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 is
below critical level, once in a day
Check the space sage of the archive log file system for both primary and
standby
!erify the sccess of daily backps, once in a day
!erify the sccess of archive log backps , based on the backp interval
to 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 party
monitoring 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 needs
to 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 backup
policy
Quarterly Checks
Checks for the critical patch updates from Oracle!make sure that your
systems are in compliance with CP" patches
Verify the accuracy for the backs by creating test databases from the
backup
Verify the accuracy of the #$ mechanism by peforming a database
switch over test. %his can be done once in si& months based on the business
requirements
Daily DBA Checklist
Ensure that previous night's backup is complete and there are no RMAN
errors in the backup logs.
Ensure that any exports which are part o the backup are complete and the
dump iles
compressed.
!heck the alert log or any "RA# errors # also or messages like

Ensure that the cron $ob or truncating% saving and renaming alert logs
is working # veriy the
same.
Ensure that the archive redo log iles are compressed and have been
deleted. "nly iles or
current and previous day should be present.
All tablespaces should be less than &'( ull # run the coalesce command
on all tablespaces to
reduce ragmentation. Ensure that space in the )EM* tablespace is
released and is +,,( ree

Enough contiguous ree space is available in all tablespaces or ob$ects
to extend i re-uired.
.ackup the control ile to trace so that every day we have a outline o

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.

the 'ind' command to determine iles which have been recently

4.dmp iles are in their proper locations and large 4.dmp iles have been
compressed.
)runcate the listener.log ile in the 1"RA!7E89"ME6network6log location
i the listener log has
increased to a si:e ; than ',, M.. Ensure the space is released%
otherwise 'reload' listener.
Run the 'recently created6modiied ob$ects' report to ensure that no
unauthorised ob$ect
creation6modiication is taking place.
Ensure that there are no 2.M08<".0 with the status o ailed or broken.
Also last reresh times
o all running $obs should be current.

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 the
type 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

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.

In addition to the statement auditing options shown above' there are several options that will
create audit records for a combination of statements. These options' sometimes referred to as
audit shortcuts' are+
./00,.T

R,S/"R.,

DBA

The list below shows the statements audited by each of these shortcuts.

The audit shortcuts are useful for setting up auditing for multiple options with one command.
%or e&ample
A"DIT R,S/"R.,
1$,0,2,R 0/T S"..,SS%")3
will audit all the commands listed for A)T,R SST,4' .)"ST,R' DATABAS, )I05' 6R/.,D"R,'
R/))BA.5 S,74,0T' S,(",0.,' S0/04' TAB),' TAB),S6A.,' and 2I,1 for all users when
the command does not successfully complete.
Be careful that you do not confuse these with the roles named ./00,.T' R,S/"R.,' and
DBA. These shortcuts are provided for compatibility with earlier versions of /racle and may not
be supported in future versions.
Privilege Auditing
6rivilege auditing is the tracking of S() statements issued by users who have been granted
the right to e&ecute that statement through a system privilege. To enable or disable auditing
on S() statements' you must have the A"DIT system privilege. 6rivilege audit options match
the corresponding system privileges.
%or e&ample' to audit the D,),T, A0 TAB), system privilege' you would issue the following
command+
A"DIT D,),T, A0 TAB),
B A..,SS
1$,0,2,R S"..,SS%")3
