OraRep

OraRep is a PL/SQL snippet (embedded in a shell script) which creates a well-formatted HTML report on a given database instance, providing you with an overview on your instance(s), some hints for performance tuning, and more.

It has been tested with Oracle 8.1.7, 9.0.1, and 9.2. The script easily fits into a cron task to be run on a regular basis. Sample output (HTML) is included.

OSPRep does the same job for Oracle StatsPack Reports based on SnapShot Levels up to 7, and provides additional "plugins" for more detailed reporting on special issues.

The project also optionally creates a separate page with charts to visualize the results and more.

What is new in this release:

• connecting a 10g DB using a 9i client leads to dbms_output.put_line truncating its output after the 254th character (10g doesn't issue an error message any longer until you reach the limit of 32k chars). Applied a work-around to fix this.
• + added some more hints to the table stats (adapted from OSPRep)
• + added Makefile for (un)installation with the make utility. After verifying the WEBROOT (and prefix) setting, you may simply invoke "make install" (resp. "make uninstall") from inside the top-level directory of the unpacked tarball (where the Makefile resides).

What is new in version 0.4.5:

• This release introduces a compatibility layer to run reports against AWR data.
• This layer is neither perfect nor even complete (e.g. Top-N SQL statements cannot be fetched), but it enables you to use OSPRep with AWR data and your own customized StatsPack scripts.
• Other changes include additional columns for Top-N SQL and for the Enqueue Stats on 10g, plus some more minor changes and fixes.
• This is an update just for the StatsPack branch OSPRep, not for OraRep.

What is new in version 0.4.4:

• This version adds support for 11gR2 (untested), new Top-N SQL Statements sections ("..by CPU usage", "..by time elapsed", and "..by Invalidations" (10g+)), columns for "Last Active" and "Module" in Top-N SQL plus keyword highlighting on 10g+ (and hopefully no more "random" spaces within), some more helpful background info (context help), and more minor adjustments and improvements (including some code formatting and a check for (missing) BINDs to be improved).
