Minimize Downtime with Rolling Upgrade using Data Guard with Uwe Hesse

Nowadays, system availability is critical to enterprise needs. Production systems need maximum availability, to ensure best availability of system environments to all users. Upgrades often are critical, as those have negative impact to system availabilities.

Starting with 10g, Logical Standby Databases offer a method to minimize the downtime related to a Database Upgrade to the time it takes to do a switchover. This Seminar covers Rolling Upgrades with Logical Standby - in place already or created for that purpose – as well as Rolling Upgrade with a present Physical Standby. Rolling Upgrade procedures, processes and its restrictions are explained. All system requirements will be covered, as well as backup and fallback procedure. No PowerPoint battle!
