Oracle Cloud Performance

Using the Oracle Cloud Trial, I've noticed that reports and data extracts (pl/sql blocks of code), seem to run very slowly. In some cases 3-4x worse than our benchmarks on using entry level Sun servers in our hosted environment. Reports that take 5 seconds now take 35-40 seconds on the Cloud using the same exact db structures, data, sql, pl/sql, indexing etc. Any long running jobs, 3+ min never complete and are killed by the system (I guess this is expected based on the docs). My understanding is that there is no difference in performance using the trial vs. the paid version. Web pages, login, navigation etc all perform very well.
Is there any way to have long running jobs, those that take 3-5+ min, run to completion? Also, are there any performance tools available for the Cloud. Without access to things like AWR, ADDM, DBMS_PROFILER etc, it is hard to determine what is going on.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve -
Sorry to hear about your performance problems with the Database Cloud trial. I would be interested to hear more about specifics of these reports and data extracts. Of course, the latency of communications over the Internet impact overall performance, but it is difficult to understand how much this is contributing to your performance issues. I have not experienced similar problems in my work, which is why I would be very interested in hearing more.
In terms of performance tools, you can always check out the APEX auditing, as well as standard tools such as Explain Plan in the SQL Command tool, but this may or may not reveal much useful information. Tools such as AWR and ADDM apply to an overall instance, and, as such, will not be available in a multi-tenant architecture like the current Database Cloud.

Depends on what you mean as "available".
/etc/system doesn't really have such information. /etc/services is like /etc/hosts. It forms a mapping, but has not inormation about the availability of the contents. Further, services don't have to be listed there anyway.
You could use 'netstat -a' to see what ports are listening/busy.

Oracle Cloud database compliance

4 months back we bought APEX workspace and 5gb db space on Oracle cloud. Please let us know if the data and services provided by Oracle cloud compliant with the following.
Question: Is your cloud provider compliant with the following standards applicable to your operations ?
                Gramm- Leach- Bliley Act of 1999
                Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996

Hi oladslw,
You need to perform an extra step before you can call APEX_MAIL API outside of an Application Express application. Two ways to do this are described in APEX_MAIL documentation (see first Note) and in APEX_UTIL documentation. Another way is:
for c1 in ( select workspace_id
              from apex_workspace_schemas
             where workspace_name = sys_context( 'userenv', 'current_schema' )
               and rownum = 1 ) loop
    apex_util.set_security_group_id( p_security_group_id => c1.workspace_id );
end loop;
The above code retrieves your workspace_id from APEX dictionary based on the current (your) schema, then establishes APEX security context. After that, you will be able to call APEX_MAIL within the same database session.
Thanks,
Vlad

So,
I m not getting what is the problem and what will be solution for this?
What should i do?
What changes should required?
pls, help me to get out from this problem !!!!!

Well, I guess you have a problem here. Check http://multikoop.blogspot.de/2012/12/deploying-adf-applications-into-oracle.html and from this
>
Note: In its current stage Oracle Java Cloud Service runs WebLogic Server 10.3.6 with the appropriate Runtime ADF 11.1.1.6. Deployment of ADF 11gR2 Applications is currently not supported. Beside this limitation some ADF Features are not supported on the Oracle Cloud. According to the Oracle Cloud Documentation it is not supported to use the following ADF features
ADF Desktop Integration
ADF mBean
ADF MDS (Seeded customizations or cross-session personalization)
ADF Mobile
ADF Active Data Services (=> No real-time ADF Web Apps in Oracles Cloud)
ADF Business Components services interfaces (web services) or events
ADF Data Controls for BI, Essbase, BAM, and JMX
Further there are some restrictions which are good to know I think
No Java Mail API (=>Sending Mails is prohibited)
No File system access by deployed applications (=>Writing files is prohibited)
No Direct use of Oracle JDBC Driver APIs
No Java Message Service (JMS)
Max Size for deployment archive 95MB

I hope for you that the information from the blog has changes in the meantime (blog is from end of last year). Check the current doc for the cloud ...

