Reviewing Automated DB Jobs for EBS Best Practices

Avatar photoCustomer February 25, 2020 at 1:14 pm

We heard that several automated Oracle database maintenance tasks should be disabled in an EBS environment to avoid overhead. How can I audit which automated tasks are currently running and get instructions on disabling them?

      You should use the DBA Automated Maintenance Tasks report. It queries the status and history of automated jobs and advisors using views like `dba_autotask_operation`.

      What is the recommended action for Automatic Optimizer Statistics Collection in EBS?

    • Support February 26, 2020 at 11:12 pm  

      For EBS, the automated statistics collection must be deactivated by setting the DB initialization parameter `_optimizer_autostats_job=false`. The concurrent program ‘Gather Schema Statistics’ should be scheduled instead.

      We also want to stop the Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor (ADDM). How is that typically disabled?

      ADDM can be deactivated in non-actively monitored environments by setting `alter system set “_addm_auto_enable”=false`. The DBA AWR reports often provide better, more detailed insights than ADDM into performance bottlenecks.

      What is the command to manually disable the SQL Tuning Advisor using `dbms_auto_task_admin`?

    • Support March 1, 2020 at 10:59 am  

      To disable the SQL Tuning Advisor manually, execute: `exec dbms_auto_task_admin.disable(client_name=>’sql tuning advisor’, operation=>null, window_name=>null);`.
