Automatic Diagnostics Repository (ADR)

ABOUT

ADRCI is a command-line tool that is part of the fault diagnosability infrastructure introduced in Oracle Database Release 11g. 

      ADRCI enables you to:

• View diagnostic data within the Automatic Diagnostic Repository (ADR).
• View Health Monitor reports.
• Package incident and problem information into a zip file for transmission to Oracle Support.

Diagnostic data includes incident and problem descriptions, trace files, dumps, health monitor reports, alert log entries, and more.

ADRCI has a rich command set, and can be used in interactive mode or within scripts. In addition, ADRCI can execute scripts of ADRCI commands in the same way that SQL*Plus executes scripts of SQL and PL/SQL commands.

ADR data is secured by operating system permissions on the ADR directories, hence there is no need to log in to ADRCI.
