Creating Executions

You can create an execution to either scale up or down your Exadata database CPUs.

To create an execution:

  1. In the dashboard, click the hamburger menu ( three horizontal lines) at the top-left corner.
  2. From the navigation pane, click Exadata CPU Scaling.
  3. In the Exadata CPU Scaling page, click Create Execution
  4. In the Create & Schedule page, select the Environment Name. The corresponding values are auto-populated in all other fields.

    During creation of a new execution, the data pertaining to the existing CPUs allocated to the Exadata Infrastructure as well for each of the Databases Hosted are shown on a last collected basis. If you feel the last collection time is obsolete or old, you can trigger a data collection and refresh of the data by clicking the Refresh icon at the top banner. The refresh process takes a few minutes to complete.

  5. To scale up or down the CPU allocation on Exadata infrastructure, click the up or down arrow in the OCPU Allocation field. The Databases Hosted section refreshes to display the CPU allocation to database in the selected environment, as well the allocations for all other databases hosted on that Exadata infrastructure.
  6. To scale up or down the other databases hosted on the selected environment, double-click the OCPU Allocation field from the Databases Hosted section.
  7. Click the up or down arrow in the OCPU Allocation fields, corresponding to the databases you want to modify.
  8. Click Create. You are now returned to the Exadata CPU Scaling page, where all the executions are listed. Your newly created execution, including executions in the Database Hosted section will be displayed on the top of the list. The status of the execution is indicated alongside the execution detail as coloured bars, and textually in the Status column:
    • Green - Completed successfully, or queued based on the scheduled time.
    • No color - In Progress, or stopped manually in between the execution run.
    • Red - Failed
    • Yellow - Pending assignment of a schedule by the user.
  9. To search for an execution you created, type the search criteria in the Search field, and press Enter.
  10. To view the log of an execution, click the progress Status corresponding to that execution. A panel opens showing details of each stages the execution went through.
