> (10.2.0.3) up and running. 10g Grid install and config was a very
> labor intensive process. I think it took our OEM expert about 4 weeks
> with several SRs posted to Oracle Support. We love the looks of 10g
> Grid. However, we are very disappointed to find that we cannot use
> the automatic workload repository or SQL Tuning advisors without
> purchasing the Diagnostics and Tuning packs (at a list price of $3k
> per cpu per pack). These are the 2 newest features that we were most
> excited about using.

> We have a huge need to know what happened to query/batch job that ran
> in the past (say yesterday) because it ran longer than normal. We
> also need to do performance trending on the databases which support
> websites. OEM is great for real-time monitoring but without 10g AWR,
> we can't meet these business requirements. We have discovered a
> little-known tool called Ignite for Oracle by Confio Software. It is
> based on wait-time analysis, does trending and allows you to drill
> into your top offending SQL statements. It runs against both of
> our 9i and 10g databases which is a bonus for us (since we're not
> quite to 10g yet). Ignite also creates wonderful bar charts to help
> explain to Sr. Mgmt what is going on inside the databases.
>
> Our Oracle environment is going to use both -- OEM (the free stuff)
> for real-time monitoring and Ignite for performance tuning/trending.
> Hope this helps !
