RDA Overview
| Note: Please review installation and execution instructions below. If you experience difficulties or receive errors please follow the RDA Troubleshooting Guide and RDA FAQ for instructions on reporting problems. |
Overview
Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) is a command-line diagnostic tool that is executed by an engine written in the Perl programming language. RDA provides a unified package of support diagnostics tools and preventive solutions. The data captured provides Oracle Support with a comprehensive picture of the customer's environment which aids in problem diagnosis.
Oracle Support encourages the use of RDA because it greatly reduces service request resolution time by minimizing the number of requests from Oracle Support for more information. RDA is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible; it does not modify systems in any way. It collects useful data for Oracle Support only and a security filter is provided if required.
This guide provides users with an overview of RDA, the download instructions, and general steps about how to execute RDA within a UNIX, Windows, and Mac OS X environment.

Versions Supported
RDA supports most supported versions of the Oracle products listed in Products Supported. In most cases, it runs on desupported versions as well, although the collected information may not be as extensive.
Why use RDA?
Oracle strongly encourages the use of Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) diagnostics collections because it provides a comprehensive picture of the customer's environment. Providing RDA diagnostic output, especially when submitting a Service Request online, can minimize the requirement for follow up questions that may delay problem resolution. RDA collections are essential for the following types of service requests:
- Acquired company product issues
- Developer issues
- Installation/configuration issues
- ORA-600, ORA-7445, ORA-3113, ORA-4030 and ORA-4031 errors
- Oracle Database issues
- Oracle Application Server/Fusion Middleware issues
- Oracle Collaboration products (Oracle Collaboration Suite and Oracle Beehive) issues
- Oracle Application issues
- Other corrective issues
- Performance issues
- Upgrade, migration, and linking issues
Oracle Configuration Manager
The Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) is a data collector that collects key Oracle and system statistics of the system that it is running on. As a key component of Oracle Configuration Manager, the OCM collector (scheduler) optimizes the customer benefits of OCM by automating the configuration collections. OCM simplifies your ability to automate your configuration and diagnostics uploads to Oracle. Oracle Configuration Manager bundle provides the following benefits:
- HealthCheck recommendations based on Support best practices when using configuration auto-collection
- Improves Oracle's understanding of your business needs
- Personalized access to best practices and the Oracle Knowledge base
- Pro-active configuration-specific notification of Security and General Alerts
- Project cataloging of key milestones and contacts associated with your configurations
- Secure, automated configuration collection
- Simplified Service Request logging, tracking and reporting
For troubleshooting information or to learn more about Oracle Configuration Manager see the following Oracle Knowledge 369619.1.
Diagnostic Assistant
The Diagnostic Assistant (DA) tool provides a common, light-weight interface to multiple diagnostic collection tools (ADR, RDA, OCM, Explorer). To learn more about Diagnostic Assistant see the following Oracle Knowledge 201804.1.
For your benefit, Oracle created an RDA/DA/OCM bundle. This bundle contains RDA, OCM, and DA software and it allows customers to install OCM and DA as part of the RDA data collection process.

| Note: RDA is written in Perl and is a command-line script. Besides Perl and a few basic Perl libraries it is not necessary to install extra software. If for some reason Perl 5.005 or above is not available or is inaccessible on your environment, then a binary version is available for download on major platforms. For additional information please read the RDA FAQ - Knowledge Article 330363.1. |
| Note: In this document represents the different RDA OS command to execute RDA. Therefore substitute rda.sh, rda.pl, or perl rda.pl on UNIX and rda.cmd on Windows in place of . |
Installation Instructions
Instructions for UNIX/ZLinux Type Operating Systems
- Choose or create a directory or area on your UNIX server. Make sure you have sufficient space for the RDA output (~150MB). It does not matter where you create this directory or what it is named, but the same user that runs RDA must own it. Do not use a directory that contains an older version of RDA unless you have deleted the previous version of RDA first. If necessary, you can reuse prior setup files.
Note: The rda.zip creates a directory named "rda" containing all the required files when you extract it.
Do not extract the contents of the RDA archive on a Windows client first or you will have to remove the ^M characters from the end of each line in all of the shell scripts in order for them to run. - FTP the downloaded rda.zip file to your UNIX server in binary mode and place it in the directory chosen in step 1.
- Extract the .zip archive contents into a new directory, preserving the directory structure of the archive. Do not extract into a directory that contains an older RDA version. For example:
unzip rda.zip
- Make sure the RDA command (rda.sh and rda.pl) is executable. To verify, enter the following command:
chmod +x
- You can verify the RDA installation using the following command:
./ -cv
Instructions for Microsoft Windows Based Operating Systems
- Create a new directory or area on your Windows server. Make sure you have sufficient space for RDA output (~150MB). It does not matter where you create this directory or what it is named, but it should have access to the Oracle software installation. Do notuse a directory that contains an older version of RDA unless you have deleted the previous version of RDA first.
Note: The rda.zip file creates a directory named " rda" containing all the required files when you extract it. - Transfer the downloadedrda.zip file to your Windows server and place it in the directory chosen in step 1. If transferring the zip file from one system to another using FTP, remember to transfer it in binary mode.
- Extract the .zip archive contents into a new directory, preserving the directory structure of the archive. For ease of use, please be sure to use a utility such as WinZip or 7z rather than the built in Windows extract facility. Do not extract into a directory that contains an older RDA version.
- You can verify the RDA installation using the following command:
-cv
Instructions for HP OpenVMS Based Operating Systems
Due to the special nature of HP OpenVMS environment, Oracle created a separate document. See the RDA - OpenVMS Users Guide: Knowledge Article 171748.1.
Instructions for RDA in OPatch Format
RDA is supplied in OPatch format for Fusion Middleware. This can be downloaded from here.
Instructions on how to install this are in the Readme provided with the patch.
Running RDA
| Note: It is impossible to tell how long RDA will take to execute, as it depends on many variables, such as system activity, the options chosen, network settings, and so on. On an average system, RDA takes just a few minutes to run. Most scripts are designed to stop if for some reason they cannot complete within 30 seconds, (for example, the lsnrctl status command will stop if the listener is not responding.) It is not unusual for RDA to take 15 minutes or more on a busy server, especially if there are many Oracle listener processes active. |
Instructions for UNIX type operating systems (including ZLinux):
-
- Before you begin: Log on as the UNIX user that owns the Oracle installation. On some operating systems, this user will not have the necessary permissions to run all of the commands and utilities called by RDA (e.g. sar, top, vmstat, etc). If you are running RDA to assist in resolving a service request, the analyst will most likely need the information pertaining to the Oracle owner. The exception to this rule is when RDA is used to assist in a performance related issue. In this case, Oracle support recommends that you run RDA as the UNIX user who owns the Oracle software.
Note: If you use su to connect to root or a privileged user, do not use "su -" as the minus resets the environment. - Select the RDA command line script that you will be using. Choose one of the following:
rda.sh - Use this command if Perl is not available.
rda.pl - Use this command if Perl is available.
