I got a customer who actually (had to) buy/bought it. So I am going to use it
tomorrow to provision standard db's with it (http://youtu.be/FrmuXE22-rE)
combined with OEM12cR2, for some system administrators who don't want to be
over-flooded by 3rd party software companies and ruining there carefully setup
Oracle VM 3.2.2 cluster environment. Enforcing stuff like our ideas about
security and OFA, we/they should be able to provision 10ths of databases very
quickly, while migrating their old environments.
We will see how good it is within OEM12cR2.

The original poster saw Lifecycle Management Pack on a list of items a new
order was including. So it is definitely DBLM pack and not the ILM APEX thing
that has been around for years. completely different purpose. ILM was never
something a customer could buy. It was just a free APEX app you could use to
define policies to move data based on age. it generated scripts to support ILM.
All of the functionality of Config Management Pack including several
acquisitions Oracle made in that space, along with the functionality of change
management pack, and provisioning pack are all bundled together. There are
some new features along each of those lines in EM12c.
The licensing guide is pretty good about describing what's in the pack.
2.3 Database Lifecycle Management Pack for Oracle Database
The Database Lifecycle Management Pack is a comprehensive solution that helps
database, system, and application administrators automate the processes
required to manage the Oracle Database Lifecycle. It eliminates manual and time
consuming tasks related to discovery, initial provisioning, patching,
configuration management and ongoing change management. In addition the
Database Lifecycle Management pack provides compliance frameworks for reporting
and management of industry and regulatory compliance standards.
The Database Lifecycle Management covers the entire lifecycle of the databases,
including:
* Discovery and Inventory tracking: the ability to discover your assets
and track them.
* Initial provisioning: the ability to rollout databases in minutes.
* Ongoing Change Management: end-to-end management of patches,
upgrades, schema and data changes.
* Configuration Management: track inventory, configuration drift. and
detailed configuration search.
* Compliance Management: reporting and management of industry and
regulatory compliance standards.
The Database Lifecycle Management pack is also a prerequisite for the Oracle
Cloud Management Pack for Oracle Database.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/license.121/e24474/ch2_db_mgmt.htm#BABCFJHA
If you previously owned either "Change Management", "Config Management", or
"Provisioning and Patch Automation", you are entitled to use that corresponding
subset of DB LifeCyclemanagement Pack.
There is a section in the licensing guide that explicitly covers the "Legacy"
naming conventions. Here is one example:
Enterprise Manager Cloud Control no longer offers the Configuration Management
Pack for Oracle Database. Enterprise Manager 10g and 11g Customers who
purchased the Configuration Management Pack for Oracle Database can utilize the
following Configuration Management features in Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.

There are two different things being discussed here, so let's check back on
which terminology the original poster meant.
From what I can recall, they mentioned "Lifecycle Management Pack". Tim
responded with a discussion on ILM, which others have followed. Others have
also used the term ILM when referring to an EM option. That option (or pack)
is the ***Database*** Lifecycle Management pack, not ***Information***
Lifecycle Management. The fact that the original poster mentioned the term
"pack" inclines me to believe they meant DBLM. However, if they could respond
to confirm that, it would make life clearer. :)
Also, someone mentioned DBLM as a repackaging of three earlier 11g packs - the
Change Management pack, Configuration Management pack for Oracle Database and
Provisioning and Patch Automation for Database. This is not strictly true - it
is not just a license consolidation exercise but includes new capabilities as
well.

ILM is an ENterprise manager option and is used for provisioning and patching
the database as well as provisioning a RAC I've been. POCing this pack and find
it works well in a very non customized environment but does cost an arm and a
leg <br/><br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo! Mail for iPhone
