CHAPTER 8 Oracle RAC Advanced Administration > Administering Services
Administering Services
The following tools are available for administering services:
Database Creation Assistant (DBCA) An easy and intuitive GUI tool for creating and modifying services.
Oracle Enterprise Manager/Grid Control (OEM/GC) An easy and intuitive GUI tool for managing services.
Server control (SRVCTL) A comprehensive command-line Oracle RAC administration tool. DBCA and OEM, in turn, call this tool.
Oracle highly recommends the use of SRVCTL and OEM for managing services.
NOTE
It is not recommended that you use the DBMS_SERVICE package to modify a service that requires persistence across restarts. Service modifications using DBMS_SERVICE do not update the attributes of the cluster resources in the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR). Oracle Clusterware updates the service updates stored in the cluster resources, and the changes made by the DBMS_SERVICE package will be lost. SRVCTL is the recommended tool for administering and managing services.