Use the following command to verify that Perl is installed and available in the path:perl -V
Inspect the command output, checking that '.' (i.e. tells perl to look for libraries in current directory) is present in @INC section. Notice the last entry "." in the example below:
- Before you begin: Log on as the UNIX user that owns the Oracle installation. On some operating systems, this user will not have the necessary permissions to run all of the commands and utilities called by RDA (e.g. sar, top, vmstat, etc).

| @INC: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 . |
- The data collection requires an initial setup to determine which information should be collected. Enter the following command to initiate the set up:
/ -S
After setup completes, you can review the setup file output.cfg by opening in a text editor such as vi.
The output.cfg file is located in the directory that RDA was executed from. i.e. If RDA was installed in /rda and executed from /tmp directory, then the setup file is located in /tmp. -
You can also choose to collect only specific data. For more details, view the command usage help by specifying the -h option, or complete manual page with the -M option.
- Make sure you have ample space for RDA output (approximately 150 MB) in the output location you have chosen in STEP 6. Sometimes, depending on the size of your data files (alert.log, *.trc, install*.log, apache logs, networking logs, etc) of the Oracle installation the final size of your RDA collection may reach over 1000 MB in size.
- At this point, you can collect diagnostic information. sqlplus should connect to the database with the userid that you specified during the setup. Start the data collection using the following command:
./ [-v]
The -v option is optional; it allows you to view the collection progression. Additionally, if you want to re-run the RDA collection, you can use the "-fv" option, for example, ./ -fv. For additional information read the RDA FAQ.
- A more targeted way of executing RDA and a way to limit the number of setup questions asked is the use of Diagnostic profiles ( -p ), see RDA Profiles for list of various profiles or run -L profiles. e.g:. ./ -p DB10g
- The output is a set of HTML files that are located in a directory created by RDA by default in the working directory that RDA was executed from. The default output directory is called output. You can review the data collected by using a Web Browser to open the following file located in:
/RDA__start.htm
Note: Do not submit any health, payment card or other sensitive production data that requires protections greater than those specified in the Oracle GCS Security Practices (http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/customer-support-security-practices-069170.pdf). Information on how to remove data from your submission is available at note 1227943.1 - The final output is also packaged in an archive located in the directory that RDA was executed from -- the packaged output file will have a .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z extension. If the data collection was generated to assist in resolving a Service Request, send the report archive (for example, RDA_output_.tar) to Oracle Support by uploading the file via My Oracle Support. If FTP'ing the file, please be sure to FTP in BINARY format. Please do notrename the file, as the file name helps Oracle Support quickly identify that RDA output is attached to the service request or bundle with other files such as trace or log files into a single or common archive file (.tar, .zip, .jar, etc.)
-
Note: The final output may not generate an archive file (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z). If the archive is missing, please archive all of the files in the manually and send them to Oracle Support. You can use a packaging/archive utility program such as http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html to perform this task.
For more information or clarification please review the demonstration viewlets located in the Training document or please read the RDA FAQ. If you still have problems please follow Troubleshooting Steps.
Instructions for Microsoft Windows Based Operating Systems
- Before you begin: Log on as the WINDOWS user that owns the Oracle installation. On some operating systems, this user will not have the necessary permissions to run all of the commands and utilities called by RDA (e.g. WinMsd utility, MSInfo32 on Windows 2000, Windows 2003) If you are running RDA to assist in resolving a service request, the analyst will most likely need the information pertaining to the Oracle owner. The exception to this rule is when RDA is used to assist in a performance related issue. In this case, Oracle support recommends that you run RDA as the user who owns the Oracle software.
- Choose one RDA command line script that you will be using, either:
rda.cmd Use this command if Perl is not available.
rda.pl Use this command if Perl is available in the path. To verify if Perl is available, enter the following command:
perl -V
In the command output, verify that '.' (i.e. the current directory) is present in @INC section.
The RDA command rda.cmd or rda.pl you choose is represented as in the rest of this procedure.
- The data collection requires an initial setup to determine which information should be collected. Enter the following command from the Windows Command or DOS prompt to initiate the set up: REMEMBER: means use either rda.cmd or rda.pl.
-S
After setup completes, you can review the setup file output.cfg by opening it a text editor like wordpad. The output.cfg file is located in the directory that RDA was executed from. i.e. If RDA was installed in \rda and executed from \temp directory, then the setup file is located in \temp.
You can also choose to collect only specific data. For more details, view the command usage help by specifying the -h option, or complete manual page with the -M option.
- Make sure you have ample space for RDA output (approximately 150 MB) in the output location you have chosen. Sometimes, depending on the size of your data files (alert.log, *.trc, install*.log, apache logs, networking logs, etc) of the Oracle installation the final size of your RDA collection may reach over 1000 MB in size.
- At this point, you can collect diagnostic information. Sqlplus should connect to the database with the userid that you specified during the setup. Start the data collection using the following command:
[-v]
The -v option is optional. It allows you to view the collection progression. Additionally, if you want to rerun RDA collection again, you can use the "-fv" option like -fv . For additional information, read the RDA FAQ.
- A more targeted way of executing RDA and a way to limit the number of setup questions asked is the use of Diagnostic profiles ( -p), see RDA Profiles for list of various profiles. e.g: -p DB10g
- The output is a set of HTML files that are located in a directory created by RDA by default in the working directory that RDA was executed from. The default output directory is called output. You can review the data collected by using a Web Browser to open the following file located in:
/RDA__start.htm
Note: Do not submit any health, payment card or other sensitive production data that requires protections greater than those specified in the Oracle GCS Security Practices (http://www.oracle.com/us/support/library/customer-support-security-practices-069170.pdf). Information on how to remove data from your submission is available at 1227943.1 - The final output is also packaged in an archive located in the directory that RDA was executed from -- the packaged output file will have a .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z extension. If the data collection was generated to assist in resolving a Service Request, send the report archive (for example, RDA_output_.zip) to Oracle Support by uploading the file via My Oracle Support. If FTP'ing the file, please be sure to FTP in BINARY format. Do not rename the file, as the file name helps Oracle Support quickly identify that RDA output is attached to the service request.
The final output may not generate an archive file (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z). If the archive is missing, please archive all the files in the manually and send them to Oracle Support. You can use a packaging/archive utility program such as http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html
- When you send/upload an RDA report in a compressed file (such as .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z), please do so in a separate file and start is named with 'RDA'; this ensures our internal tools and users can find and analyze it correctly.
When sending RDA output to Oracle Support via a My Oracle Support Service Request, we highly recommend that you attached the output file as a single file. Do not bundle with other files such as trace or log files into a single or common archive file (.tar, .zip, .jar, etc.)
For more information or clarification please review the demonstration viewlets located in the Training document or read the RDA FAQ. If you still have problems please follow Troubleshooting Steps.
Instructions for Oracle RAC Cluster or Multi-Node Environment
Due to the special nature of Oracle RAC Cluster environment a separate document was created. Please refer to RDA - RAC Cluster/Multi-Node Users Guide - 359395.1
Instructions for HP OpenVMS Based Operating Systems:
Due to the special nature of HP OpenVMS environment a separate document was created. Please refer to RDA - OpenVMS Users Guide - Knowledge 171748.1
Upgrading RDA
Use the following procedure to manually upgrade the RDA:
- Delete the rda directory and all it's contents. If you want to use the same output.cfg file again, move it to another location first. Also, move any output files you wish to save.
