The Oracle Database Access Group is hiring

Over the years I've worked very closely with the Oracle Database Access Group and have a lot of respect for them. I'm happy to share that they are hiring C developers.

To apply, go to irecruitment.oracle.com and enter the code IRC2401606 or IRC2403582 (depending where you want to work) in the Keyword search box.

Here is an excerpt from the job posting:

The Database Access group at Oracle is responsible for providing functionally comprehensive, reliable, high performance, secure and highly available access to the Oracle Database from various client drivers, including proprietary, standards-based and open-source drivers. The group works on the high level drivers, the Oracle Call Interface (OCI) layer, the Oracle wire protocol (TTC) and highly scalable server side protocol handlers that together connect an application written in any language securely to the Oracle Database Server to provide full featured access to the Oracle Database.

Some of the listed requirements are:

  • Strong C programming experience.

  • Knowledge and experience with latest application development technologies including open source and web technologies (e.g. PHP, Ruby, Python, Node.js, HTML5, JavaScript)

I believe it when they also say "Work is non-routine and very complex, involving the application of advanced technical/business skills in area of specialization". Check out the postings for all the details. I look forward to working with you.

While dates are still subject to change, we wanted to let you know that the CFP (for MySQL Connect and Oracle OpenWorld overall) will likely open around March 18th. Remember to prepare your submissions in advance in order to swiftly submit them during the 4 to 5 weeks that the CFP will remain open!

Upgrade to Grid Infrastructure - but OCR and VOTING on RAW?

March 4, 2014, 1:19 am

Just received this question from a colleague these days:

"The current customer environment is 10.2.0.5 on Linux with a 2 node RAC cluster having OCR and Voting Disks on RAW devices. Customer is concerned about the possibility of upgrading to 11gR2 Grid infrastructure first before they could upgrade to 12c Grid infrastructure."

Now the answer is written down in MOS Note 1572925.1:
How to Upgrade to 12c Grid Infrastructure if OCR or Voting File is on Raw/Block Devices

Basically the MOS Note says:
You will have to relocate your OCR/Voting to a supported device BEFORE you can upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c. No way out. A bit more clarification (thanks to Markus Michalewicz):

The assumption of the note (which you might want to state) is that the customer has pre-12c GI with OCR / Voting Disk on RAW.

In this case, Option A is always an option.

For Option B, however, you need to distinguish. So the note should say: 

  • Option B: Customer is on 11g Rel. 2 still using RAW Devices 
    • Then move the OCR and Voting Disks to ASM
  • Option C: Customer is on pre-11g Rel. 2 and does not want to introduce a CFS (bad idea anyways) or use NFS
    • Then upgrade to 11g Rel. 2 and move the Clusterware files into ASM as mentioned under Option B.

Unfortunately another example to add to my collection of "What happens if you stay too long on older releases?". In this case it simply increases complexity and drives costs as well. And please no complaints: Oracle Database 10.2 went out of PREMIER SUPPORT in July 2010 - 3.5 years ago!!!

Verloren im Ressourcen-Management Dschungel? – Das „Resource Management Maturity Model“ (RMMM) hilft Ihnen wieder den richtigen Weg zu finden.

March 4, 2014, 2:59 am
$

In fast allen Organisationen gibt es bei der Abwicklung von Projekten limitierende Faktoren. Neben finanziellen Budgets ist das meist die Verfügbarkeit von uns Menschen. Die Arbeitskraft des Menschen ist schon jeher ein wichtiges und knappes Gut und die Situation hat sich sicherlich seit der Wirtschaftskrise vor einigen Jahren verschärft. Mitarbeiter wurden abgebaut und mit weniger Personal mussten die gleichen oder vielleicht sogar mehr Aufgaben erledigt werden. Diese Herausforderungen ziehen sich durch alle Branchen und durch alle Projektarten. Egal ob das Bau-, IT-, Forschung & Entwicklungs- oder Prozessverbesserungsprojekte sind. Überall gibt es Anforderungen für ein zielgerichtetes Ressourcen-Management.

Ressourcen-Management ist keine Stand-Alone Disiziplin, sondern eng mit anderen Disziplinen wie Projekt-Management oder Portfolio-Management verdrahtet. Wenn das Ressourcen-Management nicht funktioniert, gibt es auch in den darauf aufbauenden Disziplinen keine optimalen Ergebnisse. Auch mit der besten Projekt- oder Portfolio-Planung wird man scheitern, wenn die Ressourcen nicht verfügbar sind. Unternehmen haben das erkannt und deshalb Ressourcen-Management zu einer Top-Priorität für 2013/14 erklärt (pmsolutions Studie 2013).

Dennoch: Nicht viele Unternehmen haben ein funktionierendes Ressourcen-Management. Einige haben es noch gar nicht probiert, andere sind gescheitert. Ein Grund für das Scheitern ist oft, dass man einen Porsche haben wollte, einen LKW gebraucht habe, aber nur einen Führschein für ein Motorrad hatte. Unternehmen haben sich oft zu ambitionierte Ziele im Ressourcen-Management gesetzt: Gleich auf Stufe 5, auch wenn es für die Erfüllung der Aufgaben nicht notwendig war. – Wieviel Ressourcen Management braucht und verträgt eine Organisation und wie geht man am besten bei der Einführung vor?

Oracle’s Resource-Management Maturity Model (RMMM; Reifegrad-Modell) versucht darauf Antworten zu geben.

Das RMMM wurde initial mit Ressourcen-Management Praktikern, Beratern und Industrie-Analysten entwickelt. Mit dem Feedback von mehr als 500 Organisationen wurde es verfeinert bzw. auf seine Praxistauglichkeit überprüft.

Fünf Reifegrade, welche durch sieben Dimensionen charakterisiert sind, bilden die Basis des RMMM. Die Reifegrade sind: Level 1: Work Visibility, Level 2: Controlled Assignment, Level 3: Governed Capacity, Level 4: Schedule-Driven Availability und Level 5: Granular Management. Darüber liegen 7 Dimensionen als Matrix: Assignment Granularity, Project Roles, Resource Cost, Resource Aproval, Capacity Planning, Governance und Business Value.

Das RMMM bietet folgende Vorteile für Organisationen:

  • Gemeinsame Sprache: Das RMMM stellt Ressourcen-Managern, Portfolio-Managern und Executives in projekt-intensiven Organisationen ein Rahmenwerk und eine gemeinsame Sprache für die Kommunikation über Ressourcen-Managementziele, Probleme und Ergebnisse, zur Verfügung.
  • Fahrplan: Das RMMM hilft einen Fahrplan aufzustellen, um einerseits den derzeitigen Reifegrad, als auch andererseits den optimalen Reifegrad zu identifizieren.
  • Klarheit: Das RMMM erläutert die Implikationen und Konsequenzen für jeden einzelnen Reifegrad in Bereichen wie Datensammlung, Governance, Infrastruktur und Ergebnissen. Ein höherer Reifegrad ist nicht notwendigerweise vorteilhaft für alle Unternehmen.
  • Software-Auswahl: Das RMMM liefert Parameter für die Evaluierung von Projekt- und Portfoliomanagement (PPM)–Software, um die beste Lösung für Ihre heutigen und zukünftigen Anforderungen zu ermitteln.

    • Zusätzlich zum RMMM werden auch die Ergebnisse der RMMM-Umfrage (Feedback von 500 Organisationen) präsentiert. Hieraus ergaben sich interessante Aussagen zum Reifegrad der Unternehmen und ob es einen Zusammenhang mit Parametern wie der Unternehmensgröße, Branchenzugehörigkeit oder Geografie, gibt.
