NOTE: Oracle supports up to 5,000 systems and 50,000 events.

NOTE: 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.

NOTE: 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. 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. For details on how to auto start these services, see the Oracle

documentation 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.