- Download the new version of RDA from this Download RDA.
- Extract the files in the directory you want to install RDA. It will recreate the rda directory for you.
Remember that the directory structure in the archive is important; don't move any RDA files.
Automated update of RDA
As of March 28, 2011, RDA is automatically upgraded in the following scenario:
OCM is installed and configured in "Connect" mode. OCM auto-update will now
upgrade RDA as part of its normal deployment procedure.
For finer control of the RDA upgrade see README_upgrade.txt
Special Notes On Userids And Passwords
As a means of providing higher security when using RDA, passwords are no longer stored in plain text in the setup.txt file. As result, RDA prompts for the required passwords when collecting the data.
If the Perl implementation installed on your operating system supports it, RDA will suppress the character echo during password requests. When the character echo is suppressed, the password is requested twice for verification. If both entered passwords do not match after three attempts, the request is cancelled.
RDA can perform OS authentication, which eliminates having to enter a password for database information gathering. It also accepts "/" as a username to avoid entering a password when RDA is gathering database information.
For executing RDA at regularly scheduled intervals via cron, passwords can be encoded inside the setup file. For instance, to encode the system password, use the following command:
-A system
The password will be requested interactively.
Special Note on the Output Directory
To limit security vulnerabilities, the permissions of the RDA output directory should be set as restrictive as possible. The output directory could contain sensitive configuration information and, when no other mechanism is available, temporary data collection files.
Viewing RDA Report Output Files
RDA output is not encrypted and can be viewed by anyone. You can view the RDA report files using almost any web browser by opening the /output/RDA__start.htm.
We recommend using Mozilla 1.x ( or Higher), Netscape 4.x (or higher), or Internet Explorer 4.x (or higher).
Special Note on Security Filters
The following table is a snapshot of the 'System Settings' section of the end report to demonstrate exactly what Filtering does. The result below is dependent on the system configuration.
| Machine and Version | SunOS 5.6 Generic 105181-29 sun4u |
| Fully qualified host name | |
| Platform | 32 - bit Sun O/S Version 2.6 |
| Logged in as | |
| Last run as | uid=52279 ()gid=101(dba) groups=101(dba) |
| Executed as Oracle home owner? | Yes |
| Sensitive information removed? | Yes |
| Output file prefix | RDA |
| Output file directory | /emea/oracle/ /home/rda2/security/output |
| RDA install directory | /emea/oracle//home/rda2 |
The host names (machine names), are substituted by ''. Similarly, user names are substituted by '' instead of 'oracle'. The group of the software owner is 'dba', which is not substituted by the default filter.
Note that the above report was run as the owner of the Oracle home directory, which was different from 'oracle'. This is the reason why we see '' instead of 'oracle'. The group of the Oracle software owner is 'dba', which is not substituted by the default filter.
The RDA filter substitutes sensitive information (such as user names) using something like in the reports. As shown later in this document, you can customize what information RDA filters out and how RDA substitutes this information.
RDA provides you with a default filter, which currently filters out the information in the list below.
- Domain names
- Group names
- Host names
- IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
- LDAP domain components
- Network masks
- User names
Using Security Filters
RDA allows you to remove sensitive data from RDA reports. The security profile can be used to turn on filtering and can be combined with other profiles. For example:
-S -p DB10g-Security
This will do the RDA setup for the DB10g profile and turn on filtering through the Security profile. If you want to enable the filtering for an existing setup:
-X Filter enable
When the filter is not yet defined, this command will also generate the default filter configuration, based on the system configuration.
Reporting Problems or Feedback
If you have issues with the Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA), you can file an Non-Technical SR in My Oracle Support. Subject line "Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) Issue" and complete the SR.
| Note: Do not let an RDA issue prevent you from progressing on your technical issue that you are running RDA for. Please inform the engineer that owns your technical issue that you are having trouble with RDA and request that he give you instructions on collecting necessary data manually to resolve the issue. RDA is designed to speed up the resolution time of technical issues and we do not want it to interfere with resolution. However, it is important that we get the RDA issue resolved so that it can be used to help speed up resolution for future technical issues |

Frequently Asked Questions
-
- What is the purpose of Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA)?
RDA is designed to be platform independent; there is no longer a separate version for UNIX and Windows. RDA code is readable by the customer so that if there are any concerns about security, they can see exactly what is collected. Documentation is included with the RDA code so that customers can understand and troubleshoot RDA themselves. Also, the RDA documentation has been rewritten and is more comprehensive than in the past to give the customer (internal and external) better understanding.
- Is RDA required in order to resolve my SR?
We strongly encourage the use of RDA as it can greatly assist the analyst in resolving your SR, it contain vast amount of configuration and diagnostic data that reduces the "round trip" time needed to resolve most issues.
RDA has a strong focus on robustness and supportability, in the rare case you are unable to use RDA, please update the SR to inform your analyst, and request that work on the SR continue without the benefit of RDA. Oracle engineers are trained to work issues without the aid of RDA.
- What is required to run RDA?
RDA is command line program written in Perl. It uses only basic Perl libraries so the customer should never have to install anything, as long as Oracle software is available. It uses the Perl libraries that are shipped with Oracle or shipped with some UNIX platforms. RDA has been certified and tested on Perl versions 5.005 - 5.10.x. If for some reason Perl is not available or is inaccessible on the customer environment, then a binary version is available for download on major platforms.
Additionally, RDA users need access to the user that owns the Oracle installation. On some operating systems, this user will not have the necessary permissions to run all of the commands and utilities called by RDA on UNIX (e.g. sar, top, vmstat, etc) or on Windows (WinMsd utility and (MSInfo32 on Windows 2000, Windows 2003). If you are running RDA to assist in resolving a SR, the analyst will most likely need the information pertaining to the Oracle owner. The exception to this rule is when RDA is used to assist in a performance related issue. In this case, Oracle support recommends that you run RDA as the UNIX user who owns the Oracle software.
- How much space do I need run RDA?
RDA requirements for space on the host environment for install; 6 - 80 MB depending on the RDA package you decide to install from (.tar, tar.gz, or .zip) and whether you require the RDAbinary version file.
Regarding RDA output directory requirements, we have observed 80% of the data collected will require less than 150 MB for the final output files generated. We would recommend you allocate at least 150MB to be on the safe side. Sometimes depending on the size of your data and trace files (alert.log, *.trc, install*.log, apache logs, networking logs, etc) of the Oracle installation the final size of your RDA collection may reach over 1000 MB in size. Review the your Oracle trace and log files sizes and calculate to have space to have copies of those files, formatted RDA html files, and a compressed RDA package.
- Where can I download the RDA package?
You can download RDA from Knowledge Article 314422.1, the Main RDA page. Select the RDA zip file for your platform by clicking on the related link. Each zip file contains all the files you need, so only choose one to download.
