Tuning usually implies fixing performance problems. However, tuning should be part of the life cycle of an application—through the analysis, design, coding, production, and maintenance stages.
An important facet of database system performance tuning is the tuning of SQL statements. SQL tuning involves three basic steps:
• Identifying high load or top SQL statements that are responsible for a large share of the application workload and system resources, by reviewing past SQL execution history from the system.
• Verifying that the execution plans produced by the query optimizer for the statements perform reasonably.
• Implementing corrective actions to generate better execution plans for poorly performing SQL statements.

Deploying your software can be a complex series of steps. Everyone has a horror story of a deployment gone wrong and “that time we took down production.” When an issue with a deployment arises, it’s an all-hands-on-deck situation. Your team gets paged and scrambles to get production working for customers. What we want as engineers is to release features to customers and have the deployment be a routine event, maybe even so routine that the deployment is boring (to borrow a phase from Camille Fournier and her essay Make Boring Plans.) In continuous deployment, we want to create a repeatable process to deploy new software and to discover any issues before the release hits production.
If you’re manually running steps in your deployment process, you juggle a complex workflow, and it’s easy to introduce errors that can lead to a failed deployment. Automating deployments with tools and processes simplifies your deployment workflow and gives you a repeatable and testable process to safely release your latest change to customers.

The Enterprise Manager federation capability is designed for that purpose and has been included since version 13.4 Release Update 4 (RU4). The good news is, there are no additional plug-ins or software installations needed to use it. Federation dashboards provide users a single pane of glass to monitor and drill down into details to triage and manage across all Federated EM sites by geographies or business units.
