Error description

  • In the Oracle Sensor documentation at this link;
    
    http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tivihelp/v46r1/index.jsp?topic
    =%2Fcom.ibm.taddmsensors.doc_7.2.2%2FSensorGuideRef%2Fr_cmdb_sen
    sor_oracle_async_script.html
    
    the statement "For script-based discovery, the Oracle operating
    system user credential is required (access over SSH) instead of
    the Oracle user credential, which is required in a
    nonscript-based discovery." is not entirely correct. It should
    state "For script-based discovery, the owner of Oracle_home
    directory is required as the Oracle user credential. The script
    sensor specifically locates this user to perform the Oracle
    database queries.  This user must be defined in the access
    list otherwise the sensor will "CTJTP1186E The entries in the
    access list are not applicable".
    
    Additionally, the initial Operating System user which starts
    this sensor using Computer System credentials must have read
    access to the files /etc/oratab or /var/opt/oracle/oratab to
    obtain ORACLE_HOME and the Oracle User.
    

Local fix

  • For Oracle script based discovery, ensure the owner of the
    Oracle_home directory is defined in the access list as an Oracle
    credential.
    

Problem summary

  • FOR SCRIPT BASED ORACLE DISCOVERY, THEOWNER OF ORACLE_HOME MUST
    BE DEFINED IN THE ACCESS LIST.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The following changes will be made in the next release of the
    publications:
    Topic: Sensors > Sensor reference > Database sensors > Oracle
    sensor > Asynchronous and script-based discovery support
    

Temporary fix
