About Database Control Preferences
数据库控制参数选择

 

Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control (Database Control) enables you to set user preferences in the following areas:
oracle企业管理数据库控制台允许你在如下方面设置用户参数：

Notification
通知

These settings enable Database Control to e-mail you alerts. Alerts are notifications that the database is in an undesirable state and needs your attention. By default, the Database Home page lists all alerts. However, setup is required for e-mail notification. For more information about alerts and setting up notifications, see "Setting Up Direct Alert Notification".
这些设置可以让数据库控制台把警告通过电子邮件方式发送给你。警告就是告诉你目前数据库的状态不佳，需要你关注。默认情况下，数据库主页会列出所有的警告。然而，调整需要电子邮件通知。关于警告和设置通知的信息参见 "Setting Up Direct Alert Notification"。

Blackout Administration
中断管理

Blackouts suspend the collection of database monitoring data and the sending of alerts by Database Control. This enables you to perform scheduled maintenance on the database without receiving needless alerts and without skewing the monitoring data. For example, you can stop data collections during a database backup or a hardware upgrade. If you continue monitoring during these periods, the collected data will show trends and other monitoring information that are not the result of typical day-to-day operations. To get a more accurate, long-term picture of database performance, you can use blackouts to exclude these special-case situations from data analysis. See "Defining Blackout Periods" for more information.
中断把收集数据库监控文件和警告日志给挂起了。

Preferred Credentials
首次认证

Database Control can automatically execute many routine administrative tasks, such as backups. This is done using a job scheduling system built into Database Control. To keep your environment secure, setting up tasks for automatic execution in Enterprise Manager requires you to provide login information for the host computer and database. To avoid entering this information every time you create or run a job or task, Database Control enables you to save this information as preferred credentials. Preferred credentials are stored in the database in encrypted mode to protect them from unauthorized use. See "Setting Preferred Credentials".
数据库控制台可以自动执行许多例行的管理任务，如备份。这是通过控制台中的任务计划系统实现的。为保证环境安全在企业管理器设置自动执行任务的时候需要提供主机和数据库的登录信息。避免每次都输入同样的信息，控制台可以在你第一次输入的时候保存你的信息。首次输入的认证信息以加密的形式保存在数据库中，防止未授权的人使用。

Defining Blackout Periods
定义中断周期

You can define one or more one-time or repeating blackout periods during which collection of database monitoring information and the sending of alerts are suspended.

Setting Preferred Credentials
设置首次认证

When you set preferred credentials, Database Control automatically fills in host computer and database login credentials for you at times when it usually prompts for these credentials, or when it is about to run a job that requires credentials.
当你设置了首次认证，在你下次登录提示填写认证信息或者执行需要认证的动作的时候，控制台会自动帮你填写上主机和数据库的登录认证

To set preferred credentials for the database:

1. From any Database Control page, at the top of the page, click Preferences.
   在任何一个控制页面的顶端，点击Preferences。

   The Preferences page appears.
   会弹出参数选择页面。

2. Click Preferred Credentials in the left-hand pane.

3. In the table row for the Database Instance, click the icon under Set Credentials.
   表格中每一行都是一个数据库实例，点击Set Credentials下面的图标。

   The Preferred Credentials page appears.

4. Enter database credentials for Normal Username/Password and SYSDBA Username/Password, and enter host credentials for Host Username/Password. For example, you might typically connect as the user SYSTEM, use the SYS account for SYSDBA access, and use oracle for the host user name.
   在 Normal Username/Password和SYSDBA Username/Password输入数据库的认证信息。在Host Username/Password输入主机的认证信息。例如，你要用SYSTEM用户连接到数据库，需要用SYS账户访问数据库及oracle用户连接到主机。

   Note:

   The host user may require certain host privileges to run background jobs such as database backups. For example, on UNIX and Linux, the host user must belong to the OSDBA group (typically dba), and on Windows, the host user must be a member of the Administrators group and must be granted the Log on as batch job logon right. See your platform documentation for more information.
   主机用户可能需要适当的权限来运行后台工作，如数据库备份。例如在UNIX和Linux上主机用户必须属于OSDBA组（一般组名是dba），在Windows，主机用户必须是管理员组的成员必须有 Log on as batch job logon权限。 具体内容参见你的平台文档。

5. Click Test to test your credentials.
   点击Test ，测试你的认证信息。

   A confirmation message is displayed if your credentials can be verified.
