Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Executive Overview
The Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression Option (ACO) introduces a comprehensive set of compression capabilities designed to help customers maximize resource utilization and reduce costs thereby reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). It allows IT administrators to significantly reduce their overall database storage footprint by enabling compression for all types of data including relational (tables), unstructured (files), and backup data. Although storage cost savings are often seen as the most tangible benefit of compression, innovative technologies included in the Advanced Compression Option are designed to reduce resource requirements and technology costs for all components of your IT infrastructure including memory and network bandwidth. The volume of data being retained on-line increases the need for Life Cycle Management. Typically historical data is partitioned and moved to low-cost storage. Advanced Compression reduces the storage costs further ensuring that application performance does not degrade unacceptably. Oracle has saved more than 68 TB across its Oracle E-Business Suite implementation.

Introduction
This white paper details tests performed with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 running on Oracle Database 11g Release 1 with Advanced Compression using a mix of online and batch workloads to validate and quantify the benefits of Advanced Compression. The tests described in this paper focus on the OLTP Table Compression feature of Advanced Compression. Representative batch and online workloads were selected, such as the OrderTo-Cash and Payroll Batch flows in addition to various Self-Service and Forms based online processes. The benchmark information includes details of the workloads, the tables chosen for compression, and test descriptions. The test results are analyzed and evaluated and used to provide a set of recommendations.

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Advanced Compression Overview

Oracle introduced basic table compression in Oracle 9i, which compresses data loaded via bulk operations using direct-path insert. OLTP Table Compression in Oracle Database 11g uses a unique compression algorithm specifically designed to work with OLTP applications. The algorithm works by eliminating duplicate values within a database block and even across multiple columns. Compressed blocks contain a structure called a symbol table that maintains compression metadata as shown diagrammatically in Figure 1. In addition to the benefit of saving storage with OLTP Table Compression, Oracle Database can read compressed blocks directly without decompression either on disk or in memory. Therefore, there is no measurable performance degradation for accessing compressed data. In fact, in many cases performance may improve due to the reduction in I/O as fewer blocks are accessed for a given set of rows. Figure 1 shows an example of database block compression, which can be enabled at table or partition level.

Figure 1. Block Compression

For DML operations Oracle Database compresses blocks in batch mode rather than compressing data each time a write operation takes place. A newly initialized block remains uncompressed until data in the block reaches an internally controlled threshold. When a transaction causes the data in the block to reach this threshold, the entire block contents are compressed, as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Block Compression

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

As of 11gR1, update operations incur some overhead as updated rows have to be decompressed before writes and therefore the update frequency is one factor to consider when choosing tables or partitions to be compressed. Read-only operations should benefit from a performance improvement while update-intensive operations will incur some overhead. However, this is expected to balance out given the common read-intensive I/O patterns seen in most OLTP applications.

Testing
This section details the test environment and the application flows used in each scenario. It then describes the testing methodology and discusses the results.

Test Environment
The hardware and software details for the test environment are as follows:

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Test Scenarios
The following Oracle E-Business Suite flows were tested:

Batch Flows The following batch jobs are CPU and I/O intensive:

Payroll Process Consists of 7 programs processing 10,000 employees, using 4 workers. This process contains significant row-by-row processing. Order-To- Cash Consists of 12 programs from the Supply Chain and the Financials product families, processing, invoicing, accounting and posting data for 5,000 order headers and 50,000 order lines, using 4 workers. This process is a mix of row-by-row and bulk processing.

Online Flows The following read-intensive online scenarios assess the impact to end-user response times:

Self Service 100-user test of 7 Self Service actions related to expenses, timecards, and payslips. Oracle Forms 120-user test of 16 Purchasing actions related to creating, approving, and searching purchase orders and invoices.

Testing Methodology
The following briefly summarizes the testing methodology used to compare both the storage savings and performance impact of Advanced Compression with Oracle E-Business Suite.
Step 1: Establish Baseline

All of the test scenarios were executed prior to enabling Advanced Compression in order to establish a performance baseline.
Step 2: Enable OLTP Table Compression

All tables accessed during the baseline tests were identified. Of these, the largest 200 tables were selected (listed in Appendix B) for OLTP Table Compression. Prior to enabling OLTP Table Compression, each table was first reorganized by using the ALTER TABLE MOVE command, and the baseline size of the table was recorded. Then, OLTP Table Compression was enabled on each table using the ALTER TABLE MOVE COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS command. The delta between the MOVE and COMPRESS was recorded.
Step 3: Run Test Scenarios with Advanced Compression

All the test scenarios were run with OLTP Table Compression enabled. Storage consumption and performance statistics were collected including Automatic Workload Repository reports, host CPU statistics, batch program runtimes, and end-user response times. The results of each test were validated by comparing the expected and actual results including, for example, the number of orders or employees processed.

