• HP PolyServe Software for Microsoft SQL Server
• Oracle 11g R2 (11.x.x.x)
• Oracle 10g R2 10.2.0.3 or later
NOTE: Oracle 10g and 11g use the same JDBC driver version 10.2.0.4.
You must install the Oracle JDBC driver, version 10.2.0.4. You can download this driver from
the Oracle website at http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/
index.html.
All Oracle Database Versions list the JDBC driver as ojdbc14.jar. You must select the correct
file under the Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.4) JDBC Drivers section.
Even though the files are listed as ojdbc.jar, some Oracle depot sites convert it to a “.zip”
extension during the download. This ensures that the file attributes are not changed when you
ftp the files to CMS, through an HP—UX or Linux System. After the file is on the CMS, you
must change the extension from “.zip” to “.jar”.
The Oracle database must be created with Unicode character set of AL32UTF8 and national
character set of AL16UTF16 before installing HP SIM. The NLS Length must be set to BYTE.
You must also specify the thin client .jar file location. HP SIM requires Oracle database and
Transparent Network Substrate (TNS) listener services to be up and running when system is
restarted. Oracle by itself does not start the Oracle database and TNS listener automatically.
An Oracle database administrator (DBA) must set these services to be restarted when the
server is reset. See the Oracle documentation for details on how to auto start these services
at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/post-inst.htm#sthref548. Access
to this link requires registration. The Oracle DBA who manages the Oracle installation must
perform this task.
