OATM  Oracle Applications Tablespace Model (OATM)  Takes ~400 Tablespaces and consolidates them to 12!  Easier Maintenance  Available via patch /  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.
