Comprehensive Data Collection
Remote Diagnostic Agent is a command-line tool which collects configuration and diagnostic data related to:
- Operating System and Environment
- Memory, CPU and Disk data
- OS Patches and Packages
- Environment Settings
- Network configuration and statistics
- Targeted Oracle Product(s)
- Install Version and Patch information
- All configuration and log files
- Metrics (e.g Status Info, DMS Dump, MBean values)
Product Specific Health Checks
RDA also offers pre and post install health checks. Use a pre install check to discover if your host environment complies with Fusion Middleware system requirements. Run a post install check to bring to light configuration settings which may cause issues if not changed. Don’t wait for a problem to arise. Get proactive, take advantage of the health checks today!
Reduce Problem Resolution Time
Oracle Support may request RDA output because it reduces problem resolution time by minimizing the number of requests for more information. RDA is unobtrusive. It does not modify systems and a security filter is provided if required.
WebLogic Server Profile : Default Values and Suppression of Questions
Tip: Expedite result set configuration by setting ORACLE_HOME and DOMAIN_HOME environment variables beforehand.
Example – Target the following for data collection
- Oracle WebLogic Server installed on a Unix machine
- Domain – ‘my_domain’
ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/product/fmw/software/wlserver_10.3; export ORACLE_HOME DOMAIN_HOME=/u01/app/product/fmw/config/domains/my_domain; export DOMAIN_HOME rda.sh -S -p WebLogicServer
If RDA finds the environment variables above set, questions are suppressed and/or default answers are provided which can be accepted by hitting return.
