Application infrastructures are not becoming simpler; they are becoming more complex. As companies increase the granularity of application architectures via microservices and microsegmented networks, it becomes increasingly difficult to maintain constant connections from the application server to the database.

This presentation will explore those difficulties and provide some methods to understand how firewall timeouts and TCP KeepAlives interact.

Anyone who’s familiar with tuning SQL knows that you need to get the execution plan for a query.  But once you’ve got an execution plan, what do you do with it?  Everyone understands that an execution plan is important for diagnosing, but almost no one knows how to answer questions like “which step in the execution plan is taking the longest?” “Which hardware component (CPU, Memory, Disk) is causing my query’s bottleneck?” “Is my parallel query making good use of its resources, or are they being wasted?”  If you have the Oracle Tuning and Diagnostic Pack license for your database and 30 seconds, you can find the answer to these questions--and more!

We are creatures of habit. We tend to stay the course concerning what we create and how we create it. But is this tendency causing us to settle for just good enough? From OBIEE to Data Visualization Desktop to Oracle Analytics Cloud… this is not your parent’s OBIEE. Maybe it’s time for a reboot?

In this presentation, we’ll explore the new face of Oracle Analytics, both literally by looking at Oracle Data Visualization, and figuratively with how advances in the platform can affect our approach and methodology. If you are new to Oracle Analytics, I’ll convince you that this product is capable of enabling a data-driven culture. If you’ve been around the block a few times with OBIEE, then I’ll make you question how you’ve delivered analytics in the past.
