Database utilities
Database utilities
Database utility changes in support of multi-tenancy fall into three categories:
unchanged, indirectly changed, and multi-tenant aware.
Unchanged database utilities continue to operate across the database, and are not
impacted by multi-tenancy. These utilities include:
• Backup and restore
• After-imaging and Replication
• Failover clusters
• Prostrct
• Transparent Data Encryption
Auditing is a utility that is indirectly changed. The mechanics of how auditing is
managed remain unchanged, but auditing has the following changes:
• New audit policies and auditing events are added and extended to support
multi-tenancy. An incremental audit policy, multi-tenant.xml, is included in the
%DLC%/auditing directory. The full auditing policy will also have the incremental
one appended to it.
• Audit event triggers are included in the implementation of the new enable and
disable multi-tenant feature commands in PROUTIL.
• Existing database record auditing event triggers are updated to include the
tenant-name information.
Tenant aware utilities allow the database administrator to execute the utilities on a
per-tenant, per-group, or database-wide basis. Database utilities that can manipulate
and display data based on multi-tenant characteristics are added or updated. The list
of impacted utilities follows:
• New PROUTIL commands
– ENABLEMULTITENANCY
– DISABLEMULTITENANCY
– DEALLOCATE
– IDXDEACTIVATE
• Modified PROUTIL commands:
– BULKLOAD
– DBANALYS/IDXANALYS/TABANALYS
– DESCRIBE
– DISPTOSSCREATELIMITS
– DUMP/DUMPSPECIFIED
