to improve application performance. Day 2: 2:00PM – 4:30PM CET - Say Goodbye to Hard-Coding in PL/SQL: Everyone knows that hard-coding is a bad idea. Many developers\, however\, think in terms of literal values when they think of hard-coding but there are many ways that hard-coding can manifest in our programs. This webinar offers a comprehensive review of all the types of hard-coding that can appear in your programs\, from literals to explicit declarations and exposed formulas\, and examines specific techniques to eliminate it. The resulting code is much easier to read and to maintain. After attending this webinar\, you will be able to easily and quickly identify hard-coding\, and apply techniques to remove hard-coding. Day 3: 2:00PM – 4:30PM CET - Dynamic SQL in Oracle PL/SQL: Dynamic SQL (construction\, parsing and execution of SQL statements and PL/SQL blocks at runtime) has become a common and critical element of most modern applications. PL/SQL offers two distinct methods for dynamic SQL: native dynamic SQL (NDS) and DBMS_SQL. This webinar focuses primarily on the capabilities of native dynamic SQL in using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to execute dynamic query\, DML\, and DDL statements. We also go beyond the basics and explore when to use DBMS_SQL (method 4 dynamic SQL)\, and new Oracle Database 11g features for dynamic SQL (most importantly\, interoperability between DBMS_SQL and NDS). After attending this webinar you will be able to quickly identify the type of dynamic SQL challenge you face and from there apply the correct PL/SQL functionality to get the job done.

Featuring live demonstrations of key virtualisation technologies\, we'll enable you to analyse your before and after scenarios from both a technical & financial standpoint. We've received great feedback from guests so far... 'Ldom Live migration demo was VERY exciting!' 'Real world case was very useful to provide context - great idea' 'Very impressive\, clear messaging! Enjoyable and very useful!' Read our Customer Testimonals here   Please join us at this free event and see for yourselves. This session is a great follow on for anyone who attended LDOM or ZFS Discovery Days. UNIX servers are typically used to deliver core business services in your data centres. The diversity & criticality of these servers has made them difficult to update\, replace or consolidate and this can lead to a reluctance to address this problem. Attend our Server Consolidation Masterclass and discuss with Oracle experts about UNIX estate transformation. You will: Review a case study of a typical commercial customer Learn high level knowledge about the key technologies that can be used\, such as Oracle VM\, Oracle Solaris Containers and ZFS See a transformed version of the case study architecture be developed Explore and discuss the business justification progression Learn about advanced and complementary technologies\, such as flash memory\, infiniband and cryptographic acceleration See demonstrations of key components such as Oracle Enterprise Management\, P2V transformation and warm migration of logical domains Now you can see this in action\, get detailed information on best practices and strategies.

We are currently looking into further consolidation and virtualisation of our server estate. The Masterclass gave us a good insight into how Oracle would do this. Why did you choose to attend the Oracle Server Masterclass? a) To provide us with up-to-date information on Oracle’s virtualisation hardware and migration plan b) The ability to ask the experts questions on consolidation What was your experience of attending the Masterclass? Very positive. What have been the benefits to you personally? a) A better understanding of Oracle’s offerings b) A clearer roadmap of Oracle’s approach c) Confirmation that other companies approach is similar to what Leeds City Council are planning What would you say to somebody who is thinking of attending? The Masterclass was perfectly pitched at the challenges ICT managers face when consolidating and virtualising. The masterclass wasn’t “just about technology”. It went through a mock consolidation project which highlighted the various challenges and obstacles that companies face when consolidating and how to overcome these. It demonstrated that most of the issues would not be the technology but the business buy-in\, TCO and migration strategy. This fitted in with what we have found at Leeds City Council. The presentation was very professional and it was obvious a lot of careful planning had gone into it. It was very impressive. Stewart Danks Switch Enhancement and Security\, Cable & Wireless Worldwide The answers below are Stewart’s personal views and do not officially represent any company view or policy. What made you decide to explore server consolidation and virtualisation? Our server estate has expanded over the years due to product growth and following acquisitions and mergers. We recently resurveyed the entire estate following a rearrangement of a key support contract. This highlighted some systems with low utilisation where economies could be made. Why did you choose to attend the Oracle Server Masterclass? Apart from possible internal consolidation projects\, there are applications in the realms of hosting as well as cloud computing\, this is a new and expanding product set for us and our customers. What was your experience of attending the Masterclass? As with most of the Oracle events I've attended\, it was a series of short informative sessions hosted by international experts in the subject. What have been the benefits to you personally? It provided an update on the technology paths and hints for building a business case for virtualisation. What would you say to somebody who is thinking of attending? If you look after more than one server\, then this will be of interest to you!       Register Now!

Initiatives on GP commissioning\, increased focus on Public Health\, regulation and accountability will all impact the way healthcare services are provided and health informatics will have to respond and react. The Health Informatics Congress in April 2011 is ideally timed for us to look at the emerging picture and map out the key lines of development for ICT services. A chance to ensure that there is "no decision about us\, without us".The Health Informatics Congress 2011 will continue to bring together key political\, government\, and NHS leaders as well as a range of clinicians and health informaticians to share the latest thinking\, mark out the road ahead\, and demonstrate leading edge solutions.
