A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`

How to Discover Oracle LMS Data

Note Installing the Oracle LMS package adds Oracle LMS related resources to UCMDB, including:

An activity in Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone Based Discovery > New Discovery Activity > Auditing. For more information see the section describing how to run a zone-based discovery in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.
The Oracle LMS Data Collection by SQL and Oracle LMS CPU Data Collection by Shell jobs in Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Discovery Modules/Jobs > Discovery Modules > Auditing.
The Oracle LMS Report in Modeling > Reports > Custom Reports > Custom > Auditing.

Outline

Following is the discovery process for collecting Oracle LMS data:

Configuring and activating discovery, to discover (a) the servers hosting Oracle databases, and (b) virtualization information
Discovering Oracle database instances
Running the Oracle LMS Data Collection by SQL job on the discovered Oracle database servers to collect the LMS DB Options data
Running the Oracle LMS CPU Data Collection by Shell job on the discovered Oracle database servers to collect the LMS CPU data

Note The Oracle LMS CPU data report requires UCMDB 10.30 or later.

Task

Note This part of the document describes all the task steps. You may already have completed some of these steps. If so, you do not have to repeat such steps, though you should ensure the configurations are accurate. For example, you do not need to create a new Management Zone if you already have one.

You must have full read access rights to the target Oracle database server.

This task includes the following steps:

Prerequisite - Set up protocol credentials
You must configure the following protocols:
- NTCMD, SSH, PowerCmd, or Universal Discovery; to discover the hosts where Oracle is installed.
- Generic DB Protocol (SQL); to discover Oracle instances.
- VMware VIM; to discover virtualization topology.
For details, see the section describing Data Flow Probe Setup in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.
Note
- On Linux, root access is verified at the beginning of the Oracle's CPU script; if the root access is missing, a warning message is returned by the Oracle LMS CPU Data Collection by Shell job.
- Query scripts must be run from a temp folder with write permissions for the current user.
- If you prefer not to configure SID in the Oracle credential, you can discover the Oracle SID in either of the following ways:
  
  Run the Basic Software Configuration Discovery Activity to collect the SID information.
  
  Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-Based Discovery > Management Zones > select a Management Zone > click > select New Discovery Activity > Software Configuration > Basic.
  
  Configure the activity.
  
  Make sure you select the Run Oracle Discovery check box on the Discovery Preferences page.
  
  Right-click the new activity you just configured and select Activate to discover the Oracle CI with SID information.
  
  Run the Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Discovery Modules/Jobs > Discovery Modules > Hosts and Resources > Basic Applications > Host Applications by Shell job to discover the Oracle SID.
Create a Management Zone

Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone Based Discovery, and click the button. Select New Management Zone.

For details, see the section describing how to run a zone-based discovery in the Data Flow Management section of the UCMDB Help.
Create an Infrastructure Discovery activity and activate it
1. Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-Based Discovery > Management Zones.
2. Select the appropriate Management Zone.
3. Click the button.
4. Select New Discovery Activity > Infrastructure.
  
  The New Infrastructure Discovery Activity dialog box appears.
  
  For details, see Infrastructure Discovery Activity.
Create an Inventory Discovery activity and activate it
1. Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone-Based Discovery > Management Zones.
2. Select the appropriate Management Zone.
3. Click the button.
4. Select New Discovery Activity > Inventory.
  
  The New Inventory Discovery Activity dialog box appears.
  
  For details, see Inventory Discovery Activity.
Important:
- If Oracle is also hosted on Microsoft Hyper-V, Solaris Zones, or VMware ESX, you have the following options:
  
  Enable Include virtualization topology on the Virtualization page of the Inventory Discovery Activity wizard.
  
  Create a Virtualization Discovery activity, and activate it. (See below.)
- If Oracle is hosted on IBM LPAR (HMC), Linux Xen/KVM, Oracle VM for SPARC, or HPE nPartitions, you must create a Virtualization Discovery activity and activate it.
  
  To create a Virtualization Discovery activity and activate it:
  
  Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone Based Discovery > Management Zones.
  
  Select the appropriate Management Zone.
  
  Click the button.
  
  Select New Discovery Activity > Software Configuration > Virtualization.
  
  The New Virtualization Discovery Activity dialog box appears.
  
  Create the activity and activate it by following the online prompts through the activity wizard. You must enable discovery of the virtualization technologies that are in your environment.
Create a Database Discovery activity and activate it
1. Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone Based Discovery > Management Zones.
2. Select the appropriate Management Zone.
3. Click the button.
4. Select New Discovery Activity > Software Configuration > Database.
  
  The New Database Software Configuration Discovery Activity dialog box appears.
5. Create the activity and activate it by following the online prompts through the activity wizard. You must enable Run Oracle Discovery on the Discovery Preferences page of the activity wizard.
Create an Oracle LMS Audit activity and activate it
1. Go to Data Flow Management > Universal Discovery > Zone Based Discovery > Management Zones.
2. Select the appropriate Management Zone.
3. Click the button.
4. Select New Discovery Activity > Auditing > Oracle LMS.
