OATM

Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM)

Takes ~400 Tablespaces and consolidates them to 12!

Easier Maintenance Available via patch 3381489 / 11.5.10 OATM migration Utility

OATM Migration

OATM takes into account the following object I/O characteristics of an object:– Its size– Its lifespan– Its access methods– Its locking granularity

OATM Migration Actions

Facilitate administration and configuration ease. Take advantage of wide stripe configurations. Allow for conversion to locally managed tablespaces

with uniform extent size. Using uniform extent sizes allows for exact control over unused space.

Take advantage of Automatic Segment Management. Reclaim space after the migration. Increase block-packing, which will reduce the overall

number of buffer gets. Improve recovery times and procedures.
