Ongoing Administration

After the system is fully installed and operational, the ongoing system administration is required.

Database administration requires a DBA to periodically check for database health, including free space and performance.
System administration requires a system administrator to monitor disk space, network connectivity, and system security.
Backups and restores requires an IT professional to back up the database, including archive logs and file system per data center policies.
Shutdown and startup requires an IT professional start or stop the application, when necessary. It is highly recommended that application startup and shutdown scripts be added to the machine startup/shutdown sequence and to any backup scripts.
