2 Enterprise Database Management

Enterprise Manager offers the following management packs for Oracle Database:

These management packs can be purchased only with Enterprise Edition. The features in these packs are accessible through Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control and Oracle Enterprise Manager Grid Control, and APIs provided with Oracle Database software.

The following sections in this chapter describe the licensed features for these packs.

Diagnostics Pack

The Oracle Diagnostics Pack provides automatic performance diagnostic and advanced system monitoring functionality. You can access the Diagnostics Pack functionality through Enterprise Manager licensed links. The Diagnostics Pack includes the following features, which you can use after purchasing a license for the Diagnostics Pack.

To determine which links in Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control and Grid Control are part of the Diagnostics Pack, do the following from the Enterprise Manager Home page:

This disables all the links and tabs associated with the Diagnostics Pack in Enterprise Manager. All the disabled links and tabs are part of the Diagnostics Pack and therefore require a pack license.

Tuning Pack

The Oracle Tuning Pack provides database administrators with expert performance management for the Oracle environment, including SQL tuning and storage optimizations. The Oracle Diagnostics Pack is a prerequisite product to the Oracle Tuning Pack. You can access the Tuning Pack functionality through Enterprise Manager licensed links. The Tuning Pack includes the following features, which you can use after purchasing a license for the Tuning Pack:

To determine which links in Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control and Grid Control are part of the Tuning Pack, do the following from the Enterprise Manager Home page:

This disables all the links and tabs associated with the Tuning Pack in Enterprise Manager. All the disabled links and tabs are part of the Tuning Pack and therefore require a pack license.

Change Management Pack

The Oracle Change Management Pack enables administrators to evaluate, plan, and implement database schema changes. Using the Change Management Pack, administrators can investigate and track changes, compare and synchronize objects and schemas, modify schema objects, evaluate the change impact, and if required, undo previous changes. The Change Management Pack makes change management simple and efficient, and minimizes chances for error, thereby reducing the opportunity for data loss and system down-time.

Features

The Change Management Pack includes the following features:

  • Reverse-engineer database and schema definitions

  • Capture and version baselines

  • Compare databases and schemas, or baselines

  • Copy database objects with data, with a subset of the data, or without data

  • Update database object definitions (ALTER TABLE)

  • Synchronize objects and schemas

  • Evaluate the impact of changes

  • Clone or propagate application schemas

In order to use the features listed above, you must install the Java console version of Enterprise Manager, which you can find in the /companion directory of the installation medium. The use of this interface requires licensing of the Change Management Pack.

The following licensed pages and links of this pack apply to change management for Oracle Databases.

  • From the Grid Control Home page, select the Databases sub-tab. In the Related Links section, the following links and associated pages are licensed as part of the pack:

Configuration Management Pack

The Configuration Management Pack for Oracle Database automates the time-consuming and often error-prone process of software configuration, software and hardware inventory tracking, and policy management. You can access the Configuration Management Pack functionality through Enterprise Manager licensed links. The Configuration Management Pack includes the following features you can use after purchasing a license for the Configuration Management Pack.

In Enterprise Manager version 10g 10.1, three additional features were part of this pack: patch deployment (patch database and view patch cache, patch staging), clone Oracle home, and clone database. These features are no longer part of the Configuration Management Pack. They are now part of the Oracle Provisioning Pack, which is licensed with Enterprise Manager. However, if you have previously licensed the Configuration Management Pack for Oracle Database, you are entitled to use these features without licensing the Provisioning Pack.
