Applicative parallelism
• In R12.0, most EBS critical concurrent programs now
have multi-threaded capabilities:
– AR Autoinvoice
– XLA CreateAccounting
– AP Invoice Validation
[…]
• But most implementers leave ‘by default’ options

SQL Tuning Advisor
• Built-in database feature to provide optimized plan
recommendations
• SQL Tuning advisor is accessible from both:
– The database console
– The Grid Control
– Command line (SQL*Plus) using DBMS_AUTO_SQLTUNE
• SQL Tuning Advisor can be used to check if there is a
quickwin possible fix, waiting for a SR to be logged, or
the issue to be investigated further

Create Accounting Performance w/ RAC – Case Study (7/7)
Lessons learnt for FAH/CreateAccounting:
• Understand the batchsize and workers settings
• Having a smaller number of powerfull RAC nodes is
better than having a high number of small RAC nodes
• Define one apps server per database node
• Use Instance affinity and FND specialization rules to split
the workload over multiple RAC instances
28
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Performance
LoadBalancing w/ RAC – Best Practices (1/3)
• Create the following Cluster Database Services:
<PROD>_FORMS
<PROD>_SSA
<PROD>_BATCH_A
<PROD>_BATCH_B
• Specify the alias in the $TNS_ADMIN ifile file
<PROD>_CLIENT_FORMS=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)
(FAILOVER=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1)(PORT=1531))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=node1)(PORT=1531))

LoadBalancing w/ RAC – Best Practices (2/3)
• Update in autoconfig on all nodes
– Tools OH TWO_TASK’ (s_tools_two_task) to <PROD>_FORMS
– ‘iAS OH TWO_TASK’ (s_weboh_twotask) to <PROD>_SSA
– ‘Apps JDBC Connect Alias’ (s_apps_jdbc_connect_alias) to <PROD>_SSA
• Update in autoconfig on first node
– Concurrent Manager TWO_TASK’ (s_cp_twotask) to <PROD>_BATCH_A
• Update in autoconfig on second node

LoadBalancing w/ RAC – Best Practices (3/3)
• Update APPLFSTT from all middle tier nodes to ensure
that the <PROD>_CLIENT_FORMS is specified
<APPLFSTT oa_var="s_applfstt">

</APPLFSTT>
• If this step is not performed, the following error may be

SQL Plan Management (1/6)
Usual situation:
• Plan regression after patch application
• Typical of R12 usage of GTT *, when the same program
is run for two different workloads from different
subsidiaries, depending on the order of company these
program are run, the optimizer may choose and hold a
path that will not be suitable for companies that are run
second and typically with a bigger workload.

SQL Plan Management (2/6)
Prior to 11g
• Unpredictable changes can happen to an execution plan
• Avoiding plan changes the only method to avoid
performance regression

Partitioning: Support Note
• Oracle Applications fully supports the use of custom
partitioning of either Applications standard or custom
tables
• Custom partitioning = Changing the partitioning definition
of an existing applications table as delivered out-of-thebox from the standard installation
38
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Performance
Partitioning: Benefits (1/2)
• Table availability
– Significantly reduce recovery times of key transaction tables by
recovering specific partitions first.
• Table manageability
– Backup, restore, and rebuild at the partition level.
– Index rebuilds can be performed at the partition level.
– Partition aware operations such as MOVE, EXCHANGE,
REBUILD can be used without affecting active partitions
39
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Performance
Partitioning: Benefits (2/2)
• Performance
– Improves access path of most queries since the majority of the
access involves current data (as opposed to historical data)
– Optimizer automatically prunes unnecessary partitions.
– Analytical reports or period close jobs/reports improve by
scanning the current partition as opposed to all the partitions.
– Improves purge performance.
– Significantly improves upgrade performance
– Minimizes upgrade downtime

The Register, January 2012
Tieto, a prominent Swedish IT service supplier, had a storage
array fail on 25 November, causing five days of chaos …
...SBAB bank was heavily affected, despite having a 99.8%
uptime agreement with Tieto
The stoppage was caused by failures in a storage array and
compounded by an inadequate disaster recovery plan
involving tape backup files which could not be read.

Advanced Compression: Best practices (1/3)
• Use advisor to estimate space saving
– dbms_comp_advisor.getratio (9i to 11gR1)
– dbms_compression.get_compression_ratio (11gR2)
• Focus tables compression first on largest tables or tables
that contributes the most on I/O, eg:
–
–
–
–

XLA_DISTRIBUTION_LINES
XLA_AE_LINES
GL_JE_LINES
GL_IMPORT_REFERENCES

Manageability
Advanced Compression: Best practices (2/3)
• Exclude heavily accessed tables
– FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS
• Focus index compression on largest indexes first
• Indexes with repeating keys will offer the best
compression ratio
• Do not compress all indexes from a given table
– Validate indexes to check both the optimum number of columns
to compress and the compression ratio
– Compress the index that show the most significant ratio
98
Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Manageability
Advanced Compression: Best practices (3/3)
• Index partitions are good candidates
• Consider increasing INITRANS if significant ITL Waits
are observed in v$waitstat or in AWR
• Establish SQL Plan baseline to anticipate on possible
SQL Plan regressions
