Alternate Approach to Modify Permissions in Oracle
Oracle has provided a change permissions script, changePerm.sh, which is included with most Oracle
10g installations. This script is typically located in $ORACLE_HOME/install by default.
An alternate approach is to run the changePerm.sh script. Running this script relaxes permissions on
several directories and files in Oracle Home so that users who are not part of the Oracle DBA Group can
access parts of Oracle, such as SQL*Plus. However, because running this script grants every UNIX account
read and execute permissions to most, if not all, directories and files in Oracle Home, this option is not
recommended.
Performing an Oracle Collection
Run a collection on UNIX machines using the Oracle - Management Views data class. Any fields that were
modified in the Oracle administration data grid will be used in collections of data performed during the
discovery process.
NOTE To limit the amount of data stored in the change log, from collections performed using the Oracle
- Management Views data class before the Oracle Collection User account was defined, ensure that you
check the option, Do not limit collection to deltas for this collection.
Exploring Oracle Collection Results
After collecting Oracle data, view the data in the Management Views in Console > Enterprise
Applications > Oracle > Management Views.
The Oracle Management Views display security information, including users, roles, and privileges;
configuration settings; and database parameters for Oracle Instances. The data in these views is collected
from views within each Oracle Instance on supported Solaris machines. Each Oracle Management View
displays the Oracle data, the Machine Name, Instance Name (Oracle SID), and the date the data was last
updated.
Reference Information about Oracle
