Storage SIG Webcast: Eliminate Database Protection Uncertainties: Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance Wed, Sep 28, 2016 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM MDT Ever had a restore fail due to a corrupted backup? Exceeded your backup window? There is a long list of backup and recovery issues posing real risk to the business which means IT and Database administrators spend considerable time monitoring data protection activities. Stop babysitting backup and free up your time for more strategic initiatives! The Recovery Appliance is designed for database recovery--not just backup. It simplifies the daily workload for both storage and DBA teams plus offloads backup processing from database servers. Attend this session to learn how other customers have benefited from implementing the Recovery Appliance and how you can reduce time, complexity, data loss exposure, and ensure that your Oracle Database recovers successfully when you need it most.

5 Ways to Ensure Developers Never Wait for Test Data Again Thursday, September 29, 2016, 11:00am - 12:00pm MDT Application development and software testing cycles are too often bottlenecked by complex processes used to deliver and manage test data. In fact, recent estimates suggest that test data delivery for Fortune 500 companies is best measured in days or weeks, instead of minutes or even hours. Best-in-class IT departments, though, are discovering new ways to overcome these inefficiencies. Through focused efforts to implement test data management (TDM) best practices combined with a new generation of tools, businesses can better keep pace with today's evolving application lifecycle. at 11:00 am

Scaling to Infinity: Partitioning Data Warehouses on Oracle Database, Tim Gorman , Delphix Tue, Oct 4, 2016 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM MDT There is a lot of talk about big data, and it is often associated with Hadoop and other NoSQL databases. But SQL and Big Data are not mutually exclusive. There are petabyte-sized databases on Oracle Database, and this is how they happen. This presentation is distilled from 15+ years of extensive experience implementing multi-terabyte databases to support data warehouses on the Oracle RDBMS. One of the most important technical decisions is how to implement partitioning within the Oracle RDBMS to optimize query performance for response time even as data volumes increase, and also to optimize data loading to maximize availability during data loading, eliminating downtime and minimizing impact on the system. Partitioning is also implemented to optimize storage by enabling compression and taking advantage of "tiered" storage strategies and READ ONLY tablespaces. Partitioning is the key to unlock the full power of numerous advanced Oracle features for data warehousing in a way that is not explicitly documented by Oracle. This interlocked dependency between features is described by the presenter as the "virtuous cycle." Not starting with partitioning on a data warehouse project can lead to a deadlock of unfortunate circumstances that can doom the project to failure, which the instructor characterizes as the "death spiral." In fact, one of the most important query optimizations for data warehouses in Oracle known as "star transformations" is effectively unavailable without using properly implemented partitioning. at 10:00 am - Free IOUG WebinarFree IOUG Webinar

SPARC/Solaris Webcast: Software in Silicon in the SPARC M7 Processor Tue, Oct 4, 2016 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM MDT SW in Silicon is custom hardware targeted at specific higher level functions traditionally implemented in software. Cloud based applications, especially analytics, offer many opportunities for SW in Silicon features. SW in Silicon in SPARC M7 provides gains in Performance, Power, Security and Memory Capacity. The Oracle RDBMS automatically uses these SW in Silicon features. Other applications access them through a public API called Libdax. Oracle is researching tighter HW-SW codesign, targeting deeper gains on a wider set of applications. Featured Speakers: Aings Aingaran, Director of Software in Silicon, Oracle & David Lutz, Principal Software Engineer in Performance Technologies, Oracle at 11:00 am

Save Time with FDM to FDMEE Migration Utility, Bernard Ash, EPM Clarity Tue, Oct 11, 2016 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM MDT Do you want to upgrade to FDMEE but you’re too afraid of the large number of FDM artifacts you have in FDM (locations, data load rules, import formats, validation rules, validation entities, etc.)? It would be very time-consuming and therefore expensive and error-prone to migrate all those artifacts from FDM to FDMEE. The bad news is that artifacts such as custom reports and VBScripts will not be migrated; you will have to convert those artifacts by hand. However, the vast majority of your standard artifacts such as locations, data load rules, import formats, mappings, etc. can be migrated using Oracle’s FDM to FDMEE migration utility that Oracle released last fall. The migration utility is implemented using ODI but with a little coaching; even if you don’t know ODI, you could take what would ordinarily be a six-month migration/“upgrade” effort and condense that into a one- to two-month effort. Also, if there is enough time, we could give you an introductory tutorial on how to convert VBScript to Jython and/or how to create a custom report in FDMEE. This will be a live, hands-on demo. at 10:00 am

Using APEX to Integrate Projections into an OBIEE Financials Dashboard, Teal Sexton, UC Berkeley Thu, Oct 13, 2016 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM MDT University of California, Berkeley is building an APEX form to integrate user-entered financial projections into OBIEE dashboard reports. Faculty will have up-to-date financial data including projected fund balances, particularly important for research and sponsored programs. The APEX form integrates with PeopleSoft HCM to automate the projections for employee salaries and benefits. RA’s can update, delete or add projection lines in a single form for a given faculty member’s full portfolio of funds. Upon hitting the “submit” button, the APEX application writes the projections into a staging table that triggers database updates and refreshes the OBIEE dashboard reports. Instantly, projections are factored into the calculations to give projected ending fund balances and more. The projected go-live for this functionality is March, 2016. The new functionality will efficiently provide faculty with 24/7 access to their projected ending fund balances for the first time at UC Berkeley! at 1:00 pm - Free Agile Denver meetupFree Agile Denver meetup

Agile Denver Kanban SIG Thursday, October 13, 2016, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM MDT Southglenn Library (Rm A&B), 6972 S Vine St, Centennial, CO We continue with the approach of alternating our 1st hour deep dive discussion each month between an “advance topic” led by senior practitioners, and an “open mic/any-level topic” suggested by attendees. This month is an “advance topic”, and we're working to finalize on the presenter/topic soon, so again, check back for updates. After the deep dive, we’ll continue using a “lean coffee” format for the 2nd hour of our meeting to do some quicker hits in a just-in-time manner on a number of other topics of interest to those attending. I look forward to catching up with many of you regular attendees again, and also always enjoy welcoming “first-timers” to our SIG. at 6:00 pm