- I don't have Perl. Where can I get a binary or complied version of RDA? rda.sh and rda.cmd do not assume that components containing Perl are installed. As long as RDA finds an ORACLE_HOME and Perl 5.005 and above in the path, it tries to locate itself where the library modules are and sets the environment appropriately. Therefore, we can run RDA even when perl -V does not work correctly and when @INC is not configured. In most recent builds, it also ignores Perl from the path when it can't find some standard required Perl modules. That also prevents using a nonstandard miniperl environment. For performance reasons, we restrict the search to some well known areas.
If you still can't run RDA because of problems with Perl, you can download the following binary version for your platform.
For RDA versions 4.19 and earlier:
1. You must first ensure you have RDA downloaded and installed on the environment you will be running RDA (see Knowledge Article 314422.1 for the latest available version).
2. Select and download one of the below binary/compiled versions specific to your operating system where RDA will execute from.- The zip file below contains the following files specific to the platform:
- readme.txt
- rda_ --> Binary RDA for use on more recent operating systems. Windows binary has ".exe" extension (e.g. rda_win.exe)
- rda_56 --> Binary RDA with old libraries intended for use on older operating systems.
4. To execute, enter "rda_ -S" rather than "rda.pl" or "rda.sh" or "rda.cmd". (e.g. Execute rda_win.exe -S). Starting with RDA 4.20 and all future releases:
1. You must first ensure you have RDA downloaded and installed on the environment you will be running RDA (see Knowledge Article 314422.1 for the latest available version).
2. Select and download one of the below binary/compiled versions specific to your operating system where RDA will execute from.
- The zip file below contains the following files specific to the platform:
- readme.txt
- rda_ --> Binary RDA for use on more recent operating systems. Windows binary has ".exe" extension (e.g. rda_win.exe)
- rda_56 --> Binary RDA with old libraries intended for use on older operating systems.
4. Confirm that the binary rda in the /rda/engine directory has execute permissions.
5. The rda.cfg in the standard distribution of RDA, RDA, contains the following entries:
RDA_ENG=""
RDA_EXE="rda.exe"
D_RDA=".."
Using the same compiled engine systematically for an RDA installation
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When you want to use a compiled engine through usual RDA commands (rda.cmd or
rda.sh). You must edit the rda.cfg file contained in the engine directory. Its
initial content is:
RDA_ENG=""
RDA_EXE="rda.exe"
D_RDA=".."
After making the file writable, specify the compiled engine name in the RDA_ENG
value. For Windows, you will have:
RDA_ENG="rda_win.exe"
RDA_EXE="rda.exe"
D_RDA=".."
On the first invocation of rda.cmd, the start script will take a copy of the
compiled engine in the RDA installation directory. On subsequent executions,
the start script is checking if a new version of the specified compiled engine
is available. When available, the start script will copy that new version to
rda.exe in the installation directory.
For UNIX, you must use rda.sh to obtain the same result.
Using a compiled engine in a shared or in a read-only installation
------------------------------------------------------------------
When the RDA installation is shared between different systems or different
users, the same compiled engine is not necessarily applicable to everybody or
the installation directory is not necessarily writable for everybody.
In this case, RDA uses the work directory to store the copy of the specified
compiled engine. Create in the working directory an rda.cfg file with the
following content:
RDA_ENG=""
RDA_EXE="rda.exe"
D_RDA=""
For instance,
RDA_ENG="rda_linux.exe"
RDA_EXE="rda.exe"
D_RDA="D:\MyOracleHome\rda"
After that, you can use the usual start scripts.
For UNIX,
/rda.sh
For Windows,
\rda.cmd
On the first invocation of the start script, it will take a copy of the
compiled engine in the RDA installation directory. On subsequent executions,
the start script will check if a new version of the specified compiled engine
is available. When available, the start script will copy that new version to
rda.exe in the installation directory.
The copy mechanism preserves the possibility to upgrade only the shared
installation when a new RDA version is available. Each user will get their
compiled engine copy automatically updated at next run.
Note: PERL5LIB environment variable must not be set in order to use the following compiled binaries of rda.pl. Make sure your PERL5LIB does not point to any Perl installation.

- How do I run an RDA collection?
The following published document detail how to run RDA. There are also, detailed instructions in the README_Unix.txt and README_Windows.txt files contained inside RDA packages.
Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) - Overview - Knowledge Article 314422.1
- How do I force RDA to run Setup again?
RDA will read the values it finds in "output.cfg" first before requiring to answer any setup questions. You can force RDA to start the setup process again in two(2) ways.
- Deleting or renaming the "output.cfg" file $ ./rda.pl -S or
c:\>rda.cmd -S or
$ ./rda.sh -S - Running the following RDA command:
$ ./rda.pl -Sfn or
c:\>rda.cmd -Sfn or
$ ./rda.sh -Sfn
- Deleting or renaming the "output.cfg" file $ ./rda.pl -S or
- How long does it take to run RDA collection?
One common question people ask is "How fast does RDA run on machine x". The answer is complex and depends on several factors:
1. the processing power of the machine/server that RDA has been executed on. For example, it will run faster on a 4 CPU machine than a single CPU machine.
2. the availability of free system resources at the time RDA executes. If your system is running at 95% CPU utilization then RDA will take much longer on that system than on a system running at 45% CPU utiltzation. Other factors such as I/O and memory also play an important role.
3. the number of RDA modules to be executed. RDA is comprised of individual modules processing specific tasks from operating commands to log file collection. Each module can take a varying amount of time, depending on the amount of data that needs to be processed. In most RDA collections several modules are executing in sequence or parallel, depending on the operating system and modules in question.
4. the size of the files that need to be parsed by RDA. For example, a 100Kb file will be parsed much quicker than a 2Mb file.
5. the performance of the underlying operating system calls. Some commands such as netstat -an can take over 15 minutes to process.
RDA has been configured with a timeout mechanism to avoid certain modules from taking too long to process. The default timeout mechanism has been set to thirty (30) seconds for each command and SQL execution.
We cannot, therefore, give exact numbers on how long RDA will take to execute on your environment. However, here are some averages:
- Based on 100 random real world customer RDA outputs uploaded to Support Services, average time was: 438 seconds or 7 mins.
- Based on internal tests.

- How do I force RDA to collect data again?
RDA will read the values it finds in directory first. If it finds data that has not been collected it will attempt to collect that data. However if you want RDA to collect data again you can execute the following commands. (-v: verbose , C: collect , R: render into html, P: Package contents of output directory into archive, and f : force execution of all commands.
$ ./rda.sh -vCRPf or
c:\>rda.cmd -vCRPf or
$ ./rda.pl -vCRPf or
$./rda.sh -vf or
c:\>rda.cmd -vfFinally, if you need to run data collection for specific module again you can just run the following command (OS: Operating system and DBA: Database)
$ ./rda.sh -vCRP OS DB or
c:\>rda.cmd -vCRP OS DBANote: The collection process will execute must faster and you will not receive any notices when it completes. This also overwrite the data in the output directory.
- Where is the RDA output located?
