Issue
The "Start DB Logging" button is disabled (missing) in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.

User-added image
Cause

The Start DB Logging button is used to Starting database logging. This will take an initial snapshot of database statistics that will be used to generate additional database performance information in the ASR report.

This feature is enabled when an RSA Supplied Local Database is in use.
This feature is currently disabled when an RSA Supplied External Database is in use. 

Resolution
At this time this feature is not available for RSA Supplied External Databases.
Workaround

The Oracle stats pack is installed on RSA Supplied Remote Databases and can be used to get Oracle information.  This should be done by executing SQLPlus as the perfstat user in a command shell on the Remote Database server when logged in as the user oracle.

For example,

acm-750p03:~ # su - oracle
oracle@acm-750p03:~> sqlplus perfstat/secret

1. Generate an Oracle StatsPack Snapshot on the remote database to use as a reference point for the start of the report.
 

EXEC statspack.snap;
 


2. Conduct the activity on the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle server that you wish to capture information for.

3. Generate another Oracle StatsPack Snapshot on the remote database to use as the reference point for the end of the report.
 

EXEC statspack.snap;
 


4. Generate the Oracle StatsPack report.
