Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 23.7 Release Notes Summary

  • Patching information in Insights: A new section shows database and Grid Infrastructure patches by host and Oracle home, including a patch timeline. It highlights inconsistent patch levels and supports searching for bug and patch details.
  • Mobile-friendly Insights: AHF Insights is now responsive for phone viewing. It also improves default sorting and display behavior across Cluster, Database, and Operating System Issues sections.
  • Simplified Exadata Dom0 operation: Standalone AHF installations can be converted to Typical installations during upgrades using -upgradetotypical, avoiding an uninstall/reinstall. New Dom0 installs use /EXAVMIMAGES as the default data directory to avoid filling /opt.
  • Faster diagnostic redaction: Administrators with sufficient CPU resources can increase AHF CPU limits and use -acrprocesscount to accelerate ACR masking or sanitization. Oracle cautions that redaction is generally better performed on a staging server rather than production.
  • New Orachk checks: Orachk adds checks for inactive patches in both Grid Infrastructure and database homes.
