set transaction bug?

Is there a bug in 8.0.5.0.0 with set transaction? I did :

        set transaction use rollback segment bigroll; and it didn't use it.
It was the first statement after starting sqlplus.

Guys,

I know this has been covered before, but I cleared out my archive, and now have no listing of it. I would be interested in getting your feedback as to the tasks a DBA should have to perform on a daily/weekly/monthly basis. Things that should be monitored in background, or checked hourly etc. etc.

Do any of you have schedules that you follow daily? It is a bit of a wide and varied question I know, and a lot of you do have varied task to perform depending on your roles. The aspect I am looking in from is on a Production DBA side.

Any insight is greatly appreciated. I will put together a list of things you guys feel should be monitored/managed and post it back to the list/web.

Thanks in Advance

Mark
