The Problem

A large MGA client site was experiencing extensive problems with performance and robustness on their mission critical database.

The Solution

MGA EagleEye™ was installed to identify the problems and tune the database.

MGA EagleEye™ soon established that the ad hoc reports running on the database were seriously impacting online users' performance. When the response times went up, MGA EagleEye™ would automatically capture what was running and provide clear and documented evidence of the cause of the performance issues.

These insights allowed a recommendation to be made to migrate to a separate reporting server to take the load off the main database server. Additional software, MGA Duplica™ allowed the client to replicate from the current 8.0.3 production database to Oracle9i, allowing the users to take advantage of the substantially improved functionality of the new version.

Very impressed with the results, the client requested that data be replicated from many applications to the reporting database using MGA Duplica™. This solved the problem of users having to access disjointed data across multiple databases.

The Outcome

Removing the report users off the main OLTP machine eliminated the need for an expensive hardware upgrade, saving the company 400k. What's more, it became possible to tune the reporting database to provide the reporting users with performance superior to what they were accustomed, and to dcliver a cost effective and efficient way to manage their database.
