Adapter Overview

Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database

Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database provides job automation for mission-critical Oracle9i,

10g, and 11g databases. It is tightly integrated with Workload Automation to bring the automation,

manageability, and reliability of a premier enterprise automation and management solution to this leading

enterprise database platform. Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database maximizes throughput

and minimize the time consumed by Oracle database jobs driven from within Oracle itself or from data that

comes from other parts of an enterprise.

Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database enables users to schedule PL/SQL commands,

Oracle database jobs, and stored procedures. In addition, the adapter can be used to pre-process and translate

data generated by an Oracle application or module before data is processed by another Oracle application.

With Cisco Workload Automation, Oracle jobs can be integrated into larger, enterprise-wide workflows that are

managed from within a single pane of glass. Dependencies within database workflows can now encompass

events from all of other business-critical applications. As a result, data and application management can be

automated and consolidated under one solution, reducing staff effort and expense while increasing productivity.

How Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database Works

Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for Oracle Database provides customizable options to meet special

schema requirements. No scripting, manual intervention, or changes to an Oracle database or configuration

parameters are needed. Once the adapter is configured, users can define and maintain the details of Oracle

jobs and scheduled tasks—even launching and monitoring jobs already created within the Oracle scheduler—

from within Workload Automation.

The full functionality of this heterogeneous automation solution is now available to the Oracle database, offering

functions, such as extensive alerts on job abnormalities, unavailable resources, real-time status information,

load balancing, and the ability to interact with current and future jobs.
