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. 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

this task.
