Migrating the Beast—Transportable Tablespaces to the Extreme
In this corner: “The Beast”— a 180-terabyte database that uses every data type imaginable, with an application load generating 15 terabytes of redo per day and five standby databases spread across multiple data centers. In the opposing corner: the M5 Cross Endian Platform Migration scripts using Full Transportable Data Pump Export/Import and RMAN Incremental Backups. The challenge: Migrate “The Beast” from SPARC SuperCluster to Oracle Exadata with far less than 12 hours of downtime. Can it be done? Learn how the new, advanced, superfast cross-platform migration scripts take advantage of the latest RMAN advances to automate this complex process, and hear directly from the customer how they succeeded with this herculean task.
Daniel and Mike will guide you through this migration.
