Integrating with Oracle® databases
WLM allows you to place Oracle database instances and other
applications in their own WLM workloads. With the instances and
applications separated in this manner, WLM can then manage the
performance of each instance and application through prioritized SLOs.
These SLOs typically attempt to ensure:
• A consistent level of performance
• The needs of critical instances are met—even during peak demand
• Resources are allocated based on time of day, system events, or
application and database metrics
HP has developed a toolkit, HP-UX WLM Oracle Database Toolkit
(ODBTK), to simplify getting metrics on Oracle database instances into
WLM. This toolkit, which is included with WLM as part of the WLM
Toolkits product, works with:
Oracle 8.0.x, Oracle 8.1.5, Oracle 8.1.6, Oracle 8.1.7, Oracle 9.0.1
