Cox Wireless High availability(HA) solution for Oracle order management
Cox Enterprises Inc.
Chowdari Bollam, Sr. Enterprise Applications Engineer
Pavan Nagaraju, Lead Enterprise Applications Engineer
Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a crucial component of Cox Wireless, offering a variety of real-time web services through Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) middleware for on-hand inquiries, order capture, and fulfillment. To ensure uninterrupted services during both planned and unplanned EBS outages, Cox implemented a high availability (HA) solution. This solution utilizes Oracle's Autonomous Transaction Processing (ATP) database, Oracle GoldenGate, and a custom Message Delivery Framework within the OIC layer.
In this presentation, we will explore the various infrastructure components, the high-level architecture, and the detailed technical aspects of this HA Oracle solution. We will also discuss how existing web services were enhanced with high availability using a "store and forward" approach.

Oracle applications underpin the critical operations at Cox Enterprises. Ensuring their optimal performance, availability, and reliability is paramount. This presentation delves into critical role of Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) in achieving operational excellence.
Key areas of focus include:
- Comprehensive Monitoring: The importance of establishing a robust monitoring infrastructure to proactively identify and address potential issues.
- Proactive Incident Management: Best practices for handling incidents, strategies for reducing downtime, accelerating incident resolution, communication, and post-incident analysis.
- Effective Change Management: Implementing rigorous change management procedures to reduce the risk of unintended consequences.
- Fostering Collaboration: The significance of cross-functional collaboration between development, operations, and other teams for operational excellence.
- Efficient Defect and Problem Management: Implementing a structured approach to identify, analyze, and address root causes.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into how to implement these practices effectively to optimize Oracle application performance, minimize downtime, and deliver exceptional user experiences.
