Oracle Advanced Compression Option - Effect On RMAN Backup

My client is interested in introducing Oracle's Advanced Compression capabilities into their 11g landscape. My questions are related to the effects RMAN Compression has on backup infrastructures. I need to understand the impact/reduction in Data Domain or tape that can be expected.
1. What has been the experience with implementing RMAN Compression? Are there any lessons learned you can share?
2. There are three levels of compression -- LOW, MEDIUM & HIGH. What compression ratios have you seen for any/all of these levels?
3. Have you experienced any effects on server performance or any impact on database and backup functionality, when RMAN Compression is running?
I would appreciate any insights you can share.

Our main purpose for buying this option was OLTP compression. Just by this you can save tons of space(ofcourse it depends upon the type of data).
With RMAN , in maximum compression mode ,your CPU usage will go high so make sure not to schedule the backup with heavy activities on the database.
Page 10- 14 will help.

  • HOW to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table

    Hi All,
    I have to enable oracle advance compression for existing table which PARTITION BY RANGE then SUBPARTITION BY HASH.
    ORacle version: 11.2.0.2.0
    Please provide me any relevant doc or any exp.
    Thanks in advance.

    could not see any text for how to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table.RTFM.
    From the resource above:
    How do I compress an existing table?
    There are multiple options available to compress existing tables. For offline compression, one could use ALTER TABLE Table_Name MOVE COMPRESS statement. A compressed copy of an existing table can be created by using CREATE TABLE Table_Name COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS AS SELECT *. For online compression, Oracle’s online redefinition utility can be used. More details for online redefinition are available here.

  • Oracle Advance Compression Deletion Performance issue in 11g R1

    Hi,
    We have implemented OAC in our datawarehouse environment to enable table and index compression. We tested in our Test machine and we gained almost 600GB due to advance compression without any issues and all the informatica loads are running fine. And hence we implemented the same in our production but unfortunately two sessions which are involving deletion of data are taking more time (3 times of actual timing) for completion which affects our production environment.
    The tables creating issue are all non partitioned tables.
    I need to know whether Oracle Advance Compression will decrease delete performance? and is there any way to disable advance compression on those particular tables?
    Our environment details:
    DB earlier version: 11.1.0.6
    DB current version : Oracle 11.1.0.7
    Applied PSU: 11.1.0.7.6
    Operating system: Solaris 5.9
    Syntax used for compression:
    ALTER TABLE TABLE_NAME MOVE COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS;
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply.
    The note is for update performance issue and also I have applied necessary patches for improving update performance.
    The update sessions are all working fine. only the deletion sessions are creating problem.
    Could someone help me out to clear this problem.
    Thanks,

  • Oracle Advanced Networking Option with Linux

    I want to set up a linux client that works with an Solaris based Oracle 8i EE server using an encrypted connection.
    I have successfully done this with NT clients. However the Linux client responds an "ORA-12657: No algorithms installed"
    Isn't Oracles Advanced Networking Option available for Linux?
    If it is, how do I install it?

    Check to see if ANO is linked in with SQL*Plus by running the following:
    cd to oracle_home/bin
    adapters sqlplus
    If after running the adapters command and ANO does not show as being linked in,
    perform the following:
    1. Change directorys to oracle home/sqlplus/lib
    2. Run the following unix command to relink SQL*Plus:
    make -F ins_sqlplus.mk install
    3. Change to oracle home/bin directory.
    4. Re-run "adapters sqlplus" to verify that ANO is now linked in.

  • Oracle Advance Compression

    Hi All,
    I am new to Oracle. I need to implement Oracle Advance compression in my dataware house database.
    My DB version is 11.1.0.7.0 I applied the latest patchset updates to include the patches that are needed for Oracle Advance compression.
    My doubt is , Is it necessary to shut down the database before enabling the table compression and index rebuilding?
    please clarify me.
    Thanks
    VBK

    No you will not need to bounce the database.
    However to get the compression on existing data you will need to reload the table and/or table partition.

  • Is UTL_COMPRESS a part of Oracle Advanced Compression?

    Hi,
    I am planning to use UTL_COMPRESS for some need to compress an file. But heard it is a part of Oracle Advanced Compression and we don't have license for that and cannot be used.
    Can any one have any idea whether it is a part of Ora Adv Compression or not?
    Thanks in advance,
    Pradeep.

    Two different things? Oracle Advanced Compression http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/oracle11g/pdf/advanced-compression-whitepaper.pdf
    And utl_compress - a package provides an API to allow compression and decompression of binary data (RAW, BLOB and BFILE).

  • Oracle 10g Enterprise manager  Solaris 9 (Rman backups)

    Hi Guys,
    I changed the OS and oracle user's password on my database server and OS user on the backup server and since then my rman backups don''t run. What could be the reason because when I click on the Disk Test Backup it says I must supply the Host Credentials
    To save the backup settings, supply operating system login credentials to access the target database. and when I do that I get an error
    The specified host user is not a member of the operating system DBA group. The host user must be a DBA group member since the database user does not have the SYSDBA role.

