Use case scenarios


SharePlex use case scenarios – impact-free and limitless! On-premises, remote or in-the-cloud


Ensure high availability and fast disaster recovery

• Ensure business continuity to meet five 9’s SLA

requirements for unplanned & planned downtime.

• Provides an alternate copy of production data for

failover in the event of maintenance or downtime.

• Ensures production databases are available 24x7.

• Ensures high-level of user experience and avoids

loss in revenues or end-user satisfaction due to

loss of critical data

• Supports active-active (bi-directional, multi-

master), active-passive (uni-directional)

configurations


Zero-impact migrations, patches, and upgrades

• Migration of application version, database

version, storage, hardware platform or

sometimes all four.

• Decrease downtime by switching users to the

replica system while the migration is being

performed on production.

• Eliminate risk providing a failback if the

changes have undesired effect. Supports

multiple dry-runs.

• Reduce costs and mistakes by performing the

changes during working hours.


Offload operational reporting

• Ad hoc querying, reporting, data warehousing or Business

Intelligence can be run from a secondary copy of the

instance (all or a subset).

• Distribute read-only and read-write workload

• Reduces contention, data footprint and improves

performance on your production system.

• Avoids performance degradation from times of high-volume

reporting such as month, quarter or year end.

• Immediate business benefits can be achieved offsite. Can be

placed on Standard Edition database and in-the-cloud as a

cost-effective SaaS model to provide 24x7 reporting without

production impact.


Reliable data distribution and distributed processing

• Databases are geographically dispersed over WAN,

LAN or Satellite—anywhere around the globe.

• Distribute data to different servers, keeping all copies

of the database current.

• Copies can all be different database versions &

indexed differently.

• Replicate all or a subset.

• Unlimited number of targets.


Effective and efficient centralized reporting & consolidation

• Consolidation of store(s) or multiple facilities can

provide real-time replicate data to the corporate

office over LAN, WAN, cloud or satellite networks.

• Supports large topologies of remote offices / stores

to consolidate data centrally.

• Posting files can be managed by start/stop to control

the flow of data real-time, hourly, daily or as

requested to disseminate copies of production data

wherever needed.


Scalability through load balancing

• Data replication in place of Real Application Clusters

(RAC)

• Applies conflict resolution as required by the

circumstance and as defined by your business rules

and needs.

• Provides the fastest possible fail over time that can

be achieved using any technology in a WAN

environment.

• Copies can all be different database versions &

indexed differently.


Cascading to intermediary systems

• Provides regional distribution then allows for district

and store distribution of data.

• Replicate data between long distances and to

targets not directly connected.

• No Oracle software is required on this node if it will

only be acting to store and forward.

• Cascading or fanning the data allows for different

data to reach desired targets without sending all the

network packets forward to every target location.

• Move data past firewall thru secure servers without

the need of Oracle licensing on transporting servers.


• For auditing and discovery purposes

• Keep track of changes made to a defined set of

tables

• Records all changes including user id, timestamp,

SCN, source row id, key values, transaction id,

operation type

• Store the change tracking data on the primary server

or a secondary server

Change tracking


Near real-time integration with change data capture (CDC)

• Near real-time data integration using change data capture to JMS Queue and providing continuous data

delivery to another database system (SQL Server, Sybase,

DB2, Teradata, Netezza, Hadoop, Greenplum, and more)

– Structured

– Unstructured

• Separates operational and analytical systems without

impacting performance

• Provides near real-time access to accurate information

• Migrate Oracle databases to modern platforms

• Allows enterprises to leverage new data warehousing

and business intelligence technology as it is made

available

• Cost effectively grow and expand infrastructure as

needed
