Are you ready to virtually hit the road again this fall ? You should be!

#OGBEMEA Virtual Tour 2021 will take place between 15th of October and 29th of October.

This year, 10 Oracle User groups are collaborating to bring together novices and specialists from all over the world.

Are you a first-time-speaker ? We are opening the microphones for you!

We are interested in #BackToBasics-topics, case studies, success stories, best practices, lessons learned, what went wrong in projects. We are seeking talks covering mainstream, advanced or niche technical topics on any of the following tracks: Cloud (OCI, Cloud-Native, Cloud Apps), Database (DB Development, DBA, APEX), Analytics/Data Science, Java, Developer Tools and Frameworks.

The British Columbia Oracle Users Group (BCOUG) is an independent, not for profit, organization created by users of Oracle software (DBAs, Developers, Analysts, and IT management) to enhance our knowledge and our communities in Vancouver, Victoria and the rest of B.C.

We support the community by organizing:

• Education Seminars
• Technical Presentations
• Case Studies
• Hands-on Workshops
• Best Practice Symposiums
• Special Guest Lectures
• Networking Opportunities
• Social Events

Version 12.1 will be out of support in December 2021 resulting in over 40% of EBS installations running on unsupported versions. This is a big challenge for businesses.

Come learn what a path to identify an upgrade would look like for your organization to ensure the supportability of this environment.

Join industry experts from Eclipsys Solutions as they discuss why our clients are making the move to Oracle Exadata, Exadata Cloud, and Exadata Cloud at Customer and how Eclipsys and Oracle can accelerate your digital transformation to the Cloud in 2021!

Are you tired of waiting for free disk space to be available in your company’s lab environment or for approvals to spin servers with the most recent version of your favorite Oracle software you have been craving to test? Time has come where those frustrations are merely a distant memory. Companies like Hashicorp and their flagship software vagrant coupled with VirtualBox provide a technology that allows DevOps to empower your laptops into a solid launchpad for the most inventive stack you could think of. Join this session to have a front-row experience on vagrant and how you can benefit from it in your next project.

RMOUG’s Training Days is the premier grass-roots user training event in the U.S., offering technical and functional educational sessions from world-renowned experts.

For almost 30 years, Training Days has been hosted by RMOUG, an active, independent, non-profit organization striving to provide its members with instruction, guidance, and networking events throughout the year, including a multi-page quarterly newsletter full of topical content and tips.

Moving to the cloud isn’t easy. It requires effort and skills and, in most cases, downtime. How can you minimize all three requirements and move your database with minimal downtime running just one command from the command-line? We’ll discuss the benefits and challenges of different migration methods and where the Oracle Zero-Downtime Migration tool can save time and effort. The discussion will be based on real migration cases and on-hands experience of moving a large database environment to the new home.

We just scripted an entire data center migration to OCI that would have taken a year to design and implement in less than 24 hours. Join this informative session where practical in-the-field experiences are shared. There is almost no reason to still have an on-premises datacenter. Both lift-and-shift and IaaS consolidation methodologies are discussed while introducing the OCI resource manager framework for using Terraform on OCI to codify infrastructure.

This December we will be bringing together the Oracle communities to cover both Oracle Technology and Applications. We know that you don’t want to sit on a Zoom call all day, no matter how good the content, so we have decided to split the conference across four afternoons. Each day you will be able to move between presentations, roundtables and virtual networking spaces depending on what appeals to you at the time.

For the first time in two years the UKOUG will be bringing together applications and technology members in one conference. We will be delivering your content across the following areas:

• APEX
• Analytics & Data Science
• Cloud/Saas
• CX
• Database
• Development
• E-Business Suite
• EPM & Hyperion
• ERP
• HCM

Exadata Cloud at Customer Gen 2. Oracle Cloud in your Datacenter

Gleb Otochkin, Eclipsys Solutions

Abstract
Exadata Cloud at Customer (ExaCC) provides a unique opportunity to move your databases to the Oracle cloud without leaving your own data center. It allows cloud flexibility and keeps full control over the data and can be an excellent opportunity for the first step to the cloud before the full adoption of the public cloud approach. During the presentation, we will discuss available options, calculate cost and capacity, and how to move your databases over to the ExaCC. We will discuss the necessary organization and process changes based on the real experience of deploying one of the first Gen 2 ExaCC in Canada.

We will walk through available options for ExaCC Gen2, the principal architect, and what we need to keep in mind when we estimate capacity.

The second part will be dedicated to migration options and what tools can be used for testing, migration, and how to make it with minimal downtime.

The third part will be about changes required from the in-house DBA team and the company’s processes and change management after migration to the new environment.

All are based on the real experience of multiple migrations to the ExaCC Gen 1 and Gen 2.
