Agenda

Oracle Database 12c and Multi-Tenancy

4

• Dev/Test need to provision databases quickly with

minimum cost and administration

• SaaS – deploying multiple copies of the same

application within the business

• DBaaS – self-service provisioning of databases on a

private cloud

• Consolidation – using fewer, more powerful servers

• Simplifies admin – patching and backup/recovery at

the CDB level

• Provides greater flexibility

• Helps to reduce CapEx

Poll Question#2

Oracle Cloud Database Operations

13

1. Sign in to your

account.

2. Select “Oracle Cloud

Database Service”

3. Click “Create Service”

(DBaaS)

4. Note the requirement

for a VM Public Key

Creating an Oracle Database in the Oracle Cloud (1)

14

1. In PuTTY, click

“Generate” to create

your VM Public Key (to

create the database)

2. Move your mouse

around the screen to

generate a random

key.

3. Click “Save Private

Key”

Creating an Oracle Database in the Oracle Cloud (2)

15

1. Click on “Conversions” off the main

menu and “Export OpenSSH key”

2. Place the file in the same location

but with the SSH extension.

3. Select the public key text, right-click

and copy it then paste to text file

called Key.pub using Notepad.

4. In the DB Configuration page, click

“Edit” to specify the VM Public Key

5. Fill in the rest of the fields and you

should see this:

This may take a few hours…

Creating an Oracle Database in the Oracle Cloud (3)

16

1. Make sure you have your

private key handy

2. After the Cloud Database is

created, go to

https://dbaas.oraclecloud.com/d

baas/faces/dbRunner.jspx to

see a list of all your databases.

3. Clicking on one of them will

show you the details.

Connecting to an Oracle Cloud Database (1)

17

1. Use the displayed DB information to construct a TNSNames entry so

you can connect from your desktop client.

2. Use PuTTY to open a tunnel to the Oracle Database service• Type in plink -N -L <Local Port>:<remote host>:<remote port>

oracle@<remote host> -i <private key file> where:

<local port> is the port that you specified in your TNSNames.ora for that database.

<remote host> is the IP address that Oracle gave you for "Public IP address"

<remote port> is the port that Oracle gave you for "SQL*Net Port"

<private key file> is your private key file

3. DOS method is easier, but use GUI if you intend to repeat the process.

Connecting to an Oracle Cloud Database (2)

e.g. plink -N -L 9999:129.144.13.1:1521 oracle@129.144.13.1 -i C:\Keys\key.ppk

• Pre-requisites: Source/target CDB versions must be the same.

• Where is my Cloud CDB?

• From PuTTY:

• Clone the Source PDB. (Toad’s Database Browser)

Moving a Pluggable Database (PDB) to the Oracle Cloud (1)

lsnctrl status

19

Moving a Pluggable Database (PDB) to the Oracle Cloud (2)

Enter the name of the new database. Click Next, Next, Next

20

Moving a Pluggable Database (PDB) to the Oracle Cloud (3)

Click “Start it” to start the database.

PDB is now cloned. Need to unplug

from CDB before copying to cloud.

Unplug cloned PDB.

Drop unplugged PDB.

21

Moving a Pluggable Database (PDB) to the Oracle Cloud (4)

Copy files from on-prem to cloud.

Use an FTP client, or in this case – Toad!

Connect to cloud CDB.

Create PDB from XML file.

22

Moving a Pluggable Database (PDB) to the Oracle Cloud (5)

Fill in the blanks!

Actually, you only need to fill in the

first field. Toad does the heavy lifting!

Oracle performs a bunch of compatibility checks. You should see this:

Click “Execute” and you’re done!!

23

One-Step Schema Copy to an Oracle Cloud Database (1)

Objective:

Copy SCOTT schema from a private

database to Oracle Cloud database.

Pre-requisite:

Initial setup requires understanding

how to perform “remote port

forwarding” or “reverse tunnelling”.

Read this Toad World blog:

https://www.toadworld.com/products/toad-for-

oracle/b/weblog/archive/2015/11/09/how-to-

connect-to-your-private-database-from-an-

oracle-cloud-database

• Connect to target Oracle Cloud database

• Database | Import | Data Pump Import

24

One-Step Schema Copy to an Oracle Cloud Database (2)

Map SCOTT on source database to

SCOTT_NEW on target database.

(skip if not renaming)

In “Params” tab, chose the DB Link that points to source database.

25

One-Step Schema Copy to an Oracle Cloud Database (3)

In “Files” tab, specify a Data Pump

parameter file and log file.

That's it! Click the green triangle to start the import.

26

Moving Data into an Oracle Cloud Database (1)

Objective:

Using Oracle’s Data Pump, move 3 tables from on-premise database to Cloud Database.

Data Pump can be used to export tables, some or all of the data, a schema or multiple schemas.

In Toad for Oracle:

Database | Export | Data Pump Export

Click the “Add” button to add the tables

27

Moving Data into an Oracle Cloud Database (2)

Click on “Params” tab.

Content to export: All

Click on “Files” tab.

Set "Parameter file name", "Directory" and "Dump file name".

28

Moving Data into an Oracle Cloud Database (3)

Progress window shows what’s happening:

Create target directory on the cloud.

Schema Browser | Directories | Alter Directory.

Copy the file to the cloud.

29

Moving Data into an Oracle Cloud Database (4)

Disconnect from source database and connect to cloud database.

Database | Import | Data Pump Import. Go to “Params” tab.

Go to “Files” tab.

Click button.

30

Moving Data into an Oracle Cloud Database (5)

Progress window shows what’s happening:

Automating the process

Toad’s Automation Designer has Actions for Data Pump Export/Import and FTP.

• On which cloud platforms have you implemented Oracle 12c database?

• Oracle Cloud Service

• Amazon RDS

• Amazon EC2

• Microsoft Azure

Poll Question#3

32

• Why?

• To ensure the scalability of your Oracle Cloud

database meets/exceeds specified targets or SLAs

• How?

• Use Oracle’s Real Application Testing

• Very expensive @ $11,500 per processor + $2,530

support

• requires Diagnostics & Tuning Packs

• Requires license for source AND target

• Oracle Testing as a Service (TaaS) – cloud-based

platform for application performance testing

• Use 3rd party alternative (Quest Benchmark Factory,

Pythian, HammerDB)
