Cetros INS-scribe
INS-scribe is more than a resource for installations and the creation of instances. It offers a compliment of other essential functions designed to make Oracle accessible to DBAs of all experience levels. From fast, efficient programming, to improved security to disaster recovery scripts and database recovery scenarios. There is no other product on the market like INS-scribe.
In order to protect your database from a variety of disaster scenarios it is necessary to implement multiple backup strategies within each database. It may not be necessary to use every one of these scripts for every implementation, but they are created at essentially no extra cost every time INS-scribe runs. This also means creating a separate documentation file which clearly summarizes the database server configuration along with complete setup instructions for using the generated scripts to build the database. Additional documentation files are used to provide an overall server layout when using OEM servers and spreadsheets which summarize the install process and periodic jobs running on the server.
A comprehensive listing of common database recovery scenarios is created within the documentation file created for each database. Virtually all of these recovery scenarios contain customized text using the parameters which were entered into the graphical interface. The goal is to document each commonly required recovery process well in advance of the time when it will be needed in order to reduce mistakes. During the high-stress environment of a database recovery you don´t want to be looking around for your notes concerning how to recover your database. It is important to have this information pre-written, and customized for the exact database you are recovering.
