NOTE: The Oracle database must be created with Unicode character set of AL32UTF8 and
national character set of AL16UTF16 before installing Systems Insight Manager. The NLS
Length must be set to BYTE. You must also specify the thin client .jar file location. Systems
Insight Manager 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.
