SUMMARY:

• Migrated over 40+ RAC/Non - Rac Oracle DBs (of sizes varying over 10 TBs) from version 11gR2 to 12c using RMAN backups/Export Dumps and Goldengate trail files.
• During the entire migration time period, the proposed architecture solution had the capability to ROLLBACK to the source 11gR2 DB version.
• Streamlined Oracle backup/recovery procedures and also provided oracle performance problems that surfaced after migration using Real Application Testing i.e. RAT and analysis of AWR reports.
• Migration effort resulted in reduced green zone times for the client,since the client was close to 24*7 shop with DBs distributed across all the major regions of the world.
• Working in developing high scalable distributed Systems, Asynchronous and event driven system using Apache Kafka.
• Integrated Oracle Goldengate 12.3.1 with Kafka connect handler.
• Also implemented CDR fixes during GG replication between Oracle source and/or target DBs.
• Migrated over 30+ RAC/Non-Rac Oracle DBs from oracle version 11gR2 running on Linux Platforms to 12c DBs running on Exadata.
• The inputs to the migration architecture were RMAN backups/Export Dumps/Goldengate Trail files.
• Migration was needed to move the DBs to better HW at the storage level. During the entire period training was also done to resident Oracle DBAs and Goldengate Architects.
• Analyze AWR performance data reports to troubleshoot slow DB performance issues.
• Heavily uses DB partitioning to solve performance problems.
• Migrated large oracle DBs using zero downtime Goldengate approach from Oracle 10gR2 to 12c RAC DBs.
• The migration effort was done to better HW equipment using Red Hat OS. During my consulting period, performed day to day normal DBA activities that included installations of new Oracle DB versions, perform RMAN backups/recovery operations and maintain multiple Oracle active dataguard setups.
• Maintained and managed multiple Oracle Streams enabled databases. Performed day to day typical Oracle DBA tasks that included Oracle Upgrades to 12c, develop scripts to perform backups and manage multiple oracle Dataguard setups.
• Migrated their oracle 11gR2 RAC DBs to 12c RAC DBs. Added goldengate replication setups to their newly migrated DBs.
