Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Griping about auditing (not the Oracle Kind)
You mean you're not in on the conspiracy? You will be receiving a visit very soon...
You know who had to train the non-DBA how to read the alert logs...
In the end it's not so bad, primarily because my immediate manager (started as a good SQL server DBA and is now slowly going insane since he has to attend 3 Change Management meetings a day, at 7am, 2pm and 4pm) decided to use it as a training experience. The responsibility was given to one of the SQL Server DBAs as part of my training them in Oracle DBA work. So I no longer have the frustration of looking at it as a complete waste of time. Of course I suppose that once she is fully trained on Oracle and has joined the conspiracy someone else will have to take over reviewing the alert logs :).

A non-DBA? Is that because we stick together like the Mafia or something?!

We've been through an internal audit and I was just wondering if anyone
else
has to deal with the rather ludicrous requirements I now have. In order
to
add or resize a datafile I now need to fill out a form and get Senior VP
approval and the alert logs must be reviewed every day by a non-DBA in
order
to be certain that I didn't make any database changes without such
approval.
The auditors were horrified to discover that not only did I do such
things
whenever I thought them necessary but that we didn't have a non-DBA
review
everything I did after an Oracle upgrade to ensure I didn't install any
other software.
Fortunately I managed to convince them that yes, I really did need a
Unix
login (they were skeptical).
So, any similar horror stories?
