Discovering usage of Oracle Database features

To retrieve detailed information about Oracle Database editions, options, and management packs that are used in your infrastructure, use Get Oracle Database Measurements fixlet. When the information is imported to BigFix Inventory, it is displayed on the Oracle Databases report.

Before you begin

There are two options on how to gather the data:
  • For Linux, AIX, and Solaris endpoints, the Get Oracle Database Measurements fixlet provides accurate information.
  • Distribute the Oracle reporting script to the relevant endpoints and run the Get Oracle Database Measurements fixlet.

Get Oracle Database Measurements fixlet description provides detailed explanation about its use.

10.0.11 Starting from version 10.0.11, pluggable databases (CDB/PDB) can be distinguished. The below image shows the detected licensable options grouped by the database, on which they were detected. The image also shows the theta database instance, which has CDB root named CDB$ROOT and pluggable database THETAPDB. Databases without multitenancy are not renamed, such as beta database. Databases prior to version 12 are named after the name of the instance.

Note: The 'Version' column is renamed to 'Release'. A new 'Detailed Version' column is available which shows the version details along with patch-level information.
