That's a tougher question for me than it used to be. I've been languishing in the segregated role of report designer without much direct exposure to administration as I used to have. Here's what comes to mind though. <strong>Big Stuff:</strong> -will I be expected to lead a major upgrade; if so from what version to what version? -will I be solely responsible for minor/incremental patches? -what are your current procedures for backup and recovery? Bare UNIX scripts? 3rd party tool? -have you every had to recover from a back up? <strong>Daily:</strong> -how many developers think they get to touch my box? (I think it's OK to sound aggressively possessive about your environment, but make sure you get a read from the interviewer before you go balls to the wall) -are you clustering? -who updates ROXs on the server? How frequently? -describe the volume of daily reporting? What are the big run days and why? -Do you use Actuate to manage users or LDAP or other? -Do you use complex/nested security roles? I'll see if I can get one of my admins to comment here too. @Phil…

That’s a tougher question for me than it used to be. I’ve been languishing in the segregated role of report designer without much direct exposure to administration as I used to have.

Here’s what comes to mind though.

Big Stuff:
-will I be expected to lead a major upgrade; if so from what version to what version?
-will I be solely responsible for minor/incremental patches?
-what are your current procedures for backup and recovery? Bare UNIX scripts? 3rd party tool?
-have you every had to recover from a back up?

Daily:
-how many developers think they get to touch my box? (I think it’s OK to sound aggressively possessive about your environment, but make sure you get a read from the interviewer before you go balls to the wall)
-are you clustering?
-who updates ROXs on the server? How frequently?
-describe the volume of daily reporting? What are the big run days and why?
-Do you use Actuate to manage users or LDAP or other?
-Do you use complex/nested security roles?

I’ll see if I can get one of my admins to comment here too.
