Control Manual Database Access

By default, Oracle is permitted to manually access the database of an environment in emergency situations when an environment is unresponsive and customer has not yet provided a service request to investigate and make the environment available.

You can prevent such manual database access by revoking manual data access using the setManualDataAccess EPM Automate command. If this access is revoked, Oracle cannot execute SQL commands against the tablespace under any circumstance without your explicit permission (allowing manual access) using the setManualDataAccess command. This helps you satisfy the requirement of not allowing unauthorized access to your data.
