Gather Oracle Database Environment Inventory
FlexNet Manager Suite 2019 R2 (On-Premises Edition)
You can use the Gather Oracle database environment inventory option to
collect Oracle inventory through a direct connection between the FlexNet Beacon
component (present on every inventory beacon) and every Oracle server within
its assigned subnet. You may use this choice when:
- You cannot install FlexNet inventory agent on every Oracle server. (When locally installed, the FlexNet inventory agent automatically collects Oracle inventory.)
- The access restrictions prevent inventory beacons connecting to all devices present within their assigned subnet to discover Oracle servers.
When you use this option, the FlexNet Beacon engine on each inventory beacon uses the listener and services information added manually through the web interface of FlexNet Manager Suite to establish a direct connection to every database within its subnet. This way, the entire network is not scanned to find Oracle servers.