SQL Developer 4.0.0.13 and Oracle Cloud DB. Cart Access Issue (Unable to deploy in cloud).

Hello,
I asked for a trial account on 04/02 (this year) of the Oracle Cloud. I've been able to create a Cloud Connection in SQL Developer (I'm able to login with my oracle email with the "Service Instance URL"). I am able to see the 11 example tables (DEPT, EMP, and 9 DEMO_X tables).
My data:
SQL Developer 4.0.0.13
DataCenter: US Commercial 2 (US Commercial - Chicago). I'm settled in México, at this moment I don't remember to have selected some DataCenter, but I got that one.
Domain SFTP Host & Port: sftp.us2.cloud.oracle.com:22
Domain SFTP User Name: USdddddd (changed here for example reasons)
Service SFTP Host & Port: sftp.us2.cloud.oracle.com:22
Service SFTP User Name: USssssss (changed here for example reasons)
My problem. I cannot deploy on the cloud (via the Cart tool on SQL Developer).
In chat support, I was told to check this site (1) Data Loading and the Oracle Database Cloud Service. It seems the steps are the same of this site (2) that I was following before Creating and Deploying JSF/JPA Applications to Oracle Cloud.
My scenario is not according the tutorial. According to (1), the tutorial highlights the use of the user detailed as "Service SFTP User Name" (USssssss). The site says that if I click on that user, I should be able to reset its password on SFTP users. BUT, this user (USssssss, Service SFTP User Name) is NOT shown as it is explained, the user that is shown there is the one under "Domain SFTP information" (USdddddd, that is, the user that I should NOT use, according to that webpage).
My user Service SFTP User is not shown in Security-SFTP Users. When I click the user name (USssssss), the site takes you to the Security tab, and SFTP Users sub tab. I notice that my Service SFTP User Name (USssssss) appears in Security tab, but it appears under "Users" sub tab, NOT on "SFTP Users" sub tab. Also, if I try to reset the Service SFTP User password (in Users sub tab), the site says "Oracle Cloud will send an email with a temporary password to USssssss USssssss." It does not ask me to write the new password (SFTP Users sub tab works fine, asking me a password for USdddddd).
Anyway, in SQL Developer, I made several tests in the Cart, testing either the Service and also the Domain users, port 22 and 2222. None of them worked. The message I get is:
Unable to connect to sftp server with provided details.
I've also tried to access the sftp url with Putty, PSFTP, and Filezilla. From those three apps, the sftp url gives me timeout (either on port 22, or 2222). But if ping that url, I got a response back.
So I'm not sure where is the problem. Is it the url? Is it the port? Is it the Service SFTP User? All of them?
Any comment, is very welcome.
P.S. It will be nice to have a "posted date" for each tutorial and perhaps identify the Cloud version that is being explained (the Oracle cloud is growing fast, perhaps the tutorials will be deprecated soon).

Hi Gustavo,
It appears your Service SFTP user was not created correctly. Please contact support and mention the fact that your Service SFTP user appears on Security/Users tab and not on Security/SFTP Users tab.

How can I download report information present in Analytics tab of Oracle Cloud Service RightNow CX to a csv file? I need to automate this for daily run

Hi,
I am working on a project where I need to download certain report data from RightNow Oracle Cloud Service to a csv file and process it into the warehouse. I have seen certain articles in Oracle stating about Dotnet API and PHP API but not sure if it can use them. Also I am not very confident with either Dotnet or PHP.
Is there any other approach that I can use to download the data, can it be done through curl?
Please suggest.
Thanks

Hi,
This community is for discussion on Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service. This service is currently not associated with Oracle RightNow Cloud Service.

Oracle Cloud connections by other databases via ODBC/JDBC/XML

If we move to the Oracle Cloud, will these tables be available from other SQL clients via ODBC/JDBC/XML? It obviously works fine with an internally hosted Oracle solution, but I didn't know if moving the Oracle Cloud would remove these features. Thanks.

