Hi folks,
Oracletool 2.0 is now available for download at http://www.oracletool.com. Thanks to all who have contributed and supported! Regards, -Adam vonNieda Changelog follows.. News ===== This release of Oracletool includes my first crack at a database monitoring solution via Oracletool. The Oracletool database monitoring framework should be considered BETA in this release, and I REALLY need some feedback. I'm not really looking for suggestions as to what to monitor yet, that's the easy part. I need to know what types of problems you ran into when you tried the monitoring so I can update the docs, and make enhancements to the installation. If you try the monitoring at all, please let me know. I need to know if there is sufficient interest in this to warrant maintaining it. Thanks, -Adam Bug fixes ========== Fixed date format error on RMAN backup listing (SCN's). Fixed bug, looking for MD5 module for encryption, should be looking for Digest::MD5. Thanks to Rainer Herbst, Marc Beasley, and the rest of the world for pointing it out.
