First – what do we need to do?
12
Database Upgrade Process: Steps
1. Analyze & gather information about environment2. Determine the upgrade path and choose upgrade method3. Prepare backup / recovery strategy and clone database to test 4. Establish performance baseline/metrics before upgrade 5. Develop a test plan for database, applications, and reports 6. Test upgraded database with applications and reports7. Ensure adequate performance by comparing metrics gathered
before and after upgrade8. Remediate regressions, e.g, tune queries, update database
parameters, call Support, etc.9. Go Live!

Database Replay Overview
• Replay actual production database workload in test environment• Identify, analyze and fix potential instabilities before making
changes to production
• Capture Workload in Production–Capture full production workload with real load, timing & concurrency
characteristics (9i, 10g, 11g)–Move the captured workload to test system (11g)
• Replay Workload in Test–Make the desired changes in test system–Replay workload with full production characteristics–Honor commit ordering
• Analyze & Report–Errors–Data divergence –Performance divergence

Middle Tier
Storage
• All external client requests captured in binary files
• System background and internal activity excluded
• Minimal overhead–Avoids function call when possible–Buffered I/O
• Independent of client protocol
• Can capture on 9i, 10g, and 11g and replay on 11g
• Capture load for interesting time period, e.g., peak workload, month-end processing, etc.

Capture Files
•Setup test system
–Application data should be same as production system as of capture start time
–Use RMAN, Snapshot Standby, imp/exp, Data Pump, etc. to create test system
–Make change: upgrade db and/or OS, change storage, migrate platforms, etc.
•Processing transforms captured data into replayable format
•Once processed, workload can be replayed many times
•For RAC copy all capture files to single location for processing or use shared file system
30
Step 3: Replay Workload
• Replays workload preserving timing, concurrency and dependencies of the capture system
• Replay Client is a special program that consumes processed workload and sends requests to the replay system
• Clients interpret captured calls into sequence of OCI calls and submit to database
• For high concurrency workloads, it may be necessary to start multiple clients

Analysis & Reporting
• Error Divergence: For each call error divergence is reported–New: Error encountered during replay not seen during capture–Not Found: Error encountered during capture not seen during replay–Mutated: Different error produced in replay than during capture
• Data Divergence–Replay: Number of rows returned by each call are compared and
divergences reported–User: Application level validation scripts
• Performance Reporting–Capture and Replay Report: Provides high-level performance information–ADDM Report: Provides in-depth performance analysis–AWR, ASH Report: Facilitates comparative or skew analysis

Real Application Testing: Tools of the Trade
SQL Performance Analyzer Database Replay
What is it? •Predicts SQL performance deviations before end-users can be impacted, helps assess impact of change on SQL response time
•Replays real database workload on test system, helps assess impact of change on workload throughput
How it works? •Executes each SQL, stored in SQL Tuning Set, in isolation using production context and then compares before and after execution plans and run-time statistics
•Captures workloads and replays it with production characteristics including concurrency, synchronization & dependencies
When to use? •Unit testing of SQL with the goal to identify the set of SQL statements with improved/regressed performance
•Comprehensive testing of all sub-systems of the database server using real production workload

Online Application UpgradeEdition-based redefinition
•Code changes are installed in the privacy of a new edition
•Data changes are made safely by writing only to new columns or new tables not seen by the old edition
•An editioning view exposes a different projection of a table into each edition to allow each to see just its own columns
•A crossedition trigger propagates data changes made by the old edition into the new edition’s columns, or (in hot-rollover) vice-versa
