We’re happy to announce a new update release of our Oracle Management Pack for SCOM. The 21.9.2568.0 release contains new features, fixes, and changes. On top of this, we have also released a new datasheet and a white paper that you can find more information about further down in this article.

The discovery of extra table space properties and extra datafile properties can improve the overview of space usage and report.

  • Other small issues
