Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Command-Line Interface Posted: 18 Jul 2016 02:30 PM PDT Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Command-Line Interface. Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Command-Line Interface shows how to use Enterprise Manager's powerful scripting language to automate your database administration work and save time by scripting routine tasks, and then executing those scripts across collections of databases and instances in your environment. This book is chock full of ready-made scripting examples contributed by the authors and leading members of the community. For example, you’ll find scripts and examples of commands to: Remove an Enterprise Manager agent and its related targets Quickly create administrator accounts that are fully-configured with pre-expired passwords and all needed roles Invoke batch files to execute sequences of related commands with consistency against multiple targets Batch create large groups of user logins with a single command and more! The Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface (EM CLI) is the administrator’s key to unlocking the power of Enterprise Manager 12c (EM12c) with scalability, repeatability, and confidence. In previous versions, most administrators ventured into the command-line interface only with the assistance of Oracle Support. But now there are many features in EM12c that are accessible only from the command-line. This is far from a disadvantage! Enterprise Manager is now a powerful tool for automation in the hands of a skilled database administrator. Enterprise Manager scripting offers potential for all administrators who manage Oracle's enterprise-level products in their environment. You can automate from the smallest, single-instance configuration all the way up to a broadly distributed enterprise-level rollout having database instances strewn across broad geographical distributions. The power of the EM CLI returns the administrator to the golden age, where the entire environment, from database to application to infrastructure, can often be managed from this powerful command line tool secured by the robust Enterprise Manager framework. Brings a golden-age of automation to Oracle Database administrators Provides ready-made scripts contributed by leading members of the community Covers advanced techniques involving Jython and Python What you'll learn Learn the architecture that makes EM CLI so powerful. Secure the EM CLI framework in your own environment for ease of management. Write scripts to execute tasks consistently across individual targets, multiple targets, or even monitored groups. Schedule your scripts; detect and manage exceptions when they fail. Build a library of scripts to be shared among your administrative team and/or share them globally via the web. Who this book is for Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c Command-Line Interface is written for database administrators and others who are using Enterprise Manager 12c. The book is especially aimed at those wanting to take advantage of EM CLI’s scripting engine to automate tasks and leverage their time across dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of database and other instances being managed.

Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed Posted: 18 Jul 2016 02:27 PM PDT Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed. Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed provides much-needed information for building scalable, high-concurrency applications and deploy them against the Oracle Database. Read this short, 150-page book that is adapted from Expert Oracle Database Architecture to gain a solid and accurate understanding of how locking and concurrency are dealt with by Oracle Database. Also learn how the Oracle Database architecture accommodates user transactions, and how you can write code to mesh with how Oracle Database is designed to operate. Good transaction design is an important facet of highly-concurrent applications that are run by hundreds, even thousands of users who are all executing transactions at the same time. Transaction design in turn relies upon a good understanding of how the underlying database platform manages of the locking of resources so as to prevent access conflicts and data loss that might otherwise result from concurrent access to data in the database. Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed covers in detail the various lock types, and also different locking schemes such as pessimistic and optimistic locking. Then you'll learn about transaction isolation and multiversion concurrency, and how the various lock types support Oracle Database's transactional features. You'll learn some good tips for transaction design, as well as some bad practices and habits to avoid. Coverage is also given to redo and undo, and their role in concurrency. This is an important book that anyone developing highly-concurrent applications will want to have handy on their shelf. What you'll learn Understand locks and their implication for concurrent applications Manage transaction isolation to meet business needs while not impeding concurrency Design effective transactions and choose the correct atomicity level for your needs Take advantage of features such as deferrable constraints and autonomous transactions Build multi-database applications with needed atomicity through distributed transactions Investigate and troubleshoot redo and undo problems that can impede concurrency Who this book is for Oracle Database Transactions and Locking Revealed is the definitive book on transactions and locking for Oracle Database developers and architects who are developing highly-concurrent applications. Readers should already have good understanding of SQL and PL/SQL. Experience in application development is also beneficial.
