and managing Informix databases in the AIX environment. This will

supporting production databases, including backup and recovery
procedures .
Database performance analysis and disk utilization monitoring will also

Why is the position necessary? As STS develops more and more systems
utilizing the Informix RDBMS, there is a corresponding increase in the
amount of effort required to both develop and maintain the database
environment. As applications are deployed into a production mode, the
DBA
is responsible for monitoring performance, disk utilization, and
availability. We did not replace a DBA who resigned in the fall. We
managed workloads and did minimal proactive production monitoring to get
by,
primarily responding to production problems. With additional increases
in
demand due to the Y2K remediation efforts, we can no longer just manage
the
workload to accomplish all that needs to be done. Adding this person
will
help to meet the current demand as well as provide the resources to do
much
needed preventive maintenance work
