DBA Seperation Of Duties

I am looking for some examples of how other companies set up a seperation of duties for the DBA's. How or what do you seperate? What permissions does each person have?
Thanks for any help.

Jeff, there are many different ways to approach separation of duties for DBA's or DBA's vs Developers and a lot of what is practical depends on the size of the business and type of IT organization being practiced: central IT vs distributed IT.
Some sites have separate DBA's to manage test, to manage Quality Assurance, and Production. There is a hand off between each group and the test group DBA may have absolutely no access to the production databases.
Some sites have Application DBA's who create objects and apply object changes for the developers and which also have an Infrastructure DBA who installs the Oracle software, configrues the listener, and writes and manages the backups.
Here are some forum threads on topics related to handling access:

Seperation of duties

Couple of questions:
1) Are there any useful oracle documents around recommended separation of duties in payables, ledger and receivables modules of EBS?
2) As I am from IT not financial background, can you give some basic examples of SOD conflicts and subsequent risks/fraud opportunities?
3) Are there any free tools or SQL queries to list SOD conflicts in EBS?

Is there anyway to get a copy of the xls files mentioned in:

If you do not have 12.1.x installed, then you would need to download the Media Pack from Oracle e-Delivery website -- https://edelivery.oracle.com/

Database Security against 'connect internal'

Hi Dba's
Is there any way to set up a password authentication while connecting as
oracle(unix)user during 'connect internal' connection?. The reason is though oracle owner password can be kept properly, still the system admin(unix)can still use su (unix)command to become oracle user and connect to oracle without validating password.
What is the best way to set up a password by which the password will be validated during the connection time.
Please note ....!!!! Creation of exclusive password file, changes in init parameters everything has been tried.
Hence, looking for any better solution.
Regards

There certainly is a need for securing your database from administrators. The idea that you MUST trust your dba or your sys admins is no longer a reasonable one. Just to give you an example, let's say a government stores its most confidential secrets in an Oracle database. Trusting the dba is not an option in this situation.
This certainly is an exterme case, but there certainly are many, many other situations that have similar requirements. I'm not sure that everyone's medical records should be available to the dba just because he's in charge of doing backups. The truth of the matter is that many, many dbas are kids straight out of college or independent consultants. This is this way in every industry, including the medical and banking industry.
There are solutions that alleviate the problem, but they are not as good as they should be. For Oracle there are encryption solutions (www.appsecinc.com) that help you prevent dbas from reading the data, but they do not help prevent the data from being destroyed. A good backup plan can help alleviate this problem.
Other possible solutions include setting up good policies that include seperation of duties and the use of a change management department. For a more thorough discourse on security policies for Oracle, check out the Oracle Security Handbook (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072133252/qid%3D998406055/107-7202182-0758137).

Oracle user?

Hi,
New to oracle, and to the forum.
A product I'm installing (Visionael Network Audit) requires Oracle to be installed beforehand.
I've successfully installed Oracle. Firstly, I do not have any user other than the administrator on the Windows Server machine. Also I did not configure or change anything prior to the Oracle installation. If i've erred here can you point me to some summarised howto document for oracle installation.
If thats fine, next I'm having problem with an SQL script (to which I'm new as well)
The script
SQL> create tablespace visionael_tempspace
2 datafile 'c:\oracle\visionael_tmp01' size 10 M
3 autoextend on next 10M
4 default storage (
5 initial 50K
6 next 50K

8 maxextents 121
9 pctincrease 10
10 ) temporary online;
create tablespace visionael_tempspace
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12913: Cannot create dictionary managed tablespace
orak is the name of the databse I created.
Will appreciate any help, have a deadline to meet with this product installation.
Thanks and Regards,

Multiple Instances and schemas to One

Hi,
Good Morning to all gurus.
Using Oracle Version 11.2.0.2
We have a database With 4 instances and Each Instance will be having 10 to 15 schemas Based on Countries. Here in all schemas we will be having Huge data's (count may be 3 to 5 crores for some 10 tables)
Now am keen to Know If i change the above to a single instance and Single Schema(Common for all countries) What Pros and cons Will be there (Technical).
Any Links or Answers are highly appreciated.
HOPE GURUS Here can help me study and understand the above scenarios.
Regards,
Simma....

http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:2246908001297
cons:
o harder to manage
o harder to upgrade
o harder to patch
o harder to maintain
o causes your shared pool size to increase 1,000 times (shared sql goes down the tubes)
o takes more space
o queries against the dictionary will be impacted
o latching on the shared pool goes WAY up (latching = locks = serialization device =
slows you down)
pros:
o none that I can think of.

