Testbed data for J2EE/database performance testing

Hi all,
I am doing some research into how various databases operate when used in a
J2EE environment - and specifically how the
database implementations affect J2EE performance in the long run. I am
setting up a test environment
with Oracle, Sybase, DB2, SQLServer and mySQL. What I am in search of,
however, is a set of substantial dummy
data that I can use to populate these databases. Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to go about
generating or snagging data which might servce the purpose? Any assistance
is greatly and wonderfully appreciated!

Well.... while you're creating a bunch of application code that does select, update
and delete to your databases - make some that does 'insert'.

How to setup the environment for doing the Performance Testing?

Hi,
We are planning to start the performance testing for iProcurement Product, Max number of user we are going to use 1000. For this simulation, what are all basic setups need to do for Application Tier, Database Tier,etc... Can anyone suggest what is procedure to setup environment depending upon the load?

Oracle database Performance testing

Is there any tools to do Oracle database Performance or load testing??

Just i want check if 100 of users using my Application at a time what will be the performance of my database??Database performance is dependent on a number of factors - where application design, application code and data model, are critical components.
And these components need to be designed, written, and implemented with performance and scalability as primary requirements. From design issues like using 3NF correctly, to coding issues like using bind variables correctly.
You cannot simply slap design and code together, run that against the database, and then tune database performance. That is not the correct approach. Oracle database technology performs very well. It is the application that does not perform. It is the design that does not perform. It is the architecture that does not perform.
When I see the comment that someone wants to test database performance, I see someone not understanding what determines performance - and incorrectly thinking that the database is a black box, and that this black box's performance can be tuned and set, irrespective of the data model, application code and architecture used.

Dates for "Oracle Database 11g: Performance Tuning" exam

Hi!
Today Oracle posted info about the new Oracle Database 11g Performance Tuning exam needed for the new expert certification:
http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=41&p_exam_id=1Z0_054#2
It says that pre-registration for the beta exam starts today, however, it does not say when the beta phase starts and ends. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Marcus

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?
Cheers,

TCode for abap program performance testing

Hi
I have tuned a abap program which was consuming lot of time. I still have the old version with diff name. I would like to know the tcodes where in i could see the performance of the program.
regards
Balaji

Hi balaji,
This is kiran Kumar.G.I will give some steps.you better to follow those steps to get ur report performance.
If u r satisfy with my answer give me REWARD POINTS.
            HAVE A NICE DAY.
STEPS:
1.OPEN UR REPORT IN SE38 TRANSACTION.
2.SELECT THE MENU PATH
UTILITIES-->MORE UTILITIES-->RUNTIME ANALYSIS
3.SELECT THE PROGRAM RADIO BUTTON AND GIVE UR REPORT NAME THERE.AND CLICK <b>EXECUTE</b> BUTTON
4.IT WILL TAKE U TO ANOTHER SCREEN THERE U CAN EXECUTE UR REPORT AND COME BACK.
5.CLICK ON ANALYZE BUTTON.(PRESENT IN BELOW OF THE SCREEN).
THEN U WILL GET ONE GRAPH
NOTE:
1.IF IT IS RED UR PROGRAM IS HAVING VERY POOR PERFORMANCE
2.IF IT IS GREEN IT IS OK.
ABAP GRAPH : TELLS UR CODING IN THE REPORT.
DATABASE GRAPH : U R RETREIVE DATA FROM DATABASE IN UR REPORT..
SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
1.     Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
2.     Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
3.     Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
4.     Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
5.     Avoid using nested SELECT statement, SELECT within LOOPs.
6.     Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
7.     Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
8.     Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
9.     Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
10.     When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
11.     Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
12.     Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
13.     Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
14.     Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
CORRESPONDING", creates more coding but is more effcient.

Kiran Kumar.G

Transfer data from one database to another

Hello,
We have an application which uses an Oracle 9i server database. On this server we have two databases ( one for test and one for production ).
From time to time it's required to transfer data from production database to test database.
The steps followed by the ones which made the transfer are:
a) drop the user schema ( the one which contains all data)
b) recreate the user
c) import the data ( using import utility )
d) compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)
It's not possible to delete only the content of the tables and then import data from a dump file? In this way the steps c) and d) will no longer be required. If this is possible can you tell me if is there a command which will delete all data from all table ( almost 2000 tables)?
Thank you fro your help!

