Process Architecture
• User process
– Is the application or tool that connects to the Oracle
database
• Database processes
– Server process: Connects to the Oracle instance and is
started when a user establishes a session
– Background processes: Are started when an Oracle instance
is started
• Daemon / Application processes
– Networking listeners
– Grid infrastructure daemons

Writes modified (dirty) buffers in the database buffer cache to
disk:
• Asynchronously while performing other processing
• To advance the checkpoint

Log Writer Process (LGWR)
• Writes the redo log buffer to a redo log file on disk
• Writes:
– When a user process commits a transaction
– When the redo log buffer is one-third full
– Before a DBWn process writes modified buffers to disk
– Every 3 seconds

Recoverer Process
• Used with the distributed database configuration
• Automatically connects to other databases involved in in-
doubt distributed transactions
• Automatically resolves all in-doubt transactions
• Removes any rows that correspond to in-doubt
transactions

Archiver Processes (ARCn)
• Copy redo log files to a designated storage device after a
log switch has occurred
• Can collect transaction redo data and transmit that data to
standby destinations

SYSTEM and SYSAUX Tablespaces
• The SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces are mandatory
tablespaces that are created at the time of database
creation. They must be online.
• The SYSTEM tablespace is used for core functionality (for
example, data dictionary tables).
• The auxiliary SYSAUX tablespace is used for additional
database components (such as the Enterprise Manager
Repository).
• The SYSTEM and SYSAUX tablespaces are not
recommended to be used to store application's data.

Automatic Storage Management
• Is a portable and high-performance
cluster file system
• Manages Oracle database files
• Manages application files with
ASM Cluster File System (ACFS)
• Spreads data across disks
to balance load
• Mirrors data in case of failures
• Solves storage-management
challenges
