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/technetwork/indexes/downloads/
index.html.
NOTE: You must create the Oracle database with a Unicode character set of AL32UTF8
and a national character set of AL16UTF16 before you install 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 TNS listener services to be running when the system is restarted.
Oracle by itself does not start the Oracle database and TNS listener automatically. An Oracle
DBA must set these services to be restarted when the server is reset. For information on how
to automatically start these services, see the Oracle documentation at http://www.oracle.com/
pls/db102/homepage. Access to this link requires registration. The Oracle DBA who manages
the Oracle installation must perform this task.
