MS SQL Server DBA , Peoplesoft DBA, IT

MS SQL Server DBA - Peoplesoft DBAMy primary responsibilities included the support and maintenance of the Peoplesoft HRMS production and development environments. This included troubleshooting application server issues and process scheduler problems. MS SQL Server was the backend database for this peoplesoft environment. I was the primary DBA for the databases that supported the peoplesoft data. I performed all of the database backups and I also performed all of the database cloning and refreshes that were requested as we moved from development to test then to production. This also included performing database refreshes from production into one of ten different testing databases for production problem fixes. The SQL Server database servers were clustered for failover and I performed several reboots of this system.I performed a people tools upgrade from 8.41 to 8.44 and I also performed an enterprise portal upgrade as well. It was my responsibility to setup application messaging between the 8.4 portal and the 8.19 HRMS environments. I setup and configured the application messaging and fixed errors caused by running both a version 6.5 Tuxedo and a version 8 Tuxedo on the same server. My duties also included fixing problems within the crystal reports themselves.Peoplesoft 8.8 HRMS, Peoplesoft Enterprise Portal; Weblogic; Peopletools 8.20; Peopletools 8.43/8.44; MS SQL Server 2000; Clustered Servers; Windows 2000 and 2003 operating systems.

Lead DBA, Oracle DBA, Peoplesoft DBA, MS SQL Serve

As lead Oracle DBA I was responsible for the support of 110 instances of Oracle. Production, Test, QA and Development instances. With a team of 5 oracle DBA’s we provided round the clock (24x7) database services to development teams, production end users and application testing schedules. The databases that were supported ranged in size from 200 gig’s in size to over 3 terabytes in size. The database environment was setup on IBM AIX systems (AIX v4.x and v5.x). The type of support provided was as follows:I planned and setup the database backup and recover strategies across all servers. Oracle 8i RMAN and Oracle 9i RMAN were used to perform backups, exports and archived logs clean up. Multiple RMAN catalogs were used in a single database instance per version of the oracle database. For the data warehouse instances RMAN performed tablespace level backups setup for changes only. The RMAN databases were shutdown daily and cold backups were performed.

Database Administrator / Database Architect

As project manager I reported to the director of finance, and utilized a staff of 15 the reported to me for this project. These 15 people were divided among 4 different projects that I managed separately but simultaneously. The goals of each project had different deliverables but each deliverable was indirectly related to one another. In addition to project managing, I also server as the technical lead and maintained a hands on presence on all 4 projects. This project consisted of numerous activities and technologies in which I was a key consultant. So I will break them down by these categories; Oracle9i DBA, Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, Data Warehouse, E-Business Suite 11i, Oracle Replication Server, Oracle Enterprise Manager, Backup and Recovery and web development.

Database Administrator / Database Architect

Oracle DBA 8;8i;9i / Legacy to Oracle Migration / Database Design Review / Oracle Apps 11i DBA / Lawson Financials DBAMain focus of this project was to migrate from an RDB and several access and MS SQL Server databases into an Oracle environment. The environment was setup with oracle forms as the front end. Oracle Forms server and Oracle Application server with load balancer’s in the middle tier and an Oracle database engine (Oracle 8i / 9i) on the back end.I setup the oracle backend and middle tier. Configured and customized the Forms Server, Reports Server and the Discoverer Server along with the Oracle Web Server and 9i Application Server. Once setup and configured my role moved to the data migration effort where I moved large quantities of data via SQL*Loader and a 3rd party tool called Data Junction from the source systems into the Oracle database. After the data was loaded my responsibilities shifted back to database administration and performance tuning. I was able to recommend many areas of improvement by applying Oracle 8i/9i functionality to the database finding ways to achieve performance boosts (i.e. partitioning, space allocation improvements, utilizing dynamic buffer cache, etc…).Performance tuned an Oracle Apps 11i “environment” to take advantage of hardware and OS capability. I identified “out of the box” deficiencies and made the corrections to the table and index structures (i.e. Index and table partitioning) while data was being migrated from the legacy systems into the Apps environment. I set up vertex to work with this environment. In addition I setup the Oracle concurrent managers and process schedulers for application use. My main interaction with the Apps software was to migrate data into the environment from the legacy system. I did not get involved with any of the customizations that were done.Utilizing 9iAS, I administered, diagnosed, tuned, and planed capacity growth for the entire infrastructure. I setup and implemented an Oracle9i Database, Oracle9i Application Server, and E-Business Suite. I demonstrated how the new OEM prevents system downtime and poor performance before they could adversely affect the client’s oracle environment. I demonstrated hot to track and assess the health of the database and e-business infrastructure with Service Level Reports. I utilized Oracle Designer 6i to reverse engineer the source system and offer suggestions to the Oracle environment that would be connected with the forms front end that was being developed by an off-shore development company in India (Tata). Thus allowing me to serve in the capacity of database design review.

Database Administrator / Database Architect

Oracle 8i; 9i; / Oracle 9iAS / Oracle Data Warehouse DBA / Data Warehouse Design Review / Peoplesoft DBA/ MS SQL Server 2000Primary responsibilities consisted of data warehouse design review and database administration. Anticipating data volume of over a terabyte, I was responsible for the capacity planning, maintenance-support planning, and backup and recovery planning. Working side by side with the database developers we utilized and took full advantage of the newest components of the 8i/9i Oracle Server and Oracle 9i Application Server. I implemented advanced replication, locally managed tablespaces, indexing and table partitioning, parallel query as well as a few other functions found within the database server to squeeze every bit of performance out of the database. This was a ground floor data warehouse that was tuned as it was constructed anticipating large volumes of data and a large number of applications.An existing Informix/Peoplesoft database was converted into Oracle, which included all current and historical data. This data was loaded in large bulk quantities and validated and massaged during the load. Once in Oracle I supported the functional Peoplesoft team as they customized the people code to work with the Oracle database instead of the Informix database. I also helped integrate the Peoplesoft applications with the DSS, manufacturing and enterprise wide reporting database applications so that data feeds from these systems could be sustained through automation and upon application request.In addition I setup all Oracle database backup processes to work with Legato and Oracle Recovery manager (RMAN). I setup RMAN with stored scripts for each Oracle server (15 production and 12 development) running on Sun E-Class server, HP K-Class Servers and Windows NT based platforms all running Oracle. I developed all backup scripts customized for each server (where several servers – including DW- were 24x7 production systems).I built a master plan for adding Oracle Parallel Server to the system for a future implementation scheduled later this year. In addition I performed all the database administration for the production, test and development server, as well as a few other databases on other platforms (NT, Solaris) that needed support.I also setup and supported several SQL Server database environments. Although small in size many of these smaller SQL Server applications/databases were vital to external customers server strategic markets.Peoplesoft 7.5/8.0; People Tools; Oracle 8i/9i; Oracle 9iAS; Oracle Replication Server; DBArtisan (Oracle/Sybase); Q-Diagnostics; Web DB; Sun Solaris 2.6/2.7; ERwin 3.5; Oracle Enterprise Manager; Sun E4K; Microsoft Front Page; PHP; Java; Pearl; MSQ SQL Server 2000;
