Recognize operational risks
Your Oracle database is running. Is your company prepared for a worst-case scenario?
Oracle environments often host processes where downtime, data loss, or unclear access rights are particularly costly. At the same time, the demands are increasing: more automation, shorter recovery times, traceable changes, and secure integration into existing IT landscapes.-
How quickly can business-critical databases be restored after an outage?
Are RMAN backups performed reliably, transparently, and without manual routines?
Can data changes be traced back to the user, transaction, and time?
- Can permissions remain manageable in growing Oracle APEX applications? Does the software support your actual processes – or does it dictate new detours?
manage.it combines Oracle consulting with in-house developed software solutions. This results not in a theoretical target image, but in a practical architecture for your specific availability, security, and process requirements.
01
Oracle Database High Availability and Disaster Recovery
We analyze failure scenarios, dependencies, and requirements for restart and data status. This results in a robust high-availability and failover concept that fits your Oracle environment and operating model.db.dragon: Mirroring Services allows you to synchronize two independent Oracle databases. A freely definable time offset, central monitoring, notifications, and controlled switchover processes help protect against hardware, software, and user errors. Depending on the chosen configuration, computationally intensive read, reporting, or backup tasks can be offloaded to the mirror system.
02
Oracle RMAN Backup Automation and Recovery Readiness
An existing backup is not yet a robust recovery process. We help you to consistently structure backup cycles, retention, logging, notification, and recovery workflows.
dragon.RPY automates and orchestrates Oracle RMAN backups. Full and incremental backups run on a schedule, are transparently logged, and can be monitored via email. This relieves DBA teams of repetitive routines and creates a traceable basis for recovery.
03
Oracle APEX Consulting, Development and Security
Oracle APEX enables fast, database-driven business applications. However, with increasing user numbers and growing functionality, architecture, integration, and a clean authorization model become crucial. We support the design and further development of Oracle-based web applications, interfaces, and the securing of complex access models. dragon.XPF extends Oracle APEX with a license-free framework for authentication and authorization – featuring groups, roles, authorization objects, LDAP/Active Directory integration, and optional multi-factor authentication.04

Ideal for: Small and medium-sized enterprises that need seamless, paperless processes without forcing their proven workflows into a rigid standard model.dragon.PDF
PDF/A conversion for Oracle workflows via REST API
dragon.PDF automatically converts existing PDFs into PDF/A files suitable for long-term archiving. A REST call triggers the processing; Oracle BLOB data can be read directly and the result written back to the database. PDF/A-1, PDF/A-2, and PDF/A-3 are supported, as well as integration with Apex Office Print (AOP).
The service can be run under Linux or Windows and offers logging, status codes, and a JSON response for technical monitoring. This allows PDF/A generation to be integrated into existing document, invoice, and archiving processes. Whether an overall process meets specific regulatory requirements is examined in the respective application context. Ideal for: Invoices, orders, quality documents, patient records, and other business documents that need to be kept long-term.dragon.XPF
Oracle APEX authentication and authorization without additional XPF license costs.dragon.XPF maps complex permissions across groups, roles, and individual permission objects. Existing Oracle APEX applications can be integrated; application objects can be automatically synchronized and assigned to roles or groups.
For login, a dedicated user management system is available, as well as integration with LDAP or Microsoft Active Directory. Combined methods and application- or user-specific MFA configurations are also possible. Analysis of effective permissions ensures that administrators maintain an overview despite the growing number of applications.
Ideal for: Companies with multiple APEX applications, differentiated access requirements, or established role models.Discuss the authorization conceptAuthentication for Oracle APEX →
db.dragon: Mirroring Services
