Title : OTM performance tuning, with a focus on Oracle Database tuning
Speaker: Eric Rosenbloom - Technical Consulting Manager, Oracle
Eric Rosenbloom will discuss his top-down approach to OTM performance tuning, whereby one starts with a particular reproducible user-perceived performance problem, and then drills down to determine the root causes of the problem. The talk will utilize a real-life case study whereby a particular user-perceived performance issue is identified, reproduced, analyzed, and specific configuration changes are then made to eliminate the problem. The method is compared with the less effective bottom-up approach.