Seperate schemas have advantages with security, privacy, seperation of duties, and change control. Seperate schemas also have the advantage of logical granularity / grouping for easier management, upgrade, decommission, scalability, hardware or software migration.
Yes, you can develop applications faster if you don't have to think about security, scalability etc, but it will come back to haunt you later.
RobertGeier
AND
Separate schemas have the disadvantage of requiring additonal grants and privileges to support the reference of non-owned objects used in stored code and to support FK definitions across tables owned by different users.
Naming standards and system codes can be used to identify and segregate objects defined under one schema.
The use of solid naming standards with a well chosen group of owners (schemas) would likely be a good compromise. The choice really depends on how large the applicaiton is going to be object wise and how integrated the objects are going to be. The more integration the less separate owners is beneficial.

Solutions for access as ROOT for RAC DBA duties

Our Networking Team and Applications Team are going through some growing pains. We are trying to resolve what permissions should be given to a RAC DBA. Our RAC DBA is responsible for Oracle Clusterware, Oracle Automatic Storage
Management and Oracle RDBMS software. The OS, Server and Storage Subsystem are the responsibility of the System Administrator. We have the following Environment:
Production and Test (RAC)
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle Clusterware 11.2.0.2 -- Grid Infrastructure
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 EE
Development (Single Instance)
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 update 2
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2 -- Grid Infrastructure
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2 EE
As the RAC DBA, I have identified the following areas that require ROOT for RAC and Single Instance DB's; however, I understand there may be more:
diagcollection.pl
- diagnostic tool for Oracle Clusterware and may be requested by Oracle Support
ocrconfig
- to repair ocr configuration issue (add, replace and remove requires root)
srvctl modify
- required root to change ip address
tar
- TAR Grid Infrastructure Directory structure preserving files with ROOT ownership
cluvfy
- cluvfy fix it scripts need to run as ROOT
- some cluvfy commands under 11gr1 would only run properly for -post cfs check as ROOT in our last installation
ASM Libraries
- ROOT required to install and configure ASM libraries
fdisk - l
- this is used to see disks attached which is relevant when ASM disks are not mounted
/etc/sysconfig/oracleasm
- oracleasm loading configuration file
/usr/sbin/oracleasm
- to make disks available to ASMLIB (scandisks etc.)
/usr/sbin/asmtool
- asm config tool due to bug
asm cluster file system
- some commands require ROOT (mounting etc.)
- acfsutil
/var/log/messages
- loading errors ohas and oracleasm would be logged here
cvuqdisk
- needs to be loaded for new install
root.sh
- script needed to run at install, upgrades and patching
oraInstRoot.sh
- script needed to run at install
rootupgrade.sh
- upgrade script
roothas.pl
- upgrade script
ocrcheck
- check for ocr corruption
- corrupt check portion requires ROOT
- oracle local registry
Grid Infrstructure
- .runInstaller from Grid Infrastructure
- includes upgrades
asm configuration assistant (asmca)
- configuration of asm diskgroups
- vol mgr for asm disks
ocrconfig
- ocr configuration tool
- ocr import
- ocr export
- oracle local registry
ocrdump
- used to check ocr backup file
- oracle local registry
opatch
- patching grid control requires ROOT
crsctl
- Startup and Shutdown Oracle Clusterware, Oracle ASM and Database/Instance
- restore voting disk
- restore ocr
- set log for dynamic debugging
- check install periodically
srvctl
- modify nodeapps (ex. ip address change)
- add filesystem (acfs)
What solutions have people found so that RAC DBA can perform responsibilites yet not have ROOT password?

In all the environments I've worked in, I either had direct su access with knowledge of the root password or used sudo. I really can't imagine an environment that would require something other than either of those two options.
In places with stricter auditing requirements we used sudo in conjunction with the sudosh shell wrapper to log all activities to syslog, but this was used by everyone and not just the DBA
Is SUDO the only solutuion? Every command need to be entered into SUDO config files that necessitates ROOT access.
As I demonstrated in the other thread, giving the oracle user sudo access to files that are writable by the oracle user (eg. root.sh) gives them the ability to access to a root shell. It is good to implement a "minimum privileges necessary" policy in your organization but it has to be within reason. The minimum privilege necessary for running and maintaining CRS is root.

Oracle EBusiness suite professions tasks and duties

Hello everybody
I inquire about something regarding Oracle EBusiness suite professions tasks and duties. I've tasked by my manager with writing a report lists the main tasks and key responsibilities for each of the following technical professions within Oracle E Business Environment:
1)-Apps DBA.
2)-Apps Technical Consultant (Apps Developer)
3)-Apps Business Consultant.
I've contacted Oracle Support recently via opening SR .But, They informed me that they don’t provide such information and therefore, they suggest me weather to contact Oracle Consulting to post here.
I would appreciate your help.
Sami

I don't see how you'd be able to integrate OAM with EBS unless you have the oSSO (assuming of course that you're not on the bleeding edge, per 975182.1).
We are running the same configuration and have setup the redirects in OAM policy. We setup specific context roots for each application, then use OAM policy to redirect. (for example, http://iwa-server/ebs redirects to https://ebs-server)
Unique authorization rule for each redirect, then a unique "policy" on the "Policies" tab for each redirect. Each Policy maps to the respective Authorization Rule.

What does it take to be a good DBA.