You need a service to auto start/stop instances. Pls See

Oracle Express Performance

Hi,
We are using Oracle Express 6.3.2 & Oracle 8.1.5 for a decision
support system that we are building.
We are using a server with 2GB RAM, Dual CPU( 550MHz) along with
more than 100 GB HDD.The OS being used is Windows NT enterprise
edition server 4.0.On which both Oracle Relational database and
Express express server resides.
The building of multi-dimensional database(MDDB) doesn't take
time, we are using around 9 dimensions with total data in MDDB
being in the range of 5- 10 Lakhs records.The building time is
about 3 minutes.
However, the running of an application(XPJ) based on the MDDB
takes lot of time. The report takes about 2 Minutes to appear
and situtation is even worse in what-if analysis kind of
reports!.The MDDB is being accessed from Windows NT Client
workstation 4.0 with 128 MB RAM.
We have read Oracle Express Performance Tuning and Database
Design Guide which is available from both Oracle Technology
Network (technet.oracle.com) and Metalink, however it doesn't
seem to be of much help.The sparsity etc. have been taken care
of by us.
CAN ANYBODY PROVIDE ASSISTANCE ON THIS ISSUE OR IS IT NORMAL
THING TO EXPECT FROM ORACLE EXPRESS????...., .Request someone to
respond to this issue, as it very urgent & bothersome to us.
Thanks

Dear Friend,
I am trying to configure reports for express data and in this regard I have done the following :
1.Machine A having reports 9i Developer suite Release 2 and Pluggable Express Connection Editor installed on Windows 2000 professional.
2.Machine B having which Express Server 6.3.4 installed on Windows 2000 professional.
3.In Machine A created user OESDBA with Administrator privilige.
In the reports I am able to connect to the Express Server and attach the database and choose the measure.Once all the other steps are done I am able to print the data on the reports.
But if I use a parameter form in which I give the HOST,USER and PASSWORD then substitute the same in the express_server parameter value in the AFTER PARAMETER FORM trigger block then the report gives an error saying that
Express query contains incorrect,missing or damaged information.
How to solve this error ?
Can you please help.

Oracle 10g performance is slow

Dear Exports
how we can imporve the Oracle 10g performance........we are upgrading from Oracle 8 to Oracle 10g. Windows platform. and using Oracle developer 6 as front end .
thanks in advance

Do you have statistics gathered on the tables in the 8i database? Can you post the explain plan for the query in both databases?
Since you know what SQL is having poor performance you can use TKPROF and SQL TRACE to see where your query is spending its time.
Try the following:
alter session set timed_statistics=true;
alter session set max_dump_file_size=unlimited;
alter session set tracefile_identifier='BAD_SQL';
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
<insert sql with poor response time>
disconnect
Use the TKPROF utility on the file found in USER_DUMP_DEST that contains the string BAD_SQL.
For information on how to interrupt the TKPROF output, see the following link.

Creating more than one database user in oracle cloud

I hv created an adf application, in which there are 4 models. each model is connected to different database user, where SID is same for all user. These users have some number of tables, which are used as entity and view in model project in adf application. My query is:
I hv activated oracle cloud service for database and java. i want to deploy my adf application on cloud. so, how can i create more than one database user in cloud as i do in oracle db 11gr2? So that my all models will be connected to different database user in cloud.
Also, which service name should i use in model.jpx? I hv used mydb as service name on my local machine.
pls, help me to go ahead!!!!!!!!

Implementation of Oracle Hyperion Performance Scorecard

Hi,
I am completely naive at Oracle EPM. As of now, we have implemented Oracle EBS with finance, SCM and HRMS & Payroll modules. Our company wants to see the legacy KPIs integrated with these modules.
So, I want to know
_1. which modules in Oracle EPM are required for implementing Scorecards and KPIs completely._
_2. what are the implementation steps?_
I dont know how to go about this implementation. Hope I would get some info from you guys.
Thank you,
Siva Kumar.
Edited by: Siva Kumar HVK on May 6, 2011 1:25 AM

Hi Oracle Gurus,
I would like to know the skills required to implement Oracle Hyperion Performance Scorecard module independently.
Please suggest me the same.
Thank you
