The Onsite Install Service provides a well-documented, standardized database installation process for Oracle 9i databases. This fixed-price service includes building both a production instance and an OEM/OMS server instance to manage and backup the production database instance. This service makes extensive use of the Installgen product to efficiently create the database installation, performance tuning, backup, standby setup scripts, and documentation files.

The features and benefits of using the Onsite Install Service include:

Fixed Price Service - You know up front what the cost will be to perform all of the services which will be completed, including local travel costs. There are no unpleasant surprises because the process is standardized and well documented based upon the files created by the Installgen application.

Well Documented and Standardized Process - The services performed during the Onsite Install process are based upon the tasks listed in the tasklist spreadsheet produced by Installgen. This spreadsheet provides a management overview of the installation process and responsibilities.

Fast and Efficient Programming - The writing of the installation scripts and documentation is completed within a few seconds by the Installgen application. The DBA can spend more time with the customer analyzing the intended database loading and performance needs and less time writing the actual scripts. Troubleshooting and debugging time is also greatly reduced because the writing of the scripts is automated.

Improved Security - The post install scripts created by Installgen always change the default database passwords after the database has been built.

Implementation of Oracle Best Practices - You do not have to sacrifice quality in order to achieve a quick installation schedule. Extra care has been taken to include Oracle´s best practices into each script because the philosophy is to write the scripts once, but write them with the highest possible quality. This means generating scripts to perform multiple types of backup procedures for each database in order to give the DBA the flexibility to pick the most appropriate scripts to use for a particular database instance. This also means logging of disaster recovery information every time a database backup is peformed.

15 Database Recovery Scenarios - A comprehensive listing of common database recovery scenarios is created within the documentation file created for each database. Virtually all of these recovery scenarios contain customized text using the parameters which were entered into the graphical interface. The objective is to document each commonly required recovery process well in advance of the time when it will be needed in order to reduce mistakes. During the high-stress environment of a database recovery you don´t want to be looking around for your notes concerning how to recover your database. It is important to have this information pre-written, and customized for the exact database you are recovering. Each scenario is summarized at the start of this section of the document in order to reduce the amount of time required to find this vital information.

Post-Install Tasks are Supported - Getting the database installed is not the end of the process either! In order to complete a database installation, the DBA must configure CRON/AT or OEM jobs to perform RMAN backups, collect CBO stats, generate schema stats and rotate log files (including the ALERT.LOG). It is easy to get interrupted and end up skipping these tasks if the DBA gets called away on an emergency. However the scripts created by Installgen make this process largely menu driven during the post install script, thus reducing the chance that they will be accidentally skipped. Post-install tasks which used to take hours are now reduced to just a few minutes.

The Onsite Install service follows the same support matrix as the Installgen application. In order to provide a fixed price services with this rich feature set it is necessary to automate the install tasks with scripts created by the Installgen application. Please see the Installgen support matrix page for more info.

The Onsite Install service can be combined with the Onsite DBA service to provide additional features which would not normally be included with the standard tasklist. The database can be installed using the fixed price Onsite Install service, and all of the post install tasks could be completed in order to prepare the server for production. Then additional tasks could be performed which might include setting up Advanced Replication, database migration or standby database setup. These additional services can be added at an economical hourly rate.
