Exalogic Managing Machine - Part 6

Dear Readers,

My name is Franz Devantier, creator of this blog.  I am an Oracle Certified Professional (OCP DBA 11g) Security DBA.  I will be sharing with you the basic duties of an Oracle DBA, and also some of the undocumented, and not so well known tasks. 

I will make a deal with you:  If you refer me to a company that needs database support, from a few hours per week to full time, and I am able to sign a contract with them.
Then I will give you 10% of the monthly contract or deal price every month.  When the contract ends, and we re-sign the contract, I will again give you 10% of the monthly contract price.  This will go on until the company no longer employs or contracts me or my agents to look after their databases.
I can do this, because that 10% is my marketing budget.  When we re-sign the contract, in the future, it may depend on you giving the thumbs up again, and that is worth 10% of the monthly contract price, to be given to you as commission.


Exalogic Managing Machine  -  Part 6
Creating and Viewing Exalogic Reports
Not only can you look at the photorealistic view of the server, but you can also look at reports to view the Exalogic rack setup.  Such reports will include information about your assets, such as the job history, firmware versions, OS updates, and problems.  You can choose to have your reports in PDF format or in CSV format.  You can export your reports, or use the report to launch jobs on targeted assets.

Creating an Exalogic System Report
To create an Exalogic report from the Exalogic Control center, you will need to complete a few steps:
1.) Firstly, on the Navigation pane, click on “Reports”, then click on “Exalogic System Report”.



2.) On the Actions  pane, click on “Create Exalogic System Report”.  This will bring up and display the “Create Exalogic System Report” wizard.

In the “Define Report Parameters” window, you will fill in a few fields.
-> Report Name:  Enter a name for the report
-> Description: Enter a short description of the report
-> Schedule: There is a check box for you to click if you want to run the report later on, or on a recurring basis or schedule.
-> Output Format: check the CSV box, or the PDF box or both.

3.) Click on the “Next” button to proceed.  Because you checked the schedule box, the schedule screen will be displayed.


On the Schedule window, you will need to select one of the following options.
-> Now:  Create the report job and run immediately
-> At a later date/time: Create and run the report job at a specific time
-> On a Recurring Schedule: Create and run the report job at a set time, and at a set interval.
. Select the Start time
. Select the end time
. Select the number of hours between reports, to create the intervals

4.) Click the “Next” button.  The summary screen is displayed
5.) Review the Summary, and then click on “Run and Close”

You could also have clicked on “Save Template and Close”, instead of “Run and Close”.  In this way you will save the report template.  You can use the report template later to run similar reports.
