Suhen,

I am not aware of any book, but there is a limited number of articles/papers
(most well-known is Tim Gorman's 'Search for intelligent life in the CBO' at
http://www.evdbt.com) that can point you in the right direction. My humble
addition is the one at http://www.geocities.com/john_sharmila/links.htm -
there are a number of ML articles on the CBO itself that will help: Doc ID:
35934.1 is a good one to start. I would personally do the following:

* Trace all SQL coming into a live RBO-only system 
* Identify any code that uses the RULE Hint (in spite of being in a RULE
based DB)
* Create a clone of prod on a server of the same or similar capacity
* Collect Statistics (COMPUTE if you can)
* Set the OPTIMIZER_MODE to CHOOSE; review/reset other CBO related
parameters (see my paper)
* Let the Developers and UA testers loose on that Db
* Use Cary's method to identity the top set of business processes and
determine if the performance is Ok
* If not Ok, then tune it...

All the best!
