  • Add 'check logical' option.

    Metanote doc id 388422.1 suggests adding 'check logical' to RMAN backups to check for in-block corruption at backup time. A sample command looks like: backup check logical incremental level = 1 database; It would be nice if there were an option to add this to the backup command. http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/rcmbackp.htm#BRADV149 mentions the syntax for 10g.

  • ctl-exec token expansions

    ctl-exec should allow macro-like expansion of string tokens. Any string-like attribute of a target should be available. As a trivial and contrived example, lets take os.name. I might want to do something like "ctl-exec -- touch /tmp/$OS.NAME$", and before sending the command over ssh, ctl-exec should replace $OS.NAME$ with the appropriate value. If I had multiple application instances...

  • rman10g compress controlfile autobackups

    rman10g supports compressed backupsets, but it does not have a mechanism to automatically compress the control file autobackups, which if taken frequently can amount to a significant amount of data. This patch causes control files autobackups to be compressed if the backup mechanism is rman10g and compression is enabled. Patch is against bkup12b.tar.gz.

  • check_oracle check for valid login

    Some sites enable auditing / alarming of failed logins, and do not allow monitoring tools to be installed directly on their oracle server. This means that --db and --login are not suitable for those installations. A new option along the lines of --validlogin would be beneficial. It should attempt to log with a command-line provided name and password, and check for the output 'Connected to'...

  • Comment: Configuration file

    Oh, and separating the configuration from the code allows a motivated person to make OS-specific packages out of these (such as RPMs), and doesn't interfere with the periodic integrity checks those tools provide.

  • Configuration file

    Might I suggest that dbcontrol's DEPVAR function attempt to load its variables from an external configuration file? That way it is easier to deploy a new version of the script across a large installation without having to customize it on each host. It also makes the tool more cfengine / puppet / IDS friendly as those tools can ensure that the dbcontrol is present and unmodified. I use a...

  • Message typo

    The following is emitted as part of a internal error: Disclosing some of the information above due to privacy reasons is ok. I will try to help you nonetheless, but you have to give me something I can work with ;) . That should say 'Not disclosing [...]', otherwise it is saying that giving you information due to privacy reasons is OK, which doesn't make sense.

  • Optionally exclude some characters

    I would be nice if there was another field on the password generation form that allowed you to exclude certain characters. Just add another checkbox / text field combo under 'Only the following characters' that says 'Exceot the following characters'. This will allow me to remove characters that happen to print confusingly, such as 0/O, without having to uncheck entire classes of...
