10G Database Flashback, a must have!

I would highly recommend when installing the database for your OIM implementations that you enable, configure, and test the Flashback point-in-time recovery system within your 10g database. The import process, while an incredible time-saver for managing multiple environments, has a tendency to corrupt things from time to time. Specifically we have noticed that importing an updated process form that contains child forms tends to not function properly and can cause loss of the entire form configuration.

Flashback will allow your DBA to quickly recover your OIM database to the point just prior to your import attempt, saving you much heartache, pain, tears, and other such issues.
