run startup/shutdown script on windows.

I need to map a network drive to backup mssql database, I used to use windows 2003 resource kit to run autoexnt service, but I found the following method is also working for me on windows 2008 standard edition. here you go.

Now if you want to integrate any kind of script to automatically run when Windows starts or shuts down (user logon/logoff), you must follow these steps:

1. Click Start - Run and type mmc



(note that you must be logged in with an administrator account for this)

2. On the Management console that starts, click File -> Add/Remove Snap-in.

3. On the window that opens, search for Group Policy Object editor on the left panel, click Add and in the properties window that pops out leave the settings that are selected (Local computer) and click ok. The result should be like in the picture bellow






Click "OK"

4. Navigate through the left panel by opening each branch like this: Console Root -> Computer configuration -> Windows Settings -> Scripts (Startup/shutdown)



5. Open the properties window for Startup or Shutdown as you desire from the right panel; on the window that pops out add, edit or remove scripts that you want.




This works on Windows 2000/2003/XP and Vista. Hope you found this useful.

oracle dba_hist_sysmetric_summary

found this blog is helpful to get CPU and IO statistics on oracle database. http://shob-dbadmin.blogspot.ca/2012/12/how-to-find-total-io-of-database.html courtesy to  Shomil Bansal , below are hist writing, not mine. How to find total IO of the database instance Total IO of database instance is sum of the physical reads, physical writes and redo writes. There are several views to find these values. v$sysmetric  - Reports metric values for only the most current time sample 60 secs. v$sysmetric_summary  - Reports metric values for time sample of 1 hour. v$sysmetric_history  - Reports metric values every 60 sec from the time instance is up. Better way to analyse IO using this view to take deltas between two time periods. dba_hist_sysmetric_history  - All the above views are refreshed when the instance is restarted. This view, part of AWR, stores the historical stats. I have used this view for my report. Query: ====== set lines 350...
