SOX (Sarbanes Oxley Act) requires that all duties are clearly assigned.
Real-World Experience shows that the borders between DBA and Application support are astonishing UNclear!
Don't leave any room for discussion that's "the other, but not we". Execute a self assessment using our template - and be prepared for surprise!

DBA and Application Support:
Job-Description and Self-Assessment.
Checklist
to ensure that all 60 DBA-duties are assigned:
System DBA, Development DBA and Application DBA versus Application
Support
If you have just a job role "DBA", but not a dedicated
job role "Application DBA" those 19 duties must be explicitly
assigned to either "Application Support" or to the "DBA"
- otherwise they might not be executed!
Detect unassigned tasks before an auditor reports them ! |

The documentation template filled out for each interface will significantly improve your system documentation. Latest during troubleshooting the first problem you will either quickly find a hint - or realize that "in that empty box there should be the answer".
If you don't have time now to document your at least 100 interfaces - do it latest then for that interface where you are just solving a problem.
There is one problem Mercury's template can't solve: The interface might be the connection between two systems developed and operated by two different teams - who will fill it out ? Having two documents - "From System A to handover-point" and a second "From handover-point into System B" is not the optimum.
But our real world experience shows that both teams doing that together in one meeting not only gets that done, but additionally significantly improves the understanding of the data exchange in both teams!
