Anyone have any experience with Compuware ServerVantage, as regards monitoring Oracle databases, they'd care to share? Or simply links to other reading?

My boss just dropped on me an extract of the installation/setup procedure and asked what was needed for account setup on the OS and the database. This is the first I've even heard of this, but it smells like its purchase and implementation might already be a fait accompli. Looks like someone, somewhere else, is trying to solve a percived 'database problem' without doing any internal research or consultation with the DBA's. (This company has a deep history of low and mid-level managers hatching up 'solutions' in a vacuum.)

I'm looking at the Compuware web site, but of course want to gather any other potentially useful info. I'm not trying to mount a knee-jerk opposition, just trying to get educated as quickly as possible so I can decide if counter recommendations are warranted. Received on Tue Nov 14 2006 - 09:00:14 CST