The output is a set of HTML files that are located in the working directory that executed RDA, in the "output" directory. You can review the data collected, by using a Web Browser to open the following file located in the output directory:
RDA__start.htm
The final output is also packaged in an archive, located in the working directory that executed RDA -- the packaged output file will have a .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z extension. If the data collection was generated to assist in resolving a Service Request, send the report archive (note: file name varies, but ends in .zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z ; e.a: RDA_.zip) to Oracle Support by uploading the file via My Oracle Support. If FTP'ing the file, please be sure to FTP in BINARY format. Do not rename the file, as the file name helps Oracle Support quickly identify that RDA output is attached to the service request. >
Note: The final output directory may not contain an archive file (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, or .tar.Z ). If the archive is missing, please archive all the files in the manually and send them to Oracle Support. You can use a packaging/archive utility program like http://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html to perform this task.
- Is there a localized version of RDA?
No. Currently this utility is written in the English language only, including the built in documentation. In the future, Oracle might offer other versions based on customer demand.
- Will RDA find the solution to my SR?
No. RDA is a tool to assist in resolving the customer's issue. As stated above, RDA's purpose is to collect accurate information about the Oracle installation environment. In many cases RDA will collect information that you think is unnecessary, but may be needed during a later stage of the SR or by the next person reviewing the SR (e.g. escalations, development, etc.). In its first phase, RDA is a collection agent. The long term plan is that the next phase RDA will involve a diagnostic component to analyze the information collected.
- There are sections missing my RDA report, Why ?
There may be some confusion about RDA not displaying all reports or sections. A new feature was added to improve search efficiency and consistency between modules; if a report or section does not contain information, then it is not generated. This was already the case for some modules in the previous version of RDA and it has been generalized. Another factor for this change is that relevant directories could be different from platforms (e.g. UNIX >< Windows) and can even differ between RAC and non-RAC environments.
If the operating system commands error out, the reports are not generated.
If an unexpected error (e.g. table not found) is encountered, it will be visible in the reports. Some results can be incomplete due to execution timeouts. An overview of SQL execution is provided in the Report Settings report.
SQL Request Overview Module Requests Errors Time-Out Skipped Comment S000INI 1 0 0 0 SQL execution limited to 30s S110PERF 3 0 0 0 S125GTW 1 0 0 0 S200DB 34 0 0 0 SQL execution limited to 30s S300IAS 2 0 0 0 SQL execution limited to 30s S400RAC 3 0 0 0 On another hand, the absences of optional components are not considered as an error. The error explanation (-E) and the readme indicates how to change DFT/N_SQL_TIMEOUT and other timeout parameters.
- What does the RDA-nnnnn error mean when I executed RDA?
RDA has a built in error handling mechanism. You can discover the meaning and possible solution to the error by using the following RDA command line argument: rda.pl -E {ERROR #} . i.e:
$ ./rda.pl -E RDA-14RDA-00014: %d issue(s) found in the RDA installation*Cause: issues encountered when checking the RDA installation*Action: A fresh install of RDA is probably the easiest way to fix filealteration problems. However, permission problems can result fromother factors:- If RDA has been installed by another user, the default settingscould be too restrictive. Please review the local context withthat user and your appropriate local authorities.- Execution permissions can be missing on startup scripts for otherplatforms and when perl is not available from the command line.
- What does the RDA-00010 error mean?
This error generally occurs when running a RDA binary (i.e. rda_win.exe, rda_sunos, etc). This error generally is followed by lines containing "PERL2EXE_STORAGE" and or a Perl *.pm module name.
Cause: The following OS environment variable PERL5LIB is set or your OS environment points to Perl installation. This causes a conflict for the RDA binary to located needed Perl modules binded within the executable.
Action: Unset PERL5LIB environment variable.
- What does the RDA-00006 error mean?
This error generally occurs when RDA cannot find a suitable archiving program like zip or tar in your OS path. You can do two(2) things to resolve this issue: (1) Make you your OS PATH variable contains the location to a "command line" zip or tar program. (2) You can manually compress the RDA directory and sent that to Oracle Support. >
See: $ ./rda.pl -E RDA-00006 or c:\>rda.cmd -E RDA-00006
Cause: No packaging tool paths have been found.
Action: The path to zip or tar commands has not been collected. This typically occurs when the end report has not yet been produced or if these commands have not been found in the current execution path (cf. PATH). - What does the OCM-09004 error mean?
This error generally mean that certain pre-requisites for OCM installation failed. The details of the failed prerequisites can be retrieved in the 'Report Setting' section of RDA output and that more info can be obtained with -E option
See: $ ./rda.pl -E OCM-09004 or c:\>rda.cmd -E OCM-09004
OCM-09004: Java Development Kit not found
*Cause: Java neither found under the $ORACLE_HOME/jdk directory nor JAVA_HOME is set.
*Action: Set JAVA_HOME to a JDK that is 1.2.2 or greater and re-run the OCM module setup. - How to change the default parameters like SQL_TIMEOUT?
There a few ways to set the default parameters in RDA, which useful for certain situations. Changing it temporarily from the command line using "-e" switch (SEE RDA MAN PAGE ) or using built in help system (rda.pl -h):
/rda.pl -vCRP -e DFT/N_SQL_TIMEOUT=120,DFT/N_ATTEMPTS=25
This command collects, generates the new reports and provides up to 120 seconds for executing each SQL statement and retries to execute the same sql statement 25 times temporarily for this time only.
Modifying the output.cfg file using a text editor like "vi" or "wordpad". You will find section with output.cfg file that relates to timeout (#N.SQL timeout (in seconds)).
Changing it more permanently from the command like using setup level "-p" switch (SEE RDA MAN PAGE ) or using built in help system (rda.pl -h):]./rda.sh -S -p advanced DB or
rda.cmd -S -p advanced DB or
rda.pl -S -p advanced DBTurns on advanced setup prompts, more settings can be specified interactively by using the advanced level.
- Can RDA be setup without asking any questions?
Yes. RDA was designed to determine values to setup question from the customer OS environment. You can also, pass all default parameters and values in a single command like this:
$ ./rda.pl -Sy -e DB.DB.B_SYSDBA=1,DB.DB.T_USER=/ OS INST DB
- How can I reduce the size or amount of RDA output files?
RDA has 2 mechanisms to reduce the size and quantity of trace and log files it collects and packages in the output file. The first is built into the advance setup profiles of the various collection modules, specifically for the (INI, DB, WEBC, IAS, GTW, RAC) modules and can be called using the following command(s):
$ rda.sh -S -p expert INI DB or
rda.cmd -S -p expert INI DB or
rda.pl -S -p expert INI DBThe second is using the using "-e" switch when calling RDA (rda.sh, rda.cmd, or rda.pl):
See modules: DB:[DB_TRACE_AGE, ALERT_TAIL], INI:[RDA_TAIL], GTW:[GATEWAY_TAIL], IAS:[DCM_TAIL], WEBC:[WEBCACHE_TAIL], RAC:[CLUSTER_TAIL]
./rda.sh -e DB_TRACE_AGE=5, ALERT_TAIL=1000 or
./rda.cmd -e DB_TRACE_AGE=5, ALERT_TAIL=1000 - Can RDA be scheduled to run automatically via CRON or AT?
Yes. You need to check with your OS documentation regarding running scheduling applications like CRON and AT. Please note you may need purge RDA log files in the directory and encode passwords in your output.cfg when required.
