Detecting Oracle resources
Oracle resources are automatically detected after the application server is added to IBM Storage® Protect Plus. However, you can run an inventory job to detect any changes that occurred since the application server was added.
Before you begin
IBM Storage Protect Plus uses the Oracle instance inventory files that are named inventory.xml to locate databases. These files are contained in a ContentsXML subdirectory for each instance that is pointed to by the /etc/oraInst.loc file. Ensure that the inventory files and the oraInst.loc file are updated with the latest changes to your environment. If the inventory files are outdated or corrupted, or if the oraInst.loc file does not point to the inventory locations, the associated databases are not be recognized in IBM Storage Protect Plus. For more information about managing the Oracle instance inventory, see https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/em.112/e12255/oui2_manage_oracle_homes.htm#OUICG143.
Procedure
To run an inventory job, complete the following steps:
- In the navigation panel, click .
- In the list of Oracle instances, select an instance or click the link for the instance to navigate to the resource that you want. For example, if you want to run an inventory job for an individual database in the instance, click the instance link and then select a virtual machine.
- Click Run Inventory.
