I just got a spreadsheet summarizing the stuff we are getting with our licensing terms.

The line I was referring to says "Lifecycle Management Pack." It's the only line I don't recognize and have <some> knowledge of. I'll ask for clarification.

Thanks for the comments!

There are two different things being discussed here, so let's check back on which terminology the original poster meant.

From what I can recall, they mentioned "Lifecycle Management Pack". Tim responded with a discussion on ILM, which others have followed. Others have also used the term ILM when referring to an EM option. That option (or pack) is the ***Database*** Lifecycle Management pack, not ***Information*** Lifecycle Management. The fact that the original poster mentioned the term "pack" inclines me to believe they meant DBLM. However, if they could respond to confirm that, it would make life clearer. :)

Also, someone mentioned DBLM as a repackaging of three earlier 11g packs - the Change Management pack, Configuration Management pack for Oracle Database and Provisioning and Patch Automation for Database. This is not strictly true - it is not just a license consolidation exercise but includes new capabilities as well.

ILM is an ENterprise manager option and is used for provisioning and patching the database as well as provisioning a RAC I've been. POCing this pack and find it works well in a very non customized environment but does cost an arm and a leg <br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
