Required Information

Gather the following required information before configuring a supported Oracle or Oracle RAC database as a policy store or any other type of SOA Security Manager data store:

• (U) Policy Server installation path—Identify the explicit path to where the Policy Server is installed.
• Data source—Determine the name you will use to identify the Oracle data source.

  Example: SM Oracle Server Wire DS.

• Database administrative account—Determine the user name of an account with privileges to create, read, modify, and delete objects in the database.

  Note: Ensure the administrative account does not have the DB role. Audit-based reports will not return correct results if the administrative account has the DB role.

• Database administrative Password—Determine the password for the Administrative account.
