Preparing to Work with an Oracle MDB

Use the CA ITCM installation wizard to configure the manager to work with an Oracle MDB, as described following. It is crucial that the parameter values specified during these configuration steps must match the parameter values entered during the Oracle MDB installation:

• On the "Configure Manager" page of the wizard you must enter the mandatory specifications (connection parameters) for the target database system, such as:
  • MDB Provider (select Oracle)
  • MDB Server
  • MDB Password
  • Database administrator (sys)

    (For more information, see Database Administrator User on Oracle.)

  • Database administrator password
• Click the Database button in the Advanced Manager Configuration area to open another wizard page to specify advanced configuration settings for a custom MDB installation.
• On the "Configure Oracle MDB" page you can enter advanced configuration settings, such as:
  • Compatibility mode

    Note: The Compatibility mode check box must be selected if you are going to install a new MDB 1.5 as shipped with the product and you have planned to later install another CA Technologies product that only supports MDB 1.0.4. If the Compatibility mode check box is not selected, the installation of any follow-up product that does not support MDB 1.5 will fail.

    Default: Compatibility mode is not selected.

  • MDB database name

    Default: orcl

  • Database port number

    Default: 1521

  • MDB administrator password
