Does it do any sort of dynamic DBMS_PROFILER implementation. Something like... Start profiling session(s), most time in package FOO, stop profiling in other packages, report on time spent in FOO. At the moment this type of thing can be quite painful. Also I understand pricing for OEM in 10 has changed. I am not happy with the every changing pricing models. -----Original Message----- From: Spears, Brian [mailto:BSpears@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 14, 2005 3:31 PM To: Post, Ethan; stellr@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: oracle-l Subject: RE: A Challenge We painfully made 9i OEM work...but 10g OEM kicks A$$! It really does. Agent auto-connecting... Built in policy violations.. History storage of stats on your database so you can double click on the warning and drill down to the SQL process that gave you problem several days ago. Performance tuner that will show you how to improve the sql ( room for improvement but certainly a time saver). All the alerts can be easily made and copied to other servers. And this one I like... You can do completely compare Unix servers (kernel parameters etc) to see what unix cowboys did to hose the system. Keeps track of all your patches that need update.. Can install the patches for you. Can clone the databases by push button if rman is active. This 10G oem can tell you where is the bottleneck right out to the oracle web server. Soon they will extend to all app servers. There are lots of goodies on this 10g... To me it's finally the monitoring system we've been asking for years. brian -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