- How do I stop RDA from collecting everything?
RDA has been designed to reduce the number of setup questions and also can be called to only collect certain modules. RDA will call any dependent modules first; for instance OS module will always call the INI module. The list of available diagnostic modules is located here Module Man Pages or can be listed by executing (rda.pl -L):
$./rda.sh -vCRP OS PERF DBA LOG BR RAC or
C:\>rda.cmd -vCRP OS PERF DBA LOG BR RAC or
$./rda.pl -S -p advanced OS or
$ ./rda.pl -S -p advanced INI DB RAC - How do I verify the RDA package that I installed is not corrupted?
RDA has an internal file verification system to handle most types of file corruptions, as long as ./rda.pl, rda.sh, or rda.cmd can be called or not corrupt themselves: It can be run using the following command.
$ ./rda.sh -vc or
C:\>rda.cmd -vc or
$ ./rda.pl -vc - Why is RDA taking a long time to run the setup process?
Command execution can be slow to start when there are difficulties to detect the TCP/IP domain of the server that RDA is running on. The setup process can takes several minutes in some circumstances. The RDA_DOMAIN environment variable can avoid that.
On UNIX:
$RDA_DOMAIN=oracle.com
$RDA_DOMAIN=oracle.com
./rda.sh -S or
$export RDA_DOMAIN
$./rda.sh -S
On Windows:C:\set\RDA_DOMAIN=oracle.com
C:\rda.cmd -S - Why is RDA repeating the same title message several times during setup?
Sometimes a situation will occur where a user will notice a message like " S000INI: Initializes the Data Collection" being repeated over and over and without additional new messages.
If you see such strange behavior during setup process, than your current Perl installation contains Perl modules (.pm) that have been corrupted, please either install a newer Perl installation or use the RDA binary version.
- When I run RDA it creates a "core dump" or segmentation violation, what now?
There could be several things that could cause an OS "core dump"(you local Perl installation is core dumping, the OS libraries/modules is not correctly configured, or JAVA is crashing.
- Run a few simple tests to verify that Perl is working:
./rda.pl -h (does this work?)
./rda.pl -c (does this work?)
./rda.pl -V (does this work?) - If any of the above steps cause a hang or core dump, than your current Perl installation contains Perl modules (.pm) that have been corrupted, please either install a newer Perl installation or use the RDA binary version
- Test where the failure is occurring during data collection.
rda.sh -vt90 or
rda.cmd -vt90 (This command will run a debug and trace of all the commands executed, and will let you see when it core dumps) - Provide the output of the above command to Oracle Support for Review.
Note: rda.pl can be substituted by rda.sh on UNIX and rda.cmd on Windows.
- Run a few simple tests to verify that Perl is working:
- When I run RDA there is not .zip file in my [RDA_OUTPUT] directory, what now?
The final output directory may not contain an archive file (.zip, .tar, tar.gz, or tar.Z ) due to problems finding a compression program in your OS environment PATH. If the archive is missing, please archive all the files in the manually using a compression program like zip or Tar and send that to Oracle Support. You can use a packaging/archive utility program likehttp://www.info-zip.org/Zip.html to perform this task.>
- How do I upgrade my RDA installation from the prior release? For RDA 4.x to RDA 4.x upgrades:
The most simplest and reliable way to upgrade your RDA installation is delete or move your old installation to a new location. Then install the new release into the location you had the prior release installed. If you want to reuse you old setup.cfg file, you can place the older version into the new directory and it will try to upgrade your setup.cfg to the new features.
A second approach is to install the latest RDA into another directory, then if needed copy the old setup.cfg file to the new RDA directory. When the new RDA is run for the first time, it will try to upgrade your setup.cfg to the new features.
For RDA 4.x to RDA 8.x upgrades:Upgrade your RDA installation by deleting the current RDA location or creating a new location for RDA 8.x. There is no migration patch for RDA 4.x setup to RDA 8.x setup. RDA 8 does not create or use the old 4.x setup.cfg file.
For RDA 8.x to RDA 8.x upgrades:
The most simplest and reliable way to upgrade your RDA installation is delete or move your old RDA 8.x installation to a new location. Then install the new release into the location you had the prior release installed. If you want to reuse you old output.cfg file, you can place the older version into the new directory and it will try to upgrade your output.cfg to the new features.
A second approach is to install the latest RDA into another directory, then if needed copy the old output.cfg file to the new RDA directory. When the new RDA is run for the first time, it will try to upgrade your output.cfg to the new features.
- When I run the binary version of RDA it asks for newer libraries, what now?
The binary or compiled build of RDA were designed to have fewest library dependencies as possible. However, certain required libraries like libpthread maybe required. Additional binary versions of RDA has been build using older OS library versions for customer who have problems with our Primary binary version of RDA. Use the following secondary builds of RDA ONLY IF you have problems with primary RDA binary builds.
Knowledge Article 335791.1 - Secondary Binary RDA version
- Why is RDA reporting incorrect timestamp's of directory and file listing?
If you noticed that notice the times listed under the Listing of Files from Oracle
Log/Trace Directories are off by 5 or 7 hours, it is because RDA reports all times in GMT instead of local time zone. Also you will notice there are 2 dates in the directory listing, it because they represent:ctime inode change time in seconds since the epoch
mtime last modify time in seconds since the epoch - Can I connect to a remote database using RDA?
RDA is no longer dependent on 'sqlplus' for its database collection.
At setup time select "N" to the question "Is a local connection required (Y/N)?"
Follow prompts.
orYou can use command line -A" option to connect with JDBC to a remote database.
Example: JDBC connect information - @jdbc@
Usage: Review the "-A" command line option for password a use and password to the RDA rule definition setup file.
Simple case on Unix calling a database collection.
> rda/rda.sh -Snvp DB_Assessment
> rda/rda.sh -A @jdbc@
When prompt give password for user.
> rda/rda.sh -vIf you need to use sqlplus:
user AS SYSDBA
user@db
user@db AS SYSDBA
/
/ AS SYSDBA
/@db
/@db AS SYSDBANo password will be required for all '/' combinations.
If @db format is specified and the db must be identical to ORACLE_SID environment variable, RDA will assume that the TNS entry needs to be used instead of ORACLE_SID (and ORACLE_SID is removed from the environment).
- I am having difficulty running RDA 4. What do I do?
Note: If you have issues with the Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) , please file a Service Request via My Oracle Support by selecting OSS Support Tools from the product list of values on the Create a SR screen (OSS is above Oracle in the product list). Then select the "*Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) Issue*" as the problem type and complete the SR.
Please DO NOT let an RDA issue prevent you from progressing on your technical issue that you are running RDA for. Please inform the engineer that owns your technical issue that you are having trouble with RDA and request that he/she give you instructions on collecting necessary data manually to resolve the issue. RDA is designed to speed up the resolution time of technical issues and we do not want it to interfere with resolution. However, it is important that we get the RDA issues resolved so that it can be used to help speed up resolution for future technical issues.
- How do I provide RDA output to Oracle Support?
