PeopleSoft does support Active DataGuard.   The reports are not stored in
the database, but there are some PeopleTools tables that are updated when
the report starts and finished and is posted to the report repository.

Tables that need to be updated are mapped back to the primary database
through database links.  There are delivered scripts to handle PeopleTools
tables, and you might need to add to that.

 

However, if your report populates working storage tables, then there is no
point running it on the reporting instance.  Some jobs have one process that
populates the reporting table and another that reports from it.  You can
arrange for the first to run on the process scheduler on the primary
database and the second to run on the process scheduler on the reporting
database.  

 

Of course, this approach does not tackle the resource consumption, it just
moves it somewhere else.

Peoplesoft DBAs,

 

The manager of the Peoplesoft application is having an issue with end users
submitting resource hogging reports.

 

We are trying to come up with a solution to solve this issue.

 

One option is to throttle the resources those reports use.  Has anyone else
done this successfully?  This might be an immediate option to at least
"control" the performance issues.

 

Second option is to move the production database to RAC.  Cost is the big
issue here.

 

Third option is Active Dataguard.  There is a cost component to this
solution.  But it appears this is NOT an option since the end users want to
be able to change the reports and the reports are stored in the database.

 

Anyway, I am wondering what other Peoplesoft sites have done?  Any ideas?
Thoughts?  Insults?

 

Thanks,

Chris Grabowy