    Hi,
    The specified host user is not a member of the operating system DBA group. The host user must be a DBA group member since the database user does not have the SYSDBA role.Assign DBA group to the newly created oracle user.
    This should work

  • Oracle Advanced Seucirty option on Solaris

    Hi,
    I have just installed Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 Enterprise edition on Solaris 10 and from OUI "installed product" report, I see that I have OAS and all the necessary products (i.e. SSL...) installed but when I run netmgr -> Oracle Net Configuration -> Local -> Profile, I do not see an option in the drop down menu with regards to OAS! Have I missed anything or do I need any particular licensing that I am not aware of? If so, how I can get OAS to work?
    Thank you

  • Making Dependent information mandatory in Oracle Advanced Benefit Options

    Hi,
    If employee select Employee + Spouse option through SSHR, system should ask him to select spouse from available dependents. This has to be at option level.
    Where this is setup?
    Cheersss...
    Sandip

    Navigation:
    1. Employee self service
    2. Benefits
    3. Update Benefits
    4. Select Employee + Spouse option
    5. Next
    6. He should be able to select spouse from existing list of dependents and he must select it as for this is option, selecting spouse is manatory(Business requirement)
    7. Submit the request.
    Basically for particular option, dependent selection should be required. I checked in the system. There is dependent designation at plan level. That was not working as per my requirement. I want it at option level. If I select spouse, system should ask for marriage certificate and she should not get enrollmed till certificate is provided.
    Hope I am clear!
    Please ask if more detail is required.
    Cheersss...

  • How to make an encrypted compressed RMAN backup and recovery

    Hallo!I am trying to make an RMAN backup that is compressed (definitely use compressed backup set in OEM).
    But my emphasis is to make the backup encrypted with a key (hoping to use Public Key Infrastructure )such that the database data can be sent via the network and the recepient can use a decryption key to decrypt the data.
    The recepient must also use a password to access the encrypted file for decryption.
    Is it possible to do this?If so please give the steps.
    Thanks.

    You can encrypt the backupset with RMAN Encrypted Backups, however Oracle Advanced Security Option (additional cost) is required.

  • Question about advance compression in Oracle 11gR2

    Hi,
    I am on Oracle 11gR2 on Solaris 10. I want to run the oracle advance compression advisor for my database and get compression ratios for the tables, how can I do it? I am looking for a sample command to run this advisor package (dbms_compression) from sqlplus.
    Can someone please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Nirav

    Thanks SriniChavali and Stefan. I can't make more answer "Helpful' so I couldn't do that for your answers! Here is my point. In Jonathan's blog i see this remarks:
    "Sadly it seems that “compress for OLTP” (formerly “compress for all operations”) doesn’t compress for all operations, it compresses only for inserts, and the benefits it has over basic compression are that (a) it leaves 10% of the block free for updates, and (b) it doesn’t require direct path inserts to trigger compression. Given the limitations on how it works you may find that the problems it brings might make it something you want to avoid.... this is at this link: http://allthingsoracle.com/compression-in-oracle-part-3-oltp-compression/
    To date I’ve only heard complaints about OLTP compression (there’s an element of self-selection there as no-one ever calls me to look at their system because it’s running so well and has no problems). A common thread in the complaints I have heard, though, is about the significant amount of row migration (once it has been noticed), the extra CPU, and ”buffer busy waits”.
    Compression for OLTP is (according to the manuals) supposed to be able to compress during updates – but it doesn’t (at least, as far as I can tell); this means that you can easily end up suffering a large number of row migrations on updates, which can result in extra random I/Os, buffer busy waits, and increased CPU and latch activity.
    If you can work out a good strategy for using OLTP compression, though, think carefully about making a choice between freelist management and ASSM – there seem to be some undesirable side effects that appear when you mix OLTP compression with ASSM."
    Note that I am not that technical and I hope I have not mis-quoted. I am trying to figure out if this is a good option or not and seeing some findings that it may not be so good and seeing at some other places notes that it is indeed very good.
    Best regards

  • Incremental RMAN backup and compression

    Does RMAN compress the data for the incremental Level 0 and Level 1 backups. More specifically - Can I use Advanced compression if olny use incremental backups ?

    you would use the comfigure command to use zlib which is does not compress as well as bzip2 which does not require the advanced compression option, but zlib does not consume as much cpu as bzip2.
    now for the backup you have 2 options. you can configure backupsets to compress
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ;
    or it using table
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET ;
    Then do you backups as backup sets
    database
    backup as backupset incremental level 1 tag hot_1_${DTE} DATABASE NOT BACKED UP SINCE TIME 'SYSDATE - .6';
    archivelogs
    backup as compressed backupset format '${INST_LOWER}_Archive_%d_%s_%p_%t' archivelog all not backed up 1 times ;
