Nortel Networks Confidential 3 Overview The Database Module uses the Oracle Enterprise Manager to configure, administer, and monitor provisioned subscriber and configuration data. How this guide is organized This document provides an overview of Database Module architecture, including data replication and data transfer concepts. The following principal tasks performed with the Database Module are also documented. • Configuring the Oracle Enterprise Manger to perform backups, observer acc

4 Overview Nortel Networks Confidential Architecture As shown in Figure 1, the Database Module consists of Oracle Servers having a primary database and a replicated secondary database managed from the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Console. The Oracle databases operate in replicated mode and applications and components normally send and receive data directly to and from the primary database. Monitoring logs, alarms, and operational measurements, OEM login, and maintenance updates are

Nortel Networks Confidential Overview 5 For information about the communication protocols and interactions between the Database Module and network components, see Figure 2, “SQL over JDBC,” on page 11. Each database includes replicated objects and non-replicated objects. Tables are the only objects that are replicated. Non-replicated objects include stored procedures, functions, and views. Minimal, redundant, and variable server configurations are supported in enterprise deployments. Re

Table 1 Database operational states Database states Description Normal Fully writable for applications. Inserts, (Primary database) updates, or deletions are permitted to the primary database. The Oracle Server continuously transfers changed data to the secondary database. Limited write Read only for applications with the (Secondary exception of registrations (inserts, u

Nortel Networks Confidential Overview 7 Data transfer When data transactions occur, updates to the primary database are queued for transfer to the secondary database. Similarly, changes made to the secondary database are queued for transfer to the primary database. See “Database failover” on page 19. The data transfer process between the primary and secondary databases is managed by push and purge jobs, described as follows: Push jobs: When push jobs execute, they reassign all transactio

8 Overview Nortel Networks Confidential Database recovery Recovery restores a database to its original state after a failure. See “Database recovery” on page 84. Manage replication transaction errors The OEM Console provides tools for resolving replication errors, should they occur. Replication errors can result from a lack of available space in a table targeted for an update or other unresolved replication conflicts. For additional information, see “Resolving replication errors” on pag

Nortel Networks Confidential Overview 9 Events: Database events are processed by the Oracle Enterprise Manager and alerts are generated when specified error thresholds are reached. Monitor events as required and respond to alerts as appropriate. See “Event monitoring” on page 23. Alert logs and trace files: When an Oracle process detects an internal error, it dumps information about the error into a trace file. Each Database Module also has an alert file. The alert file is a chronolog

Nortel Networks Confidential Overview 11 Network interfaces and protocols User interfaces which access the Database Module are: SQL over JDBC: The Database Module communicates with network components using Structured Query Language (SQL) over Java Database Connection (JDBC). See Figure 2, “SQL over JDBC,” on page 11 and Figure 1, “Database Module architecture normal operation,” on page 4. As shown in Figure 2, all communication between applications and the Database is by SQL over JDBC

12 Overview Nortel Networks Confidential the System Management Console. The OracleMonitor extracts (using SNMP gets and SQL queries) information concerning the health of the database. This information is then transformed into alarms/logs/OMs, allowing the data to be viewed from the System Management Console Alarm/Log/OM browsers.

Nortel Networks Confidential Upgrades 15 Reverting to a previous version of the database If you want to revert to a previous version of the database, you must redeploy a previous version of the database over the current database. In such a scenario, the user is first prompted to confirm that they want to revert to a previous version of the database. The user is then warned that doing so removes data gathered since the previous update. An older version of the database is then restored. See
