Configure Oracle

Before you begin the CA APM installation, complete the following tasks so that you can install and use the product with Oracle:

Configure the sqlnet.ora file so that you can successfully log in to the product.
If the CA APM database is Oracle, configure the Oracle Net Service Name for CA MDB on each CA APM computer. This task allows the server to connect to the Oracle database.
If you are implementing CA SAM with CA APM and the CA SAM database is Oracle, configure the Oracle Net Service Name for the CA SAM implementation on the CA APM installation server and on the CA APM web server.
In Oracle, verify that the tablespace path folder for the CA MDB has write privileges.
Verify that 32-bit Oracle Client Tools are installed on all servers that access the Oracle database.
