Oracle Stress Test/Performance (Solaris)

Hi,
The application that i have is as below:
Web<-->Oracle Db<--->Server1......ServerN
I will create Logical Server ID on Website, install Server instance on a physical machine and map it to the Server ID Created. And Each Server running will make connection to the Database and respond to the actions requested from Website. Is there any way to find out how many Server connections (Max) the Database can handle?
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Thanks for the quick response.
As i understand SESSIONS parameter effectively helps to determine the maximum concurrent connections i can have.
Let me give some more details on what i am loooking at; Once i login to the website, i can create "N" number of Server IDs and map each of them to the actual Hostnames of the Physical servers. And each server makes 2 connections to with the database. I am looking at a way to find this "N" after which Database might refuse connections from the Servers.
Thanks.

SwingBench an Oracle Stress Test and Benchmark tool

Last week I was in a RAC workshop hosted by Oracle.
In the workshop, Oracle using a tool called Swingbench to generate load for RAC testing. Which is pretty interesting and good tools.
Since I have seen quite a few inquiry regarding a good benchmarking and load generating tools. I thought it might be good idea to share it.
It's free and can be downloaded here.

Swingbench is a free load generator (and benchmarks) designed to stress test an Oracle database (9i or 10g)

Hi,
To add to what yingkuan said, there is one more free stress testing tool called hammerora.

Stress Test Oracle 9i

Hello,
I want to perform stress tests on my Oracle 9i database. Is there a software that you can recommend to use. Maybe even scripts or shareware. Thank you.

There are a variety of third party load test tools available, generally part of a suite of QA tools. You can also build your own test harnass.
99% of the work, however, is in figuring out what to run to put a representative stress on your application and, thus, your database. Figure out a representative number of OLTP users, a representative number of DSS users, an appropriate overlap in time and in data, etc.

Oracle ADF BC stress testing

Hi All,
I have an Oracle ADF application which uses SOA and ADF BC in back-end. As per my requirement, I need to do stress test on ADF BC back-end component. As I said, this application is containing SOA and ADF BC calls so I prepared a test JSPX file on top of single AM (ADF's application module integrates all BC components).
This is first step in which I actually test single AM. There-after I prepared a JMeter script which actually makes HTTP URLs for calling JSPX. Firstly, I prepared this script for 15 concurrent users. Accordingly, I made changes in AM pooling configurations.
This is working fine but I have a doubt here, which is, I need to prepare seperate JSPX files (for different HTTP URLs) for different AMs (i.e. different ADF BC components). Is there any way through which I just pass some code snippet in existing application which actually test the ADF BC component. If I create JSPX file each time for each AM module, this will take too much time and efforts.
I am looking for something which should be implemented with existing application. I do not know, how to do that?
Please suggest me in case you have any alternate solutions.

SAP performance test, stress test using HP LoadRunner

Hi experts,
Our project is going to Go live soon, customer want to ensure about performance of SAP system and require some testing.
I am preparing HP LoadRunner script and perform a most complex scenario for stress test. But with performance test, we cannot perform because we do not have enough transaction data
Please advice me some solution for this case
Thanks & Best Regards,

Hello,
If you are looking for simulating load using minimalist tools, a crude way to do this would be configuring Ecatt scripts and running them from multiple machines
But I think it doesn't work for web based transactions.

Performance (Stress Testing) Simulation For Requests

Hi GRC Gurus,
I am looking for a solution for performing a stress test (for performance) for change requests in Access Control. This should be a repeatable process in order to ascertain if there are any bottlenecks in the processing, memmory etc. In normal SAP, e-CATT was one of the simpler solutions - how about GRC Access Control ?
regards
Mushtaq Mahmood

Only one suggestion from experience (due to the multi-fold use of GRC AC).
Try to get 10 volunteers to aggressively submit and approve access requests, perform risk analysis and perform firefighter sessions, i.e. get a through User Acceptance Test performed to get a "as-real" feel of the performance-stress on the system.
At my current client, we have got around 10 volunteers each in the Europe, Americas and Asia offices and UAT is being performed over a 2 weeks cycle to really hammer the system, both to ensure the configuration is correct and working as expected and also to monitor the performance of the system over the global company network.
Basis team are monitoring the performance of the processes and DB usage.

