Oracle Collection Results
You use the collected Oracle data to manage your Oracle instances. The data is available for several
management actions.
The displayed data is only as current as the last time that you collected the data.
Option Description
Console Displays security information for users, roles, privileges, configuration
settings, and database parameters for Oracle instances. The data in
these views is collected from views in each Oracle instance on
supported Solaris machines.
To view the collected data, click Console and select Enterprise
Applications > Oracle > Management Views.
Compliance Determines if the collected data from target machines meets specified
compliance values.
To run compliance checks, click Compliance and select Machine
Group Compliance and follow the steps described in the online help
to create rule groups, rules, filters, and templates.
Reports Creates custom Oracle reports based on collected Oracle management
views data. Reports are run against currently collected data.
Depending on the volume or complexity of the data requested in a
report, it might take time to generate the report. See the online help
for information about scheduling and disseminating reports.
To create Oracle reports, click Reports and select Machine Group
Reports.
