DB Replay
Capture production workload
Preprocess workload
Replay workload in test
Analyze & fix issues before going production

DB Replay
capture
-- restart db
-- define workload filters
exec DBMS_WORKLOAD_CAPTURE.ADD_FILTER (
fname => user_ramrag,
fattribute => 'USER',
fvalue => 'RAMRAG');
-- setup capture directory
exec DBMS_WORKLOAD_CAPTURE.START_CAPTURE
(name => may09_peak_cap, dir => may09, duration =>
1200);

DB Replay
exec DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY.
PROCESS_CAPTURE (capture_dir => may09);
make system change
exec
DBMS_WORKLOAD_REPLAY.
INITIALIZE_REPLAY (replay_name => may09_peak_rep,
replay_dir => may09);

SQL PA
PROD (Ora10g) --> capture SQL workload into STS

Move STS to test (Ora11g)

Set OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE = 10.2

Create SQL PA task for this STS

Execute SQL workload (pre-change)

Set OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE = 11.1

Execute SQL workload (post-change)

Review SQL PA report to identify performance gains or losses between pre-change and post-
change executions

Tune regressed SQLs with Tuning Advisor

DRA
Analyzes failures based on symptoms
e.g. open failed because datafiles missing
Intelligently determines repair strategies
aggregates failures for efficient repair
e.g. for many bad blocks restore entire file
presents only feasible repair options
ranked by repair time and data loss
Can automatically perform repairs
