Re: "Oracle Agent"

I think the Data Gatherer (which is used for Oracle tuning pack) is part of the OIA. I think using OIA is mandatory when you want to maintain a remote database like backing up, tuning, diagnosing, etc.

However, on NT, OIA is just the matter of starting the services (OracleAgent80 and DataGatherer80). I still can't launch it under Linux :-(((