RDA Output can be provided to Oracle Support when creating a Service Request or Updating a Service Request.During Service Request creation, the second step allows you to upload files that may be needed by Oracle Support. We highly recommend that you attached the output file as a single file. Do not bundle with other files such as trace or log files into a single or common archive file (.tar, .zip, .jar, etc.). During a Service Request Update, click on the link "upload to support".You can attach your RDA Output in the new window that opens.Remember to upload your RDA output as a separate file.
When a RDA output file is uploaded to a Service Request in My Oracle Support the collection package attached to the SR is identified and the diagnostic information is loaded into a repository. The file is no longer externally accessible as an attachment of the SR. A auto generated message updates the SR that the file was uploaded.
@ ORACLE EMPLOYEES:
- There are connection issues when attempting to connect to OID database SID.
OID SID DB information is required in the "host:port::ServiceName" format, for the prompt "Enter the OID database:". If you do not want RDA to collect information from the database, then enter a dash ('-').
- Why does RDA not collect database information when getting ORA-28002 or ORA-28011?
RDA considers all ORA and SP2 errors at connection time are connection problems and stop collecting database information
- How to disable the parallel collection in RDA 4.18 and later?
Set the default for NO_PARALLEL to 1 in modules/S000INI.cfg, and specify NO_PARALLEL=1 in all setup files already present.
- How much space does Explorer require before running?
Explorer demands that 60Mb is free before starting the collection. RDA requires that by default 100 MiB free space to start (default value of RDA_FREE setting) and since Explorer requires RDA for some of it collections you can say that Explorer needs 100 MiB of free space before starting a collection.
- What does the warning RDA-00031 mean and how to solve it?
Executing rda.sh -E RDA-00031 or rda.cmd -E RDA-00031 and review the warning message and how to increase the sql timeout.
- Why does the RDA install download zip look almost empty?
At the parent level of the RDA install zip you could see just a README and a directory called ".". If you drill down on the "." directory you will see all of the required RDA files to be installed. Instructions for the download and install of RDA can be found in the RDA "Getting Started" MOS note 314422.1

快速部署RDA Remote Diagnostic Agent
RDA Remote Diagnostic Agent远程诊断代理是Oracle Support售后服务使用的标准工具之一，当用户在Metalink上提交SR(TAR)时可能Oracle GCS(Global Customer Service)支持会需要让用户从MOS上下载RDA工具，通过RDA收集丰富的数据库环境信息(如包含OS、DB、CRS等)，以便原厂售后直接从RDA report中抓取诊断信息，避免了因诊断信息不足 而反复信息交互所浪费的时间 ； 此外Oracle的一些ACS高级客户服务的现场服务过程中也会利用到RDA，例如当用户要求ACS到现场进行月度或季度巡检是RDA就是标准的检查工具。
说了这么多， 你可能还是不太了解RDA。 这不要紧，你可以把RDA看成一套由oracle定义了很多模块的脚本工具盒， 用它可以收集到诊断过程复杂的Oracle产品问题的各种信息。 可以从My Oracle Support(metalink)的《Remote Diagnostic Agent (RDA) 4 – Getting Started [ID 314422.1]》专栏中下载到各个平台的最新版RDA。
虽然RDA是Oracle Support使用的工具 ， 但是并不是说非原厂售后就看不懂RDA也不能利用到这款工具。 RDA从脚本、模块到最后生成的报告都是自然可读的。 譬如Maclean.Liu 我 在诊断较复杂的问题过程中也会用到RDA， 我甚至推荐在数据库巡检、健康检查过程中也使用RDA， 当然是配合其他工具一起使用。
在使用RDA之前我们需要完成配置工作，所谓配置就是选择我们要使用的RDA module和一些临时设置，先来认识一下有哪些module:

我们在配置RDA的时可以直接执行./rda.sh， 脚本会提示我们需要选择启用哪些Module，但是因为Module过多，整个配置过程就会浪费很多时间。
为了避免每配置一套新环境都要大费周章确认那么多模块， 所以在RDA中定义了很多典型场景使用的profile， 这些profile已经配好了固定的一些Module ， 下面我们来看一下RDA profile:
列出所有目前可用的profile[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -L profiles Available profiles are:9iAS Oracle Application Server 9i problemsAS10g Oracle Application Server 10g problemsAS10g_Identity Oracle Identity Management 10g problemsAS10g_MidTier Oracle Application Server 10g Middle Tier problemsAS10g_Repository Oracle Application Server 10g metadata repository problemsAS10g_WebTier Oracle Application Server 10g WebTier problemsAS_BackupRecovery Oracle Application Server backup/recovery problemsAct Oracle Application OverviewAppsCheck Equivalent to AppsCheckAsmFileSystem Oracle ASM Cluster File System problemsBam Business Activity Monitoring problemsBeehive Oracle Beehive problemsDB10g Oracle Database 10g problemsDB11g Oracle Database 11g problemsDB8i Oracle Database 8i problemsDB9i Oracle Database 9i problemsDB_Assessment Oracle Database assessment collectionsDB_BackupRecovery Oracle Database backup and recovery problemsDB_Perf Oracle Database performance problemsDataGuard Data Guard problemsDirectNFS Direct NFS problemsDiscoverer10g Oracle Discoverer 10g problemsDiscoverer11g Oracle Discoverer 11g problemsEnterpriseSearch Oracle Secure Enterprise Search problemsEssbase Oracle Essbase problemsFM11g_Bi Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g problemsFM11g_Ecm Oracle Enterprise Content Management 11g problemsFM11g_Forms Oracle Forms 11g problemsFM11g_Identity Oracle Identity Management 11g problemsFM11g_Odi Oracle Data Integrator Standalone 11g problemsFM11g_Portal Oracle Portal 11g problemsFM11g_Reports Oracle Reports 11g problemsFM11g_Soa Oracle SOA Suite 11g problemsFM11g_WebTier Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Web Tier problemsFM11g_WlsBi Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition 11g with WLSFM11g_WlsForms Oracle Forms 11g with WLS problemsFM11g_WlsIdentity Oracle Identity Management 11g with WLS problemsFM11g_WlsOdi Oracle Data Integrator Suite 11g with WLS problemsFM11g_WlsPortal Oracle Portal 11g with WLS problemsFM11g_WlsReports Oracle Reports 11g with WLS problemsFM11g_WlsWebTier Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Web Tier with WLS problemsFinManagement Oracle Hyperion Financial Management problemsGridControl Grid Control problemsInterMedia Oracle interMedia problemsLinux Linux problemsLinuxPerf Linux performance problemsMaa_Assessment Maximum Availability Architecture assessment collectionsMultimedia Oracle Multimedia problemsOSMonitor Operating System performance samplingOVMManager Oracle VM Manager problemsPda10g Portal 10g problemsPda11g Portal 11g problemsPda9i Portal 9i problemsPeopleSoft_DB PeopleSoft Oracle Database tier assessment collectionsPeopleSoft_Web PeopleSoft Web application server assessment collectionsRac Real Application Cluster problemsRac_AdvancedAsm Cluster with ASM problems (ASM advanced mode)Rac_Asm Cluster with ASM problemsRac_Assessment Real Application Cluster assessment collectionsRac_Perf Cluster performance problemsRetail Oracle Retail problemsSecurity Filter sensitive information from the reportsSupportInformer70 Oracle Communication BRM 7.0 problemsSupportInformer72 Oracle Communication BRM 7.2 problemsSupportInformer73 Oracle Communication BRM 7.3 problemsSupportInformer74 Oracle Communication BRM 7.4 problemsTimesTen Oracle TimesTen problemsTopLink10g Oracle TopLink 10g problemsWebCenter10g Oracle WebCenter 10g problemsWebCenter11g Oracle WebCenter 11g problemsWebCenterCont10g Oracle WebCenter 10g with Oracle Content Services problemsWebLogicServer Oracle WebLogic Server problems
