The ______process writes the redo entries to the online redo log files. 3. The ______process writes checkpoint information in the control file and each data file header. 4. The ______process performs recovery on instance startup. 5. The ______process performs process recovery when a user process fails. 6. The ______process resolves in-doubt distributed transactions. 7. The ______processes copy redo log files to a designated storage device. A. Checkpoint process (CKPT) B. System monitor process (SMON) C. Recoverer process (RECO) D. Log writer process (LGWR) E.

All rights reserved. 1 - 25 Management Framework and Related DBA Tools The Oracle database management framework includes: • Database instance • Listener • Management interface: – Management agent (when using Grid Control) – Database Control Related tools and commands include: SQL*Plus: Listener Control utility: Enterprise Manager Control utility: $ emctl status dbconsole $ emctl start dbconsole $ emctl stop dbconsole $ lsnrctl status SQL> startup SQL> shutdown immediate
- 19. Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved. 1 - 26 Facilitating Database Management with Oracle Restart • Restarting Oracle components when the host computer restarts or after hardware or software failure • Monitoring components and restarting them, if needed • For single-instance environments • Considering component dependencies: – Mounting disk groups and starting the ASM instance before starting the database instance – Soft dependency between the database instance and the listener • Starting Oracle Restart with the crsctl utility • Managing Oracle Restart components with the srvctl utility $ srvctl stop database –d orcl –o abort