I think ..following a,b,c,d is the best way to maintain consistency. you are just thinking about the data in the tables, but what about the changes in views,procedures,functions etc....
compile invalid object ( what this will mean I don't know)create a file xxx.sql with following code and execute it from sql*plus
set echo off
set head off
set feedback off
set timing off
spool compile_invalid_obj.sql
select 'ALTER '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE BODY','PACKAGE',OBJECT_TYPE)||' '||OBJECT_NAME||' '||DECODE(OBJECT_TYPE,'PACKAGE','COMPILE PACKAGE;','PACKAGE BODY','COMPILE PACKAGE;','COMPILE;')
from user_objects
where status = 'INVALID';

Payroll - performance testing

We are gearing up for performance testing for active pay and I have a few questions in this regard. What are the most expensive, load bearing programs and transactions that need to be thoroughly performance tested? What is the best way to test performance for an active pay implementation (should tools be used or should users be used to generate load)?
Does anyone have a project plan for active pay performance testing that they are willing to share?

Hello Viviana,
So far in my implementation we have done payroll and time runs for the whole group.
Based on the business:
1. You can prioritize the most common or recurring scenarios. Basically create a test script for every scenario based on the configuration performed.
2. You can also talk to business SME's to find out several scenarios based on their past experience regarding complex payroll calculation, time data processing or any retro scenarios.
3. Once you get the detail outline then setup employees for those test. You can run payroll for the whole group but on parallel validation side, you will still use the same PERNR group you have setup and do the compare.
4. Later on, you can finish postings, TPR and all other subsequent steps for the whole group.
I am insisting on the whole group just to be on safer side.
Perform same study for Off cycle payroll and retro active accounting scenario.
Hope this helps.

Advice on whether to use ASM for 11gR2 databases

Hi all,
Hope I can get some advice here for ASM.
I'm going to upgrade all my 10.2 EE databases to 11gR2, and I will not be running RAC, only single instances and Data Guard. My storage is HP SAN. I wonder if it is worth the trouble (in our small shop) to run ASM.
Currently, my backups are done from a SAN perspective only, meaning that whatever is in the SAN storage is backed up.
How do I back up the files in ASM? Do I have to copy the backupsets to file system first ?
Thanks!
June

fjfranken wrote:
For small databases performance gain is zero, you only add complexity where a normal file system would be sufficient.Disagree.
Also, the reasoning is not valid. ASM works at device level. Not at cooked file system level.
This means that ASM directly uses the LUN (seen as a local scsi device) of the SAN. See LUN. Use LUN. That simple.
Not using ASM means that the o/s needs to be updated and configured. That LUN needs to be mounted. It needs to be formatted. The mount needs to be made permanent (via fstab or whatever).
This makes ASM less complex and cooked file system more complex.
Also consider that the mount and its contents are exposed to other s/w and processes and users. This raises issue such as access control and security - and the possibility of errant s/w trashing a database file because it happens to be running on the wrong mount or wrong directory.
This is not the case with an ASM diskgroup as it is not mounted and not visible as a normal cooked file system.
And if a cooked file system feature needed for a non-database files, an ACFS volume can be created in the diskgroup and mounted as a clustered file system. So it is not as if you loose the option of having a cooked file system on a LUN, when using ASM.
Database size has nothing to do with the decision between cooked file system or ASM when using SAN LUNs. Ease of use, manageability, and feature set, have. From this perspective a cooked file system for database storage is old and clunky and insecure, and ASM is flexible, performant, scalable and secure.

Performance Testing - Upgrade from 4.6B to ECC6.0

Hi,
We are doing an upgrade from SAP 4.6B to ECC6.0. I would like to know what would be the best approach for doing a performance test in an upgrade project. More specifically,
1. What are the main components that need to be tested for performance?
2. What are the important transaction codes/external applications (if any) that can be used to do performance testing in both 4.6B and ECC6.0? (ST05 or ST30 or something else?)
3. Any best practice recommended by SAP for doing performance tests?
Thanks in Advance,
Reena

Regarding Database Performance

Hi All,
I have installed *10gR2 on RHEL4 (4GB -- RAM, space is enough)*. One application (oracle ucm) is running on that. Its contains apache and content server. After 2-3 weeks, developers were saying taking long time for opening url. So done gather database statistics (after that daily gathering db stats using scheduler). After that, it was working fine. Again after week they are having the prob. They are doing lot of dml on db. Checked in os level using top command. But oracle ( installed entire application as oracle) user is not consuming that much memory. set pga_aggregate_target to about 500M. Sga (sga_max_size --- 950M) is auto tuning. db is of size 8GB. workarea_policy_size is auto.
Please suggest any solutions for improving database performance.
Thanks,
Manikandan.
