DBMX Releases Enterprise Server Manager -- ESM -- for Oracle7; New database management tool enables organizations to effectively manage and control large Oracle7 installations.SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 1996--DBMX Inc. announced today the availability of its Enterprise Server Manager (ESM (1) (Enterprise Storage Management) Managing the online, nearline and offline storage within a large organization. It includes analysis of storage requirements as well as making routine copies of files and databases for backup, archiving, disaster recovery, ) product built on the Tivoli Management Environment (TME See Tivoli Systems Management Software. ), the emerging database industry-standard for distributed systems management. ESM simplifies, automates and delegates the tasks associated with proactively managing and controlling large, distributed Oracle7 installations. ESM (version 1.6) is a full-featured tool that addresses all aspects of enterprise client/server database management, including: -0- -- Event and performance monitoring -- Database & instance management -- User security management -- Schema configuration management -0- Management By Subscription ESM incorporates a powerful concept called "Management-by- Subscription" that allows the database administrator (DBA) to capture, use and reuse Oracle7 configuration information in a series of logically organized Profiles. The set of profiles (user, monitoring and schema information) can be concurrently applied via a single distribute operation. Because all user and schema information is held in Profiles on an enterprise-wide basis, the DBA can group and maintain configuration information for the entire distributed environment, saving time and increasing productivity. Comprehensive Oracle7 Monitoring ESM monitors all of Oracle7's critical performance ratios to ensure high availability and performance of the Oracle7 database, and is fully integrated with the industry standard SNMP-based RDBMS-MIB and Oracle's Private Database MIBs. ESM administrators can extend the built-in capabilities by specifying new monitoring capabilities either by simple SQL SQL in full Structured Query Language. Computer programming language used for retrieving records or parts of records in databases and performing various calculations before displaying the results. statements or by a SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. RDBMS-MIB object identifier (OID (1) (Object IDentifier) A permanent number assigned to an object for storage (persistence). It is typically a long integer, such as 128 bits, that can be computed using various methods to create a unique number. ). Using Profile Managers and the Management-by-Subscription approach, Oracle7 monitoring profiles can be applied to tens or even hundreds of Oracle7 databases in a single operation. Secure Delegation The advanced security mechanisms built into ESM enable senior DBAs to securely and confidently delegate routine Oracle7 administrative tasks to less experienced DBAs, workgroup administrators, or even end-users. Senior DBAs can specify which Oracle7 managed resources can be controlled within each Policy Region, and which Policy Regions delegated ESM administrators have access to and control over. In addition, ESM uses access control lists to limit authority on a resource-by-resource basis. This means that ESM administrators can perform privileged operations without privileged password access (SYS SYS System(s) SYS System Configuration (File Name Extension) SYS See You Soon SYS Sun Yat-Sen (founder of Republic of China) SYS Stretch-Yawn Syndrome , ORACLE, etc.). ESM's collaborative, policy-based approach increases overall productivity and frees senior DBAs from many time-consuming tasks. Compliant with Key Industry Standards ESM supports key industry standards, including CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global and the Application Management Specification for full life-cycle management of client/server applications. ESM is integrated with leading enterprise consoles, including the Tivoli/Enterprise Console, HP OpenView and IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) NetView, for enterprise-wide event correlation.
