Introduction For mission critical applications running on cloud, it becomes important to have a robust mechanism to monitor your cloud infrastructure (including applications and databases) and get alarmed for any failures/issues. This blog post talks specifically about Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring, Events and Notification service to monitor and capture service events for your autonomous database and database systems. An autonomous database is a fully...

Introduction Thanks to the ODI JKMs for GoldenGate, we do not need to have much experience with GoldenGate to configure a replication environment: ODI generates all the necessary parameters for GoldenGate; it can communicate in real-time with your GoldenGate instance and make sure that changes propagated by GoldenGate will be processed by ODI with no additional setup or configuration. But when we already have a fine tuned GoldenGate installation, the last thing we want is for...

Introduction Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is a sophisticated tool that database administrators have been using to take the backup of their on-premises databases. As the organizations move their databases to cloud, the database administrators may want to continue to use RMAN to perform backup and recovery operations. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers several services and options, including RMAN, to take the backup of your databases. In this blog I will not be...

On a recent project, I created a microservice in OKE where data was persisted in a database. ATP was the obvious choice because it is so easy to provision. The challenge was that to connect to an ATP instance a wallet is needed. This poses a security risk if you build the container image with the wallet in it. A solution is to store the wallet in HashiCorp Vault. This article explains how to store the wallet into Vault, how to setup Kubernetes auth authentication method and...

Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database services with Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) provides a high level of security and protection for customer data. The common issue related to TDE observed by many customers is simply related to the TDE password. Users creating new services change the sys password and are not aware what the TDE password is and they are therefore not able to create new master keys or rekey current environments. What can they do then? All...

Introduction With customers migrating their mission critical 24x7 databases to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), it brings the need to migrate such databases to cloud with near zero downtime. The database migration becomes more complex if source database to be migrated is on a version that is not supported on cloud. This puts a mandate for customers to first upgrade their on-premise database version to OCI supported version and then migrate to OCI. This is doable for...

Introduction This post describes using Linux 7 firewall commands to view and open ports in a compute instance running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This is one of the steps to allow access from client applications such as Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC). This may be useful when setting up Opening Ports in Linux 7 Firewalls for Oracle Analytics Cloud Access to Databases using Remote Data Gateway (RDG) and Remote Data Connector (RDC) or accessing a database contained...

Introduction In this article we shall discuss how to configure and run Secure Shell (SSH) Socks Proxy server needed for Oracle GoldenGate (OGG) replication between On-Premises and GoldenGate Cloud Service (GGCS) in the Oracle Public Cloud (OPC). The SSH Socks Proxy server is required in GoldenGate replication between On-Premises and OPC, only if there's no VPN connectivity between the two sites, and the only connection allowed to the replication target on the OPC is via SSH....
