Enable Database SRDCs for the Platinum Role
Starting in release 23.3, database SRDCs can be run by users with
platinum
role on the system in the dba
group.
When an AHF user has been granted the required AHF role, they can
request a subset of database-specific SRDCs to be executed even if they are
not in the dba
group for that database. Only the AHF owner
(root
) can grant the role.
Predominantly, in the Platinum environment, diagnostic requests are
executed on the customer's system through the Platinum Gateway as the
orarom
user. The specific user may not be
orarom
, but in most cases it is and this user may
be granted the platinum
AHF role.
When a user with the platinum
role (initial
implementation) requests an SRDC collection that requires normally to be run
as a user in the dba
group and is within a limited
whitelist, the request will not be rejected. Instead, the request will be
executed as the DB owner or Grid owner as appropriate.
This solves the case where the Platinum team are not able to gather
some diagnostics automatically through their gateway due to their user not
being added to the dba
group for all of a customers
databases.

Unified AHF Command-Line Interface Monthly Recommended Patches (MRP) Support
In release 23.3, the unified AHF command-line interface has been enhanced to report Monthly Recommended Patches (MRP) information.
In November 2022, Oracle introduced Monthly Recommended Patches (MRP). MRP provides customers with frequent access to recommended and well-tested patch collections. For more information, see Introducing Monthly Recommended Patches (MRPs) and FAQ (Doc ID 2898740.1).
It is difficult for the customers to determine which MRP level and patches they have installed. The AHF command-line now provides a command to query the MRP level and installed patches.
