Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Database Control vs. Grid Control
Brandon,
I use GC (really since 8i OEM) for managing all databases, not just from the performance side. Previously we had crontab jobs set up on every server, but I found it was easier (at least for me) to keep things consistent by using the Jobs section of OEM for all DBA-related scripts, especially when I needed to adjust times of jobs. I also use the Events section for a large variety of monitoring as well.
I don't hear of this much either (probably due to extra licensing) but I use Capacity Planner as well, for the crazy concept of capacity planning. It works well with a lot of custom stats collection scripts I have.
Just another few cents from another DBA.