Lync Stress and performance test - DTMF

 <PlayParticipantName>true</PlayParticipantName>
 <ParticipantNamePlayDurationInSec>45</ParticipantNamePlayDurationInSec>
 <ParticipantNameAudioFileName>Audio.wma</ParticipantNameAudioFileName>

 <DtmfAdmitAllPercentage>0</DtmfAdmitAllPercentage>
 <DtmfAdmitAllDelayInSeconds>300</DtmfAdmitAllDelayInSeconds>
Based on the DTMF parameters, am i correct in saying that generic DTMF inputs can be stress tested, but there isn't an option to enter conference ID's of manually created conferences via the tool ?

Performance / Stress Testing E-Recruitment

Hi Experts,
I am curious if anyone has found a way to accurately stress test external candidate (or internal candidate) scenarios for e-recruitment. The tools we have used in the past have proven misleading, as they have suggested our environment would handle the load, only to find out after implementation that the system could not.
Any ideas/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Shane

Hi Shane,
A tool like loadrunner works really well. If you used a similar tool but did not get expected results it may just be more of design / setup of your load test.
The key to the load test is to simulate it as much as possible as production scenario.
Your QA load system should have production like data. your test scripts being executed by the tool should simulate as close as possible to real user activity (like putting wait times between steps in the script, doing activities that update and create data, not just perform searches).
Putting other types of loads on the system - erecruitment never works in a vacuum in production, other users are using HR, potentially finance, etc... So other scripts should be loading the system (dialog users, background users) as "control" load, while your "variable" load - erecuritment is running.
just ideas...

Beta Testing Continues for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" Exam

!http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009-0204-1123.gif!
The beta period continues for the Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning certification exam (1Z1-054), which is a single exam requirement for Oracle 11g DBA OCPs to earn the Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning Certified Expert (OCE) certification. Read more on the <a href="http://bit.ly/UGJh4">Oracle Certification Blog</a>.

Hello Hussein
Yes true, I remember it for the OCE and Linux exams they rescheduled the end date several times. As far as I know it is related to the number of participants and the given feedback.
I've also participated to several other exams, and I must admit that it is a long and hard process to get through. When I got the feedback 10 weeks after the beta period closure, I had to review nearly all the topics to get the exams passed the second time. But this it is a cheap and good exam preparation.
What about you Hussein? Do you think that's trivial?

Database base storage stress test

Hi,
I have a ucm 11g instance up and running with SSO.
I need to test database storage against filesystem storage.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to test this?
Also I'm sure I read somewhere (but I can't find it now) that once I go in one direction I can't go back, does anyone have any details about this?
Many thanks
James

First of all, take a look at File Store Provider (here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/doc.1111/e10792/c02_settings005.htm#CSMSP445)
In general, filesystem storage is always used even if you store data in the database, in the end. It is, though, understood as a temporary storage. In theory, you can keep your files in both locations and I see no reason why you should not be able to go from FS to DB and back, BUT you have to consider consequences (you might have to rebuild indexes or even migrate data from one storage to the other).
As for stress tests, first you have to decide WHAT you want to test. Potential candidates are:
- checkin of a single item (wasted effort: since FS is always used as an intermediate storage it will always be a bit faster)
- mass checkin (e.g. from Batch Loader - especially if you use Fast Checkin settings, db can be a bit faster, but you will need a real lot of small files)
- search
- update (metadata - wasted effort: should be the same)
- backup
- migration of content
Then, you will have to setup two environments with more-or-less the same conditions (CPU power, memory, disk speed).
And finally, you will have to create and run you test cases. I'd suggest to automate stress tests via writing a program calling the same services with the same data. Use WebServices (if non-Java) or RIDC (if Java).
Alternatively, if your task is "to get results" rather than "perform stress tests", you could try to approach consulting services or project managers to provide some normalized results for you. Something can be obtained in this whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/us/products/middleware/content-management/ecm-extreme-performance-wp-077977.pdf

Recommendations - Oracle RAC 10g on Solaris 10 Containers Logical/Local..