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Test Results
Tables with more than 255 columns or that include columns with the LONG data type cannot be compressed using OLTP Table Compression as it is not supported. The test environment contained 38 tables totaling 1.4 GB that could not be compressed due to these restrictions. The focus of this benchmark was OLTP Table Compression. Columns with BasicFiles LOBs were not converted to SecureFiles LOBs and therefore not compressed. Indexes were not compressed. Clearly the total savings would have been greater if these objects had been compressed.
Storage Savings

As discussed, each table was initially reorganized to ensure that the space saving observed from OLTP Table Compression was attributed only to the compression technology. Table 1 shows the storage savings achieved using Advanced Compression.

Observations

The space savings from reorganizing the tables prior to enabling OLTP Table Compression was insignificant at 110 MB. However, this was a new install and the amount of space saved is likely to be far more substantial on an OLTP system that has been operational for some time. OLTP Table Compression reduced the size of the tables from 21.8 GB to 6.9 GB as shown in Table 1. This equates to a 68% reduction in storage utilization, which is approximately a 3:1 compression ratio. The storage savings achieved by implementing OLTP Table Compression can vary across tables depending on the data. Tables that store similar data typically achieve higher compression ratios. The tables in this test environment achieved compression ratios ranging from better than 5:1 to less than 2:1. The following is the distribution of compression ratios in the VISION test environment with additional data for this benchmark:

36 tables with a compression ratio > 5:1 27 tables with a compression ratio between 4:1 and 5:1 90 tables with a compression ratio between 2:1 and 4:1 40 tables with a compression ratio < 2:1

During the initial run of this test scenario with Advanced Compression, one of the execution plans changed causing a performance regression in the View Payslip screen. Typically, this type of problem can be resolved using a range of techniques including, for example, by gathering statistics, using SQL Profiles, or using SQL Plan Baselines. The results show the performance results after the execution plan was corrected, in this case, by using a SQL Profile.

Overall performance of the Payroll Batch improved considerably, even though the Payroll Process and Check Writer regressed as shown in Table 5. For the programs where elapsed times improved, the performance increased between 4% and 26% and this compares well with the reduction of between 1% and 9% for the other slower programs. However, note that the actual time difference on the slower programs is only a few seconds and therefore relatively insignificant.

Figure 6 Payroll Batch Flow CPU Usage Comparisons

The graph in Figure 6 shows that average CPU consumption increased by 3.7% with Advanced Compression, however it completed quicker.

Observations
The following observations were made during the tests: Some of the SQL execution plans changed reducing performance. These issues could be remedied using Gather Statistics, SQL Profiles, or SQL Plan Baselines. The first approach should always be to Gather Statistics. The online workload showed an improvement in response times of up to 30% at the expense of a small increase in CPU of up to 6%. The variance in the results in these tests depends on several factors such as how much DML is performed. For example, the Self-Service flow is more readintensive so response times improved significantly as expected. The Order to Cash Batch scenario is a write-intensive workload and therefore expected to decrease in performance when compared to the other tests. The results show that with Advanced Compression the runtime increased by 0.43% and CPU usage decreased by 7%. The Payroll Process Batch workload is both CPU and I/O intensive. With Advanced Compression the runtime reduced by 17% with an additional 3.7% CPU usage. There can be increased overhead for Advanced Compression customers running with the initialization parameter db_block_checking set to TRUE. Setting this parameter to TRUE causes Oracle to check for corruption on every block change. This block checking process is a function of number of rows per block. With compressed tables, more rows fit into one block and therefore more data will be checked resulting in higher CPU consumption. Database corruption is exceptionally rare and Block Checking is not recommended for Oracle E-Business Suite.

GSI Observations
In 2009 Advanced Compression was implemented with Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 on the Oracle Global Single Instance (GSI). The database reduced from 17 TB to 13 TB after compressing 110 of the largest tables and indexes, which equates to a total saving of 68 TB across the primary, standby, and associated test systems. This also reduced the storage for development clones and backups. As an aside, Advanced Compression has saved 365 TB on the internal Beehive Email system. There were two phases of compression in the Oracle production Global Single Instance, which are as follows:

Phase 1 compressed ~102 of the largest tables (listed in Appendix C), ~700 associated indexes and LOBs on these tables (after migrating to SecureFiles). This freed up 5.6 TB of database storage. Phase 2 compressed the next ~160 largest tables (and associated indexes) which freed up a further 620 GB of database storage The total GSI production primary space saved is 6.2 TB

Overall, Oracle has saved 68 TB of storage including 2 production databases with corresponding standby, test, and development databases.

