Guys.... In this post I'm just sharing my thoughts on nightly batch processes rather than writing any technical solution or design.

The other day we had some issues with a few of the batch processes running in our production. Some of the custom mass update processes where running for hours which slowed down the system and in turn crashing one of the app servers. Luckily we have failover app servers configured, so we didn't receive hundreds of emails and tickets logged by the end users. :-)

The education presentations from COLLABORATE 08 will be available on questdirect.org website until May 15th.

Every year, Oracle makes the Openworld session presentations available for public in a PDF format. Click here to take a look at what is available for you to download.

I will be in San Francisco, CA this coming week attending Oracle Open world. I've heard lots of good things about this event from other colleges so I'm looking forward for it.
I have lots of sessions to attend, will be busy. But I will make sure to put some time aside to enjoy San Francisco!
