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
