Friends,
I am pleased
to announce that a new technical article of mine has been published (January
2014) on the Oracle
Technical Network.
Back Up a Thousand Databases Using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c
Back Up a Thousand Databases Using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c
This detailed
technical article explains the set up and scheduling of full and incremental
RMAN Database backups
for thousands of databases using Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
(Enterprise Manager) 12c, and how this
is done more easily and efficiently than the older, more time-consuming, manual
method of performing
Unix shell scripting, RMAN scripting, and cron jobs for each database to be
backed up.
And with the
Database Group Backup feature new to Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c, it
can be even faster
to set up RMAN backups for multiple databases - even if there are thousands -
that are part of an
Enterprise Manager Database Group.
The article
also highlights the advantages of using PDBs in Oracle Database 12c and backing
them up using
RMAN. RMAN cannot backup individual schemas, and it has
always been difficult to perform point-in-time-recovery (PITR) at an individual schema
level, since schemas can
easily be distributed across
multiple tablespaces. The advantage in using PDBs in a Container Database is
that you can easily set
up RMAN backups at the Container
Database level, and yet perform PITR at the PDB
level. This is a
clear technical advantage of the Multi-tenant architecture of Oracle
Database 12c.
The set up
and scheduling of RMAN database backups forms a part of the Base Database Management
features of Enterprise Manager that enables numerous customers to use Enterprise
Manager 12c more and more. In fact I had
personally introduced Enterprise Manager to HDFC bank in India in 2007 for the
purpose of their RMAN
backups, they started using it for the first time, and today they are a DBaaS-Exadata reference customer who have
presented in OOW for
the last 2 years.
Regards,
Porus.
