2 Beginning of a visionary approach to Enterprise Database Management. With the Introduction of Unicenter 3.0, Computer Associates is once again redefining the rules of Enterprise Management or, at a higher level, Infrastructure Management. This approach is different from the traditional Unicenter TNG framework technology. The excitement behind the new Unicenter 3.0 is it does not require the framework to be installed for the other enterprise management applications to be plugged. This approach provides greater flexibility for the clients to choose the respective enterprise management modules as and when required, while at the same time providing future cohesive enterprise management capabilities and thus preserving the investment. This modular approach is accomplished using a Common services component, which is shipped with the individual products and installed only if required. This provides the capability for the individual enterprise management applications to integrate in a flexible and adaptive manner when needed. This approach reduces footprint and also eliminates the integration complexities. As always, it has proven successful to take a high level approach in managing the enterprises as a whole, and not drawing lines between networks, servers, operating systems, databases and applications, and managing them in isolation. ebusiness has brought these individual components even closer. The following 6 areas comprise the Unicenter 3.0 family of solutions. Database Management Network and Systems Management Automated Operations Management IT Resource Management Web Infrastructure Management Application Management Page:2

3 As shown in the above figure each of the above 6 solutions could be deployed as a stand-alone module or integrated together using the Common Services. To maintain the purpose of this document, the following discussion focuses on Unicenter Database Management Solutions. As one of the important components of Unicenter 3.0, going forward Unicenter Database Management for Open Systems tools would be shipped with the Common Services software. It would be optional to install the Common Services component during the installation process. This approach provides the capability for future integration with the industry leading, best of bread, Unicenter 3.0 family solutions. This provides the flexibility for the tools to stand-alone or work cohesively when required. One of the major benefits for Enterprise Database Management clients is now they would be able to better monitor the database applications in correlation with the server, operating systems, network including improved job scheduling and event management capabilities. The Unicenter Database Management for Open Systems (Formerly ) family comprises of 3 solution suites. Unicenter Database Administration Unicenter Database Performance Management Unicenter Database Backup and Recovery Database Administration Solution Unicenter Enterprise DBA streamlines DBA maintenance tasks in a heterogeneous environment from a single point of control. This client/server tool allows schema management changes, simplifies migrations, eases the process of rollback and restart, and provides the ability to compare and synchronize relational database structures. It offloads complex database-intensive tasks to faster, more powerful servers for execution, freeing your workstation and reducing network bottlenecks. RDBMS Supported: Oracle, MS SQL Server, Sybase, Informix Unicenter DBA - For customers that have moderate database s to administer and do not need the offline capability of the Enterprise version - also streamlines DBA maintenance tasks in a heterogeneous environment by providing an interface that gives different RDBMSs a common look and feel. Provides for drag-and-drop copy or migration of common database objects in a heterogeneous environment. Replicates entire databases with all dependencies and security or optionally move partial schemas. View Tablespaces and check Page:3