上例列出了该版本RDA默认就有的Profile ， 如DB11g这个profile是用来收集11g Database数据库的诊断信息的， 而DB10g 是收集10g Database诊断信息的， DB_Perf是收集数据库性能诊断信息的。
可以具体了解 这些profile 预设了哪些Module:
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -M -p DB11g NAMEProfile DB11g - Oracle Database 11g problemsMODULESThe DB11g profile uses the following modules:OS Collects the Operating System InformationPROF Collects the User ProfilePERF Collects Performance InformationNET Collects Network InformationONET Collects Oracle Net InformationINST Collects the Oracle Installation InformationDB Controls RDBMS Data CollectionDBA Collects RDBMS InformationDBM Collects RDBMS Memory InformationLOG Collects Database Trace and Log FilesDNFS Collects Direct NFS InformationSP Collects SQL*Plus/iSQL*Plus InformationGRID Controls Grid Control Data CollectionAGT Collects Enterprise Manager Agent InformationDBC Collects Database Control Information[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -M -p DB10g NAMEProfile DB10g - Oracle Database 10g problemsMODULESThe DB10g profile uses the following modules:OS Collects the Operating System InformationPROF Collects the User ProfilePERF Collects Performance InformationNET Collects Network InformationONET Collects Oracle Net InformationINST Collects the Oracle Installation InformationDB Controls RDBMS Data CollectionDBA Collects RDBMS InformationDBM Collects RDBMS Memory InformationLOG Collects Database Trace and Log FilesSP Collects SQL*Plus/iSQL*Plus InformationGRID Controls Grid Control Data CollectionAGT Collects Enterprise Manager Agent InformationDBC Collects Database Control Information
除了module之外profile可能还定义了一些临时变量如force_onet_tests 是否强制做oracle net网络测试等， 可以用-f( Set force mode)选项来列出这些temporary settings：
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -fM -p DB10g NAMEProfile DB10g - Oracle Database 10g problemsMODULESThe DB10g profile uses the following modules:OS Collects the Operating System InformationPROF Collects the User ProfilePERF Collects Performance InformationNET Collects Network InformationONET Collects Oracle Net InformationINST Collects the Oracle Installation InformationDB Controls RDBMS Data CollectionDBA Collects RDBMS InformationDBM Collects RDBMS Memory InformationLOG Collects Database Trace and Log FilesSP Collects SQL*Plus/iSQL*Plus InformationGRID Controls Grid Control Data CollectionAGT Collects Enterprise Manager Agent InformationDBC Collects Database Control InformationSETTINGSThe DB10g profile sets the following temporary settings:force_db_tests=1force_dba_tests=1force_dbm_tests=1force_log_tests=1force_onet_tests=1
也可以列出全部预定义的profile的Module信息:
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -xv profiles Treating profiles ...

使用-Q 选项可以更详细地列出profile相关的问题：
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -Q -p DB11gNAMES120NET - Collects Network InformationSETTING DESCRIPTIONNETWORK_PING_TESTS"Do you want RDA to perform the network ping tests (Y/N)?"LOCAL_NODE"Enter the name of the node the script is running on (used for pingtests)"WAN_NODE"Enter a remote node connecting to this server (used for ping tests)"RDBMS_NODE"Enter the node hosting the database instance (used for ping tests)"WEB_NODE"Enter the node where the Web Server/Forms server is on (used for pingtests)"...............
通过继承profile的定义可以快速配置RDA，例如我们尝试使用DB11g这个profile:
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -S -p DB11g使用profile后RDA问你的问题明显减少了哦之后在运行rda.sh就会收集信息了[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RDA Data Collection Started 06-Feb-2012 01:23:22 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processing Initialization module ... Enter the password for 'SYSTEM': Please re-enter it to confirm: Processing OCM module ... Processing PERF module ... Processing CFG module ... Processing OS module ..
可能你还是觉得麻烦：”我使用oracle操作系统用户登录的，为啥每次还要输密码呢？直接sysdba不行吗？” 对于有些内部视图X$ View的查询也确实需要sysdba权限， 我们可以如下设置来使用sysdba身份：
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -Sy -e SQL_SYSDBA=1,SQL_LOGIN=/ -p DB11g[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RDA Data Collection Started 06-Feb-2012 01:27:37 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Processing Initialization module ... Processing OCM module ... Processing PERF module ... Processing CFG module ... Processing OS module ...
除了单独使用某个profile外，我们还可以组合使用多个profile，使用-p profile1-profile2这样的语法即可，如:
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -Sy -e SQL_SYSDBA=1,SQL_LOGIN=/ -p DB11g-DataGuard使用-p profile1-profile2这样的模式即可
RDA经过配置后会默认将配置信息写到其目录下的setup.cfg文件中，之后再使用rda.sh收集信息即会沿用该cfg文件：
cat setup.cfg# Oracle Remote Diagnostic Agent - Setup Information ################################################################################------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Data Collection Overview #------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # S000INI=pending # S010CFG=pending # S020SMPL=pending # S090OCM=pending # S100OS=pending # S105PROF=pending # S110PERF=pending # S120NET=pending # S122ONET=pending # S130INST=pending # S200DB=skip # S201DBA=pending # S203DBM=pending # S204LOG=pending # S205BR=pending # S212DNFS=skip # S213SP=skip # S400RAC=pending # S400RACD=skip # S401OCFS=skip # S405DG=pending # S410GRID=skip # S420AGT=skip # S430DBC=skip # S909RDSP=skip # S919LOAD=pending # S990FLTR=skip www.askmaclean.com www.askmaclean.com # S999END=pending .................
除了最常见的DB11g 、 DB10g外还有一些很有用的profile可以加速我们对问题的诊断， 在这里分享一下：

还可以利用rda对OS做数据库软件安装前的预检查，如将需要安装11.2g,则执行 ./rda.sh -T hcve：

上例对OS做了Oracle Database 11g R2 (11.2.0) Preinstall的预安装检查 ，并给出了检查结果。
还可以使用./rda.sh命令对现有的RDA软件做完整性检测，保证RDA没有被修改过:
[oracle@vrh8 rda]$ ./rda.sh -cv Loading the file list ... Checking the directory '.' ... Checking the directory 'RDA' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Handle' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Library' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Library/Remote' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Local' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Object' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Operator' ... Checking the directory 'RDA/Value' ... Checking the directory 'hcve' ... Checking the directory 'modules' ... No issues found
