The following parameters require their ranges or default values to be updated according to the described rules:
The following tables show a list of constraints that may be required in the definition of the study, depending on the tuned parameters.
The Oracle Database optimization pack allows monitoring of an Oracle instance and exploring the configuration space of its initialization parameters. In this way, an Akamas study can achieve goals such as maximizing the throughput of an Oracle-backed application or minimizing its resource consumption, thus reducing costs.
The main tuning areas covered by the parameters provided in this optimization pack are:
SGA memory management
PGA memory management
SQL plan optimization
Approximate query execution
The optimization pack also includes metrics to monitor:
Memory allocation and utilization
Sessions
Query executions
Wait events
These component types model different Oracle Database releases, either as on-premise or cloud solutions. They provide the initialization parameters the workflow can apply through the OracleConfigurator operator, and a set of metrics to monitor the instance performances.
Notice that for the Oracle Database hosted on Amazon RDS, a subset of initialization parameters can be applied in the workflow to interact with the RDS API interface.