Recommendations
The following observations were made during the tests for this whitepaper or during the Advanced Compression with GSI.

Index Compression: As with tables, it is prudent to apply compression to the subset of indexes that provide significant space reduction rather than applying index compression on all indexes. The main reason for this recommended approach is to minimize the execution plan changes. For example, if the size of the index is reduced, the plan may change to perform a full index scan rather than a range scan. Patches: Review and apply the recommended Advanced Compression Option and DML/Space Layer patches listed in Appendix A. The latter are not directly related to Advanced Compression, but these are highly recommended as they constitute optimizations to the space layer code, which is used by Advanced Compression. SQL Plan Regression: Expect some SQL execution plan regressions when adopting Advanced Compression. As a first step gather statistics on the objects. If this doesnt resolve the problem then consider using SQL Profiles or SQL Plan Baselines. DML Intensive Operations: As stated in the overview, Advanced Compression is an ideal choice for saving space with read-intensive operations and can reduce the associated Disk I/O. The performance of DML intensive operations may be reduced, and may incur additional CPU when time is spent compressing data blocks.

11

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Row Chaining: Row chaining is observed on UPDATE intensive tables resulting in a partial loss of compression for the blocks involved in the transaction. In 11gR2, chained rows will be recompressed when the used space threshold is exceeded for the data block. ITL Contention: Some ITL contention issues resulted in a deadlock on the internal production system. These were caused by a lack of ITL slots when operating under high levels of concurrency. This is not caused by the compression, but is an artifact as inherently storing more rows per block increases the block density. The issue can be resolved by increasing initrans on the table, which will increase the ITL slots. Alternatively you could increase pctfree, however in this case the space saving will be reduced. High Transaction Tables: Depending on your application usage, consider excluding high transaction tables such as FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS. In exceptionally busy systems, compression is likely to exacerbate the buffer busy waits as there are more rows per block. If you have a high level of concurrent throughput, you will generally find that this is usually among the top segments for buffer busy waits even without compression. SecureFiles LOB Compression: The LOB data was not compressed for this benchmark. However, LOBs were converted to compressed SecureFiles on the Oracle Global Single Instance with the deduplication feature. Savings totaled 26 TB across the production, standby, and associated test systems.

Planning Your Strategy

When considering compression it is important to review your largest candidate tables. Some of the largest transaction tables in Oracle E-Business Suite have over 255 columns or include Long columns and are therefore not candidates for compression. It goes without saying that it is better to start by compressing your largest tables based on the 80/20 rule, in that 20% of your tables likely consume 80% of the space. As stated in the overview, update operations will incur some overhead (so performance may be reduced and possibly incur additional CPU) as updated rows have to be decompressed before writes. Therefore this is one of the design choices and requires careful evaluation for tables or partitions subject to frequent updates. As with tables, index compression can also provide significant storage savings. Oracle Database supports compression of both unique and non-unique indexes. In the case of a non-unique index, all index columns can be stored in a compressed format, whereas in the case of a unique index, at least one index column has to be stored uncompressed. Compressing large indexes will maximize the storage savings, but compressing indexes on heavily modified tables would negatively impact performance due to contention. So, careful consideration should be given while choosing indexes to compress. Similarly, an optimum number of columns should be chosen. Oracle Database provides an optimum number of columns and corresponding space savings when the index is validated using ANALYZE INDEX VALIDATE STRUCTURE.

12

Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.1 with Oracle Database 11g Advanced Compression

Columns OPT_CMPR_COUNT and OPT_CMPR_PCTSAVE in INDEX_STATS provide the column count and space savings respectively. Oracle Advanced Compression can significantly reduce the TCO of an Information Lifecycle Management strategy. One very simple approach is to implement time-based partitioning and then move non-current or historical data partitions to low-cost storage. Partitioning is supported for the Oracle E-Business Suite though you may not change an existing integral partitioning scheme. Oracle Advanced Compression can increase the data density either further reducing the need to expand lowcost storage, or it may even substantially defer the infrastructure requirements for secondary storage. In addition to compressing data stored within the database, Oracle Advanced Compression also includes the capability to compress backed up data. This includes RMAN compression technology that can dramatically reduce the storage requirements for backup data. Due to RMANs tight integration with Oracle Database, backup data is compressed before it is written to disk or tape and doesnt need to be uncompressed before recovery - providing an enormous reduction in storage costs. Oracle Advanced Compression also includes the capability to compress the backup data generated by Data Pump tool.
