RE: How do you rotate OEM 12c paging different DBAs on the team....

For phones:
I have been 24/7 for years, so I don’t rotate at the moment, but in the past I found that two weeks on, and Wed to Wed to work great, especially around holidays. And it’s a lot longer before it comes around again.

The person going ‘off’ call could be responsible for forwarding the number to the next DBA’s phone on Wed morning.

So many Holidays fall on Monday and Friday, that it makes it hard to schedule a three day weekend vacation.

If you physically ‘hand’ a phone to the next DBA, you would virtually have to do it on a weekday, and Monday holidays make it so that can’t happen.

You can ‘forward’ a number to next DBA phone – and it would not matter if it is Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday… but who even wants to make sure they are up every Sat morning to forward it.

Well, that’s my Ç.02

We use two layers of alerts setup like this.

1. WARNINGS get emails sent to all DBA’s. The on-call DBA should be checking emails. There are times when the on-call DBA may need to step away and asks another to watch his back and that is why we all get the emails. The subject line is formatted to make easy sorting. This might be something like filesystem >= 85%.
2. CRITICAL alerts send text messages to all DBA’s. This is valuable because my phone is sent to silent for emails, but makes an obnoxious sound for text messages and I will pay attention to them. Regardless of on-call or not our team will communicate and figure out who is attending to the alert so we know someone is on it. This is something like blocking locks, filesystem >= 95%, etc. In our environment if we get a text there will also be an email with more detailed information.

We are in the middle of setting up OEM 12c. I setup a separate Incident Rule set for the production group and critical alerts.

I am thinking about setting up a different OEM user whose email is the texting addresses of the DBA team.

We do not carry a pager but we have corporate Blackberrys. So I am trying to determine how we would rotate who receives the page dependent on who is on call.

So I am wondering what other sites do? Any pointers? Links? Ideas?

TIA. Chris
