OracleConfigurator Operator

This page introduces the OracleConfigurator operator, a workflow operator that allows configuring the optimized parameters of an Oracle instance.

Prerequisites

This section provides the minimum requirements that you should meet in order to use the OracleConfigurator operator.

Supported versions

• Oracle 12c or later

Network requirements

• The Oracle operator must be able to connect to the Oracle URL or IP address and port (default port: 1521).

Permissions

• The user used to log into the database must have ALTER SYSTEM privileges.

Supported component types

In order to configure the tuned parameters the Oracle Configurator operator requires to be bound to a component with one of the following types:

• Oracle Database 12c

• Oracle Database 18c

• Oracle Database 19c

Databases hosted on Amazon RDS are not supported.

Configuration options

When you define an OracleExecutor task in the workflow you should specify some configuration information to allow the operator to connect to the Oracle instance.

You can specify configuration information within the config part of the YAML of the instance definition. The operator can also inherit some specific arguments from the properties of a bound component when not specified in the task.

Operator arguments

The following table describes all the properties for the definition of a task using the OracleConfigurator operator.

Field	Type	Description	Default Value	Restrictions	Required	Source
connection.dsn	String	DSN or EasyConnect string		Is possible to define only one of the following sets of configurations: dsn host, service and optionally port host, sid and optionally port		task, component
connection.host	String	Address of the database instance			task, component
connection.port	Integer	listening port of the database instance	1521		task, component
connection.service	String	Database service name			task, component
connection.sid	String	Database SID			task, component
connection.user	String	User name			Yes	task, component
connection.password	String	User password			Yes	task, component
connection.mode	String	Connection mode		sysdba, sysoper		task, component
component	String	Name of the component to fetch properties and parameters from			Yes	task

Examples

Update database entries

In the following example, the workflow leverages the OracleConfigurator operator to update the database parameters before triggering the execution of the load test for a component oracledb:

name: oracledb
componentType: Oracle Database 18c
properties:
  connection:
    user: application
    password: password
    host: oradb.dev.akamas.io
    service: XE

tasks:
- name: update parameters
  operator: OracleConfigurator
  arguments:
    component: oracledb

- name: run load test
  operator: Executor
  arguments:
    command: sh run_test.sh
    component: generator
