Introduction:
Today I'm glad to share with you one of the most helpful tools I ever created to make the common database administration tasks faster, safer and more easier.
This tool I named it DBA Bundle , it's a tar file contains a group of most useful shell scripts that help the database administrator in day to day activities in a smart, safe and easy way, some of these scripts are old but still doing it's job efficiently :-)
Please DOWNLOAD the bundle from this link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vrhslrg4l5xhzyb/DBA_BUNDLE1.tar?dl=0
You can watch this video tutorial on how to use this bundle: (watch this video in full screen mode)
The most greatest feature in this bundle that it can work on complicated environments to save the DBA time and reduce the human errors.
All scripts in this bundle can easily understand the environment whatever it's Linux or UNIX, most scripts can work fine on different database versions and different oracle homes and different oracle users owners on the same server, all scripts have been designed to smartly handle wrong user inputs.
Now let's get started with the main functions in this bundle ...
How to use the bundle:
=================
First, download the bundle tar file and extract it under Oracle owner home directory, e.g. /home/oracle, please note that each script inside this bundle is independent, in other words, there is no script depend on another script in this bundle, the deletion of any script will not affect the successful execution of other scripts.
Second, I've created a script called "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" it will add an alias for each script inside the bundle to the user's profile to make it easy for you to call any script using one command "alias" from any working directory. This is not all, this script creates aliases to easily access the database configuration files and logs
e.g.
alert command alias will tail -f the ALERTLOG of the selected database|instance.Today I'm glad to share with you one of the most helpful tools I ever created to make the common database administration tasks faster, safer and more easier.

This is not all, this script creates aliases to easily access the database configuration files and logs
e.g.
vialert command alias will vi the ALERTLOG of the selected database|instance.
tns command alias will open the tnsnames.ora file using vi editor
lis command alias will open the listener.ora file using vi editor
There is still more of nice and easy shortcuts will be listed along with it's description after you execute "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh"script .
In order to keep this post abbreviated, I'll let you discover the rest of aliases yourself !
To call script "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" use "." command: e.g.
# . aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh
What if I've more than one database on the server, how can I use "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" script?
Simple, let's say you've two databases running on the same server (SALESDB & ORCL), if you want to use the shortcuts (alert,tns,bdump,..) for SALESDB just run script "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" and select SALESDB, later if you want to use the shortcuts (aliases) for ORCL DB re-run "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" script then select ORCL, and so on.
Note: Each time you run "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" script it will replace the aliases added in the last execution with new aliases referring to the database you selected.
running script "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" more than once will not harm.
If you didn't manage to run "aliases_DBA_BUNDLE.sh" script , each time you want to call a script you have to step under the location where you extracted the bundle then run the script you want.
