With regard to the underlying tables...

From http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/options.htm#DBLIC167

  • All data dictionary views beginning with the prefix DBA_HIST_ are part of this pack, along with their underlying tables, except for these views that you can use without the Diagnostic Pack license: DBA_HIST_SNAPSHOT, DBA_HIST_DATABASE_INSTANCE, DBA_HIST_SNAP_ERROR, DBA_HIST_SEG_STAT, DBA_HIST_SEG_STAT_OBJ, and DBA_HIST_UNDOSTAT.
  • All data dictionary views with the prefix DBA_ADVISOR_ are part of this pack if queries to these views return rows with the value ADDM in the ADVISOR_NAME column or a value of ADDM* in the TASK_NAME column or the corresponding TASK_ID.
  • Monitoring Views

Many years ago, I thought I could design my own "alerting" mechanism by using the underlying diagnostic pack tables when I installed the SYSMAN objects in a database (for database control).

Then, I found the above info in the documentation and had to build everything from scratch...no such loophole!

Subject: Diagnostics Pack

From the 11gR2 Licensing doc at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/license.112/e47877/options.htm#DBLIC165

  • Performance monitoring (database and host)
  • Event notifications: notification methods, rules, and schedules
  • Event history and metric history (database and host)
  • Blackouts

In order to use the features listed above, you must purchase licenses for Oracle Diagnostics Pack

Any and all methods of accessing Oracle Diagnostics Pack functionality, whether through Enterprise Manager Console, Desktop Widgets, command-line APIs, or direct access to the underlying data, requires an Oracle Diagnostics Pack license.

So *any* usage of the Performance tab in Oracle Enterprise Manager (hopefully not from command-line scripts which don't use the APIs but query V$SYSSTAT, V$SYSTEM_EVENT !) requires the Diagnostics Pack ?
