Hi Falguni,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, the dashboard view supports all RDBMS platforms. It helps address existing challenges such as performing pre-checks before approving changes and the usual Friday checks, by providing a complete view on a single page instead of checking individual tickets.

I will try to set up a quick demo with key members who handle changes and Big Rock events. I had tried reaching out to one member earlier but didn’t receive a response, hence the email. It’s a good suggestion—thanks, and I’ll arrange a quick demo.

Thanks and regards,

Nikhil

 Hi [Reliability Lead Name],

I would like to provide a brief summary of the ongoing backup performance issue that has previously been highlighted by the Database PRO team through incident channels and email communications.

To summarize:

• Two incident channels were created and tickets raised; both have now been marked as resolved.

• The first incident was closed stating a DDB reconstruction issue was identified and fixed, after which backups ran successfully for one night.

• The following day, backup slowness was observed again and raised on the channel. We were informed that the CH environment is being upgraded to HSX, expected to take around two weeks. However, when clarification was requested on whether the slowness would persist during this migration, there was no response.

• We also requested that a case be raised with the Commvault vendor, but despite follow-ups, there were no updates shared.

• The incident channel was later closed as the ticket was marked resolved with the note that an ongoing performance issue in IBCHALL related to HNAS performance is being worked on by Hitachi Vantara and Commvault.

Given that the backup performance concern appears to still be ongoing, we kindly request the latest status update and would appreciate prioritized attention on this matter to help ensure stability of backup operations.

Best regards,
Daidipya Upalekar

Hi Team,

For this database, I have temporarily reduced the /app filesystem alert threshold to 55%. We may receive alerts at this level for the time being.

This is due to the ongoing backup issue, and we want to avoid any additional risk. Keeping the alert at 55% will help us proactively monitor the filesystem and also serve as a reminder to periodically check and follow up with the backup team.

Thanks.

 BCM Automation Dashboard

Overview

The BCM Automation Dashboard provides a centralized view of all BCM database automation requests and their status. While BCM automation handles the execution of activities, this dashboard improves visibility, tracking, and coordination for BCM planners, DBAs, and application teams.

It is especially useful during major or “Big Rock” BCM events, where multiple requests run in parallel within the same window. The dashboard helps teams monitor request status, dependencies, and pending actions from a single place.

Dashboard Sections

1. Change & Task Summary

Shows RNOW BCM changes and user-created RITM requests, including approval status and scheduled BCM execution dates.

2. DBA Action Items

Displays requests currently being handled by the DBA team, helping track progress—especially useful during large BCM events or weekend checkouts.

3. Pending Application Actions

Lists requests waiting for confirmation or action from application teams, helping identify dependencies early.

4. Trend & Analysis

Provides yearly insights of BCM requests by RDBMS platforms, helping track trends and support operational planning.

Purpose

The dashboard helps make BCM operations more transparent, easier to track, and better coordinated across teams. Teams are encouraged to use the dashboard and share feedback for continuous improvements.

 Hi Team,

Just checking if there are any updates or findings on the databases we reported earlier that appear to have no backup configuration.

We have also identified several other databases with a similar issue. Appreciate it if the team could review them and configure backups where required, especially if they were part of the migration.

Thanks.

 Subject: Action Required: Database Backup Gaps Identified

Dear Team,

As part of our backup monitoring review, we have identified several databases where backups are currently not present. Since backups should be validated as part of the build and migration process, we wanted to bring this to your attention.

The databases highlighted in red appear to be of particular concern, as no backups have been detected for more than six months.

Could you please review and confirm if there are any gaps or if any action is required from the migration side?

Appreciate your support in ensuring backup coverage is in place.

Best regards,

 Hi Team,

We have developed a new OEM Backup Compliance Report to improve visibility and monitoring of backup compliance across our Oracle database estate.

This report helps identify:

- Databases that have not been backed up in the last 3 days

- Databases with no backup configuration in place

L1 team members are requested to regularly monitor and leverage this report to proactively identify any backup gaps and initiate remediation where required.

Going forward, this report will also be integrated into our regular operational reviews so that we continuously monitor backup health and address any compliance gaps early.

Please ensure this report is reviewed as part of your routine monitoring activities.

Regards,

Nikhil
