Data Migration and Backup

01
Challenge

Our regular client project included:

  • Move the data of an application hosted by a single instance db on a server with Solaris 10 operating system to a rac hosted by a new Oracle Linux cluster.
  • Standard export/import of schemas via data pump is not possible. Data exceeds 6/7 TB.
  • Multitenant architecture.
02
Goind forward

Carefully analysed the environment, and the documentation material prepared earlier by Sorintians.

03
Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

The proposed approach was tricky, challenging, new, and innovative. Yet, due to our detailed documentation and the activities done during the testing phase. The client accepted the proposed solution. In summary, the activities covered:

  • Applying several db related activities e.g., identification, backup, recovering.
  • Putting tables in read-only mode.
  • Exporting /importing via metadata relating to tablespaces for migrating.
  • Import of schemas metadata on target .
  • Some activities included downtime, other did not.

These are merely an idea of the activities done.

Result & delivery (UTD)

  • Successful migration.
  • 6 hours down time.
  • In a short period of time. NO disruptions and 0 down time.

New Version of Active Directory

01
Challenge

Client’s requirement included:

  • Migrate with no disruption.
  • No native solution.
02
Goind forward

Understanding the environment.

03
Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

It was decided to run and build an innovative script that involves 3 different technologies. SQL, LDAP and different API calls. In summary:

  • The script includes data validation.
  • SQL query to extract user’s data.
  • First API call to capsulate and parameterizes the information. In case exists in the new active directory.
  • Finally, interacting with Keycloak’s APIs.

Result & delivery

  • The script was written, tested, and validated successfully.
  • Keycloak is now running with a new active directory with 0 reported issues.
  • In a short period of time. NO disruptions and 0 down time.

Upgrading Postgres Instance

01
Challenge

Our regular client project included:

  • Upgrading 35 Postgres instance from version 9.46 to version 12.
  • Enhance performance.
  • Critical Production environment. Major databases behind client’s digital banking.
  • Minimal downtime.
02
Goind forward

Carefully analysed the environment and the strategy. All eyes on backup to avoid data loss. Usual in such activities.

03
Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

The proposed strategy was considered safe. Mainly

  • creating multiple logical replicas of those instances.
  • Capturing data from the older nodes.
  • Those replicas were already running on version 12.
  • Later, a simple failover was executed. Dismissing the older instances and running the replicas as master.

Result & delivery

  • Successful upgrading activity.
  • 100% compliance with SLA terms.
  • Contract extension to include NGMS solution and security activates.
