The Oracle Enterprise Manager products provide online documentation in HTML format.
The Oracle Enterprise Manager products provide online context-sensitive help. You can access online help for a product in multiple ways:
Displaying of large chart groups or large number of individual charts (more than 15 at a time) is not recommended on systems having less than 48 MB of memory.
If the chart window is not large enough to display the chart, only the legend will appear in the chart. Resize the window to view the data.
Any service added to the navigator at runtime is only visible in the navigator during that session. To make the service available for future sessions, it must be added to the Oracle Enterprise Manager discovery cache through the console.
In order to collect disk statistics for a Windows NT host, you must enable disk statistics collection on Windows NT before using Performance Manager or Capacity Planner. This is done by typing the following command on the host to be monitored:
diskperf -Y
Disk statistics will then be enabled the next time the system is restarted.
User-defined charts in do not support a drilldown to another chart.
There is a known memory leak each time a chart is displayed and dismissed which will require a restart of the tool in order to release memory used by the monitor.
If the create-like feature is used to copy a user-defined chart from one database to another, the query uses "select *" and the target database has a different number of columns an unhandled ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException will occur.
If an error occurs while attempting to connect to a target (other than a database), the credentials fields in the logon dialog are reset to their default values.
When killing a session from the lock chart no confirmation dialog is displayed, but the session is killed immediately.
If the TopSessions automatic refresh interval is shorter than the time it takes to do a refresh, TopSessions will thrash in a continuous loop. To break the loop, click on the "Refresh Mode" button on the toolbar to toggle back to the manual refresh mode.
Do not leave TopSessions on auto-refresh with very short refresh intervals (under 20 seconds) for extended periods of time (several hours). Doing so may cause excessive system resource usage.
Note that chapter 3 of the Getting Started with the Oracle Standard Management Pack manual, Introduction to Oracle Index Tuning Wizard, refers to two other Oracle applications: Oracle Expert and Oracle SQL Analyze. These two products are supplied with the optional Oracle Tuning Pack. They are not required to use the Index Tuning Wizard.
To compare the characteristics of two users having different names, you can use a schema map to equate the two users. To do this, you must specify at least one schema object type to compare, then filter out all schemas from the comparison. This method avoids comparing schema objects in addition to the users.
When displaying changed or different SQL or PL/SQL text (as in views, functions, and trigger definitions, DB Diff initially displays only a single line of text. You can enlarge the display row vertically to display all the text.
In the Textual Diff Viewer, text that is present in the left-hand side but not in the right-hand side is marked as "deleted" (colored blue in the viewer), whereas text that is present in the right-hand side but not the left-hand side is marked as "inserted" (colored green).
The title on the right-hand side of the Textual Diff Viewer is incorrect (it is always the same as the left-hand side title).
If you specify "Generate SQL" in DB Capture, but also specify to capture the baseline "later," the SQL will not be generated when you later capture the baseline. You can generate the SQL in the Baseline Viewer once the baseline has been captured. (1,041,775)
If you specify "Generate SQL" and the baseline is very large, the "Close" button on the Capture Progress window becomes active before the SQL script has been fully generated and stored. If you immediately click "Close" a message box with a Fatal Error message may appear. If you dismiss this message box, the Baseline Viewer will launch. The capture of the baseline is not affected by this situation, and the generated SQL script is complete. (1,105,176)
You cannot capture baselines against a version 7.3.4 Oracle database, whose character set is something other than ASCII. The capture will fail with error ORA-01026. (1,171,762)
The following change management applications are provided with the Oracle Standard Management Pack:
These applications are a subset of the applications that are provided with the Oracle Change Management Pack. Note that with the Oracle Standard Management Pack, you have read-only access to database object definitions, and you cannot create change plans.
In the Standard Management Pack, you may see references to other Change Management Pack applications and features. Ignore the information about these applications and features.
In the Standard Management Pack, you cannot access Change Management applications by using context menus in Enterprise Manager or DBA Studio. (That is, when you click the right mouse button on a folder or object under a database, you cannot launch Change Management applications from the resulting menu.) To use Change Management applications, start Change Manager from the Start menu, or from Enterprise Manager (Tools menu or Change Management Pack drawer).
