DOAG Konferenz 2024: Ein Rückblick auf vier intensive Tage in Nürnberg

Vom 19. bis zum 22. November 2024 war Nürnberg einmal mehr der Treffpunkt für Oracle-Experten, Anwender und Partner. Aber nicht nur Oracle war Thema, auch PostgreSQL, Soft Skills und vieles mehr stand auf der Agenda. Die DOAG Konferenz bot auch in diesem Jahr eine Plattform, um Wissen auszutauschen, neue Entwicklungen zu präsentieren und Kontakte zu knüpfen. Ich hatte die Ehre, selbst mit vier Vorträgen vertreten zu sein und meine Erfahrungen rund um Themen wie Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Security, Automation mit Oracle Linux Automation Manager, sowie Red Hat Ansible Automation zu teilen. Meine Vorträge und Highlights Es ist immer ein besonderes Erlebnis, vor einem grossen Publikum zu sprechen, und die Sessions in den gut gefüllten Räumen haben gezeigt, dass das Interesse…

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic Object Storage – Cleanup Day with FTM CLI

Yesterday I decided to cleanup old Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic objects. There were a lot of files lying around in the Object Storage of a project from 2018. Cleaning up these files in the OCI console was no option, they can only be deleted one by one. And with over 1500 files, a bad idea. During the search for an option for Object Storage mass deletion, I found this tool: ftmcli – Object Storage Classic File Transfer Manager. The MOS note contains the script and a short manual how to use. It’s a Java based script,  a perfect match for my Windows Subsytem for Linux (Ubuntu), which I often use for OCI actions.

MV2OCI – One-Click Move of your Data into Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Database

mv2oci is a tool which helps to migrate on-premise data to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure based on Oracle Data Pump and works as a data load tool. The local Data Pump export is transferred and imported to/on the target cloud server automatically. There is no use of Oracle Cloud Object Storage, the dump files are transferred with rsync or scp to the target database node. This is the different behavior to mv2adb – see my blogpost here – which uses the Object Storage. As an option, the data can be transferred via Database Link (mv2oci Parameter –netlink). All you need to know about mv2oci is written in the My Oracle Support Note (OCI) MV2OCI: move data to Oracle Cloud Database…

The Grafana Plugins for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Monitoring are back!

In September 2019 I wrote a blog post how to monitor an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Autonomous database with Grafana plugin oci-datasource. But some weeks after publication, the plugin was not available on the Grafana page anymore. And only Oracle and Grafana had a clue why. Now everything will be fine now. Since the 6th of October, there are two new Grafana plugins available for download. They both don’t require a Grafana enterprise account. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Metrics Data Source Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Logging Data Source The first one is a successor of the former oci-datasource plugin, the second allows to get logs from OCI resources like Compute or Storage. As an infrastructure guy, let’s install the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Metrics…