Hi i am a student with 1 year to go and i interested in becoming a DBA i have no real world experience but i have done java ,php,prolog and i have good knowlege of sql queries. I do understand that you need to be good a drivers1,2,3 and 4

Not really. What you need to know and do to be a good DBA is basically be a control freak and totally paranoid about loosing anything... also have an intimate knowlege about backup and recovery and database design. DBA's are paid to ensure the data is there 24X7 365 days a year... yes, every day all day.
If you loose it, don't bother coming back to work.
When the world crashes--and it will--your worth is measured directly by the speed you can recover it all... Yes, all of it, even that stuff that just was updated... oh, the moment the system decided it needed to go south for the winter.
Depending on the shop you are in, you may have other duties--database design, sql queries, programming--helping the developers.
First and foremost you will be the person in charge of making the data secure and accessible to those that need to see it.
Depending on your environment--you may never be allowed to touch Java, php, or prolog. It maybe that you have to subsist on programming in the SQL scripting language or a shop standard.

How do I recognize and treat seperately entries in a text box?

I've placed a text box in a report that is populated by data entries that are seperated by a semicolon. Each entry is unique and distinct. I want to try to count and group these individually, but since they exist in a text box seperated by a semicolon, how can I treat them as unique? Here is an example:
02 Inadequate Policies and/or Procedures;01 Lack of Policies and/or Procedures;05 Inadequate Separation of Duties;10 Financial Systems Deficiency;

Hi,
Whether the values is fixed ie, you will get a string with 5 values which is :;: seperated.
If it is fixed you can use a way.
for ex; you have a string of 5 values.
first formula u write : Stringvar
Variablename := split(Fieldname,';')[0]
like that five formula.
Then you can take the count(Variablename).

Sathish

Interview questions for oracle dba

Hi I am trying to find teh interview questions for oracle dba .
What will be your answer to the following questions. Can somebody shed some light...
. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
·     Did you use online or off-line backups?
·     What version of Oracle were you running?
·     Haw many databases and what sizes?
·     If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
·     If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
·     Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Thx
KK

. What is the day to day duties of oracle dba?
I have got a checklist, designed for my daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly tasks. For example, in the daily checklist tasks, I check for the alert log file, competion and correction of my exports and operating system backups. DB space situation, Antivirus status, standby database status, space on disks, any rogue queries etc.
· Did you use online or off-line backups?
Both.
· What version of Oracle were you running?
8i(not any more), 9i, 10g
· Haw many databases and what sizes?
8 databases, ranging from 1 TB to 10 GB. I have segregated them into OLTP production, testing, cm, and development and a Datawarehouse.
· If you have to advise a backup strategy for a new application, how would you approach it and what questions will you ask?
How much they could afford to lose data or they want zero data loss and also I will get their requirements about down time and up time of database.
· If a customer calls you about a hanging database session, what will you do to resolve it?
First I will identify it, then see to it what exactly it is doing, capture that situation and then either try to release the locks(if its a blocking or blocked session), or kill the session, if its hanging on a runaway query.
· Compare Oracle to any other database that you know. Why would you prefer to work on one and not on the other?
Oracle passes the ACID rule with distinction as compared to the other databases. Moreover, the multiversion read consistency, recovery, flexibility and challenges of Oracle are matchless.

What is a DBA??

Hi,
Could I have a dfeinition of what a DBA is. Throughout my career, I was lead to believe that a DBA facilitated a business in the storage of business information. However, in the contract I'm on now, the DBA believes that he should tell the business what information they need, and how it should be stored, without consultation with any areas of the business.

Hi,
Could I have a dfeinition of what a DBA is.From previous wiki reference
"Duties: The duties of a database administrator vary and depend on the job description, corporate and Information Technology (IT) policies and the technical features and capabilities of the DBMS being administered."
From my experience I would agree on that 'it depends'. E.g. on organisation, business requirements, "features" of the applications, etc.
However, in the contract I'm on now,
the DBA believes that he should tell the business
what information they need, and how it should be
stored, without consultation with any areas of the
business.This has little to do with the definition of the role of a DBA, and more to do with severe professional misconduct. One of the main objectives for IT/IS department is to serve the business (customers) needs so to enable the business to achieve its goals.

Diff in Duties...

Hi,
I'm a newbie to Oracle Tech.Basically i'm a MSDBA and now i'm interested to be a Oracle DBA and i heard about Oracle Apps DBA. But,i'm confused and was not able to find the difference in duties between these two roles. Can someone please help me in knowing the duties esp any doc/article which would be helpful in my decision.
Regards,
Shyam

sn't there any defined duties and profile for Oracle Apps DBA?An Apps DBA is an Oracle DBA on a site where they use Oracle Apps. There are over one hundred Apps modules so precise duties rather depend upon what your company has. If your current postying doesn't use Oracle Apps you ain't an Apps DBA and you have zero chance of teaching yourself to be one. Here is Re: I am core 9i DBA, What is apps DBA which you may find helpful.
Cheers, APC
