8. And Oracle 10g To 11g CHASM Is Another
Nightmare For Customers
1. 11g is SCA based (finally), customers will have to migrate their
10g solutions to an entirely NEW SCA environment!
2. All Oracle AIA connections will have to be re-written
3. And the Glue that holds it all together (Oracle Service Bus) is still 10g

11. Accomplishments To Date:
WebSphere Optimizations On POWER7
Doubled the single-instance peak scaling of WebSphere
Application Server from 16 to 32 hardware threads
Met target of POWER7 socket scalability (8 cores, 4 threads
per core)
Single-instance peak performance improved by 85%
Two-instance peak performance improved by 50%
Total of 47 changes prototyped in core classes, resolving
locking bottlenecks, reducing path length, and exploiting
Power Architecture
Expect further POWER7 Performance Enhancements

13. Summary Of Optimizations On The
WebSphere Application Server Stack
WebSphere Reduced code path length when running on Power
Application Optimized to reduce the amount of lock contention on Power
Server Access to AIX environment parameters
Java Virtual Uses 64K pages by default on AIX
Machine Elimination of unneeded exit tests in the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler
Operating Caching optimizations in AIX to improve performance when lock
System contention is occurring in WebSphere
Power WebSphere takes advantage of the increased number of hardware
Hardware threads available in POWER7 systems
Notes:
• WebSphere Application Server optimizations in Fix Pack 9 (7.0.0.9) – to be available soon
• JVM optimizations to be available with WAS Fix Pack 9 as a separate download
• AIX V6.1 optimizations coming in April (Technology Level 5)

21. Network Or Power Failure Between Database
Commits
What happens if there is a failure after the first data base
commit and before the second database commit?
One database has been changed and the changes committed, locks have been
released
The other database has rows locked and is not committed
The transaction is “in doubt”
Failure to recover properly has serious consequences
Data is corrupted – inconsistent between the databases
Held locks impact all applications using the database
Systems will have to be taken down while DBA’s manually “fix the problem”
− And they have to re-construct what happened (time consuming)

22. Think About The Business Implications
Can any business afford to lose orders or money?
Would customers tolerate missing money or shipments with
missing items?
How are inventory levels managed if your inventory tracking
is incorrect?
How are key databases reconciled that get out of sync?
