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.
