9.7.11.01: Fix pack 1 for PATROL for Oracle Database

The PATROL for Oracle Database 9.7.11.01 fix pack is an update to this KM that includes changes to the supported features for this product.

For more information about the issues corrected in this fix pack, see Known-and-corrected-issues.

This topic also provides instructions for downloading and installing this fix pack:

Improved functionality

The Oracle Extended Tablespace Monitoring (ETSM) feature is improved by querying the DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS Oracle Static Data Dictionary View.

If you are upgrading from an earlier PATROL for Oracle Database version, you must login to the Oracle Database as a privileged user and grant the following privilege to the monitoring user:

grant select on dba_tablespace_usage_metrics to <Oracle monitoring user>

We also improved the monitoring of database availability and tablespaces to avoid scalability issues.

Known Issue

On Oracle v12cR2 or earlier versions, the tablespace monitoring is impacted by v9.7.11.01 of the KM because it has a dependency with the Oracle DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS Static Data Dictionary View, which doesn’t provide always the expected information.

Oracle reported several bugs in earlier supported versions for the Oracle DBA_TABLESPACE_USAGE_METRICS Static Data Dictionary View. Because the KM has a dependency on this view, it is required to install the latest Oracle patches to enable complete monitoring of all tablespaces in the environment. For Oracle v12cR2 itself there is still no solution and hence the UNDO tablespace is not monitored by v9.7.11.01 of the KM.

Dropped features

Support for the following features were dropped in this fix pack.
