Oracle collection user on the target Oracle instances.
If you do not select this option, you must create the Oracle Collection User using either the Config
User action or the Install Oracle Collection Account remote command. See the online help for
complete information.

What to do next
n
If your target Oracle instance is Oracle 10g, you must set user permissions. See "Grant Permissions for
the Oracle Collection User Account on Oracle 10g" on page 136.
n
To begin managing your Oracle instances, you must collect data from the target instances. See "Collect
Oracle Data" on page 137.
Add Oracle Instances
Adding Oracle instances identifies host Solaris machines and provides the Oracle SID, Oracle Home, Oracle
Software Owner, DBA Group, and Oracle Collection User for the added instances.
You add Oracle instances if the collection of the Oracle instances from the host machines does not retrieve
Oracle Home, Oracle SID and Oracle Software Owner from the oratab file on host machines.
Prerequisites
n
Add, license, and install the Agent on Solaris machines hosting Oracle instances. See "Discover, License,
and Install UNIX/Linux Machines" on page 111.
n
Collect from the target Solaris machines using the Machines - General and Oracle - Management Views
data types. The collection process discovers Oracle instances from the oratab file on Solaris machines.
See "Discover Oracle Instances" on page 132.
