Oracle
9i for Windows 2000 Tips & Techniques |
612 Pages, by Jesse, Hart and Sale. This
is a good companion book to the Installgen application because it
covers important tasks such as RMAN, OEM/OMS server, and standby
database setup. The scripts generated by Installgen provide
more extensive scripts to automate of these same tasks. This book
includes a good discussion of RMAN including a few recovery scenarios
- but is not as extensive as the customized documentation
produced by Installgen. This is also one of the few books which
covers Advanced Replication topics. This book is lacking in providing
a comprehensive conflict resolution strategy, but this task is handled
automatically by the scripts generated by Repgen. |
|
Oracle
9i for Windows Handbook |
528 Pages, by Velpuri and Adkoli. This
book covers common DBA tasks on Windows servers including database
creation, backup/recovery and use of OEM/OMS. (The scripts generated
by Installgen provide more extensive documentation of recovery
procedures than you will find in this book, but this book does
provide a good introduction to the concepts.) |

Perl module. The Installgen scripts use this module to create or
remove environment variables in the Windows environment during Perl
script execution. |
|
Win32
Perl Scripting: The Administrator´s Handbook |
by Dave Roth, developer of the Win32:LanMan Perl module. This
module is used within the scripts generated by Installgen to Start,
Stop, Create and Delete Windows Services. The Win32:daemon module
is also discussed in this book. This essential module makes it
possible to turn a Perl program into a Windows NT/2000 Service
- which is used for rotating the alert.log file during system
startup. Both of these module-supplied features are available
programmatically within Perl without requiring the installation
of the Microsoft Windows NT/2000 Resource Kit software.
