Perform Post-Installation Tasks

After you have installed the agent, complete the following post-installation tasks:

  1. Check whether Oracle Server is operating in ARCHIVELOG mode.
  2. Start ARCHIVELOG mode if it is not running.
  3. Enable the database for automatic archiving.

    Note: For an Oracle 10g and 11g database, after you start archivelog mode, Oracle enables automatic archiving for you. For all other databases, you must follow all the steps in the Automatic Archiving section to enable automatic archiving.

  4. Configure the agent by running the orasetup program.
  5. Although optional, we strongly recommend that you create an RMAN catalog. We also recommend that you create this catalog in a database other than the one RMAN manages.

Important! You must perform these post-installation tasks on each machine on which you have installed the agent, including when the agent is installed on a RAC node.
