Technical Tips & Tricks
Oracle Standby DatabaseProtect and Leverage Your Data Investment by Alan Clark
 Murphy's

when you least expect it to. Alan shares his experience with the
Oracle Standby Database to help ensure that you are well prepared for
such an event.

disaster recovery. However, more customers are leveraging standby
databases as a failover solution especially when hardware failover or
RAC is not implemented.
An Oracle Standby Database may be the "right" choice if,
Your
business requirements justify the cost. For example, your company

The Company We Keep
Remmele Upgrades to Applications 7
 Remmele
Engineering, based in Brighton, Minnesota, with four facilities and
more than $100 million in annual sales, decided to upgrade from IFS
2003-SP2 to Applications7 SP4. Remmele does precision machining,
fabrication, and assembly of complex components.
eNSYNC
Solutions collaborated with IFS and Remmele in the upgrade effort. IFS
handled the technical work by determining which modifications had been
made, updating the scripts for the database, and creating the new
builds for the application. Remmele put together the re-implementation
teams, which were staffed from all functional areas of the company.
eNSYNC assisted in the project management, updating and upgrading of
the hardware, creating the databases, and installing the new version of
Oracle. eNSYNC also conducted "differences" training for the end users
to highlight what new features and functions were available in Apps7
that were not there in IFS version 2003.
