How to implement Oracle Database Compliance

Overview

Matrix42 Software Asset Management provides an Oracle database inventory option by integrating a specific external scanner. This system scans computer on Oracle database instances. Based on the imported data, Matrix42 Software Asset Management generates fingerprints and installations for Oracle databases and triggers the creation of license requirements for Oracle databases.

The external scanner is integrated by "OracleDatabase Inventory" data provider.

Solution components

Several system components are used for specific tasks for Oracle database inventory purposes. These system components are designed in a way that allows them to automatically communicate with each other:

  1. The Oracle databases are inventoried via an agent installed on the respective server. While data can also be collected via scripts and without agent, experience has shown that using local agents is the more practical and proven approach. Therefore we recommend this solution approach.
  2. The agents communicate with a virtual scan appliance that runs under VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. This automated component triggers the agents and consolidates, aggregates and analyzes the collected information. License compliance of these data is also verified.
  3. Matrix42 Data Gateway provides the communication and data transport between the virtual scan appliance and Matrix42 Software Asset Management. The data gateway can be installed on any Windows server.
  4. Matrix42 Software Asset Management  imports collected inventory data and stores it in its database providing Oracle database worksheets and license requirements based on analyzed inventory data.
