2.4 Discovering Oracle Resources

Use the Discovery_OracleUNIX Knowledge Script to discover instances of Oracle RDBMS.

To successfully discover Oracle configuration and resource information, you must use the AppManager Security Manager extension to specify the Oracle user, password, and the Oracle database instance names you want to monitor. Also, the account with which you run this script must have SELECT permissions for the following tables:

DBA_DATA_FILES

DBA_SEGMENTS

DBA_TABLESPACES

DBA_USERS

V_$DATABASE

V_$INSTANCE

V_$VERSION

By default, this script runs once for each computer.

Set the Values tab parameters as needed.

Description

How to Set It

Oracle Username

Enter the Oracle RDBMS username used to access the target databases. If you run this script on more than one computer, configure each database with the same username. The default value is blank.

NOTE:To use SYSDBA authentication, leave the Oracle Username parameter blank.

Discover instances not automatically started on system boot?

Select Yes to discover Oracle instances not started by the dbstart utility upon system boot. This information is obtained from the oratab file. By default, these instances are discovered.

Keep version number in root node?

Select Yes to keep the version number in the root node of the discovered tree. The default is unselected.

NOTE:If this option is unselected, the discovered tree does not contain the version number of the Oracle database appended to the root node name. Without the version number attached to the discovered tree, an Oracle module update, when there is a database upgrade, happens seamlessly. If the option is selected, the version number is a part of the root node name.
