V$active_session_history and Diagnostic pack licensing

Do I trigger the Diagnostic pack license if I do a select against v$active_session_history?
I know to disable the packs in enterprise manager so that users cannot accidently active the licesne by clicking on the performance tab, but I would really like to know if the license is activated in some way by doing a simple select.
If not then I can do all sorts of scripting goodies without the diagnostic pack!

Yes, I agree with your logic, but I do not think it answered the question...
Does a SELECT within sqlplus against this view require a license? That is what I want to verify. Maybe Oracle only requires that I buy a license if I use EM where all of the stats (sql queries) are 'pre-built'. As long as I do not use EM and do not use the pretty graphs and easy to use interface, maybe they do not then have a requirement to purchase a license?

  • Diagnostic Pack and System monitoring plug-in for host.

    Is it correct to say that the ´Operating System Monitoring´ feature of the Oracle DB Diagnostic Pack discards the need of installing a System Monitoring Plug-in for Host in those servers where I have both Oracle DB and Diagnostic Pack for Oracle DB already installed?

  • How to Install and apply the Diagnostic Pack for Fusion Middleware on EM

    Hi
    we have installed ADF Runtime along with Enterprise Manager on IBM-AIX-64-BIT-7.1 version. now, we are planning to install the Diagnostic pack for fusion middleware inorder to monitor the ADF Application deployed on weblogic 10.3.6 server from Enterprise Console. Can anybody suggest, the diagnostic pack for fusion middleware compatability version for our OS,weblogic 10.3.6.
    Regards
    Nagaraju Manchala

    Hi Nagaraju,
    The packs just represent packaged licensing and usually don't need to be installed. However, I assume you are referring to the Diagnostic Pack for Oracle Middleware. If so, the functionality is actually not part of Enterprise Manager Cloud Control. All of the WLS and FMW management features are licensed via WebLogic Management Pack EE or the appropriate FMW pack licensing such as SOA Management Pack EE for SOA Suite and OSB and Management Pack for Oracle WebCenter for WebCenter and UCM. The Diagnostic Pack for Oracle Middleware includes the standalone AD4J and JRMC diagnostic tools which can be downloaded from e-Delivery and installed separately. It is solely dedicated to diagnostics at the end of the day as opposed to monitoring.
    Most prefer WLS Management Pack EE for monitoring and managing WebLogic and Oracle App Server apps along with the RUEI product, but you definitely can take advantage of AD4J and JRMC today. It should be noted that WLS Management Pack EE allows the usage of JVM diagnostics as well which is much broader in its 24/7 diagnostics and monitoring capabilities at the JVM level than the standalone AD4J component. In addition, the diagnostics is supplemented with the middleware diagnostics advisor, performance summary and composite application dashboards, diagnostic snapshots, and other functionality. In addition, WLS Management Pack EE includes all of the configuration management (config compare, compliance policies, patch tracking, etc) and lifecycle management features (domain and Java EE provisioning, patch automation). Anyways, it is probably just easier to take a look at the self-running demos for the features on OTN under EM and YouTube in the WebLogic Server or Oracle Learning channels.
    Also, to your oriiginal point, you don't need to install the pack. You can discover WLS and FMW targets out of the box immediately. There are additional components you can download under the EM umbrella such as Real User Experience Insight (RUEI - monitors actual user activity on the front-end and associates it with EMCC targets) and Business Transaction Management (BTM - formerly AmberPoint, which provides payload aware business transaction monitoring). Both RUEI and BTM data integrates with EMCC via the Business Application dashboard, so you can still have a single console view of your application even though the RUEI and BTM components are installed separately.

  • How to install 10g diagnostic and tuning pack

    Hi,
    am new to 10g. in 9i there was a seperate CDs for diagnostic and tuning packs. But in 10g we didn't got any CD for this. So is it installed by default with 10g?. if yes is there any configuration required for using these packs. If it is not installed by default where i can get this?.
    Thanks in advance
    M.SUdhakar

    Hi
    These are not separate anymore.
    In Grid Control go to Setup -> Management Pack Access to set them up.
    Also see Chapter 2 in http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14117_01/license.101/b13552/toc.htm
    Unfortunately, Oracle don't appear to have migrated all of the functionality of Diagnostics Pack and Tuning Pack to Grid Control, especially for databases < 10g. eg. the very useful Response Time Per Transaction metric is only available for 10g databases. Also, the graph viewing functionality looks poor.

