Meddelelse



Hi Vidya,
 
The word "Health" can mean a lot e.g.: Compliant to standards, performing, functioning, not corrupted, normalized data design, security, etc.
 
I think you are missing something regarding backup, restore and corruptions:
- Does DBVerify (dbv) report any problems with the datafiles?
- Can a FULL export be made to /dev/null?
- When was the last test of a restore from tape?
- Duplexed controlfiles on different physical disks?
- Multiplexed redo logs?
 
Alert.log:
- Are there any errors in the alert.log?
- Does the customer check the alert.log on a daily basis?
 
The health of the applications:
- Any objects with status "INVALID" in DBA_OBJECTS.? Which?
 
Regards
Jesper Haure Norrevang

Hi
 I am supposed to be doing a database health review for one of the customers.  They have Oracle database  ver9.2.0.3 on HP UX 11i.
 Normallly, we do check the following:
·    OFA standards
·    Purging Strategy
·    Archival Strategy
·    Database server utilization (shared pool area)  - Run Statspack
·    Latest certified combination of Oracle Products.
·    Transaction Management (RBS, Redo)
·    OLTP init.ora parameters
·    Optimizer statistics
·    Custom Code Management
·    NLS Setup
·    Server and storage area configuration.


 Did I miss out on anything?
 Any comments/suggestions/pointers are most welcome.

Thanks and Regards
Vidya
