Overview

The Database Module uses the Oracle Enterprise Manager to configure, administer, and monitor provisioned subscriber and configuration data.

How this guide is organized

This document provides an overview of Database Module architecture, including data replication and data transfer concepts. The following principal tasks performed with the Database Module are also documented.

Configuring the Oracle Enterprise Manger to perform backups, observer accounts and email notification. See “Oracle Enterprise Manager configuration” on page 7 and “Configuration management” on page 43.

Administering backup and recovery of data, resolving replication errors, resynchronizing databases, and managing disk space. See “Database administration” on page 7 and “Security and Administration” on page 69.

Monitoring faults related to backups, events, and replication jobs, as well as monitoring alert logs and trace files and disk usage and generating reports. See “Fault management” on page 8 and “Fault management” on page 17.

Required hardware, software, tools and utilities, and OAM&P strategy are explained later in this chapter. See “MCP hardware” on page 10.

Other Database Module concepts and tasks explained are

Upgrades: Maintenance upgrades required between major product releases. See “Upgrades” on page 13.

Performance management: Where to observe logs and alarms and how database failover works. See “Performance management” on page 67.
