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/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/index.html.
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. Access to this link
requires registration, which is free. The Oracle DBA who manages the Oracle installation must perform
this task.
