Check changes in OS and DB

[hope_8]

Hi peeps!

need some help with regards to O/S and DB changes.

how do i check/know/list all changes (program change, maintenance, configuration/parameter changes, object changes, data fixes, etc) for the following operating systems and databases:
1.) HPUX 11.11
2.) OS400
3.) AIX v5
4.) Win 2000
5.) Sun Solaris
6.) Red Hat Linux
7.) Oracle 9i up
8.) DB2
9.) SQL 2000
10.) Informix

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance =)

-hope-

You could look at SiteKeeper for Windows platforms - http://www.sitekeeper.biz/systems-management.asp

I assume that you've also posted this on other relevent forums, e.g.:
HP-UX - http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/categoryhome.do?categoryId=156

Red Hat - http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/forumdisplay.php?forumid=31

Databases - http://www.dbforums.com/

My guess is that for most of these you won't be able to do what you want. Certainly, I don't see how you can in HP-UX - you can use swlist to tell you what's installed, but most configuration settings are changed by manually editing individual files - so I don't see how a utility will tell you what's changed in these files unless you've baselined it before you started making changes. Ask the guys on the HP-UX forum - they're much more knowledgable on HP-UX than I am.

BTW, are you actually working on all these platforms? Or is it an academic question?

Good luck,

Gary

you can turn on auditing if your system is converted to trusted mode so that you can capture all that information.

turn on auditing using sam or by editing /etc/rc.config.d/auditing file on HP-UX server.

This is what I did on my system:

AUDITING=1
PRI_AUDFILE=/.secure/etc/audfile1
PRI_SWITCH=1000000
SEC_AUDFILE=/.secure/etc/audfile2
SEC_SWITCH=4096000
AUDEVENT_ARGS1=" -P -F -e moddac -e modaccess -e login -e admin"
AUDEVENT_ARGS2=" -P -F -e delete -e readdac"
AUDEVENT_ARGS3=""
AUDEVENT_ARGS4=""
AUDOMON_ARGS=" -p 10 -t 1 -w 90"