  • Oracle Standard Diagnostic and Tuning Pack

    Can you purchase a license for Oracle Diagnostic and Tuning Pack to be used in an already licensed Oracle Standard database? If so, can you add it as a named user license for one or two people, or does the license have to match the database license (which is presently a processor license)?
    It seems to me that to license the Diagnostic and Tuning Pack you need to be upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Edition. Is this correct?

    According to the Licensing Guide/Information these packs are not available (see Manageability section):

  • Diagnostic pack, Tuning pack are not in OEM 10g, Add partition to a table

    Hi All,
    I have 2 questions:
    Q.1: In Oracle 9i Oracle Enterprise Manager java console, we had "Diagnostic Pack" and "Tuning Pack" which helped us seeing performance tuning info (session's statistics such as cpu time, pga memory, physical disk reads, etc.) and privded help for sql tuning and performance improvements. But in 10g, the same product (Oracle Enterprise Manager java console) does not include these 2 packs, due to which we are unable to monitor and control performance tuning information/statistics. Now my question is, do we need to install these 2 packs separately in 10g? if yes, where can we get them? (I am sure in 9i, these packages came with OEM console and we didnt need to get them separately)
    Q.2: I have a partitioned table having 5 partitions based on range partitioning. Now our requirements have changed and we need to insert values beyong the 5th partition, so we need a 6th partition. Can someone tell me the command to add a new partition to the table? I tried "Alter table xxx add partition yyy ....", but it didn't work. If any one can me the correct syntax, it will be great.
    Thanks in advance.

    OP is talking about java-based EM, not web-based DBConsole. In fact he/she has to change to DBConsole, because 10g java EM doesn't longer support these tuning features.
    Alter table ... partition syntax depends on the kind of partitioning, see the documentation:

  • IWork 09 Family Pack license

    I recently purchased an iWork Family pack for use on my three macs. I would like to allow my niece in college to also use this software. Do I have to mail her the original disk, or is there a work-around, such as a family pack serial number?, She is currently using a trial version of the software.

    The license for the family pack says
    C. iWork Family Pack License. This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. The Family Pack License does not extend to business or commercial users. You may not make the Apple Software available over a network.
    So, unless your niece lives with you when she is not in college, the license doesn't extend to her. She should be able to buy a discounted single or family pack of iWork at her college bookstore or via the online Apple Store for Education.

  • Unable to use allocate B1 Starter Pack license

    Hello Experts,
    I need to test the Starter Package (or B1 Starter Pack license) but I have trouble to switch to the B1 Starter Pack user license.
    In my testing environment, I am currently running 8.8 with the Professional user license. So far, I did;
    - imported the license file which allows me to assign two B1 Starter Pack users,
    - opened License Administration window
    - switch the newly imported license and hit "Change" button, and
    - tried to allocate B1 Starter Pack license to "manager."
    However, I cannot see "B1 Starter Pack" on the B1 User Type Licenses field from the License Administration window. Did I miss something before using B1 Starter Pack?
    Thank you,

    Hi Gordon,
    I think you have told me really good hint to solve this issue. Certainly I imported second license file, so I will try to remove the previous license.

  • Famiy Pack Licensing Question w/Sale of Computer

    I am planning on purchasing the Tiger Family Pack and installing the OS on our desktop and portable computers.
    How I will proceed when I go to sell the iBook?
    Can I keep the OS on the iBook for the new owner?
    If so, may I provide them with a copy of install disc?
    I will only install Tiger onto my iMac and iBook, so three licenses will remain but I'm confused if I can transfer the license on the iBook to the new owner.
    iBook G4, iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Hello Stephanie.
    The following was copied from the Tiger Family Pack license agreement.
    Family Pack Software License Agreement allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on up to a maximum of five (5) Apple-labeled computers at a time as long as those computers are located in the same household and used by persons who occupy that same household. By "household" we mean a person or persons who share the same housing unit such as a home, apartment, mobile home or condominium, but shall also extend to student members who are primary residents of that household but residing at a separate on-campus location. This license does not extend to business or commercial users.
    I don' believe you are able (legally) to transfer a copy of Tiger from a Family Pack DVD to someone else even if you didn't install Tiger on 5 different Macs in your "household" as defined by Apple.
    If you decide to sell your iBook, you should reformat the hard drive and reinstall the OS from the install package that shipped with and was pre-installed on the iBook.
    If you purchased a Tiger single user copy/license, you could include the Tiger install DVD with the sale at an additional cost since Tiger was not pre-installed on the iBook.
