- Activity-specific Alert History: AHF consolidates relevant log and trace entries into a single chronological history for a given activity, such as a RAC shutdown or disk rebalance. The feature is enabled by default and can be generated with
ahf analysis create --type alert-history. - New best-practice checks: Orachk and Exachk add checks verifying that
