• Enables you to schedule recurring health checks at regular intervals
• Sends email notifications and diff reports while running in daemon mode
• Integrates the findings into Oracle Health Check Collections Manager and other tools of your choice
• Runs in your environment with no need to send anything to Oracle

You have access to Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk as a value add-on to your existing support contract. There is no additional fee or license required to run Oracle ORAchk and Oracle EXAchk.
