a lot of the database accounts cannot be mapped back to their Windows
(Unrelated to the original topic)
Most of our databases are what we call shared database environments. Each
serves tens of different applications. The most efficient way for documentation
we have found is to create the file ~oracle/PatchNotice.txt on the server, or
in case of RAC, on the first node of the cluster. In it we record TNS connect
identifiers (optionally with schema names if the names are not obvious), email
contacts, standard patch notification message, like this
---------------- PatchNotice.txt ------------------------
ACCNT: john@xxxxxxxxxxx
HR (schema: ps_owner): mary@xxxxxxxxxxx,david@xxxxxxxxxxx
...
To: john@xxxxxxxxxxx,mary@xxxxxxxxxxx,david@xxxxxxxxxxx
Subject: Production database ORCL down for maintenance
Hi All,
We will performance database maintenance at ...
Connect identifiers pointing to the ORCL database are:
ACCNT HR ...
Please let us know if the notification list should be updated.

Quite often, when the regular maintenance notice is sent, we receive emails
from our clients and we make changes accordingly.
