Upcoming Features in ION V3
These are some of the future enhancements you can expect from the ION project, already in the works!
Ion v3 will include data mining features that submit
background tasks to identify salient workloads.
Starting with general cohorts (OLTP and DSS), Ion v3 will
perform pattern matching to categorize each workload
period as OLTP and DSS
1 - Searches AWR/STATSPACK for repeating changes to
workloads
a) For HOD - Analyze by hour of
the day to find patterns of similar usage by:
1) Display max(physical reads)
2) Transaction characteristics (high repeated executions,
low I/O for OLTP)
b) For DOW - Analyze cohorts for
day of the week
2 - Recommend - Ion v3 will then justify the answer with
data and make suggestions about what/when to change in
terms of initialization parameters or changes to CBO
statistics.
