Modify the name and location of the file of Oracle connection information.
The OEM adapter collects information about connections to Oracle systems
from which you need to gather inventory information. This file is in a standard
Oracle format, used for their TNSNames.ora file. It is saved by
default where the OEM adapter is executing; but the default location
for the OEM adapter does not support automated processing of the
TNSNames.ora file when the inventory beacon
applies rules for gathering Oracle inventory. For the OEM adapter to
function seamlessly, you must customize the location as you edit the
OEMAdapter.exe.config file.
Another reason to customize the file name is if you have multiple instances of the
OEM adapter running from the same computer (or if anyone manually
adds TNSNames.ora files to the processing directory). Each
instance must write to a unique file name, so that one output does not over-write
the other.
These settings live in an add
element with the key
attribute of ConnectionInfoFile
.
To configure data staging:
-
In the OEMAdapter.exe.config file, locate the appropriate
element. Its default values are similar to the following:
<add key="ConnectionInfoFile"
value="C:\Program Files\Flexera\Oracle Enterprise Manager Adapter\TNSNames.ora"></add>
This
reflects the default location of the
OEM adapter, and must be
modified.
-
Replace the
value
string with the new file path and
name.
Important: The file name must use the extension
.ora.
You may use a mapped drive on the local
computer to specify a network path. This example shows the file in the
recommended 'magic path' on the
inventory beacon where the
.ora file is automatically processed to 'filter' the
target supplied from the central
application server. Also notice the
customized file name to avoid naïve overwriting of the
TNSNames.ora file name by other copies saved here:
<add key="ConnectionInfoFile"
value="C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Repository\TNSNames\TNSNames-01.ora"></add>
-
Save the amended configuration file.
The Password Store: Password
Filter dialog displays.
-
Use the Windows schedule task interface to run a test of the OEM adapter to confirm that the staging file is saved according to your
revised specifications. Check the location (recommended:
C:\ProgramData\Flexera Software\Repository\TNSNames\)
for the presence of a saved file immediately after the test run (if you wait too
long, the resulting file may be automatically uploaded and removed from this
staging location).