Dear Oracle Experts et all
I have a couple of questions for Oracle 10g RAC implementation on Solaris and seek your advice. we are attempting to implement oracle 10g RAC on Solaris OS and SPARC Platform.
1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? I was assuming that Oracle will always link it self with OS binaries and Libraries while S/W installation and hence will need an OS image/Root Disk over which it could go. However, in containers, I assume we have a single solaris installation and configuration which will thus be shared to the containers which will be further configured in it. In such situations how does Oracle instalation proceed? Do I need to look at a scenario where, the global Container/Zone will have Oracle install and this image be shared across to zones/containers accordingly? If it is so, what all filesystems from OS will need to be shared across to these zones/containers?
Additionally, even if this approach is supported, is it a recommended approach? I am unsure about the stability and functionality of Oracle in such cases and am not able to completly conceptualize. However, I assume there could be certain items which needs to be approprietly taken care off. It will help if you could share observations from your experiences.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?
Our requirement is to have the above mentioned multiple Oracle installations spread across two (2) seperate H/W platforms,say Node A and Node B, and configure our Cluster Solution to behave as active-passive across Node A and Node B. In other words, I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. I will configure one database each for each of these Oracle S/W installation (with an idea not to have Clusterware between clustering solution VRTS/SunCluster and Oracle installation, if it works). Now I will run 3 databases thus on each of these nodes. If any downtime happens on any one of the nodes, say Node A, I will fail all oracle databases and S/W accordingly to the alternate available node, Node B in this case, using native clustering solution and I will want the database to behave as it was behaving earlier, on Node A. I am not sure though if I will be able to bring the database up on Node B when resources in OS perspective are failed over.
we want to use Oracle 10g RAC Release 2 EE on Solaris 10 OS latest/one before the latest release.
Please share your thoughts.
Regards!

1 We are wondering if Oracle 10g RAC could be implemented on Solaris Local/Logical Containers? My understanding is that RAC in a Zone (Container) is not supported by Oracle, and will not work anyway. Regardless of installation, RAC needs to do cluster level stuff about the cluster configuration, changing network addresses dynamically, and sending guaranteed messages over the cluster interconnect. None of this stuff can be done in a Local Zone in Solaris, because Local Zones have fewer permissions that the Global Zone. This is part of the design of Solaris Zones, and nothing to do with how Oracle RAC itself works on them.
This is all down to the security model of Zones, and Local Zones lack the ability to do certain things, to stop them reconfiguring themselves and impacting other Zones. Hence RAC cannot do dynamic cluster reconfiguration in a Local Zone, such as changing virtual network addresses when a node fails.
My understanding is that RAC just cannot work in a Local Zone. This was certainly true 5 years ago (mid 2005), and was a result of the inherent design and implementation of Zones in Solaris. Things may have changed, so check the Solaris documentation, and check if Oracle RAC is supported in Local Zones. However, as I said, this limitation was inherent in the design of Zones, so I do not see how Sun could possibly have changed it so that RAC would work in a Local Zone.
To me, your only option is the Global Zone. Which pretty much destroys the argument for having Zones on a Solaris system, unless you can host other non-Oracle application on the other Zones.
2 The idea of RAC we are looking at is to have multiple Oracle Installations on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters. Do we still need to have Oracle Cluster solution Clusterware (ORACRS) on top of this to achieve Oracle Clustering? Will I be able to install Oracle as a standalone installation on top of native clustering solution say veritas clusters/Sun Clusters?I am not sure the term 'native' is correct. All 'Cluster' software is low level, and has components that run within the operating system. Whether this is Sun Cluster, Veritas Cluster Server, or Oracle Clusterware. They are all as 'native' to Solaris as each other. They all perform the same function for Oracle RAC around Cluster management - which nodes are members of the cluster, heartbeats between nodes, reliable fast message delivery, etc.
You only need one piece of Cluster software. So pick one and use it. If you use the Sun or Veritas cluster products, then you do not need the Oracle Clusterware software. But I would use it, because it is free (included with RAC), is from Oracle themselves and so guaranteed to work, is fully supported, and is one less third party product to deal with. Having an all Oracle software stack makes things simpler and more reliable, as far as I am concerned. You can be sure that Oracle will have fully tested RAC on their own Clusterware, and be able to replicate any issues in their own support environments.
Officially the Sun and Veritas products will work and are supported. But when you get a problem with your Cluster environment, who are you going to call? You really want to avoid "finger pointing" when you have a problem, with each vendor blaming the cause of the problem on another vendor. Using an all Oracle stack is simpler, and ensures Oracle will "own" all your support problems.
Also future upgrades between versions will be simpler, as Oracle will release all their software together, and have tested it together. When using third party Cluster software, you have to wait for all vendors to release new versions of their own software, and then wait again while it is tested against all the different third party software that runs on it. I have heard of customers stuck on old versions of certain cluster products, who cannot upgrade because there are no compatible combinations in the support matrices between the cluster product and Oracle database versions.
I will configure Clustering Solution like VRTS/SunCluster in Active-Passive, then have 3 Oracle installations on Node A, another 3 on Node B. As I said before, these 3 Oracle installations will actually all be on the same Global Zone, because RAC will not go into Local Zones.
