Transparency into the licensing of Oracle Database features
Correctly licensing Oracle Database features and options is an extensive task that may require a deep level of investigation to understand the licensing results. The new Oracle Database transparency feature now provides you with greater visibility into the reason why an Oracle feature (option or pack) is, or is not, used on an Oracle database instance.
The major part of this feature is an enhancement to the Used property of the option/pack listed in the Options tab of the properties of the Oracle database instance. This property indicates whether an Oracle option or pack that is installed on the database instance is reportedly used (Yes) or not used (No). This result now links to the new Usage Details dialog, which lists the host name of the local server and any OEM server(s) that were scanned to get these results, and the date of each scan. If additional information is available, the dialog lists the result of each test that was run to determine whether or not each option or pack was used, and which feature of the Oracle database instance was tested. We recommend that you use the latest version of the Oracle Inventory scripts which are distributed with the Application Recognition Library and other library downloads to achieve the highest data quality for this feature.
The second part of this new feature is an enhancement which links the existing Option name property to the properties of that Oracle Database option or pack. This link opens the General tab of the application properties page for the option. This enhancement is enabled by default.
Both of these new features are located in the Options tab of the Oracle instance properties page (). For more information, refer to the Options tab page in the online help.
