Tools and utilities

The following tools are used to configure and maintain the Database Module:

System Management Console: Launches the OEM Console and Oracle Monitoring Application. Provides log and alarm information. For details, see MCP System Management Console Basics.

Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) Console: Used by the database administrator for backup and recovery and database fault management.

For details, see “Security and Administration” on page 69 and “Fault management” on page 17.

Oracle Monitoring Application: Gathers operational status of the database and sends alarms and operational measurements (OMs) to the System Management Console. The tool uses Oracle SNMP agents to gather information about disk and tablespace utilization, and other information.

For details, see “The Oracle Monitor component” on page 41.
