The Oracle Parallel Server Management User's Guide
explains how to start up, shut down, and monitor the activity of your Oracle
Parallel Server (OPS) using the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console. Oracle
Enterprise Manager is Oracle's graphical administration and networking
tool for distributed database environments.
This guide describes only those features of Enterprise Manager
which pertain to managing Oracle Parallel Server. For a complete description
of the functionality and basic components provided by Enterprise Manager,
refer to the Oracle Enterprise Manager documentation set.
This guide is written for Oracle Enterprise Manager users,
such as database administrators (DBAs) or system administrators, who maintain
parallel servers in their network. System management tasks are performed
on the Enterprise Manager Console running the Microsoft Windows NT®
or Microsoft Windows 95® operating system.
This guide assumes that you are familiar with the administrative
tasks you want to perform on your Oracle8 Server. If you are not, refer
to the Oracle8 Server documentation set which contains thorough descriptions
of the database administration tasks you can perform with the Oracle Enterprise
Manager tools. In addition, the Oracle8 Server documentation provides recommendations
on how to administer your database optimally.
If you have not yet read the introductory chapters of the
Oracle8 Server Administrator's Guide or the Oracle Enterprise
Manager Administrator's Guide, we recommend that you do so. These chapters
describe the specific responsibilities of a database administrator and
the basic operation of the Oracle Enterprise Manager.
This guide also assumes that you are familiar with the operation
of either the Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system. Refer
to the documentation for your operating system, if necessary.
