Daily Checks

• Check the availability of the database and instance , every 15 mts• Check the availability of the listener, every 15 mts• Check the sync between the primary database and standby database ,every 15 mts or based on the SLA(Service level Agreement)• Check the space sage and make sre that all the tablespace sage isbelow critical level, once in a day• Check the space sage of the archive log file system for both primary andstandby

• !erify the sccess of daily backps, once in a day• !erify the sccess of archive log backps , based on the backp intervalto the backp media• Check the system performance , periodic basis• Check the database performance , periodic basis• Clear the tickets assigned in the ticketing mechanism• Check for the invalid ob"ects• #o throgh the adit files for any sspicios activities• #o throgh the alert logs for any critical ora errors , once in an hor • !erify all the monitoring agent, inclding $%& agent and third partymonitoring agents , once in an hor •

Archive the alert logs , if re'ired• Clear the trace files in the dmp and bdmp directory as per the policy• !erify the stats of daily schedled "obs

Weekly Checks

• Check the database statistics collection. On some databases this needsto be done every day depending upon the requirement• Approve or plan any scheduled changes for the week



• Check for critical and patch updates from oracle• Verify the cron jobs scheduled and clear the output directory if required• Perform logical level backups of important tables• Perform level or cold backup ! this can be changed as per the backuppolicy

Quarterly Checks• Checks for the critical patch updates from Oracle!make sure that yoursystems are in compliance with CP" patches• Verify the accuracy for the backs by creating test databases from thebackup• Verify the accuracy of the #$ mechanism by peforming a databaseswitch over test. %his can be done once in si& months based on the businessrequirements

Daily DBA Checklist• Ensure that previous night's backup is complete and there are no RMANerrors in the backup logs.

• Ensure that any exports which are part o the backup are complete and thedump iles compressed.

• !heck the alert log or any "RA# errors # also or messages like'!heckpoint not complete etc'.

• Ensure that the cron $ob or truncating% saving and renaming alert logsis working # veriy the same.

• Ensure that the archive redo log iles are compressed and have beendeleted. "nly iles or current and previous day should be present.

• All tablespaces should be less than &( ull # run the coalesce commandon all tablespaces to reduce ragmentation. Ensure that space in the )EM* tablespace isreleased and is +,,( ree at the beginning o the day.

• Enough contiguous ree space is available in all tablespaces or ob$ectsto extend i re-uired.

• ackup the control ile to trace so that every day we have a outline othe iles and their locations or each database.

• No ob$ects are within extents o the MA/E/)EN)0 storage parameter.

• All core dumps are deleted rom the 1!23M* area.

• All 4.trc iles are deleted rom the 1323M* area.



• !heck the machine or any disks +,,( ull or nearing that value. 5 adisk has illed up use the 'ind' command to determine iles which have been recentlycreated6modiied . Ensure that all 4.dmp iles are in their proper locations and large 4.dmp iles have beencompressed.

• )runcate the listener.log ile in the 1"RA!7E89"ME6network6log locationi the listener log has increased to a si:e ; than ,, M. Ensure the space is released%otherwise 'reload' listener.

• Run the 'recently created6modiied ob$ects' report to ensure that nounauthorised ob$ect creation6modiication is taking place.

• Ensure that there are no 2M08<"0 with the status o ailed or broken.Also last reresh times o all running $obs should be current.

• !heck to ensure that no ob$ects exist in the database with the status

Auditing the #atabase

Auditing the #atabase ' Overview

Auditing is a method of recording database activity as part of database security. It enables the

DBA to track user activity within the database. The audit records provide information on who

performed what database operation and when it was performed. Records are written to a SS!

owned table named A"D#. The SS.A"D# table is commonly referred to as the audit trail.

Auditing information is not collected without some impact on performance and database

resources. $ow much of an impact auditing will have on your system depends largely on thetype of auditing you enable. %or e&ample' setting high!level auditing such as connection

activity will not have as much of a performance impact as tracking all S() statements issued

by all users. It is best to start out with high!level auditing and then refine additional auditing as

needed.

Auditing can only be performed for users connected directly to the database and not for

actions on a remote database.

Auditing should be enabled if the following types of *uestionable activities are noted+

"ne&plained changes in passwords' tablespace settings' or *uotas

,&cessive deadlocks are encountered

Records are being read' deleted' or changed without authori-ation

There are three types of auditing+

(tatement Auditing



Statement auditing is the tracking of S() statements issued by database users. To enable or

disable auditing on S() statements' you must have the A"DIT system privilege. The list below

shows the statements that can be audited.

The audit shortcuts are useful for setting up auditing for multiple options with one command.

R/))BA5 S,74,0T' S,(",0,' S0/04' TAB),' TAB),S6A,' and 2I,1 for all users when

the command does not successfully complete.

Be careful that you do not confuse these with the roles named /00,T' R,S/"R,' and

DBA. These shortcuts are provided for compatibility with earlier versions of /racle and may not

be supported in future versions.

Privilege Auditing

6rivilege auditing is the tracking of S() statements issued by users who have been granted

the right to e&ecute that statement through a system privilege. To enable or disable auditing

on S() statements' you must have the A"DIT system privilege. 6rivilege audit options match

the corresponding system privileges.

%or e&ample' to audit the D,),T, A0 TAB), system privilege' you would issue the following

command+

A"DIT D,),T, A0 TAB),
