The Oracle Parallel Server Management User's Guide explains how to start up, shut down, and monitor the activity of your Oracle Parallel Server (OPS) using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. Oracle Enterprise Manager is Oracle's graphical administration and networking tool for distributed database environments.
This guide describes only those features of Enterprise Manager which pertain to managing Oracle Parallel Server. For a complete description of the functionality and basic components provided by Enterprise Manager, refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation set.
This guide is written for Oracle Enterprise Manager users, such as database administrators (DBAs) or system administrators, who maintain parallel servers in their network. System management tasks are performed on the Enterprise Manager Console running the Microsoft Windows NT® or Microsoft Windows 95® operating system.
This guide assumes that you are familiar with the administrative tasks you want to perform on your Oracle8 Server. If you are not, refer to the Oracle8 Server documentation set which contains thorough descriptions of the database administration tasks you can perform with the Oracle Enterprise Manager tools. In addition, the Oracle8 Server documentation provides recommendations on how to administer your database optimally.
If you have not yet read the introductory chapters of the Oracle8 Server Administrator's Guide or the Oracle Enterprise Manager Administrator's Guide, we recommend that you do so. These chapters describe the specific responsibilities of a database administrator and the basic operation of the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
This guide also assumes that you are familiar with the operation of either the Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system. Refer to the documentation for your operating system, if necessary.
