The DBMS_STATS package generates metrics for all Oracle Mail servers. Statistics are transferred between the statistics table and data dictionary, and can be used only when they are stored in the data dictionary. The statistics table enables users to export or import statistics from one database to another. Oracle Mail includes statistics that are collected from a mature system, because there is not enough statistical data when the system is first installed. Users can choose to import these statistics into their systems prior to using their own statistics.
Oracle Mail generates statistical information for each of the various Oracle Mail servers. This information, called metrics, can be used to monitor the health of the Oracle Mail system, and can be viewed using either the Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control Console or the oesmon command-line utility.
This appendix includes the following topics:
Table H-1 lists metrics common to all Oracle Mail servers.
